Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon, of Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last, to the Editor of the Times :" Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public to make known the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo cated and fractured My angle severely. From the great tender ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con tinued very much swollen and adematous, and I suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which extended from the wide to the leg, thigh, back, and to the arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston then to adopt sea bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one simie. The next morning I came down stairs without my crutchesand was able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy. In adding my testimony to Mt. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf ferers. Possessing ; as I ever did, the strongest prejudice against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug. " I am, your obedient servant, " TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon. " Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire. " P. S. At the various consultations held upon my case, the Surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter. minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application of this extraordinary embrocation.-T. H." This justly-celebrated remedy (which is equally efficacious n any of the above afflictions) may be obtained of, or through any respectable wholesale or retail Chemist in Town or Country, at the Depot, corner of Wellington-street, Strand ; Or from the Proprietor, Mr. Feaver, 16, Ludgate-hill, London. On Saturday the Marylebone Vestry assembled at the Court House, Marylebone-lane, for the purpose of making choice of one out of three designs, selected by the Committee for erection in the Regent-circus, to the memory of the Scotch Reformers of 1793-4 viz., Muir, Palmer, Skirving, Gerald, and Margarot. Mr. E. Joseph having been appointed to the chair, the three design.; selected by the Committee were brought and laid before the vestry. Mr. Wilson said, before any of these designs were accepted by the vestry, he begged to state, as a member of the Committee, that he was much disappointed at the course which had been pursued in preventing competition, upon which subject he begged to present to the vestry a memorial which had been entrusted to him for that purpose. The vestry-clerk having read the memorial,which was signed by the whole of the artists who had sent in designs to the Committee, with the exception of the successful one, a discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr. Hume, M.P., said he had never intimated to the vestry that the erection of the monument would be open to coin petition.—(Cries of " Oh, oh.") What he said was, that until the site ibr the monument was decided on, it would be useless for the Committee to have the designs before them, and that when the site was de cided on, he (Mr. Hume) would submit three for the choice of the vestry. The Committee had the designs of nine different artists laid before them, but none of them were suitable, the spot selected in the Regent's circus not being adequate to afford for the base a space of more than seven feet for a monument of not less than from thirty to forty feet high. It was also deemed advisable to have the monument as plain as' possible, in order to protect it from wilful or acci dental injury from the public. The design No. 1 was such an one as that required. It was a square column, such as were to be seen in Rome, but he (Mr. Hume) believed there was no other of the description in England. The base was intended to be made of granite, and the rest of Portland stone. He begged to assure the vestry that it had gone forth by some mistake that there should be competition. Mr. Gomm said upon the very face of the resolution it would appear that there was no mistake, and that the erec tion of the column was to be subjected to fair, free, an.l open competition. It was as follows :—" That the Scotch and English monumental Committee, as sisted by Messrs. Hume, Rennie, and Donaldson, select three most appropriate designs for choice of the Vestry." Now, he did not see upon the face of that resolution how it could be a mistake to suppose there would be competition. The motion for the admission of the memorialists was put, and lost by a large majo rity. Mr. Glasier then moved that design No. 1 (a plain square pillar, the scale being about 40 feet in height, with a cap of a Roman pilaster, surmounted by an urn), be adopted by the vestry:• Mr. Herbert seconded the motion ; on which Mr. J. Wilson moved and Mr. Worledge seconded. an amendment, to the effect that the design of one of the memorialists (Mr. Turring) be brought i n an d examined. After some discussion, the amendment was put and negatived, and design No. 1 adopted by the Vestry, with seven or eight dissentients; and the Committee appointed to assist Mr. Hume in superintending the erection. The vestry then separated. IRELAND. NATIONAL BOARD OF EDUCATION. Dt.nt.'s, DEC. 17.—The usual half-yearly exami nation of the masters in training at the National Board of Education, was held on Thursday last. In cluding the schoolmistresses, there were about ninety teachers assembled. The Lord Lieutenant having signified his intention of being present at this interest ing exhibition, arrived about two o'clock, accompanied by the Countess de Grey. Their Excellencies first inspected the model schools, which were attended by several hundreds of children. After hearing some of the children examined in different branches of in struction, they proceeded to the Lecture-room, where the teachers had been previously assembled. The platform was crowded with visitors of various religious denominations amongst whom we recognised several clergymen of the Established Church and the Presby terian body. The teachers were examined in the usual branches by the professors, and by Mr. Skilling, the superintendent of the model farm in connection with the Board. Their Excellencies appeared to take a deep interest in the proceedings, and frequently selected the teachers and subjects for examination. Mr. Blake presented each of the teachers of his communion with a copy of the Douay Testament, and of Bossuet's Exposition. The Rev. Doctor HENRY then addressed the Pres byterian teachers, in the course of his speech he re marked : I beg it distinctly to be understood that the numerous and influential body with which. I have the honour to be connected, are now fully aware by expe riment—the best of all tests—that receiving aid