To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life within Life," and its advantages in detecting', by urinary examina tion, the cause and effect of everyvariety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cages BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., . 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, griTeulated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &e., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain Wilts : 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 m ay 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.

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 subject 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, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for 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 opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. NO MORE PILLS NOR ANY OTHER MEDICINE.

BANQUET AT FISHMONGERS HALL Last night the usual Mic.haelmas banquet took place in the hall of the Fishmongers' Company at London-bridge. Invitations had been sent to the members of the new Council for India, and the presence of several members of that body, including Lord Stanley, the President, Lieut.- Colonel Sir 11. Rawlinson, K.C.8., Sir li. Montgomery, Captain Eastwick, Mr. R. Mangles, M.P., and Mr. A. Ar buthnot, gave unusal eclat to the assembly. Among. the general visitors were the Count de Montebello, Lieutenant- Colonel Donnelly, Captain Bedford Pim, R.N., Captain Collinson, R.N., Mr. George Mathew (late her Britannic Majesty's Consul-General at Odessa), Mr. J. R. Crowe, Professor Cape, Dr. King, Me4srs. James Murray, Joseph Leschir, Edward Welch, G. Frederick, F. Hodges, Her bert L. Smith, and Travers. An excellent dinner was pro vided by Messrs. Ring and Brymer, and the arrangements, under the direction of Mr. W. B. Towse, the clerk to the company, were in every respect admirable. The Prime Warden (Mr. T. Boddington) occupied the chair. After the cloth was drawnthe PRIME WARDEN gave the usual loyal toasts, which were honoured with the utmost enthusiasm. The PRIME WARDEN then proposed " the Army and Navy," and in doing so paid a just tribute to the valour, intrepidity, and forbearance displayed by our troops in India. He coupled with the army the name of Sir H. RaWlinson, whose services in India, as he observed, were well known ; and with the navy the names of Captains Collinson and Pim, both of whom had distinguished them selves in the search for Sir J. Franklin, during which ex pedition the young Frenchman ? Lieutenant Bellot—upon whom the Prime Warden pronounced a well-deserved eulogy—unfortunately lost his life. Captain Pim, as the Prime Warden observed, had also been severely wounded at the capture of Canton. Sir 11. Itawi.msorr, in returning thanks for the army, expressed his satisfaction that the distinction which was formerly maintained between the army of the East India Company and that of the English Crown no longer existed. Thanks in a great measure to the exertions of the noble lord the President of the Council for India (Lord Stanley) every officer who wore a red coat, whether serving in India, in England, or in any other part of the world, now enjoyed the privilege of belonging to her Majesty's army. He as.; sured the company that, although the services of the army were warmly and deservedly appreciated, they were by no means covetous of active service ; and that by no class of men than soldiers were the advantages and blessings of peace more highly appreciated. (Cheers.) - Captain COLLINSON, in returning thanks for the navy, paid a tribute of respect to the skill and undaunted courage displayed by the late Sir W. Peel in the organisation and command of the naval brigade, which had rendered such valuable services in the Crimea and in India. He also eulogised the services of Captain Thornton Bate, who had assisted him in the survey of the Chinese waters, and who was recently killed at Canton. The PRIME WARDEN said, the toast he had now the honour to propose related to a subject of all others of the greatest interest and importance at the present time—our position and our prospects in India. We were honoured with the presence of several members of that Council which had been appointed for the administration of our affairs in that empire. When they considered the talent, the local knowledge, the practical experience possessed by the members of the various sections into which it was divided, they could not but feel every confidence and assur ance that the result would be propitious to our safety and to our success. They were particularly gratified in being honoured with the presence of the noble President of that Council, Lord Stanley—(cheers)—a nobleman whose bril liant talents, unabating energy, broad and comprehensive views, and devotion to the interests of the people were so well known, that he would only say he considered that the aristocracy of this country ought to be proud in possessing a member so distinguished, who by early and constant study, by great experience acquired in exten sive foreign travel, and by a determination to devote his mind to his country, had gained a reputation which gave true brilliancy to the peerage, and would add to the solidity of that House so admirably instituted by our constitution to connect the Commons with the Throne. (Cheers.) He would not refer to a rebellion as barbarous and as bloody as it had nigh proved fatal to our footing in India—a re bellion resulting from the over confidence placed in native troops. He would not dilate upon what it had cost this country in sacrifices, in anguish, and in blood. A retribu tion was called for; a just retribution had been inflicted— and they could only hope that a successful issue might re sult from such a struggle, and that they might profit by the lesson. (Hear, hear.) He hoped he might be per mitted to express a hope that the Government as well as the country at large would be penetrated with the belief that such a dreadful crisis had not been brought on with out the intervention of a merciful Providence to avert a more disastrous catastrs" ware '4.4 lions of souls _ not entrusted to the keepineWt, country to be dealt with with impunity, but that it was our bounden duty to introduce among them the saving truths of Christian faith, before which alone we could expect the atrocious machinations of fanaticism, idolatry, and super stition to disappear, and