BRIGHT IN CIORLTON-ON- MEDLOCK. On 'Tuesday evening, Mr. Bright addressed the electors aril others of Chorlton-on-Medlock, in the Town Hall, G.Tsvenor-square. The room was quite full, and many covld not obtain admission. Amongst those present we not cod Mr. Aldermen Mayson, Mr. George Hadfield, the Bey. William Gaskell, Messrs. Samuel Lees, John Rail ton, William Shuttleworth, Wm. M•Cartney, Charles L'onntney, William Edwards, &c. A fee/ minutes after eight o'clock. Mr. Bright entered the room. accompanied by Mr. Alderman Mayson, Mr. George Hadfield and others, and }vas loudly greeted. Mr. Alderman MANSON was called to the chair, and in introducing Mr. Bright to the electors, he said, that to I relinquish the privilege of returning our representatives from among ourselves would he to admit that a mistake was made when the Reform Bill was passed, and that we are obliged practically to return to tho system of pa ' - teenage which formerly prevailed, though in another form. Mr. BRIGHT then addressed the electors for nearly fifty minutes, chiefly on topics and to the same effect as in former addresses. These were the corn-laws, national taxation,,and the questions on which his principal vcte had been given to Parliament, the first of which was the grant to Maynooth, on which he said that no inducement on earth should lead him to vote for any extension of the principle of religious endowments. He next spoke o' his votes against Lord Ashley's Ten Hours Bill, and aft,: commenting strongly on the course taken by Mr. John Fielien, Mr. Oastler, and Mr. Ferrand, said he could rn conceive a guilt more dreadful than that of a man coming bef pre a large audience of working men, and endeavour ing to persuade them, unless he had first deceived hi m self, 3hat by some sort of -Act of Parliament jug glory they could have twelv, hours' wages for ten hour,' work. He then dwelt 'on his Parliamentary exertiee with ref rence to the game-laws, and he believed it was ro egotism in him to say that the array of frets one statements whirl he brought forward was such as it was irnpo-sible to resist, and accordingly the Government granted a Committee - of Inquiry. He need not go into any facts to show . that this had been a very large expen diture of labour, and a much larger expenditure of money than he was at all called upon to go to. The true principle was, that no legislative encouragement should be given to the maintenance of wild animals f-T the purposes of sport, in a country so densely peopled. and reeptitito. all the land can produce, as is the condi don or the United b Kingdom. He lord voted on the same side with Mr. Viliers, Mr. Cobd- n. Mr. Brotherton, and Mr. Gib<on, on all the questions, with the single excep tion of the Maynooth grant; and he appealed to the past, and said he was not a changed man; that his opinion had been formed for years; that he did not change as I e grew old, but became confiru ed. He had always felt it his duty, in the House of Commons, to stand forward on every occasion when slanders were heaped on the popu leiter of these siistricts. There was an attempt to make IN ROMNEY MARSH. Capital first-rate FREEHOLD INVESTMENT for Trustees, having 'no drawback for Repair of Buildings or for Timber.

He would not minutely examine the grounds upon which it was proposed to bring forward Lord Lincoln. It would be unbecomin ,, in him to endeavour to explain how much there might be in them of patriotism, and how much of personal ft eling, but he was quite sure there was not a man who felt an honest aspiration for the people's cause, who did not anxiously hope that this constituency would maintain the high and honourable character it had gained amongst the constituencies of the empire.

The very capital and desirable FREEHOLD RESIDENCE, dis tinguished as Stapleton Grove, containing rooms of handsome dimensiens and offices of every description for a large family. It is particularly suited for the retreat of a wealthy merchant, er any one desirous of a mild marine climate with all the advantages of a great city. It is separated merely by the road from the c 'lurch, and from the grounds of the episcopal palace, and adjoining the demesne of the Duke of Beaufort. It is well secluded; being completely en vironed by about 30 acres in lawns and paddocks, studded with handsome timber and ornamental plantations, through which is the carriage approach, with a rustic lodge upon the turnpike-road. There are capital stabling and walled garden, with hothouses, pinery, &c., and an ornamental tower in the grounds, com manding extensive scenery.

