Yon knoW in the old times, when religion unfortunately was of a IMpted . character, that to hang up a heretic and to burn him alive was called an, act of faith; an auto (la fc ofa-different charac ter Is that,which we are readyto •edebrate. Let.us celebrate that great act of. faith which consists in believing that the people of 'this. country, however edueated, the more and the - more- educated, will contribute to the honour olthe country and to the safety of the empire. This is, indeed, a - solemn faith—it is a religious faith, because it is felt in the enduring powers and in the diivne experience of the human mind. It is an act of faith which.we may say perhaps former religious were not capable of ; we find it is altogether new to the times in which we live to say we are ready to go on with knowledge—that knowledge shall be its own guide, its own pioneer, and its own reward ; and that we will trust to knowledge and truth wherever they may lead us.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.— It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance; and already its celebrity is world-wide. it has been a subjeet of wonder,. and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet•when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a Perfect bag of bones.". He tried all kinds of thi n g s t o ge t the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wenderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gainer} no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which ca rried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food fot• cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good onion and testimony of those wil l W have tried it.' All parties interested in horses and cattle ho do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a Palophlet which is sent post-free.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c, The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting - of' their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

This Company's Derricks are eminently adapted, by their very power, to accomplishing expeditiously and economically very description of hoist, whether on land or water, required n Government Arsenals and Navy Yards ; or by Dock Com anies, Shipbuilders, Engineers, Contractors, and others ; also, o raising sunken and recovering stranded vessels and their cargoes. , • A large proportion of the vessels wrecked on our coasts may be recovered by the aid of the Patent Floating Derricks, at a guaranteed rate of salvage, ranging betweeu2s and 75 per_ cent. The Company have entered into an agreement with the 1 Marine. Insurance Companies, and Underwriters of London and Liverpoplovbich secures to the former 75 percent. of the net salvage proceeds (after deducting working expenses) from 'all vessels and cargoes, sunk prior-to the date of the agree ment, which may be raised and recovered by means of their Patent Floating Derricks. In the United States two of these Derricks, belonging to the New York Derrick Company, have raised and saved upwards of 400 sunken ' and stranded vessels, and have likewise • hoisted and placed on board the engines and boilers of more than 300 steamers. This Company com menced by paying its shareholders half-yearly dividends of 10 per cent ; but, since July, 1857, has regularly paid quarterly dividends of the like amount. . — The Directors and xheir friends have taken and paid up in full, shares to the extent of £40,000 of the Company's stock, to enable them to construct, and submit to the Public, one river and one sea-going Derrick, both now launched, prior to soliciting co-operation towards fully carrying out the highly important and promising enterprise for which the Patent Derrick Company has been established. The Directors are now prepared to issue to the Public further Shares of £5O each in the Capital Stock of the Com pany to the extent of £20,000. These shares are required to be paid as follows : .£lO per Share on Application, and the - remainder by Calls of £lO each, at intervals of one Month between each Call.

QUEEN'S COLLEGE, LIVERPOOL. On Wednesday evening the first anniversary meeting of this college (which was inaugurated by Lord Brougham last year) was held in the lec ture-hall of the Institute, Mount-Street. Lord BROUGHAM, having taken the chair, said after some introductory allusions—Now, one word as to the course in which society is moving forward at the present day. I do not say that it is moving too quick—Heaven forbid; that is not my opinion ; but I say that there are some persons—worthy and ex cellent persons—zealous, some of them even over zealous, some whose zeal is greater than their know ledge—who are apt to be impatient, and to say that we are not going fast enough. And they go a step further—these over-zealous and impatient though worthy and enlightened individuals often times go a step further, and not only consider that we are moving too slow, but sometimes consider that we are stopping altogether ; nay, I have heard some say, by way of complaint—and if it were well founded a most just complaint it would be, and a most grievous thing, too—that we are going back wards. Now, I could not help thinking of that as I was coming along the other day on my way to this town. I happened to pass, in another part of the county, an old acquaintance of mine, the river Lune, which I have known ever since I knew Lan cashire, and that is many years ago since I went the Northern Circuit. I was passing in the railway train, and the Lune was passing at its ordinary pace, and upon looking out I saw this delusion , which I cannot help thinking a little parallel to the kind of other delusions to which I have adverted ; the Lune seemed to be moving backwards—(laugh ter)—but immediately I saw how it was, and that it could not very easily move up a hill. It was moving at a very fair and rapid pace, but certainly not moving backwards ; and what made me think it was moving backwards was the rapid pace at which I was going in the train. And so it is with those whose complaints I have been commenting. Nov, this no doubt is wrong—this is to be lamented, because it is discouraging in every way. It dis courages their hopes who make these complaints ; it has a tendency to relax their exertions ; it makes them think things are desperate when they are in a prosperous state; and it is very unfair to those, whether of the Government or of the legislature, oalu.thoorif y tha o t th t e a r ke p p art art of in th d e ire c e o li n n s g titu t te h d e tie a s n progress of society, by the best means in their power, and as they believe in the safest and most practical way, because it has a tendency to paralyse and discourage their exertions. (Cheers.) Who can doubt that everything depends upon the culture which we and such as we are giving to the best faculties of the mind ? Ay, and with those faculties to the unfolding and the best feelings of the heart. (Hear, and cheers.) We may well say with a great poet : 44 The godlike form of man bespeaks control, And borrows all its grandeur from the soul; Hers is the splendour, state, and hers the throne, The intellectual kingdom all her own." (Cheers.) Lord JOHN RussELL—After what your chair man has said, it will be unnecessary for me to oc cupy your time—he has so well informed you of what has taken place with regard to this institu tion. He took so large and so useful a part in its foundation that he is better qualified than any other man to speak of its merits. If I were to make any remark at all it should be rather to this effect—that I cannot but see in the success of this institution, in its growing qualification for the wants of education, not only that education is de sired, because upon that nearly all men are now agreed—not only , that education is generally making progress in the country, but that this in stitution has been so framed and has been so modi fied and so improved by those who are charged with its conduct, that it does meet the wants of the community. (Hear, hear.) Now, with re gard to the old systems of education. There were too many of them, like that old house which is deT scribed poetry, with wiudows to shut out the light, and " passages that lead to nothing." There was many a flute when a window was put up w'iich you were to suppose was to let in the light of knowledge, but which, in fact, was so obscure and so - hung with framework that it shut out that very light that it should have intro duced_ to some •of the sciences that were taught. In the olden time, and that not a very olden time, we understood the introduction to • all the, practical knowledge that is wanted in life was merely a passage to some abstract, to some abstruse science, which science itself, when mas tered, was utterly useless. When people attempted not many years ago to improve education, were all the institutions we have founded sufficient for their purpose or well adapted to their end ? I rather think in the case of the establishment of mechanics' institutes in London—in which my noble and learned friend, your chairman, took so great a part, and in which Dr: Birkbeck was so active—that in sonic cases those lectures which were given, being upon deep.mathematieal subjects, and given to working me n who had had a hard day's work, and perhaps' had to leave their homes anti go through the rain to attend lectures, were not at first attractive. But gradually these things became modified, and the success of an institution of this kind is, in fact, a test of the capacity, of the prudence, of the good sense of its conductors. (Hear, hear.) I therefore ask your approbation for this institution, as having been conducted with that prudence, and as having led to that success. (Applause.) I need not say anything, I am sure, as to educatiOn in general, or as to the improvements that may be made, or as to the general state olsociety in this country. All the subjects that belong to those important ques tions must be discussed and treated of elsewhere. I am glad to hear that, with regard to this institu tion, no religious difficility has been-felt, and I ask you to applaud the catholic spirit in which all its proceedings have been conducted. (Applause.) I am' glad to hear that lately - it has been se far con nected with the University of London that young men educated here may be there examined, and re ceive those testimonials to their ability and profi ciency which they so well deserve. I will not trouble you a moment longer, but will proceed to read the resolution which I have to propose, which is—" That this meeting, deeply sensible of the importance of ex tending the means of the highest education as widely as possible among all ranks of society, heartily con gratulates the directors of the Liverpool Institute on the establishment of their Queen's College in connec tion with the London University, and sincerely trusts that a measure so large in its aims and so • catholic in its spirit may at once_enlist in its favour the sympathies of the public, and largely command the confidence and co-operation of the class for whose advantage it was specially designed.", (Loud' applause.) The Earl of CARLISLE, in supporting -the resolu tion, declared himself to be a cordial friend of all efforts 'and all institutions which had for their object to promote the spread of .useful education and liberal accomplishments—of the knowledge which made men wise, and the acts which made them humanised and refined. (Hear, hear.) The president of the institution, his friend Mr. W. Brown, was one who had nobly practised what others thought it honour enough to preach. (Cheers.) They had read formerly of splendid public libraries established by Ptolemies or by Caesars, in the capitals of their wide-spread . empir es ; but this in stitution had been achieved by a simple citizen,. if I may so call one of our merchant princes. (Cheers.) Mr. Brown is the true Ptolemy Philadelphiis of Liverpool ; and like Mr. Astor of New -York, Mr. Brown had conferred upon his .fellow-townsmen those benefits which in former times were provided by emperors, kings, or states. (Cheers.) The resolution having been put and carried, Sir J. PAKINGTON, M.P., moved the next resolu tion, f‘ That this meeting cordially rejoices in the ;extension of general education ; and that not merely in colleges for the middle and upper classes, but in institutions and schools for the- instruction of the working population." Looking to the subject of the resolution, he felt. strongly the force of what fell from his noble and learned friend in the chair, that the cause of education now happily needed no panegyric. The days were :fairly gone by when any class of men or any individual man would desire to_ keep his fellow-countrymen and his fellow-men in darkness, and to deprive them of the inestimable blessing of -- cultivating that in tellect which is the bed blessing of the Almighty to the human race. (Applause.) His noble friend Lord John. Russell had told them with truth that he would abstain from entering into the general subject of education, • be cause now it was everywhere felt that no one stood in need of exhortation to encourage education by every means in his power ; and, above all, it was un necessary to enlarge upon the subject generally, after the manner in which it had been treated by his noble friend in. St. George's-hall on Monday night. The first words of his resolution wer e—" That this meeting rejoices in the extension of general educa tion." He was happy to say that he cordially adopted that form of words; heartily rejoiced in the extension of education. He rejoiced in the proofs of that extension which they found on every side. He was happy to say , that in almost every part of England, and especially in our great cities, like Liverpool, they found the most spirited and the most benevolent exertions for the promotion of this great and most important cause. And such was the advantage which that cause derived from those exertions—and he might appeal to the proceedings of the meeting at which they were assembled; he might appeal to the proceedings at the first meeting of the association last year at Birmingham ; he might appeal to the proceedings in London at the conference which was held under the presidency of the Prince Consort, at all of which men have come forward from all parts of the country to con tribute the results of our experience, to offer them suggestions which their ability might dictate, and to give their utmost aid in the promotion of this cause. These were not only. proofs that education had extended, but they helot out the most cheering and satisfactory hopes of future progress and con tinued success. But he ventured to hope that the British public would not be content to leave the subject where it was. No doubt the cause of education had been greatly. and generally ex tended, and hi s earnes t counsel, whenever he pre sumed to speak upon this subject—his earnest and anxious advice to those who took an interest in it was, look at both sides of the picture. Let them not be led away by the flattering representation that this cause had progressed to the extent which the requirements of the country demanded. Let them not be persuaded that they had chalked out the best mode of extending the education of the people ; let them not be de terred by self-complacency, by undue national pride, from borrowing hints and suggestions from the proceedings of other countries, whenever those proceedings were calculated to aid them in the promotion of a great national object. (Hear, hear.) The more he reflected on the question the more deeply he felt they ought to borrow aid from whatever quarter was able to give it ; and he felt convinced that we would improve by engrafting upon our own system, not the exact system of any other country, but the best part, as he had often been told, and no doubt told truly, that in no one respect, be it education or jurisprudence, was it likely that the exact systems of foreign nations would suit our habits of life and be fit to be adopted by us entirely and as a whole. But it did not follow that we might not borrow useful hints from' our neighbours ; and he believed there was no reflecting man—there was no man of judg ment or experience in public affairs, who would deliberately say that with respect to the state of our laws,•with respect.to our public health, with respect to the various other subjects which had brought them now together, and, above all, with respect to the great question of national education, that the institutions of England were what they ought to be and what we wished to see them. This was not drawing a flattering picture. It was not trying to inculcate the idea that our country. was everything she ought to be. He would rather look