The question was not to be discussed ..a s one of commercial greatness, or of partizanehip. - With regard, however, to the present meeting, he thought that when they had the letter of the Lord Mayor, stating that the object was under the consideration of the Go vernment, they ought to be satisfied. He 'mkt not hold up nis hand for anything which would seem like dialting to the Government. He was surprised, that after the Lord Maveria communication, propositions would be put forward lin plyine• that the Government were not inclined to take the subject in all its length and breadth. Without at all detracting from what had been said by the Chairman, and by the Gentleman who had first addressed the meet. ing, he must say he had heard nothing which entitled them to dictate to the Government, or to say that the question would not be taken up by them in a fair and manly way. He said this, although as an individual, he was opposed to the existing Government. lie believed that their scheme of emigration would, like most of their measures, be a scheme of mere palliatives. As a p2liitican he was an enemy to Sir Robert Peel.—(Hear.) He find never had tile slightest confidence in him, and had never seen any greatness in him as a statesman. If, however, the Government had been strong enough to say, with regard to measures of relief, and to the Corn-laws, that they should be postponed for three months, they might expect that in all rationality they would : meet such questions like men. He thought, therefore that they should not interfere with the Government on this ques tion. lie believed that the subject was one which ()Mild net be treated with too much solemnity. To provide means of employment somewhere—whether in our °lin land or in the colonies, was a question of profound mo ment—seemed to be the only remedy for the distreta of the people. He looked upon all the affliction which had come upon the country as the result of their diem gard of the religion which they professed, and is in tended to teach them that there was no redemptio`a..for nations but in simple obedience to the revealed will bf Heaven. Tile CHAIRMAN said he must remind the Gendemta. who had just spoken that the meeting was not asse**l for any party or political object, and it had no reference either to Sir Robert Peel or to. Lord joha (Hear, hear.) Aso the charge of dictating to the Go vernment it. was libriheie ; province as Englishmen .to dictate ; they came there only to express their opinions, and he hoped the Gentleman would withdraw that ex pression. Mr. BROOKES saida few words in explanation. Mr. WATSON said he distinctly disclaimed, both- for ~ himself and the requisitionists in general, any intention to dictate to the Government.—(Hear, hear.ljlnt Dv' thratert - th'at' the tinie had arrived iiil74filatiOtt shop kl be taken up by the Government of this country, and when they, as members of society who felt for the people in their distress, should respectfully lay before the public their feelings on the subject, and the remedy which they thought it mos t d es i ra bl e to apply. Suc h conduct amounted to nothing like dictation.—(Hear.) He quite concurred in the observation which had been made, that the subject could only be taken up effectually by the Government. It was exceedingly important, he thought, tha it should be taken up as a Government question, that where a party was compelled to emigrate facilities might be afforded them for choosing east, 'west, north, or south. It was exceedingly important to this country that the able-bodied labourer should not be in duced to go to a foreign country.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Let them open the door to our beautiful eolonies, and invite the people to go where they would ha 4 - the benefits and protection of British commerce and British laws. He had reason to believe from letters which he had seen on the subject that numbers who had emigrated to the United States of America, were unable there to obtain that full employment which was so easily pro cured in Canada, and other colonies of England; He hoped that this fact would be made known to the work ing classes generally.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CLARK wished to observe, that he entirely ap proved of the objects of the meeting. He had formerly been a party to sending many thousands to our colonies; and he believed that, with few exceptions, they had all benefited by the change. That was a reason why he was anxious to join in the present movement in favour of emigration. We had now arrived at a state of mendicity in our rural and manufacturing districts, and it was of the utmost importance that ems' gration should be taken up as a national measure. We would by this means benefit ourselves, and create new markets for our manufactured productions. He hoped that, considering the importance of the subject, the Lord Mayor would be induced to re-consider his reso lution. Mr. HINTON then proposed the following resolution " That a Committee be now appointed to wait !von the Lord Mayor, and to solicit his Lordship to convene a public meeting, to