BURROWS and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow ledged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun tries, as the increasing patronapatronage of the _highest families in the land Is a sufficient guarantee. They beg to call particular attention to their pure Tonic Wines, as being so valuable to Invalids and persons of weak stomachs. _ _ _ . A sample case, containing three full-sized win• bottles, will be forwarded to any address ou receipt of P. 0.0. for 61. 6d., or a dozen for 245.

Advice to the Working Classes, lee hall-a-Guinea. the trebly distilled mediumnow in use. At present the ratepayers elected the vestry, the vestry elected the local board, and the local board elected the gentlemen who were to sit at the Metropolitan Board of Works. These gentlemen had most im portant duties to discharge and ought to be elected by those who paid the taxes whtch they imposed, not by a new-fangled plan unknown to our ancestors and to the parochial system of the coun try. (Hear, hear.) He hoped the sentiments he had expressed were in harmony with those of his constituents, and in conclusion he begged to state that if cn the introduction of the Reform Bill auy question arose on which it was difficult to arrive at a conclusion, he—and he was sure Mr. Angerstein also—would come before the constituency with the view of learning their wishes, so that if possible there might be harmony of opinion between them. (Cheers.) Mr. MASLIN put some questions to the hon. member with reference to the Metropolitan Board of Works which he strongly condemned ; the operation of the Poor Law ; and the conduct of the gas companies, to which Mr. Salomons gave satis factory replies. The following resolutions were than put to the meeting and carried unanimously. "That this meeting reviewing with satisfaction the con duct of Mr. Alder man Salonionsduring the past session of Parliament. desires to express its sense of the efficient manner in which he has discharged his duties as one of the representatives of the borough." "That the meeting anticipating the many important measures likely to be considered in the approaching session of Parliament would express its perkct confidence in Mr. Alderman Salomons a member for the borough at this juncture of political affairs." Mr. SALOMONS thanked the meeting for the con fidence they had thus reposed in him, and moved a vote - of thanks to the chairman, who in reply answered some of the charges brought by Mr. Muslin against the Metropolitan Board of Works. The proceedings then terminated. THE MEMBERS FOR GLASGOW AND THEIR CONSTITUENTS. Messrs. Buchanan and Dalglish, the representa tives of the city of Glasgow, addressed their con stituents in the City-hall on Wednesday evening, the Lord Provost presiding. Mr. DALGLIBII, on coming forward, was received with cheering. He said,—With regard to the last session, it was a very short one. Almost the only matter of importance done was the turning out of one Ministry, and the forming of another. There were some measures passed, and the reason that so few measures were brought forward was evidently the necessary shortness of the session. The coming session is called at an earlier period than usual by about a week. I presume, therefore, that the Mi nistry have determined to make it a truly working session, and that we shall have a great many im portant questions brought before us, and perhaps the most important of all—the great question of Parliamentary Reform. Not having been admitted behind the scenes, I can give you no account of - what is likely to be brought forward in the shape of a Reform Bill ; but I do trust that, since Lord John Russell has had great experience in making Re form Bills, and as he has before him the very re cent experience of the Reform Bill introduced by Lord Derby's Ministry—l do trust that the Re form Bill lie will bring forward will be one, not certainly likely to satisfy all the inhabitants of the empire, but which will set the question of reform at rest for a considerable time. I trust that it will be a liberal and enlightened measure of re form, that it will be free from the defects of the Reform Bill of the late Ministry, that it will sweep away a great many of what we call rotten bo roughs, that it will amalgamate others, and group them so as to give a great number of voters to each constituency, and thereby prove to some extent a redistribution of electoral districts. I trust, also, that the Reform Bill will contain some provision for the prevention of bribery and corruption. (Ap plause.) I am sure you must all have felt disgusted with the recent investigation into the cases of bribery which took place at the last election. I myself do not see very well how this is to be pre vented, unless we have the ballot, or, failing the ballot, that we have it made a penal offence to bribe any voter at an election. (Hear.) Gentlemen, while expressing my hopes that the Reform Bill shall be