at—and he believed it was the wise part of those who studied the question—and dwell upon the un favourable than the favourable side of the picture. It was not by boasting of what we had, but by seriously reflecting on what we had not, by com paring other countries with our own, by looking boldly in the face of all deficiencies which existed that we could have a rational hope of raising our country to the point we should wish to see her attain. (Cheers.) Depend upon it th ere was no part of our institutions, and no subject upon which this was more strictly and literally true, than in respect to national education. Go where they would —go to the Crowded city, go to the rural districts, in spite of benevolence, in spite of efforts which did honour to those who made them, they would And, that a large portion of the population was in a state of ignorance, which is inconsistent with their welfare, and dangerona to the welfare and, prosperity of thp nation, (Cheers.) That was what they should address themselves to amend. That was the reason why they had come tO4PtlAer upon this q ues ti on t o t ry t o h e l p eac h ot h er i n th e I common cause. (Cheers.) He was sure no one would confirm him more than the distinguished men around him—no one more than the noble chair man—no one more than Lord John Russell--when he said that passing years made it more and more important, if We valued the welfare of our country, that we should cultivate the intellect of our coun trymen. (Cheers.) Depend upon it, as our institu tions became more free—as the glorious institutions of which we were so proud acquired greater free dom--as we from time to time admitted more and more of our fellow -Countrymen to the exercise of civil rights—so would it become more and more necessary that we should raise their characters, that we should raise their intellectual powers, that we should'raise their habits and power of judg ment, and make them more and more fit to exer cise the rights bestowed upon them. (Cheers.) And here let him say, talking of that which we might venture to borrow from other states, that we would do well and wisely to borrow from the avowed principle of our own noble offspring, the United States of America. (Cheers.) Why had they those educational -measures which, whether we liked them in all their details or not, were well adapted to their object, and were sound and good? Why had they those institutions—for we must not shut our eyes to the fact that they had gone ahead of England in that respect ? (Hear, hear.) It was because they had the wisdom and the _foresight to lay it down as a political axiom undeniable, that when they commenced their republican institutions, and determined to try the experiment of the freest political system the world ever saw, they felt and knew it Wouldbedangerous if not impossible , unless at the same time they raised the standard of educa tion, and cultivated the intellect. (Loud cheers.) He had been led, speaking oil this subject, on which he confessed he felt deeply, to enter further than he had intended on the first portion of the resolution ; but he could not sit down without a few passing observations and expressing a few of those ideas . which were suggested to his mind by the latter part of the Words—" That this extension of education is desirable not merely in colleges for the middle and upper classes, but in institutions and schools for the instruction of the working population." Be concurred as cordially with this latter part of the resolution as he did with the former. And herehe could not refrain, coming as he did from another part of England, from expressing that feeling which he was sure must be strong in the mind of every stranger who visited Liverpool—his feeling of gratification at the noble institutions which he saw around him. He would allude first to the building in which they were assembled, and here lie could not • avoid congratulating his noble and learned friend at being there presiding three- and twenty years after he had laid the foundation stone. There they saw him still vigorous still enlightening and delighting those whom he addressed, and presiding over an assembly in one of the most prosperous and -one of the most successful educational institutions in the whole kingdom. (Cheers.) There was another, the Collegiate Institution, of which he had heard much, and which he believed was well adapted to confer the greatest benefit on the town. But great as were the advantages conferred by these institutions, he found that the benevolent spirit of the citizens of Liverpool did not rest con tent, but was still striving to add to those advan tages. That morning he had received a deputation consisting of some of the most eminent citizens, to communicate with him upon the subject of an insti tution intended to train a large number of boys for the service of the royal navy and mercantile marine —(cheers)—a floating institution to enable those who were now in the streets, and who knew not what their fortune in life might be, to become useful citizens, and be brought up to a noble calling—the profession of the sea. (Cheers)—He was delighted to be able to aid in the establishment of institutions of that kind, and it would give him sincere pleasure on the part of the Admiralty, to give a vessel for the promotion of so excellent an institution, which he hoped would thrive and prosper, and be produc tive of allthe advantages expected fromit. He could not be 'silent upon another subject, although it had been adverted to by the noble earl near him, he meant that magnificent donation by . Mr. Brown