BUR TON WOOD, and SUTTON, presumed ro be one of the most im portant and improving properties that has ever been offered for sale. MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON have been honoured with instructions from the Proprietor to -11- =nee that the above truly magnificent and very valuable FREE HOLD ESTATES. together nearly 7,000 statute acres, embracing some of the finest land in the county, and almost in a ring fence, will be submitted to public SALE in ,:une or Jnly, (if not previously dis posed of by private contract). They embrace he important Manor of Bold, with its splendid man sion, gardens, park, noble woods, lake, and plantations, all in excel lent order, and distinguished as the Bold Hall Estate, and comprising within itself about 4,300 acres most superbly timoered, and well stocked with game; also the Iturtonwookl Estate adjoining, whi , h contains nearly 1,400 acres, very finely wooded, together with the Sutton Estate, closely contiguous, consiSting of about 1,030 acres of excellent land skirting the prosperous and rapidly improving town of St. Helens, and containing mines of superior coal and also beds of clay of great value for pottery purposes. The whole of these flue estates (with the exception of the parks and demesne farm, which are in hand) are let to responsible tenants at moderate rents, and produce between 11,000, and 12,090/. per annum, exclusive of royalties and rents receivable from coal mines, which must annually increase. The limits of an advertisement will only admit of a brief outline of the numerous natural and great local advantages of this most important and splendid domain. The Man sion of Bold stands upon a fine elevated part of the park, which contains about 600 acres, richly studded with noble timber, and sheltered by venerable oak woods of the finest growth. Within the park are the remains of the ancient hall, moated round, and which, from a period little later than the conquest, has been the seat of the maternal ancestors of the present owner. The Sutton Estates possesses rare advantages, is intersected by the London and North Western, and St. Helen's and Runcorn Gap Railways, and, from its position and nature, its value must be annually increased. The" St. Helen's Coal-field, containing an average thickness of 70 feet of coal, is believed to extend under a considerable portion of the Sutton Estate ; part of such mines are already in lease, and must be the source of a vast revenue. The Sutton station of the London and North Western Railway is distant about a mile from Bold Hall, affording easy access to all parts of the kingdom. Warrington is distant front Bold five miles and a half, Liverpool only 14, Manches ter 20, and London less than 200. The Bold and Burtonwood Do mains and Manors may be purchased without the Sutton Property, which will probably be offered in lots.

The principles of the Ilygeian theory are contained in the follow ing propositions :- 1. The vital principle is contained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise from the impurity of the blood, or, in other words, from acrimonious humours lodged in the body. 5. This humour, which degenerates the blood, has three sources —the maternine, the contagious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may therefore be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectual mode of eradicating disease. 8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MO RISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINES to be such proper vegetable purgative. 9. From the intimate connexion subsisting between mind and body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other.

Molesworth paired off in favour of the the third reading of the Jewish Disabilities Bill with Mr. Benbow. [PRICE SD. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE f BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Wednesday the Great Yarmouth Dis franchisement Bill was considered in Committee. Mr. Hume divided the House, with a very small number ' of followers ; his object being to resist the separation of the Great Yarmouth Bill from some others of the ' same nature,—a separation it was the policy of the op ts to secure, with the view of getting rid of the pollen • worst matter, and so making a better defence upon the rest. A particular tendency to raise the character of the House of Commons in these days of danger to estab- I fished powers, will be found in the lugubrious moan made there on behalf of that injured portion of the community the bribed voters of the rotten boroughs. ' The plea set up is, that they are a harmless and se duced race, who yield as our first mother did, to the wiles of crafty serpents going about to deceive. The policy of which, distinctly enough, is to turn aside punishment from those who can be caught, on pre tence of laying it on those who cannot. Now my belief, and perhaps yours, is that bribery as often be gins with the voter as with the candidate. Do we not know, that to this hour there are voters going about in a grumbling state of mind, at the abolition of what they consider, and sometimes call, their birthright ? There is clearly but one way to set