something satisfactory to the great body of the country, I at the same time must beg you to bear in mind that Parliamentary Reform has lung been tho stock-in-trade or the Whigs—that it has always been their stand-by when they were out of office, but when they were in they ceased to be such good Reformers. (Hear, hear.) I therefore think they are not likely to spend their whole stock-in-trade in their present efforts, but leave a little to stand by if they should unfortunately be again turned out of office. (Laughter.) Since, I may say, we were returned to Parliament very great events have taken place in Europe. We have had the Emperor of the French making war against Austria on tho ground that he wished to see the Italians freed from the domination of Austria in Lombardy, and per haps also with the view to free them from the domi nation of the Dukes in the States. We know that he marched the French army into Italy, and that they fought various successful battles—battles cele brated for the importance of their results and the gallantry of the soldiers engaged upon both sides. The French were no doubt successful in these bat tles ; and we saw the peace at Villafranca concluded, but that peace unfortunately did not appear to the lovers of Italian liberty likely to lead towards Italian freedom. Whether that peace was brought about by the fact that the Italians had set them selves free in the meantime, and that constitutional liberty was coming too near to the French soldiers, I know not; but still it is true that th 3 peace of Villafranca was concluded. We had then the meet ing at Zurich, and we have since had a violent ex citement in France against England. While I was in Spain I saw there symptoms of the feeling of the French and Spaniards being hostile to Eng land, and every letter I received from England told me there was a violent excitement in France. But on a sudden this was entirely changed. A new order went out from head-quarters, the papers that had been most violent were admonished, and when I arrived at Oporto in the middle of De cember 1 found there that the people who I believed, and had reason to believe, were furious against Eng land a month before, were now all in love with the English race. Now, gentlemen, when the peace of Europe is so changed by the simple stroke of the pen of one man, I hold that it will be dangerous for us to trust in the continuance of that peace. (Cheers.) But while I say that we should not have confidence -in the preservation of peace, I have no wish what ever that we should go to war. All that I wish is that we should not relax in our endeavours to place the country in the best possible state of defence. (Applause.) And to place this country in a state of defence it will be necessary that we also make up our minds to pay the taxes necessary for that pur pose. (A laugh.) It will not do for you to expect Mr. Buchanan and myself to represent you in Par liament, and to be economical in the extreme. We have a great duty to perform, and a duty which, I believe, you will admire us for performing—it is to see this country placed in a proper state of defence. (Loud cheering.) Then, with regard to how that is to be done. There are proposals—l cannot give you any history exactly of what the proposal is—but there is a proposal to expend £10,000,000 in the defence of our coasts. If that is to be frittered away in putting up batteries similar to the one near Gou rock—(laughter)—l think the money might as well be thrown into the sea. (Hear, and applause.) If, on the other hand, that sum of money is required to defend our great naval arsenals—and I believe that it may be necessary—it should be freely granted. Then comes the question of our navy. We are enlarging our' nevy. The Government of Lord Derby first called the attention of the country to the deplorable state of the navy. Sir John Faking ton made great exertions to improve and increase it, and I am glad to say that his successors in office seem to have proceeded in the same course. It must be gratifying to us all to see every day—at least very frequently—a notice of the launch of some large vessel of war, proving that steps are taking to make our navy as strong as we possibly can in a given period of time. lam glad also to be able to inform you, on what I believe to be very good authority, that the Admiralty never felt them selves more comfortable than at the present mo ment in respect of what has always been the great difficulty with our navy—the supply of seamen. I have reason to believe, from a letter which 1 have received within the fast few days, that we are in an admirable position in that respect—that the large number of vessels that we have recently had employed has produced, in consequence of the ne cessary evolutions and practice, a very large body of admirable seamen. It is vei y well for us, then, to know that such is the fact ; and I can assure you of another thing, and I think it right to do so— that