WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID; With Diet Tables for all Complaints. • Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the Instructions herein contained, the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we should live—what eat, 'what drink, what shun, To reach in health fill' threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea ture able to Understani ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature; of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the isrue thereof in their . several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities In the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. BY such knowledg',A, and which is -herein faitlifony Moab irnenelaudimut or 2111,; - ny the availment hereof is fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and by the cultivation 71' our faculties, lch Is In consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

If CHIT, Q C., ,opened the case briefly on behalf of the pro moters, stating that this was a branch to supp:y a communica tion in an agricultural. district where it was much wanted, the several portions of which would be shown in the evidence. He called Mr. Gambles, but a long discus- Sion ensued between the Learned Gentleman and Mr. Sergeant Wrangham as to whether the latter could appear on behalf of Mr. Childers, M.P., who had presented a petition on behalf of himself and others, trustees of Hat field Chase, as well as for other landowners. Mr. Whitehurst contended that Mr. Childers could only appear as a petition ing landowner on his own behalf, and as the line did not touch his land at all, he was clearly out of court. Mr. Sergeant WRANGTIAM alleged that, inasmuch as Mr. Childers was a joint owner of lands with others, and had a freehold and equitable property in the lands, he was clearly entitled to be heard, although his co-owners did not join him in the petition. After much dispute, the CHAIRMAN stated that there was much difficulty in the minds of the Committee, and they thought that the matter had better be referred to the Earl of Shaftesbury to decide. A reference was made to his Lordship, but the reply ap- peared to be conditional, for after much further dispute and reference to petitions, the room was cleared. Some time elapsed before the parties were re-admitted, when The CHAIRMAN declared that the Committee decided that Mr. Childers could not be heard except as a landowner. They had also decided that the London and York Company could not appear as competitors of the Bill. Lord Worsley was then called to show the necessity for, and the value of, the line. Ilis Lordship stated that the country through which this line passed was altogether unac commodated by railway. The whole of the Isle of Axholme, which, like Thanet, retains the title of island, but is, in fact, no such thing, but a portion of a reclaimed district of alluvial soil, rich in the produce of potatoes, turnips, carrots, and other veretpl:lea_. --1-t4.- Gainsborough with Yoi andwill reach Sell )) t o get to Leeds, nearly six miles nearer than by the London and York line to Lincoln. His Lordship was cross-examined at considerable length by Mr. PAGET as to the necessity and advisability of this line, and with a view to show that a better line might have been chosen. It was stated that the chief markets for the produce of the district, arc London, Leeds, and Sheffield. The chief country markets for this produce, are Doncaster, Epwortb, and Haxey. The potatoes, the principal export, went generally down the Trent, frotn Gainsborough to the Humber, vessels of 300 tons being able to get up to Gainsborough. The examination was continued to show that all the means of communication necessary for the dis trict are always provided for by the River Trent and the Great Grimsby and Gainsborough Railway. Mr. CHRISTOPHER, M.P., confirmed Lord Worsley's tes timony as to the nature of the country and the necessity for the line, especially speaking of the culture of onions, for the growth of which, the soil being exceedingly rich, and four or five feet deep, the district was particularly adapted. Having the advantage of railway transit, this produce would be con veyed to distant markets in a sound state. Sir Robert Sheffield also confirmed the testimony. The navigation of the Trent is open, and much used, the land on the banks of the river being exceedingly fertile, and the main portion of the population residing upon it; but there still is a considerable number of inhabitants residing west of the proposed line. On cross-examination, Sirß. Sheffield stated that, generally speaking, the line would be about five miles within either the Ou'ie or the Trent, the navigation of the former river, being like that of the latter, both exceedingly open and free, giving access to Hull and York, and by canals to Wakefield, Todmorden, and the whole of the manufacturing district. On re-examination, the witness stated this line ran directly through the district, an d was, in his opinion, the best that could be devised. Lord de Maulay being obliged to attend another Committee, their Lordships adjourned until