SMILES, Ch a i rman. 142, Strand, London, W.C. /THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE. It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious Plicle of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already Its celebrity is world-wide. It h as b een a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been broutrht about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts "mcerning the food,- our wonder will cease. A few days since, gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a tLperfeet bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get 11 .. e animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some pi Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The norse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had kained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late ag,rl - shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which aeied off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor n'ajnod for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we ' ° reed to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely ';'j lin its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can ~,l i .?ceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those ~_„? have one it.

To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life with_;n Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examina tion, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases. 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.

There was many a time 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 - hang with: framework that •it shut eat that very light that it should have intro duced to some of the sciences that were taught. Id 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 sonic 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 some- cases- those lectures which were given, being upon deep Mathematieal subjects, and given t o wor ki ng men who h a d had a hard day's work, and perhaps had to leave their homes and go -through the rain to attend -the 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 of society in this country. All the subjects that belong to those important ques tions mustbe discuss*and treated of elsewhere. I am glad to hear that, ynth regard to this institu tion, no religious_difflialty has been felt, and I ask you- to applaud the catholic spirit in i•c-hiefi. proeeedinga have been conducted. - (Applause.) • I am glad to hear that lately it has been so 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 t o p ropose, which is—" That this Meeting, deeply sensible of theiniportance 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 accomplishnients—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 pu b l i c libraries established by Ptolemies or by. Caesars, 'in the capitals of their wide-spread empires ; bid this in stitution had been achieved by a simple citi zen , if I. may so call one of our merchant princes. (Cheers.) Mr. Brown is the true Ptolemy Philadelphus 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, " That this meetin , i, 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 t o th e su bj ec t o f 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 best 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 'Were—" That this meeting rejoices in the extension of general educa tion." He was happy to say that he cordially adopted that form of words ; he 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 ass embled; he might appeal to th e 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 held 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 cleat the cause of education had been greatly and generally ex tended, and his earnest 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 he de terred by self-complacency, by undue national pride, from borrowing hints and suggestions from the proceedin gs o f ot h er countries, u7henever 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 coun t r y, 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 •uur habits of life and be fit to be adopted by us entirely and as a But it did not follow that we might 'not berroiv 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 there 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 find that a large portion of the population was in a state of ignorance, which is inconsistent with their welfare, and dangerous to the welfare and prosperity of the nation. (Cheers.) That was what they Should address themselves to amend. That was the reason why they had come together upon this question to try to help each other in the 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 L or d J o h n R usse ll— w h en 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, th9t Vce should raise their intell ec t ua l powers, t h at 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 awl . good? 'Why had they those institutions—for we must not shut our eves to the fact that they had gone ahead of England in that respect ? (Hear, .hear.) It was because they had th e w i s dom and the foresight to lay it down as a political axiom undeniable, that when they commen ce d th e i r re publican institutions, and determined to try the experiment of the freest political system the world ever saw, they felt and knew it would bedang,erous, if not impossible, unless t the same time they raised the standard of educa tion, and cultivated the intellect. (Loud cheers.) He had been led, speaking on thi s suriject, on which he confessedle felt deeply, to enter further than he had intended on 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." He concurred as cordially with this latter part of the resolution as he did with the former. And here he 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 he 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 exlightening 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 ro , yal 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 all the advantages expected from it. 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 lie 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 th ere f ore I li ve i n the m id st 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 w ill d rop t h e ep i t h et—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 sh ou ld b e f e d , not w i th t h e crum b s which fall fro m my t a bl e, b ut • s h ou ld come an d take . his full sha re , as muc h as h e w ill . (Ch eers. ) I raise the voice of congratulation in answer to this motion, .in seconding it, b ecause m y un i vers ity, o f 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 Cambitidge. 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-gov ernment, mun i c i pal 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 an d na ti ona l self-government, there is another kind of self-government wanted— personal self-government. (Hear, hear.) If yeu give a mighty people the government of everything else, and don't t eac h th em to govern themselves, the time is not very remot e w h en th ey w ill cease to b e 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 conser - rative ; 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 anythin g you like, if only they to whom th a t m i g hty t rus t 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 my 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 commission to inquire into the present state of the education of the country was made by my right hon. .friend Sir J. Pakington, who sits on the other side, and then, happily, it was agreed t o . Thus we see these two statesmen running t oge th er, _ yoked fil one noble career for the purpos e of accomplishing what I believe a very great practical good ? Be cause it will show us the position in whi c h we really are. It is most important these facts should be §ubstantiated, becalm I believe that whell they Incorporated by'Act 12 and 13 Yid., cap. 83, Aug., 1819.

