He would now very cordially drink, " To our next merry meeting." Mr. Alderman WATKrtis proposed three cheers for that next meeting, which, being given, the chair was vacated, and th e com p an y r e ti re d a t half-past eleven o'clock, having spent a very pleasant evening.

THE MAYOR OF MANCHESTER'S that in times of difficulty, when Manchester was Fcarcely known, and Liverpool scarcely thought of, they were the rallying points, whenever the liberties of this country were in danger. If we have not as much importance now as formerly, it is because we have Manchester _ end other great communities a certain thing which I have mentioned before—l mean by the very gratifying interest which the higher and wealthy classes take iu the welfare of anything where the promotion of the education of the middle and lower classes is concerned, and by the manner in DINNER, TO THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON. j a y the g" :aunot 3 10 was a S IOC 143 to 15'; _ which they and have allowed t rendered i:e their people o l libraries l,ehe t accessible books o t every one, at home to study. I have seen that system tried in my own country, and I can assure you that it has worked with perfect success. His worship the Mayor has very kindly alluded to my staying in your great town ; and under the present circumstances of the world, and the intimate relation which exists between Prussia and Germany on the one side, and the city of Manchester in particular on the other, I should think it unbecoming if, in the official position which I have had the honour to occupy, I did not offer you a few words as the result of my observations. I believe many persons here present will not think me too sanguine if I say.—and it is the wish of my heart and the prospect of my understanding as a politician and an observer of public events—that the great desire of the present time is for the preservation of peace in Europe.—(Cheers.) I will not enter at length into my reasons for this supposition, and for ex pressing it so unreservedly, but I will mention springing up to rival London; arid I can assure this company that we like to see these towns and cities springing up, because we know how much the honour, welfare, and prosperity of this country de pends on these large communities. I can assure my excellent friend the Mayor that when I look around and see what we may well be proud of in London— and I think we have some things that we have a right to be proud of—yet I confess that, whenever I begin with some of our ancient institutions, our hospitals, why, I find them no less anxiously cared for in this great city.

Sir, —lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted with Rheumatic Gvt, the suffering from which induced me to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe ewes taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since Which I have had no return of the complaint. " I trust yon will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know hew to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, " _MICHAEL NASMYTII." The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's Clout and Rheumatic I'ills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted 'with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the bead and face, and all analonus complaints. The never-failing effects of GOUT and RHEUMATIC TILLS in curing every description of Goat and Rheumatism, have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours. but re store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the bead or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect case, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many gratefal evidences of its benign influence. Sold by Thomas Front, 229, Strand, London, and, by his appoint anent, by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United lOngdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box. Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe the name and address of" Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London," im pressed upon the Goveruuaent Stapp affixed to each box o:fthe genuine Medicine.

MAJOR AND lIIS WAGER. A smart young fellow of the name of Major Resolv'd one day That he would lay A singularly interesting wager, The bet which Mr. Major laid was this (Ind certainly 'tie not so much amiss); Six Overcoats were to be made lie different artistes in the trade. The number of the Coats was not much heeded, For, as it happen'd, they were, just then, needed. The garments being made, Were on a taste to be laid ' • • And after that an umpire was to fix On one among the six, And if the one selected from the rest, As being best, Tuned out to he the Coat of M. and SON, The curious wager Of Mr. Major Was to be view'd as honourably won. The umpire chosen was a Mr. Grainger, A man wb•se taste Is rightly placed, And, i would add, to this a perfect stranger. The time arrived, and Mr. Matthew Major Was all agog' to hear about his wager. Th.., friends all met, the umpire came, Straight to the coat-clad table, And in a way most able, Presided at the same. The new-made Coats were thoroughly inspected, A id cm, as choicest, was at length selected. All in the room save Mr. Major, Who laid the wager Lool:ed right straight duwit their noses; For, as you'll guess, The choicest dress Was that obtained of MOSES. LIST OF PRICES. SEAM XADE.

S " E Y; ANOVELTY for the approaching season is in preparation to which a distinguishing name has not yet been given, but which the inventors, Messrs. NICOLL, can recommend as one of the most useful, warm, comfortable, and graceful articles of gentlemanly attire ever produced. Specimens can be seen at 114, 116, and 120, Regent street, and 22, Cornhiil, as also TILE TREBLE Garment, or PALETOT, called THE NICOLL, which retains all the characteristics of the famed Paletot (registered 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65) in its exterior, and has the additional advantages of being convertible from a warns to a light Overcoat, or vies versa, at the pleasure of the wearer, or as the mild or cold nature of the weather may re quire. This garment must be seen and worn to be properly appre ciated ; it will be found, perhaps, the best preservative of health in this variable climate. THE NICOLL has been secured by Royal Letters Patent in ENGLAND, IRELAND, SCOTLAND, and the COLONIES ; it can, therefore, only be purchased in the country, or abroad, of Messrs NICOLL'S (the patentees) recognised AGENT, and in LONDON only of themselves, viz., at 114, 116, 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL. • • THE NICOLL PALETOT (Regd.