to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XXXIII. The Committee on this group met to-day, in Room No. 24 (Grand Corridor); present, Sir Robert Ferguson (Chairman), the Marnuis of Worcester, Viscount Newry, Mr. Smollett, and Mr. Fellowes. The hour appointed for meeting was eleven o'clock, when the report, tables, and sections of the referees and umpire, respecting the alleged errors in the levels cf the Warwick shire and London Railways were put in. But the full num ber of Members not having arrived until half-past twelve o'clock, business was not proceeded with till that hour. They then proceeded to consider the objections raised to the levels of the three Warwickshire lines, in connexion with the London and Birmingham Railway Company, and on the narrow gauge, namely, WORCESTER. AND WEEDON, HAMPTON AND askicionacHo HAIMPTCIN AND The CHAIRMAN observed that the Committee would take the first seven miles of the Worcester and Weedon, which had been reported on as samples of the levelling on the wilt le. Mr. AUSTIN, for the promoters, said that be was ready to put in evidence to dispiovo the alleged erroneousness of the Levels. The CHAIRIUN said, which evidence the Committee have decided not to hear. ------- The room was then cleared, and after about half an hour's deliberation the parties were re-admitted, when The CHAIRMAN announced the decision of the Committee to be, that with respect to the BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION, the preamble was proved, and that with respect to the BIRMINGNAII AND OXFORD JUNCTION (BIR MENGHAM EXTENSION), the preamble also was proved. That in respect to the War wickshire and Loudon lire, the preamble of the WORCESTER AND WEEDON was not proved. In respect to the HAMPTON AND ASHCHURCH, the preamble was not proved ; and in respect to the HAMT2TON AND BANBURY, the preamble was n )t proved ; but that in respect to the RUGBY, Li ;AMINGTON, AND WARWICK, the preamble be au tended, by striking out the words " towns of Leamington an d Warwick," and by inserting the words town of Leamii igton" instead thereof. The preamble, as so amended, was declared to be proved. In the case of the LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM (BIRMINGHAM EX. TENSION), the preamble hal 1 been. proved.

Lascelles (chairman), the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, and Captain Dalrymple. sunEwsriunir AND antrairmaraza. On being called upon by the Hon. CHAIRMAN to proceed with this Bill, Mr. HorE said--With regard, Sir, to the Shrewsbury and Birmingham B i ll, I s h ou ld state to the Committee that they will probably remember that there were two Bills standing before you for the construction of a line from Birmingham to Shrewsbury, and another from Wolverhampton to Birming ham. It is proposed, of course, that both companies should not execute a line between Wolverhampton and Birming ham. I believe that the Bill for the line between Wolverhampton and Birmingham can be proceeded with. With regard to the Shrewsbury and Birmingham you will probably remember that an amalgamation was come to between them and the Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton Company. The arrangements, in order to carry out that object, are very complex, and I am afraid that we shall not be able to do anything with that Bill to-day; but the Bill with regard to Wolverhampton and Birmingham is ready, and can, in fact, be now proceeded with. 11.1:17.ZT.T.3MG11.8.D1C, woLvErmardPTol7, STS s vaxam - i - ir Wax— vzimanrapToLT, Am) DUDLEY mXiNTES). This Bill was accordingly proceeded with, and the preamble declared to be proved. On the clause with respect to sta tions being read, Mr. COCKBIMN, Q.C., said that the party whom he re presented proposed to insert a clause, the effect of which would be to regulate the situation of the stations of the two Companies at Wolverhampton. The Committee were aware that both parties had scheduled the same land as the site of their stations,•and there 'was to be,. as.they were aware, a double station at the high and tha low level. Now,• it so - happened that the land of both par. ales scheduled for the purposes of stations, was intersected by the canal in that district; and he proposed, therefore, a clause that should give this Company one side of the canal, and that party which he represented, the other side. The effect of the clause (which the Learned Counsel read and put in) would be to restrict the Companies to a particular side of the canal. Mr. Horz, on the part of this Company, objected to the clause. A long discussion ensued between the engineers of the two companies; 'out eventually an arrangement satisfactory to both parties was entered into, and the station clause, together with the remaining clauses, were agreed to, as well as the report. The Hon. CHAIRMAN intimated that, if the Shrewsbury and Birmingham parties were not prepared with their case, the Committee would most probably adjourn for a week. SOUTII sr PTOR,DSIIIILE :FUNCTION (ZXLS , TON !IND PILESTFIELD El. NCII). The promoters of this Bill announced that they did nol intend proceeding with it. The Bill was accordingly withdrawn.

