Sie,—l tm directed by the Poor-law Commissioners to request that. you will call the early attention of the Board of Guardians, to which you act as Clerk, to the subject of the means which the Commissioners have determined to adipt for effecting the restoration of strayed children, and insane per- sons found wandering abroad, to their friends and relatives. After confer; ing with the Metropolitan Commissioners of Police, and the Commissioner of Police for the City of London, the Poor-law Commissioners have determined on issuing the order, of which three copies are herewith transmitted to you. You are requested to place one of those Copies in the hands of the Master of your Workhouse, and direct his attention to its provisions. The Commissioners of Police for the Metropolis and for the City of London, will respectively take care that all possible publicity is given to the notices forwarded to them by affixing the same at the principal Police Stations, and the Poor-law Commissioners do not doubt that the Guardians will zealously co-operate in promoting the speedy restoration of children, and helpless persons, to their parents or friends. Independently of the obvious humanity of such a measure, the Peor-law Com missioners conceive that it will have a tendency to prevent the prolonged chargeability of parties found destitute under such circumstances. The need of some measure for this purpose is proved by the fact, that in the six months of the year 1 840, from March to August inclusive, no less than 349 children were found by the Police and sent to different Workhouses within the Metro politan Police district. It will be necessary that the Master of the Workhouse and the Clerk to the Guardians should be furnished with a sufficient number of printed notices in the proper form. The Commissioners will take care to give due publicity to this circular, and to their order, by advertisement in the public papers. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, EDWIN CHADWICK, Secretary. To the Clerk of the Board of Guardians of the- To the Guardians of the Poor of the several Uriians and Pa rishes under a Board of Guardians named in the Schedule hereunto annexed. To the Churchwardens and Overseers of the several Parishes and Places comprised within the said Unions, and of the several other Parishes named in the said Schedule. To the Clerk or Clerks to the Justices of the Petty Sessions held for the Division or Divisions in which the Perishes and Places comprised within the said Unions and the other Pa rishes named in the said Schedule are situate ; and to all others whom it'may concern. In pursuance of the authorities vested in us by an Act o f Parliament, passed in the fifth year of the Reign of King Wil liam the Fourth, intituled, " An Act for the Amendment and better Administration of the Laws relating to the Poor in Eng land and Wales," we, the Poor-law Commissioners, do hereby ,Prider and Direct, as follows •Art,_ 1.--. Whenever any child supposed to have strayed, or any insane person wandering abroad whose friends or relations are unknown, shall have been received into any Workhouse be longing to any of the Unions or Parishes mentioned in the Schedule hereunto annexed, the Master or other person having charge of such Workhouse shall properly fill up Nur Notices in the Forms marked A or B respectively, hereunto annexed, and shall forthwith cause one of such Notices to be affixed on the outer gate of the said Workhorse, and shall forward one other of the same so filled up, to each of the three Police Sta tions, whether of the Metropolitan or City Police, nearest to the place where such child or insane person shall be understood to have been found. Art. `2.—• If at the expiration of twenty-four hours from the reception of such child or insane person into such Workhouse, no claim or inquiry respecting the same shall have been made at the Workhouse in which such child or insane person shall have been received, the Master or other person having charge of such Workhouse shall send a copy of the notice already filled up as hereinbefore directed to the Clerk to the Guardians of the Parish or Union to which such Workhouse may belong, and such Clerk shall immediately cause tir be prepared forty eight copies of the notice so filled up and forwarded to him, and shall forthwith transmit thirty-six copies of such notice to the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police, at their Chief Office, and twelve copies of such notice to the Commissioner of Police for the City of London at his Office. Art. 3.—ln the construction of this present Order -I.—The word " Child" shall be taken to signify every per son being or appearing to be under twelve years of age. 2.—The words " Insane Person" shall be taken to signify any idiot or other person of unsound mind.

