Sadleir, John At twelve o'clock yesterday a most respectably-at tended meeting of the inhabitants of this parish was held in-the Vestry-room, " for the purpose of taking into con sideration the propriety of petitioning the House of Commons against the proposed measure." The chair was occupied by Mr. T. C. Bates, who was supported by Mr. Alderman Sidney, Mr. Deputy Obbard, Mr -Williams, and several other influential inhabitants of the parish. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY, M.P., proposed the first reso lution, to the effect that the meeting was of opinion that the proposed increase of the window-tax was unneces sbaeryendanurdedunicnaltlehde t f i o m r e , aontd peace,one w p i a ii r e t h ieu o la u r g ly ht a n t o p t r t e o . sent, when trade and commerce were so much de ' pressed. He said he had great pleasure in joining with his fellow-parishioners in demanding from the Government of the country justice to that class which contributed in the largest degree to the taxes of the empire—he meant the middle class of society. The Prime Minister demanded this increase to the income-tax on the ground that there was a falling off in the revenue. The Prime Minister had laid his proposal before the House, and it remiliaed for the people to say whether they would sanction it or not. He, for one, would not object to the Government receiving every necessary assistance, but he certainly was of opinion that the present difficulty could be met by more popular means than those suggested. Why, ho would ask, should there be any increase to the naval and military forces, and why should there be any fears of war raised, particularly in the thirty-fourth year of an uninter rupted peace ? In 1835 he found that the estimates for the army, navy, and ordnance amounted to 11,730,000 L On various occasions since there had been slight in crease,, and they bad now crept up to no less a sum than 17,841,0004—(Hear, hear.) All this was done in time of peace. He considered the proposition to increase the army or navy a. most unnecessary one. He might safely say that no tax was more unpopular than an income-tax. After some further observations the Hon. Member proceeded to observe that the tax was one of a most unjust nature in its operation ; it pressed most severely on the middle and industrious classes, while it scarcely touched real property. After some further remarks the worthy Alderman concluded by proposing the resolution above referred to. Mr. Deputy OBBARD seconded the resolution, which was put from the chair and carried unanimously. Mr. J. B. BACON proposed the next resolution, to the effect, " That the meeting was further of opinion, that the income of the country would be sufficient to meet the next year's expenditure and the deficiency of the last, provided the national expenditure were submitted to judicious and efficient retreechreent." Mr. DENEY seconded the resolution,petnd expressed a confident hope that the Prime Ministerivtujd be induced to abandon the measure. This increase of taxation would, ho feared, ultimately bring the, middle classes to utter poverty. The resolution was also carried by acclamation. Mr. WILLIAMS moved the adoption of a petition em bodying the views of the meeting, and in doing so he called for a revision of the pension list, and the abolition of military and naval sinecures. After some further remarks, Mr. IlTumums con cluded by moving the resolution,which was seconded by Mr. R COOKE, and carried unanimously. Mr. LOWE then moved a vote of thanks to the church wardens, which was seconded by Mr. lilecvez, and carried by acclamation. The meeting then separated. 1,000 to 20 agst Mr. P.