that we were bound to disseminate in that distant country the broad open light of Gospel reve lation which we boasted of possessing at home, and which must be the beginning, as it was the end, of all real and lasting success. (Hear, hear.) The Prime Warden con cluded by giving "the health of Lord Stanley and the Members of the Council for India." Lord STANLEY, who was loudly cheered, said,—l believe it would be impossible.for any public man to receive—l am sure I cannot receive—such marks of courtesy and kindness as you have manifested, without regretting my inability adequately to express that gratitude which it is impossible not to feel. Much as I should at any time have felt the compliment you have paid me, I have peculiar reasons for appreciating it at the present moment, because I have now the privilege of addressing you. not merely as an acquain tance, but as a near neighbour. It is here, in this city of London, and very near to this spot, that the greater part of my time, and of that of several of the gentlemen by whom I am surrounded, is now passed ; and I think I may say for my colleagues in the Indian Council, as well as for my self, that as we met with such a reception in the east we shall not be in any particular haste to migrate westwards. (Laughter and cheers.) Your chairman has been pleased to connect my name with the government of India. I do not wish to revive, or even to allude to past controversies but this I may be permitted to say—that throughout those Parliamentary discussions which ended in the transfer of the Indian government from the East India Company to the Executive of this country, that change was uniformly represented by me and by those colleagues with whom I acted as not being in the nature of a penal proceeding—as not involving any sentence of condemnation against the administration of that great Company whose century of empire has come to an end. (Cheers.) We regarded it—and I think rightly—as a change which was a natural, and even a necessary result of the lapse of time and the progress of events. I believe that that change will be productive of benefit to India. I hope it may lead to the larger introduc tion into that country of European energy, enterprise, and thought. (Cheers.) But I cannot conceal from myself, and I do not conceal from you, that if that change of rule has increased the opportunities possessed by the Govern ment of this country, it has also augmented, in a similar degree, the responsibilities which attach to us. (Hear.) We have to guard against a double danger. We have to protect India from the fluctuations of Parliamentary poli tics, and to protect England from the more indirect and remote, but perhaps not less real, risk which may arise from the connection of its Executive with an executive which is necessarily despotic. (Hear, hear.) I believe —and rejoice to believe—that as the insurrection of the last 15 months is gradually dying out, so also the exasperation of feeling which prevailed in this country against the natives of India—and which, under all the circumstances, bne can hardly regard with astonishment, though it may be a matter of regret—is in course of gradual extinction with the cause to which it owed its origin, and will at no distant period—if it has not already done so—give plate to a better and habitual frame of mind. I think, however, we should remember that it is not only from ill will or ill feelings on our part, but also from uninformed and mis directed efforts for doing good, that our influence and Government in India have been exposed to danger. (Hear, hear.) We do, I believe, regard—and undoubtedly we ought to regard—the natives of India as persons towards whom it is our duty t to feel good will, and for whose welfare it is our duty to labour ; but that is not enough. It is not enough to regard them as objects upon whom our benevolence may be exercised, or as persons upon whom it is in our power to operate important changes for good. We must look upon them also as men with whom, and not against whom, we have to work—as men with feel ings of their own—(hear, hear)—as men who, although politically subject to us, have a sense of their own rights and a respect for their own independence—(hear, hear)—and as men who will be apt to be all the more tenacious of their intellectual independence and national customs because of the political subjection in which they aro held. (Hear.) There can be no doubt that the position of a conquering and governing race confers many advantages as regards the influence which may be exercised over a conquered people ; but that position carries with it this disadvantage —that a conquering race almost inevitably displays a certain sense of superiority—a certain arrogance, if that be not too harsh a word to use—a certain disregard of the feelings of others, which, not being placed under such circumstances, it is hardly possible for us to under stand. I do not hesitate to say that, unless we keep within proper bounds our feeling of national superiority, unless we remember carefully, and even jealously, to respect the feelings, and even the prejudices of those with whom we have to deal—above all, if we attempt to introduce the force ana influence of Government into that which ought to be matter of private conviction between man and his owrr conscience, or if we are even sus pected, upon plausible grounds, of attempting or intending it, our endeavours at improvement will be thrown back in our face as insults, and we shall end by doing more harm than good. (Hear, hear.) lam sure that in this hall there is no need of such words of warning and caution as I have uttered, but in some quarters out of this room such \\lulling may not be superfluous. I have been called upon to return thanks for my colleagues the members of the Indian Coun cil, and, considering the alMoSt*ornal relation in which the Government of which I am a member stands with re gard to about one-half of that Coir.eil, I feel, that I am not the person to speak in their praise. This I may say, how ever, for I can say it with truth, that in selecting those who are to assist us in the administration of Indian affairs we looked not to Parliamentary connections, not to agreement in English politics, not to personal friendships, but solely to administrative efficiency and acquaintance with the various branches of the Indian service. (Cheers.) lam also bound to say—because criticisms have