It has been known to many of the Nobi lity and Gentry upwards of eleven years, some of whom the Inven tor most sincerely thanks for their attestation of its merits, in the certainty of restoring Hair and giving it additional lustre and strength. Its virtues are manifold—it prevents the Hair from fall ing off or turning gray; a few drops on the crown of the head will remove the most distressing pain in that part produced by or at tended with faixtness ; and is acknowledg. d by the Faculty as the only specific known to cure that disease of the head called Porigo de calvans (which causes the Hair to come oft in patches) ; a few applications remove dandriff. This wenderild discovery is fully ex plained in a pamphlet, containing testimonials to its regenerating new Hair upon bald places, entitled, " Three Minutes' Advice on the Growth and Preservation ef the Human Hair," by W.

The attention of the philanthropic public has been attracted to the degrading system of low wages pursued for a number of years In this extensive and almost ly branch of female industry, the Proprietor begs to state that in on the form of the registered shirt a very great improvement is effected, and at the same Vine no absurd novelty is therein introduced, but that care Is taken to preserve the easy looseness so necessary to this garment, together with a plain smoeth setting front, end to retain this appearance during the whole time in wear. It is presumed that this object hes not been attained by others commonly in use, wiileh, too often rising in wrinkled folds with the slightest movement of the body, at once destroys the neat appearance so desirable, yet usually omitted in this essential but hitherto much neglected article of dress. But a further and meat inetortant advantage is offored ; the materiel of those parts which are seen when the shirt is worn, viz., the fronts, collars, and wristbands, arc cAnposed of the most beautiful of that fabric almost the sole manufacture ter which Ireland has obtaiiied celebrity, and the golden flax thin or cambric is now well known is be pre-eminent in the purity of its bleat a, presenting in those por tions of the registered shirt as described a beautiful snow white pearance. 42, Regent -circus, being the warehouse for the West-end, none but the best w- rkers are there emp oyed, remunerative wages being paid, notwithstanding which, there is no difference in the 'prices between the registered shirt and the ordinary shirt.

WASIIINOTON, MARcia 15, 1846.—The Oregon ques tion is in, as confused and excitable a condition as ever. What will be the result of the various motions before the Senate no one seems to be able to tell. Some doubt whether the " notice" will be given, and whether the whole matter may not be laid on the table, by a com plete revolution in the attitude of the different sections in the Senate. Many of the ultra-Oregon men, instead of being favourable to the notice, have only turned right round in favo ur of te action l has bee n a d o pt e d, i n y inactivity,' or no move ment This is atall.T consequence of the belief in k eep i ng the question open for futur e con ti ngenc y thr oug h out the country. In the meantime, Mr. Calhoun speaks t o - morrow, and crowds are collecting into this city f or t h e purpose of hearing of" coarsemas that distinguished man on the great question into which the country is precipitated. Last evening there was a caucus of the ultra-Oregon Members, comprising ten Senators, and many Members fia m the House. It is said they are against all negotia tion—against all compromise, and even against the notice, if necessary-- " that they will probably adopt " masterly inactivity, and lay the whole subject on the table, bringing forward measures for giving territorial government to Oregon, within the provisions of a treaty similar to that passed in 1821 by England. It is the purpose of the sticklers for the whole of Oregon to make it the political question of the day, and withdraw it from all negotiation, and take the chance of fighting for it, is 10, or 15, or 20 years hence. It is even believed that Mr. Polk may be induced to adopt this line of actioa, and thus be enabled to unite the whole party on some policy in favour of the whole territory at a future day, without opening the negotiation now, or endangering the peace of the country. Such is the con fused condition of things that any result may be expected as to the issue of the debate is the Senate on the nego tiation about Oregon. (From the New York Herald, March 17.) WASHINGTON, Mauls 17.