This Bill being called on, Mr. ALEXANDER, Q.C., objected to the Committee pro ceeding to entertain the Bill, inasmuch as it had been twice called upon, and the parties were not prepared to go on with it. In fact, he doubted whether any appearance had ever been entered for the parties. he appeared for the Birminghom Canal Company, in opposition to the scheme, because it proposed to pass his clients' property about five or six times in the most objectionable manner. His clients had regularly attended before the Committee until the case had been called on by the Committee, and as the promoters were not prepared to proceed, they took it for granted that the scheme had become defunct. That was the general im pression, and it was only in corsequence of the solicitor of the Bill waiting upon his clients the previous day, and stating that the Bill was intended to be proceeded with, that they were now in attendance to oppose it. On reference to the minutes of the Committee Clerk, it was ascertained that an appearance had been regularly entered for the Bill, and it was accordingly suffered to be proceeded with. The Hon. Mr. TALBOT, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Mat thews), proceeded to state the case on behalf of the promoters. He stated that the Bill was in effect unopposed, because, although his Learned Friend, Mr. Alexander, was instructed to appear on behalf of the Birmingham Canal Company to appear against the preamble, when they carne to look into the petition of his clients, the Committee would find that his grievances were very inconsiderable and easy of adjustment. The line would commence at Rudgely, upon the Trent Valley line, and would pass through the mineral district in that neigh bourhood, which was a most important one. It then passed through Cannock, and so down to a place called Bushell, on the line of the South Staffordshire Railway, and afterwards formed a junction with the Grand Junction Company, and thence it proceeded to Birmingham and Wolverhampton. The length of the line, he believed, was between 14 and 15 miles. The whole estimate would amount to 260,0001. There would be two unimportant tunnels. The object of it was to introduce into the country already mentioned a railway which would give them a communication with the important district of Bilston, Wednesbury, &c. Having descanted upon the oppo sition offered to the line by the proprietors of th. 44."11.4,41," .-- Mr. George Remington, who st a ted th a t he and Sir John Rennie were the joint engineers of the line, and having de scribed the route of the line, and the character of the coun try, as far as regarded the traffic, he ?aid that this was the best engineering line the country could admit of. The worst gradient on the line would be 1 in 90, and the ruling gradient lin 230. It would be a double line, and he had no doubt that the traffic of the county would justify the con struction of a double line, lie then gave a detail of the estimates, and afterwards described the mode in which the promoters proposed to cross the Birmingham Canal Company. Cross-examined by Mr. ALEXANDER—There was not a single building along the line between Brewaston and Kent. He had never laid down a line along so thinly a populated district as this would pass through; but he expected great passenger -traffic between Wednesbury, &c., and the Pot teries. He did not know that there was great connexion between the people of the Potteries and Wednesbury, &c., and yet the passe • r-traffic between the two places was relied on as ones e principal sources of profit. Lord Hatherton had sr ' 7.1• -I-pits along the proposed line. The Hon. Mr. TAinur submitted that his Learned Friend was not entitled to cross-examine the witness as to the general merits of the line. The Hon. CHAIRMAN said that Mr. Alexander was, of course, entitled to continue his cross-examination as long as his clients had petitioned against the preamble. I Re, examination resumed—The length of the large tunnel would be 711, and he did not know whether it would have to pass through free stone ; he had not bored the laud through which that or the other tunnel (264 yards long) would have to pass. He did not know whether there was a good traffic on the canal. The witness having undergone a lengthy cross-examination as to the estimates, This witness was re-examined by the lion. Mr. TALBOT, and said that the Cannock Chase, on which Mr. Alexander had dwelt at so much length and with so much drollery, was by no means more unpopulated than Chat Moss, over which the Liverpool and Manchester Railway passed. The line he had no doubt would be a source of great profit to the share holders, and an advantage to the public. The Committee adjourned until twelve o'clock to-morrow. PRICE SD. on traffic, made two years ago by Blessts. Sopwith and William Cubitt, founded on the Government returns, and statistics of a trustworthy character, and stated that since then, the Directors being aware that a material improvement bad taken place, had provided that a report should be made down to the close of 1845, by M. Magis, in