appeared in a con trary sense—that I think we have no less reason to be satisfied with that election which was the last governmental act per formed by the East India Company. (Hear, hear.) To any one who considers what the position of India is it must be obvious that upon us there devolves a labour which is not light. We have an army to reorganise and an empire to pacify. I confess that when I think of the amount of respon sibility which at this time and in this position devolves upon us—although, perhaps, fortunately for myself, I have not much leisure to reflect upon it—(cheers)—l ant inclined to feel appalled at the weight of the task we hive under taken. This consolation. at least we have—l believe we ale surrounded by those who are competent to give advice as good and as honest As was ever afforded to an Eng lish Minister—(cheers)--z-wkkbelieve the Evtglish public is just, and will look at least \fith forbearanceupon an ear nest effort to do it service, although the success of that effort may not be commensurate with its object. (Loud cheers.) The noble lord concluded by proposing the health of the Prime Warden, which was drunk with the usual honours. The PRIME WARDEN returned thanks, and gave " The House of Commons." Mr. R. D. MANGLES briefly acknowledged the toast, and regretting that his acceptance of a seat at the Board of the Indian Council would necessarily sever his connection with a constituency whom he had long represented in the House of Commons, expressed his earnest hope that the new sys tem of administration for India would work satisfactorily, and bore testimony to the knowledge, ability, and assiduity displayed by Lord Stanley since his acceptance of the office of President of the Indian Council. The PRIME WARDEN said they were honoured with the presence of a distinguished representative of that great and noble nation with which it was our happiness to be on terms not only of peace but of friendship. They had the pleasure of seeing, as a guest, the Count de Montebello, whose name, so renowned and so popular in France, was as well known as that of the illustrious Marshal Lannes, his father--that great warrior of the empire whom Napoleon was said most to have consulted, minded, and most to have loved. But as men of peace and citizens they particularly welcomed Count Montebello, as a forcible example of the improved state of the friendly relations between his coun try and our own—(cheers)—and this welcome must be the warmer when it was recollected that his great warrior parent brought up his children in all the spirit of in ternational hatred and prejudice, and when they saw that the Duke de Montebello and the Count, his bro ther, were now united to us, not only by sympathy , of opinions, not only by consideration of our national charac teristics, but united to us by marriage. (Cheers.) Such was the union all Englishmen wished to see ; not an union for the extension of dominion, but for the protection of peace —an union under the auspices of which might be carried out those wonderful schemes, discoveries, and inventions which were the boast of the present age—those vast pro mises of moral light and intellectual power which the mere whisperings of warfare would completely crush, and the glory of which would be transmitted to another generation instead of immertaliiing our own. (Cheers.) Count MONTEBELLO, in acknowledging the toast, said— Laissez-moi, Messieurs, von temoigner toute ma gratitude pour le toast qui vient de vous etre propose et pour l'accueil que vous avez bien voulu lui faire. Je suis heureux de pou voir vous assurer que les idees que vous venez d'entendre si bien et si noblement rendues sont partagees dana mon pays par tout ce renferme de eceurs genereux et d'esprits &lakes. Quant a moi incljpendamment du plaisir quo j'eprouve de me trouver en ce moment en aussi honorable corapagnie, je me felicite de l'occasion qui m'est offerte d'exprimer hautement mes rsentimens au sujet de l'alliance qui, dans l'interet de la pivilization et du bonheur des peuples, unit les deux puissantes voisines qui portent les beaux noms d'Angleterre et de France. (Cheers.) Ces deux voisines, Messieurs, out tent de raisons d'etre fieres r irellos-ineme qu'il efotmant qu'elles-' Inontrent quelquefoii un peu jalous'es`rtme de ratan ; mais, si elles ne sont pas toujours parfaitement d'accord, nous devons nous en consoler en pensant que c'est ce qui pent arriver entre les meilleurs amis. (Cheers.) L' essentiel est qu'elles ne se brouillent point, et je forme les vceux les plus ardents pour que jamais nous se soyons eprouves par un pareil nakl heur. Votre honorable Prime Warden vient de vous dire que j'ai eu le bonheur de trouver la compagne de ma vie parmi vos compatriotes, ces femmes belles, douces et graci euses, qui ont servi de types aux creations les plus ravis santes de votre immortel et incomparable Shakespeare. Etant attache a votre patrie par des liens aussi doux et aussi sacres, et songeant d'ailleurs aux relations de toute -sorte qui se sont etablies entre les deux pays, je crois vrai ment qu'une guerre entre la France et l'Angleterre me ferait prceque l'effet d'une guerre civile. L'expression dont Jo viens de me servir pout paraitre un peu forte, et je ne pre tends pas que tout le monde portage a cet egard la vivacite do mes sentimens. Mais ce qu'il-y ade sew, Messieurs, et ce qu'on ne peut meconnaitre, c'est que notre cordiale en tente a ete jusqu'ici fertile en prodiges. Je n'en citerai qu'un que je choisis entre tons, d'abord parcequ'il est le plus recent, et ensuite parcequ'il est pout-titre le plus extra ordinairo et que pent-titre aussi it sera le plus fecond en re sultats incalculables pour l'avenir de rhumanite. Je veux parler de ce fait immense, que l'Angleterre et la France, reunies aux extremites du monde, viennent de reduire en six mois a leur volonte un empire qui compte 360 millions d'habitants et qui se vante d'avoir une armee de 800,000 hommes. C'est la une nouvelle preuve, Messieurs, des belles et grander choses quo nous pourrons accomplir en restant unis. Ne nous separons done, jamais. C'est mon plus sincere et mon plus ardent desir. (Loud cheers.) The toasts of " the Visitors" and " the Ladies" were subsequenity given, and the company soon afterwards separated. . _ . _ A selection of vocal music was performed during the evening by a choir, under the direction or Mr. W. Dorrell, consisting of Mesdames Winn, Beale, and Dixon, Misses Banks, Whyte, Jackson, and E. Jackson, Messrs. CUmming, Shoubridge, Young, Winn, Beale, and Hannaford. Mr. Harker and Mr. Higgs officiated as toastmasters. DEER STALKING.