This Institution is designed to supply a great national want, viz., an asylum for the ornhau daughters of sailors in the Royal Navy and Merchants i'ervice and of Marines. It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic service, and provides a home free of expense for former inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the temptations they might otherwise be exposed to. The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU TIONS to meet the increasing applications through the recent storms and loss of life at sea, and to enable them eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000 sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those who may perish by war.

It has within the last few days appeared on the farm of Mr. Berridge, of Somerton, adjoining the Great Western Railway, one of the largest feeders and breeders in Oxfordshire, who has lost several. It is almost impossible to say the numbdr that are dead since the 31st of December, but when the returns are made it will be seen that great havoc has been made in Oxfordshire. One circum stance, we understand, has occurred close to this city which is worth remarking ; that on a farmer being applied to by the proper offi cer to inspect his cattle he refused him, observing that he was giving his cattle medicine, that they were healthy, and that he, the inspector, was very likely to bring the plague to them in his clothes. The herd are, we hear, still in a healthy state. CAN TERBUR-Y HALL. RI-FUlt! TI-FUM!

HUNTINGDON, The cattle plagae has assumed such an alarming aspect in this county that the county magistracy are completely at a loss as to the best course to pursue with a view to its stoppage. The agriculturists are anxious to get their uninfected cattle out of the county as quickly as possible, but the Quarter Ses sions interdict prohibits this course without the sanc tion of the petty sessional bench of the district, combined with a certificate from the appointed vete rinary district inspector, certifying that the animals proposed to be removed are perfectly free from the disease. When the beasts are healthy and free from the disease the certificate of the inspector is easily obtained, but not so the order from the petty ses sional bench. Farmers have waited upon the vari ous benches, and urged strong cases to obtain the sanction for removal. One of their arguments is this—Supposing a farmer had a herd of, say, 20 cattle on his farm ; one might die, yet the other 19 remain, for a time, perfectly healthy. Now, unless the magistrates give an order to sanction the re moval of these 19 beasts, they must be kept on the farm to die, and the magistrates would be morally responsible for their loss, because if the magistrates had sanctioned the removal of these 19 healthy ani mals (as certified by the veterinary inspector) they would have been removed"to London or some other market and slaughtered. This is one of the argu ments of the farmers of this county, as there are a great many who have no symptoms of the disease on their farms nor ever had, and who would send off their beasts to market before their farms were affected, thereby lessening the number of animals in this county and consequently stopping the pro gress of the disease to a certain extent, as there would be fewer beasts to be attacked. The disease is pretty well understood by this time to be both epidemic and contagious. More people, however, contend for the contagious nature of the disease than the epidemic. As an instance of the latter, at a place called Bluntisham, about eight or nine miles from Huntingdon, the disease broke out on five farms in a single night. Those were isolated farms, and every necessary precaution had been taken to disinfect the premises previous to the breaking out of the disease. On one farm in the same neighbourhood 18 fat beasts died and were buried in the short space of five days. Disinfectants are plentifully used. On many farms the men's shoes, the horses' feet, and the cartwheels are washed previous to entering the stock-yard. Numbers of farmers applied to the magistrates during the early part of the week for permission to remove their un infected stock, but the magistrates declined to give any decision. This may arise, perhaps, from the fact that the adjourned Quarter Sessions will be held on Saturday, and they would like to have the opinion of the whole court on the matter.

Boys thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till they are 11 years 01 age. With the view to secure the election of the most deserving cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers. The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care fully investigated by the Committee, ant, with this informa tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to those most eligible for free admission. This Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to take im the little ones whose character and circumstances disqualify the for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are those who, from neglect, are already on the roan to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 10?, and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once ; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to p'ead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—ls it right to make a widow and her tamily paupers for life because one of them (the naughty boy of the family) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not help her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the best we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it doing to others as we would they should do unto us that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to "I na away," none of us should be found to care for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe them ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper ?" The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police statistics, which show that fn London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of age, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom were convicted aid punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish, though not too young to learn the beginnings of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli ance and self-help, be permanent burdens to the State. Ihe Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society. . _ _The daily routine of the Insiitution - presents all the fea tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children; they have their regular meals, their suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every morning is devoted to school work—reading, and writing, and ciphering, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in oijects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early period in lite, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with vatious industrial occupations— making brown paper bags for bankers, and white raper bags for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending the c'othes, dm Some assist the master in the garden, digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing and sweeping, while the elder ones clean all the boots, knives, &c. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active working life. 2d.

