Pe ruvian Guano per acre, I got over 25 tons per acre (of Turnips) on land which never before grew 7 tons to the acre. This year I hope to muster 400 tons at least, and I am shaping my course for iulty 800 tons of roots upon an estate, which, before I took possession of it last year, never grew 20 tons in any one year." Superphosphate of Lime is the best Manure for the Turnip Crop, aril the cost is 21. per ton less than Peruvian Guano. All Manures delivered to any railway station or wharf in Loudon, without any extra charge. Dealers supplied on liberal terms. JOHN HUNT, .Manure Works, High-street, Lambeth, London. FRAAIPTON'S PILL of HEALTH. The manifold advantages to the Heads of Families from the possession of a medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sickness occurring in tamili a, more or less, every day, are so obvious to all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every householder in the kingdom. From among numerous testimonials, the following is respectfully submitted : " To Mr. Thomas Front, 229, Strand, T.ondon. "No. 5, David•street, Regent-road, Manchester, March 12,1842. " Sir, —I have much satisfaction in communicating to you the re sult of my experience after repeated trials of Frampton's Pill of Health ; and I feel it but justice to state, that in the course of many years' trial of variou• Aperient Medicines, I have never found results at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from redundant bile, &c., &c., with so little inconvenience; I am there fore warranted in Aeclaring that they supply to me a means lom, wanting of being able to recommend to families, schools, and espe cially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most valuable resource in an occasional melt Me. And I shall take credit to myself it; in giving this testimony, I am the means of making Frampton's Pills more generally known and appreciated.—l am,. Sir, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH." The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest recommendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit from their are, render any lengthened comment unnecessary. They are not put forth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is liable, but for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well " known attendants, Bilious and Sick Headache, Pain and Oppression atter meals, tdddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in the Head and Ears, Drowsiness, Heartburn, Loss of Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c. Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy action of the Liver, Bowels and Kidneys will rapidly take place ; and instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age, will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions accompanying each box.

Matriculated Member ef the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Ilall, London, Honorary Member of the London I lespital 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 cevers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when axed in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when ibused.the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and conseauence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attentien and study, for what subject can tie of more Importance than the preservation sf the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should bP Possessed. it unfortunately happens that the unhappy their li g iv u - a a r ll i fl a c b d le consequences, v , ictim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whe%her acquired rr n om early life or from the Milled of advanced age, while suffering where aloneyi plying to a unwisely entertains a tear of ap requentlY, but erroneous) physician for relief.

Our advertising columns contain a statement, put forth by Mr. Astley's committee, of the circum stances under which the agreement for the with drawal of that gentleman at the last general election was concluded. What answer some of the gentlemen ho have exerted themselves to bring forward Mr. Cornwall Legh may have to make to this state. ment, we cannot pretend to anticipate; but it seems to us that, without some explanation, involving facts not yet before the public, a portion of them will be placed in a very unenviable position. The joint committee of Mr. Egerton and Mr. Stanley agree that, in case of the withdrawal of Mr. Astley at that time, they will abstait, from all opposition to his return in case of a vacancy arising during the present Parl iament. This compact, so far as we can oiscover, was agreed to or acquiesced in, by every member of the committee, and by Mr. Egerton's agent and legal adviser. In pursuance of it. Mr. Egerton and Mr stanley were returned without op. positi• n, and those gentlemen and their friends were re lieved from alarge amount of trouble, anxiety, and expense. We are informed, on what we deem unquestionabh authority, that Mr. Egerton, no doubt dul) garding these considerations, has taken a course which might be fully expected from his well-known personal honour, and has expressly declined ti countenance the opposition to Air. Astley's return. Some of his supporters, however, we are given to understand, have thought themselves at liberty 'to pur sue a different course, and have promised their active support to Mr. Cornwall Legh. Now we must say that any gentleman who actively agreed, or passively acqui esced, in this compromise, and who reaped the, benefit cl it, in the return of their own candidate, and the saving of their own time and money, will stand before thk public in no very creditable light, if it should appear that, without any new circumstances to justify them, they now refuse to fulfil the condition into which they entered at the election, and, instead of acquiescing in t he return of Mr. Astley, get up an active contest against him. Of course, these remarks do not apply to Mr. Cornwall Legh, who not unreasonably considt red him self very ill-used by his political friends at the last elec tion, and took no part whatever in the arran i gements; but we think that Mr. Legh would not like to owe his return to a discreditable breach of faith, ex i oress or implied, on the part of his principal supporters.--Man. cheater Guardian.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. —At a meeting to consider the proposal to lease Ithis line, the Chairman stated that offers bad been made to lease the line at six per cent. for three years, and sev trn per cent. perpetually, by the York, Newcastle, and Be r wick and by the Caledonian Railway Companies. which offers he would recommend the shareholders not to accept, as he felt convinced much better terms could be obtained, and that the line was worth ten pin cent. ; arid it was resolved that the meeting be a.l - to the 31st inst., to enable the directors to nego• tiate with any improved offers that mi g ht be made.