—Among the sporting incidents of the month we are enabled to mention that in the island of Mull, the woods of Scalastle, on the estate of Lochbuy, were driven for deer on the 22d instant, by Maclaine of Lochbuv and party. Capt. Campbell, of Ards, had right and lett shots at two stags, killing one and wounding the other. Lochbuy also shot as largo a stag as has been killed in Mull for many years. It had a very fine head, and weighed 24 stones imperial. This is the first he has fired at since his return from the East, and we trust it is an omen of his taking a place among the deer stalkers of his native land. Others of the _party had fair shots.—North British Mail. STEALING METAL COFFINS FROM CHURCH VAULTS. —For some days past a rumour has been current at Strat ford that a copper coffin had been stolen from a vault under St. John's Church, and on Thursday evening Mr. John Bromley, one of the churchwardens, accompanied by the clerk of the church Mr. William Biggs, Mr. George Craddock, the sexton, Sergeant King, and one or two other officers belonging to the K division of the metropolitan police, visited the :vault for the purpose of ascertaining the truth of the report. A portion of the brickwork having been removed sufficiently large to admit a person to enter it was discovered that the copper coffin in which, with a shell and open coffin, were the remains of Mr. John Taylor, deposited in the year 181:,, was missing ; and two men, named James 'List, aged 35, and William Saville, aged 32, natives of Stratford, who had been employed as gravediggers at St. John's, were apprehended the same evening by Sergeant 'King, on suspicion of being the parties implicated in the robbery. On the following morning they underwent an examination before Mr. Joseph Soames, when the further hearing of the c ase was ad journed till Wednesday next. On Friday Mr. Biggs, the clerk, and Mr. William Gore, a plumber and glazier, of Stratford, made a further examination of the vault in which Mr. Taylor's remains were deposited, and those of i • his brother, Mr. Samuel Taylor, whose death took place ' four years subsequently, in 1850, and who was in closed in a leaden coffin. This, it was then discovered for the first time, had also been stolen. The copper coffin weighed nearly or quite 2 cwt., being as thick as an old penny-piece. It was made under the superintendence of Mr. Taylor, several years prior to his death, and deposited with Messrs. Martin and Son, of Stratford, his undertakers, as noticed in this paper at the time of his demise. The shells, as well as the two out-oaken coffins, were slightly damaged, but the brass inscription plate and the massive gilt handles were left untouched, The entrance to the vault was made by. removing a portion of the brickwork, which was replaced and whitewashed over, with the view of preventing detection. The incumbent and churchwardens will no doubt order the other vaults under the church to be examined, more especially as they would be warranted in doing so from information obtained since the apprehen sion of the parties supposed to be implicated in one of the most daring cases of sacrilege which has occurred for some time past. Ono of the accused persons has admitted his complicity in the crime, but accused his coadjutors of having taken the lion's share of the spoil. The police of the district are now busily engaged in obtaining additional evidence ; at present it has not transpired when the coffins were stolen, although a rumour is current that the copper one was sold to some marine-store dealer in the neighbour hood, whose name, for obvious reasons, for the present we withhold.—Essex herald. 1114. BUCHANAN, 11.1. P., AND 318. DALGLISH.- On Monday night the two members for the city met their constituents in the City-hall, Glasgow. There - was a numerous attendance. Mr BUCHANAN, after alluding to various matters of local interest, said—Gentlemen, I voted for Mr. Gibson's amendment, and because I regret having done so I come forward to 3' - ou, my constituents, and express my feelings on this subject, Well, the Government of Lord Palmerston was defeated, and the administration of Lord Derby came into their places. I could not do justice to my convictions, did I riot most freely admit that many of the gen tlemen ,who occupy the treasury benches do honour to their places. There are many men among them of experience —men of polished manners and high character ; but having said so much, lam done. (A laugh.) Their position is one which I cannot look upon as consistent with their dignity, and is not one I would • willingly occupy. Not oily were they in a false position, but they are, night after night, called upon to forget their former professions and all their former . opinions ; b u t w h at i s worse, they are plated in a position where they carry out no definite policy, and adhere to no d e fi n it e course of action. Whenever a subject comes to be dis cussed, what is the course of those on the Treasury benches ? They wait till they see what support they are likely to obtain from the gentlemen below the gangway on the opposte side, but do nothing • at all till they see the amount of support they may depend on. Is that a position for honourable men to occupy ? Is that the way to govern this great country—on the principle that 20 or 30 men on certain benches were found ready to give support on certain conditions ? (Cheers.) I look upon this state of affairs as of a most disastrous kind, preg nant with the greatest evils. So long as I have the honour of a seat in Parliament as your repre sentative, I shall endeavour, with any title abilities I may have, to assist in raising up again a strong and powerful Liberal party, whether Lord Palmer ston or Lord John Russell, one - or both, shall be members of that party, (Cheers.) As yet Ido not know, and perhaps as yet I do not care much - about the matter. This - I do know, they will never want worthy successors to carry out great principles in this country. (A Voice : " Seller. of Poland.") One of the great evils of the present course of affairs is that it is impossible to tell what is impending. October is coining on. We will have Cabinet councils, many discussions and hints thrown out to test public opinion. What human