JERMY.—This unfortuntite lady, after re. maining some time at the Bluchers' Arms, near Kes wick, removed to Patterdale, where she took private lodgings for a time. During her stay there she visited Lyulph's Tower, Airey Force, and all other places of interest. We aro not quite certain whether she ascended Helvellyn or not; but we had: ocular proof of her pre sence on Skiddow's top during her stay in the neigh bourhood of Keswick. On Tuesday (the market day) she arrived at the New Crown Inn, Penrith. She after wards went to view the Giant's Grave, and other inte' resting objects in and near the church. Here, however, she was unfortunately recognised, and such was the anxiety of the country people to see one of Rush's in tended victims that the unfortunate lady, to save herself from their somewhat rude curiosity, was compelled to hasten down a back lane to the Crown Hotel. On Wednesday, at one P.M., Mrs. Jermy left Pent ith by the northern train fur Scotland. She was ascompanied by her sister and her sister's husband, as well as a female servant and her own &aughter, the little Miss Jermy, we presume, who ran to the servant's hall on the night of the murder screaming " we are all going to be mur dered." Mrs. Jermy is a woman rather smaller than the generality of her sex. She is wry pale, her coon. tenance bearing evident fracas of anxiety and suffering. The little girl is a very pretty child, apparently about six or seven years of age.—Penryth Correspondent. Mrs. Jermy and Eliza. Chc•stney, arrived at the Bush Ili:eel on Thursday last, where it is supposed they intend to stay for a short tirae.—Carlisle Pcstrzot. Foust CHILDREN POISONED.--One of the most diabolical attempts ever made to destroy human life by poison was perpetrated in Nottingham on the evening of Friday last. About five o'clock, a young man residing near the house, occupied by a hawker named Burke, a widower, in Eves's-yard, Narrow marsh, discovered that the poor man's children had been suddenly taken ill in the absence of their father, and proceeding to render them assistance, found that they had been vomiting dreadfully. At first it was thought that they had been seized with cholera, but a cup containing some suspicious looking ingredient being found upon the table, a number of the neighbours were called in, and the whole flintily, with the cup and its contents, were instantly carried oft to the General Hospital, where restoratives being promply applied, the two youngest were soon pro nounced out of danger. Their names are—Mary, aged 11; /Items, six; Catherine, four; and Sarah, two. Yesterday (Saturday) the eldest, Mary, was sufficiently well to make a statement, from which it appeared that having gone out to buy some small articles of grocery, she was met on her return by a woman who asked her if her name was not Burke. The girl replied in the affirmative, and was asked if she would like some good stuff. The woman then gave her a paper containing a quantity of white powder, telling her it was magnesia; that she must pour hot water upon it, drink some of it, and give the rest to her brother and sisters. She did so, and they all became very sick. The liquid in the cup and the contents of the children's stomachs were found to be strongly impregnated with arsenic. The father has since returned. No certain clue has as yet been dis covered to load to the detection of the woman. ANOTHER FLYING DUTCHMAN.---A narrow escape occurred on the St. Leger night to a respectable man at Rawmarsh, who had witnessed the decision of that great event with feelings of much excitement. He had retired to rest, which appears to have been much disturbed by visions of what he had on that day seen. He loudly vociferated in his sleep, " They're coming—they're coming;" and springing out of bed, exclaimed, "The Dutchman—the Dutchman wins—stand off—stand off— the Dutchman wins!" He throw open the window, jumped out, and fell a distance of 16 feet, alighting on a brick pavement, but without receiving any further in jury than a severe shaking.—Doncaster Gazette. VAUXHALL GARDENS.—This popular place of entertainment is announced to re-open on Wednesday next, under the entire direction of Mr. Robert War dell, who has engaged Mr. T. R. Lewis as secretary. DISCOVERY OF ANTIQUITIES.—Some days ago, in digging for foundations on the railway at aillons-sur- Marne, a portion of a stone statue was discovered as large as lite. The head was found at a distance of some paces. The upper part of the trunk and the arms were wanting. some distance from this spot was found a Roman medal of the Emperor Tiberius, half bronzs, with the inscription, " TI. CaESAR. AUGUST. F. IMPERATOR ;" and on the reverse, " ROM. ET AUG." (From the Manchester Guardian) The entertainment given last Friday evening in the Town- hall, by John Potter, Esq., Mayor of Manchester, in honour of the Right Hon. Sir James Duke, Bart., M.P., Lord Mayor of London, arose out, of a desire of our worthy mayor, who had shared in the hospitalities of the Guildhall, to reciprocate those hospitalities as far as was individually in his power; and he accordingly invited Sir James Duke to dine with him, and to spend a few days in Man chester. Sir James having accepted the invitation, the mayor, desirous of inviting the principal gentle men of Manchester to meet him, found that his pri vate residence would not give the requisite space for such a party, and accordingly be determined to entertain his guests in the large room of the Town. hall, which has recently undergone cleansing and painting ; and though possessing none of the splendour of an apartment appropriated for a state dining-room, it is, from its lofty ceiling, noble dome, and fair pro. portions, a hall well fitted for the honourable recep