VIENNA, OCT. 4.—The accounts received here yes. terday from respecting the health of his Imperial Highness the Archduke °Aine were satisfactory, and authorise the hope that the patient will shortly recover. A great sensation is caused here by a sentence which has been published against an officer of high rank, (G. S***), for embezzling a private deposit entrusted to him, which is, to be broken with disgrace. He had ap pealed against the sentence, but all the higher courts confirmed the first sentence. FRONTIERS OF GALICIA.—Mr. Von Meciszewski, the well-known propagator and inventor of the groundless. or entirely misrepresented article, which the Breslau journals hare given to the world, respecting the affair. of Galicia, has been arrested at Cracow, and called to the bar of justice, in the very fact of distributing sedi tious writings. l'Eszir, OCT. 12 . —According to the Pesth Gazette, the long -projected work for connecting the course of the Theiss are now commenced in good earnest at Cson grad ; 30,000 workmen are already employed. It i, likewise proposed to drain the marshes of Aliburnai and Illamse, by means of a canal into the Tiaras. near Lsgordorf. By the execution of this plan, 60,000 acre. of the most fertile land will be gained, capable of p ro . ducing annually 40,000 bushels of wheat. - VIENNA, OCT. 12.—We learn from Klansenburg, that a spirit of moderation and calmness prevails in the Diet, and that even a great portion of what are called the young members, are gradually laying aside their turbulent character which was formerly CO intolerably, fill the thefir first royal proposition, e and beginning to assume a gloomy a pp earance. The Estates been th the hitherto cicct ion o fp engagedrso t t o h offices which have become vacant, and though several candidates of .the opposition have been chosen, yet by far the greater part of the persons elected consist of mo derate and Conservative principles. In a representation to the Sovereign, on the election of the High Chan cAlor, the Estates express their humble wish that his Majesty may have regard in the nomination to the ma jority of votes, and also to the creed of candidate, that the chief offices may not be filled, contrary to the laws of the kingdom, with members of the same confession of faith (Count Teleki, the Governor of Transylvania, and Baron Kemem, the President of the Diet, are both Protestants), and that a Diet may bo annually held in Transylvania, according to the spirit of the law. It is understood that the Diet will adjourn for some weeks, during the vintage, and when it meets again will immediately proceed to the Urbarium. OCTOBER 19.—A petition is in circulation at Mons, requesting the magistrates of the city to adopt measures fur lowering the price of meat, and points out two plans as likely to bring about the result. The first is to give permission to butchers to have stalls in the vegetable market as formerly; the second is, to prohibit them from buying up the provision of other butchers as they enter the town, as in the case with other articles of food. We are happy to see that, conjointly with the dear ness of provisions, the temperature still continues so mild as to permit the labours in the open fields to be carried on. The labourer profits by it and economises, for he foresees and fears the continuation of the present high prices of provisions; he does not yet require fire, and this circumstance has a favourable influence upon the price of this indispensable article of commerce. If Providence preserves us from a very rigorous winter, there is hope that we may be spared the realisation of those melancholy prospects which now agitate many minds. of H IL ORSERADIS—Arriong the numerous articles importation, th e pro d uct i on o f f ore i gn soils, now taking place fr om a ll parts, e i ther for the first time, or in such qo intitie s as unt il t hi s season was unknown, way be par ticularly mentioned the description of vegetable or root now under notice, which never formerly constituted an article of foreign supply, but which, during the past few months, have been imported to an almost incredible ex tent. As an instance, may be especially remarked an arrival a day or two since, by a small sa ili ng vesse l f rom Ilamburgh (th e principsi place from which it is im ported), of no less than 333 bundles of the article. This root, coming under the general term of vegetable, is now ft ee of duty, and the steamers from the Continent have invariably a quantity of the article as a portion of their general cargo, for consumption in this country. RAILWAY SreEn. - -Competition for speed is going on. The Great Western, it is said, are about to build an engine with eight wheels, still larger th an t h e " G reat Western," b u t with the weight more equally distributed ever a greater number of wheels, so that it will not press on any one point with so great and incessant weight as their " Great Western," and will unite all the improve merits which the working of the latter has pointed out.