being can predict what kind of Reform Bill we will get from Lord Derby ? Will it be an at tempt to add more to the influence of the Tories by adding to the county constituencies ? or, will it be the bolder game, announced by many of that party, as their intention to give universal suffrage, trust ing to their playing a Tory game ? I mistake the opinion of the great majority of the masses of this country if they have any taste for a retrogressive policy. They love equal rights and laws greatly ; but I much mistake indeed if Parliament was elected by universal suffrage, if it would extend aristocratic rights. I think, if they proceed to this, our friends the Tories will find out the mis take for themselves. I pass on to make a few remarks upon other matters. I was glad to give my support to Mr. Locke King's bill for in troducing a £lO county franchise to England. That was thrown out in the Lords, but will be again introduced. A bill was introduced by a Scotchman, Mr. Caird, the member for Dartmouth, to extend the 40s. freehold franchise to Scotland. Now, gentlemen, I did not approve of the principle of that bill, but I voted for its being read a first time. I think the franchise so low as 405., without residence, would not be good; but that it would be better to have a £lO or even £5 county franchise, with residence. I think Mr. Caird was scarcely fairly used by the Scotch lawyers, who argued as if freeholds could not by any possibility exist in Scot- • land. Such was the argument of the present Lord Justice-Clerk and the late Lord Advocate, Mr. Mon creiff. No doubt, in the present state of Scotch law, difficulties of such a kind exist as gives a colouring to their argument; but when we have £lO free holds or feuholds, we could have them at £2, and therefore I could not see the force of the arguments of the learned lords. I have, therefore, to explain that if Mr. Caird's bill had come to a vote upon the merits, before I could have given it my support it must have been modified. He then glanced at the bill brought in under Lord Derby's Government, called the Transfer of Land Bill. The measure was a very important one, and he trusted it would prove of much benefit. The question of expenses was liot - b - rmigiit - roiVairrn the discU§sion upon its merits. The lawyers generally took care of that question. Regarding the Confirmation of Electors' Bill, he saw no reason why such a measure had been delayed so long, as there seemed to be a de sire for such a measure very generally in the country. He then referred to the bill brought in by Sir E. Colebrooke anent the registration of county voters, but which had been thrown out. He ridiculed the manner in which Lord Derby's Government had treated the measure, delaying to oppose it until they had information from their country factors regarding the likely effects it would have upon their interests. They allowed the bill to pass a second reading, while their information was maturing, and they opposed it in the third reading. As the hon. baronet was not easily cast down, he was in hopes that it would be again brought forward next year, as such a measure would prove of much benefit. (Cheers.) He had always been favourable to a reform of our universi ties, and it had given him great pleasure, therefore, that the Lord Advocate had succeeded in passing a measure for that purpose. While the Legislature had been devising means for the education of the rich, he regretted to say that nothing had been done for the eduCation of the poor. (Hear, hear.) It was highly desirable that there should be a bill brought in for this purpose. The Privy Council's grants for education amounted to £7,000 or £B,OOO a-year—grants to which he objected. They were for the most part sectarian in their character. They were made to the Free Church, the Established Church, and the Roman Catholic Church. It was his desire to see them done away with, because he wished to see education imparted in such a way as to make men not better Free Churchmen, but better citizens. (Loud cheers.) He regretted to say that nothing had been done in this direction, but hoped that some measure would soon be brought forward. It was one of many difficulties, but the more reason therefore should it be taken up with spirit. Mr. DALGLISH was received with all the enthu siasm awarded to his colleague. He said—My ex cellent colleague has gone so very fully into all the important questions of last session, that it will not be necessary on my part to detain you long. I have, however, a few remarks, and after I am done, I have no doubt that it will be agreeable to myself and colleague to hear the opinions of our consti tuency on any prominent question likely to come before Parliament during next session. (Cheers.) When Parliament met in February last, on the papers of the house were several motions, entered by the officer whose duty it is to do so, and who is responsible therefor. But after the attempt on the life of the Emperor of the French, the meetings of the French colonels, and their addresses to the Em peror, as they appeared in the Moniteur newspaper, changed the state of matters. Following them, there was brought into the House of Commons, by the former Ministry, a bill for the amendment of an important law of the country. had this amend ment been proposed by others than those who did it, I dare say it would quietly have passed unob served. It was the way in which it was brought forward that damaged it ; for when it was first brought forward only a small minority of Liberals, headed by Lord J. Russell, voted against it. We were told that if that bill were not passed, we should have immediate war with France. I had no such fear, but if I had had, it should not have deterred me from voting against it. (Loud cheers.) Because I believe that if we had pas ;ed that bill under threats from one party or another, there would have been larger measures required under other threats. (Hear, hear.) I believe that with the passing ' 0. of that bill the liberties of England would have fallen to a great extent. (Thundaring ap plause.) Ido not regret so much as my excellent colleague that the Conservatives, even against their principles, should have supported the amendment of Mr. Milner Gibson. (Hear, hear.) I believe that the Ministry of Lord Palmerston had become so much convinced of their popularity with the country, that they thought they could treat the Liberal party as they