—The sensation—for it was a sensation—awakened by the rising of Mr. Calhoun in the Senate, on Thursday last, as the visible sign that he would speak to-day, caused the galleries, three hours before the meeting of the Senate, to be filled. Mr. Calhoun, with a short and concise preface, en tered into an examination of the expediency of the notice. From the recommendations of the President, it was thought, at the beginning o f th e sess i on, that the notice would, lead to a series of measures resulting in war. Since that time the phase of affairs had materially changed. There was no more an idea enteitained now of war than that our title was " clear and unquestionable " to the whole territory of Oregon. Ile opposed, not withstanding, the unequivocal notice ; be was opposed, also, to the equivocal resolutions of the House ; and, if he should advocate the notice in any shape, it would be in the form of the senator from Georgia (Aar. Colquitt), embracing a recommendation for the settlement of the controversy by "compromise." 1 here were two alter. natives, of settlement —war, or "compromise." In every point of view the latter was the preferable mode. War would involve us in an inextricable national debt -1 ad to the re-establishment of a rotten paper system —concentrate all the power s of the States into a federal government, and terminate in a central military des potism. Peace would give momentum to the great work in progress—it would extend our commerce—it would increase our internal wealth —it would erect our roads and canals—it would relieve the States—it would extend our borders—it would preserve us Oregon—it would establish a beneficial fraternity of interest between the great nations upon ulnae exertions the civilisation of the tai world mainly depends —the United States and Great Brin. Mr. Calhoun regretted the impatience of the senators of the west, b u t h e felt assured that they themsokres were, perhaps, b eg i nn i ng to think that our title to the whole territory was not so c!eAr and unquestionable as they had at first imagined, and that ear was not the pastime of an hour. lie earnestly desired a speedy ad justment by compromise, because, among otter mea sures, the settlement of our controversy with Mexico depended upon the adjustment or non-adjustment of the conflicting claims to Oregon between us and Great Britain. In the event of a war upon this question, Mexico would at once act upon the offensive, and by Mexico on the south, under the discipline of British officers, and by British steamers along the sea-board, the Csnadians on t h e north, a British fleet upon the lakes, and the Indians on the west, we should be enfi laded on every side. THE QUESTION OF THE DAY. (From the .New Fork Herald, March 15.) The debate on the Oregon question continues with unabated inter es t i n the United states Senate, while the agitation spreads throughout the country. The points in dispute may appear small—being a difference between 49 deg. and 54 deg. 40 min.—but on this very difference the awful result of " peace" or " war" hangs. This is the contingency which gives edge—force—interest, to the debate in the Senat '. The last accounts show that Mr. Evans, of Maine, has finished a speech of two days i n length. He went through the usual topics connected with the title ; hut, as far as regarded his vote on the various propositions beftire that body, he seemed to bo in a state of bewilderment and confusion. "I do not knew," says Mr. Evans, " as to whether I shall vote for notice, or no Notice—l can't tell if it be peaceful, or not pcaceful-1 do hot understand the motive of the Presi dent. Here is the great difficulty—the deep embarrass ment—the awful mystery— which hangs over the Oregon question, inv. lying, in its consequence, the foreign rela tions of the country, to the most unexampled extent, and all the alternatives of peace or war." While this state of agitation is increasing —widening from its centre in Washington—it is not possible for the people of this great metropolis to look calmly and stand idly upon it, and to take no int-rest in such a question. h d e a y y, a w re e an h x a i v o e us th to e The President and Congress appear to be surrounded with They seem not to know embarrassment and doubt. ascertain the sentiments of the people, and from the in- E tiv e i e n tr andoeapvnoe and agitating i C y s a o g n i a :r t e i s n s g , every dications presenting v p i r e o e g - s r a e u ss dpurpose rn s strongest reasons for believing that the people, from this ensuing what to do in thepr t e h s e e m n t sel c v r e is s is e . time forward, will take this question7siionnleir own hands, of this great an,drhg election.i i s v e s ftohrethnatural and radiating gradually through the whole country, until the whole masses of the population become fermented and agitated.