tion of a distinguished stranger by the authorities and residents of the great metropolis of manufactures in England. Among those present were the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of London, Lieutenant-General Earl Cathcart, K.C.B. the Right Rev. Rev. the Lord Bishop of Manchester, Lord Greenock, Monsieur Bunsen, Alexander Henry, Esq , M.P., Colonel Yorke, James Heywood, Esq , M.P., the Mayor of Lancaster, Lieutenant-Colonel Waters, the Rev. Canon Wray, the Mayor of Preston, Lieutenant- Colonel French, the Rev. Dr. Vaughan, Alexander Kay, Esq., his Excellency the Chevalier Bunsen, the Right Hon. Earl Wilton, Major-General Sir William Warre, C. 8., R. B. Armstrong, Esq., M.P. (Re corder), the Very Rev. the Dean, Colonel Barnard, William Brown, Esq , M.P., Mark Philips, Esq., the Mayor of Liverpool, Colonel Reed, C. 8., the Ver.e rab:e the Archdeacon, William Entwistle, Esq., the Rev. Canon Sergeant, Edward Rushton, Esq., Robert Gladstone, Esq., Richard Birley, Esq., George Sanders, Esq., M.P., the Very Rev. William Turner, Sir Elkanah Armitage, the Mayor of_ Boston, _ _ Lieutenant• Colonel Nudges, the Mayor of Wigan, the Mayor of Ashton, the Mayor of Warrington, Joseph Brotherton, Esq., M.P., the Mayor of Salford, Lieutenant-Colonel Nicoll, Rev. Canon Clifton, Major Douglas, William Peel, Esq., Mayor ot . Clitheroe, J. Duncuft, Esq., M.P., Mayor of Oldham, Mayor of Stockport, &c. After the usual loyal toasts had been given, fol lowed by " The Army and Navy" (acknowledged by the Earl of Cathcart), and "The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese" (responded to by the Bishop of Man - chester), The MAYOR Of MANCHESTER rose to propose the toast of the evening. He assured his guests that he rose under a deep sense of inability to do justice to the occasion and to his own feelings. It was the first time he believed on record that the chief mag'strate of Manchester had been honoured by the presence of the Lord Mayor of London.—(kpplau - se.) The liberties of England owed much to the municipalities of the country ; and when, in the course of time, by the fortuitous distribution of wealth, the cities in the provinces sprang up rapidly—strong and vigorous in their youth, important and influential in their maturity —cities, one of which he had now the privilege to represent, and another, which his friend, Mr. Bramley Moore, represented—the mainstay of the commerce and industry of the country—he would say that it was a most important and desirable thing that they should be on the best terms with the head of the greatest municipality in the kingdom.—(Cheers.) London was the centre of the trade of the world —the most wealthy city on record ; Liverpool was fast treading in the steps of the metropolis; and Manchester was the acknowledged focus of the manufacturing industry of the kingdom ; the locality where the great staple articles of trade which were exchanged for the commodities of the world were produced. He must, as in duty bound, stand up for his own town, and he would say that they, as a body of citizens, were more earnest, more zealous, more a party of progression, than either of the other two cities he had mentioned. But ha trusted there would he no absurd or paltry rivalry between the great cities of England. It was in their progression, their prosperity, and their increased in telligence, that the welfare of their mutual country depended. They must therefore make " a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether ;" and he appre hended it was a great means of creating a good feel ing between all the cities of England, when their chief magistrates met together to share the duty and pleasures of hospitality. He was bound to say his Right Hon. Friend had set them an example in this respect, which they might in vain hope to follow. They thought they could beat him in some things, but as to the rites and duties of hospitality, they sunk into insignificance in comparison with him. He be lieved that no individual in the city of London ever passed his year of office with more credit to himself, with more universal and unbounded hospitality to his fellow countrymen, with more satisfaction to London, than Sir James Duke.—(Applause.) He esteemed it a pride and a privilege to be honoured by an invita tion to share en his hospitalities ; and he was quite sure that he had had the utmost gratification in fol lowing the example of his worthy brother of Liver pool, in offering to him, as far as their inedequate means would allow them to do, the rites of hospitality. —(Cheers.) He knew that his Lordship left London to ,come amongst them at some very considerable personal inconvenience to himself. (Cheers.) Within the last few days, Sir James Duke had been confined to his room by illness. He felt gratified and complimented when he was willing to make a sacri fice, to some extent, of his own health, in coming down to Manchester. He was also, to use his own words, "in a scrape." He neglected one of the annual duties of the mayoralty of London, and he received that night, not the homage of the governors of a London hospital, but the cordial, sincere, and grateful welcome of the citizens of Manchester.— (Loud cheers.) He trusted, at any rate, his coming amongst them would- not he unproductive of some gratification to himself. He was sure they were de lighted to see him—(llear)—and he trusted that he might carry away wish him from Manchester and her people a recollection such as would induce him, at some future time, to wish to become even better ac quainted with them then now.