This is an exceedingly pleasant one-act trifle by Mr. J. M. Morton, the author of many successfu4 farces, amongst which may be specially cited Box and Cox. Mr. 'Whiffles (Mr. Frank Matthews) is a superannuated exciseman, who contrives by stringent economy to keep a decent house over his head. His wife (Mrs. C. Jones) has discharged their only servant, and the respectable couple aro fain to scour, scrub, polish, and cook for themselves. In these domestic dutica they are assisted by their only daughter Lydia (Miss Marshall). Mr. Whiffles has, white taking the air in Fle.t-street, been run against and pushed into the gutter by Mr. John Brownjohn (Mr. Charles Mathews), a gentleman living by his wits a:td on the ex treme faith of tailors, ho:elkeepers ' bill-discounters, &c. He discovers the dwelling of Wh files, introduces himself, apologises for the accident, and gains a footing in the family by representing himself as a gentleman of fortune, supposing old Whiffles to he wealthy and Lydia a capital match. He invites himself to dinner, and the old folk are at their wits' end to provide the necessary dishes, at the SAMO time that every means is taken to conceal from Mr. John Brownjohn the true state of their circumstances. At this crisis, Mr. Phibbs (Mr. Beek stone), an old friend ofEthe Whiffieses, arrives from the country, bringing with him a haunch of vension as a gift to the president of the veterinary college. The haunch is seized upon and devoted to the dinner, and Whiffles, besides, borrows from him a 51. note for the purpose of purchasing wine. Brown john returns in dinner costume, and Whiffles mystifies both, by representing one as the president and the other as a servant, though distantly related to the family. Phibbs is by turns coaxed and bullied to wait at table. Ultimately, however, the double trick is dis covered, and Brownjohn, struck by the beauty and good qualities of Lydia, marries her, with the consent of all parties. We had forgotten to mention that Phibbs is in possession of a bill drawn by Brownjohn, which has been protested. To provo his respect for the drawer, he heroically destroys it. The situations, though not very novel, are mirth-provoking, and the oddities of Buck stone in the supper scene drew down shouts of laughter. Mr. Frank Matthews acted with pantomimic breadth; and Mr. Charles Mathews lost not a single point, and was dressed a merveide. Mrs. C. Jones was rich and oily; and Miss Marshall was pretty and piquante. The farce was quite successful. ST. DUNSTAN'S IN THE WEST. The inhabitants of this parish met yeterday in the inquest. room adjoining the church. - Mr. Churchwarden Batchelor occupied the chair, and nearly the whole of the leading inhabitants of the parish were present. The proceedings having been opened, Mr. Dtnot (tho past churchwarden) moved the first resolution— "That the meeting viewed with the deepestindigna- tion, and utmost surprise, the announced intention o? the Government to increase the income-tax, and pledged themselves to oppose the impost by every means in their power." Which was seconded by Mr. T. P. AUSTIN' in a few pertinent remarks. Mr. BUTTERWORTH moved the second resolution, to the effect that— " The Legislature being solemnly pledged to the re mission of the income-tax in three, or at the most five years, the present meeting now called for an entire re moval of the offensive impost." Mr. WATSON seconded the resolution, which was also supported by Mr. Hyde, Mr. Davis, and Mr. Everett. Mr. WELLS spoke in favour of the existing tax, and objected altogether to a proposition made by Mr. Hyde to increase the land-tax. He thought, at so early a period after a repeal of the corn-laws bad been carried, that no additional burden should be placed upon the landed interest. The resolution having been put, was carried with only two dissentients. Mr. PEDLER moved, and Mr. ITyDE seconded, the third resolution, to the effect that a petition embodying the sentiments containcd in the preceding resolutions should be adopted by the meeting. This resolution having been carried unanimously, Mr. SEELEY made the occasion of the meeting the theme of a stout protection speech, which met with some opposition. A petition, echoing the resolutions, but recommending also a revisal of the present Customs duties, was adopted, and Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the pro ceedings terminated. JEWISH DISABILITIES BILL. ESSEX COUNTY MEETING.—CIIELDISFORD, THURSDAY EVENING.—The inhabitants of this county having been convened by the High Sheriff pursuant to a requisition to meet in the Shire Hall this day to petition the House of Lords on the subject of the above Bill, an immense concourse of people assembled in front of that building about half past twelve o'clock, the hour named. On the hall being opened, Mr. C. Marsh, the High Sheriff, attempted to open the proceedings in the Nisi Prius Court, but yield ing to the " pressure from without," the meeting ad. journed to the open air, where a few waggons having been got together for the accommodation of the speakers and leading men of both parties, Mr. Bowyer Smith ad dressed the meeting, contending that to admit the Jews into Parliament would tend to unchristianise the coun try. He alluded to the argument that, as we admitted Jews into other offices, we should therefore admit them to Parliament; but he thought that though, in this par ticular, we descended in our practice from a principle, we should not reduce our principle to the level of that practice. He concluded by proposing a petition to Par lament against the Bill proposed by the Government. The Hon. and Rev. H. Bertie seconded the motion. Mr. Court auld moved an amendment in favour of the Bill, contending that the Jews were perfectly entitled to all civil rights. This amendment having been seconded, was declared by the High Sheriff to be carried. Major Beresford and others addressed the meeting in supportof the original motion, and it was evidently the feeling of the influential portion of those present that it should have been adopted. WESTER Ross FARMER'S SOCIETY.--A meeting of this society was held at Dingwall on Tuesday, when a petition to Parliament, praying for the repeal of the law of entail was agreed to, and signed by the presi dent in the name of the society. It was also agreed to that steps should be taken to promote a show of live stock at Invergordon in the month of August, and that the farmers of Ross and Cromarty should be urged to unite to carry that object into effect. The members dined together in the evening at the Caledonian Hotel. D. Sheriff, Esq., Barnyards, the proses, in the chair, and -- Seaforth, the vice-preses, acting as croupier. In the course of the evening several important and interesting subjects connected with agriculture were discussed.

