Mullins and Paddison, I, Great James-street, Bedford-row. The Esteblishment will be open for business as soon as the pre mises ant internal arrangements are completed. As stated la their more detailed prospectus, the Directors confidently expect to be able to realise an amply remunerative return to the proprietors. but they do not desire inordinate profit. They will labour for the former as an essential condition of the prosperity of the Institution :—they Would decline the latter as being inconsistent with its leading: object, which is to diffuse its advantages among the greatest possible num ber, not of shareholders only, but of custepaers also. The Royal British Bank chiefly seeks—without competing with, or attempting to rival, the existing Joint-Stock Banks, and to whorls the public are largely indebted—to invite the very numerous class engaged in trade, or other active pursuits in the metropolis, who do not at nresent bank at all, to avail themselves of the facilities in business, and of the social benefits, which" keeping a banker," assuredl, confers :—to induce those who have not yet thought of it. to endeavour to acquire a habit of prudent accumulation : and to offer to those who have already attained to this virtue among the middle and hurabler classes, not only a place of safe deposit for their accum ilations, but a fair return for the use of these—arising front their distribution amongst the in dustrious, energetic, honest, and moral men, whose p avers are unde veloped, and they and their families depressed, solely from the want, in many cases, o' a little capital opportunely supplied. A portion comparatively small, of the unemployed surpluses of even the humble depositors in Savings Banks, would, if discreetly lent to such persons as those above mentioned, raise the condition in life of multitudes in London, and by making them not only more useful citizens but better men, benefit societ, at large, and, by causing much that is now inert and unproductive to become active and fruitful, increase the capital and the wealth of the country. Such are the objects of the Royal British Bank. Having, by the favour of the Cro a - n, been not only incorporated, but privileged to increase their capital from time to time as their operations extend, the Di rectors purpose thoroughly testing the applicability of the principles on which the corporation is founded, to the metropolis, before open ng branches elsewhere. Though their plan be new in London, and embraces features Which are not to be found in any one Bank hitherto established any- Where, the Directors are so satisfied of their soundness and public Utility, that they are convinced it is only necessary to exhibit them in practice, to win all to their opinion. To do so lastingly it must be done gradually. They will, theref,re, proceed by steps—if slow yet sure—preferring certainty to speed, and remembering that the oak was at firs• but an acorn. While the Directors address more particularly the classes formerly alluded to, yet the business of the liank is to be conducted en prin ciples which will enable all others to avail themselves of the usual banking facilities. It is, however, the earnest desire of the Directors that the humblest customer who brings but his occasional deposit of a pound, be treated by all in the Establishment with the attention and consideration which the wealthy can at all times command for themselves. The rates of interest, &c., to be charged on advances, and al lowed on accounts and deposits, must of coarse vary with the state of the market, and the value of money, which so frequently fluc tuates; but at opening, the Directors propose that the following shall be their TERMS OF BUSINESS : Drawing or Current Accounts—One per cent. Interest reckoned rom day to day, to be allowed en all balances constant for six months, of 1001. and upwards; and two per cent. on all such balances exceeding 2001. ; but the permanent miiutenance of any balance will not be insisted on. This point will be optional with the customer. Deposit Accounts—Three per cent. reckoned daily, on all deposits for six months, and the interest paid monthly, or accumulated half yearly, at the option of the depositor. Cash Credit Accounts will be granted to respectable parties, sup ported by two or more sufficient sureties as joint obligors, at five per cent. interest on advances, and one per cent. commission on the amount of the credit. Advances or Leans on Promissory Notes with marketable securi ties readily convertible, will be made at rates proportioned to the nature and value of the security in each ease. Discounts of Bills of Exchange will be at the rates of the day. Remittanzes will be made to, and Bills collected in any place in England, Scotland, or Ireland, where there is a banker. Dividends, &c., will be received for customers or shareholders, Without charge. No charge will be made for keeping accounts ; nor any fee nor gratuity allowed to be received from a customer or applicant by any one in the Bank's employment. - - Applications from several of the metropolitan districts for the es tablishment of Branch Offices. are now under consideration. Forms of applications for the opening of accounts, &c., on the commencement of business, are now ready to be supplied at the Bank, or will be sent by post to any one who may require them. By order of the Court of Directors, HUGH INNES CAMERON, General Manager. A WINTER STOCK. I went to MOSES' noted Mart, Right facing Aidgate Clock, An , l marked the va•ious goods which form The present Winter Stock. And having seen it, don't suppose I felt inclined to mock; For certainly I ne er saw • So prime a Winter Stock. The novel, stylish Over-coats, The Dress-coats, and the Frock, Are r ally such as never graced A former Winter Stock. For Vests and Trowsers such as these, My wardrobe I'll unlock ; And so will you, when once you glance At MOSES' Winter Stock. For those who take the gun iu hand To tire at hen or cock, Superior Shooting-coats there are In MUSES' Winter Stock. ?rime Boots and Shoes I also saw, As solid as a rock ; And famous arts Elate formed part Of MOSES' Winter Stock. MOSES and WIN have first-rate Fars, For which th' Ladles flock ; And s ,lendid Shawls and nosier,* form A portion of the stock.