—(Cheers.) He would not trespass longer upon their time, but call upon them to join with him most heartily and cordially in welcoming the Lord Mayor of London to Manchester, in acknowledging to him that his fame is not unknown to them ; and that they were equally desirous of pay ing him a compliment with his own fellow-citizens, who gracefully and unanimously had recently elected him their representative in the Commons House of Parliament. He gave them " The health of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of London."—(Loud cheers.) The Right lion. Sir JAMES DUKE, Bart., the Lord Mayor of London, then rose, and was received with loud cheers, which lasted for some minutes. When they had subsided, he said—Mr. Mayor, my Lords and Gentlemen,-If, Sir, you thought it necessary to make anything like an apo!ogy in rising to propose my health, this distinguished company cannot fail to appreciate the embarrassment under which I rise to return thanks for the honour you have done me in introducing me in so flattering a manner, and in ex• pressing to them my grateful thanks for the cordial reception they have given to the toast. It is you, Sir, who have been pleased to say th a t thi s i s th e fi rs t occasion on which the chief magistrate of London has had the honour to be entertained at Manchester, and on looking round this table, and this ball, and seeing the distinguished company that you have done me the honour to assemble to meet nee, I cannot help asking what has the present Lord Mayor of London done to deserve this honour and to merit this cordial welcome ? I feel I owe it entirely to that kindness of disposition which distinguishes you, Sir. It was my good for tune, some few months ago, when an illustrious Prince—his Royal Highness Prince Albrrt—to whom you have paid a well-merited compliment for the interest he takes in every great work likely to pro mete the commerce, the agriculture, and the welfare of this country, was employed in laying the founda tion stone of the Grimsby Docks, that I had the honour of meeting the Mayor of Manchester, and from that moment I have no hesitation i n s a yi ng that I was desirous of becoming better acquainted with him.—(Cheer;) But I hope you wi:l not think me ungrateful, when I say I came here with great diffidence, because I find he has placed me in a position for which I have no name. When he was pleased to make me the principal guest on the present occasion, I did feel that I was out of place, and that I had no claim to this honour, at the hands of your distin guished Mayor.—(Yes, yes.) But I trust that this company will believe that I am most grateful for the cordial reception you have given me, and if this be the first occasion on which the chief magis trate of London has had the honour of being welcomed by this great commercial community, I can only regret that my year of office is now so nearly at an end, as it will give me very little opportunity of making a further acquaintance with Lancashire during its continuance. But I can assure you that although I quite admit the greater ability of the men of this community, I take leave to think that you will give the citizens of London credit that, in ancient times I they proved thernselyes the stay of your liberties and them equally abundant and flourishing in the town of Manchester. If I look at our colleges and public schools, I find them no less prcsperous and numerous in this great commercial community. If I look at any of those means of relaxation and en joyment for the people, which are so much to be de sired, I find that the parks of Manchester rival those of London. I can assure you, Mr. Mayor, that how ever much I may be proud of being Lord Mayor of London, I can scarcely—taking into consideration what may be termed our ancient jurisdiction—say that I rival the honour you enjoy, and deservedly enjoy, as mayor of this great commercial community. I have come here with feelings of great pleasure, and my only regret is, that you have placed me in a false position. I can assure you lam delighted to come here, and if, as I trust, this district, and I hope all classes of this country, from the highest of the aris tocracy to the humblest in the land, are benefited by the prosperity of commerce, I trust that this thriving and enterprising community will long live in industry to reward its enterprising merchants with those fruits which they have a right to expect from the em ployment of their skill and capital; that as they be come wealthy, they will give the means of relaxation, leisure, and increased comforts to those whom they employ ; and that this great community will go on prospering and to prosper ; and will become, per haps, ere a very long time, a rival, even before Liverpool, of London itself. I can assure you there will be no jealous rivalry—that we are anxious at all times to cultivate the best understanding with you.—(Applause.) I do hope that this is only the beginning; and if you think that we are not so energetic as you, and will come to us, you will find me and my brother magistrates most anxious to co operate with you, either in public affairs connected with your borough, or in such general affairs of the country as can be benefited by our co-operation. I am totally unable to express the deep emotions of my heart for the high honour which you have done me; and if I have left some of my little duties unperformed, it is true you have made ample amends for my short comings in the cordial reception I have met with from those around me. I shall carry with me to the latest hour of my life the recollection of the atten tion and respect I have received on this occasion ; and I hope that though, as Mayor of Manchester and Lord Mayor of London, we may not meet again, the friendships subsisting between us will not be severed at the time when my term of office ex pires.