for their Schools through our National. Board, does not, in the slightest degree, infringe on that inherent ve neration which our Church has ever felt for Scrip ture education. In common with the Church of Scotland, they hold is to be your right, and that of your pupils, to read their Bible freely ; and, whilst they do not regard themselves to be justified in with holding secular education from those who demur to this view, they are satisfied that, in receiving aid from us on this ground of non-compulsion—a ground which, at all times, they advocated—they are left in the full and unshackled possession of their invaluable scrip tural privileges. Spread as far as possible around you the social comforts of order, peaceableness and regu larity—making it apparent that religion is practical influential in every department in life. Where you can apply that knowledge of agriculture which you have acquired here, I would beg you to avail your selves of every proper opportunity of doing so. You may assist materially in ;drawing out the still latent resources of this great country. His Grace the Archbishop of DUBLIN having re turned during the delivery of the . Rev. Dr. Henry's speech, then addressed the teachers. He expressed his cordial approbation of what the Rev. Dr. Henry had said respecting the sacred volume ; but he felt it his duty to remind those whom he was 'now address ing, that God's best gifts may be made an ill use of. It was, no doubt, a precious privilege to have the Bible, and the power of reading it ; but was it not melancholy to reflect that by some it was so shame fully abused. There are men who talk of it, who have it perpetually om their lips ;- who glory in it, and yet display a character quite opposite to the spirit of charity and forbearance which it inculcates. Lamenting that this most unchristian spirit should be so prevalent in the present day, when scriptural edu cation is so eagerly defended, he would exhort the instructors of youth before him to have the Bible, not merely in their hands or mouths, but in their hearts. The Commissioners of Education, said his Grace most emphatically, do not teach more than 'they practise; for many years they have been defamed and reviled ; they have been falsely accused of denying to those willing to receive them those very Scriptures which all present have now in their hands ; but they have endured all with firmness, patience, and gentleness, not " weary ing in well doing," but confident that, " in due season, they shall reap their reward." I have been, in particular, as you are no doubt aware, said his Grace, assailed in the most furious manner. I have been singled out as an object for every calumny and ob loquy, yet I have never been intimidated, and never provoked; and by the blessing of God, I never will. In a small sphere, and in a less degree, the teachers connected with this establishment' may expect to be attacked in a similar manner. It is for them to re ply by conduct, not words—not talking or bantering of the Scriptures, but seeking in, them for lessons of peaceableness and perseverance—of firm and gentle patience—and showing the fruit of their study in the life they lead and the instruction given, Alexander Macdonnell, Esq., resident Commissioner gave each of the teachers two valuable books on science and agriculture. Shortly after their Excellencies and the audience retired, evidently very much pleased with the impor tant proceedings of the day. Dr. Daly is to be the new Bishop of Cashel and Waterford. It is stated that Dr. Maude, Dean of Clogher, is to get the Deanery of St. Patrick, and that the Rev. Mr. Balfour, nephew of Lady De Grey, is to be Dean of Clogher. There is also a rumour that Archdeacon Packenham, brother-in-law of the Duke of Wellington, is to be Dean of St. Patrick's. The Evening Post announces a heavy failure in the provision trade in Belfast.

BOARD OF GUARDIANS, GREENWICH, Q bßrlagrdht f o o f rward the subject LiATIIRDAY. Guardians, the Chairman Ata meeting (Mr.B. o f Carter)the of allowing roast beef, plum-pudding, and strong beer, to the inmates of the union on Christmas-day, He thought there could be no objection on the part of the Board to the usual allowance being given. Air. James (the clerk) said that the new rules of the Poor-law Commissioners were so stringent as regarded the dietary of the paupers, which was only to be altered by the medical officer, that he did not consider the Board would be justified in making the order. Mr. Moze said there would be a great deal of dissatisfaction amongst the parishioners if those in the house were debarred from that small enjoyment. Mr.Warman, the relieving officer, said that the out-door poor, who had only a shilling or eighteenpence per week allowed, and never had a mouthful of meat from one month's end to another, were more deserving objects of a little extra allowance. The Chairman said that no doubt some hundred, pounds would be subscribed f o r that purpose, and he,for one was ready to become a con tributor. As to ihe,,rules, they only prescribed the dietary for Sundays an4lW. eek days, but n o t a wor d was said about " Christmas-4Y;, so they must exer cise what they had very little ofr-r,-," a discretionary power."—(Laughter.) If they happened to do a little wrong they would, at the same 'tiin A , do a great deal of good ; so the best way was to let he poor enjoy themselves, and the Board must make friends with the Commissioners afterwards. He did not anticipate that would be a task of any great diffi culty. The resolution to grant the allowance was unanimously agreed to. COAST.. The Cork Reporter contaias :the following : " The weather, since Friday.lait, has undergone a complete change. From being,..4 a mild vegetative character, gales of unusual severity have prevailed, the wind being generally at S.E., accompanied with torrents of rain. Last night, from five to half-past eleven, r.af., the gale was tremendous, freshening at intervals into a hurricane. At twelve o'clock the storm subsided, but the rain continued all night and to-day up to two o'clock, when there did not seem any appearance of a change. • • At Cove the surf rolled furiously over . the quays; the Queen, river steamer, had to land her Cove pas sengers last evening, at Carrigaloe; and in proceed ing to Aghada, preferred running through the Islands to making h er wa y th roug h t h e Bay, in the fear of being forced upon the quay by the strength of the wind. She landed all her passengers safely ; and reports to-day that the shipping lying in the har bour and along the river were in perfect safety, the necessary precautions having been taken to secure them firmly at their moorings. • IRISH FAIRS.