reference to the same subject, and founded, as before, on Government returns for the mines, quarries, and other industrial establishments; the personal evidence of the manufacturing firms, and the French Custom-house authorities; showing the increased traffic in the different articles of commerce and manufac tares. The report of the Directors thus concluded the re view of the traffic stAistics: "The result therefore is, that, without the increased ac ccmmodagon of the railway, and merely by the natural progress of the country itself, the traffic had already reached last year to within about 37,000 francs, or less than 1,5001., of the amount estimated by Mr. Sopwith as that which it would attain under all the advantages which the railway would confer on those districts. Such, in fact, is the singular rapidity with which the trade of the country is augmenting, that M. Magis has expressed his conviction that the production of iron, iron ore, &c., will, during the present year, amo un t t o d ou bl e that of 1845 ; but, evon esti mating this increase at only 50 per cent, and reserving the other 50 for the impulse which the opening of the railway, with all its facilities and reduction of cost, cannot fail to give to districts already so energetically disposed, a traffic in these important materials is arrived at of double the amount of that which was originally estimated to be obtained upon the opening of the line. It is hardly necessary to point out the natural inference of this, both as respects the proof of the sound principle on which the original estimate was formed, and the consequences to the interest's of the shareholder's. The facts will speak for themselves." - • - The. CHAIRMAN, when the report.had been read, said— Toe !_urntstral length of th e re p ort w hi c h t h ey had heard, and copies of which they held in their hands, would render it unnecessary for him to trespass long upon their time and attention. But the reason why a report had been drawn up at such length was the circumstances and the state in which their line at present was, which made it desirable that the directors should lay before them such a report as would enable the shareholders to form as correct a judgment as the directors themselves on the whole of the circumstances cf the enterprise in which they were jointly interested ; it was in order that the shareholders might be enabled to judge of the prospects which the fnture would develope. Besides this, however, it would gratify the directors to give any further information which might be deemed necessary in answer to questions put from the body of the meeting, and he expected to be fully able to satisfy them. He thought he might unhesitatingly say that, being now made aware of the increase of traffic which had grown up in the district of their line within the last year, the opinion en tertained of it was one of the most encouraging character. He admitted, however, that if they were to look to England alone, and without taking into conside ration the circumstances of last year, he could not be so sanguine at present when their shares were so depressed in the market. But they were bound to look at the cause, to look at what had occurred the year before, when no enter prise, however bad, no scheme, however visionary, no bubble, however airy, but was eagerly grasped at, and shares immediately bought up—a state of things in which a reverse would most naturally excite a panic, and engender suspicion against projects of even the highest character. He did not think, therefore, they ought to look at the state of the share market in order tojudge correctly of the prospects of the line. The directors had felt bound, he said, to examine, with carefulness uud accuracy, the grounds on which the undertaking was originally proposed, to see whether any increase had been made in those data on the subject of traffic, and whether that increase was in the ratio at which it had originally been taken. This investigation, in the case of lines already completed and in operation, would not present great difficulties, as the profits would themselves form a correct criterion ; but in the case of a line only in the course of construction, unless one in operation could be found perfectly analogous, it was fraught with difficulty —a diffi culty which would be felt in this kingdom, but much more in another, and eapecially under the circumstances attachingto this particular line. The peculiarities to which he referred were that what he might call the two great manufacturing districts, iron and coal, lay on different portions of the line, and had to be brought together for the creation of iron. The directors then had ascertained the traffic through the district during the last year, the details of which the meeting had heard read to them, and they naturally expected that, if' the line had been constructed, traffic would have passed over it. If the report was founded in truth and was correct, it only remained for them to consider what would be the results.