GENTLEMEN, IN consequence of having received a r e q uisition, very numerously and respectably signed, from the Electors of LW: Surrey, requesting me to become a Candidate for representing them in Parliament, I am proud to obey their call. Deploring in common with the nation at large the event which las made a dissolution necessary, I infinitely rejoice at our now having on the Throne a Sovereign whose education seems to have been conducted with reference to the age in which she live!, and who bids fair to be worthy of governing this great nation. Though I am personally unknown to many of you, yet the name of cny lamented father will, I trust, be a su ffi cient guarantee to the Electors of East Surrey of the liberal principles in which I have been brought up; of those principles I will endeavour in a very few words to give you some account. I wish to see the great principle of Reform carried into every department of the State—the Freedom of Election secured by the ballot, a n d th e welfare of the great body of the people recognised as the paramount object of all legislation. With regard to our Ecclesiastical Establishment, I think that its arge revenues ought to be made more subservient to the sery iic nten e of God than they now are ; I consider the Church property her a than the s led to promote the spiritual comfort of the many rat temporary aggrandisement of the few. 1 shall take an early opportunity of statin g my person, and in the mean time have th e honour to remain, Your faithfuls rva J.

Mid ly Two IVacations in the Year, Three Week s each, at Christmas (summer. A few Young Gentlemen received as DAY SCHOLARS. Terms regulated according to their A ge, Studies, &c. The almost unprecedented patronage which Mr. Burt has re ceived for nearly Twenty Years is perhaps as fair a criterion as can be offered to the merits of the System of Education adopted by him, and also of the general kindness and affectionate attention experi enced by those who have been confided to his care and instruction. ITo his numerous Friends and Patrons he begs to return hiswarmest and best.thanks for their liberal and encouraging support ; and he trusts the sincerity of his gratitude has ever been manifested, by a zealous, an energetic, and a faithful discharge of every duty of his profession. The limits of an advertisement will not allow Mr. B. to enter nto a detail of the many advantages enjoyed by his Pupils : he .nust, therefore, content himself by respectfully soliciting a personal inspection of his Establishment, and at the same time he shall be nost happy to enter minutely into all particulars relative to its ma nagement. To those, however, who may, from distance or any ,ther circumstance, be prevented calling on Mr. 8., he would 'iriefly remark that WINDSOR HOUSE s most delightfully situated, and in every respect calculated to pro mote the health and comfort of the Young Gentlemen ; its conti tidy to the Hoe, with its extensive walks and ground! for exercise, he magnificent Panorama commanded from its windows, and the acknowledged sa l u b r ity of the air of the neigcbourhoo d, make it a Host desirable situation for a end Which • BOARDING SCHOOL, E ngland. indeed, may justly be said to be unrivalled in the West. To the moral education of the Students the most rigid attention 4at all times paid. They accompany Mr. B. twice every Sab ,ath to the Established Church, read the Scriptures regularly, and ! 4 Y a proper regard to every other religious duty. In the forma ion of their general conduct and address, such habits are induced, )y a careful watch over every action, and by frequent admonition, is arc becoming the Gentleman and the Scholar. The domestic arrangements of the Establishment are under the mmediate care and direction of Mrs. BURT and her SISTER, vhose whole time is devoted to these important duties. In their relaxation from Studies such a system of rational amuse nent is pursued, by proper exercises, frequent walks, &e., as can tot fail to ensure the health, and cheerfulness, of the Pupils. It may not be unnecessary to state, that the Pu p ils are on no ac :want whatever limited in food, which is of the best and purest I :ind ; they have four meals a day, and otherwise every other corn- Fort that can be enjoyed at the table of the most affectionate parent. The Young Gentlemen enjoy the advantages of Sea Bathing luring the Season, under the direct care of Mr. B. A PROSPECTUS of the ESTABLISHMENT will, if re luired, be sent free of postage, to any part of England ; and at the .ame time, Families of the first respectability in Devon, Cornwall, tnd the adjoining counties, can be referred to.