take into consideration the necessity of emigration to the British Colonies as a relief for the distress now afflicting a large portion of the inhabitants of the United Kingdon ; or, in the event of the Lora Mayor declining, that the Committee may take . sucia other measures as they may deem advisable for proinot ing the objects of this meeting." He (Mr. Hinton) felt that this was the best to give practical effect to their wishes. Mr. BURT seconded the resolution, which was put and agreed to. In reply to a question from a Mr. Carpenter , . the CHAIRMAN stated that it was intended to submit the re solutions which had been circulated, and which had been alluded to during the meeting, to any meeting which the Lord Mayor might convene on the subject of emigration. Mr. CARPENTER stated, that his object in asking the question, was to state, that if it went forth from that meeting that it was intended at any public meeting .to be held ' on the question by the citizens of London, it should be recommended to have a parliamentary or paro chial rate levied for the purpose of carrying out this great scheme of emigration, such would go far towards defeating those beneficial objects which the originators of the present meeting had in view. He was sure, at all events, they would agree with him, that any recommendation to have a parliamentary or parochial tax levied in the present state of things in this country, for the purpose of carrying out even a be nevolent scheme would raise up enemies on all 'sides, who would, under other circumstances, be ready to carry out the objects now sought to be attained. It would be far better merely to press upon the Go' vernment the necessity of adopting some scheme for promoting the permanent welfare of our surplus population. After some few further remarks, Mr. Car penter concluded his observations. several gentlemen present then gave in their names for the purpose of forming a Committee with the object in view already mentioned, and the meeting separated. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1841. EMIGRATION. A public meeting was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of adopting such measures as might seem necessary to carry into effect the intention of the persons who had signed a re quisition to the Lord Mayor, to convene a meeting on the subject of a National, or Government Scheme of Emigration. At two o'clock Mr. CRAWFORD having intimated to the meeting that the Gentleman who had been expected to take the chair had not then arrived, proposed that Mr. Montgomery Martin should preside instead. The motion having passed nem con, Mr. Montgomery Martin accordingly took the chair. Mr.CRAWFORD again came forward and said—Having taken an active part in getting up the requisition to the Lord Mayor to convene a meeting of the citizens of Lon don to express their sentiments on the important sub ject of emigration, as the great means of relief for the hundreds and ehousands of our unemployed fellow coun trymen in various parti of the kingdom, and at the same time as a means of relief for the distress existing in almost every one of the British colonies from, the want of labour—the want of that which in this country we had in excess—having taken an active part in getting up that requisition, the duty devolved upon him of now stating the reasons which had prompted those from whom it emanated. He wished to be as full and unreserved in his statement as possible, in order that there might be no misapprehension, no misconstruction, and no misrepre sentation on the subject. The meeting was aware that six weeks no a pAhlio,augetiul was held in that very room, at *MCI Mr. Skeriff •rs presided, and at_ which a deputation from his (~ r. Crawford's) native town of Paisley, attended; and stated the fearful destitu tion existing among the operative population of that town, in consequence of the want of employment. An appeal was then made to the charitable and benevo lent feelings of the wealthy citizens of London for a public .subscription on behalf of his unemployed and btittne townsmen_ That appeal was not made in va i n . ove 4,000 L had been subscribed in London in aid of the Paisley Operative Relief Fund. Munificent, how ever, as that subscription was, it bad been found quite inadequate to relieve the distress existing in Paisley. Since the deputation was in London the number re ceiving relief from the fund had increased from -be twixt 4,000 and 5,000 to the fearful amount of 11,000, being a fourth part of the whole population of Paisley, according to the last census. Eleven thousand of our fellow-countrymen and fellow-Christians, not idle and dissolute persons, but honest, industrious, well-be haved, moral, and religious members of society, were reduced to such a state of destitution as to b. entirely dependent upon, and kept alive by, a relief fund, doled out to them at the miserable rate of Qd. per day.