Boistsy." Thus, Gentlemen, said Baron Daunant, the Ghamber of Beers is transformed into a saloon, and the Peerage lorwer constitutes a political body in the State. This is an insult which ought to be condemned. I - therefore ixtove that the responsible editor of the Siecle be called to appear at the bar of this Chamber, in order that he may answer to it for the article I.have just quoted.— (Movement.) • Count Turgot thought that the Chamber, which was riot now numerous enough to debate, should adjourn this motion till next day.

This mode of employing the capital of the Association, is the adoption of means for augmenting the number of lives assured, and of greatly in creasing the profits beyond those of a Life Assurance Company only. And this will be found one of the most valuable prin ciples of Assurance, on account of its capability of being ap plied immediately and permanently to the benefit of the As sured himself, whilst living, as well as to others after decease. Individuals possessing real or personal property, Officers in the Army or Navy, Clergymen, Professional men, Merchants, Tradesmen, and persons of respectability and character, may, if assured with this Association, obtain advances for periods very ing from Three Months to any other agreed period, Ut amounts of 501. and upwards, upon either real or personal security, to be approved of by the Directors, including the security of Policies effected by parties with this Association, according to their value at the time of the Loan. The Directors are persuaded that by combining confidence with caution, and carrying fairly and liberally into effect this comprehensive system of Loan in connexion with Life Assur ance, they will not only consult the permanent prosperity of the Association, but at the same time renaer the Institution signally beneficial to the great mass of the community. Having thus premised the General objects of the Associa tion, it is necessary briefly to state, THE REGULATIONS OF THE COMPANY. A Deed of Settlement will be forthwith prepared for regu lating the affairs of the Association, and for limiting the re sponsibility of the Shareholder, until either an Act of Parlia ment or a Charter may be obtained ; such Deed to be settled and approved by Counsel. The Capital of the Association shall consist of Five Hundred Thousand Pounds, divided into 20,000 Shares, of 25/. each. The Deposit is 2/. 10s. per Share; which, it is expected, will be sufficient to obviate the necessity of any further call ; and Interest at the rate of Five per Cent. per Annum will be al lowed upon all Deposits from the time of payment into the Bank of the Association. The Accounts shall be audited yearly. The original Directors and Auditors shall remain in office five years; after which time Three Directors and one Auditor will retire annually ; but will be eligible for re-election. Any vacancy which may occur in the interim, either among the Directors or Auditors, will be filled up by the remaining Directors. A Special General Meeting of Proprietors shall be convened by public Advertisement in the month of July, 1847, and afterwards annually, to receive a Report of the progress cf the business of the Company, and an account of such other matters as the Directors may deem it proper to submit to them. The Qualification of voting by Proprietors at every Special and General Meeting shall be according to the following scale, viz.:— The Holder of 15 Shares shall be entitled to One Vote. 25 ... ... Two Votes. 50 ... ..„ Three Votes. 100 Four Votes. And an additional Vote for every subsequent Fifty Shares. But no Proprietor shall have a Vote in virtue of any Shares unless such Shares shall have been at least Six Months in his or her name, previous to such Special or General Meeting. Assurances may be effected for 501. and upwards, not only on the lives of persons resident in the United Kingdom, but also on the lives of parties resident anywhere within and even beyond the limits of Europe, including Foreigners of all nations at Rates proportionate to the nature of the risk. To Naval and Military Officers, at home and abroad, every facility will be given for effecting Assurances on their lives. Ladies and others, to whom it may be inconvenient to • ap pear at the Office, will be visited at their residences by a Me decal Officer of the Institution. The business of this - Office also embraces Assurances on Survivorsbips ; the granting and purchasing of Annuities, im mediate, deferred, or Survivorship, the purchase of Contingent and Reversionary Property; the endowment of Widows and Children ; and the advancing of Money, on Annuity, Mort age, and other available Securities. The annexed Rates of Premium are as moderate as consis tent with perfect security. They are constructed on the prin ciple of affording to the Assured the option of either securing a fixed Sum, or of having it increased by a participation in the Profit el Assurances may also be effected by a single payment, by a payment for a number of years certain, or by any other mode as m ay meet the views of the Assured : and the Premiums may be paid either yearly, half-yearly, or quarterly, at pro portionate Rates.