Yesterday a public meeting of the electors of Middle. sex, convened by the Sheriffs, on a requisition nu merously and respectably signed, was held at Captain Hall's Riding-school, Albany-street, Regent's park, for the purpose, as stated in the requisition, of " taking into consideration the manif o ld evils under which many mil lions of her Majesty's loyal subjects are suffering, and of adopting such resolutions as may be deemed expedient for the removal of tho se evils, and for the protection of the Throne from danger." The Riding-school, which is calculated to contain about 1,500 persons, and is admirably suited to the pur poses of a public meeting—having a convenient and spacious balcony fitted up at one end—was at no time during the proceedings inconveniently crowed. The general estimate was, that about 1,000 persons were present. - At a quarter to one o'clock, the Sheriffs, Messrs. Cubitt and Hill, accompanied by the Under- Sheriff, David William Wire, Esq., arrived, and were followed shortly afterwards by oseph Hume, E s q ., M.P.; W. Williams, E sq . (l ate Member f or Coventry), Mr. Armstrong (a m ag i strate of the county ) , geant Shoe, Mr. Sergeant Gazelee, Mr. Richard Taylor, Mr. Macleod, Mr. Hull, and various other gentlemen who are generally conspicuous in the Reform move ments of the county. Previous to the chair being taken, several of the leading members belonging to she defunct Chartist Convention obtained admission to the Mr. Ser balcony, and were loudly cheered by the persons in the great body of the meeting. At this time the building was not more than half tilled and a considerable num ber of police-constables wer e o b serve d to b e i n terspersed amongst the crowd. The Sheriffs having taken th e i r sea ts, Mr. WIRE (the Under-Sheriff, who acted practically chairman) proceeded to read the requisition. When - be had con eluded, A PERSON in the crowd, who said he was a freeholder of the county of Middlesex, demanded to ask , the She riffs a question before the meeting proceeded further.— (Cries of " Order, order."), Mr. Under-Sheriff WlRE•said the gentleman.must not interrupt the order of the proceedings. He had no doubt he would be heard at the proper time.—(Hear, hear.) The PERSON thus addressed insisted on being heard then, for that was the proper time to draw the attention of the authorities to the circumstance of which he corn plained.—(Cries of " Order, order.") He observed that a great number of police were scattered throughout the meeting, which he regarded as the first introduction of the - Cfagging Bill.—(Great uproar and cries of " Out with the police," " Nu Gagging Bill.") A GENTLEMAN on the balcony said it was shameful to introduce a body of police-constables into a meeting so convened.—(Cheers.) It was the duty of the Sheriff's to see that it was a free meeting, and a free expression of opinion on the part of the freeholders of Middlesex.— (Cheers, and renewed cries of "Put with the police," " Turn them out," " No Gagging Bill.") Here the Sheriffs consulted for a short time with Mr. Armstrong, the magistrate, and several of the gentlemen around 'them, after which Mr. Sheriff CUBITT, addressing the meeting, asked, "Is it your pleasure that we should go on with the business?—(Cries of "Yes, yes," "No, no," and " Turn out the police.") I see no earthly reason why you should feel annoyed merely because there happens to be some policemen mingled amongst you.—(Tremendous uproar, and renewed cries of " Out with the police," " No spies," " Do you call this an Englishman's liberty ?" &c.) Why, if' this meeting was held at Brentford, or in any of the public squares, you would not object to the presence of the police."—(" That's a different thing," and renewed uproar.) Here the Sheriffs again consulted together, after which Mr. Sheriff CUBITT said.—" Gentlemen, your wishes shall be obeyed.—"( Tremendous cheering and waving of hats and handkerchiefs, which lasted for several minutes.) _ _ A lane was then opened instinctively, and the police men good-humouredly marched out in single file amidst the most uproarious cheering. Mr. SherifE L Cunur then said, that passing over the slight interruption which had just occurred, and which was not of much consequence to any of them.—(Cries of " Oh, oh!" " I beg your pardon!" and renewed cheer ing.) Well, at all events, it was of great importance that order should be preserved, and he hoped they would assist the Sheriff. in doing so.—(Cheers, and " We will, we will!") He trusted they would give every gentleman who wished to address them a fair hearing.—(Cheers.) Ile would now proceed to read two or three letters which he had received; and, first, he would read one which bore the joint signatures of Lord Dudley Stuart and Sir Benjamin Hall.—(Cries of " We don't want to hear them!") Mr. Under-Sheriff WIRE then read the following:— "St. James's•place, May 17, 1848. " Sir,—Having been invited to attend the meeting to be held this day, we desire to express our regret that we are obliged to be preseus in the douse of Commons at twelve o' clock, on the second reading of a Bill, intro duced by Sir De Lacy Evans and Sir Benjamin Hall, having for its object the amendment of the rate-paying clauses of the Reform Act.—(Cries of "It's no use," •It's too late.") " If the debate and the division upon the Bill should terminate early, we shall be happy to come to the meet ing ; but in the event of our being prevented doing so, we beg to assure the electors of Middlesex and the me tropoiitan boroughs that we shall continue to use our hest endeavours to remove the grievances arising from inequality of taxation, to r e d uce the pub li c e xpenditure, and to promte a full and efficient reform in the repre entation of the people.