— (Hear, hear.) Was such a state of things to be allowed to continue ? Was nothing to be done for the permanent relief of these people ? Were those who were devising means for their permanent welfare less patriotic and less true than those who were directing their attention ex clusively to relieving their present wants 2—(Hear, hear.) As to a permanent plan of relief, many things had been suggested. But it appeared to him, to those who had signed the requisition and to thousands be sides, that of all the plans which had been suggested, that which would create ample facilities to enable our unemployed fellow -countrymen to obtain a subsistence by means of their lawful industry, which should create facilities to enable them to go to the British Colonial possessions, where there was a certainty of their being employed, and earning a comfortable subsistence, would be the most obvious, the easiest, the most practical, and the most effectual of all. There were many tender-hearted sentimentalists who exclaimed, "0, what a hardship, what a cruelty, and what a tyranny, to compel people to leave their country ! to drive them from their homes !" (Hear, and a laugh.) Now he was not aware that those who wished the British Legislature to form a national scheme of emigration for a moment contemplated either compelling people to leave their country, or driving them from their homes !—(Hear, hear.) If it were a hardship for persons to leave a locality where they could not obtain a subsistence, to proceed to another where they could, that hardship had existed, did exist, and would exist, independent of any law which the British or any other Legislature might enact.—(Hear, hear.) It was the law of nature, it was the law of God, first an nounced when he gave the commandment to our first parents to increase and multiply, to replenish the earth and to subdue it. It was a law which had been in operation from the beginning of the world, as everyone who knew anything of the history of the humane family must be aware. It had been in operation at the time when Abraham said to Lot, "Go you to the right hand and I to the left, so that there may be no strife between thee and me, and that we, and our wives, and our children, and our servants, and our flocks and herds, may have room and forage enough, and plenty to spare, in place of our continually quarrelling when we meet together for a scanty subsistence !" The same law was in operation in our day among the High landers of Scotland, who emigrated to the lowlands, and crowded the manufacturing towns—it was in operation among the hordes of Irishmen who left their native country, that eicina gentiurn, and inundated England, lowering tbbatandard of wages for the English labourer by their numbers and their distresed condition, and driving the inhabitants of Great Britain in their turn to seek a sub sistence elsewhere.—(Hear, hear.) That law was in operation among those crowds who flocked daily into this mighty City, leaving their homes in every part of the empire is search of the means of existence—it was in operation among the 40,000 who emi grated annually to America, among the 20,000 who emigrated to Canada, and the 20,000 who emigrated to the Australian Colonies. It was a law which, if they were to examine the subject minutely, they would find was at the bottom of the invasion of Great Britain by the Romans. But England had since that period under gone a mighty change. Her own population now over flowing—she had become the Mistress of the world, and the Queen of nations. The same law was at the bottom of the invasion of England by the Saxons and the Normans, by whom England was colonised, and by whom the mighty superstructions of her society had been laid. He begged leave to add, that whatever Englishmen might think of emigration, in his country — in Scotland—it was not looked upon as a hardship. At this moment there were in Paisley a large number of families resolved upon emigrating to Canada, to Port Philip, and Sydney. These parties had formed a so ciety, and on learning that he (Mr. Crawford) was on his way to London, they had requested him to en deavour to raise funds among the charitable in the metropolis, for the purpose of enabling them to carry out their intentions. He had applied to Mr. P. Maxwell Stewart and Mr. Hastie to assist him in his exertions in the cause; but they declined to interfere, stating that they felt bound in the first instance to direct all their energies towards the relief of those who were suffering from immediate want. It then occurred to him that it would be advisable to open two subscription lists, one for the names of those who were ready to assist emigrants, and the other for the names of those who wished to re- lieve the distressed generally. He was advised, however, not to mention the subject of emigration at all, as it might interfere with the other object he had in view ; and that advice he had thought it advisable to follow. A number of gentlemen, however, to whom he had spoken on the subject highly approved of the deter mination of his fellow-townsmen to emigrate, and ex pressed their determination to give them every assistance in their power. A number of resolutions were after wards drawn up for the purpose of being submitted to a public meeting. But in the meantime certain gentle