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The .book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic en the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of th e regular surgeon. In order to obviate th e pernicious effects' sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of se doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in fvreosmt i g c a e t r i n t a g i n the e latent a e s t o i u c r e c s h an arises can m on a l n y y b cl e is a e c as qu e3 i;ed wh b ie y ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in come quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, Scc., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarjily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent; will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be corn promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes ef.such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

PARR'S LIFE PILLS Extract from the Third Series of Cures effected by this extraordinary Medicine. SECOND LETTER FROM. MR. OSBORNE. " Gentlemen,—l write to inform you that I have returned on foot from Liverpool, and many of my old friends here are indeed astonished at my altered appearance and activity. I must also inform you that my brother-in-law, Mr. W. Barres, of this town, has, through my wonderful restoration to life and sound health, made use of Parr's Life Pills, and their effects on him have,if possible, been even more miraculous than on myself. He had suffered from a most distressing asthma, cough, &c., for above seven years, but, after using one box at 2s. 9d., is quite a new being. The most remarkable part of his case is this—his finger and toe nails, which had become so diseased that they were quite unsightly, have been replaced by new and perfect ones. This has been considered by many who have visited him as a curiosity and wonder; for my part, I have ceased to wonder at any cure effected by Old Parr. I:continue to enjoy the best of health and spirits, and am yours very re spectfully, JOHN OSBORNE, "Late of her Majesty's 52d Regiment of Foot, dis • charged incurable by the Regimental Doctors. Hinckley, July 27, 1841." In no onepstance has this ini•aluable Medicine failed, when duly persevered in, to afford relief, even in the oldest and most inveterate cases ; if any, from want of confidence or fickleness, discontinue their use to, early, and thus leave unaccomplished what they desired, are they to attribute the fault to the medi cine?

Th r,e Conference Esci„ Baxter, he SAltcoates. The CHAIRMAN Vt. manufacturer,m ett o - a t Dundee,tentpoo'ckloct Chair. k. Edward te Tlib,meeting was opened with prayer by th e ReV. Mr. Ellis, b.! . n add resse d the meeting. He iin diettted ; the ministers ONS2ligionfroni thecliarge of being out of their proper place in h.:tending a rneeting such as _this—. He thought they would lia.ye fqiled in their duty if theyliad stood aloof while want. and tm.7ery Were 'st3lk -4,,ing over the land. In confirmation of this Opinion fie cited a passage from the book of gehe':_niah, where 'the prophet rebuked the rulers of the }and for their conduct in a time of scarcity, and " set a great assemblf against them," the consequence of which was that the :"-411ers listened to the cry of the people and conceded to the.7l their request. Let it not then be said that the minis ters of the everlasting Gospel were out of the Mile of their duty When they advocated the Cause of troth, and justice, and humanity.—(Applaus# , ) -He should now with the consent of the meeting •Stitte a few facts , connected with the trade of Dundee. Arid first, with regard to the state of crime. During the 1?-0 nine ' 4 'o7n years the number o f petty the ft s, as it appeared the books of the Dundee POlice Court, had tripled ; and that in spite of the most vigorous efforts of Chris tians of all denominations. Then he would refer to two public Acts of foreign States, passed in 'consequence of our Corn-laws. It was Well known that the first strin gent Corn-law was passed in 1815, and in 1816 the Ame rican Congress passed a severe law restricting the im portation of British commerce into that country ; and in the same year Prussia framed her famous commercial league, the object of which was one of decided hostility to this country. It' was well known that Brazil was. about to follow their example ; and all as measures of retaliation because we would not admit the corn and the timber, a e sugar of these countries. Ills third fact had refe to -the home trade. This point had not been su tly • pressed upon the meeting yester , He thu Lthe home trade had been more injured than the foreign trade ; and in proof of it he might men tion that it appeared from a return published in Man chester, that while a great e r quan tit y o f goo d s h a d b een exported last year than formerly, arising from the want of demand at home, no less than 150,000 fewer bales ofcotton had been disposed of at home than in former years.lVas not that an awful state of things ! For himself he might state that lie was connected with a house in Dundee which paid 33,0001. annually in wages. It had been ascertained with considerable precision, that in the years -1835 and 1836, when the price of food was cheap, two thirds of his workmen's wages were spent on provisions ; but that now, when corn had risen 60 per cent., they were obliged to' pay an additional 7,0001. a year for food ; so that instead of two-thirds of their wages nine tenths were spent .on provisions alone. Now, where did this additional 7,000/. com e f r o m ? It was clear it must be abstracted from the sum formerly spent on manufac tured articles. It could not go to the Leeds clothier, or the Manchester calico-printer; so that to that extent the home market was destroyed. If that was the case with one establishment, what would it be over the whole of Dundee, and over theeeuuntry ?