A A E. 31 One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un anprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Phpsical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justicedemand tkat health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could Him traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always Injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the m•oliric source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on .he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Phyclology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health, and •f the physical capabilities of Valet' every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering froin their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by hi.: possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and resrect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MEIIT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

THE LINENDRAPERS', SILKMERCERS', LACEMEN'S, HABERDASHERS', AND HOSIERS' INSTITUTION.—The 17th anniversary festival of this charity took place last evening at the London Tavern. On the occasion not less'than 250 gentlemen sat down to dinner. Lord R. Grosvenor presided. and with his usual urbanity com plimented the directors of the institution upon the econo mical manner in which they had administered its funds. The amount distributed during the past year was double that which had been given in any former year, and yet the c:spemliture had not equalled the receipts. The Noble Lord made a happy allusion to the contrast which this state of things presented to the financial position of the country and the proposed increase of the income. tax. From the report of the past year it appears that the capital stock of the company now consists of 20,1711. Three per Cent. Consolidated Annuities, and 10,0001. Three-and-a-hlalf per Cent. Annuities. The relief afforded by the charity during the past year was 1,064/., out of which 55 applicants received temporary relief. Last evening subscriptions were announced to the amount of 2,2001., being a larger sum than has ever been collected for the institution except on one occasion. Notwithstanding the number of the company present, the dinner went off in the most pleasant manner. The arrangements connected with it were excellent, the vocal entertainments being under the direction of Mr. Lloyd, and Mr, Harker officiating as toastmaster.

TIIE STASES AND BETS IN TIIE LATE FIGHT OF WALKEtt AND LANE.—Last night being appointed for giving up the battle money, 4001., dependent on the issue of the unsatisfactory contest of Tuesday week, the neighbourhood of Air-street, Piccadilly, was long before the hour of ten crowded by an anxious multitude. The room wherein the stakeholder was to take the chair was crowded to suffocation. We shall not attempt to give even an outline of the stormy debate which ensued upon the chairman's lucid, candid, and impartial ex planation of the motives which had swayed him in the decision at which he, upon consultation with the backers and friends of both men, had deliberately ar• rived. During the day a council had been held at the residence of the stakeholder, at which, although no direct evidence of Walker's betrayal of his friends was produced, Broome, as the backer of Lane, declared his readiness to silence every rumour by a compromise, although the victorious party. Aspersions had been liberally dealt in, and a " double cross" had been hinted at. He would receive back the deposited 2001, of Lane's backers, in which a large amount of his own money was included, and take the 2001. of Walker's money in trust for Lane. On this understanding of course bets were off. This arrangement, in the evening, by no means met the views of Lane or his brother. Tom had won the fight, and as "battle-money" (which would, of course, carry bets) would he alone receive it. A noisy contention ended in Lane "pocketing the affront," in the shape of batik notes and sots. to the tune of 195/., with a further promise of sums from his backers as they might please to present him from his own 2001. in the head stake. Thus a scheme fatal to the ring, if such was ever concocted, was effectually defeated, and although Lane, individually, may suffer among his country friends, with respect to colours, &c., in the maxim which is held sound in law, that " it is better for three guilty to escape than one innocent man to be hanged," so it is better that Lane should come somewhat short of his deserts, than that the whole public should be rendered liable to the risk of a swindle, too artfully contrived to admit of perfect demosistration. All bets are therefore off, and Lane, the acknowledged winner of the fight, exonerated from every stain of participa tion in the suspected pitfall, receives the weed of his fairness in the amount of all he fought for. One of those strange accidents which happen no one can tell how, occurred to a commercial gentleman of Nottingham last Friday evening, in driving from Mat lock. He had got two or three miles on the road, after moderately partaking of gin at the house of an old lady, when he lighted a cigar at a toll-bar house. There was a strong breeze, and the person of the rider was thickly enveloped in three coats. Very soon he ex claimed, though alone, " I've heard of hot gin, but the old lady's is very hot!" meanwhile passing a gentle friction with his hand over the outer wrapper upon the region of the stomach. The heat increased,when ho invo luntarily tore open his ventures so as to get at the afflicted part more closely, and found himself on fire! A satin waistcoat was proved to have been completely burnt in the lower part, from pocket to pocket; the dress-coat was also much damaged; and even the shirt was burnt and much charred. The discovery was as lucky as the accident was extraordinary,—which must have been occasioned by embers falling from the lighted cigar upon the very inflammable material of the vest. The cii-cumstance can hardly be explained upon the principles of spontaneous combustion, instanced in Mac " anatomy" of a common distemper.—Slartijord Mercury. THE PATENT Novus ANNum.us Bnacs.—The uses to which India rubber has been applied are almost innumerable, yet nearly every month produces fresh instances of its application. In the apparently simple matter of gentlemen's braces, it has done much, but it was left to the Messrs. Welch, Margetson, and Co., of Cheapside, to apply it with success to what has long detracted from the perfection of this portion of male costume. We allude to the annoyance to which the wearer has hitherto been subjected from the braces slipping off the shoulders. In the instance which gives rise to these remarks such a troublesome fault is entirely got rid of—indeed their exists not the slightest friction upon the shoulders—a result obtained by the four por tions of the braces being connected at the small of the back to a vulcanized India-rubber ring, which, while it permits of the greatest play of the body, is the cause of the ease and comfort observed upon. With such an adjunct it would seem that the wear of the braces would likewise be almost endless. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday between the hours of one and two, an accident occurred to a cab man, while in the act of turning from Judd-street, down Crome,r-street. It appeared that his attention was drawn to a female inside, and while in the act of speak ing to her, he 101 l off his box, on his head, and the wheels passed over his body. He was immediately picked up, and conveyed to the University College. Faint hopes were entertained of his recovery. EUSTON-SQUARE ACCIDENT—INSUFFICIENCY OF BRICK FOR COLUMNS.—The public should be told that in building brick columns or pillars there should always be occasional bond stones introduced, the whole circumfererce of the column or size of the pillar. A drawing to scale of a column, showing the bricks whether flat or on edge, convinces one of th dif ficulty of obtaining the tie and bond which are considered the soul (if I may use the expression) of sound brick work.—Correspondent of The Builder.