It is ob vious that tho interests hanging upon this question, as connected with this metropolis, are mightier and broader, than the mere corporate interestsand deeper, city. Such being the case, it is very minds of our citizens to take the earliest natural for the presenting this question to the people at t he of the polls, in order to turnish some light as to their fur views, as soon as possible. The distributio p a () soefs city offices, or the value of a few local reforms, or the s cendancy of any political sect of politicians, all dwindles into insignificauce when compared with the vast foreign commerce of this large and city, populous , which is he ginning already to ton affected i by the portentous aspect of things at Washing, by tie embarrassed position of our foreign relations, by the mysteries o f the executive mansion, and by the agitations of the capitol. In this broad aspect of the present position of our Government and the people, connected with our foreign relations, we should not he at all s urprised to see this new and important issue involved in our approaching election ; neither should we be su.rprised torte "ininicipal reform"—the ascendancy of this clique or that cliqe the strength of this party or that party, compelled cont to give way to this new division, this distracting oversy on the subject of the foreign relations of the country. A new and important question is forced upon this community by the action of the Executive and the Congress•—a question in which is involved the vital prosperity of this city for years to come, beyond the value of twenty corporations, and the existence of all the parties heretofore in being. Are the people for 49 deg. or 54 deg. 40 win: ? Will they give up five degrees on We have received, vid Havre, New York papers to tke 18th of March. Their contents are important. The 'latest speech in the Senate mas that of Mr. Cal houn, on the 12th of March. He objected to the en quivocal noti.:e respecting the Dragon question, but was opposed also to the equivocal resolution of the Senate. Of the two questions, " compromise" or " war," he ad vocat-cl the former. The reasons which he gave for this conclusion will be found in the abstract of his speech, given below. The papers by this arrival are full of accounts of the disasters and destruction of property caused by the breaking up of the ice on the river, and the sudden rise of the weters. Numerous shipwrecks had also occurred; the details of some of which will be found amongst our extracts. Tue Hibernia steamer had not arrived at New York on the 18th ult. • - The money market was much depressed. The news from Texas is that the Bill for delivering the public property to the United States had passed the Senate without opposition. From Canada we have accounts to the 9th of March. The intelligence is only of local interest. For our shipping, news by this arrival we refer to the usual head. The following are our political and com mercial extracts:— "THE OREGON TERRITORY. "We understand that negctiations are on foot At Washington, among the seve-al sections of the demo cracy, for the purpose ->f f.tr: king a union on a certain of,--polieyLeat-tive Oregon question—ana tharirlt probable that all negotiation will be suspended—the policy of masterly inactivity' adopted—and a trial made of the sense of the country on 49 and 54 40. A few days will tell the secrets." ALLEGED RETIREMENT OF MR. BUCHANAN. (From the New I ork Herold, March 14.) WASHINGTON, MARCH 12, 1846.—The developments made in my communication in Tuesday's Herald, con cerning the "letter-carrying " of the Hon. Senator from North Carolina, from the •• White House" to the only pose office, on the night of Thursday, previous to the closing of the mail for the Cambria, I have reason to be lieve have caused a commotion in the Cabinet, the conse quence of which will be the almost immediate retire ment of •Mr. Buchanan from the post of Secretary of State. Indeed, Ido not see how he could remain in his present position, whilst the duties of his office seem to be performed by the President himself, without a degree of self-abasement, to which I know he never would sub mit. No, Mr. Buchanan is made of sterner stuff than to remain in any position in which he may be interested, whilst others arrogate to themselves the right to contrel it, and assume the exeicise of its proper departments, without befog willing to share its responsibilities. The Secretary of State being the only 54 40 member of the Cabinet, has also taken umbrage at the private consultation of the President with the 49 men of the Senate who have, up to this time, so strongly opposed both the letter and spirit of his declarations on the Oregon question, as contained in his inaugural address and message. Mr. Buchanan's retirement, therefore, from public life will be a sort of triumph for him, as the causes that have led to it will be those that are iden tified with the purest and most patriotic feelings of the country. Mr. Bancroft too, goes out about the Ist of April. Whether any others leave or not, I have not yet ascertained ; or who will succeed those it is difficult to say. Ido not believe there is one public or private man of any character that would be willing to accept a Cabinet appointment upon the seme terms that those at the various departments now hold theirs. No, Sir, not one —unless, indeed, they be willing to act the part of mere clerks—machines, without any volition of their own in the appointment of their subordinates, as well as in other things. When Mr. Polk first came here, the following Cabinet arrangement was agreed upon by him ; but, owing to Mr. Walker declining the subordinate station of Attor ney-General, which was assigned him, the plan was dis ordered, and the present Cabinet agreed upon. Here is the first cast of that curious concern, which I shall now put upon record, for the first time, for the benefit of the curious in such matters:— Mr. Buchanan, Secretary