—(Hear.) The effect of this was, that the manufacturer dismissed his workmen, so that the rise in the price of food acted injuriously in two ways—it abridged the comforts of one class, and it threw another class out of work altogether. After some farther observations, he called upon The Rev. Mr. HARVEY, of Glasgow, who moved the fourth resolution in a lengthened address. Bailie GREIG, of Perth, seconded the resolution. Rev. Dr.' TAYLOR, of Auchtermuchty, did not mean to detain the meeting_ with a lengthened address; but as there were no other speakers from his part of the coun try, he begged to lay before them a few facts connected with Auchtermuchty and its neighbourhood. The po pulation of the parish amounted to 3,355. Of these 1,140 were engaged as hand-loom weavers, and of these one fifth part were now out of employment. In 1815, the wages of - these people averaged 14s. per week; now they did not Amount to more than 4s. 2d. per week But besides these there were a number of females ai aged persons who were not engaged in weaving but in winding bobbins; their wages was but a scanty pittance even in the best of times; what it was now he would leave the meeting .to imagine. The usual food of the people, he was credibly informed, was potatoes—oat meal they scarcely ever saw; and anything approach ing more to the nature. of a luxury was altogether unknown. Even potatoes would not be procured. if it were not that the people have generally . small plots of garden ground, on which they are reared. Newburgh, he believed, was still worse than Auchtermuchty. Much might be said on the moral and religious aspect of this question. It put a barrier in the way of children attend ing school, and parents attending church, from the want of decent _clothing ; and it hardened their hearts against religiousimpressions. • As a minister of the Gospel, he felt-himself hampered and fettered in the circulation of the doctrinal truths of the Gospel. :Surely a minister was not out of his duty, when he inculcated on his people the duty : of, contentment ; and yet he. declared that for some time past he had never ventured to speak ,on the subj cot: 7 -(U reat applause.) Let him not be misunderstood. He had never attempted to speak, on the subject, of con tentment m l ithout first attempting, as Ri c h ar d Baxter says, to demulse their hearts by an awkward expla nation of what contentment did not imply, as well as of what it did.—(Renewed applause.) Be could not attempt to excite the gratitude of his people fOr God's bounties, without first being compelled to tell them that the distress they suffered did not result ftlom the Di- vine arran g ements, but from th e l aws o f men . He felt restrained, when leading the public devotions, from using such expressions as this—" He filleth their hearts with food and gladness" because he was afraid that instead of exciting emotions of gratitude to God, he should only excite resentment against a class of men who were regarded as the authors of all these evils.— (Hear, hear.) He was satisfied that the people knew who were the real authors of all their sufferings. He kneW this, because those who wished to go deeper than Merely repealing the Corn-laws, objected to them being touched, lest by the abolition of this great practical grievance the people would cease to agitate for any thing more.—(Great applause.) Dr. HEUGU, after some preliminary remarks, said, the general argument against the Corn and Provision— laws had been handled,' and will be handled, by others. To them I leave this argument, on the ground of the essential injustice of all monopolies. The one view of these laws to which I shall advert, is their enormous pressure on the industrious and poorer classes of the British - community, and the consequent immorality of their character. The direct object of these laws is to enhance the price of the necessaries of life—is to every consumer to pay more for these articles than, but for these laws, he would require to pay. Many things about their working, and about the mode and results of their abolition, are disputed ; respecting this, their designed object, there is, and there can be, no dispute.. If a fixed duty is imposed, the design of the impost is to add its own amount to the price paid for it. If the pre sent sliding scale be preferred, or any modification of it which may seem good to the Knight of Drayton Manor —(Laughter)—as the price falls the impost rises ; and it does not cease till corn has attained the rate which de notes scarcity and menaces starvation. I repeat it, then, the direct, declared, undeniable and undenied object Of these laws is to raise the price of food in Great Britain. —(Hear,' hear.) The increase of price thus by force of laW effected has been shown to be very great. Those,. I think, who have attended most closely to the subject have shown that the price of corn in this country is raised about 40 per cent. by the existing Corn-law ; that is to say, we are forced to pay 51. for what we should otherwise procure for 31., or 125.. 