liked. (Cheers.) I was glad indeed to see a change of Ministry—(che:?rs)— and I confess that the Liberals have had a ; g ood deal more of their own way under the present A dministration than ever they had under that of Lord Palmerston. (Cheers and laughter.) One of the first acts of the present Ministry was to take a great deal of credit in a matter in which they had little hand—(laughter)—they sent Mr. Barber to Naples to superintend the notorious Cagliari affair, and though no doubt he had brought the matter very nearly to a close, I do not see that he had all the merit in doing so Neither de I say he had no merit. Far from that. But I believe that the public PRTCE 4D• STAMPED, 5D meetings held in GlasA ow and other large towns, coupled with the manly and independent expres sions of our Scottish press, did more to lib era t e our two countrymen from the dungeons of Naples than either the Government of Palmerston or Derby. (Loud applause.) Shortly afterwards there was an attempt made by the late party to overturn the Government through a motion brought in by Mr. Cardwell. That motion, as you are aware, was in relation to Lord Ellenborough's despatch. No doubt you have all read that despatch, and the numerous speeches connected with it and the motion, but per haps you will not be aware that there was a large party of the Liberals, who would have returned had they not pledged themselves to the measure. (Cheers.) The best was done to carry the motion, and after two or three nights' discussion it came to a point. The night that decided its fate was one of the most amusing scenes which I have seen in the House of Commons during the last session. The amount of byeplay was most extraordinary. The Conservatives, as well as the Liberals, seemed to be quite ignorant as to what would be the result. They could not guess. One party calculated on_ a majority of 20 or 30 ; while the other party thought they might have a majority of five or ten. (Laughter.) Under peculiar circumstances, some gentlemen got up and urged the withdrawal of the motion altogether. Cardwell was appealed to, but he pled that he was in the hands of the house, and could do nothing. Palmerston was appealed to. He consulted with his friends, and after much by talk Mr. Cardwell withdrew his motion and the house was saved from an awkward division. With re gard to India, my colleague has given you a full description of the state of affairs. I must say that I have no great faith in the present bill, as a work ing, practical measure. I question whether " the House of Commons did right in deputing the go vernment of India, or at least the control of the Government of India, to the Crown. India must beruled in India, and not in England. All that we have got to do at home is to -see that it is well ruled. (Cheers.) I felt, and still feel, that when the Hous, of Commons came to the resolution they were bound to look after the proper government of 'lndia. I doubt whether they have done well in giving the power to 15 irresponsible persons. I should have much preferred it being given to secre taries, who would be responsible to the House of Commons directly. In respect to refoim, that will be one of the principal objects which will en gage the attention of Parliament in the early part of the session. I don't know what views the Con servative party may have on the subject, but if they bring forward measures to meet the wishes of the Liberal party, I am certain their supporters will turn round on them. (Laughter.) We need scarcely calculate on anything from them. They will take the franchise from many of the burghs, and God knows there are many burghs that deserve to be disfranchised—(hisses) —but instead of throwing them into the county, it is possible they will remain in groups. I can only assure you, if you wish to secure good reform measures, the men of Glasgow and other large towns must move in the matter. (Hear, hear.) Let them give some indi cation of what the country wants, and let Govern ment know that the country must have it, and be assured we will get on much better. THE CHINESE POLL-TAX AT SYDNEY. The following letter, supposed to be written by a Chinaman, on this subject, will be found amus ing : " To the Respected Chin Fum, one of the Elders of the Literati, dwelling in the Street of Celestial Bliss, in the City of Shanghai. "My ever honoured Progenitor,-!=!-I send this writing to let you know of my health and my doings in thiS land of the outside barbarians, where I have now been a dweller for more than 30 moons, .and where I arrived in a barbarian ship after sailing over the mighty waters for three moons. My heart was sad on leaving the Central Flowery Land, and I fully resolved, if Heaven prospered my under taking, that I would soon return to pay due hon ours to the shades of my ancestors, and eventually lay my bones with theirs in the fields of happy re pose. Shortly do I hope to see you again, my re-: spected parent. May length of days be your por tion and eternal felicity your reward. I will now tell you about the things of the barbarians in this outside wilderness, that you may tell it to those of my countrymen who wish to come here to dig for gold. I have applied myself diligently, in obe dience to your command, to acquire the knowledge of the barbarians, and to their learned men and re ligious teachers I have not boon &of. T think their words very good, and that if they would themselves practise only a little of what they are so anxious to teach others, I could find no fault with them. Many of their maxims and precepts are worthy of being treasured up and held in re membrance equally with those of the great Confu cius himself. This is one of their principal precepts, the excellence of which moved me to inquire fur ther into their doctrines—' Do as you would that others should do unto you.' Another is, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.' Their sacred books teach that all mankind are brothers—of one flesh ; and the Great Teacher whom they profess to follow, and from whom the name of their religion is derived, is said to have left as one of his greatest commandments the injunction, ' Love one another.' I was highly delighted with this, and thought that the people who followed such teaching must be worthy examples to others, particularly when I learnt that they spared no trouble or expense in sending their Bonzes (priests) to distant parts of the world to teach these