JIUMPHREY'S CAMOMILE PILLS. A Preparation of unparalleled success, from this inesti mable plant, recently discovered by Mr. Humphrey. It puri fies and cleanses the blood, strengthens the stomach, invigo rates tie constitution, affords certain and speedy relief to flatulency, loss of appetite, drowsiness, giddiness, nausea, heartburn; and in all cases of indigestion, headache, stomachic, bilious, or nervous affections is unrivalled. Its preparation is personally superintended by Mr. Humphrey, and its immense sale in the locality of his residence is the best proof of its efficacy. A scientific and laborious research for the benefit of a private patient and valued friend led to its discovery ; its wonderful properties induced the Proprietor to extend its salo for the benefit of the afflicted. Without descending to the quackery of saying it is a cure for all disorders, yet the virtues of the camomile are so skil fnlly extracted and combined with other invaluable medica ments, as t• render it the most perfect remedy discovered for the above disorders. _ . Cr Observe the genuine have the Proprietor's name writ ten on the Government stem in his own handwriting.

This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various stages of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct heads' and progressive stages of treatment, viz.:-Ist, The cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic ; and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided. The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare. The invalid suffering under mental depression and decay, impotence, and a host of peculiar and inveterate infirmities, cornprehended under nervous debility, will find this Pocket Manual written expressly for his use, and adapted to his va rious wants.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver tisement will only allow of being published : The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature, and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of thin prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stam The scientific views taken by the p. authors of th e s ource an d origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impres s us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, i ' and to satisfy u that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur- s Ilfrgii.ll:7l mal ad ies thm with to w a hich means flesh of is p heir.—Oldreventings England.omeofthe most Messrs.

We last week ventured to express our opinion that, supposing the Tories to be justified in organizing and maintaining a regular opposition to the Whig Govern ment, they were quite right in declining to pledge them selves on the recent measures of finance, and to make use of their majority acquired by those measures, for the purpose of carrying into effect their former plans of eject ; ing their opponents. But the question still remains behind, how, and on what principle were they justified in forming such an op position, in banding, themselves together to impede and paralyse every act of the Government, and finally throwing into confusion for the best part of a twelve month the public business of the country, for the pur pose of possessing themselves of the Ministerial benches in both Houses of Parliament. This question has two answers—as it concerns Eng land, and as it concerns Ireland. So far as it concerns Ire land, we have touched upon the subject elsewhere. But what answer must we give as regards England? We co•i fess that we have looked through all the great measures of the Whig policy without discerning any tangible objection to them, which the Tories—that is, those of them who are to assume the responsibilities of office—dare to impeach, on principle. Their utmost stretch of animosity carries them no further than to condemn certain measures of Administration, the ability or prudence displayed in cer tain individual acts, without expressing any opposition, vehement or moderate, to their general course of policy. Did Lord Palmerston send out, iii the first instance, sufficiently detailed instructions to our agent in China ? Was he (or was Mr. Balwer) sufficiently courteous to wards the baffled M. Thiers ? Were all the clauses in the Cinada Union Act free from all possible objection ? Was it right in Lord Melbourne to present Mr Owen at Court, in ignorance of the particular tenets of his so cial philosophy ? Was Lord John Russell justified in appointing a Socialist to the office of Registrar of Mar riages at Birmingham ? Was Sir John—now Lord — Campbell in the right—considered in his prophetical character of Attorney-General—publicly to boast of the entire suppresion of Chartism two days before the out break of a rebellion, at which wounds were given and blood shed ? These are the mighty articles of impeach ment which , have .formed the groundwork of the late opposition. Other points, indeed, have been insisted on in the Tory journals, but with little sympathy from.the Tory politicians. Among these the Poor-law stands most prominent ; a law, we readily admit, most unjust and condemnable in principle, and too often in practice ; but yet a law as to which, whatever praise there may be due for it belongs to the Whigs, and for all the blame the Tories are entitled to a full and undiminished moiety. The merit of the Poor-law--a great and overwhelming merit—was this, that it cleansed out an Augean stable of filthy abuse, injurious alike to the rate-payer and the receiver of relief, and beneficial only to rogues and swindlers ; that it introduced order where there had been the foulest chaos ; that it placed the administration of the law under a system of ma nagement, the details of 'which it is at any time easy to correct and amend. It was a gi g antic effort to cure a deadly distemper, which no Tory physician dare approach to lay his finger on. It was a task for Hercules to