The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and .re as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PRE MIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the , remiums • with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p aid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the 2 onvernence of the assured. or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifl.:e. WhOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a , pecifled age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.

The barony and estate of Islay, comprising the island of Islay and small Adjacent islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and Glasgow, and is one of the richest and most produetive properties in the west of Scotland. It contains about 140,000 acres, of which 34,00 e are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture. The present rental of this magnificent property amounts at present to 20,0001.; but a Government grant of 30,00 01 . is now being ex pended in rainage &pi improvements. The rents aro periodically and legitimately increased as the leases fall in, and it is evident that such a property must, under improved agriculture, afford a much larger return. The purchase, it is expected, will be effected for about 500,0001., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose, and contingent expenses, of 600,0001., in 12,000 501. shares, each shareholder to nominate a life, and the whole body of Nominees to be insured out of the rectal, so as to secure the repayment of his ~ü bseription to every shat eholder whose nominee lapses. The remainder of the accumulated rental is to be divided every ten years amongst the surviving Shveholders, the last survivor to inherit the estate. On the bast, ol 12,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000 nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general business of a life assurance company, so as to secure an annual dividend of profits. . . . . . _ Thus It will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton tine, will, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of in terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of the general life assurance department (and the basis and guarantee indicated cannot fail to 'Rake this branch most extensive and :ucra tive) ; he will, moreover, participate, every ten years h's nominee sarvives, In the accumulated and constantly improving rental ; and, in the ev. nt of his nominee beim; the last survivor, will become the abSo'ute owner, in fee simple, of the entire estate. It is also to he observed that, as the nominees diminish In number, the marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en hanced. The principles of the proposed Tontine have been matureiy con sidered by P. G. P.

ERRORS IN OPENING OYSTERS.—IS it not strange that people persevere in customs dictated, in the first instance by ignorance, and maintained by popular pre judice? For instance, in the matter of opening oysters what a gross—and to the epicure what a fatal blunder— the fishmonger commits in separating the fish from the under shell!. It he would take the trouble to inform himself on the anatomy of the oyster, he would find that it does not lose its life on being opened. but dies directly it is separated from the under shell. He may prove this to his satisfaction by touching the beard of the fish after he has opened it, and he will find that it contracts, shrinking from the touch of steel. Lot him, therefore, for the future cease to torture the epicure by sending him in dead oysters. They should come to table fixed to the under shell, and so preserve all their delicious qua lities.—Knife and Fork.