Mr. Hedworth Latribton, M.P., left Earranca's Hotel yesterday, for )3righton, BOWING AND HIS CON STITUENTS. BOLTON, T HURSDAY.—Yesterday evening Dr. Bow ing, the Liberal Member for this borough, in accord ance with his annual custom, paid a visit, to Bolton, for the purpose of explaining his Parliamentary conduct to his constituents. The meeting took place in the Tem perance Hall, which, notwithstanding the wetness of the 'vening, was crowded in every part. An attempt had )een made to excite a prejudice against the Honourable Aember on account of his continual refusal to vote for she Ten Hours' Bill, but it failed. ROBERT HEYWOOD, Esq., was called to the chair, and briefly stated the elejeet of the meeting, and called upon Dr. Bowring to address the assembly. Dr. BOWRING came forward amidst cheers, and said— Gentlemen, in one observation of my worthy friend, Nhoin you have honoured by calling to the chair, I do lot c• mcur. He says he is sorry to see such a crowded assembly. Now, in such a presence I rejoice ; for it s my pride, my highest pride and satisfaction, to come before so many of the good people of Bolton as are- now gathered together, to render to them—electors and non-electors — an ace wnt of the manner in which I have discharged that high and honourable mission with which they have entrusted me. When lim - posed upon myself this duty I voluntarily engaged, from time to time, that I would come amongst you to discuss taose questions of public and of Parliamentary interest n which you are concerned ; to give an account t u you— [ your servant, and you my masters—of the views I have formed and the votes I have given on public affairs; and to elt.'eavour to ascertain; as far as I am able, how far those votes and how far those opinions represent the community with which I have the honour and privilege of being associated. And now, at the end of one of the most remarkable sessions of Parliamentary history—at die end of a session in which questions of [the greatest importance have been discussed and passed—l come to tell you of the part which your representative has taken, and I come to inquire of yoje whether, in your judgment, [ have worthily fulfilled the engagement upon which I entered—whether I have done what I promised to do, - or failed in so doing. The session' has been long and labo rious —memorable I may call it. It has seen great changes and great conversions. Your representative has not been converted, because he was an old representa tive of those opinions which at last have obtained the eanction of a Parliamentary majority. Your represen tative has not changed any of the views which first re commended him to your notice, or that influenced his conduct, or his character and his conduct. I told you from the first, what I now repeat, that the greatest good of the greatest number would be the object to which my attention would always be turned —that I considered myself the representative of the interests of the many, and especially of the unrepresented—fo r I know, as you all know, that the rich and the mighty have many to care about their concerns, many to legislate for their .nterests, whilst I thought, and still think, that there are too few who are now interested in the well-being of the great mass of the community. Now representing, as I always hope to do, the great interests of this great mass, you will do me the justice to own that there are some occasions on which my opinions have not always seen in accordance with them, or with the opinions of .nany of them. Yet to many questions on whi c h th e cell- being of the laborious multitude is concerned, I have endeavoured to devote a constant and religious attention; and now I come before you to review what has been lone. I can conscientiously put my hand upon my Heart, and say that neither fear nor favour has influenced any vote of mine; that as I never bought you, so I never sold you, and that whatever has been, and whatever may be the principles to which I am pledged, I am, and can be firm; and I hope that nothing will seduce me from tae path of public duty. From time to time one great question has engaged the community in this district. it will be to the honour of Lancashire that the founda tions were laid of that great alliance and magnificenct union, bringing together the intelligence, the activity, end virtue of the manufacturing and labouring corn inunity, and headed by excellent men, they marched igainst the great citadel of monopoly. At the be ginning of this session of Parliament that citadel appeared to stand on a firm foundation, and those who defended it treated us, the assaulters, with scorn and mockery, but aided in the good cause, and supported by public opinion, we have been able to tear up that castle from its very foundations, and have marched triumphant over its ruins.—(Applause.) Bolton was asked its opi nion, and Bolton demanded, through its representativ , , the immediate and total, the irrevocable repeal of the corn-law.—(Cheers.) It has been irrevocably repealed. I wish the repeal had been total and immediate.—(Loud cheers.) That question still presses upon you and the community at large. Far better would it have been if the Government had done what a small band of faithful tnen attempted, instead of leaving that miserable frag ment of a sliding scale, which will totter during the few ears that it has to remain. Far better would it have :seen if the repeal had been total and immediate (espe cially at this moment, when millions are menaced with starvation), and if the ports of this country had been ups ned for the free adtrisEion of food from every part if the known world. You have heard me say again and gain, that what it is right to do should be dom. corn • a letely, and should te done promptly. I grieve for the Inlay which has taken place, and I rejoice at the move :neat which is now taking place, entreating her Majesty cu open the ports of this country to let the corn which the people of this country want come in free from every partof the world.