Nothing can tend snore to extend confidence in these Institutions than this result ; and it Is hoped they will always be Wind affording protection and dis- POnsing benefits to all connected with them, unaffected by those Periodical changes. a ." Notwithstanding the unfortunate position of the country during the past year, the amount of new business transacted by this Com pany has exceeded to a large amount the. business of the previous Lear.

All who are professionally conversant with the condition of oar Heap' , als complain of the inadequate supply of well-trained nurses as en evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their do ties. 'they cannot trust to their orders being executed by t nurses, and they find that the patients sutler from faults of those on whom, in their state of helplessness, they are almost entirelyharac dei en dent ; and it is obvious that any defects in the tempers and c ters of these who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hurt ful influence upon the state of their minds, and must tend to neutral• lac: the effect of the religious Instruction and consolation which they receive while in the hospital. It I. also matter of general notoriety that great difficulty is found in oetaining well qualithal nurses to attend on patients in private (amino, especially in those of the middle and lower classes; and parochial clergymen feel the want of competent persons on whom they could rely, in visting the sick of their respective parishes, and administering to their bodily wants. The moot effectual, perhaps the only effectual. remedy for these evils, Is to train up a body of nurses who shall be taught to look spas their work as a religious one, to undertake it with habits of self-c-oretrce, and with a mind understanding it fully, and prepared for its trying and painful duties. 'the want here spoken of has been felt in other countries as well as in our own, And attempts have been made to meet it. Orders of persons devoting themselves to visiting the sick exist in Roman Catholic countries: an " Institution of Deaconesses" hiss been found useful in Prussie ; a recent attempt to improve the respectability of professional nurses has worked beneficially in England. The Insti tution which It is proposed to found under the name of " Training Institution for Nurses" will be based on the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England ; and it will seek to accomplish its object, not by selecting the self-devoted few who are permitted by freedom from other ditties to give themselves entirely to this, but by endea vouring to act, both directly and Indirectly, uponh the whole body of persons who are pursuing this as their regular calling in life. To raise the character of the class by offering to its members a training which shall qualify them for their professional work, and be at the mne time aesentially a religious training to hold out, to those who are justified in s eeking for it, the prospect of a higher professional position than theyld otherwis of any bin earthly reward) to give and to afford also to those who are read without y hope themselves to this work as one of Christian love, a legitimate field ef labour: these are the means which, as they have been suc ofcess Eng ful In forming the high charact er of the clergy and physicians land, may, it is hoped, be now instrumental, under God's blessing, in raising that of a body which is at, present so much in Want of improvement. it is proposed that the Training Institution should be under the immediate superintendence of a clergyman of the United Church of England and Ireland, as Master. That the inmates of the Institution should consist of three classes :- 1. These under training as probationers. 2. Those who, after passing through the period of probation sa tisfactorily, are admitted as nurses, on condition of their engaging to continue in connexion with the institution for a period of five years from their admission. During this period they will be clothed and maintained, derceiv a fixed annual stipend, and in return will be entirely un the control of the governing body of the In stitution. At the end of these five years they will be entitled to receive from the institution a certificate of their qualification as muses, and thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the Institution, or independent of any direct sontrol from it. It is be lieved that this will be a very important step towards gradually retiring the character of the whole class. position A nu thanrse having others, this cert bei cate necessa rily occupy a higher will likely to set an example which can scarcely fail to have a good effect upon them, and will encourage those who are looking forward to this as e th lves eir to the work iraininn life g , to follow in tbe same course, - and submit them s t of this Institution. 3. In addition to these there will be a class of sisters, which is in tended to comprise persons, of whatever station in life, who are willing to devote themselves to the work of attending the sick and poor, or of educating others for it under an organised system like that which a ill be here provided for them. The management of the Institution will be confided to a council of twenty-tour members, (exclusive f the master, who will be ex officio a member,) belonging to the United Church of England and Ireland, who shall be chosen by the Governors out of their own body. A donation of fifty guineas in one payment, or in several payments within four years, or an annual subscription of five guineas, will con stitute a Governor. uineas in one payment , or in several p ay- A donation of twenty g merits within four years, or an annual subscription of two guineas, will constitute a Donor.