we have now a Secretary to our Admiralty, one not only of our most intelligent members of the House of Commons, but also one of the very best officers in the naval service—l allude to Admiral Lord Clarence Paget. (Applause.) I should have been more pleased had his lordship been at the PRICE 4D • STAMPED, 5D head of the Admiralty, instead of only the Secre tary, because I well remember, and I am sure my friend Mr. Buchanan does so also, that in the ses sion previously to the last he made one of the very best speeches :which has ever been made in the House of Commons upon the subject of dockyards and ship building. He proved from informa tion, not got from the dockyards, but collated by himself, that an immense amount of money was thrown away annually in our dockyards, and now that he is in power I have great confidence that he will carry the reforms into our dockyards which he pointed out when he was out of office. (Hear, hear, and applause) Gentlemen, we shall, besides our navy, have to consider an increase, perhaps, in our army. There is, I think, a very proper feeling in England against a large standing army. I con fess that I hold that opinion. I should not like to see our army made anything• like proportionate to the armies of continental States with a similar amount of population ; therefore I should be chary in giving my consent to any grant of money for appropriation to an increase of our army at home. But we have now an excellent subsidiary force in our gallant volunteers. (Cheers.) I be lieve that to be the true force of England, and that it will be the best force that England ever can have for repelling any invasion. These volunteers being volunteers, cannot be sent abroad ; conse quently we have the advantage of raising a very large force to defend our own shore, while we have not the disadvantage of raising a large army which may be applicable to aggression upon our neigh bours, I, therefore, stand altogether for the volun teers. (Cheers.) But, gentlemen, in alluding to the volunteers, I must express my sincere regret that, although Glasgow has done well, she has not done bettor. I do not feel that We should be satisfied with 4,000 or 5,000 riflemen in the city of Glasgow. I think that if in 1819 the city turned out a regi ment of 800 or 1,000 strong, taking the same class now, we should turn out not only from 4,000 to 5,000, but beyond that, from 10,000 to 15,000 ar tisans. (Applause.) The artisans are the best mate rial possible for soldiers. (Cheers.) There are some old ladies who say—" But would you trust the working classes ? Would you arm the working classes ?" I say by all means let us arm the working classes. (Applause.) Ido not propose that every man that comes forward should be supplied with a suit of uniform and arms; but I think among the working classes you can, at all events, pick out 10,000 or 15,000 men or irreproachable character— men whom their employers can vouch for as being honest, industrious, steady men ; I say, let us supply accoutrements to these men, and by all means arm them. (Cheers.) Now comes the question of supplying the accoutrements. There are in this city a great many excellent people—elderly people, stout people, people that won't make good riflemen —(laughter)—but these gentlemen have another quality which will render them exceedingly advan tageous in the present movement. Those elderly gentlemen to whom I have alluded have generally stoat purses as well as stout bodies. (Cheers and laughter.) What I wish to see is, that the men who are not able to join the corps should be the men to pay. (Loud applause.) They have the greatest amount of property to defend. If it ever come, as I believe it never will come, to the fact of a French invasion being attempted, those would be the very men that, in their agony of fear, would give their thousands and tens of thousands for safety. (Great applause.) Let them come forward now. We have raised a fund of £40,000 for the wounded in. the Crimea, we have raised a fund of £17,000 for the sufferers by the Indian rebellion ; but now, when this great national movement is going on, I am ashamed to look at the paltry list of subscriptions. (Hear, ani applause.) Mr. BUCHANAN then came forward, and was very warmly received. He said—lt is needless for me to occupy your time in the discussion of theoretical measures of reform. Whatever value may belong to the views of those who advocate a still greater reduction of the franchise, the shortening of Parlia ments, or the adoption of the ballot, I believe these objects are not at present attainable, and it is for practical men to say whether they will accept what is in their power, or vainly struggle after what is unattainable. It may be, that after many years of contest and confusion, after the breaking up of poli tical parties and the downfall of various Govern ments, and, what is of more importance, the stop page of public business and of the whole machinery of