do what the Whigs have done in this matter. To reform what they have done amiss in the matter is a task for a child in comparison. To act with a little less severity ; to employ the existing labour a little more exten sively; to use the workhouses a little more like alms houses for the decrepit and infirm ; to introduce gra dually the best and most economical mode of labour ; these are changes of great and mighty importance indeed, but yet order, arrangement, method, having been sub stituted by the Whigs for the last de g ree of disorder, they are changes which require rather bowels of mercy, and a reasonable amount of firmness to bring them about, but no great reach of intellect, or display of offi cial courage. The entire merit of the law, then, belongs to the Whigs. The blame, whatever there is evil in the law, belongs to the Tories equally with the Whigs, They We supported it throughout. They have ever welcomed itlis their own House of Lords.'And their leader in the House of Commons has declared himself unable to find a substitute fur it. a fig larger share of blame belongs to them for the detestable hypocrisy with which they have used the unpopularity of the law to servo their ends, while they have done nothing to miti gate its most revolting features. A second Finegtion of principle on which they have been attacked out of doors is the principle of what is called " governing by Commissions," introducing central management, tampering with local institutions, In answer to the charge, we might say that the se , cued Ministers have established the principle of muni pal goverm nent in all the great towns of England and Scotland, and ham against the unbroken strength of the Tory Opposition, ropkeed, as far as they could, the principle of local reproswit4oP4 thr OW virtual Parlia mentary franchise which was the glory of AP PWll.4mes• But we go further ; we say that the first step in this principle of centralization was taken by the author of the Ilfetroperta# ,Ppfice Bill, who, by that successful experi ment, establishetl. t h e principle upon which the Whigs have since endearonsed to 1 .0 i n one or two instances. The author of that Bill W. 44 1 10-sPFP. Peel, the present Tory Prime Minister. As to their Commissions for obtaining idoPTI4O34 mn the condition of the people there is little need to speak. They have done honestly and wisely in appointing these Commissions, There will be little difference, we sus pect, between the two parties on this score, except, per haps, that the Tories will IJo their utmost to turn to account the information which Whig CoininigNions have scraped together, and having this fund of infosmattou in hand, they will have less need to incur the imaginary odium of now Commissions hereafter. On the questism of free trade, for which the Whigs have been so vehemently a ssaulted, the very Tory Pre mier is himself a free tradevr-an enthusiastic disciple of Mr. Huskisson—an unrelenting though ggptipes enemy of all prohibitions upon comMerPe and all PotfiPtiVe monopolies. In other departments of the Government we find the most happy unanimity among the more respectable of the Tory party as to the merits of the Whigs. Just as the Whigs are leaving office, it is discovered that Lord Melbourne, whose name has been the butt of the foulest abuse, whose personal proceedings have fur nished an inexhaustible theme for malignant though clumsy ridicule, and whose vigilant attendance at Wind. sor Castle and Buckingham Palace has given rise to the most rending shrieks from Tory prudery, has all along —on the testimony of the Doke of Wellington--been rendering the most essential service to the country in the most delicate and important of his functions by his sound political education of her Majesty. Just as the Whigs are leaving qffice, the merits of Lord Palmerston's foreign policy, which has steered this country amidst unexampled difficulties and eomplioations, without violating the peace of Europe on the one hand, and, without surrendering one jot of the dignity and honour of the empire pu the other, are suddenly brought to light. Just as the Whigs are leaving office, the extraordinary merits of Lord'Cottenham burst in full blaze upon the dazzled eyesight of his political opponents (as may be seen in an extraordinary article in the Times of yester , day), who are burning with impatience to bestow upon him some token of national recognition. There is no pretence that the Whigs, the strenuous opponents of the Anti-Church-rate agitation, and the authors of that parson-fattening Act which goes by the name of the Tithe Commutation Act, are in any degree hostile to the best interests of the Anglican Church in England. There is no pretence that the temporizing policy of Lord Melbourne is a whit more dangerous to the Church of Scotland than the intrusive policy of Lord Aberdeen. There is no pretence that the great Whig landlords, with their eight-shilling duty, are one iota more adverse to the interests of agriculture than the manufacturing free-trader who is now the Tory Prime Minister ; who will pledge himself as to the mode of protection to be given to agriculture, but not to the amount • and who, we entertain no doubt whatever, if he does substantiallyl reduce the present sliding scale, will, in fact, diminish the protection to agriculture far more than the Whigs are now proposing to do. So far as Great Britain is concerned, there is not the shadow of a pretence for a change of Ministers on any one point of principle. The open opposition of Parlia mentary Toryism has not been an opposition of principle but of detail. The Whiggish unpopularity which has re ference to principle, is an unpopularity which the Tories must inherit when they assume the reins oPGoverninent, unless they are prepared in the basest manner to re nounce the principles which their leaders have hitherto professed and acted on.