Then, with regard to Earl Grey—the Noble Earl stated, on introducing the measure to the house of Lords, " that " its great object was to secure to the people of this country c he ap a ndgood government."_ (Great laughter.) It was of great importance that they should particularly inquire in to this promise made b y the Noble Earl, for he (Mr. Williams) would beg to tell them that, as tar as any foundation had been laid for a salutary change in the well-being or comforts of the working classes, they were now worse off than ever ' they were before.—(Hear, hear, , 'The people are starving 'Y a ' lie would now show th em how far Earl Grey's .

They should each—the middle and the labouring classes —give and take a little: The working man required the franchise to defend his daily toil, which gave value to the rich man's land. To the middleman he would say that it was the industry of the loom, of the - anvil, and of the workshop, that created the property .by whichile was surrounded, and placed him in a state of affluence and wealth. And now he besought them, as they loved their country, and desired to have good government, to moderate their opinions and agree to unite and co-ope rate in obtaining the great common object which they so long had in view—the abolition of class legislation and misgovernment. The Honourable Gentleman concluded amidst loud cheers, by proposing the following resolu tion:— " That in the opinion of this meeting, the Commons 1 House of Parliament, as at present constituted, does not fairly represent the. population, the property, or the industry of the country; that the disclosures made before Committees,of 1835 42, and also during the pre sent session, prove that the return of its Members has been extensively influenced by bribery, corruption, coercion, and intimidation; that the Reform Act has not realised the just expectations of the country; that since the passing of that Act the public expenditure has not only been more extravagant, but has exceeded by many millions sterling the expenditure of the last session of the unreformed Parliament; that the system of taxation. is so contrived as to favour the aristocracy, and to throw the pressure of its buithen unjustly on the industrious classes of the people." Mr. Hum., of Uxbridge, seconded the resolution, and also advised a coalition between the middle and the working classes. If the working man was true to the middle man, the middle :man would be true to him. Whilst France and. Italy advanced, it was impossible that England should stand still.—(Cheers.) The SHERIF! was then about to put the resolution from the chair, when Mr. KYDD, f Chartist Convention celebrity, presented himself, and was received with loud cheers by the meet ing. It wss at first objected to him that he was not an elector or a resident of the county, but the Sheriff good naturedly waived the objection, and he was allowed to proceed. He said he considered he was entitled to at tend the meeting by the very terms of the notice by which it was convened; for the principle they had met to discuss was an universal, and not a local one. He ad • muted that without union between the working and the middle classes it was impossible to obtain good govern ment; but the working man would never cease to agitate until the rights of labour were recognised. He saw FlO - in the resolution which any thinking or reasonable man could disapprove of. The working men of England had no dreams of Utopian equality—no idea of com mon property. They only asked to earn their bread in the sweat of their brow.—(Cheers.) He saw no thing to prevent such a state of things, provi,led ' the Legislature made common cause with the people; but with regard to extensive measures of reform and retrenchment, it was impossible they could hope for such a change until they saw a higher moral tone amongst the aridteeraey.—(lvar, hear.) They must not have myriads of human, beings turned off the land on which they and their forefathers were born, and merely because the aristocracy called that land their own.—(Loud cheers.) It was impossible they could hope for such a change until they saw a practical recog nition of the great truth, that all men were brethren. Atter a moderate and argumentative enforcement of his Charti)t principles, Mr. Kydd concluded by declaring that the aristocrcy must concede the rights of the poor, otherwise there could be no peace in the ball whilst there was wail in the cottage.