Durling, of Stirkoke by Wick, had suffered very severely for a long time with deep wounds in his leg, and in his endeavours to get them healed he obtained the advice of many eminent surgeons, and tried almost every remedy, yet all failed to effect a cure, until he used Holloway's Ointment and Pills ; these in valuable medicines alone healed his leg in a few weeks, and now it is as sound as even—Holloway's Ointment is a safe and certain cure for old wound:, burns, scalds, tumours, chilblains, and unnatural swellings.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish ment, 244, Strand, London. STATE OF HENRY THE SEVENTH'S CHAPEL.—I do of decay i n th e ex t er ior stonework i indeed believe that, unless some means are taken to stay the progress of the structure, n twenty years it will be a ruin. Casting our eye upwards from the basis of several of the buttresses on the side nearest St. Margaret's Church, with a favourable light, it will be seen that the . whole of th e stonewor k i n t h ree l arge com partments is one mass of decay, the surface of it, at least. The features of many of the images are completely effaced, and the fretwork of the windows is in so crumbling a condition that it appears as though the mere pressing a hand over it would remove it en tirely. I hope the attention of all who are interested in the preservation of this fine national monument, archi tects, particularly. gentleman versant in chemical combi nations, will be directed to the subject of this premature decay in stonework.—Correspondent of the Builder.

The scene of filth was such that one gentle. man turned sick, and from the evidence adduced, it appeared that the whole neighbourhood was infected with fever from the unhealthy state of the premises. Under the circumstances, the coroner adjourned the inquest until a post mort em examin a tion of the 'body had taken place. Mr. P opham, t h e par i s h surgeon, . objected to open the body the place it was then 13,111;4 for its removal to SOUTHAMrTON DO . CK .COMPA,Ny.—Yesterday the in,st.