THE FIRST BLAST OF WINTER." --The hills round Kendal and the lake district have been rather thickly mantled with snow during the past week, and the tem perature is much lower. Many of t he lake visitors have already migrated, swallow-like, at the first touch of the nipping blast, though a good many still remain for the chance of a fine day or two more. Oar Brough correspondent says that on Stainmore the snow was dricted three feet deep.— Westmoreland Gazette. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. YORK AND NORTII MIDLAND. Yesterday a meeting of shareholders in this com pany resident in York was held at ;the Black Swan, in that city, for the purpose of considering the means to be adopted for securing the welfare of this company. Mr. Am.'s was called to the chair, and he briefly addressed the meeting, the object of which was fully stated by Mr. C. WILLIAMS, who said the present state of this company's affairs was such as to call for an ex pression by the shareholders as to what step shall be taken. It came to the knowledge of some of the shareholders that there was a difference of opinion betwixt the committe of investigation and :the direc• tors, which consisted chiefly as to who should be the chairman of the company. The shareholders were all aware that on the retirement of the old directors a considerable effort was made to place the present Lord Mayor of York (Mr. James Meek) and Mr. Joseph Rowntree (also of York) upon the board. When the shareholders were informed that the committee con sidered the Lord Mayor ineligible for the office of chairman, it did appear that as they had taken rather active steps in recommending him to that position they ought certainly to be ready to support him the chair. The object of this meeting, therefore, was to consider what are the best steps to be taken to conti nue the services of the Lord Mayor. As soon as some of the shareholders heard that the Lord Mayor had been requested to relin quish the office of chairman, a few of them met in York, and from that mooting a deputation was sent in the first place to the Lord Mayor, re questing him not to resign the office of chairman ; and, in the second place, the deputation waited upon the directors, requesting them not to accept the re signation of the Lord Mayor. This deputation was charged with a resolution showing that, in the opinion of the shareholders who had held that meeting, the Lord Mayor was quite eligible for the situation to which he had been appointed. The result of this measure was so far satisfactory that the Lord Mayor's resignation was not accepted, but is held in abeyance until the opinion of the shareholders is known upon the subject. It would seem that some time after the deputation to which he had referred had thus waited upon the directors, the committee of investigation intimated to the directors that they still held their former opinion with regard to the ineligibility of the Lord Mayor, and that they should take an opportunity to consult the shareholders thereupon ; and they had requested the directors to call a special meeting. .This had been done by advertisement, and he was informed that the main object of that meeting was to consult the shareholders with regard to the eligi bility of the Lord Mayor as chairman of this com pany. The objection urged against the Lord Nlay or is that he is a director of the Great Northern Reilvvay. Now, whatever may be the opinions formed with regard to the general principle of having a director of one company who is a director of another, no one who knew the position of this line in relation to the Great Northern and the East and West Lancashire would come to the con clusion that an exception to the general rule should not be taken, and that the connexion of the Lord Mayor rendered him particularly eligible for :he office of chairman of this company's board of di rection.—(Cheers.) Tinder the circumstances in which they w ere now placed, it did seem very im portant that the shareholders should be apprised of what was going on in York, and that they should be made acquainted with the perilous condition of their property. It would be seen the committee and directors were opposed to each other on what he held to be a very important point, an I therefore it seemed expedient to draw up an address to be sent to each shareholder, explaining the circumstances under which the question of the board of direction stands, and to call upon them to withhold their consent from any proposition, and not to sign any proxies, until the matter is fully brought before them by the board of directors. The committee are about to publish another report, and they were about to send out proxies to the shareholders throughout the country. If this were carried out, and 3,000 shareholders signed these proxies, the committee of investigation would be able to carry the point, and deprive the shareholders of the services of their present chairman. With these views an address had been prepared, which he would now read. [Mr. Williams then read the address, the substance of which is contained in the speech above.] Ho concluded by moving that the address be printed and circulated among the shareholders. Mr. J. IL TIIKE seconded the motion. Mr. WILLIAMS, in answer to a question by Mr. Watson, said he believed there was no difference as to i the desirableness of retaining:the services of the Lord Mayor. In the course of a short discussion it was urged that the committee ought not to put the company to an expense of 3751. for stamps alone by issuing proxies, when a circular containing the question proposed would answer the same purpose. The address was unanimously adopted. Mr. CHAMPNEY then moved that a deputation