—(Cheers.) Mr. JOBSO;sT then essayed to address the meeting, but his opening sentences were drowned by shouts of dis happroval of his proceeding. He was at length com • 1 1 pel ed to abandon all attempts to gain a hearing, and withdraw. A Mr. MAY (a Chartist) also attempted to speak, but was obliged to desist. Mr. GEORGE BEACON was more successful, meeting with a good reception from the auditory. He said the House of Commons was composed of 248 sons and re lations of Peers, 143 officers of the navy and army, and 108 persons with Church patronage; and what hope (he asked) was there for the people obtaining either their just rights, or economy and retrenchraent, with a House of Commons thus constituted?—(Cheers.) In the House of Lords, too, there were batches of sinecurists, and admirals, and generals, who received high honours and large salaries, although they had never seen a single shot fired. These were anomalies and abuses loudly demanding reform.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN was then about to put the resolution to the show of hands, when Captai❑ ACKERLEY said he claimed the right to be heard.—(Loud cries of " No, no," and laughter, which silenced: the Captain for the time being, and the reso lution was passed without a second dissentient voice being raised against it.) Mr. J. HUME, M.P., next advanced to address the assembly, and was received with shouts of applause. He said he was sure that neither in the House of Peers nor in the House of Commons could be found men who could better state their views, or enforce their arguments than Mr. Ky dd that day had done, or than many other members of the working classes whom he (Mr. Hume) could name could du ; and was it fair or just that such intelligent, honest, and industrious individuals should nut only be unrepresented in the House of Commons. but be disqualified from occupying a seat in that House? --(Cheers.) Mr. Williams had pointed out the evils necessarily flowing from class-legislation, and he (Mr. Hume) was sure they were all convinced of those evils. No man possessed of common sense could fail to recognise their existence.—(Loud cheers.) He would tell them why he had reqiiiisted the Sheriffs to coavene that meeting. Sixteen years ago he attended, in that hall, the last meeting which took place prior to the passing of the Reform Bill ; and many might recollect that the watchword of " The . Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing' but the Bill," which was given him (Mr. Hume) in the House of Com mons, on the first night of the proposition, served :to rally together all the friends of reform, and enabled them to carry out what he (Mr. Hume) called a great mea sure, considering the situation in which this country was then placed. The people had been completely at the mercy of the aristocracy. Their few friends in the Reuse of Commons had their hail& altogether tied up. The middle classes had no power, through an abuse ot our ancient practice (fOr the theory of our constitution was that all classes should be represented).—(Cheers.) The result of the Reform Bill was, that the power of good government, the power of electing their represen tatives in Parliament, was virtually lodged in the hands of the middle classes, who, if they,would but perform their duty to the working classes no less than to them selves (for the interests of both these classes were iden tical —if the one suffered, the other invariably suffered also), they could now, from their vantage ground, effect those other reforms to which he looked as the true and only substantial means of maintaining public order, of preserving peace, of effecting retrenchment and equal taxation, and securing the comfort, contentment, and happiness of the entire community.—(Loud cheers.) Abuses had, however, crept in, and misgovernment yet prevailed; and what they wanted was swill reforms as would make the interests of all classes to be equally consulted.—(Hear, hear.) True Conservatism was to remove the sources of discontent, to abolish unequal laws, and to give the labouring man full value for his capital, while we protect the accumulated wealth of the rich.—(Cheers.) The corn-laws had defrauded labour of its due reward, and free trade would raise profits on the one hand, and wages on the other, when it was fully carried out, and had had a fair trial. With the view of preventing a recurrence of tha evils of class legislation, and for the purpose of putting an end to the efforts of one great class to keep another down, he (Mr. Hume) and a number of other Members of the House ot Commons, had combined and conferred t . og d eth t e h r at up i o s n . a plan of operations. He was not . surprise . el content prevailed when the inte h llig n ept adman w as men who were denied the elective franchise; when and their willing to work to support fami lies without the aid cf the poorhouse, when thousands t e? hem ho s use, but could find AO employment for their hone st millions i were suffering • were rolling in wealth, whi le (Cheers.)