—(Cheers.) We have, at last, I xhibited a noble example to mankind. It was idle and vain fur us to talk about free trade to foreign nations. They told us to recollect—when we went with our arguments in ravour of free trade, they pointed to our law: in favour ,f monopoly, and that was a sufficient answer to all our kypocritical protestations. But at last the force of argument and the effects of the urgent necessities of the time have brought many men to our opinicns. Bat the principles of free trade have been strong enough to upset and to create governments. Their mission is tieing accomplished here, and it is being accomplished in foreign lands. Mr. Cobden, than whom there is no more worthy representative of the middle classes of this country—the bast portion of the population—that popu lation of whom a celebrated writer said there were the dregs below and the scum above, but in the middle classes of society there to conquer in other lands. W—a: iltivher man who above all men represents the feeling of the ta s hi enemnd conducted o e e inns h dt nehnoufeotst enthusiasm Id therec nh n eo v tv, i e e , on: judgment oyf manufacturing population, is gone forth conquerin good c every hee s thin . g i3),,his excellent—that own Iris others, o w n a nqd" quiet d his em h e o a n n e o s demeanour n in th g a t t dd w e h n ie o h pi h n a io s ns b ; ee at home will be accomplished abroad, and the barriers and the which have separated us from other lands will be broken down, enabling us to communicate to them the en joyments of which we have a superfluity, and taking from them the produce which they hare in ex cess. Free trade has found an utterance in France, free trade has found an utterance in Belgium, and even in Spain a committee has already been formed, and our high•minded and honoured friend has found a welcome in that once distinguished and heroic land. It has spread through Europe, and it is spreading in America and England, and now the words of wisdom and truth are echoed over the land. The voice of England is heard, and will still be heard in sup port of the interests of our common humanity. That has no doubt been the great object of the past session. It perhaps is more becoming in me to look to the pre• sent and to the future, which they can influence, than to the past, which they cannot change; and more appro. priate is it that I should 'speak to you of future inten tions and of coming events, rather than of those which." have passed away, and which we can neither modify nor alter. Yet there is one subject on which I have carried your friendly opinion and support, I speak of military Hugging. I need not tell you of the horrors of that system.—Mear, hear.) I voted for its overthrow again and again in days gone by. But a case occurred so horrid in its consequences, the case at Hounslow, in which a man was declared by the verdict of a jury to have been punished to death, who had not been con demned to die. That case excited in the public mind so strong a feeling, that I deemed it my duty to take advantage of that feeling to struggle for the abolition of that species of punishment —a punish ment so dishonouring to our country, and so dis honouring to our race—a punishment which implied that the men of England were made of baser and viler stuff than the men of other nations who had not felt it neces sary to employ the scourge in order to preserve what is called military discipline.—(Loud cheers.) I gave notice in the House of Commons that it was ray intention to move for the total abolition of this abomination. I was requested to delay. I was assured that I m i g h t " em barrass" the proceedings o f the authorities if I mooted a question so ticklish, and upon which the public mind was so sensitive.. I thought it my duty to persevere and to test the House of Commons, and to ascertain whether there was in a House of Commons, calling themselves the representatives of the people, a majority w h o would consent to tolerate the longer contin uance of this wicked and unworthy mode of punishment. The Duk e o f W el- Hunters became a little alarmed, and I was assured that wait, everything should be d that if I would only ono in the • could possibly be accomplished if any fexisting state of things. lu —y answer was, that Kill was left system I would still denounce, and of the system, that endeavour to overthrow.—(Cheers.)they TI Government came forward, and declared tha t redu ce d t h e punishment and to only fifty lashes, they hoped that others, would satisfy me and satis fy there AIY answer was, " No—(Loud cheers)—while is the power to inflict one lash on . back of a soldier, I will still protest, and divide the House" --(Cherrs)— I and to that pledge and promise b acontinued faithful. I did not carry my motion; but be leaidssured that this tor turing scourge will ere long be rejected aside;in for only three nights after my motion house of of hearing the Duke Commons, I myself had the pleasure that he had ri b n e g of Wellington say he rejoiced e t n he able to and that he hoped modify the punishment, without flogging , army might be disciplined and that he trusted he might be abie to see the day wh en i t would for be ever and finally abolished. — (Cheers.) I n ac ti ng as I have done on this occasion and upo n t hi s topic, I feel sure that I shall not have forfeited y our good opi nion. —(Loud cheers.) And now we stand surroun d e d by many embarrassments and many difficulties. True it is that the government of Sir Robert Peel h as passed away, and has been succ eeded. by another, - ter, respecting ff • 1y a on which I may say, that if my individualcctiona 9R.

GEORGE ROBINS is instructed by the _IL Devisees in Trust of the late Harry Hammond, Esq., to submit to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, Lonthm, on THURSDAY, December 3d, at Twelve, in One Lot, A truly desirable FREEHOLD PROPERTY, presenting to the capitalist an investment free from the slightest doubt or risk. It is in the parish of East Stoke, yet within the limits of THE BOROUGH TOWN OF WAREHAM, _ _ _ a matter of no small importance to a proprietor, and fol* a tenant at 41 1 times ensuring the readiest sale for the produce, while the markets of Poole and Dorchester are easily commanded, and shortly the railway from• Southampton to Dorchester will lend its power.ul aid to give fresh impetus to this district, by rendering the London market accessible. It is known as THE BEST WALL AND SWINEHAM FARMS, OF 295 ACRES OF RICH DAIRY AND ARABLE LAND, - „ and it will be in the recollection of those acquiinted with the county that they were for many years the pet farms, or better known as THE MODEL FARMS OF THE LATE SIR CLAUDE SCOTT, BART., by whose untiring energy, skill, and outlay, they were not only brought to a high state of cultivation, but by the formation of an embankment of vast extent, with a most perfect system of draining and irrigation, some of the richest dairy and corn land in the county was secured, as well as a constant supply of manure from the deposit from the river. The late proprietor, at very considerable cost, erected A GENTLEMANLY ABODE offering excellent accommodation for a family, , approached by a lodge entrance, through a most luxuriant shrubbery walk, adorned with an infinity of choice flowering plants, to the lawn and pleasure garden, from whence a view of singular magnificence is obtained, in cluding the long range of THE DORSETSHIRE HILLq, THE MAJESTIC RUINS OF CORFE CASTLE being a prominent object ; whilst the horns view commands Lord Rivers' estate of Redcliff and the Wareham River, which yields a never-failing supply of fish, and in the season wild fowl 1 . 4 abun Tance —irresistible attractions to a sporting man—to whom it should be known that there aro frequent meetings of Mr. Farquharson and Mr. Drax's hounds.