ROWLAND and SON, 20, lIATTON-GA RD EN, LONDON. Whettley Lodge, near Taunton. Gentlemen,— I consider it almost an imperative duty to state the valuable efficacy of your most excellent MACASSAR OIL. For the last fifteen years I have been bald, occasioned by a most dreadful fever whilst in India. I have used almost every moans to procure a head of hair again, but all my efforts seemed fruitless, uutil, acci dentally, a friend advised the me of your valuable Hair Restorer, (I can give it no better name,) and after using a 3s. ad bottle, every Symptom of a new head of hair began to show Itself, to the surprise of both myself and family. I resolved on having another, and ob alned another bottle, and, before the whole of which was used, I had, and have now, as handsome a head of hair as ever man en joyed, and I earnestly recommend all who have not tried this most excellent Oil, will not fail to do so. I am, Sirs, your most grateful and obedient servant, J. WALKER, Colonel.

Even under a ma nagement t h at h as been remarkable for the vigour an d success o f i ts endeavours e to e render ka nethe personal sancti on an d encouragemen t o f the Sovereign, the sport worthy o f a meet i ng th a t alone ht reb le Ascot never offered so brilliant a series of competition as on the present occasion—and_ h n on never, prizes for perhaps, was a strong li s t b e tt e r timed. Had it been the feature—the presence of th e Q ueen — wou ld h ave b een iee m e e e agr rt e he s teathlee thatmee meeting, lacking muster in it e t he most late a r t e t i r g a n e t s, i v i e t barren and unprofitable. The events spread over the four days are thirty-three in number, varied in character, rich in amount, and in the public merits of the animals engaged, so open, as to make their results a fruitful source of speculation and prophecy. The amateur racing is a new feature in the programme, in which the only flaw is the small number of acceptances for the two classes of the Ascot Stakes run yesterday. The handicappers do not appear to have been happy, either iu the classification of the horses, or in the measure they have taken of their capa bilities. We should not omit to refer to Friday, as ex hibiting a proof of sterling improvement. Formerly it was a day after the feast in the fullest sense of the phrase ; it will now be a feast of itself, the engagements, including the munificent prize given by the Great Wes tern Railway Company, being seven in number, with a certainty of at least one extra class of the Wokingham. We can, therefore, promise those who have missed the first day, and are not disposed to encounter the crush at the station, or the vicissitudes of the road on Thursday, that on either of the " off" days they may rely upon a profusion of excellent sport. The arrangements on the heath, and of matters incident to the racing, are much the same as last year. One or two exceptions, however, should be noticed. In the first place, Mr. Oxley, of Windsor, has been re appointed the " official" printer of the li,ts, and has proved the wisdom of the change, by shifting his,-stAlishatent _to the course, and issuing his bulletins (witli two exceptions, and those not the fault of the printer), free from the numberless errors and omissions so conspicuous last year. Mr. Clark, of course, fills the " judgment-seat, " but the weighing is now under the care of Mr. Manning, and Mr. Hibbard succeeds Mr. Charles Davis as Starter, an addition to his manifold duties as clerk of the course more acceptable to the owners of the horses, we should imagine, than to himself. The course, from the judicious use of guano and other manures, is well covered with grass, and in an infinitely better condition than any one could have expected, from the late hot weather—better, in fact, than it ever was know. With such powerful intrinsic recommendations it cannot be doubted that the meeting will be brilliantly successful. Immense numbers left town by the afternoon trains on Monday, and on reachinc, the scene of action 4 ppropriated. The symp we found that every bed, box, and stall within a circle ecided : the weather until o to f m five y e miles d a o y f thew were Heath, nete e w 4 a it s late in the afternoon wag Very favourable, and the at tendance, if for an obvious reason it did not attain the maximum of a first day, was numerous and fashionable.

The racing detailed below combined the grand essen tials—abundance and quality. The first event came off at half-past one, and as there was a long list to get through, the usual half-hour intervals were advertised. Owing, however, to three or four smart showers after the fourth race, the order of running could not be strictly observed, and it was a quarter past six o'clock before the last race was over; it may be questioned if the convenience of all parties would not be consulted by an earlier commencement. Tie following are particulars of the sport:— Th e Trial Stakes of 5 sow. each, with 50 added; two yrs old, 4st 41b; three, 7st 41b; four, Bst 71b; five, 9st; six and aged, 9st 31b. New mile.