Jl7 SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, 11EDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Memoer 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 Cfrfe , ':, the origin of domestic wretchedness, he raised, and its true source la every instance disclosed, is how many could toe 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 prolific source of mischief and of greater or less Wary to the constitutional aid vital powers. The particular excesses. ea 4w nature and conseauence of which this Treatise professes t• dilate, are productive if greater severity of misery to the hums,' frame, than any ether to which it is subject. This work contains ai accurate aid complete account of the Anatomy and Phyi.iology of the Peproninctive Organs, aid of their relati•;e conditions in health aid disease. It deservedly requires the closest atteatien aid study, fir what subject cam be of snore importance than the preservation if the health, and of the physical capabilities if witch every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy rictus it excessive indulgence aid vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while safferiig trent their invariable conseqnciees, anwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread se frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach if art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination. a ascertaining the canoes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, lava riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by hl.s posse.sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect la his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT 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.

At the present political juncture we hear Tory much of " Ono Hundred and Fifty a-Year," And I certainly think it will nit be amiss, To say a few words on a subject like this; For the topic of income is certainly one Which calla for a line from E. MOSES and EON. Many persons indignantly " set up their backs" At the thoughts of an income and property-ta.x F.specially so when it reaches the sphere Of a limited " Hundred and Fifty a-Year." The statesmen themselves ars divided about it, Some wish to retain it, while others would scout it ; Some cry " Let us Lava it," and others cry " Waive it;" But the neutral language of MOSES is " save it All persons poseeesed of a " hundred and Fifty," Mayo need to be prudent, and cautious, and thrifty, And the fset of an income and property-tax, Should teach them to wear MOSES' coats ou their backs. 'll.O savings by MOSIIS would shortly appear In the tax on a " hundred and Fifty a-Year," The coats, vests, and trewsors, the hate, and the abets, Weald save theta far mere than the taxes would lose ; And the worth of the garments would make them appear POSBeB,9'd of Five Hundreds and Fifty a-Tear ; And thus have we proved that the subject is one Whion specially bears on E.

" Sir.—lt is new three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced tie to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try FLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe oases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since which I have had no return of the complaint. _ _ _ ... ....... a V.. .

" I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, "MICHAEL IiA.SMYTH." The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of h air's Goat and Rheumatic Pills, which afford. speedy relief to those afflicted with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the head and face, and all analogous complaints. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to theca a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but re store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many grateful evidences of its benign inluence.

OWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL. It may with truth be averred, that ROWLANDS' MAC AS SAR OIL has enjoyed an extent of patronage and public favour dui . ing the last half century which is totally unexampled in the annals of felicitous discovery. The extraordinary efficacy, and happy amal gamation of its purely exotic materials, have rendered it justly re nowned throughout the world for its remarkable virtues in nourish ing, preserving, and beautifying the Human Hair. It insinuates its balsamic properties into the pores of the head, nourishes the Hair in its embryo state, cleanses it frail scurf and dandriff, accelerates its growth, sustains it in maturity, and continues its possession of healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redundancy to the latest period of human life. In the growth of Whiskers, Eyebrows, and Mustachois, it is also unfailing in its st imulativ e operations. For Chil dren it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a Beau tintl Head of Hair, and rendering the use of the flue comb unne cessary. Its invaluable properties have obtained the especial Patronage of her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the whole of the Royal Family of Great Britain, and of every Court of the civilised world ; and the high esteem in which it is universally held, together with numerous Testimonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and surest proofs of its merits.