On Tuesday evening, August 31st, a public meeting was convened in the Boy's British School-room, in this town, with the view of discussing the injurious effects of the_ Corn-laws, and the benefit which would result from their repeal. The room, although large, was crowded to excess, and great numbers were unable to gain admission. At no time throughout the proceedings, were there less than one thousand persons present. Mr. W. Toiler was unanimusly called to the chair. The CHAIRDLAN, after a neat and apposite speech, called upon the Rev. J. JENKINSON, who rose, and moved the following resolution :—" That this meetinc , considers the existing Corn and Provision Laws, to be unjust in principle, and cruel in their operation, and therefore pledges itself to employ every legitimate means of obtaining their total and immediate repeal." The resolution was then carried unanimously. The Rev. W. RourNsON (who as well as Mr. Jenkin son attended the Anti-Corn-law Conference from this town) next addresred the meeting in an eloquent and uncompromising speech, which we regret we are not able to present to our readers. lie was listened to through out with the most lively interest, and, at intervals, warmly cheered. He declared himself satisfied with nothing less than a total repeal, and concluded by pro posing that the following petition be presented to both Houses of Parliament : The Petition of the Undersigned, being Inhabitants of Kettering, in the County of Northampton,— " SHOWETII—That in the opinion of your Petitioners, one main cause of the distress at present existing in this country, : is to be found in the laws restricting the supply of provisions. That to Your petitioners it seems evident that in a country so limited us the United Kingdom, and with a population increasing at the rate of a thousand a day, a tax on bread is in the highest degree impolitic, is a sin against God, and cruel to the poor ; the more especially as such tax is almost entirely paid, not to the service of the state, but to the landholders. " That your petitioners therefore pray your Honour able House to remove without delay all prohibitory duties on corn and other provisions, and to give entire freedom to trade in all its branches." Mr. ROBERT WALLACE (an extensive farmer in the neighbourhood) seconded and supported the petition, and made some very just and liberal remarks, and de clared himself a total and immediate Repealer. The petition was put from the chair, and carried una nimously. A vote of thanks was then warmly passed to the Rev. W. Robinson and the Rev. J. Jenkinson, for their aid and sympathy in attending the Conference, and a vote of thanks to the chair, and the meeting separated. igoznpnpular the Com - law beenme in this 1114 h. bourhood that there is no person, Whig or Tory, to be found who has the hardihood to defend it publicly. In the course of the proceedings the Chairman read the following statement respecting the Preston Union : In 1836 there were 4,725 individuals on the poor -rate, ana . i4 - 1/341 Own Ware 1 7. 12g§: Tn I§l§ Pi§ppnvtry Report contained 1,911 recipients, and in 1840 there were 3,072. In 1838 the number of deaths in Preston Union amounted to 1,269, and in 1841 they amounted to 1,739, being an increase of 462. This excited the attention of the Registrar-General, who wrote to the pf the Upiop to inquire the cause t and regiypod the following answei: The cause is, in g very great measure, insufficiency of food, which has tended`to engender death among the labouring ulaao, who have been exposed to high prices for provisions (and those of 4!) 41fFripr kind) willigt in he receipt of decreasing wages. " JOSEPH TIII‘OZERAY." CORN:444 I VA AND CQNMERCIA:L RgFARM, On Wednesday last a meeting, which was fully.and most respectably attended, was held at the King's Head, Cumberland market, for the purpose of forming an Anti- Coro-hlw Associqti 9 n for the western division of the Par 6 li Pg rilt!PFl!o. The necessary restitutions were proposed and carried. 4 liberal subscription was entered into, and the meeting adjourned till Thursday, the 9th of September, at Lawson's Rooms, Gower -street, when a large meeting . • is expected, and the pregenc@ pf the Membeis for the borough,- Sir Charles Napier and Benjamin Ball, is anticipated. CHELSEA.—Last evening a very respectable meeting took place at the Manor-house, Chelsea, for the purpose of hearing Mr. Peter Taylor, jun., continue his exposi tion of the evils of the Corn-laws. Mr. Taylor addressed the meeting at great length and with much force. KENT.--0P Thi!rOdfq PiTiliPo a VPINtiP4 Was 'held of the inhabitants•of Dartrord, for the purpose of enrolling members in the Anti-Corn-law Association, and adopt- ing measures for agitating the town and county against the Bread-tax. In conseqUeribe of the great concourse of persons, being far beyond what could by contained in the Town 'Hall, the meeting was adjourned to an open space, where about 1,200 persons assembled. Mr. Sidney Smith, who was received with loud cheers, proceeded to address the meeting'. He congratulated them on the progress of the question, and stated that in six months it had gained the position of a Cabinet ques tion, was recommended from the Throne, and had gained an accession of one hundred Members in the House of Commons. He observed that the resignation of, the Whigs had fairly sunk the existence of the very names Whig and Tory, and had annihilated the old classifica tions of party. The Duke of Buckingham had been invited into the C a binet, Ojai Was just 4 tieclaration of war against the free Mc-feria, and the struggle was sim plified into a contest betwixt the Government and the country. It was the great cause of Bob Peel versus John Bull, and they all knew that when John fairly saw whom he was to fight, he Bever wa long Ali hnocking him down. He called the meeting to witness that mo derate fixed duties were rejected with scorn by Rich mond, the Cabinet-maker, and that total and immediate repeal was the only safe, as it was the only just and true ground for the people to occupy. He also felicitated them on the accession of the religious community to their ranks, and was .glad to learn that 700 ministers, after their return from the Manchester Conference, had each called crowded meetings in their several localities, to give an account of what had occurred. Mr. Smith then lectured for about t: s 'o , a h n o a ur a s l a ,o n t d o o; a h il a ta l n f, k a s n t d o c i\ o i n r - . Smith con cluded amidst three times three che ers .