Jan. 2, 1.41 Sir,-1 have much pleasure in stating to you that Blair's dont and Rheumatic l'ills have been of be greatest service to me. Between nine and t n months ago I became afflicted with that mo , t painful disease Sciatica; the agonising pain which I suffered in my legs and thighs for so long a pe, io 1, baffl.s any description which I can pos . ibl, give of my then miserable sate. I could eldom obtain either rest or sleep. I had the best medical advice, ncluding teat of two physicia• sin London, without obtaining any essential relief. I went to Margate, and had the best medial Advice, trying the warm bath there, and at otiser places, without obtaining any ceneflt. A short time ago I was rec mmen,:e r to try Blair's Clout and Rheumatic Pills; and wa thereby induced to purchase a box of this valuable medicine of Me srs Hammond and Co , Chemists of this town, and befo e I had taken the quantity therein contained, I was entirely free from pain, and .speedily recovered my health by taking a few more Pills, and ha, pity there ha• been no return of this di ' trming malady Y u are at liberty to publish my ca , e, in the hope thereby that this excellent m,dicine may be the means of relieving ethers 1 a n, Sir, yours, reepcctfully, J. B MisaiN, Brewer and Maltster, Dartford, Kent. r'. S.—lf I could possbply speak in stronger terms of your invalu able meth me I should be most happy, for it is impos ible for lan guage to describe the relief I have ex pnit.n, ed. The never-failing effeos of BLAIR'3 GOUT and RHEUMATIC P 1 LLS in curing every de crip ion of Gout and Rh umatisra, have secured to them a c lebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times '1 hey no only give relief in a few hours, where the patient has be n driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease, but restore , o perfect health in an incon ceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in rheumatism, either chronic or acute,lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed for every rheumatic or gouty affbction ; in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it, and there is n t a city, town, or village in the kingdom, but contains many rateful evidences of the benign influence of this medicine.

AUTION.—The extraordinary demand for kJ PARR'S LIFE PILLS has induced several shopkeep ers, of mean and dishonest principles, to try to impose en the incautious various counterfeits composed of the most per nicious ingredients, merely for the sake of reaping an extra profit, totally regardless of the dreadful consequences which must ensue. Observe, that each Box of the genuine medicine has pasted round it the Government Stamp, in which is engraved these words, PARR'S LIFE PILLS, in white letters on a red ground. None other can be genuine. In no instance has this invaluable medicino failed to effect a perfect cure where due patience and perseverance has been ex ercised. Read the following " To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills. Gentlemen,— Since I undertook the agency of this popular Medicine I can with truth aver, that it has, to my own know ledge, been a very great blessing to scores of persons in this town and neighbourhood. Indeed, so numerous are the testi monials to the virtues of Parr's Pills in the cure of inveterate disease, that many persons who had been quite hopeless of any relief, have obtained a permanent and perfect cure. To parti cularise would be useless, the eases are so numerous. One person was cured of a bad leg of 15 years' duration ; another of Rheumatism of ten years' standing ; others of Asthma, &e. &e. These are among the cures • and numerous are the cases of relief in Bilious and Liver Complaints, Sick Headache, Coughs, Colds, and Diseases of the Stomach ankDigestive Or• gans, &c. " From these facts, snore than from any mode of advertising, the sale of the Pills is daily increasing ; every person who has been benefited is anxious to recommend them, and assist his neighbour.—Enclosed is 501., which please send me in Pills by the next coach.

Tuesday there was a full attendance of the Surrey Magistrates at the Sessions-house, Newington, and amongst those present were Mr. Puckle (Chairman), Earl Lovelace, Mr. Kemble, M.P., Mr. Trotter, M.P., Mr. Hawes, M.P., Alderman Humphery, M.P., Col. Cha!loner, Sir 'l'. M. Reed, Captain Page, &c. The business brought before the Court was o f an i mportant character, and prior to its being gone into the Grand Jury were called and sworn. The CHAIRMAN, in the course of his charge to the Grand Jury, observed that there was nothing parti cular in the calendar that demanded any observation from him, except the case of an assault and riot com mitted by thirteen persons on some officers in the exe cution of their duty. He was sorry that he could not congratulate them upon the diminution of crime in this county ; he had been at some pains to compare the years 1830 and 1831 with 1840 and 1841, and making every allowance for the increase of population, he found there had been a considerable increase of crimi nals during the last two years. This fact would be a disappointment to those benevolent individuals who had exerted themselves to improve the lower orders by edu eating them. He entertained an opinion, and it was a strong one, that the children in many of our charity schools and union workhouses were too highly educated. He had seen them taught the use of the globes, geometry, geography, and other branches of learning, which could be of little or no service to them in after life, and in place of which be considered it would be much more beneficial if ahoy werataught their moral and.religious duties. He was happy to say that our prisoners bad been considerably improved. He knew that there were men who enter tained the opinion that persons who had been frequently imprisoned were irreclaimable ; he knew, however, bet. te-. By the Magistrates of Surrey an asylum had been established into which offenders were received at the recommendation of a chaplain of the prison, and they were taught trades, and furnished with the means of obtaining an honest livelihood. He was glad to say that many who had been thus treated were become good and useful members of society, and he hoped the institution would have the patronage of all who could contribute towards its support. Perhaps in a short time the subject would meet with the attention of Go vernment, and in the meantime it was the duty of the Magistrates to do all that they could to check crime in their own county. He had heard that the plan had been followed up in other counties. He heartily wished it might be supported, and attended with success. The Grand Jury then retired, and the county busi ness proceeded.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele.o, and even bad hooks. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in preof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir. —Old England. • Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely. satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of ffections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood,' &c., to the careful perusal of persona of all classes. The moral as well as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs.

