Mr. Bunn had his lawyers. and so had poor Jenny, Who now, it appears, has to pay a rare penny. Two Thousand Five Hundred, besides all expences, Is enough to make Jenny bereft of her noises. This minstrel, whose music has made us so fond, Has to pay this amount, having broken her bond ; Yes, in spite of the speeches of counsel vehemeat, Jenny Lind is declared to have broken agreement. And certainly that is a serious charge. Which should give a broad hint to the public at large. I have thought since I heard of this action of Bunn, Of the public agreement of MOSES and SON. E MOSES and SON, as ou all must respond, Ilan never been known to dishonour their bond. In the whole of their promises, no matter what, They've stuck to their contract, if Jenny has not. Their Dress.coats are proofs that they stick to their terms, And the whole of their stock this agreement confirms. Their elegant fashion, and quality, too, Are proofs that they keep their agreement in view ; And an action should steer been entered by Bunn, flail the " Nightingale" acted like MOSES and SON.

TRAINING INSTITUTION FOR NURSES FOR HOSPITALS, FAMILIES, AND THE POOR. All who are professionally conversant with the condition of our Hospitals complain of the inadequate supply of well-trained nurses as an evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their du ties. They cannot trust to their orders tieing executed by the nurses, and they find that the patients suffer from faults of those on whom, in their state of helplessness, they are almost entirely depen dent; and it is obvious that any defects in the tempers and charac ters of those who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hurt ful influence upon the state of their minds, and must tend to neutral. ize the effect of the religious Instruction and consolation which they receive while in the hospital. It is also platter of general notoriety that great difficulty is found in obtaining well qualified nurses to attend on patients in Titivate families, especially in those o; 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 wattle. The most effectual, perhaps the only effectual, remedy for these evils, is to train up a body of nurses who shall be taught to look upon their work as a religious one, to undertake it with habits of self-control, and with a mind understanding it fully, and prepared for its trying and painful duties. 'I he want here spoken of has been felt in other countries as well as is our own, and attempts have beets made to meet it. Orders of persons devoting themselves to visiting the sick exist in Roman Catholic countries : an " Institution of Deaconesses" has been found useful in Prussia ; 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 Nurse," 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 duties to give themselves entirely to this, but by endea vouring to act, both directly and indirectly, upon the whole body of persons who are pursuing this as their regular calling in life. To raise the character el the class by offering to its members a training which shall qualify them ler their professional work, and be at the same time essentially a religious training; to hold out, to those who are justified in seeking for it, the prospect of a higher professions , position than they could otherwise obtain ; and to afford also to those who are ready (without hope of any earthly reward) to give themselves to this work as one of Christian love, a legitimate field of labour: these are the means which, as they have been successful in forming the high character of the clergy and physicians of Eng 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 shouldi; 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, and receive a fixed annual stipend, and in return will be entirely under 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 nurses, and thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the Institution, or independent of any direct control from It. It is be lieved that this will be a very important step towards gradually raising the character of the whole class. A nurse having this certi cate will necessarily occupy a higher position than others, will be likely to set an example which can scarcely fail to have a good effect upon them, and will encourage those who arc looking forward to this as their work in life, to follow in the same course, and submit them selves to the training of this Institution. 3. In addition to these there will he 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 w ill be here provided for them. The management of the Institution will be confided to a council of twenty-four members, (exclusive c 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. A donation of twenty guineas in one payment, or in several pay ments within four years, or an annual subscription of two guineas, will constitute a Donor. The Lord Bishop of London has sanctioned the plan now sub mitted to the public, and has kindly consented to become President of the Institution. It has also rece'veci the approbation of the Lord Archbishop cif York, and the Bishops of Lichfield, Salisbury, Gloucester and Bristol, Ripon, and Norwich. The Rev. C. Wordsworth, D.D., George Frere, Esq., and Dr. Latham, have kindly consented to act as Trustees to the Insti tution. Henry Sykes Thornton, Esq., has consented to act as Treasurer. The following gentlemen have formed themselves into a Provi sional Committee, to arrange the details of the Institution, and to solicit assistance for its establishment and maintenance : Rev. J. M.