Tnn LATIII Mi. DOC? LAS'S " ADVENTURES OF A MEDICAL S TUD ENT. — This work c ons i sts o f a ser i e s of stories rather resembling ' The Diary of a late Physi cian,' resembling it certainly in the tragical (and often terrific) character of the tales. They have most of them a striking, many of them, a startling species of interest, and indicate no common power of imagination. The work will be enjoyed by the readers of fiction, and the more so on account of the variety of incident which it embraces, there being upws.rds of twenty distinct tales. In many of them, where the interest is more of a domestic nature, the scenes are ofa mat i tender and touching character; in others, th e interest s more terrible in its nature, touching upon dark deeds of bloodshed. Nor are there wanting stories: f the strange and then uper natural. In fact, we the first fruits of wild and fervid fancy, revelling in its full luxuriance.— M'ernisg Post. Amongst those relations in which one man feels very repugnant to stand with another? is that of security ; and although a friend may express his willingness to do much to serve you, he evinces a strong disinclination to become responsible for your actions or fidelity. This feeling so generally pervades mankind, that it is a matter of difficulty to procure persons who are not under its influence. This difficulty is, however, now happily re moved by the formation of an association, professing to stand responsible for the fidelity of persons in situations of trust, for a trifling an nual per tent age , an d w hi c h, under the direction of influential gentlemen, has offices in the capitals of both England and Scotland. In the former, at 9, IVnterioo-place! Pali-mall, and in the latter, at 127, Princes- street, Edinlin.r9 l !. The Lords of the Treasury, the Poor-law Commissioners, and others, are amongst those who, convinped of the beneficial nature of this association, have given it their ,sanction, and accept it as ample security.

S Ng FRENCH LA PECHE AUX This species of piscatory days of Irish fortune-bunters are gone ; after doing duty at every watering-place and in every novel of the hour, the trade was removed to Paris, where the young roues of the Jockey Club, running through all their tortune, on the average, in two years, with is Sport and Is Turf, found means to pass off with the beaux peres parvenus the brass that was left for the gold that was lost, and regilded their fortunes with the assistance of rich brides. In the vaudeville of last night aM. Olgar (Josset) is practising the aforesaid piscatory art on a rich vulgarian, M. Camus de Montgibaut (Cartigny). This beaux-pine has a daughter, Caroline, who is far less enthusiastic than her father for Olgar's decoys of fashion and riches, and is still less smitten by his person. Her sentiments are far different, however, for M. Fabien Cbatelain, the son of a banker, who, dying at the mo ment of a commercial crisis, has barely left his son suf ficient to pay the creditors of the firm, of whom Montgibant.is one of the most considerable, and one of the very few that have not withdrawn their capital; the vulgar millionaire is about to do so, and despises Fabien for his poverty. Fortunately the young man bu s a foster sister, Dorothtie (Nathalie), who loves him deeply, and has not deserted him in his adversity. She manages to draw Montgibaut, by a false address, to Fabien's home; she diverts the fine clothes and the fine dinners, the hired carriage and horses Olgar has ordered, from their destination, and places them at the disposal of ber foster brother as each emergency arises, whilst, for the love of her, every one tenders him service. The result is, that M. Olgar is discarded; Montgibaut—his palate tickled with niceties, and his eyes fascinated with apparent riches—confides his fortune to Fabien, who marries Caroline; whilst Dorothise--disiuterested to the last — refuses his hand, although she loves him, and finds her happiness in the triumph of her exertions. There are no terms of praise too strong to be applied to the deli cacy, finesse, and feeling alternately displayed by Nathalie. Josset, as the spendthrift lion, with a head asempty as his purse, was effective; whilst Cartigny, as the vulgar millionaire, was admirable. Had the orchestra only condescended to play in tune, and the intervals betwixt the acts been shorter, we should have pronounced the performance perfect. There were present—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, attended by Mrs. de Burgh, the Baroa Knesebeck, and Mr. Edmond S. John Mildmay; the Russian Minister and the Baroness Brunnow, Lord and Lady Fitzroy Somerset, Lord and Lady Holland, Lady Webster, Lord Munster, Lord Malmesbury, Sir John Lyster and Lady Kaye, Sir Henry Meux, COURT CIRCULAR.