legislation, what is called a Bill might De e.erioa But even if that were cer tain, which it by means is, it would be paying too high a price for any advantages to be derived from such a measure if we have to stop for years the busi ness of the country. (Hear.) It ought also to be recollected that even if Lord J. Russell's measure should be accepted, it would not preclude the ad vocates of ballot or triennial Parliaments pressing their favourite measures on any convenient oppor tunity. What I would urge is the acceptance of a fair and moderate measure of reform, so that the matter may for some time be set at rest, and the business of the country be allowed to proceed with out the interruption of Parliamentary contests and Ministerial crises. Several questions haviag been put to the hon. gentlemen, to which they gave answers, a vote of thanks to them was agreed to, and the meeting separated. BURGLARY AND ATTEMPTED MUI?DER. At the Town-hall, Ledbury, on Wednesday, be fore Lord Bolton, the Rev. E. NVyvill, and the Rev. R. Wood, Michael O'Bryan was charged with hav ing, on the Ist of January last, burglariously entered the dwelling-house of the Rev. John Winn, at Nappa, near Askrigg, and with having stolen there from a sum of money, a coat, and other articles, and with intent to murder the said gentleman. The prisoner is below the middle stature, and of a stolid and heavy cast of features ; he is an Irishman, and 35 years of age. A large number of persons assem bled in the hall to hear his examination. The Rev. John Winn deposed—l am vicar of the parish of Aysgarth, and reside at Nappa, near Ask rigg. I remember the Ist of January instant. About three o'clock in the morning my servant boy got up, and I heard him calling out" Get up, get up; there is somebody in the house." He then came to my room door and made the same announcement. I arose instantly and walked along the passage to the stairs, and called out, " Who's there !" I heard con siderable noise in the front kitchen, as if caused by chairs being moved about. I then returned to my room, and shortly afterwards heard them coming up stairs in heavy shoes, making a great noise. Oppo site my room door and on the other side of the pas sage there is a small dark lumber room. I moved in there, leaving my own room door open, and shut the door. The burglars passed the door and went into the room where the servant boy slept, which is at the other end of the passage. I could not see them pass and c innot say how many men there were, but I heard them. They remained there a short time, and then came to the room where I was. They pushed the door open, and I stood in the door way. Two men presented themselves, and instan taneously one of them struck me with a hay spade. One of them had a dark lantern, and I distinctly saw he had a spade before I received the blow upon my head. A second blow was attempted, but I warded it off with my arm, and the spade hit the top part of the door posts. Blood was flowing pretty freely from my head and running down my face when I stepped forward and seized the spade ; the taller man had the spade. The light then dis appeared. The other man then made an attack on me with his fists while I was holding the spade. I struggled with the taller man about 15 or 20 minutes ; he attempting to wrest the spade from my hand and I retaining my hold of it. During this time I called out to the servants to bring me a light, but none came, and the lesser man discon tinued using his fists. I said there was no necessity to use violence, and I would give up the money I had to him. We were still wrestling for possession of . the spade, when the man cried out, "'Liver up ; up ; or I'll give you the knife ; here it is." The lesser man cried out, " Give the money ; give the money." I continued my attempt to wrest the . spade from his hands, and when we got to the_ en d of the passage I twisted the spade round d ed it into my possession. Then the taller m m an y an me by the thighs, threw ma down back, g and both men trampled upon me. The .ed me half then seized me by the legs and rag, _ the spade down to d on lesser man way down the stairs. threw got possession of , it.h the bottom n o o of the orel got from them somehow on the staircase, and got back to man followed. of stairsthe taller w h e n m j a n . my room ; and the lesser I opened a drawer, and handed over t he amount of £23 to the man, who repe ated, " Be quick, be quick." Mr. Winn then detailed the loss of som e t r ifli ng articles, and con tinued—lheard a crash th roug h th e s taircase w indo w, which I aft erwar d s f oun d was broken suffic iently large for a man to go through. After this I saw nothing more of the two men, b ut I dressed my se lf an d ro d e t o A s k r i g g, and gave information to the police. I went to Mr. Park, surgeon, and had my head dressed, and I have JUST PUBLISHED. THE STEP-MOTHER ; or, Will She be a Nun. By FLORENCE. Crown Bvo, cloth, ss. (post free).