of the free library which was rising in the town---one of the noblest acts that he had . ever known to be done by an individual. (Cheers.) He was afraid he had extended his remarks to too great a length, but that had arisen- from the fact that-he had always felt a deep interest in the education ques tion. He was deeply convinced of the extent -to which the welfare .of our country depended. upon it ; and so long as he was able to take an active part in public life, whatever situation he might hold, whatever might be his position, he should never cease to feel the deepest interest in pro moting' it. (Cheers.) Sir JAMES STEPHEN—Sir John Pakington has told you that the object of this resolution is con gratulation. We record our joy in the progress of learning, not only in colleges for the higher and middle ranks, but in institutions for the poorer people. I happen to be very much connected with colleges for the higher ranks. I have the honour to be. a professor of modern history in the Univer sity of Cambridge, and the re f ore I live in the midst of vast libraries. I associate with every variety of learned men. I am surrounded by a band of cheerful young pupils. I have all learned leisure —or leisure, at least—l will drop the epithet—to pass quietly the evening of a long life. In short, I am one who fares sumptuously every- day on intel lectual diet, and I should be a strange man indeed if I at least did not rejoice to know that he who lies at my door shoUld be fed, not with the crumbs which fall from my table, but should come and take his full share, as much as he will. (Cheers.) I raise the voice of congratulation in answer to this motion, in seconding it, because my university, of which I hope I am a very loyal subject, has re solved to send forth persons to examine all manner of school-boys of a certain age, and to confer upon them certificates which in some sense -will attach them to the University of Cambridge. Well, I rejoice, such being the decision of that learned body, that all that is passing here is of a kind to meet cordially and heartily their efforts to promote the cause of national education. One other cause of congratulation is this—self-government, social self-government, municipal self-government, na tional self-government ; these are our largest and justest boast. We are emphatically the self governing nation of the world. (Applause.) But, in addition to social and national self-government, there is another kind of self-government wanted— personal self-government (Hear, hear.) If you give a mighty people the government of everything else, and don't teach them to govern themselves, the time is not very remote when they will cease to be mighty. Sir John Pakington has had the kindness to tell us of our faults. All I have to speak of is what is welcome and agreeable. I say, then, that this self-government is the one end, purpose, and object of all education—the great power which our Creator has put within us—the power of conscience, the power of doing right or that of doing wrong, the power of living and acting up to those commands which He has placed in our bosoms ; these are the things we need and which education must give us. And let education give us that, and then—l, all my life, I think, have been somewhat liberal, somewhat consecrative ; I have been, I think, I hardly know what, but I am become a radical to the utmost ex treme—in favour of universal suffrage, vote by ballot, and everything and anything you like, if only they to whom that mighty trust is to be com mitted shall be not merely collectively but indivi dually worthy of it. (Hear, hear.) It is a sort of hymn of triumph which I have been asked to sing; I have sung it entirely hypothetically, and in every other way, that the education of which we hear so much, and of which we talk so much, shall only be that education leading to that kind of self-govern ment of which I have spoken. (Cheers.) Mr. M. MILNES, M.P.—The resolution says it is well to have educated as far as we have done the working-classes ; and the way in which you received the somewhat grave speech of my right hon. friend Sir John Pakington shows that you are desirous that that education should go further. And it is in deed, if I may be permitted to say so, an agreeable thing for a man who passes the greater part of his life in the rank and file of the House of Commons, sitting night after night with one set of men look ing others in the face, to find himself here meeting gentlemen who are there opposed, all combined with full sympathy for such a work as this. By iv side is a noble lord who proposed that a commis sion should be issued for the purpose of inquiring into' the present state of the education of the people of this country ; my noble friend proposed, and I had the honour of supporting it, and it was rejected. But a short time afterwards a proposal to issue a o commission to inquire into the present state of th e education of the country was made by righ t hon. friend Sir J. Pakington, who sits on th e other side, and then, happily, it was agreed t e o cni . Thus we see these two statesmen running together, ypoikisehtiii; one noble career for the purpose of a what I believe a very great practical good ? Be cause it will show us the position in which we TMlly are. It is most important these facts should that when th e y be substantiated, because I believe " This is a land of settled government, . A land of just and old renown, Where freedom broadens slowly down, • ' - From precedent to precedent." - Let us carry on the matter still further from thse precedents of