From the various reports of the Governors of the different gaols in the county, it appeared that there were at present in Horsemonger•lane gaol 218 pri soners, namely, 183 males and 3.5 females ; in Brixton House of Correction 223 male and 64 females, total, 287. In the House of Correction at Uuildford, 82 males and 13 females, making 95 ; and in the Kingston gaol, 18 males and 10 females. FINANCE OF THE COUNTY. Mr. SMALLPIECE, the Treasurer of the County, re ported that after all payments the County was indebted 481/. Is. over and above the expenditure of the cur rent quarter. Mr. HAWES, M.P., said he understood that the sum of 32,000/. was insufficient to meet the county ex penses ; but it should be known that the expenditure had not increased, but that the substantial cause of the increase was the creation of new offences under new laws, to the operation of which, with an improved system of police, might be attributed the increase of the county expenses. They were also paying off the ,principal and interest upon the Lunatic Asylum. After some discussion a two-penny rate was allowed, in answer to Mr. Smallpiece's application. APPLICATION TO GOVERNMENT TO ESTABLISH ASY LUMS FOR DISCHARGED JUVENILE PRISONERS. Upon the Reports of the Visiting Justices of the se veral prisons being brought up, Mr. HAWES rose, and observed that before the Court sanctioned the report of the House of Correction at Brixton, perhaps he might be allowed to draw the attention of the Court to the large number of young offenders who had been committed to that prison ; and he held in his hand a return, to show how little effect had been produced upon them by their imprisonment. He believed that the motion he was about to preface would not only reduce the county rates, but would also diminish crime. In 1840 be found that the number of juvenile offenders committed to the several prisons in this county, amounted in number to 503 males under 17 years of age, and 76 females under the same age ; but of these no less than 284 had been previously con victed ; so that in point of fact, assuming that he could suggest any plan to the Court for the reduction of crime among this class of offenders, a diminution of the expenditure of the county funds would follow as a matter of necessity.—(Hear.) The object his motion sought to attain was to arrest the progress of crime, and prevent young offenders being re-committed.— (Hear.) The Court was aware that a very admirable system had been established in this county for the pur pose of recovering young offenders when they were dis charged from gaol. In order to show them the good that the . Asylum for the Destitute had done he would refer them to the 36 youths who had been admitted into it between the beginning of 1839 and the month of November 1841—three of them bad been placed in the Children's Friend Society, two of them had been heard of and were doing remarkably well, but no ac counts had been received from the third. He would, however, leave those three, and allude to the other 53 that were received into the Refuge, and who were employed during their stay in that Asylum in cutting wood and in Various other ways. After they left the hstitution twenty-five of them became shoemaliers, and thirteen followed tailoring, and all of them were following industrious habits. Of the fifty-three already mentioned eight had been apprenticed by the Refuge, with a premium of Si. each, and had turned out good members of society. Five of them had been sent to Canada, with proper outfits, and were doing well ; and seven had been restored to their friends. There were still twenty-four in the Refuge, who likewise pro mised to turn out well. Now, if out of the 284 juve nile offenders who had been recommitted to prison in 1840, anything like such a proportion bad been re claimed, it would have been attended with a consider able saving to the county, and the Magistrates would have had the gratification of rescuing many from that wretchedness which the repetition of crime must in evitably bring upon them. Ho called upon the Court, therefore, to memorialize the Secretary of State to give Justices the power to raise rates for the maintenance of refuges for discharged and destitute prisoners, just the same as they now can for maintaining prisons and houses of correction. It was calculated that fifty juvenile offenders would cost but 231. per head per annum, making less than 1,200/. per year, which would not re quire the sixth of a penny county rate. Mr. Hawes then alluded to the opinions of several Judges upon the necessity of discharged prisoners being provided for, and concluded by reading a memorial to the Secretary of State, embracing the chief points of his address to the Court. Mr. Jariscir seconded the 'notion. Mr. Bunco]: regretted that notice bad not been given by the Pion. Mernbei fbi'Lsnbetis Of his inten tion to bring forward this motion. He should be sorry to be supposed to be objecting to it, but he could not consent to concur in it without giving it his most serious and attentive consideration. He begged to urge upon the Hon. Member for Lambeth the necessity of post poning so very important a subject until the attention of the whole of the Magistracy could be drawn to it, and when he (Mr. Briscoe) had no doubt ho should be able to lay sonic facts connected with the prisons be fore them. The worthy Magistrate concluded by moving, as an amendment, the postponement of the question until next Session. Earl LOVELACE urged the necessity of the Court at once deciding upon Mr. Hawes's motion, on the ground of the near approach of the sitting of Parliament, and the many important questions which would press on the Secretary of State as the Session advanced. Mr. KEMBLE, M.P., supported Mr. Briscoe's amend ment. In reply, the amendment was put and negatived, and the original motion for memorialising the Secretary of State was carried. Then Court then adjourned. ANOTHER CONVERT TO ROME.