—(Loud applause.), The CHAIRMAN said, that though he owed many pleasant hours and gratifications to the Lord Inhop of Manchester during the year that was passed, he had this week added a still deeper debt of obligation than at any former period, for he had intro• duced to this festive meeting one of the most distinguished men of Europe—(Hear, hear)— an individual distinguished, not alone in diplomatic circles, but in the highest walks of literature, art, and science. —(Cheers.) lie could not but feel it a most fortunate circumstance that he was honoured by the presence of the Chevalier Bunsen. Would that all ambassadors were like him. He apprehended that then there would not be so many misunderstandings, and doubts, and difficulties, between foreign States and the English Court. ge believed that his Excel lency knew the character, habits, and principles of the English as a people, and that he looked upon them with affectionate regard he was connected with England loy a double tie, and he trusted that the connexion would long continue, fruitful in happiness to himself, and a benefit to Europe. He would give his Excellency a hearty welcome to Manchester, and he trusted that he would carry away with him the pleasing remembrance of that industry which he had seen developed, and of the educational establish ments which he had witnessed in operation. He knew that the Chevalier Bunsen wished to increase and extend the relations already exist ing between his own Government and that of this country, and he trusted that he might be successful in carrying out every object of that nature. He would give, with the greatest satisfaction, " The health of his Excellency the Prussian Ambassador, Chevalier Bunsen." The Chevalier BUNSEN then rose amidst immense applause, and when this had subsided he said—Mr. Mayor, my Lords, and Gentlemen, I rise deeply moved to express to you my heartfelt and respectful thanks for the kind welcome you have given me.— (Cheers.) In having the honour of addressing this distinguished assembly en so auspicious an occa sion as the present, and speaking to you in this great city of Manchester, after a week's sojourn amongst you, I hope you will allow me to give vent to some feelings of admiration and satisfaction which I have experienced in inspecting your great establishments, and in seeing the great social, scientific, and artistic works which you are making. Sir, I do not intend to enlarge upon a topic known to the whole world, about the greatness of your skill and enterprise, the vastness of your stores. I have seen Manchester, and as everbody who has seen Manchester will say with me, and has said to me, all my expectations has been surpassed. But I wish, as I am accustomed to do, to make a few observations about the great social improvements which you are making. I have seen two great institutions, in one of which you have outstripped London, and the buildings erected by Parliament, and in the other you have given to Eng land and the world a model, new and unprecedented. I have seen your new Penitentiary (the Borough Gaul), and I have seen the Swinton Schools. I did not ge to see the new Penitentiary building until I had seen that admirable and excellent institution hich now serves for prisoners before, and convicts after, trial. I have seen it with great emotion ; for I could not help reflecting that it rose under the eye and superintendence of that great and immortal philan thropist, John Howard. And I believe I may say with perfect truth that there is not in Europe one institution which does more, as far as that system allows it to do, than yours. And I can congratulate you upon possessing an able governor and chaplain. I have felt that it was due to such a great city as this that you should not allow even London to go before you in proving that penitentiary system which has been approved by the suffrages of almost all eminent men on this and on the other side of the Atlantic; ; and I have been gratified at seeing that you have not been satisfied to copy Pentonville, but that you have outdone it in solidity, and I will add, in:magnificence. Now, I confess to you that I am one of those who think that a great state and a great community does honour itself if it gives its money to build such great establishments as those of the Swinton Schools and the new Penitentiary, because I believe it is a most important thing that the law which punishes should endeavour to reclaim those whom it has condemned. I am not so sanguine as to believe that there is any external system which could produce the desired effect either in education or in the reform of prisoners ; but the penitentiary system seems to me to have the great advantage of making it possible to reclaim the prisoner. And why ? For the simple reason that you create a new atmosphere about the unfortunate men who are within the walls of the prison ; you make it possible for them to receive purer air and purer impressions.—(Cheers.) But I look further still, and I see those elements which insure the success of such great works. I see, wherever I have been in your charitable institutions, that not only have the authorities by law done their duty vigorously, but that the influental men of the town have spent their time in giving their aid for the benefit of their country and of the town ; and without this real spirit of liberality there is no work—least of all of education or in the reform of prisoners—that can be successfully carried on. With respect to the Swinton Schools, there are certainly not so many children there as I hope there will be in a few months, but I cannot help believing that when it is known what an excellent education these children receive, according to their circumstances—when it is seen how feeble in body, and intellectually ignorant and weak in mind as they were in their youth, their intellect begins to dawn in their faces and to shine from their eyes--I believe there is no one in this great district who will not think it fortunate that children can be sent to such a place. I believe that soon there will not he a great town in England that will not im itate the exam p le which you have been the first to set. And as you have set the example in erecting, so I am sure you will do the same in snaking it useful. Everybody has heard of your Royal Institution, of your Athenmum, of your admirable Museum of Natural History, and also of your Mechanics' Institution. I have seen them all; but I have been particularly struck and gratified with most decisive on the point. There has never been a time when governments have been more aware that war brings no good, and That peace is not only a blessing, but a n ecess it y .