ancient, fillies. Let us esta blish the future political and social condition of England upon this principle, narnely; that we will not, as far as is in our power, permit one single child to be born, male or female; throughout the breadth of the empire, who ,has not the means given to him to develop the intelligence with which God has endowed him, to increase by all the means in our power the development of that intelligence ; andin that faith I believe we - shall ensure the. con tinuance of the prosperity of this nation, and pre se;.ve it from that decadence which has fallen upon others; and which; if We Tail in this - duty, will per ha fall on us (Applause . .) Mr. W. COWPER also spoke in support of (the resolution, and observed that hiS right hon. friend Sir J. Pakington had alluded to the: certain amount 'Of:failure 'which had occurred in mechanics' insti tutes ; perhaps the reason why they had not suc ceeded so well as they ought was that they had been arranged on a rather pedantic footing. They had been too exclusively scholastic, and there had not been. in them that agreeable' opportunity of lonnging and being comfortable which the upper classes found their clubs. - Some people had a particular aversion to tobacco, and thought it was connected in . some way with idle, desultory, and ill conditioned habits, but he knew one of the greatest novelisti of ;the day (Sir, E: L. Bulwer) who some how or other never can write without a pipe in his mouth. (Langhter.) - It might be that if Sir E. Lytton Bulwer could not Write-without smoking, the the ordinary mechanic found it more, easy to read he had a pipe in his mouth. He would - allow unintoxicating drinks to be sold. - After some 'remarks' from Sir . J. K. SHUTTLE , WORTH, the resolution was carried. _ - Mr. W. •BROWN, M.P., moved a vote of thinks . to Lord Brougham, which was seconded by the Bishop or PENNSYLVANIA, which was carried by acclama tion, and gracefully acknowledged by the noble and learned lord. A vote of thanks to the noblemen and gentlemen visitors was next carried, which Lord J. Russell acknowledged, and the meeting then broke up. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROMOTION OP SOCIAL' SCIENCE. _ . LIVERPOOL, OCT. 14. The several sections re-assembled this morning. In the' Department of Public Health, the chie interest was in the reading of one , paper by Miss Florence Nightingale on hospital instruction, in which she pointed Qut the necessity. of selecting a healthy locality remote from towns, and of paying due . attention to the influence of right and•space. She recommended, too, that' the wards should be - larger in size_ if .smaller lillinmber than they were, in existing .tnilitary 11°9444, and that. the be i ds 4hould not be placed against dead walls. Mr. RAWLINSON eicpressed.' his concurrence in the views' of the writer. . - Dr. FENN, referred to the importance of .encou raging, &Male aid in hospitals, 'obser'ving ' where males ;only were th e attendants-and managers, the institutions . became d t iity And unlyholeaome. - Some further discusoiop, took place, in:tbe course of which Nightingale was highly .compli menttd, both' upon her piper and her exertions in alleviating the sufferings of-our sick and wounded soldiers during the Crimean war. It was understood that Miss Nightingale had requested that she might' have an opportunity of correcting her paper before it, was publi4ted in extenso. Mr. CHADWICK read an able paper "On the Application of Sanitary Science to the Protection of the Indian Army." Dr. MILROY gave testimony from his own ex periencc as to the extensive preventibility of the diseases ascribed purely to tropical climates. Mr. BRACEBRIDGE also stated illustrative •in-_ stances. Mr. P. H. - HOLLAND, in a special paper, answered the objections to water•closets, and proved that health, cleanliness, and economy were consulted by their use. He began by explaining that he thought it neces sary to refute again the , oft-refuted fallacies urged against - water-closets, because last session in this year the corporation of the important, and supposed intelligent town of Manchester had applied to Par liament to (virtually) prohibit the introduction of these essential requisities of comfort, health, and deceriey. The possible annoyance of collections of ' the filthiest of all filth close to dwellings, often under the very bedroom windows, was described as giving off offensive and poisonous emanations, caus ing many hundred unnecessary deaths, not less, Mr. Holland believes, than 1,000 a y ear . The absurdity of the objection that it was undesirable on sanitary grounds to introduce water-closets into the dwell ing-houses of the poor was exposed by the simple statement that no such thing was, proposed, or at all probable, but only to convert the existing con veniences into water-closets, which, it is evident, would be a most important improvement. Mr. Holland denied that their use occasioned.anything like the waste of water Mr. Hawkesley had said they did, namely, 60 or 80 gallons a day ; it was simply incredible to every one who had ever used a closet, and pointed out a way by which the waste might be reduced, so as never to exceed 10 gallons a day, or less if necessary or de sirable. To the objection that the introduction of water-closets would cause obstruction of the sewers, he replied that such evil had everywhere been prophesied, but had never been experienced ; on the contrary, by increasing the constancy of the flow in rivers, and preventing the deposit in them ever becoming dry and hard, they diminished the chances of