men in the City connected with New South 'Wales had convened a meeting at the Jerusalem Coffee-house, and at that meeting a Committee was appointed specially for the purpose of preparing a requisition to be presented to the Lord Mayor, with a view to call upon her Majesty's Government to promote emigration to New South Wales. Such a proceeding, however, was considered rather ex clusive upon the part of those gentlemen, and it was re solved that a meeting should be held for the purpose of promoting emigration to the British Colonies gener a lly. —(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Crawford) had accordingly addressed a letter to the Lord Mayor, praying for his co-operation in carrying out their views. To that letter his Lordship had returned the following answer : " SIR—I am commanded by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor to acknowledge the receipt of your communica tion of the 11th inst., enclosing the copy of a proposed requisition to his Lordship to call a public meeting, to take into consideration the necessity of Government adopting measures for promoting emigration on a large national scale, as an effectual means of relief both to the colonies and the mother country. "I have his Lordship's directions to state in reply, that as he understands the whole subject is now under the re view of her Majesty's Cabinet, he does not feel himself at liberty, by complying with any such requisition, to anticipate in any way the course which they shall think proper to adopt, but that as soon as those intentions shall be known, his Lordship will act with energy and promp titude in whatever way he shall deem advisable for the in terests of the community which he has the honour to repre sent. " I have the honour to be, &c., " Mansion-house, Nor. 12. "JAS. YOUNG." Now ho (Mr. Crawford) had the highest respect for the Lord Mayor. He was a Scotchman, and one who did honour to Scotland by his talents and integrity ; but with great deference to his Lordship, he begged leave to say, that a public meeting, such as had been pro posed, could not in any way interfere with or embarrass the Government. In his (Mr. Crawford's) belief nothing could be so wellcalculated to inspire her Majesty's Govern l i - ment with confidence in the proposed undertaking than to find that they were supported by public opinion. Notwithstanding the rather discouraging letter of the Lord Mayor, they had persevered.—(Hear, hear.) He regietted to be obliged to add that they h a d received no support from those quarters from vl hieli they had most reason to expect it—from the bankers and mer chants of the City. Still, however, the requisition was signed by upwards of 120 gentlemen ; and in his (Mr. Crawford s)' opinion, the Lo r d M ayor ' was too much impressed with the importance of the case— too much aware of the honour which a successful attempt to promote emigration would confer on his Mayoralty— to refuse even now the prayer of any requisition on the subject which might be presented to him. Already much good had been done. The requisition and the re solutions had been published in the Newspapers, and the project had received the almost unanimous support and advocacy of the public Press, not only in London but throughout the provinces. These were very gratifying PRICE 5d circumstance:, and he hoped they would encourage the friends of the undertaking to persevere in their efforts. The CHAIRMAN then said that the requisition which he held in his hand was signed by 150 gentleinan, many of whom were of the highest respectability, and all of circumstances national importance them person s o f suc h stand i ng in society, as entitled frompo prtanc their wish es t o consideration. He regretted to find that e a t s :need of by such any deep many of thos e gent l emen were not then present ; but the subject be deterred w r e es t si h n a g t those who were favourabl e t o sc h eme o f em i gration should not their views. His opinion was, that without interfering with the efforts of individuals in favour of their respec tive colonies, the subject should be taken up by the gen tlemen in the manner best calculated to promote emigration generally.ltwas a great mistake to suppose that the iptestion was one ofisolated or minor importance. It was merely ne cessary to state a few facts in order to point out its mag nitude. The recent census showed that the population of England had doubled since the conuuencement of the present century; and that every du one thousand more persons were born than died. NN, some provision should be made for these constantly augmenting numbers, They had an addition of one thousand a day to the popu lation, and they had no correspondingly increasing sur face in their islands which they might occupy. They should, therefore, sooner or later, find room in which this increased surplus population might disseminate themselves. But where would they find that room ? Was it in Great Britain? Why, every year fifty thousand of the industrious inhabitants of this country 'were:, : expatriating themselves to the United. Stater.:.. k.ut the,Etiglishi