wait upon: the committee of investigation, to press upon their attention that in the present depressed state of the company they would not be justified in putting the company to the expense of stamped proxies in ascertaining the wishes of the shareholders. Mr. CHARLTON seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously. The meeting shortly afterwards separated. LIMERICK, ENNIS, AND KILLALOE. At a meeting of the directors of this company, held at Limerick o❑ Friday, it was unanimously resolved to adopt measures for winding up the affairs of the company. The adoption of such a measure was strongly urged cn the directors, but without effect, by several shareholders, more than twelve months ago. The Act of incorporation was obtained in the session of 1846, authorising. the company to raise 300,0001. on shares, and 100,0001. on loan, for the construction of 37 miles of railway. EDINBURGH AND BATIIGATE. The adjourned meeting of this company was held on Friday at Edinburgh, to receive the report of the scrutineers, appointed at the last meeting, to ascer tain the state of the poll on a motion to the effect that a statement of the company's affairs in relation to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company, with regard to the proposed amalgamation of the two companies and the terms recommended by the directors, be forthwith printed and circulated among the shareholders. Mr. J. Stewart was in the chair. It appeared from the report that six persons, repre senting 352 shares, and giving 106 votes, were in favour of the motion, and four persons representing 106 shares, and giving 42 . votes, were against it. There was a majority in favour of the motion of 64 votes. The 3,087 shares held by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company, representing 326 votes, were not allowed to be used on the e‘tcasion. The CHAIRMAN said that every information which the shareholders required should be laid before them. H thought it desirable for the shareholders to hav - every information on the subject, and that a copy of the minutes should be given in preference to any other report, as giving a fair statement of what took place in the committee appointed to draw up the state ment referred to. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded tha proceedings. EILEAN AMA S.—LIBERALITY OF SIR H. PEEL.— We understand that Sir Robert and Lady Peel intend leaving Eilean Aigas on Monday next. The Right Hon. Baronet has forwarded a draft for 501. to Mr. Kennedy, Croyard (factor for Lord Lovat), for the benefit of the poor. In transmitting this very liberal benefaction, Sir Robert requests that Mr. Ken nedy will undertake, "in communication with the ministers of the several religious congregations to apply it to the relief, during the approaching winter, of those of the poor living in the neighbourhood of Eilean Aigas and of Struy, who may be most in ❑eed of it." Sir Robert adds, " the trifle they will receive from me will, I trust, be in addition to the aid on which they would have a claim from any other source," This generosity on the part of the Right Hon. Baronet must entitle him still more to the gratitude of the poor around Eilean Aigas, to whom he has already been a liberal benefactor. The charities of Lady Peel will also be long remembered; and it may be said, with all sincerity, that no family visiting the north ever secured a more affectionate interest in their welfare or greater respect than the family of Sir Robert Peel. The uniform courtesy, affability, and benevolence that have marked their intercourse with the people are truly above all praise. THE MOORS.—The Perth Courier states, that most of the sporting parties in the Highlands have now re turned south again, after a season of average sport. The birds were well advanced, and wild from the commence ment; so that, although there were few heavy bags on any particular day, the general sport was more to the taste of the true sportsman. Partridge shooting has now taken the place of grouse, and they are more abun dant than for ten years past. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean have been performing at Portsmouth with extraordinary success. The houses wero so crowded that the manager converted the pit into stalls, all of which were instantly let at box prices. Mr. and Mrs. Kean will shortly appear at the Haymarket Theatre, but have previous engagements in Birmingham and Dublin. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

The ring assembled as usual in front of the rooms, but the betting was not remarkable for any great fluctuations; four horses, however, were decidedly in force, viz., the two favourites, Glenalvon and Lady Evelyn—the outlay on these was heavy; Glen Saddel and Esse.larius were also in some favour, at improved prices.

[PRICE OD. FRANCE and the UNITED STATES The following are the last three letters of the cor respondence of the French and American Governments with reference to M. Poussin : " M. DE TOCQUEVILLE TO MR. RUSH. (Translation.) " Paris, August 9. " Sir,--I have received with the letter which you did me the honour to write me on the 7th of last month, the copy of the correspondence which has taken place between the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of the United States and the Minister of France at Washington, upon the subject of two claims which the latter had been charged to present to the Federal Government—one against the irregular detention of the French ship L'Eugenie, by Commo dore Carpender, off Vera Cruz ; and the other for the purpose of asking for an indemnification in favour of M. Porte, a French merchant, for the abrogation of the sale of a certain quantity of tobacco struck