stoppage. Mr. Holland next proved. that the additional pollution of rivers in such a state as that of Manchester would be an insignificant evil compared with that prtiduced by keeping the filth close to the houses, and that the cost of remov ing the ashes, rendered useless as a manure if the night soil be washed away, could only be a small additional expense, and would probably be none at all. Mr. Holland concluded by saying that the expense of these extra poison pits was far heavier than the largest possible cost of their removal. We will not, however (he added), rest the case on that issue. The health, decency, comfort, and safety of the poor (who are the mass of the population) hung on the decision. Their lives, the pains of sickness, the privations and sorrows of widowhood, the dangers of early orphanage, the agony of _berea_ve ment, are not to be put in competition with a few pence more or less of rate. The abolition , of these " admitted abominations," whether costly or profit able, must be done ; to allow their continuance, shortening the lives, embittering the existence, and -degrading the morality of our people, was a great crime before man and a sin before God. Mr. TITS, my:, believed the difficulty was a practical one. The habits of the people were against the use of water closets instead of open privies. (No, no.) His experi ence taught him that the lower classes, in crowded neighbourhoods, were apt to make the cesspool in thewater-elos instead of beneath it, and the closets were likely to get out of repair and to become exceedingly costly. Mr. CHADWICK observed that in Osso7 St. Mary a —and they cou ld not have ruder a Devonshire population.—th e syphon population soilt ion than pipes were generall y appl i ed, and the cost of keeping the closets in repair, and cleansing out stoppages, was not more than 9d. per house, while there, as else where, the substitution of the water-closet for the open privy had lengthened the average duration of human life by five years. A gentleman from Manchester , concurred with Mr. The, that in certain neighbourhoods the con sequence of introducing water-closets would be that they would be constantly out of repair, and the soilage remaining in the pipes and drains would - produce fever. - Mr. MARSHALL held, on the contrary, that it would be productive of health. In Ely the Public Health Act had been in operation for four or five years, and such a thing as a stoppage was un- Dr. FAItR considered the statement of Mr. Marshall so important that he thought it would be wise t o send a deputation to Ely to inquire into the facts and report upon them to the towns of Lancashire. The saving of life in Liverpool resulting from sani tary improvements was 3,000 a year. Several gentlemen of Liverpool and other towns bore testimony to the grateful feelings with which the poorer classes regarded the substitution of water-closets for open privies. I. 'ATILISPRIMENCE - AND AMENDMENT OF TILE LAW. This de' artinent met in the Nisi Prius Court, under the jpresidency of Lord Brow .ham ; the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, who was to have presided, not having yet arrived. It had previously been arranged that the depart ment should be occupied in the first instance with a discussion on Bankruptcy Law Amendment. :Mr. G. W. HASTIN GS , in o p en i ng th e proceed ings, said - that the - special committee on the Bank ruptcy and Insolvency Laws had met on the pre vious day, in St.. George's-hall, and had framed certain resolutiOns to be presented to the section, which he should move at the end of his remarks. Having recounted theproceedings of the committee which had been appointed last year, dnd of which he had been the chairman, Mr. Hastings went on to allude to the expenses of the present bank ruptcy courts, which were very much greater than should attach,to any court.. Above all, a court of bankruptcy- should never be an expensive court, because it was instituted for the purpose of divid ing among the creditors all the property that could be laid hold of, regard being had to justice and to the efficiency of the court. Many statements had beedmade as to the expense in bankruptcy, but it W2S impossible to give an accurate account. Unfor tunately, there was no actual and methodical record of the Qxpeuses in bankruptcy ; but certain state ments had been made which might be taken as an approximation-to-the truth, and these showed that the expenses in bankruptcy pressed. most severely on small estates. Two important questions-which sug gested themselves were—first, the question of com pensation to officers under the old act ; and, secondly, the salaries to the present officers under the recent system of bankruptcy—in both cases the officers being paid out of the funds of the court. He thought that there was no reason why the present creditors in bankruptcy should pay for annuities to officers under the old Acts. The bill proposed to provide for the trans fer of all those annuities to the Consolidated Fund, and he hoped that the department would express its opinion that such a provision should be inserted in any bill on the subject of bankruptcy brought in by Government. (Hear.) As to salaries, the Committee proposed that they should be defrayed out of the public funds, inasmuch as the Bankruptcy Court, like all other courts, was a court of adminis tration and a court of public justice. Another evil in the present State of the bankruptcy- law . WAS the small control that ,creditors were allowed to have over the mercantile portionof the bankruptcy. He was not desirous that the creditors should