—(L ou d c h eers .) B u t b e that as it may, I assure you that, as to Prussia and Germany in general, the nation and the governments of that country are firmly b en t to fort i fy every in stitution, and on uniting all their efforts, in order to maintain and secure that peace which we wish for OUT own welfare, and for the good of the world. I hope we shall soon be able to appear befor e y ou i n a better organization than that in which we have been for the last forty years ; and that we shall soon be able to reap the fruits of the united care both of nations and governments, and rally under the banner so gloriously unfurled by you, on behalf of constitu tional, civil, and religious liberty.—(Cheers.) I hope we shall soon be able so to appear before you, and to say that we will not be second to any nation in the maintenance of peace all over the world. You came forward in a critical time—one which is unparalleled in the history not only of modern times, but of the world—in a time of greater collision than has before been known in the annals of our race— and have shown what are the blessings of a nation strongly united under 'a constitutional monarchy, by the noble stand which both you and the city of London made on the 10th of April last year. We (the Germans) have our wishes for the cause of peace and progress, and we are not afraid of the result of any collision as to commercial matters. If any nation at the present time adopts the best system of com mercial relations, it does it because it thinks it right for itself and the best for its interests. So it is with all private affairs ; we all think we do right according to our own consciences, and consult our own interests. There is no doubt that when we have emerged from our difficulties, which I hope we are fast doing—we shall run a race with you in many an enterprise of industry, commerce, and trade. But our prosperity is your prosperity—(Cheers)—your cus tomers cannot see you rising into prosperity without knowing that your prosperity is connected, in the most close and intimate relations, with the pros perity of your country. Allow me to conclude by expressing my heartfelt thanks for, and admira tion of, all I have seen, and my best wishes for the increasing prosperity of the empire of Great Britain in general, and of this city and district in par ticular.— (Prolonged cheering.) The CHAIRMAN was extremely glad to see the Right Hon. the Earl of Wilton honouring his enter tainment with his presence, and he thought it an earnest that the Noble Earl would, in his place in the House of Lords, help Manchester whenever it required help. He stated that, but for the illness of Lord Brackley, the Earl of Ellesmere would also have been present ; and, in the toast he was about to propose, he would couple the names of those two noblemen, the Earl of Wilton and the Earl of Elks mere. He, therefore, gave that toast, " The healths of the Earls of Wilton and Ellesmere, and of the House or Lords." The toast was drunk with all the honours. The Earl of WILTON proposed, as a return toast, The town and trade of Manchester," to which Mr. MaiK PHILIPS replied. The MAYoR next proposed " The health of the Members of the County of Lancaster." Mr. W. BROWN, M.P., returned thanks. The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR of London then rose. lie begged to propose "The health of the Mayor of Manchester," with three times three. The toast was then drank with three times three, and one cheer more. The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, said that he was perfectly sensible that he had many great defi ciencies, but he had done his best to discharge the duties of his office with impartiality, and to bring all classes around him without regard to politics or reli gion. And be was quite delighted to see so many people around him that night, and he hoped that this would only be the commencement of a series of meetings of a similar character. He concluied by giving the:health of " The borough Members present," and called on Mr. Brotherton to return thanks. Mr. BROTHERTON, M.P., in acknowledging the toast, expressed his regret that the Members - for Ma nchester were not present themselves, to acknowledge the honour •conferred upon them. The Maxon said it was a source of great gratifica tion to him to have been the means of calling together on this occasion (with one exception) all the represen tatives of the municipalities within the county of Lancaster.