One of the most improving and extensive FEE-SIMPLE ES TATES in the United Kingdom, containing 50,000 Acres, the greater part situate in the manufacturing district of the county. MR. W. W. SIMPSON has the honour to an nounce that he has surveyed, by order of the Noble Pro prietor, and intends to OFFER for SALE by AUCTION the • Autumn, at the Royal Hotel, in Belfast, The (iALGORM or GLENATIGERTY, the BRAID, and KELLS ESTATES, in the county of Antrim. A large portion of theseestates 'is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys of the River Main, and the Braid and Kells waters. The Galgorm Estate includes the fine mansion of Galgorm Castle, on which a considerable sum has,peen recently expended in valuable improve. ments. • Attached to the castle is a demesne of about 150 acres of superior land, in hand. On the property, which embraces a great volume.of water-power, there are many extensive bleach greens, beetling and corn mills, in the occupation of wealthy and respect able manufacturers ; and several of the tenantry are engaged in, or connected' with, the various' branches of the linen tradef the' ma• jority are Protestants, and, in the highly favoured province of Ulster, are remarkable for their industry and intelligence. The , bogs attached to the estate are very valuable, and there are exten sive tracts of pasturable 'and easily reclaimed mountain lands, abundantly stocked with game. The property is in the .immediate neighbourhood of Ballymena, and approaches within a-quirter of a mile of this, the largest inland town in the county, and is only 20 miles distant from Belfast. The entire of the estates includes a surfaze of about 50,000 acres. The Belfast and Ballymena Rail way, the works of which are contracted for, passes through the pro perty, as will also two other railways in contemplation. Particulars are in preparation, .and may, in due time, be ob. tained of Messrs. J. W. Sherlock and Sons, 29, Grenville-street, Mountjoy-square, Dublin, and Fermoy, Ireland; at the place of sale; and of Mr.. W. W.Simpson, 18, Eucklersbury. Mr. Simpson,' while drawing the attention of capitalists to the above valuable estates, wishes to state that a second edition - of his pamphlet has been published, on which the " Times" news paper made the following review :—" Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well-known and deservedly respected auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a pamphlet, entitled A Defence of the Land lords of Ireland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant,' the Dublin Evening Packet,' in reviewing this work, gives the following character of its author Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman, of vast ex. perience in matters relating to the improvement and Salue of land in his own country. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most com prehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally streng, and a stock of practical knowlege and sterling sense which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly ac quainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much, perhaps, as any man in his time to improve her resonrces, by en couraging the investment of British capital in every department 'of Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion, on the score either of interest or partiality.: His testimony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is unquestionably unimpeachable.'

The following observiitions.comprise the substance of Mr. Simp son's predictions - relittWe'to the abolition of the corn -laws, which were noticed in'ttielibwspapers in connexion with the sale of large estates-4n Suffolk,- in April 13S1, and he now has the satisfaction to observe that they•aro already-to a great extent realised. Mr. Simp son acknowledged that till within the last year he had been a tho rough-going Protectionist. After a three years' test of Sir Robert Peel'a measures, added to his extensive experience up to the pre lent pdrlod iu tlid letting and sale of landed property, he was now. free and proud 'to • confess that sliding and other scales had fallen from his eyes ; the result of which was, that he was now a thorough-going,.anti-Protectionist,. from an honest and firm convic tion that rents which had.rbeen. set on fair and liberal principles (within the last seven years) would be permanent; and he fearlessly statedlliat the . years' purchase on such rentals had risen within the last sirmonths, - 1111d' in all piobitbility would continue to rise on the settlement of the great question in respect to free trade in corn, &c. For the _truthfulness of these statements, Mr. Simpson re ferred. to recent iettlngs. and sales which have been published. not only bz_himself, but by other. auctioneers and land-agents. The Consumption and "demand of an increasing population (in the ratio - or about 1 - ,000 • 'per day), - the capital, skill; industry, and enterprise of Englishtnen, in addition to the easy and inexpensive