BOLTON, THIIIISDAY.—Yesterday evening Dr Bow - • ing, the Liberal Member for this borough, in accord• ince with his annual custom, paid a visit to Bolton, for the purpose of explaining his Parliamentary conduct to ais constituents. The meeting took place in the Tem . lerance Hall, which, notwithstanding the wetness of the veiling, was crowded in every part. An attempt had )een made to excite a prejudice against the Honourable dember on account of his continual refusal to vote for ho Ten Hours' Bill, but it failed. HOOERT HEYWOOD, Esq., was called to the el-air, and • be briefly stated the abject of the meeting, and called .ipon Dr. Bowring to address the assembly. Dr. Bowiuso came forward amidst chaeas, and said— Gentlemen, in one observation of my worthy friend, vhom you have honoured by - calling to the chair, I do not concur. He says he is sorry to see such a crowded assembly. Now, in such a presence I rajo:ce ; 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 account of the manner in which have discharged that high and honourable mission with which they have entrusted me. When I im• 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 to you— your servant, and you my masters—of the views I have formed and the aotes I have given on public affairs; and to 11' eav our 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 the end of a session in which questions of [the greatest importance have been discussed and passed—l come to , ell you of the part which your representative has taken, and I come to inquire of you whether, in your judgment, have worthily fulfilled the engagement upon which I entered—whether I have don e what I promised to do, or 'ailed in co doing. The aeaaion has beenlong 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 sanction 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—for I know, as you all know, that the rich and the mighty have many to care about their concerns, many to legislate for their interests, 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 been in accordance with them, or with the opinions of many of them. Yet to many questions on which the well- 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 !wart, 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 Oe firm; and I hope that nothing will seduce me from the 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, and virtue of the manufacturing and labouring com munity, and headed by excellent men, they marched against 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 representative, 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 Admission, Is. ; Schools, Half-prico. H ALL OF ROME, GREAT WINDMILL. STREET, HAYMARKET.

Parties, as you are aware, are broken into pieces. The very Parliatnent that was sent to support monopoly was the instrument for its destruction—the very Parliament that was sent ' together to opp tae the demands of the people ceded 'hose demands—the very Parliament with whose advent Toryism triumphed has given Toryism to the winds.— ' (Loud cheers.) But now what is to be done for Ireland? ['here 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 hig!t end awful responsibility which attaches to him. Let the laws which govern Ireland govern England.—(Cheers.) Let us have no separate legislation.—(Cheers) Let Irishmen, and Scotchmen, and Welshmen, and English men be held equal in the judgment of the law. I would tot impose on Ireland any peculiar burdens, because I love Irishmen ; I will not give to Ireland any peculiar benefit, because I represent tho 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 fair. Ido not think 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 arty 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 t`..e 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 te 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 9f 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 ihe 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 tame, for a return of houses.

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 lot allow any department to sell old stores; and if they did, I would take care that the money which they pro deced should go into the Treasury.