ASSESSED TAX ArPgAL. -- :At a meeting of the commissioners held at the Shire Hall, Chelmsford, on Monday last, to hear appeals against surcharges for horses, carriages, and dogs, among the few appellants from rryerning, who has said he sometimes worked a that wilea t a t e n n d d e ed, w t c a h s l a d r l a e n b o . u r l e i r e as a Lrickmaker, but at the present time he was receiving only labourer's wages. He did not deny that he had allowed two dogs to be upon his premises, but he swore that he had not fed them, at the same time he admitted that he had allowed his children to do so. The sur charge amounting to 11. 10s. 9d. was unavoidably con firmer], which the imprudent man declared he was unable to pay. In the event of his not doing so, the law makes his goods liable. Surely such an example will operate `as a warning to others. Mr. Charles Pearson paired oft on the divi3ioti on the window-tax, having an important meeting of his constituents to attend at the time the division was ex pected to take place. THE WEST INDIA MAIL.

SHIP ABANDONED AT SEA.—The American ship Ceylon, Francis Dowling, master, sailed from Lubeck on the Bth instant, bound for New Orleans. On the 10th, when off Georgia Shoal, sprung a leak, and bore up for Bermuda. On the 15th made the land, and took a pilot on board from the West-end.

A highly influential meeting, presided over by the Mayor, took place yesterday in the Sessions-house, con vened for the purpose of opposing the increased tax upon income. Various resolutions were carried to that effect, and the following petition was unanimously agreed on:— " The humble petition of the inhabitants of Liverpool, in public meeting assembled, " Showetli,—That your petitioners have learnt with regret and dismay the proposal of her Majesty's Govern ment to impose additional taxes on the already overbur dened people of this country. " That your petitioners are of opinion that the present amount of revenue is amply sufficient, with proper economy, to meet all needful expenditure. " That your petitioners, besides being convinced that no necessity exists for increased taxation of any kind, entertain insuperable objections to any income-tax which is not based on a graduated scale with respect to amounts, and also a decided distinction between the incomes derived from trades and professions and those arising from real property and other fixed sources. " Your petitioners, therefore, respectfully call upon your Hon. louse not to sanction the imposition of fresh taxes on the people of this country, but to exact a rigid economy its the national expenditure, and that in the consideration of any prolongation of the income-tax, you will require that a graduated scale be adopted, and that a marked distinction between incomes derived from trades and professions and those arising from real pro perty, and other fixed sources, should be made." READING--A meeting, convened by the mayor of this borough in consequence of a requisition more nume rously signed than any similar document on former oc casions, was held in the Town-hall yesterday, for the purpose of:opposing the projected increase of the income tax. The mayor presided. The assemblage consisted of nearly 500 persons. Mr. Cowslade, of the Reading Mercury, moved, and Mr. T. Harris seconded, the first resolution, which was to tho effect that the meeting urged the necessity of retrenchment in every depart ment of the public service, and that the proposition for increased taxation, after thirty-thee years of peace, was monstrous, and should not be quietly submitted to. The resolution was carried by universal acclamation. Mr. Rogers then addressed the meeting, and moved a second resolution—" That previously to there-imposition of the income-tax, it was the duty of the Government to take measures to render it more equal in its operations." Mr. Exall seconded the resolution, which, after some obser vations by Mr. Hedges, Mr. Bartlett, and Mr. Weedon (the mayor), was carried amidst loud cheers. On the motion of Mr. Farrow, the adoption of a petition to Parliament, echoing the sentiments of the resolutions, was passed unanimously; after which, on the motion of Mr. Pigott, M.P., thanks were voted to the mayor, and the meeting was dissolved. GLOUCESTER.—The town council of this city, on Wednesday, unanimously agreed to petition the House of Commons against the continuance, and, above all, any increase in the income• tax, as its operation in its present state had proved most oppressive to the trading and mercantile interests in Gloucester, as well as most other places.

" I consider there's no better thing can be done, " Than to go to the Warehouse of MOSES and SON." " Of course," said the husband, " you couldn't suppose " That I'd ever go anywhere else for his clothes. " Messrs. MOSES my highest approval have won, " And they, therefore, shall furnish both father and son, " You remember, my dear, how I stood to remark, " Each juvenile suit as we walked through the Park ; " And I know they were MOSES and SON'S by the cut, " And Harry shall have one, without ' if,' or ' but.' " Messrs. MOSES are faultless in all that they sell, " In hosiery, clothing, and Mr goods as well. " And quality blended with cheapness is ono " Of the mighty attractions of MOSES and SON."