Khondooz went off with the lead, and, as if resolved to cut his horses down at starting--increased his lead so much, that at the top turn he was seven or eight lengths in advance, nor was there any sensible diminution in his advanced lead until they neared the last turn; Grimstone, Corranna, and the Peri colt then joined him, and they ran in company, clea r o f t h e other horses, to the distance.

At the close of Mr. Hamilton's address, each officer and private received from the hand of the Resident his medal: Owing to the immense number to be given, the shades of evening had set in before the distribution was ended. This interesting ceremony being over, the` troops marched past, and proceeded to their respective lines. A dinner was given to the Resident by Colonel Woodburn, C. 8., and a grand ball took place at the mess-room, at which all at and around Mhow were as sembled. Preparations for the march of the Bombay: troop s are in active progress, but it is feared they will be subjected to great inconvenience, owing to the great scarcity of water below the Ghauts. Colonel finish,' C. 8., and Major Jones, arrived at Mhow on the 23d instant, from Bombay. DIVISION OF PROFITS.

A meeting of the friends of Mr. R. L. Jones took place on Monday at the Egyptian-hall of the Mansion house, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair. Amongst those present we observed Alderman Thomp son, M.P. ; and Aldermen Hooper, Wood, Challis, Musgrove, Mr. Richard Thornton, Mr. Jas. Hutchinson. Mr. Philip Green, Mr. John Den', Mr. Henry Tritton, Mr. Llewellyn, from the house of Truman and Co. ; Thomas Procter, the City Chamberlain, the Common Sergeant, and must of the members of the Court of Common Council. Letters were read from Sir Robert Stnirke, Mr. John Masterman, M.P., and others, apolo gising for their absence, but heartily approving of the: object of the meeting. The LORD MAYOR briefly opened the business of the day by observing that the time had arrived when a due sens e of, the public services and private character of his friend Richard Lambert Jones bad induced his friends and the public to meet for the purpose of recording in a t.ipin(emrpmeosratntaoennt his a m tn.e a di n l o n iw e n r c cr t ie h tai n s n e gs n s eas and rdevni to c t e e t t a h i re n e e n d pdu o ebr e f t d im ailty g la re rmg a er t,.. lic For upwards of twenty-three years Mr. Jones had, as o fo Chairman of va r i ous Committee= -9 improved the streets, En of L un c atins London-bridge c eonv.larrgtehde therebuilding co Exchange, and vari ous other importa g n e t .e improvementsa Thend p r e R s o i d y e a d l had been carried out by his energy, talents, and inde fatigable exertions.—(Cheers.) For these reasons, he thought tha titre •was arrived when he but echoed the sentiments of the public in saying that now all would join in doing honour to services so eminent and rendered so disinterestedly.—(Cheers.) Alderman TnomPsoti, M.P.; rose to move - ttie first solution. "It afforded him, he declared, great pleasiire to meet with those who had assembled for such g pur pose.—(Hear, hear.) He had often thought that the corporation had neglected their duty in not having, while Mr. Jones was amongst them, done something to his honour, but as that had not been done, he thought it was necessary for the public to come forward and do honour to such high public exertions as had been made for the advantage of London by that able and zealous friend of the citizens. He regretted .that he could not in a short speech express the obligations which, as a mer chant, an alderman, and a citizen, he owed to Mr. Jones.--(Loud cheers.) To him this great city owed much. Its bridge, inconvenient, old, and dangerous, had been replaced by an elegant structure, the admiration of all, and in every respect highly beneficial to commerce. The streets had been widened and improved, and new streets had been opened. A new Exchange had been erected, and notwithstar.ding all the vast outlays occasioned by these improvements the finances of the Corporation had sustained no dimi nution. Much of all this had bccn done by the advice and under the superintendence of Mr. Jones, and to that excellent individual he was satisfied his fellow citizens owed a debt of lasting gratitude. He cheerfully moved the resolution. RICHARD THORNTON, E.sq., seconded the resolution, in a neat but energetic speech, in which he