—(Applause). He considered it a privi lege, and a matter of pride to himself, that the mayors of Lancaster, Preston, Liverpool, Wigan, Clitheroe, Stockport, Salford, Warrington, Ashton, and Oldham, had honoured him with their presence that evening. —(Applause.) On the part of the corporation of Manchester lie offered them a cordial welcome ; he extended to them the right hand of fellowship. Nor could he forget that he was honoured with the presence of the Mayor of Boston, who he had the pleasure of meeting recently in London, at the table of the Lord Mayor of London, then the representa tive of that borough. The identity of interests be tween Manchester and Liverpool induced him to call on the Mayor of Liverpool to respond to the toast. He trusted that the towns of the county of Lancaster might continue united in the ways of progress and improvement, and he concluded by proposing the health of " The Mayors of Lancashire, and ,with them the Alas or of Boston." Mr. J. B. MoonE, the Mayor of Liverpool, in ac knowledging the toast, assured the Mayor that all the kindly feelings that he had expressed towards Liverpool were reciprocated by that town towards Ma..chester. He hoped that a rivalry between the two would long continue in its present spirit, im proving and promoting the general interests of the community and the common good. For what affected the one affected the other, and if Manchester was depressed Liverpool suffered with it. He then adverted to the Liverpool docks, in which he said that Manchester and the country at large had a common interest. They were not exclusively the property of Liverpool, but be longed to the nation. They were gratuitously managed, and their profits went to the reduction of the charges of the port, and consequently to the benefit of the community. It might be interesting to the community to know that such was the manage ment of that estate that, in the course of the last ten years, they had been able to make a reduction to the enormous amount of 1,446,0001., and that as they progressed, in course of time that charge would be reduced year by year, so that unless the extended commerce of the country required further accommo dation, the only charge on the imports and exports would be for paying the wages of those working at the docks. He could not resist this opportunity of stating a very interesting fact and a very singular coincidence, which he stated to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, when he did him the honour of visiting him the other day. His Royal Highness arrived in Manchester on the 18th of September, and on that very day of the year 1806, forty-three years ago, Liverpool was visited by his royal brothers George IV. and William IV., then the Prince of Wales, and the Duke of Clarence. On the former occasion the tonnage of the port amounted to 507,000 tons ; but in 1849 it had increased to 3,600,000 tons. He mentioned this because it was a basis on which to calculate the progress of Manchester. Without Manchester, Liverpool would be nothing; her docks would be empty ; there would be no imports of cotton or exports of manufactures. This would give credence to the fact that this manufacture alone had added to the wealth of this country no less than one thousand millions sterling lle congratulated the different mayors present, especially those of Manchester and Stockport, on the order, loyalty, and English feeling manifested during the past year, by the people of their respective boroughs, when the emissaries of disorder were at work to destroy, to undermine, and to uproot the constitution of their country. They had much reason to be proud of this, for in not one of the cities in this part of the country had there been anything to excite the least apprehension or alarm. lie not only took this as a good omen for the future, but felt sure that as we progressed, and as the artificers, arti- Mr. Herapath, who deposed that on Sunday he received a box from Dr. Brookes, of Cheltenham, containing four parcels. No. I contained about two grains of flour. He had applied the five tests to it, and produced the results : Chrystalised arsenious acid, orpiment, Scheele's green arsenic. and yellow arsenite of silver. These tests proved to demonstration that the flour contained arsenic. Parcel No. 2 was a bit of flour paste. This also he subjected to the tests, and found that it contained arsenic in considerable quantity. Parcel No. 3 was a bottle, in the contents of which he also found traces of arsenic in solution, and by the same set of tests he also produced a small quantity of white arsenious acid, produced. Parcel No. 4 was a human stomach, which had been cut open ; its surface was inflamed, particularly in two parts, and on examining the sur face with a miscroscope ;he found two or three minute chrystals, which turned cut to be arsenious acid. He found other traces of arsenic in the stomach, which he had no doubt was that of a person who had died poi soned by arsenic. He had examined some fragments of bread and a paper shop bag, which contained a little flour, but had detected nothing deleterious in them. A handkerchief belonging to Barnett, which had contained the flour which Barnett had given to the Gregorys to make the dumplings, had also been sent to him ; particles of flour adhered to it, and it contained arsenic in large proportion. He had re ceived from Police-sergeant Nightingale some paste, which, on subjecting to analysis, he found to contain also a considerable portion of arsenic. Ile had no doubt that any person who had eaten only a small quantity of the dumpling produced would have been poisoned, the arsenic being in such considerable quan tities therein. Dr. Brookes was examined, to trace the passing of the articles analysed from him to Mr. Ilerapath. Police-sergeant Nightingale was exemined for a similar purpose, and also deposed to the finding of some of the dumpling thrown by Barnett into the privy. Barnett was present when he found it, and identified one of the dumplings as one of which he had eaten a part. James Keylock, a brother of Mrs. Gregory, was next examined with reference to the conduct of the prisoner Barnett towards