—It is with great concern that we record another exampla of the influence and tendency of Puseyism. Since the publica tion of our last paper, a respectable tradesman of this city, and his family, have left the Establishment, and joined - the Church of Rome ; the party we refer to at tended " the Sacrifice of the Mass" at the Roman Catho lic Chapel in St. Clement's on Christmas Day, and was then received into communion, and on Sunday last attended the same place with his wife and family. When we state that the person we refer to has been a diligent reader of the " Tracts for the Times," and a constant attendant upon the ministry of Mr. Newman at St. Mary's, the circum tances will excite little surprise; but indignation will mingle with the regret which the fact calls forth ; and it will be demanded—how long will Mr. Newman be permitted from the pulpit of St. Mary's to point the way t oward Rome. We have . not a word of reproach for the man whose faith has been thus perverted :—" Church p r inciples" have been inculcated upon him ; he has re ceived them, and, no doubt, after severe mental strug gles, 1, a has followed- these "principles" to their natural consep ences.—Oxford Clironicl, Jan. 1. The . I;:larquis of Waterford had several of his • k bounds po4,imed last week, in the covert of Dahgan' STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER.—There was little change to report in the state of the market yesterday. The improved feeling which we noticed a week ago continued without change ; and many of the spinners, with some of the manufacturers of printing cloths, demanded higher prices, which, however, the buyers were not much dis posed to give, and consequently but little business was done. ladeed, at this season, and especially with some propability of severe frost and consequent interruption of the canal., not much activity can be expected in the absence of speculative inquiry ; and the tendency of prices has been so long and sosgniformly downward, that some time must elapse befiNE buyers can be in duced to make aoy eposiderable purchases in anticipa tion of-their actual wants:- Alth o ugh the appearances of gradual and steady int provenuent in huffiness during' the-present /ear are, as we have already stated, rather promising, we cannot help thinking that some of the grounds of expectation on this score, which we find put forth in different quar ters, are rather questionable. In some of the annual circulars of Liverpool brokers, for instance, we find the probable termination of the disputes with China occupying a prominent pace amongst the causes likely to lead to an increased that seddemand for cotton , g ldtent scarcely t o b e expecte d to an opening o f new this expectation will bedisappointed, u nless the s e ttl emen t w ith goods. We fear,how the oha o a C e i h s se of trade should i t ul die an e under existing circumsta nces. Notwit hstanding the nes iuterruptions of intercourse Which have- from time to time existed, there has been so far no diminution of ex ports. On the contrary, the shipments to China in 1841 exceeded those of 1840, as these exceeded the ship ments of 1839 ; and, at the date of the last advices, con siderable quantities of goods remained unsold. No re sumption of the trade under ordinary circumstances could be expected to cause a great increase of demand ; and if very large shipments should be made in the hope of such increase, it is to be feared that they would lead to disappointment and to severe losses. Even tually, we have no doubt, the demand for English goods and yarn, espec i a lly the latter, will become very great ; but with such a People as the Chinese, all changes require time ; and even the opening of new ports would only gradually ea. I 4 = to any very large extension of business. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JAN. 3. —The market to-day i s scarcely deserving that name. Few bu3ers hays attended, and very little business has been transacted at any prices. There has been another failure this last week amongst those manufacturers who make for the Blackwater market. The " New market," which may be considered as the opening of biisiness for the year, will be held on Monday next, the 10th instant. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JAN. 4.