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the llerhary, High gate, for the efficacy e his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than it ever was before the baldnesS appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11 s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perieace, not only in the restoration and production of hair ill abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will fed a pleasure in answering any laity of respectability to the above facts.— 3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak] or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In eases of nevons headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the grown of the heat ; if vry bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases reliof is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair. —see pamphlet of testimonials. All I,l4ers ;maned to William Grin:atom, ,Htrlaary, Highgate. ,- e.,, 1 OC TO BE R 23, 1846. were to be consulted, I should look upon them with greater confidence. But I have learned to distrust pub lic men.—(Hear, hear.) I am bound to inquire, and shall still inquire, from what Ministry most can be ob. tained for the people. I hope that Lord John Russell will outbid Sir Robert Peel in his efforts for the well being of the community. I hope he will uproot abases more courageously—that he will introduce reforms more rapidly and more perseveringly—that he will give more ample effect to those liberal principles which he professes, than we could expect from a Government which called itself Conservative. But if he fail. lam not the servant of the Government. And if Sir Robert Peel can outbid Lord John Russell, Sir Robert Peel shall have my support.—(Cheers.) Parties, as 3ou are aware, are broken into pieces. The very Parliament that was sent to support monopoly was the instrument for its destruction—the very Parliament that was sent together to oppase the demands of the people ceded those demands —the very Parliament with whose advent Toryism triumphed has given Toryism to the wirds.— (Loud cheers.) But now what is to be ddne fair Ireland? fliere are millions of men famishing in that country. No one who holds a seat in the Legislature can consider the question of Ireland without feeling the high and awful relsonsibility which attaches to him. Let the laws which govern Ireland govern England.—(Cheers.) Let us have no separate legislation.—(Cheers) Let Irishmen, aril Scotchmen, and Welshmen, and English men be held equal in the judgment of the law. I would not impose on Ireland any peculiar burdenS, because I love Irishmen ; I will not give to Ireland any peculiar benefit, because I represent the English. But let us have justice for all—(Cheers)—the same rights, the same laws, the same recognition of privileges which in every free country belong to every Free man. I know that there are many amongst the Irish landlords who think that the representatives of England will give them a poor-law in Ireland to be paid for with English money. I don't think that f a i r . Id o not th i nk it fair for us to put our paupers upon them. There are some who think that it would become England to endow the Irish clergy. I strongly dissent from that. lam not for en dowing any clergy of any sect out of the public funds.— (Cheers.) I wish you to understand this subject ; for there are some persons who think that the Irish clergy can be bribed with English money, and that the Irish people will be silent under whatever distress they may suffer. I would rather that the Irish clergy should be supported by the Irish people, and be content with the voluntary aid which they receive from their consci entous followers. With regard to the education of ne people, I look upon it as the foundation of the people's happiness, and I shall aid any measure proposed for their general instruction. I propose voluntary education ; and I do not hesitate to say, that I would much rather the community would do what is done in many parts of Europe—provide for the instruction of the rising gene ration. I know countries in which there is not a child who is not taught to read and write by the spontaneous 'liberality of the public ; and I wish that were the case here. I wish that everybody could be convinced that the peace and prosperity of society depends on raising the people higher and higher, and not in trampling them down lower and lower.—(Cheers.) They must be edu cated, but not in a sectarian spirit, nor in a way that will offend their religious prejudices. I would not have creeds taken into the school, for this might arouse religious prejudices in their breasts. If Parlia ment understand its high mission, it will occupy itself in inquiring how it can improve the social state. Some attention has been paid towards improving the dwel lings of the people, and attempts have been made to make water cheaper and more accessible. Other laws have been introduced for improving ventilation and drainage, and I hope we shall see more improvement in the recreation of the people, such as providing public parks. One of the advantages of peace is, that men will not be carried away into foreign regions, to have their passions excited by tales of bloody battles and unproduc tive victories—tales of men brought together, not for the purposes of mutual benefit, but of mutual destruction— not to serve the interests of peace and love, but those of war and hate to one another. I have great reason to believe that the question of the improvement of the con dition of the people will be amongst the subjects next to be brought before Parliament: for now a greater neces sity is felt for the enactment of laws that will improve and elevate their stations in society. Such inquiries will have my cordial aid. The other day I moved in the House of Commons, for the third time, for a return of the money taken from the pockets of the people, and which never went into the Exchequer, and which was paid again without any Parliamentary sanction. Would you believe that it amounts to seven millions sterling? Seven millions sterling are received by the different de partments of the Government, and paid out again with out any previous Parliamentary sanction or control. I have known particular offices in which the parties, when they wanted money, got it by selling old stores. I would not allow any department to sell old stores; and if they did, I wou!d take care that the money which they pro duced should go into the Treasury. Having stated his willingness at future times to give an account of hi, stewardship, Dr. Bow ring sat down amidst loud cheers. In answer to a question from an operative named RIDER Dr. BOWRING declined t 3 vote fur the Ten Hours' Bill. A vote cf thanks was then given to the Doctor for his general Parliamentary conduct; and after a vote had teen jwsed in favour of the Tea Hours' Bill, the pro ceedings terminated.