—(Hear, hear.) The report which had been drawn up on a former occasion by Messrs. Cubitt and Sopwith was founded on an average of seven years between 1836 and 1842, and the conclusion to which these gentlemen had been led by their calculations was, that the line would return an income of 96,0001. a year, including in that sum the addition of 25 per cent., which was no great allowance for the incitement which the facilities of transit would . give to trade. Such was the estimate o f th e return given in by these gen tlemen, and, according to which, they had started with the railway; but last year, without any railway being in opera tion, the increase of traffic had come to within 1,5001. of the calculated returns of the railway itself. These facts, if true, were very imnortant: the ant., L lig ,tA cYatr e s ,t ef t v tl a iTa ti; w s, e- s p u ti c e l d i as night s T u ri b ,e n - 4. l i tt . and carts that passed through ; it was drawn up from the statistical re turns of the Belgian Government. So that the report rested on the authorities recognised by the Government of the country, on statistics made up with the careful industry for which the - Belgians were celebrated, and the character of M. Magis, whose official standing in connexion with the Government would save him from the suspicion of practising imposi tion. As regarded the passenger traffic, that was a subject more difficult to estimate; Mr. Cubitt and Mr. Sop with had calculated it at the rate of, 20/. a day, which, he thought, was no exaggerated calculation for a line of railway 66 miles long. He certainly believed that their expectations on that point • would be more than realised. He said the directors had never laid before the meeting the means of forming a correct judgment as to the state and prospects of the railway, and they were anxious that the shareholders should take every opportunity of mak ing themselves acquainted with the merits of the line by consulting the original documents, which were lying at the company's office. The Chairman concluded with moving that the report now read be adopted, printed, and circulated. Mr. Kirrnsch seconded the motion. A SHAREHOLDER wished to know what extent of the line had been already formed, and when any part of it might be opened ? The CHAIRMAN said the first portion of the line included a tunnel of great extent, and they were busy with their opera tions in it. There were about 2,000 men employed on the whole line. The mineral branches, which were the most important, extended about 30 miles up in the direction of Morialme, but these will not be in operation till September next year, and the whole line in about twelve months after. A SHAREHOLDER wished to know what was the probable rate of interest which the line would bear, and whether the capital would be sufficient, and what were the estimated receipts? The CHAIRMAN referred the gentleman to the report of the estimated receipts. He said that increase of capital would be necessary, because a double line of rails had been laid down instead of a single line, as at first projected—an increase which was made to meet the increase of traffic, and which, he was sure, would be looked upon as the most prudent step the directors could have taken. Mr. THOMPSON HANKEY, a director, said, that as far as they could judge of the estimated receipts, the income would be far larger than anything originally contemplated. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to anuther gentleman, said, he did not expect that any call would be made on the share holders for some time to come. The motion was then put and carried unanimously. The Hon. H. BROWNE moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman and directors. Mr. CRAIK seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN having acknowledged the honour they had done him and his colleagues, the meeting broke up. SOU'T'H STAFFORDSHIRE JUNC- TION RAILWAY. A meeting of the shareholders of this Company took place yesterday, at 38, Parliament-street, for the purpose of having an agreement entered into by the directors with the Trent Valley, Midland, and Grand Junction Company submitted to their approbation. The meeting was very thinly at tended, and at half-past eleven o'clock the chair was taken by Mr. Foster. Mr. WAGSTAFF read the agreement, which stated, that under the arrangement as now completed, the shareholders in the TrentValley,Midlands, and Grand Junction Company will have an interest to the extent of four-ninths of the actual capital of the united company, the remaining five ninths being taken by the proprietors of the South Stafford shire Junction Railway. The arrangements as to the line are, in substance, that the Trent Valley, Mid lands line shall be adopted from its commencement at the proposed junction with the Birmingham and Derby branch of the Midland Railway, and shall pass through Lichfield, to or near Walsall, from which point the line of the South Staffordshire Company will be adopted to Dudley. The South Staffordshire Junction Company are Branches, and make their two communications with the Grand Junction wil t l h e e ons T is r t en o t f i Valley Railway.