The extraordinary efficacy, and happy amal gamation of its purely exotic materials, have rendered it justly re nowned throughout the world for its remarkalsle virtues in nourish ing, preserving, and beautifying the Human Hair. It insinuates its balsamic properties into the pores of the head, nourishes the Bair in its embryo state, cleanses it from scurf and dandruff, accelerates Its growth ; sustains it in maturity, mid 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 stimulative operations. For Chil dren it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a Beau tiful Head of Hair, and rendering the use of the fine 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, aud 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.

R K IA G E. One half the world arc desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes ern kitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical 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 justice demand that health should form an item In the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or Neglect woand more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edln burgh,Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London llospital Sliedical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Cculd the yell, which covers the origin of domestic wretchednese, he raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could itbe traced t• physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomee, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury te 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 tram°, than any other to which it is subject. Thin work contents an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and rlaysiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions is 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 ei the physical capabilities of witch every man should be possessed. It unfsrtunately 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' from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear cf ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously eutertained 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 dseave, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelNent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse,sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, ae his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his Arefessional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

B RITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, NEW-ROAD, LONDON. Report of Richard Tothill, Esq., of Heavitree, near Exeter, M.R.C.S.L., for 1848. " I have now for thirteen years conducted the Exeter Ilygelan Dis pensary, wherein the poor of Exeter and its neighbourhood have been treated gratuitously with Mr. Morison's purely Vegetable Medicine of the British College of Health, and I am still more confirmed in my opinion (from practical experience, not in one er two cases, but in hundreds), that the Hygeian system is founded in truth. The cases which have been cured by that excellent medicine have lot been of a common character, being, as I may say, the incurables of the hos pitals at Exeter, it being only after trying all sorts of treatment that patients have recourse, as a last resort, to the Ilygelan medicines. The names of the parties and their addresses are recorded in my book for the inspection of the public. I have treated upwards of 300 poor paticuts during the past year, and I have now about 150 ow the Dispensary books. In conclusion, I beg to return my sincere thanks to the subscribers to the Dispensary. (Signed) " RICHARD TOTHILL, Burgeon, &e. " Heavitree, near Exeter, Jan. 1, 1848." N.B. No chemist or druggist is authorised to Fell Morison's Pills. BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New road, London. —The principles of the Hygeian theory are con tained in the followin propositions :-1. The vital principle is con tained 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 bleed, or, in other words, from acri monious humours lodged in the body. D. This humour, which de generates the blood, has three sources —the maternine, the conta gious, 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 eradi cating disease. 8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MORISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE to he such proper vegetable purgative. 9. From the intimate connexion subsisting between the mind and the body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimatono, of the ilerbary, High pato for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hai ran her head, after using itabout four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s itegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, net only iu the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe Tr drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the coral), make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A ICNV drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the mast aromatic herbs s flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion t) the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, peer ten or twelve drops on the erown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most eases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplicatlons. If used on infants' li,ads, it has such a peculiar tooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

TILE INDIAN MAILS.—The apprehensions relative to the fate of our outward Indian mail hare, we believe, induced the Lords of the Admiralty to take into con sideration the best means of securing our Indian correspondence for the future. We have reason to be lieve that their Lordships are about to order one of the best steamers to proceed direct to Malta to meet the mails which were to leave Hong-Kong on the 31st Jan., Calcutta the Bth, and Bombay the 16th of February, and t o convey them direct to Southampton. Lieutenant Waghorn, with his usual zeal, has been investigating the different bearings of this truly important subject, and considers the plan proposed by their Lordships fhe must desirable one to be adopted under present circumstances. lADVERTISEMENT.=I—THE EARL OF ALDBOROUGH LND HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—An astounding cure by this miraculous medicine, after every other means had failed.