dilated on the service rendered by Mr. Jones, and concurred in the sentiments of his friend, Mr. Alderman Thompson, which was put and carried unanimously. PHILIP GREEN, E<q , moved the next resolution, and in so doing said, even on grounds of honesty, Mr. Jones 4as entitled to praise, for before the removal of old London-bridge many accidents had occurred, but he had not heard of one since the new structure had‘ been erected. JA3IES HUTCHINSON seconded the resolution in a speech full of ability. JOHN DENT, Esq., moved the third resolution, and said that as a neighbour and a friend and a citizen, he perfectly concurred in all that had been said of Mr. Jones's services, arid was glad to find that others as well as himself appreciated public service, rendered with such a cheerful spirit.—(Hcar, hear.) Alderman Ca.u..us said he was glad to find that public attention had been directed to the subject. He felt assured the best way to reward public men was to give them public honour. Benefactors to their race were entitled to praise ; and he was glad to find, in the life-time of Mr. Jones, his fellow citizens were doing themselves honour by honouring one who had worked well for the public.—(Great applause.) Several other addresses were made by Mr. Chamber lain Brown, the Common Sergeant, Alderman Wood, John Dillon, Esq. (of the firm of Morrison, Dillon, and Co.) and others ; and, after an unanimous vote of (hanks had been passed to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the meeting separated, but not until every one present had put down his name as a subscriber. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the Landon New Price Current of June 9.) SUGAlL—Although there were sellers of all descriptions of West India Muscovadoe Sugar, at a reduction on the rates of Friday of 6d per cwt, still the trade were even less inclined to operate, and the demand for Refining as well as for Gro cery purposes was rather limited. REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were much sought after by the home trade, but few parcels were to be had. Bonded Crushed Sugar met with ready purchasers and higher rates were paid. Mannmus.—This afternoon there was no public sale of Mauritius Sugar, and the small parcels disposed of privately were at barely former prices. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon cf Bengal Sugar 3743 bags at public sale were sold at a decline on former rates of 6d to Is for white, and brown quality 6d per cwt cheaper. FOREIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 100 barrels, 3 cases of Bahia Sugar were sold at stiffer rates, very fine yellow at 21s, fine brown 20s to 20s 6d, middling 18s, and low at 17s 6d; 103 brls of Bahia Rapadura taken in at 16s. COFFEE.—This afterncon three parcels of Ceylon Coffee, amounting to 2176 bags, were brought to public sale; mer chants were inclined to realise, but submitting to a reduction on former rates of 6d to is for Native and 6d per cwt for Plantation caused the whole to find buyers. TEA.—In Congou purchases to a fair extent have been made, Out holders are unable to obtain any advance in prices, they accept 9d to 90 for common sound cash, and 10d to I Oid for good corn ; there is a fair quantity of all kinds on offer. In Pouchong several sales have been made, but holders are compelled to accept 4d to 6d for low to middling, and 7d to 9d for good to fine. Ilyson is wanted upon former terms. For Twankay former rates are insisted upon, but there has been little passing. RICE.—To-day Bengal Rice was sought after, but holders iesisting upon a further advance, operated against business, and at public sale the sound of 3,723 bags were taken in at 12s 6d for good middling and good white, being above the value; there were buyers at former rates; the damaged, submitted t o 7 809 however, sold. to i u gn n amounted , S p P u i li c li m e s. c —To -day taken wets Is the great quantity, but the prices et . t g y ei of a C nd assi a a m L o chests, the whole sold and fair market rates were obtained, Is to 2s under those that previously existed. Srni .