In charging the grand jury at Kirton Lindsey Quarter Sessions, on the 6th inst., Sir Charles An demon, chairman, made some remarks on the cattle plague. It was a dreadful visitation, and had natu rally spread much alarm among the agricultural community. From all that had been written and spoken upon the subject, it appeared that little was known of the nature of the disease or its cure. It was, they knew, dreadfully infectious and fatal, and all they could do was to use their best common sense in the matter. By an Order of Privy Council, dated December 16, the power previously invested in petty sessions was conferred upon quarter sessions and the authorities in municipal boroughs. In accordance with that order the Court had met and carefully considered the subject. As they were aware, the various petty sessions had issued a good many notices. These were all read over, and were found, on the whole, very similar. The Court, therefore, thought they could not do better than confirm them. At the same time they had made a further order prohibiting the removal of cattle from one parish to another with out a licence or certificate from a magistrate. For instance if a butcher bought cattle he could not re move them without first obtaining such a certificate. It had been thought expedient to hold an adjourned sessions at Spilsby, which the mayors of towns hay ing municipal authority should be invited to attend to further consider this matter. The Court had also ordered a memorial to be presented to the Privy Council, urging the propriety of prohibiting the removal of hides, horns, hoofs, &c. He (Sir Charles) could not help thinking that this was of the utmost importance, for the plague could be easily carried in this way to all parts of the country. The chairman concluded by urging the observance of cleanliness in places where cattle where kept, and the free use of rock salt and tar, and other dis infectants. NORFOLK. The plague has reappeared in the neighbourhood of Great Yarmouth. Mr. Last, ofthat town, had 16 bullocks on his farm at Acle ; nine have fallen victims to the disease, and six others have since been slaughtered. Mr. Last was insured. OXFORDSHIRE. Since our last notice of this dreadful calamity it has raged in this county and neighbourhood more fiercely than ever ; within a radius of seven miles of this city its malignity has been fearfully felt. Whether we look east, west, north, or south, there are but few herds comparatively speaking that have not felt its direful influence.

Austin in the chair. After a good deal of discussion the following resolutions were adopted:— " That, subject. to the provisions of the Order in Council, no stock be permitted to enter the eastern division of the county without the order of two magistrates at Petty Sessions within the union into which they are imported. " That in any union in which the justices acting in Petty Sessions therein shall certify that no cattle plague has appeared for one month then last pass, and which union shall, by notice published in one or more of the county papers, be declared free from cattle plague, cattle shall be allowed to circulate, but that no stock be brought into or sent out of such union without the order of such justices as aforesaid. " That in any union which has not been certified as free from cattle plague, as aforesaid, no stock be permitted to be removed upon a public road from any occupation without the order of two justices at Petty Sessions. " That all fairs, markets, and repository sales of stock be prohibited. " That stock be permitted, under the order of two justices at Petty Sessions, to be taken to any place for immediate slaughter—that is to say, not exceeding three days, but that no stock be permitted to return alive from such place; and, further, that no restriction in this rule be held to apply to any union which shall have been certified as free from cattle plague under the second rule. " That no stock be permitted to enter any union from any other union within the county without the order of two justices in Petty Sessions acting in the union from which such stock is sent. " That no offal or hides be removed in any in fected union without the order of two justices. " That no cattle shall, under any circumstances, be driven upon any public highway or road between the hours of 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. " That every person driving any cattle along any highway or public road shall, if required to do so, show his licence to any justice of the peace or police officer in uniform. " For the purpose of breeding, cows and swine may be sent off the premises of the owner to a bull or boar, provided that the owner of the animals so sent shall procure from the guardians of the parish a certificate stating that the animals on the sender's premises are free from disease, and before bringing them home again he shall procure a similar certifi