'or what we could, were these laws repealed, get for Bs. This is an enormous pressure of taxation affecting the whole cemmunity. In the payment o f thi s t ax tlfbre is neither 'drawback nor evasion. It affects the Whole mass of consumers ; but it presses with accumulating weight just as you descend in the scale of society, and crushes with its full weight those at the bottom of the scale, the poor and helpless.—(Hear, hear.) The Rev. Doctor at some length contended that the Corn operated as an income tax on the poor of from fir teen to twenty per cent., while it diminished cas you as cended the settle of society, till among . the' rieh'it becalm: . imperceptible ; and their necessar y eff ect is to produce scarcity, straits, and di scom f o rt among the laborious; and to spare the rich. The laws of man ought not tb op pose the known will and laws of G o d. Th e mora l l aw of God is the expression of his own character, wise,just, and , and good.. If the exposition which has been given of the nature and operation of these enactments be just, can we come to any other conclusion than this very so— lemn one—that they are in direct opposition to the known character of th e S u p reme Ruler, that they are di rect violations of his will and law? Can the righteous God sanction the unjust laws of his creatures? .Can the God of mercy sanction oppression? Can He who has revealed himself as the guardian of the poor, who has taught us to celebrate the government of his Son in such strains as these, " He shall judge the poor of the people ; he shall save the children of the needy, and break in pieces' the oppressor ?"—can He approve of those unrighteous and merciless statutes which spread oppression and suf fering through every cottage in the land ?—(Hear.) The very worst form that injustice and 'oppression can as sume is that of laws which involve and sanction them. In this ease you set at nought this appointment of the Supreme huler, " He that ruleth among men," be he Prince or Senator, " should be just, ruling in the fear of God.". You pia& your authority in the perilous posi tion of antagonism to His—you so multiply difficulties in the way of redress, as to render a lifetime of labour neces sary to accomplish it—you produce the wish of national eenvulsion—and, more than all, you all the while expose your country to the gathering storm of the Divine indig nation, proclaiming in vain, "Cease to do evil ; learn to do well ;. put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes." For myself, so strongly am I convinced of the flagrant wickedness in the sight of God which. these laWs include,"that if-no othei object were to'begained by this Conference than to record our solemn protest against this national sin, I think the end would justify the means. We do record our protest. Before God'and man we dis avow these wicked laws ; we never consented to them ; we never shall. On other heads than ours the responsi bility of their formation, their continuance, their enor mous wrongs, must rest. All we wish is-4heir repeal for ever.—(Cheers.) He condemned the view taken by the higher ranks of the aristocracy, that these laws are in favour of the country, and that they are objected to only by clamorous manufacturers and discontented ope- THE SOIREE, In the evening a soiree of the members and friends of the Conference was held in the Waterloo Rooths, which was crowded on the occasion. John Dunlop, Ego., presided as Chairman. William Ewart, Esq.,' M.P., addressed the meeting on the injustice and im policy of laws made for the advantage of the few at he expense of the many ; the best means of accom plishing the removal of the grievances created by class legislation ; and of obtaining equal laws for, and the re cognition of the just rights of, all classes.—The Reverend William Lindsay Alexander, on the testimony of reason, scripture, and history, against laws tending to heighten the price of food in a nation.—The Rev. krancis Muir, on the influence of free trade in extending and perpe tuating the blessings of peace among the nations of the world.—Mr. Wallace, M.P., urged the ladies to unite in agitating on this question.—The Rev. Robert Wilson, of Greenock, addressed the meeting on the influence of free trade in extending the lights of science, and in dif fusing the principles of civil and religious liberty all over the world ; and George Thompson, Esq. on its influ ence in disseminating the blessings, and in accelerating the triumphs, of Uhristianity over the earth., The meet ing did not separate till near midnight. FRANCE. ' CHAMBER OF PEERS. CONTINUATION OF THE DISCUSSION ON THE ADDRESS. M. Cousin, former colleague of M. 