With Wolver hampton the communication will be effected by means of the Portobello branch of the Grand Junction Railway. In accordance with the agreement, and with the requirements of the consolidated scheme, the capital of this company has been reduced to 420,0001., and the amount of the shares has in consequence been reduced to 121. per share. The shares of the South Staffordshire Junction Company have been reduced in the same proportion. A resolution having been unanimously agreed to ap proving of the agreement, the meeting separated. TRENT VALLEY, MIDLANDS, AND GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY. = SPECIAL MEETING. A special meeting of the holders of scrip and bankers' re ceipts for scrip in this Company took place, at No. 19, Great George-street, Westminster, at two o'clock yesterday, for the purpose of having a Bill submitted to their consideration, a copy of the proposed Bill to authorise the construction of the railway. Colonel Anson took the chair at two o'clock. The SECRETARY having read the advertisement convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN briefly adverted to the advantageous posi tion which the company had assumed by their agreement with the South Staffordshire Junction Railway, which we have already laid before our readers. The Bills having been read, resolutions adopting them were moved and seconded, and declared to be carried una nimously. The number of shares assenting, as represented at the meeting, were 17,175, without one dissent, and the number required to authorise the further prosecution of the Bill was 6,900. The meeting then separated, haying passed a vote of thanks to the Chairman. GROUP LXI. EDINBURG-17 AND GLASGOW, MONIELAND AND ILIRKINTILMOCH, BALLOCHNEY AND SLATVIANNAN JUNCTIONS. The Committee met again to-day, Sir John Duckworth, chairman. The Committee was all clay occupied in hearing evidence for the preamble of the Bill. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE. HOUSE, OF LORDS. • Their Lordships met to-day at the unusually late hour of *4) o'clock, in Room 1, House of Lords. Lord Shaftesbury Look the chair as usual. There was but one Bill on the list, namely, THE WISBEACH, ST. IVES, AND CAMBRIDGE JUNCTION, which came before their Lordships on a second reference. The compliance with Lord Wharncliffe's standing order, and the deposit of the additional 5 per cent. required by the sessional order, which had not been proved on the former reference, being now established, the standing orders were declared complied with. Their Lordships soon after their meeting resolved them selves into a Select Committee on Merits. There were 26 Bills on the list., of which 14 were Railway Bills. The others were for the most part estate and Small Debts Bills. Decisions were made in the 'following c&ses : AYRSHIRE, BRIDGE OF WEIR, AND PORT GLASGOW JUNCTION. The Committee declared the preamble of this Bill proved. BIRMINGHAM, LICHFIELD AND MANCHESTER. Their Lordships maclea similar decision in this case. GUILDFORD, CIIICHESTER, AND PORTSMOUTH (No. 2).