transit of their produce to the first markets in Europe, would form such a counterpoise- as would enable us . t o compete suc cessfully with the miserably uneultivatedlands and minds of exotic growth. Not only the increase of population, but ,also the accutau lation'of wealth, is going on in thiS 'country, arising from the employ went of capital. In - the vitriol's branches of agriculture;trade, and commerce, the -clear- profits - of 'which, it is inferred, amount to' 50,000,0001. annually ; this, and the high value of the funds,'must in duce remunerating prices, in corn : and produce, and stimulate a desire to invest in land, the only property, indeed, which can be considered essentially petniiinent 'under adverse circumstances produced by po litical events. Instead, therefore, of the - motto, - "agitate, agitate," let us substitute that of "cultivate, cultivate," and let landlords assist iniproving tenants by. making advances (in the nature of improve mentain drainage, .&c.), of the additional Capital which may be re quired, charging for the same at the rate of five per cent. on that, expenditure, which shall be judidously laid out. Hence the tenant farmer-will mini 'lin 'additional' benefit of at leastlffteen per 'cent.,. and a perrnanenthuprOvemea of the value of the farth (quasi land lord) will Supervene: It is stated by those who ought to be consi dem', the most .competent judges, that if this wise measure of free trade had not, been carried out, the price of corne and produce would have risen to such an extent, as to re tice the greater portion of the population of Ireland to a' ilate bordering on starvation ; and in England a sinfilat resdlt would have occurred amongst the manu facturing and labouring poor. 'Mr. Simpson has also been assured by most respectable salesmen in Smithfield market, that if it had not been for the alteration of the tariff, beef and mutton would long since have risen to Is. per 1b..;. and even now the conclusion arrived at is, that instead of the prices of corn and meat being too lbw, between this and next harvest they will obtain a height beyond that which would be conducive to the general prosperity of the country.'

OBSERVATIONS RELATING TO THE VERY IMPORT ANT ESTATES AT PRESENT ADVERTISED FOR SALE BY AUCTION AS ABOVE. • ---- • MR. W. W. SIMPSON, for obvious reasons, has recommended the proprietors of Irish Estates who have honoured him with their confidence, to postpone those sales, which were advertised to be sold by Auction . in April and June last to the autumn of this year. In reference to the copy of the Treasury Minute, dated , the 31st August, Mr. Simpson considers himself justified -in stating that the present Government are going to work in good earnest to facilitate the employment of the labour ing poor of distressed districts in Ireland, and in other respects to carry out such comprehensive and ameliorating measures as will ensure order, industry, and the increased prosperity of the country. The confidence created by the contemplation of these measures has already caused applications from English and Irish capitalists for particulars of estates at present advertised: and an offer already received by Mr. Simpson for an estate in the county of Donegal (consisting of 4,100 acres, and advertised for sale by auction) of within a small sum of the amount which would be accepted, con. firms the correctness of the foregoing conclusions. These ob servations apply also to 'mortgages. M r . Slumson cannot help thinking that the all-wise and omnipotent Disposer of human events has visited Ireland with the potato scourge for the purpose of stimulating the Government and landed proprietary to form plans, and make such advances as will improve the condition of millions of the Irish small and other tenants : and that, in. stead of cultivating and feeding solely on a vegetable yielding only twenty-five per cent. of food nutritious to the human fr a me, they will thereby be enabled to grow for consump tion white straw and green crops in all their variety, produCe which, under a proper course of cropping, does not exhaust the power of the land as the potato does, the conversion of the straw moreover yielding tenfold the manure obtainable from the potato plant. Under the measures of a wise Government the unbounded resources of Ireland will be developed, and in a few years, instead of a large portion of the population subsisting entirely on their miserably sub-divided and sublet land, factories will spring up, and , the extraordinary water power of the country will be most profitably applied ; the population will also reap that reward which will sweeten their labour, by enabling them to withdraw their de pendence on that plant which from the test and result of two years, was clearly never intended by Providence to be essentially the food of man Mr. Simpson, with great deference, submits that It would' be presumptuous to attempt the.cultivation of the potato to any great extent in the ensuing season.

SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY.—The association opened six of its lecture bazaars at eleven o'clock this morning ; but the attendance was in most instances very limited. Intact, up to nine o'clock last night only 187 members had arrived. It is to be hoped that a great addition to the number will be made in the course of the day. The subjoined sketch•will show, •how the morning has been occupied : SECTION A.—MA.THE3IATICA.I. AND PHYSICAL SCIENCE. The papers read here, ns their-titles will show, were'of a very technical and uninteresting character. They were as follow); : Erman,, Profes:.or.—Report on. Gauss's Magnetic Constants. - Pewit], Professor.—On the Bands formed by partial' Interception of the Prismatic Spectrum. - Laming, Mr. Richard.—,On the ConstitUtion and Forces of the Molecules of Matter.

SECTION p.—CHYMICAL SCIENCE, INCLUDING ITS APPLI CATION TO 'AGRICULTURE AND THE' ARTS. The list here also was unpromising to the general reader:— Osborne, Mr. Ilenry.—On the Action of Water in the Suburbs of Sotithampton on Lead. . . West,'Mr, Williams, F.R.S.—On the Use of stating, with the results of Analyses, the nature of the Methods employed. Hunt, Mr. Robert.—Report on the Actinegraph. Hunt, Mr. Robert.—Notices of the Progress of Experiment un the Influence of Light on the Growth of Plants. SECTION C.-"GEOLOGY AND PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY. The first paper' read in this room was by Mr. R. ICeele, "On the Artesian Well on the Southampton common." 'This excited some local interest, and the attendance was large. The Marquis of Northampton took occasion to congratulate the Southampton members on Ate advantage to be derived from the visit of the Geo loglEal Section of the association. The lecture was short, but a very long discussion ensued. It appeared that ' nearly 20,000/. had been already expended, and without Penetrating. through 'the chalk the work had been so far successful that 18,000 cubic feet, of water per day had been obtained ; the town, however, required 40,000 feet ; and the question is whether a larger supply will be obtained . by going deeper. The opinion of - Professor Hopkins seemed to be that suc cess to this extent was extremely doubtful ; the well was sunk where the chalk stratum was inclining downwards towards the Isle . of Wight, near to which there was a large dislocation. Some of the subscribers to the pro ject pressed the learned Professor rather hard, but he avowed that, if he were one of them, he should proceed and go through the chalk. Ultimately, it was under stood, that some of the members of the Geological Sec tion would examine the neighbourhood, and make any suggestions they could upon the subject before leaving. Southampton. The other papers read were-- - - Goeppert, Professor,tof Breslau, communicated by Sir R. L Murchison.—On the Origin of the Coal in the Sile sian Coal Fields. Ormerod, Mr. G. W., F.R.S.—On the Northwich Salt Field. .SECTION D.-ZOOLOGY AND BOTANY. This section sat longer than any, and indeed almost reached three o'clock, the hour named on the paper as the limit for all. The papers read were theSe:— Hogg, Mr. John, F.L.S.—Additions to .ft Synopsis of the Classification of the Genera of British Birds. Blackwall, Mr. John.—List of Periodical Birds at Llanrwst. King, Mr. W.—Notice 'of New Species of Animals found on the Coast of Northumberland. Owen, Professor.—On the Homologies of the Ver tebrm, and on the Temporal Bone. Alder, Mr. Joshua.—On New British Nudibranchiate MollUsca. Forbes; Professor Edward:—On the Pulmograde Me duste of the British Seas, with Notices of the Medusas at present abundant at Southampton Water. Mr. King's paper described some animals brought up by dredging, and found in the pleistocene beds of the tertiary strata. He was considered to have confirmed Captain Laskey's observations, which announced the discovery of these animals many years ago. One of the species found by the captain was the terebratula cetacea, which had been found by Mr. King. Another species wv panopea aldrovandi. The statement of the existence of such animals in our seas when made by Laskey was doubted. Professor Owen's paper defended the study of compa rative anatomy on the principle of the unity of composi tion ; instead of its lvading to au opposition to the doctrine of final causes, he believed it was in perfect har mony with that doctrine, and illtistrated his position by instances. He applied his views to the structure of the, bones of the head, and pointed out the errors of Cuvier and Agassiz with regard to the nature of the homolo gies of the temporal bone. Professor Agassiz expressed his delight at finding that Mr. Owen had taken up this subject. He felt that he could not defend his own views. and promised to re examine the whole matter. 