him. He said that they occasionally had had words, but never any serious quarrel. This witness also partook of a small piece of dumpling, and was ill for a few hours. Saw Barrett eat more of the dumpling than he (witness) did, but the last mouthful he spat out. Caroline Gregory, sister of the deceased, said she had heard Barnett speak spitefully of Keylock, and threaten to "double him up like a nutshell." Barnett was very fond of sugar, and usually took a good deal with pudding, but on this occasion he took very little upon his plate, as if he intended to eat but little pud ding. He usually helped himself first, without wait ing for any one else, but on this occasion he waited until all the others had been served. Saw him partake of the dumpling, but he spat it out of bis mouth again. The flour of which the dumplings were made was brought by Barnett in a handkerchief, which Mr. Herapath had analysed as before stated. On the Friday night, when all the people were in, Barnott asked for the two uncooked dumplings, which had been set aside, and on Mrs. Gregory giving them to him, he threw them into the sewer which runs into the privy, and pumped a quantity of water to wash them into the privy. On Tuesday last Mrs. Barnett said to witness, " 1 have heard it reported that I was jealous of my husband, and that I had mixed the poison for him." Barnett did not complain of being ill on the Friday evening. Mrs. Pearce, wife of a farmer for whom Barnett worked, proved that she borrowed some flour of him a month previously, and used it. There was nothing wrong about it. Diana Gregory saw Mrs. Barnett sweeping out her husband's room on the Friday evening, a very unusual circumstance, as she did not live with him, but was cook at the Training School. Some other unimportant evidence was taken, and the inquest on Elizabeth Gregory was again adjourned to Wednesday next. A second inquest was held on the body of Samuel Gregory last evening. Mr. Herapath war examined, and gave similar evidence to that reported above. He had detected the presence of arsenic in the paste of the dumplings and the rejected contents of the boy's stomach. He added in conclusion—" It is my opinion that if any person had eaten a piece of the dumpling of the size of a walnut it would have killed him." The announcement of the above discoveries has created a greet sensation in the town. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS. —During the past week • the men in the employ of Messrs. Easton and Amos, engineers, of Orange-street, and to whom is con fided the care of the Trafalgar fountains, have been en gaged in mating canals in the ground straight along from the Spring garden entrance to the park to the Storey's-gate entrance, for the purpose of laying down water-pipes, which are to convey the Trafalgar spring water to Buckingham Palace. It was originally intended to have carried the pipes direct through the Mall of St. James's, but a supply of spring water being greatly needed by the Government ofiLes in Parliament -street, Downing-street, and the neighbourhood, it was thought advisable to carry them to Storey's-gate. and thence along Birdcage-walk to the Palace. There is also a pro. position for carrying the pipes up Constitution-hill across Knightsbridge into Hyde-park, to throw some thousands of gallons of pure eater into the Serpentine, about the filth of which so much has been lately said. Along the line of pipes several water pumps are to be erected, which will materially lessen the expense of watering the streets, and enable the contractors to perform that now I very necessary duty more frequently than hitherto. The number of men at present employed in these metropoli tan improvements is about 50, and they fully expect to reach the Palace and furnish it with Trafalg ar s p rin g water in about five %seas. POSITION OF NEW CEMETEIIIRS.--As there is now a probability that some step will be taken to provide against future intramural burials by the establishment of cemeteries in the country surr oundin g this great metro polis, and other large cities and towns, I would sug ges t, that no company should be allowed b y the Legislature to establish a cemetery without purchasing sufficient land around it, to ha for ever kept free from any habitable save and except tbe tenement necessary for the ho might be required to superintend the culti pbeurisldoinngv: vation of such land, or to look after the plantation if it be so laid out. A medical friend of mine, to whom I mentioned this subject, remarked that Government might convert the Lie of Dogs into a public cemetery, an d I have to observe, that there is an excellent and silent highway to it—the Thames—and wharves on both its banks, front which a steamer appropriated for that purpose might convey the corpse and mourners at a very moderate expense.—Corr espoßdeht of the Builder. IMPORTANT MICROSCOPICAL I NVESTIGATION .—Mr. Britton, Leturer on anatomy and physiology at the Bristol Medical School, i n a series of investigations, undertaken in coitjunctien with Mr. J. G. Swayne, has observed the constant occurrence of certain peculiar bodies, hitherto undescribed, as characteristic consti tuents of cholera evacuations, and by a further series of ex periments he has succeeded in demonstrating the importan t discovery of similar bodies in the atmosphere, of districts infected with cholera. The re sults of his ob servations have been submitted to the judgment of the most eminent microscopical pathologists of the metro polio, as well as of those g entlemen who have acquired great repute for their researches on cholera, and they, considering them of a novel and most important charac ter, have urged M r. Britten to give them immediate publicity.—Nedical Gazette.