of State. Mr. Bancroft, Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Butler, Secretary of W ar . Me. Fairfield, Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Johnson, Postmaster-General. Mr. Walker, Attorney-General. Mr. Walker kicked the beam, and Messrs. Butler and Fairfield were floored. George Bancroft came near stif f ring the same fate by the opposition of Levi Wood bury, who kept him two or three days hanging by the eyelids, when before the Senate for confirmation. Was there ever such a state of things exhibitedbefore as this? ft has, however, this merit in it, that it fulfils to the letter, in a political point of view, what the Scriptures say in a moral, which is, " The last shall be ficst, and the first last ;" for it is now will understood that Mr. Walker, who was then at the tail of the list, is now at the head of the list, and means to keep himself there, too, no matter who may hereafter become his associates in office. I understand Mr. Mason is to succeed Mr. Buchanan but whether as an ad interim Secretary of State or no I cannot affirm. The House is still engaged in debating the Harbour Bill, which has been considerably lengthened by the opposition of some Members to a clause in it relating to the purchase, by the Unit( d States, of the stock of the Louisville and Portland Canal. It is difficult to account for such opposition, when the advantages resulting to the Government and people are at all understood. The Go vernment own virtually 5,353 shares, having only 4,647 owned by individuals. The Government originally owned 2,903, and the balance of 5,353—viz., 2,4 so—has been purchased by the company, with the net proceeds of the tolls, during the last four years. The 4,647 shares owned by individuals can be purchased now for about 570,000 dolls., which, if they bo purchased by the collection of tolls from the public, as provided for,by the charter, they will cost about 1,200,000 dolls. This amount, by that course, will have to be levied on the commerce of the western states, in the space of about eight years to come. At the end of that time, free navi gation is to be the result, which, if the Government make the purchase now, may be brought about in less than a Sear, by the course proposed by the Committee on Commerce. In the event of Government purchasing the remainder of the stock, in which it is already the largest shareholder, a saving of 630,000 dolls would be the result, in eight years or less. I hope the House will give the matters their mature reflection, before coming to a vote on it on Tuesday next. THE BREAKING UP OF WINTER—TREMEN DOUS FRESHETS. DESTRUCTION OP PROPERTY ON THE MERRIMAC.— The Boston Advertiser of the 17th of March contains a letter, dated Haverhill, March 1.5, nine o'clock, P.M., which says : " Our usually quiet village is in the greatest con sternation imaginable, on account of the sudden and un precedented rise of the Merrimac. About half-past seven o'clock this evening, the ice start e d an d move d for some time quite freely; it then choked up the island below, when the water above began to rise rapidly. Ere we were aware it was flowing full tide into the cellars and basement stories of the buildings on the river's bank. So sudden and rapid was its rise as to render it almost impossible to save any of the various property deposited there. While I write, all the cellars cn the river side of the Water and Merrimac -streets, for the distance of nearly a mile, are completely filled, and the basement stories of many stores, and the kitchens of many dwelling-houses aro en tirely flooded. One man saved his children, who were quietly asleep, only by wading through water up to his waist, then taking them to a chamber, thence through a window, and so upon the roof of an adjoining building, escaped. Some families have been driven from their parlours without having time to take a single ar ticle of furniture. The firm of Montgomery and Co. is said to have 20,000 dolls. worth of shoes and leather now under water. In many places on these streets men are at this moment paddling from door to door in boats, or on pieces of ice, trying to secure floating property, or transport females from the furious flood. One man in the last stage of consumption is in one of the aforesaid houses, too far gone to be moved away. He has been removed, however, to an upper room, where he will pro bably before morning embark on his last long voyage. The water still rises, though it is now higher by two feet than in the great flood of 1818. Everybody is out, in valids, as well as many who will become so by their exposure. Lanterns, over shoes, arks, life-preservers, boats, and Bangor boots, are in great demand. " 10 o'clock.—The water is reported as at a stand. If so, we have hope it will drain off gradually, without sweeping away buildings and bridges that must go, if the ice starts at this high pitch. Should we find ourselves at the mouth of the Merrimac to-morrow morning, we will add you a P. P., dated at Newburyport, describing as drily as the nature of the case will permit, the pro gress of the flood. "11 o'clock.—We are all here still. The ice• dam below has just given way, to the great relief of the ac cumulated waters and the affrighted people hereabouts. For a few minutes our two bridges were in extreme danger ; but all that is now past, and we breathe freely again 66 Monday Morning. —Our relief last night was only temporary. This morning we find the water as high as ever, and still rising. The amount of damage done is much greater than we last night supposed. At present we dare not conjecture how great it may be. Littl e River Bridge is gone clear, and many small wooden buildings standing along on the banks of the river were entirely crushed by the ice, and many others moved from their foundation. Two of our principal business streets, for nearly half a mile are literally piled tap with huge masses of ioe and the ruins of buildings."