They must have the public voice—the voice of electors and non electors, too, raieed in tones of thunder in their favour, that it might be at once seen and estimated what their desires and determinations were, and there was no fear but they would speedily obtain the changes which they willed .—(Loud cheers.) Already Birmingham, i Leicester, Manchester, and almost every large eon- sti tuency throughout the empire, had declared itself in favour of the movement; and he also be lieved that that meeting would demonstrate to those who had hitherto been blind and deaf to public opinion, that. to the people must be conceded their just rights and their real patrimony.—(Loud cheers.) Their mode of agitation must be orderly and peaceable. The events passing in other countries proved the fact that the poorer classes were the greatest sufferers by a breach of public order and tranquillity; but the people must do their duty out of doors, and he would promise them that their true friends in the Legislature would do theirs, if they ever expected to obtain either a reduction or equalisation of taxation. On this ground he appealed for toe assistance of the people in obtaining these inva luable boons.—(Loud cheers, and a voice, " We mean to obtain them.") But they had great difficulties to contend vier© ilso,liteahpolaidelloefatr with. Wealth and riches, bribery and corruption, pos sessed the citadel, and were formidable antagonists. Prudence and discretion, peace and order, unity and determination could alone secure the triumph of the th n r d oug ai h m th people's cause. He (Mr. Hume) visa a Radical Ro the power , and to f ormer, ..and,. had twenty years ago maintained that every man ought to be represented. He still masses of the people,—(gear, held that taxation and representation, where they about them a . could be brought to act together, were the true principles of the British constitution ,(Loud cheers) Irish. —and if the reforms he now suggested should be athought too limited,' he would tell them that his desire N . e first of-these was the ex tension Hume) let m a ekwiefasth they yo instrumentalitymo only ye chose a of tbreach,haae honestlywah nad now ocaawr ry exercisereform i possessed t, common cause with the übrepresented. of the franchrse.... this subject present movement, n that there could be no diffi cultyhad a right a s elected ; then why burgesstoul to elect was qualified to be Members 2 (Hear.) quired of English • However, this was Tor instance, a r o p eerihntry, Scotland f r ico . o)uutari laSipoints" npaanb, be who trh o heo t : extension Hume) Wa • ' no on s not acting up . te his e say that he (Mr. at the point he did' it was useles s principles by stopping point to which _be could carry to go further than the opinion to secure success. 0 1 c 8 9fficient force of public necessary in order to attain the i e lt on was absolutely must be carried by conviction, and ject in view ; for it The extension of the franchise pr not by physical force. would put 3,000,000 or 4,ooo,Ptstd_to this meeting and if we could not go the length that n all Ihe register ; let us carry that which ,would eventually aw• would wish, (Hear.)

This was an essential article, :and the man who would not vote aright in Parliament upon this, did not honestly mean to deal fairly with the people.—(Hear, hear.) Now, these four points might be carried by means of the present constituency, properly instructed upon the subject, and no one could tay how soon there would be a new Parliament called.—(Hear.) Let each Reformer give up a part of his extreme views, and we should soon see a new Reform Bill—a new charter of our liberties. (Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving the second resolution : "That to secure the stability of the throne, public order, and contentment, the constitutional rights of the people, equalization of taxation, economy of the public expenditure, just laws, and good government, it is in dispensable that the elective franchise should be ex tended to all men who are registered as residents for a limited time—(A Voice—' How long?' Mr. W. D. Cooper—' Six months')—that the duration of Parlia ments should not exceed three years; that votes should be taken by ballot; and that there should be a more equal apportionment of Members to population." Sergeant GAZZLEE seconded the resolution in a speech which, as indicating moderate views, gave great offence to the Chartists, and renewed the uproar, which had ceased during Mr. Hume's address. Captain ACKERLEY again renewed his interpeliations, and with fresh energy called upon the chairman to give Lima hearing. Mr. ERNEST JONES spoke next, and his observations were received with reiterated applause. He refused to recognise a union between the ultra party, to whom he belonged, and the more moderate Reformers, txcept upo.t the ba,fs of the People's Charter. Ile, however. declined to frustrate the