empire *itself ex tended over the whole earth. _ In every part of the globe were to be found the English flag, the English language, and English laws ; and it was the duty of Government to give a tendency to the tide of emigration to our own colo nies. The extent of the British empire was not generally known. It comprised 2,250;000 square miles, which were equal to 250,000,000 of acres. Now it should be remem bered that iu this kingdom there were 300 mouths to the square mil e.._, while ill many of oor colonies there was not one - motiff to the square mile ; and it would be desirable that our surplus population should migrate to regions so thinly peopled. In Australia there was but one and a-half mouth to each square mile, and but three mouths to the square mile in Canada. Under these cir cumstances common sense indicated that they ought to bridge over the Atlantic, that their overflhwing popula tion might there find independence and a borne. It was contended that the colonies were an expense to the mo ther country, but many gentlemen would perhaps feel surprised when he stated that the whole expense of the British Government for its colonies amounted to no more than 228,000/. a year. What did the colonies contribute in return ? The revenue derived from the British possessions abroad amounted to 23,000,000/. per annum. Besides the commerce of their colonies was 55,000,0001. per annum, and of that sum 25,000,000/. was directly exchanged with the mother country. He need not remind mercantile men that the commerce thus carried on was so much profit to the whole empire ; while the commerce carried on between England and New York went one-half to this country, and the other half to the United States. Those colonies added materially more to our physical strength. The regular troops they employed amounted to 156,000 men, and their militia to 240,000 men-at arms. People were accustomed to talk of the colonies as if they were a drain upon the mother country, or an offshoot, or a scion unworthy of consideration ; but such an idea was a gross misapprehension. The tonnage of the ships entered inwards and outwards to the British colonies amounted to 7,500,000 ; and the property created in those colonies amounted to 387,000/. a-year. But whatever was the present value of those Colonies t o th e mo th er country, that value might be still further increased by a well-con sidered scheme of emigration, while a relief would be af forded to thousands who could not obtain a subsistence at home. The people of this country had markets beyond the control of the foreigner, and they bad an increasing supply of the raw materials for manufactures continually re turning to this country. In Australia alone they had ' the woollen farm of the world. A few years ago that country exported but a half dozen bales of wool. The present amount of its woollen exports was 12,000,0001b5. annually. In Australia, in Canada, in South America, in Africa, and in almost every country in the world we had colonies capable of being made available to relieve the pressing wants of the surplus population of the mother country; and he (Mr. Martin) trusted, therefore, that the Lord Mayor would comply with the wishes of the present meeting, and convene a public meeting, in order that an impulse might be given to her Majesty's Go vernment which should be beneficial to the great cause that they now advocated. It was no matter what the Government might, or might not, intend on the subject ; it was the duty of all good citizens to urge upon it the force of public opinion. It was not a question of party strife or politics. As far as it was concerned, they were not to care whether it was Lord J. Russell or Sir R. Peel who conducted the Government of the country ; but it was their boundea duty, as citizens of a free State, to make known to Ministers so important a grievance of the coun try as this was, and to entreat them to take it into their fullest consideration. With regard to himself, he was not connected with any' particular colony. lie felt it his . duty to attend there on the present occasion, and he did so accordingly. lie could have wished that some one of the several influential gen tlemen whom he saw present had been induced to take the chair. He had no desire to do so himself, but as he had been proposed, and the meeting seemed to approve, he had been desirous to accede to their wishes. He trusted, however, that some of those gentlemen would come forward to form a Committee, with the view of waiting on the Lord Mayor to request his Lordship to convene a public meeting, for the pur pose of considering the question irrespective of party prejudices. Dlr. NATHANIEL CLARK wished to hear the Lord Mayor's letter again read, as he was apprehensive of his not having caught its purport accurately. The CHAIRMAN having read the letter, Mr. CLARK observed, that it appeared to him that they were placed by that letter in a dilemma, which he could not explain how they could get out of. They seemed to him to be precluded by it from addressing his Lordship on the subject. However, if the meeting thought otherwise, he