cate from the guardians of the parish into which they have been sent, certifying that the cattle among which they have been are also free from disease. "That the word 'stock' shall include all sorts of cattle, sheep, swine, and pigs. " That the order be in force until the Ist of March. " That the mayors of boroughs shall be invited to co-operate in carrying out these orders." At the Bury division of the Suffolk Quarter Ses sions on Tuesday, the Clerk of the Peace read a letter, which he had received from the Home Secre tary with reference to the cattle plague, appointing the magistrates in Quarter Sessions the local authority in place of the Petty Sessions. A com mittee, consisting of the Marquis of Bristol, Major Parker, M.P., Mr. E. Green, M.P., Mr. B. B. H. Rodwell,.Mr. J. H. Heigham, Mr. P. Huddleston, and Mr. F. M. Wilson, were appointed to consider the subject, and to prepare resolutions, more or less similar to those adopted in other counties. This committee proceeded to the discussion of the ques tion yesterday. Some cattle attacked at Mr. George Denny's, at Battisford, 17 in namber, are all dead with the exception of one. Mr. Denny is not in sured. The disease still appears in a more or less viru lent form at various villages round Liverpool, especially at Garston, Roby, Huyton, and Bootle, and it has made its appearance where every possible precaution has been taken against it. The Gethin Colliery Explosion. MERTHYR, Jan. 10. After the despatch of yesterday's parcel, William Davis, under-viewer of Nos. 1 and 2, Gethin Pits, said—At the time of the explosion I was in No. 1 pit. I am under Mr. Moody, and act for him in superin tending the works when he is absent and looking after the ventilation. I sometimes try the air with the anemometer, which the overman carries. I have no means of taking the air myself, but I assist. I was told of the explosion, and I went from No. 1 pit through the old works to the yard vein, then along the crossing to the four-foot, got into the carriage, and went down the shaft, to the nine-foot vein. I went on along the upper level to the face where Eynon had been before me ; did not observe how the doors were blown in the upper level after I had been to the face of the upper level I went down Joseph Rees's heading, and when I had got to the middle level I met Eynon aiid others ; on this Wed nesday I noticed the doors on Joseph Rees's head ing—the first below the middle was blown up wards, and the next below it was driven down ; there was a stopping in the mouth of the stall on the east side between those two doors, and which appeared to be blown to the east ; there was none there on the Monday previous, and if it was there it was put out without my knowledge ; on the Monday previous, after I heard there was gas in Vavasour Rees's stall, Moody, Beddoe, and myself went there, and saw the foreman of the stall. The fire mark was not fixed firmly, and Beddoe held the light while I nailed up a firm fire mark, upon which I wrote (on the cross timbers) " Tau Fire" in chalk, as described in the sketch produced ; it was in Vava sour Rees's stall. Moody, Beddoe, and myself were present on the occasion. I gave directions to Bed doe, in the presence of Moody, to contract the wind way between the two stalls on the opposite side of the heading, so as to reduce the windway on the right side, and force more air into Vavasour Rees's and have the gas out from there. That was on the Monday previous to the explosion. Beddoe did not follow my directions. It was about 9 o'clock, and I told him to remove the gas that night after the men had come out. Beddoe promised to do so, but he did not, as when I went there on Tuesday at two I found the gas in Vavasour Rees's stall the same as on the Monday. Beddoe was not there, and on looking for him I found he had gone to Cyfartha on business. I stopped Rees on the Monday and found him another place. I saw the notice up on the Tues day. They were firing shots in some parts of the works, after the notice "Tau Fire" was put up; it is not my duty to point out where they were to use shots and where they were not ; after I found Beddoe was not them I went home. I did nothing myself. Next day I saw Beddoc in the lamp-room at about ten minutes to seven o'clock, and asked him how things were in the pit, and he told me the place was all right except Vavasour Ree's stall, which was the same as on Monday. I asked him when he was going to get the gas from that shill, and ho replied, " I settled with Rees Price last night to head down from the double parting to Vavasour Rees's stall. Beddoc had not been in after I went home on Tues day evening. It was his duty to stop at the top of the pit till the fireman came up. On Wednesday morning I told Beddoe not to head down the double partings, because there was a month's work for the back man in the pit and a boy to do that work. I told him he must have the