The vice-presidents on this occasion were A. Watkin, Esq., and James Crossley, Esq. The breakfast covers having been withdrawn, The CHAIRMAN rose and said,—As the very unworthy individual who occupied pro tern. the office of President of the. Manchester Athenaeum, it had devolved upon him to occupy that chair, and, with their permission, he would en deavour to state the objectof the present meeting, and why it was that the directors of this institution thought it de sirable to bring a few of the gentlemen who had con sented to honour them with their presence at their an nual soiree together this morning. —(Hear, hear.) The directors thought that as there were many distinguished individuals present from different parts of the empire, many of whom would be probably unacquainted with each other, and with the nature and history of the insti tution they were met to honour, that it was desirable the directors and they should have some little opportunity of an interchange of sentiment and conversation befcre we met for the more important proceedings of the day, which was the soirée to take place in the evening.—(Hear.) Mr. Edwards, one of the directors of the Athenmum, was prepared and anxious to state concisely to their friends from a distance what were the objects of the Manchester Athenaeum—what was its present state of prosperity as contrasted with the past—and, as to the future, they would leave that to the anticipations of its friends ; soliciting at the same time the assistance of their friends who had so kindly come from a distance, as to any sug gestions they might be able or willing to throw out for promoting or increasing the welfare and usefulness of the institution, which we in Manchester cherish with so much pride and pleasure. It was pleasing to him, he was sure, to think that their institution had weathered the storm so far. It had been in peril, it had been threatened with destruction, but it was now they had reason to hope, lined upon a rock, and could be able to defy every danger with which it might be assailed.— (Loud applause.) They were not dependent upon the support of royalty or the great; many of the institutions of the town, such as the Infirmary, and another institu tion having for its object the fostering of art—the Royal Institution—had the benefit, and weil deserved it, of the royal patronage ; but he was not aware that the support of royalty could of itself make this a more valuable or a more useful institution.—(Hear.) We in Manchester had been taught to rely mainly upon ourselves, upn our own efforts, and he thought there was no town in the kingdom which could give nobler examples of how much might be accomplished by a reliance upon such means.--(Near, and applause.) They did rot expect to be complimented by strangers upon the sate of the streets, upon the architectural beauties of their principal edifices, or upon the sewerage or sanatory regulations of the town; but this he would say, that there was great progress making in that direction. He hoped, however, that while they were thus attending to the improvement of the outward and physical com forts of the community, it would not be supposed they were neglecting that more important duty, withoutwhich all otheiimprovements must soon have an end, the cul tivation of the mind. And while he spoke of mental cultivation, he did believe that our Manchester Athe- nmum would prove one of the most valuable institutions in the town for that purpose—(Loud applause)— and as it was supported by the town without reliance upon any extraneous aid, it was an instance of how much might be accomplished by a reliance upon local energy and self exertion in a good cause.—(Continued applause.) He should now call upon Mr. Edwards to make his report without further trespassing on the time of the meeting. He had felt that it was a mistake on the part of the Athenmum to have done him the honour of electing him their president.—(No, no)—because he . knew that his public avocations were such as to call him from town, and to prevent him atte n di ng th e i r meet i ngs and giving his attention to the general business of the institution ; he was, however, wisen he accepted that office, perfectly satisfied that the office was an honorary one, so long as it was in the hands of inure able director=, and he had no doubt that the report which Mr. Edwards would lay before the meeting would show that the institution was cherished and conducted by a body of men who desirad to make it as useful as possible, and who, along e ith that desire, a l so possessed the rneans.—(Applatise - 0 Mr. Eowartris then read the report, whie'a detailed the origin and progress of the institution, and stated that the number of members at present was 2,501. The CHAIRMAN said he had been requested to state that though Lord Morpeth had not been We to honour them with his company to breakfast, he Wag neverthe- less in the town, and though absent in person was with them ir, spit it.—(Cheers.) In stating what was at this time occupying his Lordship's attention, he might ob serve that he was! experiencing a difficulty which was often felt by others—the impossibility of being every where at one and the same time.—(A laugh). His Lordship, as one of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, however, was anxious to look at the new pub lic parks which led been opened in Manchester—(Ap plause) —his Lordship being at the present time engaged in laying out one himself under the direction of the Woods and Forests, and which 'contained what in the view of the Manchester people was a great desideratum in grounds of this kind, no less than nine acres of cricket ground.—(Applause.) • His Lordship had re quested Mr. James Heywood to communicate these facts, so that it might be understood it was from no want of sympathy he was not with them this morning. —(Applause.) He now begged to call on Mr. Charles Mackay to say a few words. CHARLES MACKAY, ESil., immediately rose, but spoke in so low a tone that but few of his observations reached :he reporter. He was understood to say that he was called upon most unexpectedly, but be could not help ex pressing the deep satisfaction he felt as one interested in the education and improvement of the people, in being present on this occasion. As regarded the education of the people, the foundation of such institutions as this, perhaps, was hardly connected with it in the sense to which the public attention was now being generally di rected; but at the same time, if education on a broader basis was to be attempted, and we were to haie Minister of Education, he hoped institutions like this would receive his attention; that he might be inducel, for instance, where such an institution had expended a thousand pounds, to give another thousand. In a large and wealthy town like this, perhaps, there might be little need for such assistance and encouragement; but in smaller towns, not blessed with prosperity like this, there was very great occasion for it. In the town with which he himself was connected (Glasgow) there was no such institution as this; no public library, no athenmutn, no public parks ; such institutions had been tried, but had not flourished. Disgrace attached to them, perhaps, for Laving failed, but nevertheless it was a fact, showing the desirability of aid such as he had hinted at.