The second half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this undertaking was held at the London Tavern, yesterday, at one o'clock. Mr. llA'rrEit, M.P., having been called to the chair, ex pressed his sorrow that the chairman of the company was de tained by domestic affliction from occupying his usual place, and then called on The SECRETARY, who, after reading the advertisement convening the meeting, read the report of the directors for the last half-year, ending the 2d July instant. It stated that M. De Grandvoir, an eminent engineer of the Belgian Cores des Pouts et Chausseds, having been ap pointed in the place of their late resident engineer, had devoted his whole time and attention with great effi ciency in completing the laying out of the line, and in pressing forward the works; and his plans and drawings, which had been submitted to Mr. Robert Stephenson, and 'approved of, had subsequently passed the exa mination of the Conseil des Pouts et Chaussdes without tilteratioa, It theca referred to the reports PETITION. "To the Honourable the Commons of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. " The humble petition of Thomas Brodigan, of Piltown House, in the county of Meath, " Showeth,—That petitioner having a desire to visit Syria and Palestine, left this country in November last, under a foreign-office passport, which he had ',hid at Athens by the British Ambassador, and by that of the Sublime Porte. That on landing at Beyrout he had it further vised by. Colonel Rose, the British Consul-General. That in addition he procured a firman from his Excellency Kiamed Pacha, the Turkish Governor-General of Syria, and was thus perfectly en regle. "That thus supported by ambassadorial, consular, and vice-regal authority, petitioner reached Jerusalem during the Holy week, for the purpose of witnessing the religious cere monies of the Latin clergy in common with the numerous European Christians there assembled. That on the sacred occasion of the ceremonies of Good Friday, petitioner joined in the religious procession, and had proceeded to the chapel on Mount Calvary, which contained a great number of per sons of the Greek Church. That when the vicar president of the Latin convent and his clergy had moved in front of the spot where our Saviour had been crucified, an objection was made by some of the Greeks present to the removal of the cloth that covered the marble table, which stands over the hole in the rock in which the cross was inserted. That there is a hole in the table corresponding with that in the rock be neath, and, unless the cloth that covered the table were're moved, it was impossible that the cross carried in the Latin procession could be inserted in the rock according to ancient custom. That such objection amounted to a virtual defeat of the ancient right of the Latins to use the left, or Greek side of the chapel on that occasion. " That petitioner was standing close to this table when the Greeks interrupted the service by their objections and their clamours. The. Latin clergy asse r t e d th e i r r i g h t to proceed as usual, an d from high words blows were given, which ended in a general engagement. That petitioner, having no wish to interfere, was pushed forward by the Greeks from behind, and was thus thrown into the midst of the fight, where he came in fora share of the. blows of the contending parties; that he was grievously assaulted, and., Kith difficulty, extricated himself in an almost fainting condition. That in the violence of thesonfliet, knives were Used, wounds were inflicted, and petitioner's life seriously endangered. " That there were present a good many British subjects, ladies and gentlemen; that this sudden attack filled them with horror and consternation ; that many of them were r assaulted equally with petitioner, and all were outraged to an indescribable degree by the desecration of a place so sacred in the estimation of Christians of every denomina tion. " That this fight was only quelled by military force; that the numerous guards on duty in the chapel being unable to keep the peace, an express was sent to his Excellency Mamoud Pacha, who promptly attended at the head of a battalion of 600 men, and it was this force alone that sepa rated the combatants. That had his Excellency not been so prompt, there is no knowing the extent to which life might have been lost ; for the tocsin of the Greeks, and that of the Latins, was sounding, calling on the respective nations to the combat and the rescue. " That petitioner has heard that such scones of violence and barbarity are of frequent occurrence, and had he insti -1 cipated such an outrage he would not have gone to Jerusalem at that season, however strong his desire to witness the theatre of man's redemption during the anniversary and celebration. That this liability to assault and personal injury will amount to an interdidt against the visit of Christians of distant nations, where the free access to the Holy Sepulchre is secured by the treaties of Christian princes with the Sublime Porte. "That the King of the French is the protector of the con vents and Christians in the East; that his Majesty is their especial guardian ; and on this responsibility of the great and powerful nation of France, Christians of all countries have hitherto visited the Holy Land in the full confidence of pro tection from outrage or personal injury. "That petitioner has shown that this protection is inade quate; that the Latin clergy are assaulted and interrupted in the pa: formance of their sacred ministry, on the most sacred spot, and most solemn occasion. " That effective means must be resorted to by the Sublime Porte for their protection, through a separation of the sects in their respective ceremonies, and that the civil governor of Jerusalem must be invested with and made to exercise a more repressive anthority. " Your petitioner, therefore, humbly prays of this Honour able House to take such measures as will secure the fulfil ment of the various treaties securing to Christians of every denomination a safe and free access to the Holy Sepulchre. History proclaims that this freedom of access was established through the chivalrous blood of England in the Crusades, and petitioner prays that through the peaceful agency of diplomatic interference British subjects visiting Jerusalem and the Holy Land may be hereafter protected from outrages similar to that of which he was a witness. " And petitioner will ever pray. (Signed) " THOMAS BRODIGAN." " On board the Egyptus, May 11, 1846. "My Rev. Father,—ln common with all other Christians who were at Jerusalem, I was very much grieved at the de secration which took place in the chapel of Mount Calvary, in the church of St. Sepulchre, last Good Friday. "It was a circumstance much to be regretted by all pro fessing Christianity that such a sacred place should have been profaned in so deplorable a manner. I sincerely desire to see an end put to these differences between the Greeks and Ca tholics, and it appears to me possible that a religious and po litical influence might be exercised in order to arrange the rights of each worship, to separate their ceremonies, and thus to put a stop to their differences. whirl] that took plice, and 1 rely upon your goodness to favour me —:(z. .it the details, in wriiing, of this unhappy affair.