—Since Tuesday last, the arrivals of all descrip tions of Rum have been small, whereas the home and export deliveries are large; still t he stock is greater than it was last year, and prices are higher for every ki n d . Jamaica has met with little attention from exporters and the home trade, but holders generally are unwilling to reduce their prices. There is still a fair quantity offering for sale, but it consists chiefly of the inferior sorts. Demerara being wanted prices rule firm, purchasers to a fair ex tent have been made, and 3s to 3s 4d paid for ctehretifipeaarctee,lswshoieldh is w a er g e ain at hig l h s er l , is l a l d les p s roo q a f an w t i i t t h y strong descriptions. Calcutt a h as b een sought after, and d there is offering for sale. Leeward Island has been sought after, but fur ther advanced rates insisted upon. Brandy is offered on fur ther reduced terms; still there has been very little business transacted by exporters and the home trade, and a further increase has taken place in the stock. The value of English Gin is 8s 10d for 22 under, and 17 under 9s 4d per gallon, but the demand is far from active for any of these articles. 0114.—A. further decline has taken place in the value of' all qualities of S , uthern Oil, the market continuing to be well supplied ; but parcels offered at public sale amount ing to 211 tuns were all disposed of. Cod is little wanted, and 281 to 281 5s are the rates taken ; the suppy ea a l t present isii is small. The accounts come to hand fromthe_ of Oil not being being very unfavourable, the productiono asioned a much better g expected to exceed 2,000 tuns, occasioned 20s to 40s per tun demand here, and prices have 1 r of, chiefly for home several parcels baying been disposed_ has b een in excellent request on the con sumption. Linseed Oil trade, and further export orders have been executed; spot by the home conseque nce of the small supply, buyers h ave been compelled in n to pay advanced rates. All kinds of Rape Seed ca Oil nbe obtained upon lower terms. Coc oa N u t h as been disposed of to a fair extent. Palm has been in excel lent demand, and the supply being much less than it was, holders easily obtain former rates. TA nnow.—Hol ders of Russian are unwilling to reduce their prices on the spot and supply the market sparingly, but the purchases made have been extremely limited, and 42s 3d to 42s 6d per cwt are the rates taken for fine Petersburg yellow Candle duty paid. At aurtion 166 casks of Odessa were bought in at 41s. For delivery in the last three months of the year there are sellers at 41s to 42s 3d in bocci,. still few contracts have been entered into, and there is a desLre to sell at those rates. Home made Tallow being abundant, 40s Gd have been accepted nett cash, but the demand has been very good. Australian has slightly declined in value. DISTRIBUTION OF THE MEANEE AND HYDERABAD MEDALS. Mrtow, MARCH 25.—The 24th being the anni versary of the battle of Hyderabad, was selected for the distribution of the medals granted to the 25th Bombay Native Infantry for the battles of Meanee and Hydera bad. The whole brig a d e were d rawn out in review order at 5 P.M., and a large assembly of the beauty and fashion were collected around the flag. The Resident at Indore, Mr. R. N. C. Hamil , on, having been requested to dis tribute the medals, arrived on the ground at the ap pointed hour. attended by his escort and suite ; on his approach a salute was fired, and the line presented arms ; after passing down the line, the troops were formed into columns and closed up. The Resident then advancing addressed them in an animated speech, of which the fol lowing is, we believe, a pretty correct copy:— " Lieutenant-Colonel Woodburn, officers and non commissionod officers and privates of the 25th Bombay N.L,—when I wt.s invited to be present upon this occasion, I lit:le expected that I should be either than a mere spectator of a most interestin' scene, bnt nheu I was asked to take a part in it I felt that a high distinc tion had been conferred upon me in making me the in strument by which the decorations granted by the Supreme Government to this gallant regiment should be distributed.

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 everyliving crea ture able to undurstani 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 owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue 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 knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, a w n i d th fin d al eg l e y n b e Lt t h e e hem cultivation th,th emoif. mind as consistent faculties, well a sthe w ibilocdllyi is in. be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the higt es t of God's creations.