'The subject of trans cendental anatomy could not have fallen into better hands than those.of Professer Owen. Professor Edward Forbes's paper was on jelly -fishes. This family of animals had hitherto been imperfectly understood and studied. -By means of the dredge and the •labours ' of. Mr. M'Andrew, of , Liverpool, he had. 4een enabled- to study this - , family, and proceeded. tp classify above 50 species, 30 of which had hitherto been undescribed. He recommended the example of Mr. M'Andrew to other-possessors of yachts, as by their means and the use of the dredge many most important points in natural history might be worked out. Be also exhibited some curious living animals which he had recently taken on the British coast. Amongst others, livinespecimens of the curious fish, the lancelot. (Am phioxis lanceolatus of Yarrell.) SECTION E.—PILYSIOLOGY. SIDON STEAM FRIGATE. Dr. Searle read a paper on the cause of the blood's circulation through the liver • and Dr. Fowler another, on the sense of touch, with relation to the higher mental processes. This latter was a sequel to a former paper read by him, on a sixth sense (the muscular sense, as it is called), being, in fact, a modification of the sense of touch. it was a very abstruse metaphysical discourse, —one of the many which suggest a doubt whether the excitement of a public room is a favourable condition in which to test and weigh statements upon subjects that require calm and profound thinking. • PRICE EIGHTPENCE-HALFPENNY.

Saved! • The Patenteee beg to call public attention to the following facts, the advantages resulting , from the invention are various and striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com buttion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily fbr any period ; and such is Its purity, that it neither affects Or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have made to the introduction of gas in dwelling-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of flirniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c. ; these are entirely obviated by the "PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS Buena." As the cost of laying on gas is much lower than is corn imonly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for club-houses, hotels, manufactories, . and public buildings. One of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a'sum immeasurably lower than spirit, Oil, or candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble. The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, are shOWn by the annexed authentic opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, SirJoux =rung, President, in the Chair. "A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was oxhibited. The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the centre of ; the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. The air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was heated, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery, and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling w ith the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion, The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, where these burners have been used. In comparing the Consumption of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, arid trying the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a better light, with a saving of rather more than one-third." CEUTIFICITE.

It is to be held in the Victoria-fnoms —a building full of lecture apartments. The large:4 room has been selected for the occasion, but it has the misfortune to be down stairs. When his Royal High ness alights at the entrance of the house, he will have to proceed down into the part commonly appropriated in our houses to the kitchen. However, a carpet is being laid upon the stairs ' and with other arrangements for a facilis decensus, the best face will be put upon the mat ter, though a meeting in the area will be something new to the Prince. The day's proceedings hitherto have been dull in tho extreme ; but I have amused myself with a pamphlet which the Southampton local committee present to every member of the Association. A very respectable gentle man has been persuaded to write a description of the town and its neighbourhood, for the use of the visitors on this occasion. He is quite an enthusiast, but evi dently has an eye to the useful as well as the pleasant. The want of water, for instance, being a sad trouble to the inhabitants, the difficulty is very naturally handed over to this " congress of men of science," as he phrases it, whilst if any of them are disposed to migrate, they may see the need the town has of an infusion of better folks, for " it has been ascertained that in one district of it, among 1,094 persons above fifteen years of age; 957 do not attend an y pl ace o f worship." As for antiqui ties, if the members of " congress" have a taste that way, every acre of it, it appears, swarms with relics. Here, as tradition runs, is " the pond where King John's horses were watered ;" an ancient hall over the Bar-. gate being used to this day as a court of justice, the judges still' " sit by the gate." The Queen lately cast anchor here—" her Royal vessel occupying the very station which the galleys of ancient Rome were wont to occupy 3" and it is alleged to be " indeed- highly pro bable" that the quay of Southampton " may have been the scene of Canute's long famous rebuke to the flattery of his courtiers." _ _ It seems that the treasurer's account for the past year contrasts rather unfavourably with its predecessor, although the statement just