Mr. MEDCALF—Are you in favour of what is-popu larly termt-d universal suffrage and vote by ballot? Mr. BRIGHT—I am most decidedly in favour of vote by ballot. With respect to universal suffrage, I take the question to mean whether I am of opinion that every man of 21 years of age and upwards, untainted by crime, should have a vote. After quoting Blackstone, Mr. i3right said, then comes the question, if you admit the .bstract right, that every man prima facie is entitled to a vote, how you, being in Parliament, would be disposed to extend that vote to him. Mr. Bright said he thought probably it would not be an advisable thing at once to extend the suffrage from the one million who now hold it t , ) the six millions who would hold it if all were in cluded ; but he thought it would be most advantageous .to the state that there should be now even a large num ber admitted at once within the pale of the franchise. Mr. MEDCALF asked if Mr. Bright was in favour of the House of lords, as at present constituted, being re tained as a branch of the Legislature? Mr. BRIGHT said no man had ever heard him say a word, in public , or private, against the desirableness of having a house of legislation not cow tituted like the House of Commons. And those who had supposed that politi cal lib-qty was impeded by the House of Lords, had rather made the mistake of directing their attention there, rather than to the house called the House of Commons.

Established in Wells s'ffeet, 1820. Mr. MEDCALF next asked: Supposing Government were to separate the Irish Church from its political po sition, how would Mr. Bright propose to dispose of its revenues? Mr. BRIGHT said he should resist any attempt to ap ply them to the endowment or support of any religious sect whatever, as a religious sect. He would not take them frma one church to hand them to another. Mr. GEORGE HADFIELD then moved the following re solution :—" That this meeting of electors, gratefully ac knowledging the valuab'e services of Mr. Bright to this community and to the country at large, during the seven years' arduous struggle for commercisl reform, and enter taining the highest opinion of his integrity and abilities, as shown in his past public and Parliamentary career, resolves that he is eminently qualified to represent this borough in Parliament, and pledges itself to assist in securing his return, by every lawful means, at the next 'enr'ral election." Mr. WILLIAM rowmALL seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN then put the motion, which passed with two or three dissentients. _lr. BRIGHT, in acknowledging this vote, said that his friends hail the start in the canvass ; that they were in the field with a man known to very many of the electors personally, and almost to all through the public press.

I am confident that vast increase of food, & c., may Iv obtained by manazimc judiciously, and systematically clrrying out for a time. what may be termed the principle of increase. Take. for instance, a pea , plant ic in a very rich ground, allow it to bear the first year—say half a dozeu pods only, ane remove all the others ; save the largest single pea of these, sow it the next year, and retain of the produc three pods only ; sow the largest one the following year. and retain one port ;. agan s.lect the largest, and t 1 next year the sort will by this time have trebled it, z w.ight.

I have only just read in the last number of the Athenceum (Dec. 5, 1846), a brief notice of the reported discovery, copied from an American paper, and which the editor has inserted with a judicious caution to his readers, that no competent authority has yet vouched for all the facts. I feel sure that the story relates to part of a human pelvis (a fieg: • meat of the cs incminatum), which was shown to me at Natehez last spring, together with several very reneirk eble remains of megatheriod animals. I visited Natchez in March last, on which occasion I was informed of , tl,e antiquity assigned to the human relic, and having (Ka. mired carefully into the evidence, came to the conclusion that the priests of the co-existence of the human indivi opal with the megatholeid and other extinct quadrupeds found in the vicinity was altogether unsatisfactory. %e are indebted to the skill and indefatigable industry of Dr. 13ickerson, of Nateher, for having formed a tplcnilid collection of organic remains, derived from the superfl - - cial deposits of that neighbeut hood. All these he the kindness to show me, and afterwards accornpini , d me to the principal spots where they had been procured. One of these, distant about six miles from Natchez, has been named by him the Mainreoth ravine, from the ske leton of the mastodon discovered there ; and it was there also that the fragment of the human relvis supposed to have been contemporaneous with the megatherium was picked up. _ _ In order to explain its position, a few words on tl:e eology of the region willbe indispensable. The bread; fiat, alluvial plain of the Mississippi is bounded en its Atstern side by a table land, about 200 feet higher he river, and having a very gentle upward slope to - 23.stward, or towards the interior.