Original Letters at 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury. To Mr. Grimstone, Broad-street, Bloomsbury. Ophthalmic Hospital, Chaiing-Cross. Stn,—Perceiving that in one of your bills my name is mentioned in anion with that of my late patient Mr. Latchfield, I beg leave to *confirm is testimony, and state the great benefit derived by the use of your ex. ellont herbaceous eye-snuff in his case, which was one of obstinate hroule ophthalmia, accompanied by opacity of the cornea, and a varicose state of the conjunctional vessels. His case was the first under my lotice in which the preparation was used ; hut, being struck by the ad. eantageous results, I resolved to lay aside prejudices, and advise its use in time eases in my practice at this hospital. The benefit was great, and has 'eel me still further to recommend it, but, unfortunately, the funds of the lospital are low, and our patient! too often cannot afford the purchase of 'our snuff, it being, from its price, almost as unattainable to the poor as )4tent medicine would be. If it be not asking too much, could you form my arrangement by which the really indigent patients of this institution 'ould be supplied with the eye-snuff at a lower price, on producing a re. onainendation to that effect, signed by me. If you could, I would ask •ou to be so kind as to write to me here on the subject ; in doing so you vould perform a great act of charity, and the obligation would be felt, not illy by the poor whore you would relieve, but by your obedient servant, .1. G. GUTHRIE. Mr. Grimstone has complied with the above humane request of Dr. 3uthrie Whitehall, March B, SIR —I think it but justice that I should offer my acknowledgments o you for the great benefit I have derived from the use of your o•st exquisite fragrant compound of herbs, called Eye Snuff.

BARON DUPUYTREN'S MEDICA TED POMATUNI for PRESERVING the HAIR, in two pre arations : one for gentlemen , and one, of proportionate strength, for ladies and voung persons of both sexes ; in pots at 3s. rid and ss. fxl. Although in number and variety there may be no want of specifics h er the pres, rvation of Hair, et the one now offered to the Public, is of such surpassing efficacy in preserving the Hair in thickness ar , cl beauty to the latest possible period, that its discovery should be hailed with delight by all who value one of kind nature's chiefest ornaments. The celebrity of Baron Duptiftren, whose professional skill was univer sally acknowledged and rewarded by great honorary distinctions, aftbrds the best guarantee for his Chemical Pomatum producing the intended etr•ct. Another most excellent property of this Pomatum is, that by using it immediately after the cutting of the Hair, any cold in the head will be most enctually obviated, a fact, which ought to be care full y at tended to, by young and old.

The time allowed was ten minutes. Mackenzie expressed his readiness to repeat the feat in six, but no one volunteered to accept the offer. Mr, Edwards, sen., Lord Jersey's famous trainer, died at Newmarket, on Saturday, in the 73d year of his a g e. He trained for his Lord shi p upwards of 40 years, and bore an unblemished reputation. A dreadful disaster took place on the Danube on he 221 inst. attended by the loss of nearly 30 lives. A large barque of about 100 tons left Rugensberg for Vienna on that day, with a number of passengers, upwards of 100. On the esvel leaving Shauf, a small place about six miles from Ru gensberg, she ran foul of a bridge, which struck her nearly amidships with a most tremendous shock which split her in two Darts. A large portion of the bridge fell upon the passengers. Au English gentleman , an officer in the Austrian army, named Westbrook Michael, to whom we arc indebted for our infor mation, was standing a-head, and the shock threw him several yards into the river with a portion of the wreck upon him. Being an expert swimmer, he succeeded in reaching the shore. The scene was of the most frightful description, and the cries for assistance were heart-rending. Men, women, and chil dren were borne down the rapid torrent. The scene at this moment it would be impossible to describe. Between twenty and thirty people perished in the river, and the loss of property was very considerable. The officer above-mentioned was the only Englishman on beard. Too much praise cannot be given to the noble Prince Taxis, whose house and purse were open to all those who escaped with their lives, but in many in stances lost all that they possessed. The exertions he made in person to save the lives of the passengers reflect the highest honour upon this nobleman. One poor woman, who had clung to the barque, had her head completely severed from her body. and a man bad one of his legs cut asunder. A neighbouring hospital is almost filled with the wounded. The loss of pro , perty is estimated at 15 millions of florins. USURY LAWS. Dr. BOWRING said, that finding it impossible that he could