—(Hear. hear.) He again expressed his gratifi ca ti on i n b e i ng present on this occasion. Charles Pountney, Esq., Wm. Chambers, Esq , of Edinburgh, and several other gentlemen, having spoken, His Grace the Archbishop of DUBLIN was next called upon, and was received with much applause. He said it would be superfluous to detain them with expressions of sympathy, because his presence here on this occasion ex pressed all that sufficiently. —(Applause.) He certainly should not have left the very numerous and pressing callsthe had upon his time in Dublin, to come here for the purpose of looking at a mere raree- show, or attend ing a dance.—(Laughter.) He had thought it incum bent upon him to show the interest he had in everything which concerned the diffusion of knowledge, and with that view he had great pleasure in attending the present proceedings, and he must say that, from everything he had seen and everything he had heard in the inquiries he had made, he had no reason to repent; for everything had come up to the opinion he had formed of their in. stitution.—(Applause.) He need not say anything about his anxiety to .promote education, because his life had been occupied in official or non-official efforts of that kind; but he must say that he thought it important to a town like this that they should have an institution late the Athenaeum. It might not be the warmest pane gyric to pees upon them for having such an institution, but he would say that it not only did the town credit, but that the previous want of it did them great discredit.—(Hear, hear.) He thought it incumbent upon a town like this to see that the progress of knowledge kept pace with the progress of num bers and weath; or it must follow that what had been a suffici..nt amount of knowledge or education fur a small population would be disgracAlly small for one very much increased in that respect.—(llear, hear.) Ot course he did not expect, nor should he ever supp that an institution like this would farnis.h to its mem bers a complete education. The members of such an institution were already engaged in professional pursuits of life, and he did not wish, nor had they any means giving their time to the going through a regular course e location such as was given at the universitit s; be', considering that they had a geod library, which afforded the means, to those who were desirous of it, of acquiring knowledge and of improving their minds, making up for what had been previously left imperfect in their educa tion, he thought this institution a most valuable one. lie was sorry to say that they were very defidient in this point in Ireland. They had been, till a late period, very deficient in the means of education generally, and though a great advaneemement had been made among the poorer clas-es, their system was still very incomplete. There had long been, as the company was aware, a university e. the education of the upper classes, but it appeared to him that they were cultivating the highest and tt.e lowest, and leaving the middle classes comparatively neglected. —(Eiear.) There was some provision for those who were to be brought up to the learned professions, end for those who belonged to the class of labourers and paupers; but for those who were to become clerks, and shopmen, and apprentices, the despised class alluded to by a gentleman who had pre riously addressed the meeting—(Loud laughter)-- for those there was so great a deficiency of the means of education, that he was afraid the common labourers would surpass them. They vranted better schools for the middle classes, and institutions to furnish books, and for encouraging a taste fur reading, as well as to supply lectures. He considered lectures without a library, and a library without lectures, a very imperfect means of conveying instruction. The means of access to lectures and books together furnished, he would not say a perfect education, but the best means perhaps that could be ,upplied to those whose main time was occupied in the pursuits by which they were to earn their living, ani maintain their position in society.—(Hear.) Ile could suppose that there were many who thought it a crude sort of education, and that they did not pursue such a means of education under the best circumstances ; he could undertake to say that the means of education the Athenaeum possessed might not the best that could be bestowed upon those who looked for a learned education ; but the question was, not whether it was the best, but whether the young men for whom it was designed should spend their time in card-playing and drinking, or per haps worse, or whether they should have some kind of mental culture.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) With respect to the books with which the library was stored, he supposed they were well chosen ; but as to the periodicals and newspapers on their tables, of course they took in those of all sects and parties. Na doubt the person who had these before him had a vast quantity of trash. There was no kind of misrepresentation the public might not find in newspapers—(Much laughter)— but what would become of that individual who read only one kind of newspaper !—(Hear, hear.) He would become associated with some party clique, and his mind would become embued with narrow sentiments ; but if he had the is hole, even if he did not choose wisely, he had at all events the best chance of doing so.—(liear, hear.) It was the will of Providence that men should be subject to good and evil, and because this earth was not heaven men must not be left without hope. All that could be done by such an institution as this was to give light.—(Applause.) We ought to lay knowledge before their members, and if they made a bad use of it, they could not help it.—(Hear, hear.) If they put it within the means of men to choose between good and evil, they pursued the system which the Almighty him self had pointed out. We must guide ourselves with the faculties he has endowed us with. We must say as the inspired prophet said, " Behold, I have set before you this day good and evil ; now, therefore, choose the good."