presented includes the meeting at Cambridge in 1845- , -n town at which 1,000 - members then met, and which had the benefit of being remembered as the place where, at the meeting in 1833, every member's signature was obtained, and a litho graphed fac-simile of each published as a " volume of . r. varieties." The receipts from subscriptions during the past year have fallen to about one-half the amount of the previous year's; the small number of annual sub scriptions leads to ;he conclusion that a large proportion of the members have availed themselves of the privilege of subscribing 10/. in one sum, instead of ii. a year. The credit side of the account, presented yesterday, is kept up only by the sale of 1,000/. Consols. The grant% for scientific purposes have sunk from 8311. in the one year to 6351 in the other; but the officers' salaries have risen from 175/. to 521., the latter sum, howerer, being stated 16 be for 18 months. Six o'cLOClL—Prinee Albert has just arrived in the Fairy, and has driven off to Lord Palmerston's seat at Broadlands, about six miles from this place. His Royal Highness will dine there, aid will come to the Victoria rooms at eight o'clock. The Fairy has returned to Cowes, and therefore the Prince will sleep at Broadlands. EXPERIMENTAL TRIP OF THE This fine war steamer, constructed at Deptford on the plan of Sir Charles Napier, and fitted with engines - of 550 horse-power, on a principle entirely new in its ap plication to steam-vessels, was tried down the river yes terday to ascertain her capabilities. The Sidon left her moorings opposite the dockyard, Deptford, at two o'clock having on board Captain Superintendent Sir John Hill, Commodore Sir Charles Napier, Captain Pelham, and several other scientific gentlemen. The river was very crowded between Deptford and Greenwich with vessels, steam-boats, and barges, and it was a task of some diffi culty to steer a vessel of the magnitude of the Sidon, through them without injury to the smaller craft, but by skilful management the difficulty was overcome in a very satisfactory manner and the vessel passed Greenwich and Blackwell without much difficulty. On entering Bugsby's Hole, a schooner, th; Two Sisters of Whitby, had just lifted her anchor, and was floating up with the tide, and although warned in ample time to starboard her helm, the steersman ported it, and the vessels came in contact, the paddle-box of the Sidon crushing the stern of the Two Sisters, and the fore-yard of the steamer breaking down the top-mast of the schooner. The Sidon was presently got clear, and proceeded down the river in fine style, after- a delay of about three-- quarters of an hour. Captain-Superintendent How— ton Stewart, C. 8., of Woolwich Dockyard, came on board on the Sidon arriving opposite that place, and she then went - down the river to Long Reach, her speed being guessed at from tight to nine knots per hour. The timbers of the Sidon are put together in the strongest manner, and her accommodations on board are of a superior description. The engines above the water level are entirely made of malleable iron, or of a com position similar to gun metal, as hard as the best iron, to resist the action of shot. The expansion gear is worked by tappits below, and the shaft is per fectly clear of any trapping. The stroke of the engines is six feet four inches, and the number of revolutions forty per minute with paddle-wheels thirty feet in dia meter, Altogether the experimental trip was very satis factory, and the vessel returned to her moorings - xiff Deptford-dockyard at five minutes past six o'clock, r.sr. During her progress up the river a very pretty model of a reefing-paddle-;:heel was exhibited, and the principle of its • construction and advantages explained, to show that the floats could be regilli:led by the crew on deck to suit the changes in draught of water according to the load on board at the time. • The Sidon has all her guns on board, consisting of four 56-pounders of 88 cwt. each, on gun-barrieges, with traversing platforms. Two of these guns are placed at the stern and two at the bows. She has four 32-pouuders of 56 cwt. each on the upper deck, and ten on the lower, making here whole armament 18 guns, with two light 6-pounder field pieces mounted, to be drawn on shore by men or horses, and two 12-pounder carronades. Her masts have been fitted with Harrierlightning conductors, and no exertion has been spared on the pail; of her de signer to render her a perfect war steamer wort4y of the British navy.

A girl, only ten years of age, employed in a bead manufactory in the Rue de Faubourg du Temple, was so tormented by her associates that she became weary of life. Having made a packet of her little property, she left it, with a paper directing its distribution among her sisters after her death. She passed Sunday with her mother, and on going to bed took a most affec tionate leave of her and the rest of the family. She got, up, but instead of going to ber work, walked to the canal and threw herself in; but, fortunately, a man going to his labour saw the act, and jumping in, brought her safely out. After a short delay, she mentiofted where she lived, and he took her back to her mother.-- Parris paper.