NEW DIVISION OF PART IES. cauldro he politica l The great i ssues w hi ch have been cast in the like some chemical agent, and precipitate to the bottom that which has heretofore 1 predominated. In 1844 a great mass of the men who, in 1840,supplrted Harri son , votep for Polk, w hil e many who had stuck to Van Buren t:.; the last, indisposed with the Texas agitation, and too timid fbr bold movements, sided with the Conservative principle, as exemplified in its embodiment, Clay. Ilrell, the Polk party succeeded —they selected their President, a majority of the United States Senate, and a majority of the House of Representatives. The .Presi dent has administered the government in a manner sa tisfactory to all moderate, sound-thinking, no -party men, but his originally warmest supporters are now breaking up rapidly into factions. The southern Polk-men go for a "masterly inactivity" on the Oregon question--the western Polk-men go for 54 50, and "no compromise but at the cannon's mouth"—while the northern Polk men go for 49, even if war be necessary, and as much more as can be peacefully secured. Out of the conflict which is thus going on among the various sections, a new party, or perhaps new parties, must inevitably spring. However the question may be decided, all can not and will not be pleased. The Whigs are equally distracted on this question ; one section of their phalanx is somewhat disposed to go to war for 54 deg. 41 min., while the other would rather lose the whole than fire a gun. No matter how the question is decided as between the nations, we mutt have a breaking-up, and a new or ganisation ofparties, . Tlistre ..a,re aumbersiadissatisfied men 6t fati en ce in each of the present parties who would gladly participate in such a movement, and there are two or three of the great minds of the nation, in the Se. uate and elsewhere, who are preparing to lead it on Democrat and Whig ere likely to become obsolete terms, and most probably the net divisions of our political world will be classified, like those in England, as Con servative and Radical, or some such terms. _RLIAMENTAItY BUSINESS.

TEE INVERNESS bTEAMERS.— The Ab.72rdeen Steam Navigation Company's .fine steamer, "North Star," James Anderson, commander, performed the voyage from London to Inverness, last week, iu sixty-two hours, having called at the usual ports during its course. She sailed again on Mon day with a great number of passengers and a cargo of live stock and general merchandise, for the London market. Mr. Napier, the celebrated engineer of Glasgow, is, we un derstand. building a large iron steamer for this Company, which they intend to employ in the Inverness and London trade. The inhabitants of the North of Scotland have thus, by the enterprize of this public-spirited Company, had the markets of London thrown ()pen to their produce, and, as is invariably the case in all legitimate commercial transactions, all parties are gainers. The London consumer gets a better supply of food, the Scotch producer gets a better price for his produce, and the Company gets a fair profit in the con veyance. OPENING OF THE RADISGATE RAILWAY.—The South- Eastern Railway Company have fixed Monday for the open ing of the Ramsgate line of railway, on which occasion the magistrates and gentry of the town and district will be en tertained with a sumptuous dinner by the directors. Exten sive preparations are in progress to celebrate the event, and it is expected the company from London still reach Rams gate about two o'clock. The opening of the Whitstable Railway for passenger traffic took place on Tuesday last. This line, it will be recollected, was made as long back a s 4832 for the conv e y ance o f coa l, the waggons being drawn by ropes and stationary engines. A few m Gn tl is ago it was leased by the South-Eastern Railway Company, who have since had the rails replaced by heavier ones. It branches off from the South. Eastern at. Canterbury, within 100 yards of i the station, and is about nine miles in length. ROBBERY AT THE RESIDENCE oF TUE EARL OF RiroN.—On Monday afternoon, some thief managed to effect an entrance into the residence of the Earl of Ripon, No. 1, Carlton-gardens, by, it is supposed, sneaking down the steps of the area, and stole therefrom a silver sugar basin, richly chased, and weighing about 15 ounces, with which he suc ceeded in getting clear oft 'TILE A It3lY.—The 17th Lancers, whose destination for Ireland was announced some weeks since in our columns, will embark at Liverpool, for Dundalk, which will be occu pied as head -quarters; one troop, however, if not more, will proceed farther north, and be stationed at Belfast. The 3d or Prince of Wales's Dragoon Guards, now in Ireland, is under orders for Scotland. The Ist Royal Dragoons, from Dundalk, move to Cork. The sth Dragoons have relieved the 10th Hussara at York, and the latter regiment has ar rived at Canterbury, prior to embarkation at tGrtivesend for tl-e East. The 11th Hussars will arrive from Newbridge, county of Kildare, on the 30th and 31st. In answer to in quiries made yesterday, it was stated that Sir George Murray was better. TEE ROBBERY OF LORD BURLEIGH'S JEWELLERY AT ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE —At the General Quarter Sessions of Cambridge, on Tuesday, Edward Ellsbury, a youth, was indicted for stealing from the rooms of William Alleone Cecil, Esq., commonly called Lord Burleigh, the eldest eon of the Marquis of Exeter, at St. John's College, jewellery of the value of from 40/. to 50/. His Lordship is an undergraduate of the University, and occupied rooms in the second court of the above College on the second-floor. On the evening of the 26th ult. he went out to dinner, about half-past six o'clock, leaving an open case standing on a dressing-table ' containing vario us ar ti c l es of jewellery. Be tween ten and eleven o'clock he returned, and on inspecting the case found six sets of gold studs, a gold chain, and four valuable gold pins missing, of the value previously stated. He immediately adopted the recessary precautions with a view of gaining the restoration of his property, or the detection of the thief; but nothing was heard of either until the 10th instant, when the prisoner endeavoured to pledge a gold pin for five shillings at Mr. Folkard's, a pawn broker, in the Blackfriars-road, London. The case against the prisoner having been gone into, the Recorder sentenced him to seven years' transportation. It was understood that the Court would use their influence in sending the prisoner to the model prison, Isle of Wight.