(Further extracts from the American Papers.) has just reEcLePivileidA'theELfoll i lN in o g 'Cr elogr ac, ap r h .m io .— di T sp b a e to A h A merican W sbington correspondent, dated three P.M. I can now peak of the important news I sent last night. The 50,000 volunteers will be all called out, and 23,000 will be marchtd into the field as soon as they can be concentrated. General Scott will proceed to take command of the war. The requi sitions have been forwarded to-date, and are nearly as fol lows:—lndiana, 3 regiments; Illinois, 33; Kentucky, 3; Tennessee, 3; and some others. The residue of the 50,000 will be kept as a reserve. They will be mustered into the service so as to be ready for orders in a moment. Mark me, this will b e a successful and short war. " The reports tat went o u t t hi s morning, as to intelligence of the cap ture h de of within the e b l a a b s hour,etare without e statedto foundation. distinguished T u a h The senator, that nothing had come from the camp later than before the public. FROM MEXICO, VERA CRUZ, Br, The brig Josephi ne , C apta i n Robinson, arrived . at Orleans on the Bth u lt., w i t h t h ree days later news - V C e e r w a Cruz, by which we learn th a t th ere h ad been no new revolu tion. The rumoured rising i n f avour o f Santa Anna had not taken place. A report was current that General Alvarez had pronounced in the south, in favour of a federal repub lic, with a triumvirate meantime consisting of Generals Santa Anna, Herrera, and Rincon. The New Orleans Times says:—They seem to be expect ing war at Vera Cruz, but not making any. While the mouth of the Rio del Norte is strictly blockaded by our fleet, as is well known at Vera Cruz, our merchant vessels load at the latter port, and bring off their cargoes unquestioned. Persons who left Vera Cruz in the latter part of last month represent the people of that city as quite prepared for a war with the United States. The military force of the place was daily increasing. The grand castle of San Juan d'Ulloa was in admirable order of defence, well mounted, well provisioned, the guns manned with French and English gunners, and the whole force amounting to about 3,000 men. The stores of shot and ammunition of all kinds, though large, was still from time to time added to, everything betokening 1-repara tion for siege. If all these statements be true. it would seem that the Mexicans are determined to make one place at least worth the trouble of taking. The schooner William C. Preston, bound to Matamoros, has returned with her cargo, having been orEered off by the United States brig Lawrence, which maintains strictly the blockade of that river. The whole Mexican naval force was still up the Alvarado, including the two steamers said to have been sold, either to the Spanish Government, or to an English house. The only American vessels of war at Sacraficios was the John Adams; the others had gone to sea. There were also an English, a French, and a Spanish vessel of war at anchor there (names not recollected). The English steamer Tweed was to sail for Havannah the day after Capt. Roberts left (the 27th). The only American merchant vessel in port was the Silvia, Gardner, from New Orleans, which had discharged, and would sail for Havannah in four days. In the Diario appears a letter from Canales to Ampudia, of which we offer a few paragraphs, as precious specimens of Mexican vanity. The letter is dated the sth April from* Matamoros " The United States army is encamped on the left bank of the Rio Bravo. Slight fortifications have been thrown up in front, or rather large ditches have been dug, the earth of which has been used for entrenchments. " I have redoubled my efforts to attack the enemy morally, and flatter myself that I have succeeded, for deserters are daily swelling our ranks. I have thirty-five thus far; six were drowned, &c. " I have inspired such terror in the foe that they know not what to do, convinced as they are that they cannot leave their camp without heavy loss. and exposing themselves to defeat. " These few lines will enable you to appreciate the advan tages of a prompt arrival, before Taylor has time to receive reinforcements, and be enabled to make a vigorous resist ance. The triumph is certain to-day—to-morrow it must be disputed. " CANALES." Another letter from Mejia declares " that General Taylor is compelled to employ one-half his army in preventing the other half from deserting!" NEW ORLEANS, MAY 9. Volunteering is proceeding here with all alacrity, bat there is no clothing or arms ready for the men al rea dy o ff ere d . A strange mismana gemen t o f the War Department has been permitted, else the want of equipment and the military stores received here cannot be accounted for. The Mexican force on this side of the Rio Grande is 3,ooo—half are above and half below General Taylor's camp. Thus communication is effectually cut off until our volunteers open it. Taylor is about out of the regular provisions of the army, but has 700 head of cattle in camp. The New Orleans Delta, May 9, says that 954 soldiers, rank and file, have received the amount of their bounty money and one month's pay; that 186 men, rank and file, now in barracks, will receive their pay to-day; andthat 708 men, comprised in different companies, are now ready for in