LIGHT GOLD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sift,—Allow me to address a remark or two re specting the light gold which keeps remaining in cir culation. I consider it shamefully wrong that the public should be compelled to sacrifice their money in this way. I believe most persons turning over 5001. a week, lose, on an average, 15s. to 20s. a week by light gold. A gentleman told me yesterday he had lost 101. by being unable to pay them for 20s. each, during the last few weeks. I have lost 81. or more. I have paid some away, but cannot get rid of a quarter the number I receive (for their full value), and it is the case generally. They are mostly bear ing date eighteen to twenty years back, and any one may naturally suppose they are reduced in weight by common usage. They ought to be called in; it is nothing less than robbery. Parties paying them tell you they will allow nothing, and it is almost impos sible to get anything allowed with them. When a person has payments to make in the neighbourhood he may stand a chance of getting some off; but any thing pay here is a mere fraction compared to other towns. I do hope you will give publicity to the matter, and remain, Sir, yours; &c., A CONSTANT READER. Rochdale, Dec. 13, 1842. Being a protection of 47 per cent. The charges of 10s. a quarter comprise the average expenses of bringing wheat from a foreign port to the port of London or Liverpool, or other sea-ports ; they have been obtained from various authentic private sources, and from printed circulars of authority, and consist of the following items : Freight to London or Liverpool per quarter, on an average of years— From Dantzie All other main ports of the Average ss. Gd. Baltic Note.—The freight from Holland is 3s. per qr. • Odessa, Bs. ; T r i es t e , 6 s. 61 ; Marseilles, 6s. ; America, 6s. to 7s.

Thus, as above stated, 45., 55., and 6s. a quarter duty, with 10s. added for charges on importation, af ford respectively, 381 per cent., 42: ; - : per cent., and 47 per cent. of protection to the British agriculturist. And even the simple charges (10s.) a quarter, with out any duty, on bringing wheat to this country, af ford a protection of 25 per cent., not to mention the expenses previously incurred on foreign wheat, of bringing it, in many cases several hundred miles, from the place of growth to the sea-port for shipment, forming, in addition to the above-named 25 per cent., a further protection of fully 10 per cent. Few unprejudiced minds will be disposed to regard the above scale of protection, whether with th e r a t es of duty nam e d, or even without duty, as insufficient to enable the agriculturist of this country, with Bri tish skill and perseverance, to compete with any foreign country. It would, indeed, be a libel to say he were not. In truth, with an equitable rent, he has nothing to fear—even from a repeal of the Corn-laws. Neither can I hesitate to believe that, with the love of equity and fair dealing which have ever marked the character of the nobility of this country—which haracterise, as a body, the Government and the Mem bers of the Legislature—that when the above facts, mathematically demonstrated, are placed before them, they will at once avow the ample sufficiency of the protection afforded to the agricultural interest by a duty of 45., 55., or 6s. per quarter. Under the existing circumstances of the country, prudence world seem to suggest to the agricultural interest that, as a matter of policy, they should endea vour, by all the means in their power, to secure in the ensuing session of Parliament a fixed protection to the extent above stated—since this would in all likelihood settle the question ; while, on the other hand, longer to defer it is to lead to the insistance of total repeal. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, E. WARD JACKSON. Edge Hill, Liverpool, Dec. 13, 1842. L AMBETII WATER COMPANIES.—On Friday evening a meeting of the Licensed Victuallers of the southern districts a the Thames was held 'at the Bridge- House Hotel, to adopt measures to resist the mono poly of the Lambeth, Southwark, and Vauxhall Water Companies, and to secure a supply of pure and wholesome water on the most reason able terms. Mr. Vousley, jun., having been called to the chair, explained the objects of the meet ing. It appeared from his statement that the districts supplied by 'these Companies were, in addi tion to the unwholesome quality of the Thames water, subjected to the caprice of the Companies, who recently raised their rates in many instances from 100 to 200 per cent. One gentleman, who was supplied by the Southwark Com pany, had his rate raised from 101. to 201. 10s. a year. He himself had eighteen small tenements, which were raised from Bs. to lls. a year each tene ment. The London Tavern paid to the New Water Company only 101., while the building in which they were assembled was charged 361. 