would not offer any dissent. With the opinion expressed by the Lord Mayor, he dissented. He concurred with the Chairman that the respec tability of such a meeting as the present ought to be brought,to bear upon the matter. lie was sure that if they unanimously agreed to ask an interview with his Lordship the latter would forego so much of his opinion as should induce him to grant to the citizens of this great metropolis an opportunity of expressing, without bias against Ministers or otherwise, their opinions on a ques tion which involved the best interests of the country. He (Mr. Clark) had read certain resolutions which had been generally circulated, and which it was intended to propose at a public meeting to be convened on the subject by the Lord Mayor, should his Lordship consent so to do. With the general scope of those resolutions he concurred, but there was one, from a part of which he dissented, (Mr. Clark then read the portion of the resolu tion to which he referred, and which called on the public to contribute to a general fund for the assistance of emi grants; instead of which, he meant to propose that a national or parochial rate should be levied for that pur pose.) In case the Lord Mayor should convene a meeting on the subject, he meant to urge that point on its con sideration, unless he found that it was not generally concurred in. He deprecated their calling in eleemosynary aid to the carrying out of any great na tional work, such as the question which had brought them together to-day. • Mr. CRAWFORD concurred in the opinions expressed by Mr. Clark. Mr. MANDE:as bore testimony, as far as his experience went, to the benefits derivable from a well-conducted scheme of emigration being set on foot, and instanced the Childress' Friend Society, which the press had knocked on the head, but which had had its efforts in behalf of poor children, which they had sent out to the colonies, attended with the most happy results. native oklei sdhi n exile, vain ell.stiiigMr. J. ROGERS said he had had an opportunity, with in the present year, of witnessing the distress both in Paisley and in several parts of Ireland. re gretted that the Gentleman who made the opening speeche and and Eng of the meeting, had suffered a selfish fee ling topclaocne: fine his charitable views to his own a nd had not extended them to Irel d thceo Irishuntry l ' ab b o u u t rer looked land.

Mr. Rogers then in the west of Irelan d the distress he witnessed expressed his approba tion and in Paisley, and great national scheme of the plan of a of emigration being established. He -believed that i f Mayorof London the Lord were to lead the way, allthe corporations in the United King dom would come forward to assist, the ir • and united force on the House of Commons w o u ld be irresistible. — (Hear, hear.) The Lord Mayor of London was always a man of great i m p or t ance an d ex t e nsive influence, but the present one had such an intimate acquaintance with shipping c and commerce in general, and such a character " Philanthropy, that whatever came from him must have a great influence upon the country at. large. He entirely agreed that anything like a public subscription would fail, or would be inadequate to the demand. — (Hear, hear.) Her Majesty's provinces of Upper and Lower Canada would he much improved by the addition of two millions of inhabitants, and to emigrants them selves .the advantage would be great and lasting. Mr. BROOKES said the gentleman who had just spoken had adverted to the fact that ten persons had been found living in a room eighteen feet square. He could state from his own knowledge, that in a parish within a short distance six or eight persons had occupied a room ten or twelve feet square within the last month. He had him self seen persons inhabiting places which he would have thought it impossible to use as a residence. Knowing that large masses of the population were placed in this degraded state, he who did not endeavour to remedy the evil was answerable for the death of every per son who died in consequence.—(Cries or " hear, hear.") rather lower, refined at 535 6d per cwt.

The following letter is from the surgeon of Reading jail : READING, Nov. 28.—0 n the eighth day of Cava nagh's confinement I had good reason to believe that he had taken a portion of the gruel which had been left in his cell, and on careful examination I found that the al lowances for the three or four days previous, which were preserved were much thinner in consistence then when served to him, proving to my entire satisfaction that he had taken a portion of it daily, and had substi tuted for it some water which had been given him to drink, or some fluid which I will not specify, so giving to the vessel which contained it the appearance of not having been disturbed. The peculiar smell which it had acquired confirmed me in my latter suspicion. Had I been aware of this circumstance a day earlier, I should have prevented the publication of the document which appeared in the morning papers of Saturday, in which I stated that I believed he had observed a total abstinence