—A general dul ness pervaded this market, and the business done was • of the most unsatisfactory description, both in quantity and price. Buyers were numerous _; but evidently re luctant to give any thing likelair prices. -- -- Sir George Clerk transacted business yesterday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the Right Hon. Gentleman's official residence in Downing-street 7 PRICE 5d T WELFTH-DAY. Epiphany is called Twelfth-day because it falls on the twelfth day after Christmas Day. Epiphany signi fies manifestation, and is applied to this day because it is the day whereon Christ was manifested to the Gen- tiles. Bourne, in his " Vulgar Antiquities," remarks that this is the greatest of the twelve holydays, and is, therefore, more jovidly kept by the visiting of friends and Christmas gambols than any other. KING AND CIUSEN.—Tbe practice of choosing king and queen on Twelfth-night owes its origin to a custom among the Romans, which they took from the Grecians, of casting dice for who should be the rex convivii; as Horace calls him, the arbiter bibendi. Whoever threw the lucky cast, which the termed Venus or Besi licue, gave laws for the night. A similar custom was observed at the festival of Si turnalia, among the Romans and Grecians, when per sons of the same rank drew lots for kingdoms, and, like Kings, exercised their temporary authority. In the cities and academies of Germany, the students and citi zens chose ono of their own number for king, providing a most magnificent banquet for the occasion. In France, the , twelfth-cake is plain, with a bean ; the drawer of the slice containin g the bean is King or Queen ; all d r i n k t o h er or his M ajesty, who reigns and receives homage from all during the evening. There is no other drawing, and consequently the Sovereign is the only distinguished character. In Normandy they place a child under a table, which is so covered with a cloth that he cannot see ; and when the cake is divided, one of the company, taking up the first piece, cries out, " Fabe Domini !your quoi The child answers, "Pour le ben Dieu," and in this manner the pieces are allotted to the company. If the bean be found in the piece for the " bon Dieu," the King is chosen by long or short straws. Whoever get s the bean chooses the Kng or Queen, according as it hap. pens to be a man or woman. According to Brand, under the old order of things the Epiphany was kept at the French Court by one of the courtiers being chosen king, and the other nobl-s attended an enter tainment prepared for the occasion ; • but, in 1792, during the revolution, La Fete de Rois was abolished; Twelfth-day was ordered to be called " La Fete de Sans Culottes ;" the old feast was declared anti-civic ; and any priest keeping it was deemed a Royalist. The " Literary Pocket-Book" affirms that at La Fete de Rois the French Monarch and his nobles waited on the Twelfth-night King, and that the custom was not revived on the return of the Bourbons, but that instead of it the royal family washed the feet of some people and gave them alms. A REMARKABLE FACT.--it is a remarkable fact that so late as 1731 the King and Prince, on Twelfth day, at the Chapel Royal, St. James's, made the offer ings at the altar of gold, frankincence, and myrrh, ac cording to custom, and that at ought their Majesties, &c., played at hazard for the benefit of the groom porter. These offerings, which are clearly taken from the Roman ChUrch, and are not analogous to any etre mony of the Church of England, continue to be annu ally made, with this difference, however, that the King is represented by proxy in the person of some distin guished officer of the household. In other respects the proceedings are conducted with the usual.state. In Gloucestershire ind Herefordshire there is a custom on Twelfth-dar of having twelve small fires made, and one large one in honour of this day ; and in Devon shire they carry cider to the orchard, and there encir cling one of the best bearing trees, they drink the fol lowing toast three several times : " Here's to the old apple tree, Whence thou mayst bud and whence thou mayest blow, And whence thou mayest bear apples enow ! Hats full—caps full— Bushel—Bushel—chucks' full, And my pockets full, too.—Huzza !" S. R. AFFECTING SUICIDE. An inquiry was gone into on Tacsday before William Carter, Esq., the Coroner for Surrey, at the Queen Charlotte, Millpond-street, Bermondsey, on the body of Mrs. Ann Matilda Bachelour, aged 29. Mary Ann Porter, and Mrs. Porter, her mother, the first witnesses examined, exactly corresponded io their evidence with that of - Mr. Bachelour's following._ Mr. William 'Bachelour (who was much affected) stated that he had been married to his wife four or five years. On Friday Mrs. Bachelour was much excited, and observed to me, " You, and mylfather and mother, are against me, and I will not put up with it any longer. Since my mother has been here, saying all she can against me, you don't seem to like me as well 48 you did. I have borne the persecution of my mother, but I can bear it no longer." The CORONER—Her own mother ? Mr. Bachelour —Yes (bursting into tears), she has been a very cruel woman ;my wife was an excellent creature. Witness went on to say that his wife was very strange in her conduct all the afternoon, and while be was sitting by the fire she got up and went to a sideboard where there was some mcdicine—(she could make them up as well as he could)—and she had not been there a second when she exclaimed" I have taken it." Witness asked her what she taken, and she said " Morphine." lie asked her how much, and