gas from there that night, the day of the explosion. Ire !did not give any answer ; but when he got out of the lamp-room he told me to come and meet Mr. Moody at ten o'clock to put a point in Thomas MOrgan's airway. Mr. Moody said he had told Beddoe to meet him, and Beddoe took it on himself to tell witness he wanted to meet him (witness) ; but such was not so. I saw Mr. Moody on Wednesday last. I forgot to tell him about the gas in-Vavasour Rees's stall on the previous day. I did not know whether Beddoe had not removed it during the previous night I met Moody that morning before I saw Beddoe. That was the last time I saw Beddoe alive. I did not take any steps except stopping Vavasour Rees from working in his stall. - I did not think there was any danger in firing shots in the parts where the gas was in the stall, because the fresh air came through that district before it approached Vavasour Rees's stall. The inquest was adjourned till the following morning. This morning the examination of Wm. Davies, underviewer, was resumed—Griffith Morgan's body was found at the extreme end of the upper level where he was working, that of John James a few yards nearer the pit, and Rees Davies, a boy, near the middle level door. David Beddoe, the over viewer, would in the course of his duty be in various parts of the pit the same day. There was a strange man in the pit named Morris, who only began work in Gethin the day before. He was employed by Beddoe, and his body was found by that of his em ployer. The door boy, David Luke, was found at his post, and carried out. Thomas Morris walked out by himself, but died the next day. Eight or nine of the men were more or less burnt. Witness described the position in which the bodies were found of other sufferers, some burnt, others suffo cated. Two men who had worked in a dip heading managed to escape: Witness believed the gas ex ploded in Vavasour Rees's stall. The Coroner remarked that he had it in evidence that Rees worked in this stall to the end of the week preceding the explosion. Examination continued—The fire, I believe, must then have gone down and up Joseph Rees's heading without affecting the intermediate stalls between, and the five men who were working in them met the after damp in trying to escape, and were killed. The witness had deposed to the position where others were found, when the foreman said he wished the question put to Mr. Moody, whose duty it was to clear the gas away from Vasavour Rees's stall ? The Coroner said it was a most important point, but he would rather it were reserved and put in its place. Witness continued—Sixty men were working in the part where the explosion took place, on the east side ; 35 were killed and 10 or 11 injured. The men who escaped worked in the dip heading below the lower level, and to the rise of the upper level. Those who worked in this level were suffocated. He believed that the reason the men were suffocated was that the explosion blew down the doors of the bays in No. 1 and 2 heading, and so prevented the fresh air returning. I have held my present situation eight months, but received no train ing for it. Was five months overman in the same pit. Am self-educated, and can read and write. Parted with Bcddoe on Wednesday morning, the day of the explosion. Was in the pit on Monday, and saw no stopping in the opening of the stall on the east side of Joseph Rees's heading. Originally that opening was the mouth of the stall. Saw the remains of a stopping there on Wednesday. It was made of rubbish, and appeared to have been blown down. Could not say who put it, but thought it must have been Beddoe. laid not see the air mea sured since it was changed, nor did any one under me report that it was done. Moody, Beynor, my self, and two firemen were present when the air was changed at half-past four on Saturday afternoon, and the reason we changed it was to send fresh air into the colliers in the upper level to allow them to blast. The air before then came through the old works. Have not read anything on mining. Have not seen any other colliery except those in the dis trict. Worked in Aberdare before coming here. Mr. Brough—Out of the fryingpan into the fire. The Coroner—What restriction or rule have you about blasting. Can any man do it? Mr. Plows objected to the question. It had been stated in evidence that one man was specially ap pointed for that duty. The Coroner—Yes, for pulling the trigger ; but what I want to know is, can any collier get a blast ? The Witness—There is a man named Peters, whose duty it is to fire. If any collier wishes to have a blast he prepares the hole, and then goes for Peters, who having examined the place with his lamp fires the shot. Mr. Wales—Do the colliers fire shots in fetching back the pillars? The Witness—He was not aware when the air was changed that there was gas in Vavasour Rees's stall. Beddoe first told him of it, and he sent him