this to rights, if with present powers it is to be righted at all ; and that is, to institute something like the old system of frank : . pledge or making one set. of men responsible for an other, and ruthlessly disfranchising any borough where systematic bribery shall be proved. On Thursday the Jewish Disabilities Bill went to a third reading, by a majority of 234 against 173, which Tis t 4 a , unit the same proportion as on the second read ing.; the total number of votes being less by between a sixth and a seventh, in consequence probably of seemseai bers not being re t urne d f rom t h e recess . There to b e a belief that the Lords, calculating by the usu a l rules which connect their proceedings with majoriti es i n the Commons, will not pass the Bill this time. Th e L ords are better at an Alien Act. On Friday the Alun Bill was considered in Com mittee. What was the particular policy of giving it to be understood taogaEinurope, that it was refused by a majority of 158 to allow a.copy order to be served on the34of the y a alien ordered to depart, * an - a to be accompanied b writing, is what Europe must judge c opy of the information in should like to see the countenuasnyvtcehof the first English man in the Hotel Meurice, on the counterpart iBt3was afterwards of this law shall be exercised. Andagawi n o li s m ir refused by a majority of 98 in the interval and sixty of the other side having (one Liberal and mar gone to dinner) to make the " knowingly ciously giving information against an alien, which should be false in some material part thereof" pun ishable as a misdemeanour ;—why there shoulabe this zeal for the protection of information false in some material part thereof," and it should be thus taken under the particular guardianship of the British Legislature when practised against a foreigner ; —i s what we shall perhaps some of us know better when our wits are sharpened by the application of a similar code to our travelling tribes in foreign lands. The Public Health Bill was on the same night brought forward for the purpose of going into Com mittee ; but before this was effected, the debate was adjourned till Monday. In so extensive a subject there must be much which the different interests concerned have a right to look into with jealous eyes. But at this time of day it is too late to raise any general protest against "cen tralization." Centralization means doing things by a common will which sits in the centre; and the erect ing of this common will, in a multitude of cases, makes all the difference between a thing's being done or not. There may be centralization to do evil ; but the business of wise men is to see that the centraliza tion is for good. In the present instance the point to be aimed at seems to be, that as much as possible should be done by the local authorities, and through them ; the central power being chiefly directed to seeing that the important things are not left undone. The world is coming to a pitch, when it must be washed to an extent our an cestors had no idea of. An Arab of the desert has no more notion of sanitary regulations than a wild horse; and for the same reason, that there is no occa sion for them. But let the horses come to he packed by hundreds uptin a given space, and stable duties be!Ore undreamt of rise to the perception of the w sur iev them, their tir%c act in f of ti i to their individual liberty of stabulary regulation, end I submit to the direction of some central power of the majority's , appointment, which shall see to the ob servation of certain general laws calculated to pre vent the risk of murrain in the society. Regulations of this kind are not always agreeable to flesh and blood, but they are useful. If a man will go and live in a desert, he may do as he will about his sewerage. But if he has reasons which make the emigration to the desert inconvenient, be must submit to such sacrifices of personal liberty of action, as are proved necessary to keep crowded associations wholesome. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. Blackheath, London, May 8, 1848. LONDON UNIVERSITY COLLEGE. On Saturday the annual distribution of prizes to the medical department of this college took place in the presence of a large number of the students and of their friends. Lord Brougham, the President of the Inatitu tion, took the chair, in the theatre of the College, at three o'clock, supported by Sir L. Goldsmid and Sir E Ryan. Dr. GRANT, the Dean of Faculty, road the report of the committee, by which it appeared that the income and the number of students were increasing. The different professors then read the names of the successful prizemen in their respective classes. On rising eauh was received either with marks of applause or dis approbation on the part of the assembled students. Professors Sharpey and Quain were badly received, upon which the latter said—" I am not surprised at this. Statements injurious to me have been circulated in re ference to a respected colleague, and if they be not fully inquired into it will be no fault of mine." The CHAIRMAN—It you had been as long in the House of Commons as I have been you would not be surprised at these things.