off to him by the commander of the American forces at Puebla. "These two affairs having hitherto been discussed at Washington, where they are to be concluded, it is not my province to examine their merits. Besides, I am too certain of the integrity of the Government of the Union to doubt that it will ultimately acknow ledge every claim founded in right; and,'on'its:part, it cannot think that the French Government allows itself to be drawn, by the desire of protecting its subjects, to support pretensions the justice of which has nut been demonstrated to it. " These sentiments of reciprocal confidence being of a nature to avert and prevent, in the discussions of private interests, those susceptibilities and misunder standings which cannot fail to complicate them, we have seen, with as much astonishment as regret, the turn which the communications exchanged between our Envoy and Mr. Clayton have taken. Even before I had received the letter which which you have written to me to call my attention to them, M. Poussin had transmitted copies of them to me. I had been painfully impressed to find in that corre spondence a tone of acerbity and harshness very little conformable to the friendly relations between the two countries; but I ought to say, without entering into useless recriminations, without seeking fur the side whence the first injuries proceeded, it had ap peared to me that this observation was not alone applicable to the letters written by the Minister of France. " M. Poussin, doubtless misconstruing some ex pressions in those which have been addressed to him by the Secretary of State, believed he saw in them a want of respect, for which he may have manifested his resentment with too much spirit ; but, if a passage of his letter of the —of April may have hurt Mr. Clayton, it seems to me that there is no longer any ground to take advantage of it against him after he has consented to withdraw it ; and he has given a pretty signal proof of his conciliatory spirit in ab staining from animadversion upon an expression in the answer addressed to him by that Minister on the 21st cf April, which, estimated with a certain degree of susceptibility, might have seemed to be rather an imperious summons than a diplomatic invitation. " Furthermore, Sir, it is not necessary for me to tell you that I entirely concur in the opinion which you express upon not deviating . in negotiations from the observances and forms of a benevolent courtesy, " I invite M. Poussin never to forget this rule in his intercourse with the Government of the United States, and I am sure that, if it be reciprocated, the observance of it will be rendered easy to him. " Receive, Sir, the assurance of the high consider ation with which I have the honour to be, your very humble and very obedient servant, "ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE." THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE UNITED STATES TO THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF FRANCE. " Department of State, Washington, Sept. 8. " Sir,—l have received a dispatch from Mr. Rush, the American Minister in Paris, of the 13th of August, covering a note from you to him, dated the 9th of that month. Both have been submitted to the President, with the correspondence to which they relate. As Mr. Rush is returning home, and Mr. I Rives, who has been appointed to succeed him as Minister to France, has probably not et arrived in Paris, I hasten to avail myself o n y means of communication between the Governments we repre sent, by addressing you directly on the subject of your note. " You acknowledge the receipt of the correspon dence which took place between the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of the United States, and the Minister of France at Washington,' from which it must have been obvious to your mind that the latter had repeatedly and gratuitously addressed communi cations to this Government highly offensive and dis courteous both in manner and is substance. " That correspondence was submitted simply to enable your Government to decide upon the proper course to be taken in regard to its own Minister. You appear to have considered the occasion as one which called upon you to construct an apology for that Minister, by indiscriminately censuring both parties to the correspondence. You were not invited to decide as an arbiter upon the mode in which the American Government conducted that correspon dence, which was not only courteous and respectful in terms, but entirely unexceptionable in spirit ; and you could not have failed to observe that this depart • ment had not, in any instance, descended to recrimi nation, whether useless or otherwise, with M. Poussin. " Should the correspondence of any Minister of this Republic prove insulting to the friendly Govern ment of France, the Government is too confident of our desire to maintain kind relations with it to doubt that the President of the United States would feel it to be a high duty to examine the complaint, and to render a prompt and proper atonement for the injury. But the issue presented in the correspondence of M. Poussin cannot be evaded by any charge of recrimi nations. If that charge can be made with any shadow of truth, let it be separately presented, and it will be promptly and most respectfully considered. " The President instructs me to say to your Excel lency that, as from the whole tone of your communi cation to Mr. Rush, which has struck him with much surprise, it would seem that the disrespectful lan guage of the French Minister at Washington has been received with indulgence, and held worthy of palliation by the distinguished Minister of Foreign Affairs of France, who has manifested