—(Loud cheers.) Several other gentlemen briefly addressed the corn pany, which broke up at a little before-twelve o'clock. MR. STEWART, M.P. FOR RENFREWSHIRE —We are glad to be able to state, that the sudden and very alarming illness of the Honourable Member for Ren frewshire, which for the last few days has occasioned such deep anxiety to his friends and the public, has now assumed a more favourable aspect, encouraging them to hope for his speedy and complete restoration to health. Mr. Stewart's public services are very• gene rally known and appreciated, but in the county of Iten. frew where hi s man y exce ll ent qua li t i es in private life have also contrib u t e d j us tly t o en d ea r h its to a numer ous constituency, the accounts of his i llness caused a general gloom. which we trust will now be dispelled by this recent report of his improvement.—Caledoni an Mereu, y. BRENTWOOD FAIR.—The attendance at this fair on Thurs:lay, notwithstanding the unpropitious state of the weather, was very numerous, many of the buyers coming from considerable distances. The show of stock was but middling in point of numbers and qtrility, extraordi narily high prices were submitted to, and but few things were left to the second day. Good short-horn heifers made from 141. to 191. But few sheep were exhibited, for which a ready sale was found on equally high terms. Some of the short-horn heifers were sold to .(-) as far as Bristol, and hundreds for Norfolk.—Essex Herald. ST. Ives.—Great fears are entertained for the safety of a small fishing boat, with three men, who went out on Tuesday ni g ht, an d h ave not returned. The evening was fine, b ut at f our o ' clock on Wednes: day morning the wind shifted to the westward, and blew a heavy ga l e . Sh e was seen under very low' can vass endeavouring to reac h the bay.—Falmeutl i Packet ing two. open to a most pugnacious opposition from the remain- Mr. HENRY BURN, a director, said he was as anxious abcut the affairs of the company as any person could be —he had no other interest to look to—he had no local advantages to serve. He was independently employed, and his only object was for the Star Company. He shote.d regret the boats getting out of the hands of the company into those of private individuals, and he, quite agreed with Mr. Redman, and should dissent from their having a new boat. The amendment having been put and rejected,~th• original proposition was carried by a large majority. On the motion of Mr. ANDERTON, it was resolved that the sum of five guineas be presented to each ;of the captains for the judicious manner in which they con ducted the vessels during the season, the expen-es at tendant on the repairs of the five boats amounting to only 16/. The directors, auditors, and chairman baying been re elected. after a vote of thanks to those gentlemen for their past sers ices, the meeting separated. NE W SPAPER CURIOSITI. - —lt is not generally known that there hassifo,hrich, the last eleven years, a news in reference to the periods resembles birds of passage. Like the w lows, it makes its appearance each successive season it disappears at the close of the season. Its swallows, the commencement of the summer months, and with the shallow o p rit e s rini r publication, a ' r r.g been,ee existence each year varies' according to the state of the weather, from four to five months. As a few fine days in the beginning of the summer summons it from tho steep of winter, so a few unpropitious days towards the close of autumn consigns it anew to the grave. The earliness and long continuance of the fine weather have given to the Ilarrowgate Advertiser an unusually pro tracted existence this year. Its term of life in the year of grace 1846 extended to five months. The broken weather of last week put an abrupt termination to its days, the " Visitors" to the celebrated watering place in which it is published having suddenly taken flight on the setting in of the heavy rains. The proprietor, at the close of each season, gives a farewell address to his supporters, in imit a ti on of the lessees of theatres, thank ing them f or past patronage, and bespeaking future fa vours. The editor closes his valedictory address on Saturday last in these words:—" We sincerely regret to part with so many kind patrons and supporters, but we are cheered during the winter months of separation in the hope of meeting them again, should Divine Pro vidence spare us to renew our acquaintamo and pur sue our humble labours."

A very numerous meeting of the magistrates for Mid dlesex was held yesterday, at the Clerkenweli Sessions House, for the transaction of " county" business. Mr. H. Pownall in the chair. The greater part of the day was occupied in the dis cussion and consideration of a motion which had been placed on the paper by Mr. Walesby, for the abolition of the use of the treadwheel in the case of females. In consequence of this notice of motion it appeared that the visiting justices of the House of Correction, in their cus tomary report, which was ❑ow read, had obtained the opinions of the several officers of the Coldbath fields Prison, as to the advantages or injury which the appli cation of the wheel to female prisoners had produced. These opinions were all read, and they concurred in stating that the experience of the governor, the chaplain, and the matron had led them to the conclusion that nothing detrimental either to the health or morals of female pri soners arises from their employment on the treadwheel; on the contrary, that, as regulated in the prison, it is a salutary c xercise, and varies the monotony of their confinement; that female prisoners have repeatedly importuned the authorities to allow them to be placed upon the wheel, and shed tears of disappointment when refused. They admitted, indeed, that it might net ho undesirable to confine this species of punishment, to the more hardened criminals, and to ex wept from it those females who are committed for the first time and for comparatively trifling offences. In this opinion as to the absence of any injurious eff,c: the surgeon entirely con curred, as far as regarded the health of the women; and the matron, in corroboration of this testimony, streed the remarkable fact that with 266 prisoners in the guise, there is not one in the infirmary. The report was, as usual, received, and ordered to be printed and circulated. Mr. Winxs, the chairman of the visiting justices, asked the Hon. and Learned Magistrate, whether, afler the opinions which had been given by the governor and the other officers of the prison, he did not think it advisable to withhold his motion ? Mr. WALESBY declined to act upon this suggestion, and after some other business had been gone through, proceeded to move " That the treadwheel be disused is case of female prisoners at Coldbath-fields llouse of Correction." He considered it the better course to place the matter before the public at once, rather than it should be allowed any longer to remain in abeyance. The treadwheel had been abolished in every other prison tht:n that of the greatest metropolis in the world.