Thenew students to May 1, last year, were 79 This session, to the same period .... . ....... 97 T0ta1................ . ............................... 303 New entries to hospital practice .• 96 , The Noble CHAIRMAN having delivered the prizes ti) the successful students, rose and said, that nothing could be more gratifying to the friends of the institution than the statement that had been made that day by Dr. Grant of its flourishing condition. Not only were the merits of the students, but those of the professors, testified by the proceedings which had just closed. The university had been favoured by great bounty in the shape u t various benefactions bestowed upon it since last they met. A late valued friend of his in the west of Eng land —a man of steady pri nci p les in the gr e at cause of civil and religious liberty—a man also known from his pro found knowledge and his ri g ht p r actice of halt a ce ntury —he meant Dr. Hulme, of Manchester, had bequeathed to the establishment not only his large estate, but his invaluable library, which would make the whole legacy amount, according to his calculation, to 25,0001. He could scarcely define the valuellootf less s s t g h i an ft, the benefits of which would be shared by the medical school as well as by the general establishment Another important gift had been givea for general purposes, but in which the medical school would s hare. It was a gift of 5,000 L, presented by a gentleman to Lord Auckland, the Vioe-President, on nondition that the donor's name should be concealed .—((sheers.) He would now turn to , the other side of th e pi c ture, which unhappily repre sented a very serious loss the institution h a d recent l y .. suffered. He alluded to the death of his most invaluable friend, the late Mr. Liston, to whose merits such eloquent and ample testimony had been borne in the very able; . report read by Dr. Grant.—(Hear.) Mr. Liston's merits 11 were only half known to the world-lie was onfeeri!iitze -77-- sidered generaby as the first surgeon of the age ; but his ~, • ': othermerits should be considered--his unbounded charity to the poor, as well as his general skill and profound knowledge of every branch of pathological and medical .. science c onnecte d w i t h surgery—a knowledge not sue- : e passed by any surgeon of the age ; to comprehend all his merits, be should be also known as a man ot liberal feelings on questions of civil and religious libei , and what was :more, he should be known asea stria , upright and honest man.--(Cheers.) That college.ii, ie . hospital, society, the comniunity at large, had reason to .. , deplore the loss of one of the greatest men that ever' professed the - healing art—who knew. sehets-49-...--, operate, and who never had recourse to the knife notil every other means consistent with safety had been tried and faded.—(Cheers.) Thu institution had received . ano her loss, happily net by death, but by resignation — lie meant that of the most: able and accemplished profes- -or ot surgery, Mr. Cooper.—(l.leur.) He hoped thst • eircurestances surrouridnist that resignation w ou ld b e inquired into fully, as Mr. Quoin wished. As the report showed the flourishing state of that great medical school—the greatest, lie thought in the world —he could not help pointing out one item to which ‘• Dr. Grant had alluded, viz., to the new entrances, which had, since last they met; exceeded by 25 per cent, those of former years.—(Cheers.) - fie would now say u few words about . the conduct of the students • on a certain day, for he could not. leave them without- . • - expressing his sentiments of the great good resulting , from their conduct.—(Hear, hear.) 'Oil a certainday e e: -.-- about three weeks ago, or more, a threat was held out ,• by some misguided people—(Hear, and -laughter).-4e-- presented to be much more numerous than they Were, by people fit to be treated as patients— (Laug hter}—e, and some thought this threat would be carried into exes cution, and that it would put in jeopardy the quiet 4 and- '- peace of the metropolis; that it would do even still more . . —that it was fraught with dangpf, to which he might • . refer by and by;—great preparations for 'mischief were made by these misguided persons, and great prepare.- tions were made to prevent it by the Government, for • which it deserved thanks—those preparations extending, ' , and being supported by the inhabitants, in the cities: of London and Westminster, an d i nto Southwark: Thou sands and tens of thousands of the citizens of London, from the highest to the lowest—the whole of the coalwhippers—resolved to maintain what it was-their - interest to maintain, viz., the rights of property, the lives of their fellow-subjects, and the peace of the metro polis. It gave him the greatest satisfaction to see that amongst those sworn in as special constables to keep the peace on the day alluded to there was a very large body of the students of that college.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) If anything gratified him more than.another i .. it was the way the threat had been met (it was but a threat), rat), that it should have been met without the 'aid of the military, who were perfectly ready to act, and who would have acted, it ordered, so effectually as to render to call itshould have llupon them h ( y r: I z s e e h it e ll ece ar n . n ) ssay Better r that be eli don e firm conduct of the community at large, and, above all, . by the assistance of young men who were destined to be the strength and ornament of the country.--(Hear, hear, and laughter.) They had borne their part in de fence of the institutions and peace of the country. He • did not like making invidious comparisons, but on look ing across the Channel to another country, and on look ing to this, how different was the course taken by the a e o s w e of iu Europe "tNhoo: ./I>ttng men here from that taken by the students there! • There their conduct was characterised by acts which jeopardyF wag r F r ance —(Loud nce— anything(t h L e o u ph d e ea c c r es i had subverted the peaceful and free Government of e a t 1 n u d thew deplorablewhioe world. e . h v a e d u l t s t in It with ei in e more sorrow and disgust than• another, it was to behold grown up persons putting arms • h ; I nto the hands — but not risking their own persons— t upset the Government.