she said, "There is the glass." He looked, and found she had taken at' least 30 grains, and he was satisfied she must die. He said " You are a dead woman." Mr. Field was called in, but she died that night from the effects of the poison. The CORONER—We have heard that family differ. ences have had something to do with the depressed state of mind in which she appears to have been for so long a time. Can you tell us what they were ? Mr. Bachelour—l have always understood that because she would not marry a gentleman her mother desired, her (the mother's) conduct had been most unnatural. She came to me and told &I she could to prejudice me against my wife since she was two years of age. The CORONER—And the feeling has continued ? Yes, even up to yesterday ; I went to Chatham to tell her parents of her death, and her mother said, " I am glad of it!"—(Great surprise in the Court was here expressed ) The CORONER—Has your practice here been exten sive or limited? Limited. The CORONER—Do you think that had any effect upon her mind? Mr. Bachelour (bursting into tears) —I fear it bad. __ _ The RON E a said he know of no one .thing more likely to break a young woman's heart than continued unkindness from a mother ; it is felt by the criminal on the scaffold, and how much more acute must be the feelings of a young lady of twenty-nine. The Jury then returned a verdict "That the deceased destroyed herself, being at the time in a state of tem porary insanity." CITY OR DUBLIN ELECTION. DUBLIN, JAN. 3.—This day there was a meeting of the citizens in the great round room of the Mansion house, called by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, to adopt means for securing the return of Lord Morpeth as representative of this city. At half-past one o'clock the Lord Mayor entered the building, which was then densely crowded in every part. All the leading Reform ers were present: His Lordship was greeted with pro tracted cheering ; and when order was restored, The LORD MAYOR said that he felt it his duty to call this meeting with a view of taking into consideration the propriety of selecting a representative for this city, in the room of the late Mr. West. His Lordship spoke at soma length in praise of the private character of the late lamented gentleman. Mr. West, he said, had ob tained a 'great victory over his political opponents—his own party and friends were in power, and he had every reason to presume, that if the AlMighty spared him but a short time longer, he would have received full and ample honour and emolument for his sacrifices for his party. It was much to the credit of the Liberals of all de nominations, that they not only neveruttered a word of sa tisfaction at the death of their political opponent, but they openly avowed their deep regret at the melancholy event which deprived his amiable and lovely family of the best of fathers.—(Hear, hear.) His Lordship continued — Since the last election a Tory Government had come into power, professing all kinds of liberality, justice, and impartiality in words, but in acts he had only to refer to the appointments of Brewster, Jackson, and Lefroy— the inveterate and constant enemies of the Irish people. —(Groans.) The Orange faction, taking courage from these persons being in power, together with the charac ter of the men who have possession of the Government, had commenced their atrocities again in the north of Ireland. Within a few days several homicides and grievous outrages have been committed on the Liberals by the Orange faction in Ulster. This was the state of things that had .grown up since the last election, and which the electors of Dublin were about to be called upon to approve or disapprove of. The person whom many of the leading Liberals had pledged themselves to support was Lord Morpeth.—(Enthusiastic cheer ing.) If he could procure a Repealer, he would. be Much better pleased ; • but as that would be out of the question under the present circumstances, he felt con vinced that a better man than Lord Morpeth could not possibly be found. That excellent young Nobleman was at preSent in America, where, by his advice, his kind manner, hospitality, and charity, he was doing much to remove that asperity which was felt towards Great Bri tain, and which he (the Lord Mayor) hoped would prove the means of terminating a quarrel in peace, which was likely only to end in blows and blood.—(Cheers.) The Lord Mayor, after reviewing the position of the country, under the present Administration, and the state of the Dublin franchise, called upon the people to mark their disapprobation of that Administration, by returning Lord Morpeth in opposition to the Orange and Tory candi date.-(Cheers Sir J. POWER, Bart., moved a resolution to the effect, " That a vacancy having occurred in the representation of this city, it was advisable to return a friend to reform and civil and religious liberty." Dr. STOCK, M.P., seconded the resolution in an effec t tive speech : at the conclusion of which - The Bev. T. Gazog rose on the platform, and laid be MORNING SUN: wished to move an amendment to the resolution.—(Here a scene of the greatest uproar arose, long-continued yells and hisses poured out when his Reverence essayed to speak.) In the midst of the early part of his harangue we could hear him say, " No Sir Robert Peel"—(Great uproar)—" No Duke of Wellington"—(Renewed up roar)—l have a great respect for O'Connell.