objects of the meeting by pro posing an amendment. Mr. COOK EVANS moved the following amendment, which he supported at some length. His observations were listened to with attention, but with only partial acquiescence. The anienoment was, that the property qualification of Members should be abolished; that the duration of Parliament should be limited to three years; that the elective franchise should be extended to all householders and occupiers of apartments paying rent at the rate of 61. per annum; and that Parliamentary dia. tricts should be equalized. Mr. Hetherington, Mr. Spur, Mr. Vernon, Mr. May, Mr. Harding, and Mr. B. O'Brien, then addressed th e meeting amist the greatest uproar and disorder. Many more were desirous of speaking, and in point of tact there was scarcely one person on the platform who was not struck with the most trireme desire to make his opinions known, and who did not overwhelm the unfortunate Sheriffs with noisy hu N b v b h u o b ran Captain aws A y c o k n e r 1 they'htec,onwshpeicnuomurs.. applications to be heard. In the midst of the 6 voicell h? '' was said m s O'Brien rose to speak. Mr. Spur spoke figuratively of storming the House of Commons, on which the Captain roared out, " No, no, Sir, not storm the House, that would be a breach of the peace." Altogether a more disgraceful scene of confusion and senseless clamour is seloom witnessed in the metropolis, and if often repeated would tend more than anything else to degrade the popular cause and frustrate the efforts of those who seek to place the representation of the country upon an en larged basis. The Hon. Mr. DENMAN could not see so large a num ber of his fellow-subjects thus excited without suggest. ing whether they might not, after all, be agitating for what would be of no real benefit to them.—(•' No, no," and groans.) Wh y s h ou ld t h ey refuse what was offered them in a legal and constitutional way ?—(" Oh, oh :7) Let those who cried out for the franchise, remember that they would be subject to the obligation of serving on juries. — (Loud:laughter.) But even persons qualified to serve on juries did not all possess the franchise. Why not begin at the beginning, and endeavour to give it to these, and, in counties, to 201. leaseholders ? (" Oh, oh !" and great disorder, which made it impos ,ible for Mr. Denman to proceed further with his ad dress.) The question was then put on Mr. Cook Evani's amendment. In the confusion, not a tenth of the meet ing voted; but the amendment was lost. Mr. HOME then said—Before the other amendmOit is put I wish to have it clearly understood that I do not at all differ from its statement—(Cheers)—but I have proposed my resolution as the means of uniting all classes of Reformers as against those who refuse reform. —(Cheers.) What has stopped reform for these ten years ? A certain number of men bringing forward an impoisible proposition—(No, no)—yes, impossible ! in present circumstances. —(Hear, hear.) If you wish to preserve peace and order, and to obta►n reform, do not , reject the offer that is made you. If you are determined to stop all reform,and remain as you are, then adopt this amendment.—(N o , no.) If you wish to go on as practi- cal men, then support us, who will help you.—(Hear.) That is the condition we are in; now decide as you think best.—(Uproar.) Mr. Kydd's amendment was then put, and a very con siderable number of hands were held up for it; Mr. Hume's resolution was put as the alternative, and the number held up for it being larger, though not very much larger, the Sheriff declared the amendment lost, and the resolution carried. Several persons demanded to have the question put again, and exclaimed that some persons had held up both hands; but the outcry was put an end to by Mr. W. D. COOPER moving, and MT. HETHERINGTON seconding a petitioa to both Houses of Parliament, to be signed by the Sheriff, and to be framed upon the resolu tions. This motion was carried by a decided majority. , A vote of thanks to the Sheriff was then passed , An d the proceedings terminated soon after five o'clock. EXETER HALL. Handel's oratorio Jephlha was performed last evening by the members of Mr. Hash's first upper school, for the second and last time. The principal vocal performers were the Misses Williams, Miss Duval, Miss Stewart, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Mr. H. Phillips. Having previously criticised the erform ance of this splendid orat orio by the members of Mr. Hullah's singing school, we need only say that the choruses were executed with great precision and t as t e , and were well deserving the loud and frequent applause bestowed upon them. As regards the artists to whom the solo pieces were entrusted, it would be super E er" tion to do more than sa y the y deli g hted the numero us au dience with which the la r g e hall was densely filled.

NEW SOCIETY FOR THE PUBLICATION OP WORKS.