Salomons, M.P., met his constituents in the Lecture•room, Deptford, to give au account of his Parliamentary conduct, and to confer with them on the state of public affairs. The room was crowded in every part, and on the platform were several of Mr. Salomons' leading supporters and friends. Mr. L. Taylor was called to the chair, and intro duced the hon. gentleman to the meeting. Mr. SALOMONS, having expressed the gratifica tion which he felt at- meeting so many of his con stituents, said, the report which every member of Parliament had to make of the amount of business done during the last session might almost, be sum med up in the little word nil. They did something towards the national defences, and increased for that purpose the income-tax, but they did little more. The men in the'dockyards had been kept well employed, and we had now as fine a fleet as ever sailed ; but no one, he was sure, grudged the heavy taxation which rad been imposed when it was known that it went to maintain the national honour. Another session of Parliament was now at hand, which would probably be the busiest we had seen for many years, and it was desirable that members representing large constituencies should take every opportunity of conferring with them on public questions. He would very briefly allude to three topics—foreign affairs, home affairs, and local affairs. As to foreign questions, he might observe that Europe was at this moment in a pecu• liar position. They had seen an unexpected war break out in Italy, from which this country had the good sense to stand aloof. (Cheers.) They had also seen an unexpected peace, and were surprised to find that, after a vast expenditure of money and a great waste of human life, the affairs of Italy seemed to be left in a state of greater embarrassment than they wore before the war. (Hear.) The great and powerful empire of France played an important and distinguished part in that war, and it was impossi ble not to admire the bravery of her troops, but it was, after all, difficult to see what great and wise object had been gained by it. (Hear, hear.) He was not one of those who thought that this country ought at all times to stand aloof from Con tinental politics. It was neither consistent with the interests nor would it be agreeable to the wishes of the great majority of the people of this country that we should conduct ourselves in regard to foreign affairs merely as weavers of calico and makers of iron, and be utterly indifferent to all that concerned other nations. (Hear, hear.) He thought we might interfere on many occasions by advice and counsel, and, accordingly, it was his opinion that if a European Congress was to be held this country should not stand aloof from it, but should take part in it, with the view, if possible, of bringing about a peaceable solution of the perplexities of Italy. (Hear.) At the same time, looking at the peculiar position of the Papacy, and considering that the sympathies of a large portion of the people of this country were with the Papacy, he thought it was desirable that we should as far as possible abstain from any interference with a question like that. (Hear, hear.) It was not desirable to do anything that would. excite religious antagonism, or to lead any portion of our fellow subjects to think that we were acting with unnecessary harshness upon a ques- tion in which it was really unnecessary for us to interfere. (Hear, hear.) If, however, the Catho lic Powers of Europe asked us to join them in de liberating upon the existing state of affairs in Italy it would unquestionably be our duty to do so, and to endeavour to bring them to a harmonious con clusion. He deprecated foreign intervention in the affairs of other nations such as they had too often witnessed ; but if we were able by our counsels, by co-operation with France or any other Power, to produce some new combinations by which Italy might be set free, we should act wisely in doing so. (Hear, hear.) There was no other foreign question of any importance except the hositilities with China. They could not but regret the war with that ancient empire ; and he thought that the unhappy affair of the Peiho might kave been avoided had there been a little more sagacity and forbearance shown by our ambassador. He would say nothing of the course taken by the Admiral, who undoubtedly had shown very great gallantry. When this question came be fore Parliament, as no doubt it would, he should feel himself obliged to vote in favour of those hostilities which the Government had advised the Queen to commence. (Hoar.) With regard to the rifle volunteer movement, he thought that whatever !night have been the cause of it was of very little moment. The experience we had acquired in the Crimea and what had occurred in the late Italian war led us to consider our position and in what our defences ought to be. The policy of this country was peace, and, above all, it was our interest to be at peace with France. We ought rather to be ex changing commercial products with that country than exchanging threats and blows, and they would all be glad to see that the French Emperor had de clared in favour of a policy which was likely to pro mote the trade of both countries. (Hear.) If he succeeded in establishing that policy he would be considered not only a great Sovereign but a great benefactor to mankind, and would do much to give men confidence in the peace of the world. (Hoar.) At the same time, experience had taught us the ne cessity of looking to our defences ; and the first and foremost of those was the navy. General Codring ton, he remembered, once said that they ought to look upon the Channel as the ditch of a fortifica tion, and if they took care to have the ditch well defended no enemy could come near us. (Hear.) He trusted, therefore, they would always have a fleet powerful enough to guard the Channel, but that should not prevent them having also their rifle corps. As Germany had its landwehr and America its militia—where every second or third man was a captain or colonel—(a laugh)--so we should