'niers, then rose o -:av a few words in vindication of the policy which he Cabinet of the Ist of March had followed with re ;ard to Eastern affairs, and appealed to inexorable his .... - ory to do justice to that Cabinet. The following paragraph was then put to the vote:— " Your Majesty has ordained important diminutions in :he public burdens. These diminutions, however, have lot sufficed to establish the equilibrium in the receipts and expenditure of the State, which is as necessary as it is universally desired. We will endeavour to obtain this equilibrium without reducing our military, and naval strength beneath what is requisite for the dignity .of France, and without postponing the public works which are called for by the country." M. Cousin proposed, that after the words, " we will endeavour to obtain this equilibrium," there should be added "without weakening our military organization,'' &c. ,Marshal Soult was of opinion that the address went even ftirther than the speech from the throne in its illu sion to the question under consideration, and then pro-. ceeded to give the following explanation of the Ordinance relative to the army, dated the Bth of September :—He • said, " The intent of this Ordinance is not a new organi zation of the army, as has been said, but a fixation of the cadres. In propdsing it to the King I had not the slightest idea of infringing the rights of the Chambers : I acknowledge, as has been observed by M. Dupin, and: as is my duty, that the Chambers must necessarily be called upon in voting the required credits to give its de cision upon the effective force of the army. But the question of cadres is distinct from that of the effective force, and by no means operates upon it. In fact, the cadres, as defined by the Ordinance of September 8, bear_ a proportion of no more than one-fourth to the effective army. Hence it ensues, that when the Government demands a credit for the maintenance of a certain force, it belongs to the Chamber to grant or refuse it ; but it is only upon the effective force it has to decide, and not upon the organization of the cadres. The Marshal concluded by saying, that before the end of the year 1842 all the officers would be replaced, and that at the present moment 309 had been already placed on the list .of active service 7 -that was to say, of the cadres of 300 companies,: 103 had bee? replaced. The real force of the army, he said, was intact, for there would be 504,000 disposable men on the reserve, but un paid, who would be reviewed twice a year, and always ready for service. M. Cousin then withdrew his amendment, and the paragraph was carried without further - opposition. The following paragraph was then read:— " The extension of the commercial relations of France is the object of your Majesty's solicitude. Negotiations are proceeding by your order. Your profound wisdom does not lose sight of the necessity of maintaining the protection secured to national labour by a legislation which, by guaranteeing the security of our agricultural and manufacturing interests, has so powerfully contri= buted to the wealth and prosperity of France." The Marquis de Boissy asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if the proposed commercial treaty with Belgium had been abandoned ? lie entreated him to put an end to the alarm which the announcement of this treaty had, said the Noble Peer, created in the country. Count d'Argout said, the first principle of the ccifin;ry, connected with industry, was protection—not permanent and exaggerated protection, but such as would be suffi- ] cient to preserve it from ruin by foreign competition.. The Noble Peer then took a review of the position of Belgiuni, which had, he said, been brought to a financial crisis by false speculation, and added, that althoUgh from what he had said it was not to be laid down as a principle 'that France could enter into no commercial treaty with. Belgium,,still it would be well not to allow, that country to indemnify itself for its recent losses at the expense of the French nation. He concluded by saying that it was impossible to make any new conces sions to Belgium without injury to the commercial inte rests of this country. Baron Daunant now said, from his place, that he had a proposition to submit to the Chamber, foUnded on Art. 15 of the law of March 25, 1822, in virtue of which he re quested the Chamber to call to its bar the responsible Editor of a journal, who had that day inserted an insult ing article upon the Chamber. The Noble Peer having ascended the tribune at the request of several Peers, then said,—The Chamber, in the performance of its duties, is habituated to calumny, but if it has frequently disdained to punish, it has sometimes thought fit to repress insult when too outrageous against one of the powers of the State. - To-day, Gentlemen, I have to direct your atten tion to an article which attacks, in the highest degree, the respect due to the Chamber. It is in the Siecle, and is as follows :—" The public does not require to be in formed that the Chamber of Peers, although embellished by the moderation of M. Merilhou, the gravity of M. Viennet, and the profound wisdom of M. d'Alton Shee, has been long absorbed in the importance of the Court ofPeers, This reflection dispenses us from enlarging on the sort of political' conversation which has taken place in the