carry his Bill for the repeal of the Usury Laws during the present Session of Parliament with the leave of the House he would postpone its introduction until next Session, when, if he had the honour of a seat in the House, he would ask leave to introduce it on an early day. HAND LOOM WEAVERS. Mr. J. MAXWELL in rising to move that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she would be pleased to appoint a Commission for the purpose of inquiring into the present state of distress which pre vailed among the hand-loom weavers, said that he did not doubt the anxiety which her Majesty's Ministers felt to adopt the best measures possible for the relief of that portion of the community which was suf fering so severely ; but he regretted that their time and attention were so much employed in amend ing other laws, that they were obliged to postpone many measures which would be of immense consequence at the present time ; but he trusted that they would show them selves, at least, willing to do something for so large a class as that whose cause he had the honour of advocating.— (Cries of " Hear, bear.") He deeply regretted that he had been foiled in every attempt which he had made for the purpose of alleviating the distress of that large class of most useful artizans—every effort that he had made to call the attention of the House to the distress which pre vailed in the North of Scotland had totally failed. He did not doubt that the Parliament would be obliged to take up the subject—he did not doubt that the condition of these poor men would be alleviated by measures taken by the Parliament. He did not doubt that at some future time some other Hon. Member would take credit to himself for having the honour of alleviating the distress of the hand-loom weavers. It might not fall to his lot— he might not have the good fortune to be that man ; but still he would feel some satisfaction at having done all that was in his power to arouse the attention of Parliament to that distress, and to obtain some amelioration of the harassing condition in which those useful artisans were now placed. As matters now stood he thought that his p'an was to con fine himself to the attempt now to obtain the appointment of a Commission, for the purpose of inquiry into the causes of the deep distress which now prevailed. He was per fectly aware that there were many objections entertained on the Opposition side of the House to appointments of that de scription ; but he trusted there was no party in that House —that there was no man in that House—who would grudge the expense of a Commission, the object of which was to inquire into the best means of relieving the distress now prevailing among so large a portion of their suffering fellow subjects. In conclusion, he would only state that his firm belief was that if Parliament (lid not take some steps for relieving that distress before the close of the present Ses sion, disturbances would prevail of a more aggravated de scription than any the country had yet experienced. Lord DUDLEY STUART rose to second the mo tion, which he did with sincere pleasure. He begged to return his deep thanks and gratitude to the Hon. Member who had done himself so much honour by his repeated at tempts to obtain some alleviation of the miseries suf fered by the hand-loom weavers. He (Lord Dudley Stuart) was perfectly sure that lie had the gratitude of. that large class whose cause he advocated so ably, and he was sure that he deserved the gratitude of every man in the country who was desirous of seeing peace reign at home. In his opinion it was the decided duty of the Legislature to interpose in some way for the benefit of a million of men who were in a state of most desperate distress. If that House could do nothing for them, he thought it would be impressed on the minds of hundreds that it was useless. If the House separated without doing any thing for their relief they would, in his opinion, not only have a right to complain, but they would have a Lllu.ir w nieu avowed its inability to advance their condition in any way. The proposition before the House was of the most slender description. He wished it was in his power to move, but as it was not, and he was anxious to do all that he could, it was with much pleasure that he gave the motion before the House his utmost support. Mr. CLAY thought the greatest injury would be in flicted upon the hand-loom weavers by any interference on the part of the Legislature to regulate the rate of wa g es. He could not concur in the motion for a Com mission of Inquiry, as it would have the effect of creating unfounded hopes and delusive expectations among the ma nufacturing classes. Mr. BROTHERTON deeply commiserated the state of the hand-loom weavers, and should be happy if anything could be done to relieve them. He thought that advantage might accrue to them by the publication of the price of wages. He thought it the duty of the House to enquire into the state of the hand-loom weavers, in order that such means might be adopted as would ameliorate their con dition. It would be a great thing for that class of men if the Corn Laws were abolished, and taxation laid more upon property than labour. Good laws would, in his opinion, tend more to the advantage of the hand-loom weavers than the regulation of wages. Dr. BO WRING felt as strongly as the Hon. Member for Lanark could feel on this subject ; and if that lion. Member had come forward with any clear and distinct pro position by which their sufferings could be alleviated, it would have been the bounden duty of the House to have agreed to it.