Solicitor—Charles Walton, Esq., 30, Bucklersbury. Batkers—London and Westminster Bank, Lothbury, London. This Company's Derricks are eminently adapted, by their great power, to accomplishing expeditiously and economically every description of hoist, whether on land or water, required in Government Arsenals and Navy Yards ; or by Dock Com panies, Shipbuilders, Engineers, Contractors, and others ; to raising sunken and recovering stranded vessels and their cargoes. _ _ 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 between 25 and 75 per cent. The Company have entered into an agreement with the Marine Insurance Companies, and Underwriters of • London and Liverpool, which secures to the former 75 per cent. 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 steamets.• 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 their friends htave taken and paid up in full, shares to the extent of £-10,000 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 foll9ws - £lO per Share on Application ; and the remainder by Calls of £lO each, at intervals of one Month between each Call. Forms of Application for Shares, and Prospectuses, may be obtained by applying to the Secretary, G. J. SHARP, Esq., at the Offices of the Patent Derrick Company, 27, Cornhill, London, E.C. 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. Ido 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 arc apt to be impatient, and to say that we are not going fast enough. And they 6 o 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 inide 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. Now, this no doubt is wrong—this is to be lamented, because it is discouraging in every way. It dis courages their hdpes 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, or of any other part of the constituted authorities that take part in directing the 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 cherishing of the best feelings of the heart. (Hear, and cheers.) We may well say with a great poet 4 ' 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 JOIIN 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 syst ems o f education. There were too many of them, like that old house which is de scribed in poetry, with windows to shut out the U~ extenso. • iii 7 -7 Z 4 6 \I PRICE 4• D• STAMPED, SD. and the he ar t to act upon are we have got the spi;rii them. You know in the old times, when religion unfortunately was of a bigoled character, that t o hang up a heretic and to burn him alive w as called an act of faith; an auto da fe a different charac ter is that which we are ready to celebrate. Let us celebrate that great act of faith which consists in believing that the people of this country, however educated, the more and the more educated, will contribute to the honour of the 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 religions 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 w e will trust to knowledge and truth wherever they may lead us.' A poet has said— " 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 these precedents of ancient times. Let us esta blish the future political and social conation of England upon this principle, namely, that 'we will not, as far 'asis 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 ; and in that faith I believe we shall ensure the con tinuance of the prosperity of this nation, and pre serve it from that decadence which has fallen upon others, and which, if we fail in this d u t,-. w ill haps fall on us also. (Applause.) Mr. W. COWPETt 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 excl us i ve ly sc h o l as ti c , and there had not been in theM th a t agreeable opportunity or lounging and being comfortable which the upper classes found in 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 novelists of the day (Sir E. L. Buiwer) who some how or other never can write without a pipe in his mouth. (Laughter.) It might be that if Sir E. Lytton Bulwer could not write without smoking, the ordinary mechanic found it more easy to read if he had a pipe in his mouth. He would allow unintoxicating drinks to be sold. • After some remarks from Sir J. K. SHUTTLR•• WORTH, the resolution was carried. Mr. W. BROWN, M.P., moved a vote of thrnks to Lord Brougha,m, - which was seconded by the Bishop of 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. R usse ll acknowledged, and the meeting, then bloke NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SCIENCE. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 14. The several sections re-assembled this morning. In the Department of Public Health, the chic interest was in the reading of one paper by Miss Florence Nightingale on hospital instruction, in which she pointed out the necessity of selecting a healthy locality remote from towns, and of paying due attention to the influence of light and space. She recommended, too, that the wards should be larger in size if smaller in number than they were in existing military hospitals, and that the bed s should not be placed against dead walls. Mr. RAWLINSON expressed his concurrence in the views of the writer. Dr. FENN referred to the importance of encou raging female aid in hospitals, observing that, where males only were the attendants and managers, the institutions became dirty and unwholesome. Some further discussion took place, in the course of which Miss Nightingale was highly compli mented, both upon her paper and her exertions in alleviating the sufferings of our sick and wounded solfliers 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 published. in Mr. CHADWICK read an able paper "On the Application of Sanitary Science to the Protection of the Indian Army." Dr. MILROY ga‘ - 'e testimony from his own ex perience 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, answe re d 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 decency. The possible annoyance of collections of the filthiest of all filth close to dwellings, often under the very bedroom wind ows , was described as giving off offensive and poisonous emanations, caus ing many hundred unnecessary deaths, not less, Mr. Holland believes, than 1,000 a year. The absurdity of the objectioit 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 anythinn. like the waste of water Mr. Hawkesley had saia 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 sewer her rclille:1 that., ..,uch 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 produced 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 widowhood, the the privations and sorrows of great on the decision.