THE MANCHHEsTEtt ATHENJEUM EN TE RTAINMENTS. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY. - The grand soirée and ball, which have usually comprised the whole of the annual entertainments given by the directors and mana gers of the Athenmum, have been this year preceded by a public breakfast to the principal guests, at the Albion Hall, Piccadilly. The breakfast was given yesterday morning in the handsome apartment denominated the concert-room, where covers had been laid for about eighty gentlemen. Mark Philips, Esq., M.P., President of the Institution, took the chair, and on his right were seated the Mayor of Manchester, his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, the Right Hon. T. M. Gibson, M.P., William Brown, Esq., M.l'., 1)r. West, and John Potter, Esq.; on the left of the Hon. Chairman were Joseph Brother ton, Esq., M P., Charles Swain, Esq., G. Dawson, Esq., M.A., and James Heywood, E-q. At the other tables were W. Chambers, Esq., A. Ireland, Esq., W. Gibb, Esq., Malcolm Ross, Esq., Edward Blackmore, Esq., J. C. Prescott, Esq., D. Gaskill, Esq., T. Baker, Esq , Z. Leigh, E s q., J. J. H a yeg, E sq ., E. P. Lamport, Esq., B. Syddall, Esq., T. S. Clayton, Esq., J. M'Gregor, ENq., T. B. Potter, Esq., Charles Mackay, Esq., LL.D.. John Sudlove ' jun., Esq., J. -A. Turner, Esq.. W. 11. Myers, Esq., Rev. H. 11. Jones, R. Leake, Esq., S. Bamford, Eeq , G. Greaves, Esq , C. Pountney, Esq., Dr. Booth, vice-principal of the Liverpool Collegiate lustitu tion ; Dr. Hodgson, E Chadwick, Esq„ poor-law com missioner ; J. Kennedy, Esq., James Burton, jun., Esq., E. T. Bellhowe ' Esq., Peter Thomson, Esq., IL T. Robberds, Esq., Peter Royale, Esq., W. Marsden, Esq., G. Winter, Esq., W. H. Ainsworth. Esq., Dr. Satter thwaite, Dr. E. Holme, C. H. Cope, Esq. Tho 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 Athenmum, it had devolved upon him to occupy that chair, and, with their permission, he would en deavour to state the object of 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 soirée 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 before 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, besed 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 well deserved it, of the royal patronage ; but be 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, upon 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.—(:fear, and applause.) They did not expect to be complimented by strangers upon the state 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 other improvements must soon have an end, the cul tivation of the mind. And while he spoke of mental cultivation, he did believe that our Manchester Attie- MUM 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 instrnce 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. • ;'• ~_ r,-t.,a, . . fr:,.., _,,,,,, i_., • SS 7 a - '.L.r..,:,_ . 7 . -. , gaol • A A -, ), , 1 ,' ~„ . _ 1 1 - I at' . . ~ .. :MC 4 , i'l ' - 7 , *:4... .1 F7 s _ „ ~,,,,,) ,' 7 1. ,.. :7, ,, 4. ~,„\ ~..., t _ J. , , J 1 , ,, , ( k--,4."

' He had felt that it was a mistake on the part of the A thenwum to have done him the honour of electing him their president.—(No, no)—breause he knew that his public avocations were such as to call him from town, and to prevent him attending their meetings and giving his attention to the gen. - -ral business of the institution ; he was, however, when he accepted that office, perfectly satisfied.that the office was an honorary one, so long as it was in the hands of more able directors, 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 desired to make it as useful as possible, and who, along with that desire, also posse sse d t h e means. — (Applause - .) Mr. EDWARDS then read the report, whie'i detailed the origin and pregress of the institution, and stated that the number of meta bees at present was 2,501. The CHAIRMAN said he had been requested to state that though Lord Morpeth had not been able to honour them with his company to breakfast., he was neverthe less in the town, and though absent in person was with them in spit it.—(Cheers.) In stating what was at this time occupying his Lordship's attention, he might ob serve that he wast experiencing a difficulty which was often ft It 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 had been opened in Manehester—(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 . immediatelyr o se , but spoke _HARLES MACKA Y,__ACKAY in so low a tone that but few of his observations reached the reporter. lle was understood to say that he was called upon most unexpectedly, but he could not help ex pressing the.ritcp sati.faction be 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 have a Minister of Education, he hoped institutions like this would receive his attention; that he might be induced, for instance, where such an institution had expended a thousand pounds, to give another thousand. In a large and wealthy town like this, perlieps, there might be little need for such assistance and encouragement; but in smaller towns, not blessed withprosperity 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 thin; no public library, no athenaeum, no public parks ; such institutions had been tried, but had not flourished. D sgrace 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 gratification in being 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 calls he 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 bad 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 bad 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 like the Athenwum. It might not lie the warmest pane gyric to pan upon them for having such an institution, but he would say that it not only di.i 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 wealth; or it must follow that shat had been a sufficient amount of knowledge or education for a small population would be disgracefully small for one very much ir.creased in that respect.—(Hear, hear.) Of eourn lie did not expect, nor should he ever supp ►se, that an institution like this would fur.nish to its mere- bers a cbroplcte education. The membersofsuZ . institution were already engaged in professional pursuits of !ifc, and he did not wish, nor bad they any means cf givng their time to the going through a regular course 01 e.location such as was given at the universities; but, considering that they hid a goorlibrary, w hich afford, d she means, to those who were desirous of it, of acquiring know', dge 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 deficient in this point in Ireland. They had been, till a late period, very deficient in the means of education generally, and though a great advancemement had been made among the poorer alas es, their system was still very incomplet-. There had long been, as the company was aware, a university r a. the education of the upper classes, but it appeared to him that they were cultivating the highest and the lowest, and leaving the middle classes comparatively neglected. —(flear.) There was some provision for those who were to be brought up to the learned professions, and 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 viously 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 ranted better schools for the middle classes, and institutions to furnish books, and for encouraging a taste for 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 supplied 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.) He 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 be the best that could be bestowed upon those wholooked 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.) IVith 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.) lie would become associated with some party clique, and his mind would become embued with narrow sentiments ; but if he had the whole, even if he did not choose wisely, he had at all events the best chance of doing so.—(Hear, 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 com pany, which broke up at a little before twelve o'clock. MR. STEWART, M.P. FOR RENFREWERIRE —We are glad to be able to state, that the sudden and very alarming illness of the Honourable Member for Ben 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 Ren frew where his many excellent qualities in private life have also contributed justly to endear him to a numer ous constituency, tho accounts of his illness caused a general gloom. which we trust will now be dispelled by this recent report of his improvement. —Caledon i an Mercu y. BRENTWOOD FAIR.—The attendance at this fair on Thursday, 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 quality, extraordi narily high priced 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, far which a ready sale was found on equally high terms. Some of the short-horn heifers were sold to go 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 night, an d h ave not returned. The evening was fine, but at four o' c l oc k on Wednes day morning the wind shifted to the westward and blew a heavy gale. She was seen under very low' can vass endeavouring to reach the bay.--,Falmouth Packet. AA TRAVELLER is WANTED, by a whole sale house, in the TEA TRADE.