from food and drink during the whole period he had been confined. I believe that notwithstanding the utmost vigilance on my part, and the most scrutinizing care on the part of the turnkeys of the prison, we have been deceived in this trial, and that Cavanagh has, by some such stratagem as I have mentioned, contrived to consume a small quantity of the gruel daily without exciting suspi cion. That Cavanagh can exist for a limited number of days without food, or with only a very small quantity, I am not disposed to doubt ' • but the possibility that he lives without eating, or that he has not eaten for the last five years and a half, as he asserts, cannot be entertained by sensible and thinking minds, and his assertion may be considered as one of the grossest attempts at imposition that has ever been practised on the credulous portion of the public. . _ It be interesting for medical gentlemen to know that the result of this trial has assured me, beyond a doubt, that Bernard Cavanagh does not possess, as be stated he did, or as is in some measure thought, the slightest constitutional or acquired power of controlling the execretory functions. On the ninth day, notwithstanding the deception he had been detected in practising, Cavanagh was observed to hare become very weak, and to falter in his gait as he walked from the cell to the chapel. His pulse, which during the first days of his confinement had maintained its force, and had continued at about 7& was found to have fallen to 60, and to have become exteedingly lan guid and weak. He looked haggard and worn, and asked anxiously when the medical gentlemen would be satisfied with his powers of abstaining. As he com plained of cold, he was taken down stairs for a short time to warm himself. On the tenth day the appearance of his having taken the food which had been left in the cell, was obvious ; his pulse was at 80, and scarcely perceptible at the wrists ; his hands cold and clammy, and he tottered very much as he walked across the room. In the even ing he was taken down, as usual, to the fire, and in endeavouring to return to his cell he fell down, apparently thoroughly worn out and exhausted by the privations to which he had submitted himself. Being unable to rise, he was taken back to his cell, and supplied with a quan tity of gruel and port wine, and some bread, of which he heartily partook. Taking all the circumstances of this trial into consi deration, I am convinced in my own mind that beyond a power of abstaining from food for a limited period, the result, probably of gradual habituation, the doings of this man are not entitled to much wonder; nor can I think otherwise than that he belongs to a class of im postors who, by their own specious pretensions, continue for a time to excite the curiosity of and deceive the public, and in a degree the medical profession, but who are, under favourable circumstances and ordeals, such as he has undergone, sure to be discovered and unveiled. F. A. BULLEY. THE OXFORD PROFESSORSHIP OF POETRY. As the election of this Professorship of Poetry is now a matter of some little agitation in the " high places" of Oxford, and the necessary qualifications for the vacant Chair seem somewhat matter of dispute, it may not be uninteresting to take a cursory glance at those who for merly filled the office. The Professorship of Poetry for Oxford was founded by Henry Birkhead, a barrister of the Temple, and D.C.L., some time of Trinity, afterward Fellow of All Souls. The Professor is elected by thu Members of Con vocation for fire years, on the expiration of which he may be elected for five more. The Professorship, how ever, in common with all others which are in the gift of the Convocation, cannot be enjoyed by two persons of the same College successively. The following is a list of the Professors, chronologi cally arranged from the foundation of the institution down to the present time : oxFonp PROFESSORS OF POETRY. 170 S-1841. 1708.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity •f unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate th e pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, vvhersin affections of the lung s, putting on all the outer appeara nces o f consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the bock will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, whi c h, for want o f care ful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The. PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation arid responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and than he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London. Country Patients are requested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the usual Consultation Fee of IL, without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all oases, the most inviolable socrecv laay be relied on. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London Mercantile Journal of November 30. ) SUGAR.—In the absence of a public sale of either Bengal or Mauritius, the market remained very firm, and about 350 hhds and trcs West India Muscovado changed hands privately at rather stiffer prices. 