ESSEX.—An Anti-Corn•law Association has been re cently formed at Waithamstow, Mr, Sidney Smith lec tured in the British School there on Wednesday evening. The meeting was also addressed by 'l'. F. Gibson, Esq., Mr. Sutton, and Mr. Clarke. The Rev. Baptist Noel's pamphlet has created a prodigious effect in this quarter. ANTI-MONOPOLY ASSOCIATION.--Last Wedlle§day even i n g a meeting took place at the Temperanoe Hotel, Aldersn ° ato-street, to consider th e f ormat i on o f a Metro politan Young Man's Anti-Monopoly Association similar to the Association at Manchester. It was unanimously resolved, " That a public meeting should be held at Finsbury Chap', South-place, on Thursday ne4t. Sep tember 9, at half-past seven for eight to carry out the resolutitin above referred to ;" and a working Committee was appointed, with power to add to their numbers, to take measures for calling the meeting. Subscriptions were collected in aid of the objects of the Society. The following young gentlemen have lately been appointed to ships from Dr. Burney's Royal Academy, Gosport:—W. B.

CONSECRATION OF THE CITY OF LONDON . and TOWER HAMLETS CEMETERY. On Saturday the City of London and Tower Hamlets Cemetery, situated on the right hand side of the Mile end-road, about a mile on the eastern side of the Mile end-gate, was formally consecrated by the Bishop of London, previous to its being opened for the reception of bodies. Though the weather was exceedingly unfavour able, owing to the heavy and unremitting rains, the at tendance was numerous and respectable.. The temporary chapel, in which the ceremony took place, was densely crowded. Among those present we observed the k Mayor, Mr. Sheriff. Farncombe, Mr. Sheriff Gibbs, Mr. Deputy Alderman Green,,and various others. About twenty minutes to three the Bishop of London arrived (having previously robed at the house of Mr. Francis, one of the Directors), and proceeded imme diately to the consecration of the ground. One of the Directors of the Company having presented a petition for the consecration to the Right Rev. Prelate, the latter caused the petition to be read, which having been done by the Registrar, the Rev. Mr. Williams, the Bishop's Chaplain, proceeded to read the 39th and 90th Psalms, and that portion of the 19th chapter of the_ Gospel of St. John which relates to the tomb of Joseph of Ltimathen. After the Right Rev. Prelate said prayers— One of . the Directors , ef the Company (Mr. Deputy Alderman Green) presented his Lordship with the Act of Parliament, and the deeds of conveyance of the ground, after which the Right Reverend Prelate directed the sentence of consecration to be read. This having been done, the Bishop signed the document, and directed the Registrar to register it, together with the petition. The company present, with very few exceptions, then knelt down, when the Right Reverend Prelate read a prayer composed for the occasion. The Bishop concluded the ceremony of consecration by, pronouncing the apostolic benediction ; on which the company separated, the largest portion of them adjourn ing to a neighbouring marquee, in which a cold colla tion was provided. The number of persons who sat down to the collation was - about 200, among whom were a great number of fashionably-dressed ladies. — Mr. Alderman Deputy Green presided on the occasion. The Chairman, after most of the company had partaken of refreshment, rose to propose the health of the Right Rev. Prelate. The toast having been drunk with great up- plause, The Bishop of LONDON rose to return thanks. He greatly approved of public cemeteries in the suburbs of large towns, both on the ground of the health of the in habitants, and on that of public decency. The only difficulty which ever occurred to his mind on the subject was, that the necessary effect of these cemeteries must be to cause interments to be removed from those parishes in towns in which the deaths take place, and consequent ly deprive the clergymen of those parishes of the burial fees which they would otherwise receive. As the repre- sentative and guardian of the interests of the clergymen of the metropolis, he felt it right to allude to this cir • cumstance, as the greater part of the living of many of the clergy was derived from burial fees. He was happy, however, to say, that by a yecent Act of Parliament pre vision had been made for insuiiig some arowance to the clf'rgy in cases where bodies were removed from their pa rishes to be interred in public cemeteries. The Directors of the Company whose cemetery had been just consecrated, had, he was happy to say, acted with liberality towards those clergymen who would be deprived of their usual burial fees by its means ; and though the remuneration was not all that could be wished, still he was pleased to witness the liberality the Directors had• displayed. It was quitd as much as could be expected—(Hear, hear) —r, and the clergy mustbe satisfied with a small remuneration, The Right Rev. Prelate then quitted the grounds. It was stated on his departure, by a gentleman present, that he (the Bishop of London) intends to bring in a Bill in the ensuing Session of Parliament to prevent any further interments in the City of London. The City of London and Tower Hamlet§ Cemetery embraces an extent of thirty acres of ground, and pro mises, when finished, to be very tastefully laid out. The first interment took place yesterday afternoon, very shortly after the ceremony of consecration had taken place. ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETING AT LYNN. A meeting of upwards of 300 inhabitants, convened by public notice, was held on Monday evening last, nt the Freemasons' Tavern, to consider the propriety of a petition to the House of Commons for the repeal of the Corn-laws. The Rev. Mr. ' HAMILTON ended an able atkeeob by joining in a resolution before the meettegr, " approving of the acts and resolutions of the Conference of Christian Ministers recently held in Manchester, on the subject of the laws which restrict the supply of food to the people." A commercial gentleman in the body of the meeting, stated that he came from Leeds, that seeing an advertise. meat fur a public meeting on the snhieQt of the softie laws, he felt himself eonStilitlKl to at end it. He was enabled fully to aonflrta the statements which had been made as to the distress so universal!) existing, not only amongst the labouring classes, but the wholesale and re tail dealers as well. He had lately been at Hull, Lin. coln, Boston, and other large towns, 411c1 the pittvorsal cry is, "We have no trade," Qii the part of the suffer ing weavers of Yurlishlpo, ho thanked the meeting for tho sympathy they exhibited in their distresses. A petition embodying these sentiments, and pray. ing a repeal of the bread-tax, was moved by .11, Trenowath, and seconded and carried 17,nat inmusiy by the meeting, who agrees with the elniirman, that in the b§9TICP ilf ITouie from Parliament, no one would be so proper to present it to the House of Commons as Mr, Cobden, the newly-elected Member for Stoekvßt. : = Norwich Mercury. Org . N 14ARKS. _ . Clue ofl the lasi acts of the late Ministers was to throw open the Regent's Park ; and, that they might gild their setting sun with the lustre of one popular deed, they did not wait for completing the fences. The breadth of sward thus added to the public pleasure-ground is considerable —some Owty 40res t but this, added to what was pre viously open, falls far short of the two hundred acres that Lord Teignmouth stated was available out of the two hundred and eighty-six that the Park contains. Nevertheless it is very nearly all that remained unappro priated I without revoking agreements with a few indi viduals, who have been favoured at the expense of the public with the public Tories and Whigs have broken faith in this instance. The gine. PC4W thrown open is the large tractgr pass lying between the groundso, the lifareptis of Hertford's villa and the broad gravel-walk; and extending from the Zoological Gardens to the ornamental water. A light and ele. gent suspension-bridge, with a flagged foet-way s orosses the canal between the Marvis's grounds and the en closed garden in front of Hanover-terrace; and the views from this bridge of the villa and gardens, and the lake, are very pretty ; gates of entrance are opened at various other points ; and gravel-walks, leading from theni a serpentine direction, will facilitate the pass across the Park, and contribute to the convenietioe of promena ders. A very liberal wargill ig allowed to skirt the pri vate gronndA cif the.viilas; but as these are railed off only by open wire inces ' the range of view is quite as exten sive as may be, and the parterres and plantations form a pleasing boundary to the scene. When the walks are finished, the turf levelled, a group of trees planted here and there, a few more &eats erected, and the communica tion opened with Primrose Hill, now become public pro perty, the Regent's Park will be the most healthful and delightful place of recreation in the metropolis. The Green Park, too, now shows the good etitets of those operations that in their commencement ttlarin.td the jealous apprehensions of the Londoners for their favourite grass. thoroughfare. The new-dressed turf now wears its freshest verdure after the soaking of sum mer rains, which made passengers sensible of the tAlue of the firm gravel-walks : the benches placed at fre quent intervals arc an additional conifori ; 'besides being neat-looking and suhstliMial, they afford no temptation to the idle and mischievous to deface them, as they con sist only of a flat seat without back or arms. While on this track, let us step out to Kensington Gardens, and admire the improvements that have already increased the healthfulness of that attractive spot, by causing a free circulation of air, and will here after contribute greatly to the beauty of the foliage. The thinning of the groves and the felling of many large trees that were unsound along the walks have given a nakedness to some parts ; but the filling-up of hollows, the removal of hedges and other obstructions, the extensive plan of drainage,and the substitution of vigorous saplings for decayed ld trees, are advantages that will be appreciated more and more every year; the parterres of shrubs and flowers, bordering the path raining parallel to the Kensington-road, make it a beautiful pro menade; and the flourishing plantations along this and he other side 4ro even now ornamental. Let us not forget, either, the formation of Victoria Park at Hackney, for the benefit of the East-end of the town and the residents of the Tower Hamlett especially, in recounting the good deeds of the " Woods and Forests" under the Whig regime.—Spectator. THEATRICAL CHIT-CHAT.—A lady who, Under the aristocrat name of Walpole, many years since appeared at Covent-garden Theatre in the "Irish Widow," and, for a season, sustained a high reputation in the histrionic art, is about to return to the stage under the auspiees of the indefatigable "Webster.