spection, and to be mustered into the service of the United States. Including the latter, there are 1,848 men who may be regarded as ready for service, up to last night. The com panies expected from the country, and those still forming in the city, may make up the requisite number. We take the following from a New Orleans paper of May 9:—The steamer Hannibal arrived last night from St. Louis, brought down from Jefferson barracks a portion of the Ist In fantry, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Wilson. They number 242 non-commissioned officers, musicians, and privates. _ It appears that Louisiana's quota of soldiers called for by General Taylor must be raised by conscription,and the order has already gone forth from head-quarters at New Orleans, to " cause an accurate enrolment to be made of all persons subject to military duty within the state, with a view to an immediate draft of troops." It seems from the following pa ragraph, which we clip from a New Orleans paper, that the patriotism of some who had already enlisted "oozed out at the ends of their fingers," or some other place, just as they were on the point of embarkation for the " seat of war :" " CAPTAIN BLANCHARD.—This gentleman, regularly edu cated in the Military Academy, and who served eleven years in the army, has been actively engaged in raising a company of volunteers, but when he thought he was ready yesterday, more than one-half were found to have deserted his flag. This is not creditable conduct, and is one among the many instances which have occurred to show that a draft for troops in the first place would have been much better. As to Mr. Blanchard, there are few who have higher qualifica tions to lead a company into the field, and it of►rds us pleasure to see such an old citizen and esteemed officer again offer to take his sword in defence of the country. We really hope that thoAe who have volunteered under him, and others wishing to volunteer, will come forward and behave as men should do." At Baltimore, a company of 200 men has been organised for the Rio Grande. Captain J. E. Stewart has been chosen temporarily to the command, and will probably be elected Captain. Between sixty and seventy have enrolled them selves in Richmond, Va., and elected Edward Carrington as their Captain. COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday a Court was held fur the dispatch of businass. THE KING OF THE FRENCH AND THE CORPORATION OF LONDON. The LORD MAYOR read the following letter, which he received from the King of the French, in answer to the ardresses voted to his Majesty upon the occasion of the late attempt upon his life. Neuilly, May 16, 1846. MY LORD MAYOR—I have to request your Lordship to convey'to the Court of Aldermen, and to the Court of Common Council of the City of London, the deep sense of gratification with which I acknowledge the addresses they have voted to me on the occasion of the late attempt upon my life. Impressed as I am, with the importance so justly attached to the manifestations of your great metropolis, I duly appreciate this signal testimony both of their high esteem and friendly dis position towards my nation and country, and of their good will towards myself and my family. The many tokens of kindness and the hospitality I have received among yiu, at various periods of my long career, have left an indelible impression on my mind and on my heart. I aml grateful to hear from you, that you do justice to my constant and unceasing efforts to promote the good understinding and friendly inter course between France and England. It is with the sincerest satisfaction that I see the progress of this policy spreading more and more, under the protection of Divine Providence, its beneficial effects not only in both our countries, but over all the world, where the advan- tages of that pacific policy are daily better felt and more justly appreciated. It is with the gracious concurrence of uty august friend and ally, your beloved Sovereign, that I request your Lordship to convey this expression of my feelings, not only in my own name, but also in the name of the Queen and of all the members of my family, to the Court of Aldermen and to the Common Council of the City of London. My Lord Mayor, your affectionate, LOUIS PHILIPPE. Alderman RUMPRERY rose to move that the letter, which reflected such honour on the heart and under standing of the Ring of the French, should be treated with signal marks of respect.—(Cheers.) It is a docu ment of the highest value, and he should propose that after the Lord Mayor should have read it to the Court of Common Council it be deposited in a box, and placed in the library of the Corporation. He (Alderman Humphrey) had with great pride and grati fication witnessed, in the kingdom over which his Majesty presided, the high respect and cordial feeling of hospitality with which his Majesty received the members of the Corporation who had had the honour of waiting upon him.—(Cheers.) It was impossible to hear the fervent wish of his Majesty for the continuation of the pacific relations of the world, without admiration of the glorious terms in which that feeling was expressed, and an anxious hope that his Majesty might long and happily reign over the great people he so prosperously and happily governed.