A gentleman from Manchester concurred with Mr. 'rite, that in certain neighbourhoods the con sequence of introducing water-closets would bis, 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- NEWSPAPER ~....M. _ !,pipP4t,Ao / . i'' , _ • ‘,..,.,.., _.--,1......,,,0 ,ez known.

The result in Ely lad been to reduce the mortality from 26 to 17. Mr. ROBINSON said 50,000 water-closets now in - use had been introduced under his superintendence, and he had never known instances of failure ex cept in eases where the governing body declared their opinion that they would not answer. When • the governi ng b ody h i d faith in the change it in, . variably succeeded, and there was not the slightest difficulty. He spoke of the common earthenware soil pipe, with syphon trap, which were far more effective than the more expensive closets with the D trap. He denied the statement that the soil pipe and syphon could not be safely introduced in closets inside as well as outside the house. In pri sons they were used in cells 10 feet by 7, and never got out of repair, nor was there the.sliihtest nui sance arising from them. lie referred also to the beneficial effects in Carlisle, Aln wick, _and else where from the improvements in this respect which had been introduced.. Dr. FARR considered the statement of Mr. Marshall so important that he thought it would be wise to 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 whi c h the poorer classes regarded the substitution of water-closets for open privies. I. lI_TRISi'ItTIDENCE AND AMENDMENT OF THE LAW. This department 'met in the Nisi Prius Court, und.er tho liwpsideney of Lord Bro-_‘.glia.m ; the Lord • who .was to have presided, .not.; having yet arrived. It had previously been arranged that the depart nic nt should be occupied in the first instance with a. discussion on Bankruptcy Law Amendment. Mr. G. W. HASTINGS, in - opening the proceed ings, said that the special committee on - Lie 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 the proceedings of the committee which had been appointed last year, and 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 been made as to the expense in bankruptcy, but it was impossible to give art accurate account. Unfor tunately, there was no actual and methodical record-- .of the Qxpenses in bankruptcy ; but certain state molts 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 coin liensation 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 credit ors were allowed to have over the mercantile portion of the bankruptcy, lie 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- Raid and competent judge, but that the 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 in the loss 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 7 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 administration of bankrupt law. To meet this it was proposed that after the adjudication of bankruptcy in t he court upon the day of election of the ercditors' 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 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 Chancellor, he concluded by . submit tmg the fir s t reso l u ti on, w hi ch 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, b 7 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 o non , trade-c ; and the winding-up in bankruptcy of e l atr litic f s d to ceased insolvents. Fourth, to give all due evooulurtn.tari:ifstehtt7lteomaesnstismiphrttoeviidhiengprofeocrothotheir .regclosa-tusteria,tiaosnfiiinr toas p p ro os i s i ib de le, gre to at r l s o e ci f settlement cities for tng the aosdf,:c:( administration justice in bankruptcy." Mr. E. HEATH said that he 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 the Huddersfield Cham ber of Commerce, supported the resolution, and ex pressed his conviction that the bill of the commit tee would be infinitely preferred by the commercial community at large to that of the lord Chancellor. Indeed, he thought that the , latter might: be dis missed from their consideration altogether. Mr. G. G. Lloyd, - as one of the representatives of the Birmingham Chamber of Comnierce,kr. 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 Itiding, 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. JOWETT, of Leeds, and others, ach io n j it i Lord • ted ß o n i o l trrt a G llb AL d s s ai t d that batnotitiwrigasenouord- gen eral,lsye or more preposterous than the pen paving the official assignee, the i c T o s nse t qu m en od of paving of f ,umanednt at t de e r t izd r by- which t lv officeras that Nothing could be e rd l u v pon the . times to not more than amounted 5 1. 0 O ot e .