10s. a year. Messrs. Proctor, Hancock, Gibson, and others, moved a series of resolutions condemnatory of the alleged exactions of the three Companies, and in approbation of the River Wandle Company, and a Committee was appointed to co-operate with the latter in their speculation for supplying water to the districts south of the Thames. SPLENDID PRESENT TO THE QUEEN.---On Tuesday a hundred deer were caught in Garendon Park, the seat of C. M. Phillips, Esq., for the purpose of stock ing one of her Majesty's parks with the breed (which is considered a fine one). The fine park was ani mated by the presence of hundreds of visitors, of all giades, to assist in or witness the taking of the deer, and for those who love the chase, or a rural ramble, much enjoyment was afforded. A large pound, nearly a quarter of a mile in circumference, had been en closed with high nets on the west side of the park, not a great distance from the foot of the hill on which the circular building, generally styled " the temple," is erected, and the deer being driven by horsemen into the enclosure, were frightened by the shouts of the by-standers, and plunged with tremendous force, head foremost at the nets, by which they generally became entangled by either the legs or neck, and were instantly secured. The fawns, and a few fa vourite bucks, were turned at liberty when caught, and much amusement was created by their running through the crowd, and snaking the best of their way to join their companions yet at liberty in the further parts of the park. The horns-of the bucks were cut off as soon as they were brought out of the pound, in order to prevent them from injuring each other, and all the deer caught were car r i e d to the in . Hall stables a waggon and a van ; the latte r con structed for such purposes; and brought from Lon don, by Mr. Herring, who is employed by her Ma jesty Between for e a c e a h r r l y o i a n d g , th h e e r deer l o e f f t v a a t r i o p u e a s e, kinds. and the spectators amused themselves with looking round the park, or hunting the squirrels which abound on the fine timber trees.—Lincolnshire Mercury.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT NOTTINGHAM.—Thursday morning an accident, frightful to think of, occurred in the station-yard of the Midland Counties Railway, which, although it was not attended with injury to life or limb, yet might have carried with it the most serious consequences.

" This volume presents to us a number of illustrations of his singular success under circumstances that would, have induced despair in any professor of less mastery, or less accustomed to accomplish cures where cures seem impossible. The statements here made are most convincing, and place beyond doubt the superiority of th e t reatment to wich he refers. —Court Journal. " It is very rarely our practice to advert to books 'on profes sional subjects; but the 4 Facts and Observations' appear, b y their practical and unpretending character, to indicate so easy and prompt a relief from a large class of most painful and dis. tressing diseases, that we believe this word of commendation misplaced or witho u t i ts use , from us, which we g i ve w i th much sincerity, w ill no t b e t h ought "—Examiner. " The author appears to have had long experience, extensive practice, and great success, in the treatment of hemorrhoidal affections, the result of which is here published in a brief form, and in language intelligible to the least scientific reader,"..— Morning Advertiser. From a perusal of this work it will be at once seen that the author displays a knowledge adequate to the task he has un dertaken. Mr. Van Batchell altogether discards the use of the knife, and, judging from the cases recorded, success has almost universally accrued from the plan substituted." — We e k l y Chronicle.

At eleven o'clock the Bishop, with his chaplain and registrar, arrived, and was conducted to his seat withi n the rails of the altar. The prayers were read by the Rev. Edward Healy Thompson, M.A., and the sermon preached by the Rev. John Sinclair, M.A., Examining Chaplain to the Bishop, and 'Vicar of, Kensington. The Rev. Gentleman took for his text the sth chapter of St. Paul's First Epistle to the Thessalonians, and the sth verse—" Brethren, pray for us." He dwelt on the duty of every member of the Christian Church to offer up intercessory prayer for the clergy, who had so many difficulties to contend with. Constant engage ment in the duties of their office not unfrequently oc casioned' indiffurenee ; the fervour with which they entered on their sacred duties sometimes waxed cold, and their susceptibility to religious impressions di minished. Hence the necessity of frequent and earnest prayer on their behalf. The preacher then alluded to the studies of the clergy, and to the duties which devolved pn them if they would faithfully exe • n eu ,as te t t h heir enp h roc ig e h ed c e o d m: i issn.