excellent things to the most miserable and degraded of mankind ; and I foolishly thought they would hail the coming of my coun trymen among them with great joy, in order that they might impart to them the benevolent doctrines of their own religion. But now, alas ! when I know these people better, I see plainly that they wish to make up by their zeal in teaching others for their remissness and neglect in practising these golden rules themselves. " I must inform you, my honoured, sir, that the mandarins and lawgivers among these: barbarians pretend (in order to replenish their empty treasury, and at the same time to please the vulgar sort, whose goodwill they are desirous to secure,) that there is great danger to the public morals and wel fare because of so many Celestials coming to dwell in their country—that we shall corrupt them, for sooth! and degrade their race ! and a great outcry has been raised against us. This is pleasing to the ignorant and brutal among them, who call us all manner of hard names and ill •treat us—and when I reply to them in the words, of their own sacred book, Do as you would be ii,one unto,' they only mock and abuse me the more ; and if I venture to mention another of their aphorisms, that With what measure men mete unto others it shall be measured to them again,' they reply with blows. The mandarins and wise men, in order to please these people, have decreed that all my country men, when they arrive here, must pay the great amount of 40 ounces of silver. This is the price at which these people value their moral welfare and the purity of their race ! We are to be at liberty to corrupt and degrade them to any extent if we will only pay them the 40 ounces of silver. One of their mandarins stated, in their hail of assembly, that he objected to our coming here because we smuggled opium in our bamboo sticks. If this worthy mandarin had called to mind that passage from their sacred book which says, First take the beam from thine own eye, and then thou shalt sec clearly to pull out the mote which is in thy brother's eye,' the blush of shame must have overspread his countenance when he uttered it, seeing that his own countrymen have been engaged for many years in smuggling opium into our country, not in bamboo sticks, but in ship loads. Another of these wise mandarins said that he objected to our coming because one of the Celes tials whom he employed. although an excellent servant, had turned Christian, and it seems he con tinues a good servant still, in spite of having changed his religion, evidently much to the worthy mandarin's surprise, who apparently wishes to pre vent the chance of such a change, by making them pay heavily for it. Another of these lawmakers said that, if we were allowed to come here, this country would soon become a province of the Celes tial Empire, but it seems he is quite willing we should come if we paid for i+. Verily, these people would allow us to defile their fathers' tombs if we paid them for it. Surely, if we are so bad as they say, they ought to exclude us altogether. I be lieve' notwithstanding all the precepts of tly:i r holy. books, their professions are all a sham, al ); :i the principal object of their adoration is a ir w an d grovelling, but powerful thmon, called nammon,' whose slaves they are.

They do not grow sugar, or tea, or rice, or even. catch the fish with which their coasts and harbours swarm. They have not a single canal in the, 0 ~.. - try, and scarcely a road; and everything they u... 1 and wear has to be brought from other parts of the world. Almost the only thing they make is the, fire-water called rum, which many of them drink until they end their miserable lives ; so true 14 their saving that ' Whoever is doomed by Heaven: is infatuated.' " The precepts for the regulation of their coin nic Wel and their statestate of, opposition to each other. The teaching of one of their wisest men, an old mandarin called Adam Smith, whose injunctions the most enlightened among them profess to follow, may be summed up in these words, The most effective way of advancing the wealth and great ness of a nation is for the Legislature to allow every man to dispose of his industry and capital to the best advantage he can, without favouring him on the one hand by protection, or imposing restraints upon him on the other, and when universal justice triumphs this principle will regulate -tile commer cial policy of the world.' How different is their practice from this, and yet they profess to be guid e d by such precepts. " The political creed of these people is also equally opposed to their practice, for they profess to believe that all men are equal, but their acts completely give the lie to their words. " When, in addition to all this, it is considered that this nation is at the present time sending their fireships and great numbers of their Braves to our country to fight us, because we do not wish to trade with them on the terms which they choose to dic tate, and that they have already taken forcible pos session of one of our chief cities, I think it must be allowed that this attempt to tax us is very wicked as well as unreasonable and unwise. " But let me no longer waste time in speaking of the follies and vices of these people, whom Heaven, no doubt for some wise but inscrutable purpose, has permitted for a time to occupy a land which they know not how to till or enjoy in a rational manner, and whose arrogance and conceit prevent them from learning of others who are able to teach them. * * " Surely, if this tax is to be imposed on my countrymen on their arrival here, the barbarians, in common honesty, will either spend it for their bnefit or return it them when they leave, if they do so without having offended against the laws of the land. Apart from the reasonableness of this supposition, I am the more inclined to indulge this hope, because when I mentioned it to one of their mandarins he very civilly told me he thought we should get the money returned, ' with a hook' What this latter expression means I do not exactly know, perhaps some small ornament or reward for our good conduct during our sojourn in the country. * * " That your shadow, my venerated parent, may never grow less is the fervent wish of dutiful " JAN CHIN." THE _HI3IALAYA MOUNTAINS. The brothers Schlagintweit, Hermann, Robert, and Adolphe, were sent on a mission by the East India Company to explore the Himalaya Moun tains, Tibet, and