Salon du LuxeMbourg on the occasion, on a piracy of the speech from the throne, called the Address of. the Chamber of Peers. We have, upon all that has been said, only one regret to express; it is, that men who, like the Prince de la Moskowa, show themselves to be • animated by truly patriotic feelings, cannot make them selves heard at another tribune. We have also only one remark to make; it is, that a certain Monsieur Boissy, who has been created a Peer solely because he is rich, has stated that amongst the enemies of the Government figure in.the first line those who do not possess property. It is a great crime, it seems, in the eyes of this person age and many others, not to possess vast domains and rents like him. In fact, is it conceivable that people who have nothisq, should be so audacious as to think that the ALLEGED ABSTRACTION OF DEAD BODIES. On Friday a Special General Meeting of the Directors and Guardians of the poor of the parish of St. Maryle bone, took place in the board-room of the - workhouse, New-road, for the purpose of considering the Report of a Committee appointed in November last, with respect to the cases of the dead bodies of paupers sent, under the . - 10ers of the in s p ec t or -G eneral appointed under the A i :se:aunty Act, to various Medical Schools, for anato mica.‘ .examination. • Mr. \THRONE having been appointed to the Chair, a letter rods read from the solicitor of Mr. Foster, a. medical g e l it,:r.unan and a vestry man o f S t. M ary l e b one, who was in attOdance to support th e a ppli cat i on, pray ing to be furnishii.l ! with all the do cuments i n t h e passes ! sion of the Board, as .7lso permission to have the evidence of some of its officers in .the matter, in supp or t o f charges made by him-the subject ::aving been taken up by the Secretary of State for the blpme Department, and a. Commission appointed to investigate it, before whom he would have to appear by Counsel. Mr. THORNE, the Secretary, proceeded to read the Report of the Committee, which referred to the various regulations adopted by the Board with respect to the disposal of bodies of paupers under the Anatomy Act. Amongst them were the following :—" That a pauper dying in the workhouse, having no relation, should be delivered up for the purposes of. anatomy. That no officer be permitted to send a body for such purpose without the Board, or at the least two membms; of the Board, shall have ascertained that such enoo c :-ime under the provisions of the 7th, ,Sth, and 9th sec dorm of the Anatomy Act ' and that bodies, aft er under going. examinati on , should be returned for the purposes of Christia,n bdrial." The Committee, on instituting in quirieS; found that the resolution of the Board had been adopted up to the 28th November, 1839, forty-sik being removed. Since that period eight bodies had bevia removed for the purpose of anatomy, from - that work house, none' of which the Committee regret to state had'. been returned, and they, moreover, find that the !last mentioned eight bodies, viz.: Wm. Adamson, age4 7 32 ; Jas. Wormall, 72 ; Ann Jackson, 18 ; Eliz. Cansey, 64 ; Eliz. Stevens, 56; Ann Groves, 50; Ann Stevens, 68; and Sarah Cams, 52, have been interred in Globe-fields, in the parish of Stepney, as appears by certificates pro duced to them. On the 24th of November last the Committee had been attended by Mr. Foster, a Vestry- Man, who stated he had charges to make against the me dical officers and master of the workhouse ; as well as Dr.. Somerville, the Inspector of Anatomy, and particularly with respect to the body of Elizabeth Stevens, her body being sent out for dissection within twenty-four hour& after death, to the Xinnerton-street School, in defiance of the Anatomy Act, which prescribed forty-eight hours. Th e c orn,,nittee found, with respect to this case, that the subject died Pn the 22d of December, at one, -A.m., and was removed on the 23d, at nine, P.M., forty-four hours af t er death, and four lass than the Act required. Mr. roster farther stated, that the body of Wm. Adamson was sent out minus of head, thorax, and abdomen. The Committee find that a Coroner's .Inquest had been held on. this body, its head. hating been examined, the anatomical meaning of the terms "no head, thorax, and abdomen," being that these parts already examined, were anatomi cally :peaking of no further use to a teacher. The Re port, in conclusion, expressed the regret of the Com mittee that they were compelled to state that the nuts-• ters of the workhouse have not been sufficiently careful in carrying out the regulations of the Board, particalorly, in allowing tWenty-eight bodies to be returned, without provision being made for the remainder of the expense: .of !the funerals, and also allowing the last eight-men-- Hones' bodies to be interred at tilobe-fields in unconse crated ground. Although such irregularities had taken . :place, the Ccmmittee congratulated the,Board that they could not again occur, , an order having .been made _pro- . hibitine• any more bodies being given, up , for '.the pur poses of anatomy. Signed George Spencer . Smith, Chairman, Nisbett Walpole Eyre, W. Artantl f and Thomas .Langliam,.. Mr. FoTruit being called on to make any olEervations.; he