to Mr. Moody. He brought no message, but Mr. Moody came down upon Monday morning. Wit ness examined the pit with a safety lamp. He went in five or six yards, and found gas about seven feet high. At the face it was about two feet from the top. There was a hole at th e to p , from which stones had fallen, and he should thi nk there were 20 to 21 yards of gas there, extend in g to the face. The sta ll is 8 feet high and 28 yar ds long. There had been a fall in the cross hole, b ut he did not kno w when, and hence the accumu lation of gas betwe en Rees's stall and the one adjo inin g . This y was the only way h . - is stall way the air had to pass. Had been in a week or so before, but then there was no fall or indication of gas. Twice before he had stopped V evaso ur Rees from working there, on accou nt g f e r t o h m e r t a o l 18 in the cross holes. and bottom. There are three fiuemen to look after the furnaces, and it is Beddoe's duty to look after them. He had gone on the day of the explosion to the furnace. Cannot say that the fluemen did • their duty, but on Wednesday the air was all • right. By the Foreman—He ex • ammed the gas on Tues day, to see if there was any increase of gas, and found it exactly the same. Witness did not see Mr. Moody on Tuesday evening. It was too far, after six o'clock in the evening, to go six miles there and back • Had given every instruction to Beddoe that day, Wand thought every step needed would be carried out. Had no business to put men in the cross hole to see to the fall there. Foreman—How do you think the gas was fired ? Witness—By Beddoe in Vavasour Rees's pit. Mr. Wales—Was there a danger signal up there before the explosion ? Witness—Yes, because it was not in work, but an abandoned heading. Did not try for gas, so could not say positively whether there was gas or not. The alteration on Saturday would affect that. The danger signal in Vavasour Rees's stall was found blown on the opposite side of the heading. The inquiry was then adjourned. M.

In consequence of the death of Mr. John Stewart, who represented the ward of Cheap in the Court of Common Council for several years, and whose re election took place so recently as St. Thomas's-day last, the Lord Mayor issued his precept to the free men inhabitants to choose his successor. The nomi nation took place on Tuesday, when no less than three candidates appeared, viz., Mr. henry B. Wild (firm of Reeves and Co.), 113, Cheapside; Mr. Wm. Wright, of the Oldiiewry ; and Mr. W. W. Wilson, of 103, Cheapside, when the show of hands being declredin favour of Mr. Wild, apoll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Wright, Mr. Wilson withdrawing from the contest. Yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, Mr. Alderman Allen again took the chair at the Guildhall Tavern, Gresham-street, and immediately afterwards the polling commenced, continuing throughout the day very sluggishly, and with frequent alternations for and against either party. By 2 p.m., however, Mr. Wild's majority had risen considerably, and at the close of the books it was found that the numbers stood thus : For Mr. Wild For Mr. Wright 49 Majority for Mr. Wild The announcement of the numbers having been made by the Alderman, Mr. WILD, the successful candidate, amidst the cheering of his supporters, returned thanks for the honour done him by his fellow-citizens, whom he promised faithfully to serve in his new capacity as councilman. Mr. WRIGHT also returned thanks to the electors who had voted for him, promising upon a future oc casion to again solicit their suffrages. Finally thanks were given by acclamation to the worthy alderman for his urbanity and patience dur ing the protracted proceedings, and the wardmote was dissolved by proclamation in the customary manner, much laughter being caused by the quaint terms in which the electors were discharged from their duties. ~~~C PRICE 4d., STAMPED bd.! l~ Mr. Samuel Morley, M.P. Mr. Samuel Morley, the newly-elected member of Parliament for Nottingham, presided at the Mon- Evening Working Men's Lecture, at Surrey Cha pel, Blackfriars-road, which was crowded to excess. The Rev. NEWMAN HALL said he was sure they were all delighted to welcome Mr. Morley as a mem ber of Parliament. He hoped that the number of men in that assembly would be increased who feared God, honoured the King, loved peace, loved the people, and desired economy not extravagance— (hear, hear, and cheers)—who were not factious, who were not there for the service of a party, whom nothing could bribe and nothing intimidate— (cheers)--and who were seeking, not to set class against class, but to promote the general welfare of all sections of the community. (Cheers.) Mr. MORLEY, M.P., who was very warmly ap plauded, said he was very glad indeed to find him self again at one of those meetings. It had often puzzled earnest men to know how most effectually to get into