—(Continued uproar.) Ido not consider you could have a better re presentative than Lord Morpeth. But I for one am op posed to him, because of his support of the Poor-law Bill. The poor have as good a right to live as the rich —(Hear, hear) —they should have subsistence without imprisonment- The poor were comparatively happy when the Whigs carne into power—they were joined by the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, and Lord Morpeth, who became the prisoners of the poor. I op pose Lord.Morpeth (said Mr. Gregg) because he h as acted contrary to his own principles.—(Great uproar.) I say also that the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel are inconsistent with their principles.—(Cheers.)His Reverence - Concluded by moving an amendment to the ef fect that Sir' Charles Wetherell, or some supporter of Protestant ascendency, should be called upon lo come forward as a candidate. There was great uproar while the resolution and amend ment were being put from the chair- 7 -not more than four persons appearing in favour of the amendment. Joust HATCIIELL, Esq., Q. C.. came forward and moved " that Lord Morpeth be put in nomination as the candidate , for the city of Dublin."—(Cheers.) He re gretted exceedingly the scene that had just been wit nessed, produced as it was by a Reverend Gentleman. — (Groans.) He regretted that any man, pretending to be a minister of the gospel of the Christian religion, should have acted so disgraceful a part.---{Hear, hear.) The only part of the Rev. Gentleman's advice that he heard had for its object an attack upon Lord Morpeth for a want of proper feeling for the poor. If ever there were feelings of benevolence and charity deeply implanted in the breast of man, they were in that of Lord Morpeth. There was no public or private charity in this country that came to his knowledge that he did not contribute to. Such a charge against Lord Morpeth could only have baen actuated by the worst, the most mischievous mo tives.—(Cheers.) Alderman G. ROE, in seconding the motion, said that as a Protestant he felt the deepest indignation at the course taken by the Rev. Mr. Gregg.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman Roe spoke for some time in favour of Lord Morpeth's claims upon the people of Ireland. PIERCE MAIioNV, Esq., said that he also, as a Pro testant, felt bound to protest against the course taken by the Rev. Mr. Gregg. It was a disgrace to see a minister of the Christian religion acting the part of a firebrand, when he ought, if he came at all, to be the advocate of peace and goo.' will.—(Cheers.) They, however, too often found that ministers of the Gospel were employing the very worst passions for the worst purposes. The resolution was put from the chair, and carried by acclamation, the Rev. Mr. Gregg alone dissenting. Alderman PURCELL moved a resolution pledging the meeting to use all the legal means in their • power to se cure the return of Lord Morpeth. Mr. BARRET and Mr. C. M‘LAuGHLIN addressed the meeting in support of the resolution. It was resolved that a subscription be opened, and that Patrick Curtis, Esq., be appointed treasurer. A list of subscriptions, amounting to about 1,2001., was read amid great applause. The nomination of Lord Morpeth has united the whole Liberal party as ono man, and all are working with zeal and energy to secure his election. SOUTH SEA COMPANY. A General Meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held yesterday at the South Sea House, Threudneedle street, for the purpose of receiving the statement of the accounts from the Secretary, and also to declare a divi dend for the half year. The meeting was but thinly attended. Mr. FRANKS took the Chair, and called on the Secre tary to read the minutes of the last meeting, which were confirmed. The CHAIRMAN said the Court was called for the pur pose of considering a dividend, but he thought it would be best for the Secretary previously to read the answers received to the addresses of congratulation agreed at the last meeting of the Company. The SECRETARY then read a letter from Sir James Graham, in acknowledgment of the receipt of the ad dress, and conveying her Majesty's thanks ; also a letter from .Mr. G. A. Anson, acknowledging the address to his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The CHAIR3IAN said the Secretary would read the statement of the accounts, prepared for the purpose of proposing a dividend. The SECRETARY read the accounts, and it appeared that the income for the half year, was 162,0221. I9s. 6d. and the out-goings 101,7901. 3s. 2d. The amount to be provided for half a year's dividend on 3,662,7841. Bs. 6d. South Sea Stock at 11 per cent. 64,098/. 14s. 6d. The deficiency to be supplied by the Government pursuant to Act 55 George 111.. cap. 57, 3,8651. 18s. 2d., making a total on each side of 165,888/. 