—(Hear, hear.) But when the Honour able Member only came forward with nothing but a vague motion, having no specific object in view, and which was rejected by a large portion of the weaving community themselves, as they knew they would, in the long run, be the sufferers by it, he could not give it his support. If the House would lend itself to the extension of foreign markets to which the goods of the manufacturing commu nity might be sent, they would lay a foundation for the happiness and prosperity of the people, and which might tend to some practical good. The Hon. Member concluded by saying he could not consent to the motion, because he did not see what object it had in view. In his opinion it could only tend to make a miserable people still more miserable, and cause a sinking population to sink lower. Mr. LAWSON said that although he had generally voted against the measures of the Hon. Member for Lanark, yet he should on the present occasion vote in favour of the Commission. Mr. WAKLEY—The Hon. Member for Knaresborough had informed the House that he had voted against all the propositions brought forward by the Hon. Member for Lanarkshire for bettering the condition of the hand-loom weavers. He would be glad to know what had altered his views on the subject? He could not believe that the pros pect of going before his constituents so soon could have produced that change in him ; but at the same time it would be satisfactory to the House to know why be had offered his opinions. It was stated by the Hon. Member for Kilmarnock that the motion contained nothing specific. Now it appeared to him (Mr. W.) that the proposition was as distinct as any that could be made—it was an inquiry into the condition of a suffering class of the community, and if the Committee was appointed, how did the lion. Member for Kil marnock know but that one of its recommendations would be an alteration—a repeal of the Corn-laws, which in itself might have a very great effect on many Hon. Members of that House. Notwithstanding the pains taken by the Hon. Member for Lanarkshire with the subject, and considering the number of propositions brought forward by him, and which had been rejected by large majorities, the present appeared to him as fair and simple a proposition as could be submitted for the consideration of the House. It was for a Committee to investigate the causes which had led to their present distressed condition. It was ad mitted on all sides that they were undergoing severe and pressing privations. All they asked was inquiry, and could it be possible that the House could refuse it ? He (Mr. W.) was one of those who thought that they could never benefit the working classes by regulating the price of wages, but on the present occasion he trusted the House would agree to the motion without a division, by which they would show to the working classes that even if they had not the power of alleviating their distresses, they were anxious to do so. Mr. GIL LON was anxious to know what course the Government would pursue with respect to the motion, but ho had been disappointed. The- distress which at present existed was perhaps such as at no former period had been presented to the attention of the House. Committees had sat in the years 1833, 1834, and 1833, and it had been proved that these men were living upon 2id. per day. Their condition had been getting worse since 1814, and bad as it was then it was worse now, for at least one-third were out of employment. Those who had employment could only earn from 3s. 6d. to 3s. 9d. a week, aid one-third of them were in a state of starvation. Was it to bo supposed that under such pr , here was no scarcity of anything in thisaOuntry tho t could make the people comfortable-4all that was vrante:.. was a proper distribution of it. T that, however, the Government would not assent—t e• magistrate 1, was not the poor man's friend.—( Hear, ear a andselagrs Last year his name had been put in the CeialtaiWini,‘ , W had determined never to qualify as a Magistrate for the purpose of sitting in judgment on the poor man who had been compelled to commit a crime in consequence of poverty. , Under these circumstances, a Government who understood. aa ta , their duty would ha ve p ro p os ed a vote for preventing '4 starvation ; but the present Government left the poor to ' starve.