no disposition to redress the wrong, he, as the chief magistrate of the United States, feels himself now at perfect liberty, and in fact constrained, with a view to preclude opportunities which might be again abused, to per form, without any further delay, an unpleasant duty, from which he had hoped his friendly appeal to the French Government would have relieved him. " This Government is the guardian of its own honour, and as on all occasions it seeks to avoid giving cause of offence, so will it never submit to intentional disrespect. By the time this letter reaches your Excellency, M. Poussin will have been informed that no further correspondence will be held with him by the Executive of the United States, and that every proper facility will be afforded him should he desire to return to France. "The President further instructs me to express to your Excellency the friendly sentiments of himself and of this Government for the President, the Go vernment, and the people of France. He does not doubt that these kind sentiments are reciprocated by them, and he anticipates with lively satisfaction the arrival of M. Poussin's successor, with whom it will be the study of this Government to cultivate agree able and friendly intercourse, in the terms and the spirit of mutual courtesy which will be equally hon ourable to both the sister Republics. "In the meantime, prompt and respectful attention will be given to any communication touching the interests of our respective countries which may be made through any other diplomatic agent whom the French Government may see fit to select. "I avail myself of this opportunity to offer to your Excellency the assurance of my most distinguished consideration. " JOHN M. CLAYTON.' "Department of State, W 4 Washington, S e ptember 1 . " Sir,—The President has d ev olved upon me the duty of announcing to you that the Government of the United States will hold no further correspond ence with you as the Minist er of France, and that the ne cessity which has impe lled him to t ake this step at the present moment has been made known to your Government. "In communicating the President's determination in regard to yourself personally, I avail myself of the occasion to add that due attention will be cheerfully given to any communication from the Government of France affecting the interests of our respective repub lics, which may reach this department through any other channel. Your own Government will be able to explain to you the reasons which have influenced the American Executive in delaying the present com munication, until this period. The President has in structed me further to say, that every proper facility for quitting the United States will be promptly given at any moment when you may be pleased to signify your desire to return to France. " I am, Sir, very respectfully, your most obedient servant, _ _ " Join M. CLAYTON. "Mr. William Tell l'oussin, Scc." - DE-ATI-14r STAR ITA TI 0 N UND OPATHIC TREATMENT. Last eiening, at five o'clock, Mr. H. M. W:g44, deputy-coroner for Middlesex, - and a jury of inhabi tants of St. Pancras, assembled for the third time at the Perseverance Tavern, William-street, thump stead-rcad, to conclude their inquiry concerning the death of Mr. Richard David Pearce, aged thirty-four, an upholsterer, late of No. 86, Mary street, alleged to have b?en starved to death whilst under the homceo pathic treatment for cholera, adopted by his brother, Mr. Charles Thomas Pearce, an unqualified homoeo pathic practitioner, residing at No. 3, Taunton-place, Regent's-pai k. The accused was present throughout the proceed ings, accompanied by Mr. Dowding, his solicitor, and the inquiry excited throughout the neighbour hood a great deal of interest, especially amongst the medical profession. The following is an epitome of the evidence. Mrs. Jane Pearce, widow of the deceased, deposed that he was taken ill with diarrhoea and spasms of the stomach, on Saturday, the Bth ultimo. On Sunday morning, the 9th, Mr. Harris, surgeon, of Gower street, was sent for, and on arriving pronounced de ceased to be labouring under cholera. Mr. Harris saw him three times that day, and gave him medicine, and Mr. Charles Thomas Pearce, the ac cused, came the same evening. When he came, he said he should take deceased under his own care, and she believed he dismissed Mr. Harris. He told her he had taken his brother out of Mr. Harris's hands, and he then gave him a powder, giving her strict in junctions not on any:account to give deceased anything to eat or drink excepting ice water and the medicines he sent. The deceased was under his treatment for ten days previous to his death, which took place on the 18th September. During the whole of that period Mr. Pearce, the accused, refused to allow him to have anything to eat. Deceased continually craved for food, and when she appealed to the brother about it, he said if she gave him food she would kill him, and therefore she was afraid to do so. Deceased was continually crying for food, and complained that he was being starved to death. She sent for Mr. Davis, another surgeon, on the evening of the 17th, because her husband became much worse. She did give him some beef tea and some arrowroot, and the day be fore he died some toast. He was sick more than three times. lie did not get any better under his brother's treatment. Mr. James Davis, surgeon, of Ampthill-square, deposed that he was called to see deceased on the evening of the 17th ult., and found him in a very low and exhausted condition, apparently for want of nourishment. Deceased was sensible, and told him he had been starved to death by the homoeopathic system of medical treatment. Ile ordered him some brandy and water