17s. Bd. The CHAIRMAN said, from this it appeared that the Company was enabled to declare a dividend of It per cent., and lie had therefore to propose that warrants be made out, to be paid on the same day as the Government Annuities: This motion was put and carried ; and there being no further business the meeting adjourned. SCOTTISH CORPORATION. A meeting of the subscribers to this Institution was held yesterday, at their rooms,:Crane-court, Fleet-street, for the purpose of receiving the accounts, and affixing the seal of the Corporation to the transfer of certain stock belonging to the Institution, called the Kintoul Stock. Mr. NtsnerT took the Chair, and called on the Secre tary to read the minutes of the last meeting. The CHAIRMAN inquired if any gentleman had any observation to make before he put the confirmation of the minutes to the meeting. Mr. DA viosoN said he would make one observation, not with a view of narrowing the limits of the charity, but with a contrary object. There had been so much favouritism shown that it almost became a qwstion whether they should not bar the doors of the institution because many of its subscribers had fa vourites. Ile said, open the doors to all. Mr. WEBSTER thought it was not a question to be de cided upon a motion made for the confirmation of the mi nutes. He thought they ought to be very cautious in setting aside any standing:law. After a few words from General AITCHESON, The CHAIRMAN said the question before the Com mittee was as to the confirmation of the minutes, there fore those who approved or disapproved of them, would signify the same in the usual way, unless some gentle man had any observation to make upon them. The motion was then put and carried. The SECRETARY then read the accounts, from which it appeared that the expenses for the year were 6161 16s. 4d., and the income 8041. 19s. 3d., leaving a balance in the Lands of the Treasurer of 1881. 2s. I Id., which had been carried to the credit of the Treasurer. The accounts were ordered to be received, and entered on the minutes. The SECRETARY then read a letter from his Grace the Duke of Sutherland, expressing the Noble Duke's anxiety for the institution, and enclosing his subscrip tion of 501. Dr. WATTS moved that a vote of thanks of the meeting be given to the Duke of Sutherland ; but The SECRETARY said the Noble Duke had been thanked already at the last meeting, and the motion was immediately withdrawn, The CHAIRMAN then said he had to submit a motion to the meeting, for the purpose of empowering the insti tution to sell out 1,0001. of the stock, called Kintuul Stock, belonging to the institution. Dr. BELL said the proposal to sell out the 1,000/. would of course diminish the Kintoul trust, and he took the liberty of urging a suggestion which he had made on more occasions than one, • relative to the sel ling of this stock, which would go on diminishing until the whole of that immense sum of money was lost. He thought they should apply to the Legislature, or, at all events, take the advice of Counsel 'carnet:l.in the law as to the question. that i General ArrcuEsox said he would submit to the Court whether it was at all usual, that when one subject lied was n b o efo w re ish a meeting,to interrupt, another h ot ou er ld el) b . e t i o ntr s od ug u ge ei t . by such coarse of proceeding they would get into all but s sorts of irregularity. 1)r. BELL said they had not perfectly understood him, and the Gallant General had quite misunderstood his ob servation. --- The CHAIRMAN said the question was as to their sel• ling out the stock of 1,0001. Dr. BELL said. he was going to move an amendment to the motion before them. General AITCHESON said the motion before them was that the seal of the Corporation should be affixed to the transfer of the stock for 1,000/. ; and he (Dr. Bell) wished to introduce a motion as to whether they could alter a gentleman's will. Ile humbly submitted to the Rev. Gentleman that this course was out of all order. Dr. BELL said, would they allow him to state his own opinion, and he thought it would save a good deal of time ? lie perfectly understood the motion before them. The CHAIRMAN said that they had granted pensions, and they must adopt this course to meet the grant. Dr. BELL said it it was but a matter of form he had totally misunderstood it. lie thought it was a motion for the deliberation of that Court, and it seemed to him to be perfectly competent to any one meet it with an amendment. The CHAIRMAN said they were under such engage ments, and must keep them. After a few words in explanation from 1)r. BELL, The CHAIRMAN put the question, which was carried. Several petitions were then taken into consideration, and the meeting adjourned at two o'clock. DISTRESSED PRINTERS.—We take great plea sure in stating that Mr. G. Smith, the lessee of the Barn well Theatre, has granted the gratuitous use of the same for the two performanaes in aid of the distressed letter press printers, in the following generous terms:—'' consider the printers of this country generally a very valuable body of men; and no person feels more for their privations than myself, and more particularly frou? ,ts being so patiently endured. The Barnwell Theatre is at e n the service of the Committee, free of any expse what ever, on my part." The good feeling with which tho we favour was conferred greatly enhances its va lue, and the liberal hope that it will be heartily seconded by support of the public. We understand that the perform ances will take place about the middle of the present month.—Cambridye Advertiser.