contact with the masses of the popula tion, and how they might meet face to face those who were different in social position to themselves, and might come together—if there was not precisely any opportunity of exchanging opinions—and feel warm one towards the other. (Cheers.) He had, therefore, always thought that no more satisfactory use could be suggested for noble buildings like Sur rey Chapel—although not perhaps consecrated by episcopal hands—than one like the present. Of course he meant on Mondays, when earnest and intelligent friends could have the attendance of large audiences like that then present. (Hear.) Such evenings must be satisfactory, and must meet with the approval of all right-thinking men. He therefore wished them all a happy new year. (Cheers.) Would that he knew of some process by which it could be se cured. He did not believe iu patent processes, be cause believing as he did that of all evils self-in flicted ones were the worst, he also held that that prosperity was the most satisfactory which was brought about by a man's own agency. At the same time he was quite cognisant how many diffi culties there were in the way of working men. He did not believe in acts of Parliament for people being made happier and better. It must be a process of self-action. (Hear, hear.) But still, wholesome legislation might do a great deal if correctly carried out. In the prospect of having more to do with the House of Commons than he ever had before, he knew of no motive deeper than to bear in mind how measures would or would not tend to bring about what he supposed he must call the old radical sentiment of " the greatest happiness to the greatest number." (Loud cheers.) He firmly believed in every class having their rights. (Cheers.) He had no desire to set class against class, nor did he do so when he called to mind the fact that the nation dwelt in the cot tage—(hear, hear)—and that the immense propor tion of the population were earning their bread by the sweat of their brow. (Cheers.) There should, lie thought, be more consideration how legislation would tell on the happiness of man as man. (Hear, hear.) It would be in that spirit, and with no feeling of jealousy about this, that, or the other class, that he should try to do his duty in the House of Commons. (Cheers.) It was indeed a magnificent assembly—the noblest platform in the world for any earnest man to occupy—(hear, hear) —and he strenuously desired that those in it who had sympathy with the people should multiply— and that then they might indeed form a P eop l e ' s Parliament --not to seek violent interference with the proper order of right government, but by ear nest, continuous thought strive to advance any mea sureC a n which might tell on the mat er i a l h app i ness of spirithe re joiced h t n h e n p d e e o d p eo go T o t e rl ious )l e t was in mo t n h s t d o f om to say that there probably never had been found in it a larger number of men distinctly ac tuated by the principles to which he had referred than in the present Parliament. (Cheers.) It would, he assured them, be his earnest striving to ally him self with that section, and work with them to influ ence the course of legislation in that direction. (Hear.) There were many causes which impeded that measure of happiness and comfort among the people which all would desire to see. How far they could be affected by legislation he would not pretend to say, but a more thoughtful investigation of them might lead to some further influence being brought to bear on the subject. Individually itwould be his study to bear this object in mind—viz., to spread more comfort among the people, not, however, losing sight of the fact that on themselves a good deal depended. (Loud cheers.) Mr. HANDEL COSSHA.M then delivered a lecture descriptive of a recent tour in the United States. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. g rp s tomach,e[arA Dvi Amblese oa t v e yFeas i or tiE ba r f 1 ei aevEseebtilr accelerated Da]o—tvueeCddßo complaints,bnab ysr Barry's ry m thus p iog i nhus i oes everynaaonlf, t a dhe nsvdeosraftyl stage, cgdnaeees restoring;er v csarr O i e t Ipßst onlyei, whichobv description, l i i eohb: ag gravate, asdi been considered hopeless ; such as indigestion (dyspepsia), cough, asthma, consumption, habitual constipation, disrr hem, all gastric derangements, haemorrhoids, liver nom' plaints, flatulency, nervousness, biliousness' fevers, sore throats, diphtheria, patarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in the head and ears, rheumatism, gout, impurities. eruptions, hysteria, neuralgia, irritability, sleeplessness, adrift'', pal pitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsY, cramps, spasms, nausea and sickness tven in pregnancy or at Pea, sinking fits, bronchitis, scrofula, tightness of the chest, , pains in the pit of tha stomach n d i Detweenthpeartial shoulders, deai &c.