100 hhds Bar badoes at public sale went briskly at 6d to is higher than the last auction, viz, low to fine bright yellow at 65s 6d to 73s per cwt. MAuitinus.—There being scarcely a parcel of this description left in the hands of the merchants, we have been without a public sale, and very few transactions have taken place by private treaty. Full last week's prices have been paid. EAST INDIA.—For Foreign East India descriptions there continues to be very little business doing. The merchants reluctantly submit to any further decline. Java at 17s to 17s 6d for good bright yellow, and at 16s to 16s 6d for low and middling yellow. Manilla at 14s 9d for ordinary brown. FOREIGN.—In this market there continues to be very little business doing, but the holders appear less disposed to sell, and purchases cannot now be made except at previous rates. REFINED.—FuII rates have been paid for all sorts. Standard Lumps 80s 6d to 81s per cwt ; Treacle large sales have been made at stiffer rates, 26s to 32s 6d paid. Bastards and pieces at stiffer rates ; the former of fine qualit}• fetches 565, and the latter 76s per cwt. Bonded Crushed at 28s 9d for tho best quality. Hamburgh Loaves at 30s to 32s for 101los and 141 b. Bastards and Pieces made from Foreign Sugar at 18s to 24s ; and Mo lasses at 13s fid to 14s per cot in bond. MoLAssEs.---For West India Molasses, prices have advanced Gd to is per cwt ; fine Demerara at 27s to 28s ; Antigua at 26s fid to 28s ; St. Lucia at 24s to 24s 6d ; and low quality from less esteemed Islands at 23s to 24s per cwt. COFFEE.—The public sales offered 20 casks Jamaica, 50 bales Mocha, and 100 bags East India : Jamaica sold at full rates, ordinary to fine ordinary at 58s to 78s 6d ; Mocha taken in at 100 s for fair yellow ; East India sold at 32s to 41s 6d. TEA.—To-day three public sales were brought for ward, consisting of 4,755 chests, which, as might be expected so soon after the large_ public sales in the early part of last week, went off with much heaviness, pro ducing a further slight depression in prices. In these sales were offered 12 pkgs Japan Tea (all green) packed in jars. These teas excited much attention—they were of choice quality— and at once deznonstrated that Tea may be grown and manipulated in other countries as well as in China : Nos. 1 and 2 fetched at the rate of 30s; No. 3, 255; No. 4,9 s; No. 5,14 s 6d; Nos. 6 and 7, 13s 6d; No. 8,14 s 6d; No. 9, 255; No. 10, 28s; No. 11, 58s; and No. 12, 54s duty paid, reckoning the wild Tea used in the packing at 3s per lb.

N o , no.") lie thought the Court would do well to set it down as a general principle that it was unwise and unreasonable for them to overhaul and re verse any decision that had been conscientiously come to by any of their Committees ; th at was sound com mon seme—(llear, hear) —because all the gentlemen whom they entrusted with their confidence must be supposed to be men of honour, and such as would ex ercise the powers entrusted to them not for the good of any particular candidate, but for that of the Corporation at large.—(llear, hear.) tinder these circumstances he thought the appointment that had taken place should bo ratified.—(blear.) As, however, some feeling seemed to exist among some members of the Court upon the subject, he thought. it would be better to remit the mailer to the consideration of a Committee, formed of gentlemen who were net on the previous Committee, Mr. CURRIE felt no hesitation in acceding to such proposition, but felt bound to oppose the confirmation of the minutes of the Standing Committee. Mr. DaLLas could not see any harm that was likely ' to arise from postponing the matter, and he thou g h t that. the Court should adopt the proposition of Mr, Morris. - Mr. D av iosos asserted that. undue influence had belt used on the Committee in favour o: Wishart.—(" No," )e Mr. MURRAY, with some warmth, denied that any un due influence had been used. . _ _ AiORRIS said his great objection id Me. Wishart was his personal conduct towards an individtiat who was in the same society as himself. What the Corpo i tion wanted was a man upon whom all could place reliance;; and Mr. Wishart's conduct, he thought, did not entitle him to that confidence. He would venture to say, that many Subscribers would not have attended at the election of Wishart, had it not been for the special request of the Secretary that they should do so.—(No, no.) Mr. WALKENSHAV thought. it Was the duty of the Court to sustain the finding of the Committee. After some further conversation, The CHAIRMAN put Mr. Maxwell's motion for the confirmation Of the Report of the Standing Committee, and declared it to be carried, there being 26 hands held up in its favour, and 19 against it. The minutes were then ordered to be confirmed, and Mr. Wishart was called into the room, and sworn in. The Duke of Sutherland was unanimously re-elected President of the Society. The Duke of Argyle was elected one of the Vice- Presidents, in the room of the Marquis of Lothian ; as MR. MORIER'S NEW ORIENTAL WORK. Now ready, in 3 vols., post Bvo., T H M I R Z A.