wished, said, in consequence. of the chargres lie ,(Mr,. Foster) had made with respect to a Subject. Which was of . such .vast importance to the public and to science, the Secretary •of State had thought proper to appoint a com mission to investigate it, and Dr. Somerville, the Inspec tor of Anatomy, had employed Counsel, and thereforeit was imperatiie on him to do'the same, as the question • was to be conducted upon _the. dry spirit of the law. He -had conic foravard from no private or party motives, ! but upon strictly publi c gr ound s , f or th e b ene fi t o f science,. the benefit of the poor, and the people at large. His. object in appearing befbre them was to call upom them as a public Board to assist him in so important an inquiry. Ile had no doubt in the world of the truth of his allega tion, but he was called upon for proof; and he therefor e applied to the -B oar d f or permission to use certificates and documents in their possession, in order that ho might be enabled to substantiate his case Wore the Commissioners of the Secretary of State. He a;zain re peated he bad no sinister or personal motive in tire mat ter ; it was purely on public grounds. He thei•efore hoped the. Board would not stand in the way of public investigation. -- The report of the Committee having been adopted,. The• Rev. E. SCODELL said the subject was one of the greatest importance, in his opinion, that had ever come under , public notice, and that Board, however 'it Might be implicated, ought not to stand in the way of public. inquiry. With regard to the disposal of the bodies in .the ground at Globe-fields, he should like to know! in what position the Board were to stand; whether or no they were, as it were, to be put upon their trial betive the Ecclesiastical Conimissioners. Mr. FOSTER said - the Board could not possibly be im plicated in the question, as the disposal of the bodies had taken place contrary to their regulations. It, however, embraced the conduct of the Guardians of the Kensing ton Union, of the parishes of Shoreditch, St. Mary, .Lambeth, and others, under the Poor-law, as well as the, Administrator of the Anatomy Act. There was a slight; error in the Report of the Committee, but which would be very material before the Commissioners. In the case of Elizabeth Stevens, the Report made the delivery of the body on the 23d of December, whereas the certifi cate of the Kinnerton-street School he had seen, showed that it was not received there till the 24th. The fact was, that instead of being sent direct to the Kinnerton- street School of Anatomy, University College had first the benefit of it, that institution being made a species of depot for subjects. Mr. THORNE, the Secretary, said the documents re quired by Mr. Foster, as also the certificates, had pre viously been handed over to the Inspector of Anatomy, for the purpose of being placed in the hands of the Se cretary of State. Mr. FOSTER said that was very unfortunate, as those documents and certificates were the very :things upon: which his complaint was founded. He could not expect, Dr. Somenille to use them otherwise than to support his own case. He was therefor!' bound to 'produce the best evidence he could, which he consideredwicarld , be a, copy of the report read that day,. and the evidenee-of the Secretary of the Board. : •; . The CHAIRMAN considered the report would he' - a -com plete answer. • Mr. W. EYRE thought very differently.- It could not be a complete answer, inasmuch as it showed great tic ,gleet of duty. In answer to other questions from members of the Board, Mr, FOSTER stated, that the Commission would not re ceive his single affirmation or oath, and, therefore, in the absence of the certificates and other documents, the Re- port, supported by the evidence of the Secretary, might be sufficient.- If it was not, be should feel it his duty to petition Parliament to appoint a Commission to call for the production of all evidence, as he was determined not to let the matter rest. If this were granted, he believed, with the other evidence he possessed, he should be able to make out his case, that Within a period of 17 months, no less than 254 bodies of paupers had been deposited in Globe-fields in defiance of the law, and that bodies had been removed improperly for the purpose of profit. The Rev. E. SCOBELL thought the Board were bound to lend every endeavour in so important an inquiry, to elucidate the facts, and he would move that the applica tion of Mr. Foster be acceded to. Mr. ARTAND seconded the proposition. It was true that with regard to the charges against the Inspector of Anatomy they could have no control ; but he trusted, with regard to the neglect of their own officers, it would become a matter of future inquiry. —(Hear, hear.) Mr. W. EYRE was not opposed to giving every facility to the inquiry; but as the correctness of the Report of the Committee had been disputed, it ought to be sent back to them. Mr. SKINNER trusted such a proposition as the last would not be contemplated, as it would entirely shackle investigation on the part of the Board. If bodies were sent from workhouses for such a purpose, they had no right to be used improperly for the mere purposes of profit. Messrs.