The leading Members of the new Cabinet have long been before the public ; to use a common, but ex pressive phrase, they are " better known than trusted." Their previous reputations will anything but advance their claims on public confidence. A leading Tory journal of Thursday, bidding high for the organship, introduced the new Administration to the public with the following flourish of trumpets : "It would be idle in us to claim for a Cabinet thus constituted the confidence of the country. There is not one of its members who is not already well known to the people of England, or who has not by his past conduct in public life earned for himself a high place in their confi dence and esteem. We need only add that the appropria tion to each individual member of the Cabinet of the position in the Administration which each is destined to fill, has been accomplished with the unanimous concur rence and to the entire satisfaction of all." A mighty change has passed over the visions of Tory seers. We have before us a host of very differently-con structed articles upon the Premier and his colleagues— all printed in leading Tory papers within the last twelve months. We shall indulge in a few extracts. First, then, as to the Premier himself. No longer since than August, 1840, the following denunciation of Sir Robert Peel appeared in the Herald—now among the loudest in his praise " This is not the time to forget that no party ever trusted Sir Robert Peel without being betrayed iv His name is closely identified with nearly every mis chievous measure of the last quarter of a century. Sir R. Peel betrayed the industry and agriculture of the country by his fatal Currency Bill of 1819. Sir R. Peel betrayed the Church by the part he took in passing the Romanist Emancipation Act.. Sir R. Peel most foully betrayed the great interests of the Conservative party by his conduct during the present session on the Privi lege queztion. And now we have, as the result of ' a courtnissionissued by hihrfive years ago, a regulptSt or ganized scheme of spoliption brought to bear upon die Church, and destined, if ever acted upon, to Sweepit I from the catalogue of our national institutions " The public will recognize in this condensation of Sir Robert Peel's crimes against Toryism, the text of the letters of Catholicus, recently puLlishe'd in the Tines the elaborate arguments of the British Critic, urged to the same result ; and the appeals of the Standard to the " Conservative democracy," to select " other leaders ;" as those in whom they had trusted had proved traitors to the Protestant cause. The following were among many similar intimations, employed about the same time by the Standard to alarm the • time-serving and his then supporters, now his colleagues, into - the support of Orange Protestantism : " The knowledge that the Conservative democracy will be obeyed by those who assume to represent and to lead them in Parliament, will go far to produce union among Conservatives in both Houses, by en couraging those who, however they may have acted, have all along wialte4 to act right, and by teaching to such t would distract the party by their personal eugawnenta; or their impracticable prejudices, that they must be content to snbmit or to retire." Again : " Let it once be known that the c4,Wrrative masses will take their own business ilatia their own hands, and all things in the party will be speedily arranged as we can whh." Of surd Ellenborough, a member of the new Cabinet, and the holder of an important and prominmat post in the Government, the same faithful chrottiOer observed—(the extract is from an article on Otis Lordship's support of the Canada Cleru Rgamoa Bill) :,—" This man should really sparo onuervatism the misery of havii to bear at. keo t?w scandal of his sinecure, and the disgrace of his association !" We might multiply quotations a a similar description. We reserve ourselves, howeyok , , for future occasions, of which plenty will adu\--Sunday Paper. THE NEW ELEcrloNs.—Next week most probably the members of the now Administration will have to re-appear before their constituents to receive the fiat of their approval bee ,w they can resume their seats in the House of CNAPAons. There are some of them it .... is true, sue h aa% as some one styled him the other day, thQ UPAGarabie Member the Baronet for Tamworth, whmn there is no possible chance of displacing. All of them, however, are not in the same happy security, and where any chance does exist, no means should be left un tried by the friends of truth, justice, and the Queen to deprive them of that which already they have gained, and diminish that majority by means of which they have st(111 - 1W.d the palace and forced themselves into the councils et their sovereign. A few examples of this kind might have a very salutary effect, and in some of the following places, for instance, the attempt might not unprofitably be made. Lord Stauloy for North Lancashire ; the case is certainly 1 doubtful one, the mon o p o li s t s having no small power in that district, but yet the attempt would. be worth making. His co-mate and companion in ter