Far these reasons we car not conscientiously withhold our tribute of com- Tnendatioa frosn Mr. Jay, of Regent -street, who was, we believe, first and foremostamongst our countrymen in fol lowing the French fashion of establishing a Maison dc dela. A startling demonstration of the manner to which this innovation has been appreciated on the: ide of the Channel is to be ft;ri ►d in the still increasing influx of business which has set in towatds Mr. Jay's establishrnert ; in fact, so strong and overwhelming has been the current of late, that although he already possessed two spacious houses, Nos. 247 and 249, in Regent-street, the increasing en croachments of his business have compelled him to invade the neighbouring territory : and he has now taken pos session of the adjoining premises, No. 251, so that his show-rooms surpass in extent those of any other estab lishment of a similar nature in this or any other capital. His last visit to Paris has led to the production of fabrics and paterns, under his own surveillance, of beautiful texture and fancy ; and, in fact, this exposition has such claims' on our exhaustless lady friends, that it would be superfluous for us to dwell upon them. We should not omit to mention that the different shapes and accessories of the various cloaks and mantels on view are all transferable into mourn ing wear, with suitable adoptions, according to the material, &c.; and although there is so much to look at and admire, we must not pass unnoticed the cleverly sketched series of female figures by a Parisian artist, showing and defining the various costumes at present in favour, as also the vast store of winter habili ments which are to be found at the London General Mourning Warehouse. As Aerisflyems is a guest who pays us annual visits, we surely ought to make durable preparations for giving him a warm reception ; but however sharp may be the attacks of our formidable visitor, it is possible, with the assistance of Mr. Kirslay, to keep him at bay, even it we were condemned to dwell in thrilling regions of thick-ribbed ice. In his magnifi cent magazine of furs are to be found the rich and costly Irkutsk Russian sables, the minener and ermine, and a splendid collection of fur seal dresses of various forms, and devices, to suit the taste of the male and female friteux. Amongst those who have already worn mantles ind paletots of this velvet-like fur, are her Majesty and the Royal children, and nearly all the aristocracy of this country, who, thus mantled and muffiel in their warm attire, are not afraid to meet the rough weather face to face. As soon as the world arrives in London, Mr. Nicolay's establishment in Oxford-street will be so thronged that it will be impossible to inspect minutely that is to be seen there, so that we would counsel all vho happen to be in town to drive there at once. The inventive genius of the age is ever on the watch for the ?liquid Noir, and one of the most remarkable features of the day is the passion for registration. Even on the hustings, and in Parliament, we have patriots com ►laining that the battle of the constitution must le fought in the registration courts. We have registered coats, hats, umbrellas, and nightcaps. We lave registers for births, deaths, and marriages ; and is yin pass Doudney's shop, in Old Bond-strict, you se, graceful looking garment hanging in the windows, which you recognise as having seen the like on shoulders •rf the nobility—many and this is his registered cloak, which he emphatically asserts will become the classical dvelope of the age. In the fecundity of his inventive bower, he has also hit upon a contrivance which trust -ventually supersede the old fashion riding belt. By means of this novel method, the wearer can, in a mo ment, and unperceived, contract or enlarge his waist to he extent of six inches. However useful this invention .nay be at present, it would have been more so Johnson duce, in the city. And a-propos of the busy locale in the .ast.