—(Cheers.) Alderman Humphery then submitted a motion to the effect described in his speech.—(Great applause.) Sir PETER LAURIE seconded the motion. The exam ple set by the King of the French was one which was indeed' worthy of imitation. Rendering the most glo rious services to his own country by promoting the acts of peace, that great monarch contributed largely to the good of all mankind, by exhibiting the affectionate ferl ing with which he contemplated the happy symptoms of the continued existence of peace and good-will amongst his fellow -creatures.— (Cheers.) The citizens of Lon don would be delighted with perusing a document, which alluded in such terms of kindness and affection to their own beloved Sovereign, who, as it were, sanctioned and recommended his Maj«-sty's most gracious acknow ledgment.—(Cheers.) The motion was then unanimously, and amidst loud acclamations, agreed to. THE GOLDSMITHS' COMPANY AND THE SPECTACLE MAKERS' COMPANY. A gentleman, who was entitled to the freedom of the Goldsmiths' Company, having applied to be allowed to take his freedom up in the Spectacle-makers' Company instead of the company in which he had the claim, Alderman COPELAND rose to express his disapproba tion of such a course, and requested to be informed whether the applicant hal made any application for admission to the Goldsmiths' Company ?—The appli cant - replied in the negative. ‘. Alderman COPELAND could not see that, possessing the right which the applicant had to take up his freedom in the Goldsmiths' Company,he was at all warranted in coming to the Court in such a matter. The applicant said, his reason for not wishing to belong to the Goldsmiths' Company was, that there was an insurmountable difficulty in obtaining it in that com pany, and he did not know any company more suitable to his purpose. SWORN AND lINSWORN BROKERS. When the Court was occupied in the examination of gentlemen who appeared at the bar to be sworn in as brokers, Alderman COPELA.ND took occasion to observe upon he ineffectual eff )rts he had been for a length of time n the habit of making, to prevent the commission of 'raud in . the business transicted by br o ke rs , an d h e ex .. pressed his regret that there appeared to be no chance of making any reform by the interposition of that Court. After a few observations from Alderman Wilson, Sir Peter Laurie, Alderman Challis, and others, it was or dered, that with the view to the better protection of the public, a list of the brokers sworn in by the Court of Aldermen should be regularly transmitted to the Bank of England. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Alderman WILSON presented the annual report of those most useful officers the inspectors of the weights and measures of the city of London. It stated, that al though the visits of the inspectors to the tradespeople were by one-sixth more numerous than those of las year, the number of the informations laid within the year was smaller. The following is the sum of the complaints made by the inspectors. It is hoped that some remedy will be applied to the evil, which is one of greater magnitude than it is generally considered to be: — The poor are defrauded frequently by those trades people who have their goods weighed in packets for their customers—viz., flour by the bakers; tea, sugar, cocoa, &c., by the grocers; snuff and tobacco, &c., by the tobacconists; candles, starch, blue, &c., by the oil men." The practice of some coal dealers is to use small weigh►s in their machines, in order to confine their customers who may require say half a hnndredweight of coal. They . will use 281 b., 141 h., and 71b., and thus ingnage to give 71b. short weight, as was proved before the Police Committee a few days ago. The inspectors are constantly coming in contact with cases of the kind, but they cannot interfere. The report was referred to the Gen( ral Purposes Committee.—Adjourned.

From a communicatio n d ate d "L erw i c k , 25th Mayr,;, in the John 0' Groat J ourna l o f Friday h l e as h i e t ti a a p n p d e e as rs. that famine is sp rea di ng rap idl y m We sincerely trust th a t p u bli c a syrn or At t hy wilt be ex tended towards the sufferers without loss of time. Th e followi ng i s p ar t o f th e communication alluded to : o want and misery are now written on many a face, where, till now, such had not been seen ; and, if not promptly relieved in some way or other, there is great reason to fear that, during the summer, and before the crops can come on so far as to be made available, even in a half-ripe state, for the pressing wants of the popu lation, cases of death, from actual starvation, will be neither few nor rare. During the years 1837.38-39, well named the bad years,' the want of food, through these islands, was not greater than it is at the present time. At this moment individuals are known to the writer of this who have not tasted bread for a whole week ; and others who have neither tasted bread nor meal, in any shape, for periods varying from ten to fif teen days ; who, when they had scraped together the sum necessary, had to take their bags under their arms, and travel di s t ances of from six to eighteen miles—z a .. land mil es , too—before they could p to procure thsm et. e quantity o f meal which they were able p u rchase and that, t oo, at a most exorbitant price.