giversation and backsliding, Sir James Graham, for Dorchester ; here, too, au opposition might not be inef fectual. Sir W, Vollett, for Exeter ; this is a place in which a Liberal would have every chance of success ; gleh is the slender hold which Sir William has upon the suffrages of the electars that his own friends are be- ginning to be quite apprehensive upon the point. Cambridge University, that has always leaned to the Liberal Ade, ought, at all events, to return some losN efficient Member than the twaddling Old Goulburn, who is to be the Tory Chancellor of the Exchequer. Thett there is Mr. Gladstone, for Newark—but it 15. useless to enumerate further. In every co.sQlffii! there is the slightest probability of sneoes.s, the attempt should be made. Nor should the fact of the Tories having been successful at the late election, deter a Liberal candidate from coming forward. The Tories must now necessarily offer them selves under difkrent circumstances. Before, they had merely WI attack and arraign the conduct of the Whigs, and there are few plans or propositions so blameless that an industrious ingenuity cannot pick holes in them. But now they will either have to explain the course which they intend to take themselves (which, all things con sidered, is not likely), or they must go poking on like a `t pig in a bag," a thing which few people at any time are willing to purchase. This, it must be obvious, will be the most likely result, as their plans will hardly be arranged and digested till the elections are all over. But the electors who voted for them the last time before they came in, should, now that they have come in, re quire something more than a mysterious nod and wink and shake of the head as to what they will do. Defeat, then, in the late instance should have no effect in deter ring a Liberal from coining forward now. And if even a few of them were unseated, the effect would tell.—San -414 roper. THUNDER S T R M.—Yesterday afternoon (Fri day) between four and five o'clock, we were visited by a terrific storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied by torrents of rain. During the day the weather had been uncommonly hot and sultry, and the troubled state of the atmosphere portended a storm. Up to four o'clock, however, the sky was comparatively clear ; but a little past that hour big drops of rain began to fall ; and soon after brilliant flashes of lightning darted forth in exten sive volume. These were speedily followed by loud and long peals of thunder, which burst, as it were, imme diately overhead, and shook ninny buildings to their foundations. The storm raged with much violence ' • but about six o'clock the rain and thunder ceased, though the lightning continued to flash nearly all the evening.— Dover Chronicle, TENACITY OF LIFE.—It is a common saying, thatstctai has nine lives, whether true or not ; but a case occurred in Kirkby Lonsdale which proves that at least they have one long one. During the last month, two cats, belonging to,Tohn Pearson, Esq., were missing, and it could not be conjectured where they had gone. During Tuesday in last week, one of them was heard mewing in the hayloft, when the hay was immediately removed, and there they were found betwixt the boards and the•ceiling both alive. They wore, of course, in a poor weak state, having been thus confined for twenty-two days without any food, and a mow of hay two yards thick above them. Kendal Mercury. Wood sheathing was first employed for ships. A very early instance of extraordinary attention to the preservation of the bottom of a vessel appeared in a gal ley, supposed to have belonged to the Emperor Trajan, A.D, lig to A.D. 117, which was found in the fifteenth century, in the Lago Riccio, in the kingdom of Naples, and was weighed, after it had probably remained more than thirteen hundred years under water ; it was doubly planked with pine and cypress, coated with pitch, upon which there was a covering of linen, and, over all, a sheathing of lead, fastened with nails of brass or copper; the timber was in a perfectly sound state. In the reign of Henry VIII. large vessels had a coating of loose ani mal hair attached with pitch, over which a sheathing board, of about an inch in thickness, was fastened, " to keep the hair in its place."—Athenceunt. CAUTION TO LOUNGERS.—The frequenters of the parks, &c., should be careful where they bestow themselves when tired, in their daily promenades. Since the extension and vigilance of the police force in the me tropolis, the pick-pockets, whose trade has been on the wane, have substituted, for their ordinary "pickers and stealers," certain instruments with which they are en abled_ silently and surely to abstract whatever the pockets of the lieges may chance to contain. This is effected, how ever,tn at an increased disadvantage to the sufferer , for, obtain the prise, the garments are hacked in a most cruel manner, An instance of this kind, which came withinv_ h en our knowledge, occurred only a few evening s since, when a gentleman, fatigued with his walk, sat do in the inclosure in St. James's Park, where were ersons were also sitting.