At . tbe same congregation the following graces passed he Senate:--,-. r 100 feet, any remains of man lie buried by natu causes in undiQtuibed loam or clay, the antiquity of the human race is thereby established to an extent far greater than has ever yet been made out in any instance which I have had an opportunity of investi gating. It would follow that the human race had sur vived the extinction of one group of terrestrial mam malia, and seen another succeed and replace it; and also that man had lived in North America when the geogrs phical configuration of the country was very different; in other words, before the valley of the Mississippi, or even some of the strata forming its boundary rocks, were in existence. Every deposit entering into the composi tion of the bluffs of the Mississippi valley must be older than the alluvial plain and delta of that river; and we thus obtain, itiependently of any evidence attesting great changes in the animate world, a measure for esti. mating the minimum of time which has elapsed since ',"ne bluffs originated. For we must allow a sufficient series of years for the deposition of all the sedimentary matter forming the plain and delta of the great river. I have endeavoured to calculate the period (one of enormous duration, relatively to the historical epoch), and ex plained my views on the subject in a lecture delivered to the British Association at their meeting at South- . ampton, and a c orect, though incomplete abstract ot" that communication appeared in the Athencrum for S'dp tember 26, 1846. To come then to the point—what proof is there that the geological position of the human pelvis bone was such as to demonstrate its anteriority in date to the entire hydrographical basin of the Mississippi, and the forma tion of its alluvial deposits and • delta ? The yellow shelly loam, or loess, before mentioned, extends foi twelve miles inland, or eastward from the river ; and, in consequence of its incoherent and destructible nature, every streamlet flowing over it cuts out for itself, in its way to the Mississippi, a deep gully or ravine. This denudation has of late years proceeded with accelerated speed, especially in the course of the last thirty or thirty five years. Some attribute the increased erosive action, to partial clearings of the native forests ; others to Vi l e effects of the great earthquake of new Madrid, in 1811-12, by which this region was much fissured, ponds beilig dried up, and some laud-slips caused. Colonel Wiley, a pro prietor in this part of the state of Mississippi, and who well remembers the district before the year 1812, assured me that the Mammoth ravine, although now seven miles long, and in some parts 60 feet deep, with its numerous ramifications, has been entirely formed since that year,, when the earthquake occurred. He has himself plougkcd some of the land, exactly over the spot where the ras ine is now situated. It is, hoa ever, enough for our present purpose tb affirm that whatever be the date of the origin of this watercourse, it has of late years been consider ably er.larged and lengthened, its banks presenting everywhere precipices, in which the loam, unsoliditled as it is, retains its verticality, as is the case vial, its counterpart, the loess of the Rhine. Land shells seen in great numbers at the depth of about 30 feet t'rem the top, and the fossil bones of the mastodon, and other extinct quadrupeds, are usually picked up in the bed of the stream after they have been washed out o±: the undermined cliffs, where, tmwever, some few have Llso been observed in situ. Under these circumstances, as I was given to understand, the human pelvis was pro cure.l at the base of the cliff. Even if it had been dug out in tba presence of a practical geologist, it would. have been necessary for him to be more than usually on his zuard against deception, for land-slides lip. ve detached large masses from the cliffs, and these may easily cover human bones previously washed down by the stream, or dislodged from the soil near the top of the cliff, where some old Indian graves, so com mon throughout the country, may have been undermined. It is not rare to find on shoal and on the shores of the islands in the Mississippi at low water, numerous bones of man, mingled with those of extinct animals, washed out of the bluffs. In these cases tho human bones are as black as the quadrupedal fossils, having been apparently stained with peaty matter, in the soil where they were buried ; but no geologist has ever ventured, on this evi dence, to infer the contemporaneousness of man and the fossil species thus accidentally associated After I bad made up my mind that the remote anti quity of the human bone of Natchez was questionable, and that its occurrence in the ravine might be explained in the manner above suggested, I found that Colonel Wailes, a friend of Dr. Dickerson's, who accompanied us in part of our excursion, and who has alto made a fine collection of the fossils of this neighbourhood, not only shared my doubts, but had made the same conjecture especting the probable manner in which the fossil may have been conveyed to the spot where it was found.

Great as might he the effect or theca societies as to cultivation and other scatters, he looked with much greater interest and attention to their effect on the lab :wring classes.—(Loud cheers.)