A DEAD BODY FOUND.—The body of an elderly woman, five feet two inches in height, of stout build, anti who had apparently moved in humble life, was, on the 4th instant, cast up by the sea at Birchington, for the Isle of Thanet. From the state of the body, it had evidently ii,?en several weeks in the water. She had on when discovered a light drab mousseline de laiue gown, spotted with black aild pink, a flannel petticoat, a thick plaid petticoat, white cotton stockin g s, marked I. N., ' and thick boot shoes, much worn . In the pockets of her dress were found three keys, one cl. f them five inches long, having-attached to it a small obloi?g copper label, marked "N. Tower," a light brown silk pirse, with plated clasp, containing 9s. 6d., a dark bone-ii3ndled knife, with two long stout blades, but bearing no marl; or name, and a tooth packed up in a brass thimble. Oa her wedding finger was a thin gold ring. The clothes and other matters have been preserved by the Deputy of Birchington, as likely to lead to her identity.—Dover Telegraph.

Mr. Porter, the chairman, however, desired one of the two secretaries who attended him to begin the business of the day. Subsequently the number present increased to six, besides those three official personages ; beyond that number it never rose. A report was read, written by Dr. Alison, of Edin burgh, on the medical relief to the parochial poor of Scotland under the former law. Dr. Alison considered that this inquiry would supply the best test of the effi ciency of the voluntary system of relief, which had pre vailcl in Scotland until the New Poor-law. Returns had been obtained from 40 towns, and it was found that in l s of them the parochial authorities had supplied no medical relief at all, and in the rest only trifling occa sional payments'had been made, chiefly during the pre valence of some-epidemic. 25 practitioners had made a return of the estimated money value of their unrequited professional labour bestowed on sick, paupers ; the average was 401. ss. 7d. a year.. In thirty-three out of the forty towns in_ question, no altefation had yet , taken place. Of 325 professional men in the country districts of Scotland who had been ap plied to, 305 had furnished information respecting -their remuneration for attending sick paupers; 94 of them had been receiving spore remuneration, 39 of them an annual one varying from a few s hilli ng for drugs up to 20/., but only 13 received above Si. a year; among those who had received no regular annual sum, two had been paid 3s, each; in one case that was the sole remu neration received during 12 Years of attendance on a number of paupers averaging 70 constant, and 13 occa sional; in the other instance it was given for attendance on passing paupers to other parishes, and the medical gentleman in that ease - had received nothing for 21 years attendance on paupers numbering 44 constant patients. Of the 305, 211 had never received any remuneration of . any kind for their professional attendance upon the parochial poor, or for drugs ; one of these had at tended 400 paupers for eight years, Another calcu lated his loss by this at 701. a year; 208 had had occa sion to give wine, food, clothing, &c., to the sick poor, from their own limited income, or to beg such things from their wealthy neighbours f or them; one had known the Session sell the effects of his deceased pauper pa tient, and appropriate the proceeds without paying him. 136 returns had been obtained of the estimated value of unrequited professional labour in the country districts; on an average the parties had been ten years in practice, and the sum total given by them to the poor in professional labour and outlay was 34,447/., or about 2531. each on an average; they calculated the average for each pauper, including drugs, at 4s. a year. Four fifths of these practitioners reported their opinion to be in favour of giving the poor the right of applying to any medical man in the district, instead of being compelled to resort to such as had been appointed for them by the parochial boards. A desultory conversation followed, in which Professor More, of Edinburgh, observed that Scot land owed her poor-law almost wholly to Dr. Alison's exertions. The relief now given was generally 2s. 6d. a week to a single poor person; and, considering the price of food there, that was a tolerable provision for them. _ _ Another paper was then read; a review of the Mines and Mining Industry of Belgium, by Mr. Richard Valpy, f9ttuded 01A OW mod of the Meister of Public Werke CONTRACT FOR WELSH COALS FOR DEPTFORD.