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 Ilerhary, 11igh gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout 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 Regenator, fee , ing assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an lls. bottle If they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous hea-ache ; its a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady 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 frem corning 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 cases of nevous heiulache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the heal ; if v. ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten niinutes. It produces hair on children's beads 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. lit Vars addressed tv W—mara Grientwe ,Herhary, Highgate.

Highness the Archduke 0 &tine 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 ti• 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, th* well-known propagator and inventor of the groundless. or entirely misrepresented article, which the Breslau journals have given to the world, respecting the affairs of Galicia, has been arrested at Cracow, and called ;he bar of justice, in the very fact of distributing sedi tious writings.

By the execution of this plan, 60,000 acres of the most fertile land will be gained, capable of pro ducing anrually 40,000 . bushels of wheat. VIENNA, Oc - T.l2.—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 so intolerable, and beginning to assume a gloomy appearance. The Estates have been hitherto engaged with the first royal proposition, viz., the I.,ction of persons to fill the higher 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 cellor, 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 fille d, c o n trary to the laws of the kingdom, with membe rs of the same confession of fBAa-itrho n(CKoptinntemT, theelekiPresident , the Gover of h Governor of t Trans} Transylvania and Diet, are both Protestants), and that a Diet may be 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 Atons, requesting the magistrates of the city to adopt measures for 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 fie!ds 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 commerco. 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. importation, ii onsEn D t s e u—. place from a ll p ar t s , e i t h er f or t h e fi rst t i me, or i n suc h production Among o f t quantities as until thi s season was un k nown , may b e p a r f h o e r e i n g u n m s e o r i a ct rt ic y vtaking f titularly 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 sailing vessel from Hamburgh (the principal place from which it is im ported), of no legs than 333 bundles of the article. This root, coming under the general term of vegetable, is now ee of duty, and the steamers from the Continent have invariably n quantity of the article as a portion of their general cargo, for consumption in this country. RAILWAY SPEED.—Competition for speed is going on. The Great Western, it is said, are about to build an engine with eight wheels, still larger than the "Great Western," but with the weight more equally distributed over a greater number of wheels, so that it will not press on any one point with so great and incessant weight as their "Great West ern, " and will unite all the improve ments which the working of the latter has pointed out. The engineers of the uniform gauge are not idle in the work of seeking for greater speed. Mr. G. Stephenson has more than one engine ready,- which are to accom plish sixty miles an hour. The Brighton Company also have two engines which are to make the journey of fifty miles within an hour. —Railway Paper. Mr. Hedworth Lambton, M.P., left Forrance's Hotel yesterday, for Brighton, MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. ' THE USE OF THE TREADWHEEL. A very numerous meeting of the magistrates for Mid dlesex was held yesterday, at the Clerkenwell Sess 4 ors 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 now 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 treaelwheel; on the contrary, that, as regulated in the prison, it is a salutary exercise, and varies the monotony - ef 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 riot he undesirable to confine this species of punishment to the inure hardened criminals, and to ex,-mpt from it those females who are committee for the first time and for c')mparatirely trifling offences. Li this opinion as to the absence of any injurious effect the surgeon entirely con curred, as far as regarded the health of the women; and the matron, in cerebration of this testimony, stated the remarkable fact that wiih 266 prisoners in the house, there is not one in the infirmary. The report was, as usual, rec e iv e d, an d or d ere d to b e printed and circulated. Mr. Midis, the chairman of the visiting justices, asked the Hon. and Learned Magistrate 1% hether, a ft er t h e opinions which had be en g i ven 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 suf.Y.,gestion, and after some other business had been gone through, procceded to move " That the treadwheel bo disused in case of female prisoners at Coldbath-fields house 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 than that of the greatest metropolis in the world.