"To Father Gio Battista da Mondovi, of the Order of Capuchins." (Translation from the Italian.) " On board the Egyptus, May 11, 1846. "My most Illustrious and most Worshipful Mr. Thomas-- I hereby hasten to give you as concise a description as possible of the sanguinary, horrible, and scandalous tragedy premiditated and concocted by the religious portion of the schismatic Greeks, in concert with their Patriarch, and the Greek consul of the Morea resident at Jaffa, against the Catholics, and particularly against the person of the Very Rev. Father Paolo, commissioner apostolic of the Holy Land from Moretta, which took place on the evening of Good Friday, in the very site where the Divine Redeemer deigned to tulfil the redemption of the human race. On the said evening the procession commenced front the church of the Minor Fathers superintending the Holy Land, and residing in the Holy Sepulchre. There a brief but fervent panegyric oration, adapted to the procession and ceremony, was recited in the Italian language, and at the usual stations several other orations were successively delivered in divers languages ; that is, the second one in French, the third in Polish, the fourth in Greek, and this last at the very site of the Crucifixion. This being over, an other one in Italian w as about to commence , after which the ceremony of the placing of the cross on the altar (where the hole isravhich the cross was fixed with Christ crucified is to be seen) was about to be performed; but, lo! the riotous and seditious Greeks—a faithless and irreligious people—not knowing how otherwise to interrupt so beautiful, mysterious, and in every respect touching ceremony, infringed the ancient established custom, not only by their presence, but what is still worse, by placing on the said altar a carpet and a lighted candle, a circumstance never known before. In consequence of which the Catholic sexton, after having begged of the Greek sexton to remove the said two obnoxious articles, and having seen him absolutely pertinacious in wishing them to remain where they were, such being his instructfons from the Patriarch, he (the Catholic sexton) at length, after find ing that all entreaties proved ineffectual, resolved to take them away himself, which he did. Scarcely had this taken place when a mob of Greek priests and pilgrims burst forth from the side of the chapel, all of them armed, some with daggers, some with sticks, some with whips, and others with stones, which were all used against the Catholic fathers of the Holy Land; and, what is still more remarkable, in the height of the conflict a voice was raised, exclaiming, " Lay hands, lay hands on the Papa !" that is, "Kill, kill the Father Superior !" who stood in the midst of the chapel, clad in his pontifical robes, and at this instant a Greek pr kill bins with the spikes of the same, and the attempt m.D., N th a e s p Ca r e t h s e o n l c , fathers of the holy Land, together with the secular pil gr i ms, rushed against the saidfather superior with a candlestick, to certainly have succeeded had not M.

No sooner had matters been allayed by the Pasha in person, than the ceremony recommenced without further interruption, both in the chapel of the Calvary and the Uction Stone, as well as in the chapel of the Holy Sepulchre; and although, by the grace and help of Gcd, the Greek rebels suffered more in this conflict than the Catholic fathers in defending themselves, it would, however, be highly laudable and honourable if some t check were put to such like continual disturbances caused by Greeks, and which are even scandalous to the Turks them selves.