have our rifle corps. This would not make us more war like, but it would make us more confident when we knew that we were always ready to defend our homes and our firesides. (Hear, hear.) The rifle movement was essentially a peace movement, and he was sure Parliament would be ready to give it the fullest recognition. He was afraid that our national defences would have the effect of running up a considerable bill ; but our trade was good, employment was increasing, and nobody would grudge the expense. On the subject of home affairs he would first mention church-rates. He had already voted, and would again vote for Sir J. Trelawny's Bill, believing that it would be for the interest of the church itself to have those rates abolished. Ho had also voted for the ballot and would do so again whenever the opportunity occurred. On the question of the Reform Bill Ministers had kept very close. There were no whispers, and members of the Cabinet could not be got to talk about it. He believed, however, that Lord John Russell would not bring forward any bill that would not greatly enlarge the franchise and redistribute seats, probably annulling some of the very small boroughs. There would probably be a great struggle between the Liberal and Con servative parties on some points. The former would endeavour to extend the franchise as much as possible, and the latter to prevent it. It would be a matter very much to be deplored if the Reform Bill were again checkmated, and he believed it would cause great disappointment among the work ing classes. Whether the franchise would be lowered to £6, £7, or .£B, he did not know, but he trusted that a good bill would be passed, and that Lord J. Russell would take care to insert many of the smaller boroughs in Schedule A. He thought it desirable to take what they could get in the way of reform, and he thought the moderate men of all parties would agree in thinking that a bill of some sort should be passed this year. (Hear.) Ile would not be disposed to vote for a mere sham, but he hoped an improved bill would be passed, such as would save the country from the scandals that had occurred at Wakefield and Gloucester. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman then referred to local affairs, referring in the first place to the non-rating of the Government establishments, an evil which was strongly felt in the borough of Greenwich. No doubt the Government manufactories carried on there were a great advantage to the district ; but what would they say if such men as Penn and Maudslay were to establish great works in a dis trict, and then plead exemption from rates on the ground that they conferred great benefits on it by employing the people? (Hear, hear.) He would endeavour to correct this evil, and would support any bill that was brought in for the purpose. The next local matter to which he would rarer was that of the Metropolitan Board of Works. This body meant to promote a bill in Parliament for extending their powers, and he believed it was intended to apply, among other things, for the removal of the coal-tax. The Board would have the power of taxing the inhabitants of the metropolis to an enormous extent, and would be able to send their own c')llectors for that pur pose to all parts of London. He had nothing to say against the members of the Metropolitan Board of Works, of whom their chairman was one, but he contended that a body which had the power of tax ing the people to so great an extent ought to be elected directly by the rate-payers, and not through not been able to perform any dut y since. Witneee then identified as hi s property ashirt, which was marked with blood; a coat, and a hay spade. The latter was an old instrument, and apparently had been used for digging, or had been stuck• in the earth, but was still a very formidable weapon. When the man spoke of the knife, Mr. Winn seized somethigg which the man had in his hand. which he (Mr. Winn) supposed to be a - razor, as it left a slight cut ea his hand such as might be produced by the blade of a razor being pressed through the sides. At the termination of the examination the bench committed the prisoner for trial at the York assizt s. 211 E NAVY. Rear-Admiral Sir Alex.

The Castor will be stationed off Greenhithe. Mr. Taylor, commanding her Majesty's ship Fire fly, in basin at Woolwich, under orders to relieve the Tartarus, Commander Mansell, at Malta, yes terday received a despatch from the French Go vernment requesting him to present the Imperial bounty of 16 guineas, in equal proportions, to the eight men of his ship who so courageously put off in the ship's cutter, and succeeded in rescuing the lives of the crew belonging to the French schooner La Blanche Marie, wrecked in the fearful gale on the night of the 25th of October, 1859, in the Guernsey Roads.

From the returns compiled by Major-Gen. C. C. Hay, the Inspector-Gen. of Musketry, from the whole of the corps in the service of her Majesty, and presented to the Duke of Cambridge, the satis factory result has been again elicited that the corps of Royal Engineers maintains the high position of being the most skilful marksmen with the rifle of any branch of the British army. The Duke of Cambridge, who is Colonel of the Royal Engineers, has expressed himself much pleased at the high po sition attained by the men of that branch of the service, and a notification has been received at Chat ham from his Royal Highness expressing his grati fication in finding that the Ist and 17th companies of Royal Engineers, both of which are now at Malta, have attained the highest figures of merit in rifle instruction of the whole of the British army who practised during the last year. His Royal High ness also announces the pleasure he feels on finding that two of the companies of Royal Engineers— the 2d and 24th, both at Gibraltar—have obtained the second figure of merit, and compliments the whole of the instructors of the corps on the posi tion obtained for the Royal Engineers, and for their exertions in raising the figure of merit so high for the corps.