KINSALE ELECTION. The Cork Reporter contains the following, received by express from Kinsale:- 4' KINSALE, SATURIDAT.—At eight o'clock this morn ing the polling commenced in the booths, three in number, and, as the scents for both parties were up all night preparing for the coming contest, the supporters of the rival candidates rushed in immediately on the opening of the court, and the polling was carried on very spiritedly for some time. There was no rioting, or more excitement exhibited than would be naturally sup posed to take place on such occasions. The men stood by, passive spectators of passing events, and any ex pressions of disapprobation or applause were given by a number of women who congregated before the court house, hnt no violence was offered to any person polling. "At the hour I write (twelve o'clock) the polling stands as follows: — Lord Robert Clinton ... 85 Mr. Hawes ... 79 Majority for Lord . R. Clinton ... —6 " The entire number polled, up to this hour, is 164, which would leave 30 still to record their votes; and as many who on the last election voted for Mr. Guinness, on the present occasion gave their support to Mr. Hawes, it is not improbable that that gentleman will bo the sitting candidate. However, should he be returned, it will be by a very small majority, and it is calculated that the largest majority which the successful candidate may have over his rival will he 3." RETURN OF MR. HAWES. " Messrs. Johnstone, of Eden-quay have favoured us with the following letter, just received from their agent in Kinsale.— "KINSALE, SATURDAY NIGHT, HALF-PAST FOUR.— Mr. Hawes has been declared the sitting member for this borough. We could not get the exact numbers; but his majority over Lord Robert Clinton does not exceed five or six at the utmost." SHOCKING MURDER BY POACRIIRS. HYTIIR HANTS, SATURDAY.—Ti,e magistrates of this distric have been, during the week, prosecuting an investiga tion relative to the death of Charles Payne, a game keeper on the estate of A. R. Drummond, Esq, of Cad lands, near this place, who lost his life in a fearful conflict with a gang of poachers. It appeared that, on the evening of Saturday, the 26th ult., the deceased accompanied by another watcher, of the name of John Cull, and his nephew, James Cull, were out in the pre serves, on duty. About half-past ten o'clock they heard the report of fire-arms, just above Cadland's house. They proceeded in the direction of the sound. Reaching a place called Shobland's Copse, five men approached ; the gamekeepers then pounced upon them, and a fearful encounter followed. The poachers tired one of their guns, and, by beating the watchers back with the butt-end of their fire-arms, sadly maimed the unfortunate deceased. Cull, the other gamekeeper, courageously held the ruffians William Smith and Thomas Brotcher. The other men were recognised to be Stephen Harris, Thomas Knapp, and Alexander Cavell. In the pockets of Smith were found two phea sants, and on the spot where the fatal affray took place the remains of the guns were found. At the Coroner's inquest on the body the jury returned a verdict of " Wil ful Murder against Morris, as principal, and against Thomas Knapp, William Smith, Alexander Cavell, and Thomas Brotcher, as eiders and abettors." The magis trate, who presided, adjourned the examination of the prisoners until next Tuesday. Some of the poachers are still suffering from the injury they sustained in the des perate rencontre. HULL, MARCH 13.—The Archimedes steamer has just arrived from Hamburgh, which town is in a state of great fermentation. The Senate has voted freedom of the press, but the concession comes too late, and formidable demonstrations are being made to compel much greater concessions. Meanwhile business is at a s t a nd-still, and confidence is superseded by gloom and anxiety. We understand that their Royal Highnesses the Dako and Duchess of Montpensier left England on Thursday last for Ostend, on their route to Germany. DEATII OF SIR EDWARD BAYTUM SANDYS, BART. —This gentleman died a few days since, at Tredegar, Cornwall, in his 55th :year. Ile possessed estates in Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. In 1607 he assumed the name of Bayntum by sign manual. GLASGOW, MARCH 11.—Pw COR tinued unfavourable accounts from the continent, and the riots here, have had a depressing influence on the price of pig iron. Several thousand tons have been sold during the week at from 478. to 48s. cash, for mixed numbers; ono sale was reported at 445. To-day the market closes with a very heavy appearance at 455. sellers, but little could be placed at 445. cash. Cotton wool—Business has been very dull and unsettled since M on day on account of our local disturbances, and as compared with last week, prices are down id per lb. From the same cause the transactions in cotton yarn and Lgoods have been very limited. • -':•:•• heavy. Sales 3,500 bales, of whip ~auu wek can at 4id. to 6d. Railway Shares were dull, but prices could not be considered lower. The accounts from Rio :do Janeiro, of the 24th January, notice the failure of Lord Hots:den:a efforts to obtain a liberal arrangement of the duties in future to be charged upon British imports, but without success. The proceedings of the Provisional Government of France in endeavouring to raise fund s are watched i with intense interest here. It is evident, an d the necessity s acknowledged by impartial persons, that, nolens !,okns, the capitalists of Paris must exhibit confidence in the existing Government, but it is not clear that their back- I!•ardness arises from unwillingness so much as inabi lity. The losses of the great houses at Paris must have been tremendous, and how to be repaired none can tell, for each day imposes further sacrifices. The good sense of the working classes who,doubtless, need greater liberty and fairer treatment, but who do not desire the prostration of their employers, is looked to as almost the only safe guard. The cause of free-trade too, in the hands of such a man as Louis Blanc, is not likely to receive much encouragement; and so far his doctrines are at variance with the true principles to be expected from republi canism, viz., extended commerce, and friendship secured by ties of interest with all parts of the world. Accounts from New York remark that " should the State decide upon enlarging the Northern canal, she will be placed in a better position than Boston for foreign trade, as ino railroads can compete with 4,000- barrel vessels on a parellel line of travel. A daily line of steam-boats could then be established with Mon treal—the immense timber region on the Ottawa would be opened up for the present to the West Indies, &c., &c.; New York would thus be opened up A mach more extended field of enterprise ; and, moreover, Canada as a province, would reap a rich harvest from the revenue from her canals, if the contemplated trade passed through the St. Lawrence. The trade with Upper Canada, which now goes through the Erie canal to Oswego, would all by this proposed scheme pan through her own canals, and within nine miles of Montreal. The !tier• chant of Montreal and Quebec would possess a double advantage over those in New York, as he would have the choice at Lochine of the markets for his produce, as he could either send it to Europe via the St. Lawrence, o r to New York via Lake Champlain. At p resent there is but little foreign trade in Canada, and the proposed plan is the only way to create it." The English Funds opened well this morning, but Lave since gone flatter, in the absence of any extensive transactions. Consols have been 814 to 81, being now about 80* to 81*. Exchequer-bills are firm at Hs. to 305. premium, and India Bonds at 13s. premium. The Foreign Securities are still inactive, though rather better than they were yesterday.