interfere in the judicial - portion of the-bankruptcy, which_ should be kept distinctly in the hands of a highly -- ; *id and conipetentjudge,.but\thp.ttlie mercantile part of the bankruptcy should' be, as far as:pos sible, in the hands of those interested in the dis tribution of the estate—the creditors , — Those per , sons were the most likely to look after the estate efficienctly, and to have the estate divided cheaply, rapidly-, and honestly ; and if they did not look after their own interests the consequences must recoil on their heads lathe less of the dividend which would otherwise accrue 'to them. The committee made- a feature of that in their bill, and drew a wide dis tinction between the judicial and mercantile ele ment of the administration. They proposed that en the first meeting of creditors 'after the adjudi cation had been filed the 'creditors should proceed to the election of a creditors' assignee, who should manage the whole mercantile portion of the bank rupt's estate, who might be the official assignee, and should be the sole assignee of the bankruptcy.. The committee proposed that the mode of the pay ment of the dividend, which had been complained of as dilatory and unsatisfactory, should be improved and that- they- should endeavour to diminish the ex penses in court by decreasing. the meetings of credi tors. The committee felt that there was a great want of adequate provision for the local adininistration of bankrupt law. To meet this it was proposed that after the adjudication of bankruptcy in the court upon the day of election of the creditors' assignee, the credi tors should proceed to elect whether they would take the case into the County Court, or proceed in the Bankruptcy , Court. (Hear, hear.) Having stated that the bill proposed to abolish the distinc tion between - the Insolvency and Bankruptcy- Courts, Mr. Hastings said he could not see why pro 7 fessional men and traders should be dealt with dis tinctly, no such distinction being recognised in Scotland. After explaining some other provisions of the bill, as framed by the committee (which will be best understood by the resolutions afterwards moved by Mr. Hastings), and indicating the essen tial points wherein it differed from that introduced by the Lord.Chaneellor,- he concluded by , submit ting the first resolution, which was in these terms : . " That in the opinion of this department, any measure for the amendment of the bankrupt law ought to provide the following reforms :—First, the transfer of the compen sations and salaries now charged on the estates under adju dication to the Consolidated Fund. Second, a diminution of the entire cost of the court, by a reform of the mode of administering justice therein. Third, a consolidation of the statute laws relating to bankruptcy and insolvency, under a single jurisdiction; the abolition of the distinction in the administration of the estates of insolvent traders and non traders ; and the winding-up in bankruptcy of estates of de ceased insolvents. Fourth, to give all due facilities to voluntary settlements providing for their reg istration in court. Fifth, to assimilate the proceedings in court, _a i s xt fir i, as possible, to those of a settlement out of court.. Sixth, to provide greater local facilities fur the admi n istration of justice in bankruptcy." Mr. E. HEATH said that lie had presided over the conference of the mercantile representatives at Birmingham when the 24 resolutions on which the bill of the committee was based were adopted, and he was bound to say that the committee of 9, who had prepared the bill, appeared to have most ad mirably and faithfully performed their duty. He had therefore great pleasure in seconding the reso lution. Mr. RAYNER, secretary to th e Huddersfield Cham ber of Commerce, supported the resolution,a lld ex pressed his conviction that the bill of the commit tee would be infinitely preferred by the commercial community at llndeed, he arge to that of the Lord Chancellor. thought that the latter might be dis missed from their consideration altogether. Mr. G. G .Lloyd, as one of the representatives of the Birmin gham Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Whit well, as the representative of the Bristol Chamber of CoMmerce, Mr. Lupton, President of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Darlington, of the Bradford Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Bissington, of the Trade Protection Society of the West Riding, and Mr. Lillyman, President of the Liverpool Guar dian' Society for the Protection of Trade, on behalf of the- several societies with which they are con nected, expressed their entire approval of the Bill of the committee. After some further discussion, shared in by Mr. RYLAND, of Birmingham, Mr. J OWE TT, of Leeds, and others, Lord RROUGHANI said that it was now generally admitted on all hands that nothing could be worse or more preposterous than the present mode of paying the official assignee, the consequence of which was that sometimes the emolument derived by that officer amounted to 5,000/., and at other, times to not more than 500/. Nothin g could be' more absurd than that, or more hard upon the estate. The official assignee should clearly be paid by salary and fee, a maximum being fixed beyond which he should not be entitled to anything, and a minimum below which he ought not to be allowed to go. The resolution was then carried moved unanimously,as w ere also the three following, which were by Mr. HASTINGS, and seconded; resp ectively by Mr. -LurToN, Mr. DOWN (Vice-Presi dent (V P res • ident of the