Sales, 2,560 bales, of which 2,000 were American, at 411 per lb. Railway Shares had been affected by the general.panic. North Western fell 101. per share, and Midland,64. We have had an opportunity of inspecting the news papers from various parts of the continent, and in none of them does there appear to be any political intelli gence of striking interest, although the condition of the markets for the Pubiic Securities was extremely agitated, even where the extent of the French Revolutioeliad not become known. Belgian Stoek had suffeied most, although all was quiet up to the latest accounts from Antwerp, notwithstandin g the agitation in the frontier towns of France. The resumption of trade in France is likely to be very slow, but the postal communication is again in open,- don; and it has been officially intimated to our Govern ment, that the India mail has been safely forward on through France. The abandonment of the income• tax has given much satisfaction; and it is hoped that if taxes must hereafter be levied, for a present necessity is not adusitteN the upper classes will offer no opposition to contributplrom their fixed " property."

':heir Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess Augustus of Saxe• Coburg, and their three infant children, have been received at Buckingham Palace by her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and are for the present residing there. The infant daughter of the Duke de Nemours is likewise for the present receiving her Xsjesty'iaospitality. Her Royal Highness the Duch of Gloucester visited their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, yesterday, at Cambridge House. A Cabinet Council was held at half-past two o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign-office. The Ministers present were—Lord John Russell, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Sir George Grey, Viscount Palmerston, Earl Grey, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, the Earl of Auckland, Sir John Hobhouse, Lord Campbell, Viscount Morpeth, the Right Hon. H. Labouchere, and the Right Hon. T. B. Macaulay. The Council sat an hour and a half.

Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours did not leave the French Embassy, where his Royal Highness is at present sojourning. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Font repaired to Hertford House, at ten o'clock, and there visited her illustrious relatives their Royal Highnesses the Prince Angustus and Princess of Saxe Coburg Gotha. The Royal Duchess remaiaed about half an hour with the Prince and Princess. The children of the Prince and Princess, namely, the Princes Philippe, Augustus, and the Princess Mary, and Prince Louis (Count d'Eu), eldest son of the Duke de Nemours, in the forenoon, after taking an airing in Lord Foley's carriage, wero taken to Buckingham Palace, one of the Queen's carriages having been sent from the Royal Mews for that purpose, where they still remain. At a quarter to four o'clock, the Duchess de Mont pensier arrived at the Embassy from the London-bridge terminus of the South-Eastern Railway. Her Royal highness parted from the King and Queen very shortly after they left Paris, and under escort of a confidential friend of the Duke de Montnensier made the best of her way to Boulogne. At Abbeville the Duchess had a very narrow escape, having been recognised and attacked by a mob. Her Royal Highness only escaped by taking refuge in the house of a gentleman, from the rear of which she afterwards escaped and ultimately reached Boulogne, from which port she crossed yesterday. His Royal Highness Prince Leopold of Naples, Count de Syracuse, brother of the King of Naples, and, there tore, nephew of the ex-Queen of the French, waited on the Duke de Nemours, and had an audience of some duration. It will be recollected that, according to the correspondence frcm Paris, in the ,journals, the Prince was detained against his will from repairing to Naples in the outbreak of the political disturbances in Sicily. His Royal Highness, with much difficulty, escaped from Paris, and reached our hospitable shores on Sunday night, and forthwith came to the metropolis yesterday morning. We have only further to say, that their Royal High nesses the Prince and Princess Augusta of Saxe Coburg removed from the French Embassy soon after seven o'clock last evening to Buckingham Palace, to there re main while in this country. In case it should be sup posed by many of our readers, that it is likely to hurt our friendly relations with the Provisional Government of France, we only locution the fact, that the Prince is a cousin of the Prince Consort. _ The Duke of Wellington called personally at half past one o'clock to visit the Royal Duke, and the other visits of condolence included the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk and the Ladies Howard, his Excellency the Bavarian Minister, and Baroness de Cetto, his Excel lency Viscount Moncorvo, his Excellency Chevalier Bunsen, Chevalier Ribero, M. Tacon, the Spanish Charge d'Affaires, the Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne, the Marquis and .Marchioness of Salisbury, the Earl and Ladies Fitzwilliam, Viscountess Palmer ston, tho Earl of Mansfield, tho Earl and Countess Granville, the Dowager Countess Verulam, the Countess (Dowager) Mansfield and Ladies Murray, the Earl Spencer, the Earl and Countess Delawarr, Colonel and Lady Alice Peel, Viscount and Viscountess Jo celyn, the Earl Fortescue, Viscount and Vicountess Ebringtcn, Viscount and Viscountess Canning, Sir Stratford and Lady Canning, Viscount Canterbury, Mr. H. Baring, M.P.; Mr. and Lady Georgiana Fuller ton, Lady Brougham, Lion. Colonel Dawson Darner, Lady Anne Mackenzie, the Earl and Countess of Shel burne, Sir Harry and Lady Verney, Vicount and Vi countess Dillon, the Earl and Countess of Jersey, and Lady Clementina Villiers, Sir James and Lady Graham, and Miss Graham, Viscount and Vicountess Falkland, Lieutenant-General Sir Alexander Woodford, Lieu tenaut-Colonel Edward Bagot, the Countess of Gains• borough, and Lady Catherine Noel, Mr. O'Gorman Mahon. &c.. The Duke de Montebello called, and had a protracted audience of the Duke de Nemours yesterday. At the hour our informant left the French Embassy no tidings had been received of the Duke de Montpen sier, or Louis Phillips and his estimable Consort. The refuge of the Duchess de Nemours is also unknown. It is now satisfactorily ascertained that M. Duchatel is in safety. The general opinion of all persons from Paris is, that M. Guizot is secreted in the capital (that is to say up to Thursday last), but an impression i; en tertained thnt he escaped that night and fled to the south. This latter is acknowledged to be only conjecture. FLANDERS MAIL. Bausssr.s, FEB. 2G.—Mr. Van Praidli, the Mi nister of the Royal Household , has been dispatched to Paris. An edict has been issued by the Minister of War, calling upon the militia of 1843 and 1844 to assemble beneath their standards. FEB. 27.—The deepest anxiety prevails here as to the fate of the ex-King of the French, for nothing whatever has been heard respecting his movements. The general opinion is that he will go to England. Our Queen shows the most admirabl e p resence o f mind under the terrible disasters which have befallen her family. Yesterday morning, at e l even o ' c l oc k, hi s Majesty again held a Privy C ounc il. Th e Ch am b er of Representatives was crowded with anxious au ditors, who expected that fr o m the general intense anxiety which prevailed, that the Mi nisters and the Members of the Chambers would give vent to expressions of the general feeling on this momentous subject; there was, however, neither dis cussion nor explanation, and this might have been expected. FEB. 26.—The theatrical representation which was to have taken place this, evening for the benefit of the poor of Flanders has been postponed, the manager being of opinion that during the extreme agitation which prevails the theatre will be deserted. After to-day the police will demand to see , the passports of all persons arriving at or leaving I len ders by the steamers. — Journal du Commerce d' Anvers. GRATZ, FEBRUARY.—The disturbances among the peasants, though apparently subdued, const an tly re appeard in a spirit of discontent an d opp!oin, land manifest themselves in numerous ways, whic ol out sad forebodings for the f u ture. The directors of the Brussels Railway have decided that they will not issue any tickets either forValen ciennes or Lille. They will not undertake to carry passengers farther than Imeorain on the one side and Monscrou on the other. King Leopold, although profoundly moved by these events, appears perfectly calm and collected. He is continually occupied with Ministers in concoct , ing measures which may be called by the extra- SPORTING IN TELL IGENCE. TAT I'ERSALL'S.—Y }WEEDILY. LIVERPOOL STEEPLECHASE. 8 to 1 agst Capt.

ITORSE FAIRS IN THE NORTIL—At the various horse fairs w hich have been held in the northern counties during the last few days, contrary to the opinion of a number of large dealers, the prices of horses, especially good ones, have been considerably higher than was anti cipated, and the demand greater. At Wigton, Cocker mk,uth, and other places, the show of horses was gene rally numerous and superior animals.