He 2d On this subject he his fellow inhabitants of Franee—laie sot concealed front opinion as plainly as words could h ad given them his and of the state of things there. lifetitka—of their acts t opinion were not palatable he cared not; but still h e should not prove palatable. He trus ted ,wl 7o e w e e u v rr e Y , if it when they reflected their go o d sense would lead them to appreciate its justice. If finally it were not palatable, he hoped they would look upon it in the light of medi cine, not pleasant to the taste, but still very good for the patient.—(Elear, and -laughter.) He would now return to the 10th ult. Many great and influential persons were grateful for the good conduct of the work-. ing portion of the community on that day, and they thought a testimonial ought to be established to show this feeling, and the testimonial should be a subscrip tion to found a nets hospital, and that there should be annual subscriptions to keep the hospital agoing. He felt deeply gratified to the people of London for their conduct on the day in question, though be believed nothing worse could have occurred than the shedding of the blood of the misguided people he had already spoken of. He differed from those who projected the memorial on two points. Anything like absolute danger on the day in question he would deny in the strongest words— he would dent' that. there was danger for one instant of tune, either liefore the linh. on it, or after it—that 1 there was the s li g ht est , shadow of ti shads of danger to the Goverzine-td, the institutions. „et...lmm o..,th e revolt or a. ieptihlie. A republic might be a very good thing, but he would leave it to othera —revolt ruigh: be a very good thing for those who had rothing to I.:: e, but ec t rything to gain in the scramble. The republican was a very good form of government for i those who liked republics. but the people of England w. , re not repubjcai.s.—(Cheers.) St. Peter was very aril at Rome, as Sancho liana., in Don Qui.rde said ; but it the person who now represented St. Peter there did not take care, he would not be long at Rome, infal lible though he ea' , said to be. lie hoped that person would prove infiable. But, at any rate, whatever they might do abroad, republics wouldn't do either in England Scotland, or Ireland. He was the more anxious that such an opinion should go abroad, for some persons spoke as it there was danger of a republic in England. lie would tell them what was in danger—those mis• 1 gui-led people themselves. The only thing that could happen would be their punishment, which he should be sorry to see, particularly as they were being treated as patients.—(Laughter.) The reason he stated all this was because in France it was thought that the meeting of the 10th was dangerous to the constitetion. He was in that country -at the time, and they advised__ him not to be hasty, and that he would find a Republic established there on the 11th of April. He told them that there was as little danger of a Republic in England as in the Celestial Empire.—(Laughter.) Referring to the names ot the committee for getting up the proposed testimonials, he saw those of dukes, archbishops, and lords, all of whom looked as if they had escaped from. some great danger. He had a great respect for such names, and now paid them all the respect he could feeL He, however, had not much respect for their opi nion on the present occasion, though that opinion should be supported by Sir Roberts and Lord Johns. —(Loud laughter.) Such a testimonial would be acknowledging that they had escaped from some im minent danger, and reasoning that it did not follow that it would not happen again —on the 29th, for instance, for he believed on that day something of the former sort was promised. A great statesman had written to him to support the " order memorial," but he refused, as it would be recognizing the existence of a danger that had never existed. Of all memorials the establishment of a new hospital in London would be the very worst. A high medical authority told him so, and gave his rea sons. There were already hospitals enough in London, and all that was wanted was sufficient money to support them. It would be necessary to subscribe 50,0001. to build a new hospital, and that would be just so much money taken from the other already existing hospitals. That was not all, for it would be necessary to subscribe, according to the calculations of his eminent medical friend, 8,000/. or 10,0001. a year for the continued sup port of a sew hospital. All of this would be withdrawn from the hospitals already established, the most of which were actually languishing in a state between life and death. Take their owh hospital for instance. Iry it there were 200 beds, 130 of which only could be kept, for want of funds.—(Hear.) The walls were up, the rooms bare, 70 beds unoccupied, and funds were wanted it; from year to year to supp ort so every hospital i n London could tell them the same story.hop ed and He trusted, therefore, that the prop osed . building would not take place, as it would injure the exist ing medical insti tutions of the metropolis. He thought i t n ecessary to state these objections publicly, and he thanked the meeting for the patience with which it had listened to his statements.—(Cheers.) His Lordship then left the chair, and the meeting sopa rated. THE WAR IN K A YFlRLAND.—Considerable interest has publication of a work ent i t l e d • The author is M rs .

The presence of an English lady in the wilds of Africa, exhibiting in her own person an example of courage and fortitude under privation— like tbat of Lady Sale in another quarter of the globe— must certainly have been attended with good effects en the minds of the gallant fellows who served during the campaign. The work will doubtless meet with a cordial reception from the English public. - CHARTIST MEETING IN ST. PANCRAS* FIELDS.—A meetin g of Chartists was held yesterday (Sunday) after n,,on in St. Pancras-fields, for the purpose of pro pounding the principles of the Charter, and for the more ostensible object of getting subscriptions towards the support of the National As,embly.

She had tried almost every remedy, and received the advice of several of the first surgeons in Yorkshire ; yet all failed to effect a cure until she used Holloway's invaluable Ointment and Pills, the astonishing powers of which soundly healed every wound. She is now in the enjoyment of the best health, and enabled to walk about the house with ease and comfort. Sold by all druggists, an 4 at rru feaor Etolloway'S establishment, 244, Strand, loondott.