Continue, we beseech thee, to go forth with our armies, whensoever they are called into battle in.a righteous cause ; and dispose the hearts of their leaders to exact nothing more Irons the vanquished than is necessary for the maintenance of peace, and security against violence and rapine.

This form is directed to be used at ni::rning and even ing service, after the general thanksgiving., in all churches and chapels in England and Wales, and in the town..of Berwick upon-Tweed, upon Sunday, the 12th inst., or the Sunday after the ministers of such churches and chapels shall respectively receive the same.

GEORGE ;JONES, and carricci noun! Mr. SAVAGE, in rising to propose the next resolution, said he wished it to he distinctly understood that that society bad nothing to do with the proceedings of guar dians in their leealitiea ; their of was to a:d the peer, and to instruct them as to what they had a right to get by law ; and a consequence of the existence of such a society he believed would ba to put guardians or the per and their officers upt , n their guard in doing their duty. He then stated that the last year's returns were 300,0001. for law e.xpeases in litigation betwcea parish and palish, al. to which was bound to support particular paupers. But he had asked intelligent gent Linen whe ther they bad ever known a case where, the guardians having been brought up hefore the magistrate for refusing relief, money had been spent by the parish in def:ikling the poor man ; bat the suppo!ition was admit L novelty. To do this when necessary, that instit u ti on had b:en formed. He then referr e d to practical illus trations of the present system. he said they employed the poor in workin.; throughout the kingdom, and he thought that was well, but they had given the poor a kind of labour which degraded them, and did not call oat tht it better feelings. He would ask, had they allowed the guardians of the poor to make their labour an article of merchan dise? Lie thought that ought to be put down. lie had referred to circumstances at the last meeting. Ito had referred to bone-crushing. Whether that was healthy or unhealthy he would not say, but it did appear to him • suspicious that guardians should employ the poor to crush hones at an under price to manure their own • grounds with. He had made a statement as to female labour. He had stated the practice at Andover :a! otherplaces. Be knew that persons in London cut out 100 dozen shirts, and sent them down to a manufacturer, who would employ his influence with the guardians in getting them done at a much less rate than they could be done at in London., He had said so om the former occasion, and hoped that inquiry would be made into the practice in n y t t l i t i o n li ne o ‘ u v s s e pa o p f er C s o , m t m he on f s. onolifntegr tlAleiettererpowratsapipeenatretdo him:— to bo a " High-street, Andover, March 12, 1846.

Mr. COCHRANE moved, and Captain EveNs seconded the resolution, " that the report and proceedings of the committee be approved and adopted." An amendment was made against the money qualifi cation fur membership. The resolution was carried by a large majority. - Mr. BUCKINGHAM, after adverting to the interruption which had occurred in -the course of the proceedings of the evening, said that the principle had been reco-nised in the law of Elizabeth, that all h a d a ri g ht to be sus tained. his said sustained, and meant not that ex periments should be tried, as had been of late, on hove small a portion of food a fallow man could five. - society had not been instituted to take up and con,ider the laws, for the Legi.eure had net give.l them power to alter or to make the laws.

Nowhere was there such an extreme of riches and poverty as existed in English society, and the reason he thought that they continued to exist in tle. same seciety was the eetent over which the different classes wi re spread. On board of ship it weuld be diff.eent. In a caw of calandtr, double rations could not be served in the cabin vihile single rations were distributel in the forecastle.