A lady's maid, who attributed an increase of size to the effects of witch craft, and spread the report all over the village, has bee's brought to bed of a daughter. As the inhabitants from all quarters were collected at the jubilee in the wood, Lough Corrib was more than usually still and solitary. The quiet gurgle of the waters, and the occasional twitter of the lake- birds as our little bark glided along the sedgy banks, were the only sounds that disturbed the deep quiescence which prevailed. Guided by the lights as our pole star, - we proceeded steadily onwards in our course ; and tilt - high the current was against us, the Etesian wind of the sea son blew strongly up the stream, before which we were now floating in moonlight and silence. The glittering coruscations of the bonfires in the distance reminded us of those night fairs which it is the-custom of the Egyp tians at certain seasons of the year to 'hold upon the Nile ; and the fair lake Moeris itself, when at the zenith of her glory, with all her pavilions, pyrathids, and palaces rising from the bosom of her waters, could net have appeared brighter in the eyes of the young wor shippers of Isis than the broad and majestic Corrib seemed to us as we gaily floated along her green and moonlit banks. If, thought we, as our airy hark crept silently along---- if these lone shores want the luxurious groves of the orange and acacia, with the superb lotus trees which adorn the scenery of the Nile—if they want the shade of the tamarisk and palm-tree, with the rich perfume of the cedar, which flourish along the banks of that sacred, river—they are, on the other hand, decorated with the, lovely arbUtus, whose green foliage never deserts therm till a cheering vernal sun spreads a new umbrageous mantle over the whole tree ; and when we recollee, that this beautiful evergreen bears its bright foF age through all the seasons, that its flowers, so exo- j i s i te i y delicate, of one year and fruit of the precedirg src pre sent at the same time, it may be asked wb".. t more cou ld Elysium offer? It may be said, after Ihme r _ " The stern winter smiles on this auspicious clime, The fields are florid with unfadiag prime." There are besides, scattered along these bank s , r coups the wild ash and willow, whose phi nt boughs, interlaced with each other, may be seen gracefully 'rending over the dark waters of the lake ; and, as ascending the stream, the long green slopes under the pale light of' the moon were successively presented to our view, we inwardly asked ourselves, " Where, 0 where is there verdure of the richness and softness of this ?" Yet this is the country, lovely as it is, there has been a ban upon for ages !

BARTHOLOM EW FAI R.—The usual procla mation for holding the fair was not made by the Lord Mayor until four o'clock on Friday afternoon, instead of at noon, to the great disappointment of the various stall keepers. According to ancient usage the beadle of the Merchant-tailors' Company went round Cloth fair and the district to examine all the measures of the drapers. On their return from meeting the Lord Mayor, the Piepoudre Court was opened with the usual proclamation at the Hand and Shears public-house, in Cloth-fair, by Mr. Martin, the steward of the manor. The fair has much fallen off this year, as " piccage and stallage" was only paid for eighteen stalls and one show,, whereas last year there were twenty-eight stalls and three shows. The clerk of the pariah of SL Bartholomew was in attendance to receive the usual fee of 4s. 6d., of which 2s. 6d. was for the rector, and one shilling each to the clerk and sexton, which have been paid from a very remote time. Wombvvell's menagerie contains. a large and very interesting collection, amongst which are three giraffes, three elephants, a lioness with four cubs, a tigress and three cubs, a pair of beau tiful gnus, and a rhinoceros, which has been for three years in the collection. Several of the animals went through a series of surprising performonces under the direction of Birt, the keeper. The weather was very unpropitious, and the period of holding the show has been curtailed to this day and Monday, with the strictest injunctions that every place shall be closed at ten at night. There was a large concourse of persons yesterday, but every thing was conducted with decorum, the strong attendance of the City Police ensuring due order. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The general half- yearly meeting of this Company took place on Thursday, in the large room of the newly erected station, Temple Meads, Bristol. The principal matters were as follow :—The total amount of receipts for the half-year enclitic , the 30th of June last was: 187,7801. 16s. 2d., and the expenses were for the same period 84,38C1. Os. 7d., being nearly 45 per cent. on the receipts. The number of passengers conveyed was 659,537 for an aggregate number of 15,587,798 miles. Total profit is 110,3301. 14s. 6d., 63,5901. 16s. Bd. of which had to be applied to the payment of interest, and the remainder to be applied as a divi dend. The Directors hb.d therefore declared a divi dend of 31. per cent. per annum. The receipts since the opening of the line throughout (on the Ist July) showed an average on four successive weeks of 14,844/. 11s. per week. The total amount of capital required is 6,150,000/., independent of a plant to work the two lines (Great Western Union and Bristol and Exeter), which was esti mated at 150,0001. more. After expressing their regret that their expenditure should have exceeded their estimates, the Directors recommend an issue of loan -notes to the amount of 550,000/. The several resolgtions adopting the report, authorising the issue of loan notes, and sanctioning the reduction of the Board of Directors, were subsequently . passed, and the meeting, which was very fully attended, separatt.

Defendant denied all this. The Magistrate said the complainant had been grossly ill-treated, and although she did not charge him with robbery, the disappearance of the brooch was suspicious, more particularly as the locket was found under the omnibus. He then fined him 51. and costs, which was paid. NEW JEWS' SYNAGOGUE.—The foundation stone of Jews' synagogue was laid on Thursday se'n night, IA Bath, by J. Abraham and B.

The day .iappening to be the birthday of Prince Albert, all the additional prayers were, according to the invariable prac tice of the Jews on such commemorations, read .by the officiating minister with that loyal fervour which has eve characterised the Jewish people. . • R OYAL POLYTECHNIC .INS.TITU TION, REGENT-STREET. * NEW LECTURES on the DAGUERREOTYPE and PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS, with Illustrations, and a full Explanation of the Chemical Process adopted.