Central Asia. This journey was originally suggested by Baron Humboldt and sup ported by the King of Prussia. Adolphe has not returned. to Europe, and it is feared that he has perished in his travels. His surviving brothers have given evidence before the committee appointed to inquire into the facilities for the colonisation and settlement of India, and, as the result of personal observation, their opinion is very valuable. Their researches extended from 5 deg. to 37 deg. north latitude, and from 68 deg. to 98 deg. longitude east of Greenwich. The total length of the lines along which the inquiries were carried on amounts, by an approximate calculation, to 18,000 English miles. Meteorological researches were among the special objects of their mission, and these led them to in quire into the salubrity of the Himalaya range, par ticularly in reference to the health of Europeans there permanently settled. In its eastern divisions they pronounce it humid, and at Darjeeling it ap pears that the quantity of rain fall exceeds 120 inches, but both in the centre and at the western termination dampness is considerably reduced. The only valleys of considerable extent through out the Himalaya range are in Nepaul and Cashmere, and are described as the beds of former lakes. The mountains are penetrated by various passes ; the lowest, leading to Tibet, and called the Niti Pass, is at an elevation of 16,000 ft. For the sctticmcnt of Europeans in this part of India Cashmere is recommended as the most eligible loca lity, but it does not form a part of the British pos sessions. The climate of Sikkim is mild and tempo rate, but has the disadvantage of great moisture, the rainfall exceeding 120 inches, in consequence of which Europeans are exposed to dyspepsia, who get cured by removing to Tibet, chiefly owing t o th e dryness of the atmosphere in that country. In Tibet some villages are inhabited at a height of 14,000 ft.. —in the Himalayas the range is from 11,000 to 11,500 feet. To carry trade into Central Asia ha s f or a l ong period been desired by our Indian authorities. It was contemplated by Warren Hastings, who, in 178.3, sent Mr. Turner to Tibet t o accom pli s h th a t object, and that gentleman reported that in the al luvial district gold was abundant, an d rea dil y t o b e obtained ; and even in 1775, Mr. Bogle, employed by the company on a similar mission, considered that British woollen manufactures would find a ready market among the Tibetans. On a former occasion we had occasion to remark that Mr. Hooker, who made a botanical excursion to India in 1848, pointed out the great capabilities for cultivating teaafforded by the Himalaya range, and this is fully confirmed by the observations of the Messrs. Schlagintweit, who state that plantations at an elevation of even 5,000 feet have proved remunerating though the best localities are considerably lower. However, they are of opinion that tea might be grown with advantage along the whole range, and in unlimited quantity, and consider it a most important article of trade to be introduced into Tibet, where it is largely consumed, though the quality is coarse ; moreover , as it comes from China, the cost of carriage, owing to the distance, must be great. It is mo re use d by the hill tribes than by the people i n h a biti ng th e plains. Dr. Jameson thinks that we could produce it at 6d. per pound, and of a better description. Another article of trade, which would readily find a market, is coarse woollen cloth, now, to a certain ext ent, supplied by Russia, but, if good roads were made, the travellers corroborate the view taken by Mr. Moorcroft, who states " it is at our option whether Central Asia shall be supplied with goods from Russia or from England." We could obtain in exchange from Central Asia raw and manufac tured silks, shawls and velvets, hemp, sugar-candy, and ponies, borax (much used in India for technical purposes), and a stone called " jade stone," exclu sively used for ornamental work. In its chemical composition it is " a silicate of magnesia and alu mina, containing small quantities of iron and chrom colouring matter ; its mineralogical name is nephrite ; it a little resembles some kinds of agate, and cuts or scratches glass very deeply after it is hardened." Copper and zinc ores are found in the eastern parts of the Himalaya, and greatly used by the natives in making their basins and idols. That commerce offers bright prospects in these regions is certain ; but there appear to be many obstacles to free exchange. Some tribes are so savage that all intercourse with them is impossible. Europeans could not gain access into Bhutan, the government of which is under Buddhists, the rajahs being both secular and ecclesiastical princes. The rulers at Sikkim are not friendly to the Indian Go vernment ; but it would be well to adjust any differ ences that may exist, as it affords the shortest mountain passage across the Himal a y as i n t o Tib e t, and is on the direct route from Calcutta to Lassa, the capital of Eastern Tibet. I n thi s di s t r ict smuggling is active, proving a demand for trade. Salt is thus illegally taken from Tibet into Sikkim, and tobacco from Sikkim into Tibet. The great obstruction to trade with Tibet arises from the Chinese authorities, and not from the Tibetians. " When Major Cunningham and Captain Strachey were in Tibet, charged with the regulation of the frontier, the efforts that were made to get official relations with the Chinese were absolut . ely . useless." Ree'ent negotiations, however, may assist in the re moval of these impediments, for though access t 9 T in ibet may not be a s p ecific clause the late treaty l decisive blow has been struck agai▪ nst the a very emanaarin system of exclusiveness, and" the whole must fall before proper and repeated efforts. The Chinese themselves, when once the novelty of European intercourse has passed away, will soon be reconciled to the outerbarbarians by the love of gain , and they will learn to respect the strangers they have despised or hated. Though, as already re marked, the Rajah of Sikkim is not friendly to us, the people are, and are hostile to the Chinese rulers, and of this fact a skilful diplomatist mi▪ ght take advantage. The truth is that, with the excep tion of savages, all rude tribes are eager to barter, and are only roused to anger or distrust when they detect inju-tice and ovcr-reich nj. We have, Low- ; ~,