The discovery was made by a police-constable, who succeeded in making the inmates sensible of the great danger to which they were exp osed. They immediately got up, and made an attempt to escape by the stairs, but they had barely got upon the landing when they were met by an immense sheet of fl ame, which near ly p ros t ra t e d th e m. Having retraced their steps to their bed rooms they were about to throw themselves from the second. floor window, when th e p o li ceman ca ll e d t o t h em t o re main where they were for a f ew m i n utes, as th e escape was coming. The machine belonging to the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire having reached the scene, the whole of the residents were taken down in safety. It was past emo o'clock before the fire was safely extinguished. THE LONDON FLORICULTURAL SOCIETY. —Yester• day a 'meeting of parties interested in floriculture took place at the London Tavern, for the purpose of estab lishing a society for the encouragement of that art, and the permanent support of florists in their productions. The chair was taken by Mr. Edwar ds, of Holloway, when the proposed rules and regulations were read to the meeting, and agreed to unanimously. One of the m ain rules which will guide the society will be the ad mission of amateurs to compete with the nurs er y men and florists for the prizes to be aw arded by th e comm i ttee o f m anagement for all descriptions of florists' flowers. Mr. Dixon, Mr. Kendal, Mr. Neville, Mr. Bright, Mr. Shanks, Mr. Back, and several oth er fl or i sts , wer e present on the occasion. After the routine business had been gone through, a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Edwards, the chairman, when the meeting was adjourned. ST. ANDREW?.—The election of Lord Rector for the University took place here on the 6th current, when the Very Reverend Principal Haldane was unanimously returned as Rector for the following year. TOTAL DESTRUCTIOI,IOFTHE VIADUCT OVER THE RIVER NIDD AT K NARES BOYOUGH.—KNARESBOROUGII, YORKSHIRE, SATURDAY. —This day, about half-past eleven A.M., the entire viaduct, which was nigh being completed, fell in with a tremendous crash. It con sisted of four arches (the centres of which had not been removed), each 50 feet span and 80 feet high. The cause of so great a catastrophe remains a mystery yet to be explained, but it is thought it has arisen in a great measure through the heavy rains which have prevailed for the last two months. Fortunately no lives were lost. It was intended for the use of the Leeds and Thirak. York and North Midland, and vest and West York shire Junction Railways. - - - --.• • ,-,--- , . ... / ._--------) ? , 41111 - - ..._. ~/' ...., z > 11 ) 1 , , •: • , - ' i -,.,:, t, /1" ' Do. 101.