— (Hear.) Why then should it be allowed to remain ? Ile should move its abolition j in the terms of his notice of motion. Mr. RoTcrt seconded , the motion, and suggested that the prison should be sold to a railway company as a City terminus. Mr. Wilks opposed the motion, as did Messrs. Fresh field, Talk, 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. lialswell,, a nd il% Armstrong spoke in favour of 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, w receive the annual report, &c. Mr. CRUDEN, the Chairman, in opening the business said he had to congratulate the shareholders on a most succes,ful 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. 3.1.; and after making the usual disbursements, the balance in hand amounted to 1 983/, 18s. 3d.; besides which there was due from the Blackwall Company 1,299/. 14s. 10d. and 17/. .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. MATTREWS 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 pers o n, 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 he arranged, but he would ex plain bow the costs had originated. There was an a c ti on 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 751. 3s. ld. There were then two oth r causes tried—the touting question and another—in which the solicitor, not content with ;liarging mileage upon one or two occasions only, but every time he made a journey to Maidstone there was mileage, mileage," so that the account amounted to upward of 20e/. Mr. MATTHEWS said he would not attribute inten tional misstatement on the part of Mr. Roberts, but he wished to correct What had been said, as that gentleman had act stated the facts. The amount claimed was upon two suits at the a7sizes, and a case of reference after wards, upon which upwards of 159/. hid been paid for the actual expenses of witnesses, and that the wheks of the law charges were orly 26/. 12s. 4d. A SHAREIIOEDER expressed his opinion that it was a question which ought to be arranged by the directors, ind not by the proprietors, echo placid every confidence •u that body. and Mr. Matthews either had or had not ,heir confidence. Mr. CRUDEN reminz:ed the meeting that they were assembled either to vpprove or not approve of t'ze audi tors' report, w hien, on being put, was unanimously carried; The next question, he said, was to know their ,pinion with respect to a dividend, it being proposed to pay five per cent., cud for the convenience of those hying at a distance, they could receive it at trice, they having brought their money-box with them fur that purpose. And it was also proposed that they should have, in lieu of the Star, a packet of superior construction ar:d ligh!er expenditure, by which they hoped to secure a successful result for the season of 1847. Mr. ANDERTON said he had heard that tome of the boats had been mortgaged ; he wishei to kcow if such was the case? Mr. ItonEnTs acknowledged that 2,0001. had been borrowed, and upon which the proprietors had had 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 6,2501 ; he would rather be for s h u tti ng the con cern up, and dividing the property. Ile then moved as an amendment, " That, alter 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 fed 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, it they constructed a vessel it would the at their own individual risk. He had done so, irt nling to wait until the matter could be discussed at the 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 b,netit of the company, he thought it too much for them to be open to a most pugnacious opposition from the remain ing two. Mr. HENRY BURN, a director, said he was as anxious about 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 shou!d regret the boats getting out of the hands of the company into those of private individuals, and he quite agreed with 11r. Redman, and should dissent from their having a new boat. The amendment having been put and rejected,lthe 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 expenses at tendant on the repairs of the five boats amounting to only 161. The directors, auditors, and chairman baying been re. elec ted p , as a t efsterr,iaeveso, the eoef meeting thanks ,p s to a t r h a e t agentlemen for their NEWSPAPER CURIOSITY. —It as not generally known that there has been, for the last eleven years, a ne ws _ s news paper in Harrovrgate, which, in reference to the periods swallows,of i publication, resembles r i e ts s e a m pp b l e e a s ra b n i rcdes each h passage.su ccesive season Like the with the commencement of the summer months, and with the swallow it disappears at the close of the season. Its 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 the sleep 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 Harrowgate 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 imitation of the lessees of theatres, thank ing them for past patronage, and bespeaking f u t ure fa vours. The edit or 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 acquaintance and pur sue our humble labours."