and sent him medicine, and when he saw him on the following morning, the 18th, he was dying. Could not say that he considered him labouring under cholera when he first saw deceased. On examining the body he found it much emaciated. The liver, kidneys, lungs, and right side of the heart were congested. The stomach was healthy, but all that was found in it was a small quantity of liquid matter of a brown colour, which, on being tested, proved to contain a slight portion of arsenic. In witness's opinion the cause of deceased's death was exhaustion from want of food. Was informed that all deceased had had in the shape of food was a little beef tea and some arrowroot. Considered such treat ment enough to exhaust and kill any man. The inquiry was ultimately adjourned till last evening, Mr. Harris, who first attended the deceased, being out of town ; and on the re-assembling of the j ury Mr. Harris was sworn—Finding that the brother of deceased professed the doctrine or homoeopathy, and that he wished deceased to be treated under that system, he told him he could not act in concert with him, and at his request he then gave the care of de ceased over to him. Ile could not say that deceased died of Asiatic cholera. Ile had cholera when lie (Mr. Harris) saw him, and he treated him for it. He did not give up the case because it was hopeless. Having heard the whole of the evidence read over, Mr. Harris said he certainly considered the deceased had not had sufficient food to sustain life. On the contrary, he (witness) ordered strong beef tea, arrow rout, brandy-and-water, and solids, if he could take them. Mr. Dowding, on the part of the accused, proposed to call Dr. Epps, Dr. Kelsall, and other professors of the homoeopathic system who were present, and who, ha said, would prove that the treatment of the de ceased was skilful and proper. Dr. Kelsall was swoin-:-lie said he was a professor of homecepathy, and had formerly been a surgeon in the navy. He had had many cases of Asiatic cholera under his care, and he considered the treatment pur sued by the accused proper. It was his firm conviction that it was highly improper to give food in cases of cholera. No food whatever should be given from the moment .of attack until the pa tient is convalescent. He had patients under his own care without food for a longer period than deceased, and he considered it certain death to give a patient any food whatever. To give a patient labouring under cholera arrowroot—you might just as well give him sawdust. Ile had had one hundred patients under his care, within the last two months, and had only lost ten. Mr. Dowding wished to call Dr. Epps to corrobo rate this statement, but the jury declined hearing him. The Coroner, in summing up the evidence, said it was the opinion of the most eminent and educated in the medical profession that the system of homoeopathy was a species of humbug and quackery, not founded on medical science. It had been proved that the de ceased had died from exhaustion from want of food, and the question was by whose influence the food had been withheld. The coroner then cited the judg ments of Lord Lyndhurst and several other judges, showing that if a medical man, whether qualified or not, treated a person unskilfully, and death ensued, he was guilty of manslaughter. After two hours' deliberation the jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter against Charles Thomas Pearce, who was at once committed to Newgate on the coroner's warrant. COURT OF ALP ERMEN. Yesterday a CDurt was held for the dispatch of business. STATE OF THE PRISONS. Amongst the reports of the state of the City pri sons, which were stated to be free from infectious or epidemic diseases, was the following relative to the Debtors' Prison : " The Governor respectfully reports that the num bers fir the past quarter show an increase of sixty one over the commitments of the preceding quarter, which is to be accounted for by the increased number of commitments from the Palace Court ; and although the authority of that Court to issue writs on the Ist of August la,t, and its power of commitment will cease finally on the 31st of December, yet, as by the opera tion of the Small Debts Amendment Act, the whole of the county courts of Middlesex, besides the city of London, will commit to the Debtors' Prison, the numbers committed by county court process Inuit be considerably increased. The Governor further reports, that during the past quarter the whole of the gaol has been whitewashed and cleansed according to the Act, and that his efforts to promote cleanliness have been most promptly m.t by all the prisoners, to which circumstances, aided by the atten tion of the surgeon, and the free use of the oxide of iron in the drains and closets, may, under Providence, be attributed the preservation of this prison from a single case of cholera."

EIGHT MILE MATCH IN THIRTY MINUTES FOR 25 sous. ASIDE.—Mr. George Jenks un dertook to cover four miles of turnpike-road, out and in, within half an hour's fair trotting, according to Ameri can rules. The wager was decided yesterday at Houns low, Mr. Tarling, the backer of time, choosing ends for start and finish. These were from the 14th mile stone, on the Western-road, to the 10th (near the Red Lion, at Hounslow), and returning over the same ground to finish at the 14th. Tom Spring, with a watcher, as check, was timekeeper. At starting 2 to 1 was freely off, red on the horse, but the backers of time were shy. The old black one, who has been driven three years on London stones in a hack ell), went away beautifully, and, without a single break, completed the distance in 27 minutes 9 seconds, having 2 minutes and 51 seconds in hand.