— (Hear.) Why then should it be allowed to remain ? He should move its abolition in the terms of hrs notico of motion. Mr. ROTCH seconded the motion, and suggested that the prison should be sold to a railway company as a City terminus. Mr. Wilke opposed the motion, as did Messrs. Fresh field, Tulk, and S. Wilson. Sir P. LAURIE said the question could not be allowed to remain as it was after the statement of the officers. Mr. Simpson, Mr. Sergeant Stocks, Mr. Halswell, and Mr. Arms:rorg spoke in favour of the motion, which was eventually lost by a majority of 25 to 15. STAR STEAM-PACKET COMPANY On Wednesday the annual General Court of Pro prietors was held at the Literary Institution, Gravesend, to receive the annual report, &c. Mr. CRUDEN, the Chairman, in opening the business Said he had to congratulate the shareholders on a most successful termination of the year, a fact which they would find confirmed by the auditors' report. Mr. ROBERTS read the report, by which it appeared that the earnings of the company during the past year amounted to 17,493/. 17s. 3d.; and after making the usual disbursements, the balance in hand amounted to 1 983/. 18s. 3d.; besides which there was due from the Blackwell Company 1,299/. 14s. 10d. and 171. Is. from the Government for the conveyance of troops. The directors, he added, had relinquished half their pay. Among the items he stated there remained unpaid 2021, 9s. 6d., due to Mr. Matthews, their solicitor. Mr. MATTHEWS observed that he shold exceedingly regret to be placed in a hostile pition with regard to the company in taking unpleasant proceedings for the re covery of the debt, but as it had already stood over from their 'last general meeting, he thought the pre sent a fitting opportunity to have the matter fairly discussed with a view to arrangement. He was quite ►willing to have it referred to any competent person, or the directors might have it taxed in the usual way. Mr. ROBERTS said he quite agreed with Mr. Matthews that the account ought to be arranged, but he would ex plain how the costs bad originated. There was an action brought with respect to the sinking of the Vesper, in which the lawyer got all that could be desired —verdict and costs—but to their surprise there was an unpaid bill of costs brought in amounting to 754 3s. Id. There were then two oth , r causes tried—the touting question and another—in which the solicitor, not content with charging mileage upon one or two occasions only, but every time he made a journey to Maidstone there was " mileage, mileage," su that the account amounted to upward: of 2001. Mr. MArrnEws said he would not attribute inten tional misstattment on the part of Mr. Roberts,- but he wished to correct what had been said, as that gentleman had nct stated the facts. The amount claimed was upon two suits at the aisizes, and a case of referance atter w•ards, uron which upwards of 159/. had bran paid for the actual expenses of witacses, and that the whols of the law charges we is ooly 261. 12a. A SIIIIIRUOLDER t xpressed his (ipieion that it was a question w Ilia ought to be arranged by the directors, sud not by the proprietors, who plac. d every confidence n-that body, and jar. Matthews either had cr had not their con tid tnce. Mr. CRUDEN reminded the meeting that they were assembled either to hpprove or not approve of tae audi tors' report, which, on being_ put, was uranimously carried, The A P . xt question, he said, was to know their opinion e ith respc-ci to a dividend, it being proposed to pay five pug cent., ard for the convenience of those living at a distance, they could receive it at ( nce, they having brought tleir money b,.x with them fur that purpose. And it was also proposed that they Lhoulti have, in lieu of the Star, a packet of superior construction 4nd ligh!er expenditure, by which they hoped to secure a successful reLult for the season of 1847. Mr. ANDERTON said he had heard that some of the boats had been mortgaged ; he wished to know if such was the case? Mr. ROBERTS acknowledged that 2,0001. had been borrowed, and upon which the proprietors had ba•l the advantage. He expressed himself favourable to a new vessel. Mr. ANDERTON though it was not right to create a new debt : he had read their deed, and he would take the bull by the horns and say, that the directors had no power to build a new boat, which, it appeared, would cost 6,250/ ; he would rather be for shutting the con cc'rn up, and dividing the property. He then moved as an amendment, " That, atter paying a dividend of five per cent., the purchase of'a new boat was unnecessary, and that the surplus should go towards defraying their debt." Mr. G. C. REDMAN said, if no proprietor would second the amendment he, as a director, should feel great plea sure in so doing. He considered it very detrimental to the interests of the company to re-elect the same direc tors year after year, but he thanked the shareholders for the confidence they had placed in him. With respect to a new boat, he did not consider they were in a position to have one, and such resolution had been come to at a meeting at which he was not present. He would say more, there was not one of the directors who knew what kind of boat they intended to have. He held in his hand two letters, which he had intended to have sent to a former meeting. One was addressed to the chairman, and which he would take the liberty to read. This letter set forth that if he (the chairman) did order a new boat, it would be entirely at his own risk. The other was addressed to Messrs. Milner and Ravenor. the engineers, saying, if they constructed a vessel it would he at their own individual risk. He had done so, ii.t rifling to wait until the matter could be discussed at ti:; general meeting. The"CHAIRmAN said he must protest against Mr. Red man introducing letters which had never been sent, in order to support his own hypothesis. Among the ten directors, if eight of them came to the determination . which they deemed the most judicious for the benefit of the company, he thought it too much for them to be e-41
