Che Secretary, Mr. E. S. Symes, read the minutes of the last meeting, which were confirmed, and S. Prideattx, .1:sq:, of Southampton, was balloted for, as correspond ng member of the Society, and unanimously elected. The Rev. fir. Wood, M.A., was also unanimously elected member. The President, Dr. Elliotson, delivered a lecture upon :le connexion between Phrenology and Mesmerism. He said—l have always been scrupulously cautious in intro ducing the subject of Mesmerism at our meetings, on tccount of the difficulties opposed to it, and the preju lices existing against it in the minds of mankind ; and I soald not do ahything to create a difference of opinion ri the Society. But assertions have recently been made 'n public, and opinions have been promulgated in society (and I see no reason against adopting them), that Ales nerism could explain some of the most important prin. :iples of Phrenology. I was always aware of the eon aexion between them, as Mesmerism relates to the whole )f the nervous system, of which Phrenology explains me part. There is the less objection. to my introducing he subject here at • present, as the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, with Lord 3roughana at their head, and four of my late .!olleagues at the London University, who worried me at the University Hospital, have now borne public testimony to the reality and usefulness of Mesmer ism. This they have done in the last, monthly number of the Penny Cyclopedia. What is more remarkable, they have borne their testimony just as strongly, and just to the same extent, as I have done in my Physiology, for I have said no more than that one person can in fluence another in various ways, .without the will or consciousness of the person influenced—that so one Berson can send another to sleep, and again awaken the latterat pleasure—and that he would know nothing of what night happen in the interval. I have said that this can be done not only without the knowledge, but even against the will. But I was at last compelled to admit more than this. I was com pelled from what I witnessed to admit that persons thus Influenced were rendered insensible to pain even to that of severe burning, and of sharp surgical operations —such as the insertion of setons, and the removal of tumors. Yet to all these—mad as it must appear—l have been obliged to admit " vision without the eyes." Mad as it may appear I have seen it in the most un equivocal manner IA three cases, where the eyes were blindfolded with the utmost care. Thick cloths were placed over the eyes and were pressed down with eye cups. In one of those .cases, which occurred the other day at Paris, I put soft wool over the eyes, and pressed it tight down with a thick bandage. of new cloth, and filled up all the intervals with wool. IN hen the patient was in this blindfolded state, I took papers out of my pocket and held them before the patient, out of the line of vision, and that person read what was there printed. Such are the facts which aro admitted in this article of the Penny Cyclopedia. I was also obliged to admit of "pre-vision,' at least as to the state of the persons themselves. I have not known any thing which could be called prophecy ; but I have known persons to predict what would be the state of their own health at particular times. I will not enter into any speculation as to this—whether it may be ac counted for by supposing that they did actually -foreknow the future state of their own health, or that imagination produced the change. But this sort of prediction is declared in the Penny Cyclopedia to be INDUBITABLE ! The assertion is made distinctly and openly in the article on Somnam bulism, in reference to a case recorded in the French En cyclopaedia, on the respectable authority of the Arch bishop of Bourdeaux : " It is the case of a young ecclesiastic, who was in the habit of getting up during the night in a state of som nambulism, of going to his room, taking pen, ink, and paper, and composing and writing sermons. When he had finished one page of the paper on which he was writing, he would read over aloud what he had written, and correct it. Upon one occasion he had made use of the expression, Ce divin enfant.' In reading over the passage, he changed the word divin' into adorable.' Observing, however, that the pronoun ce' could not stand before the word adorable,' he added to it the Mansion HouEe, London, Jan. 15, 1842. The Right Hon. JOHN PIRIE, Lord Mayor, Treasurer.

IMPORTANT. —Many Persons after learning that so many wonderful Curls have been effected by PARR'S LIFE PILLS, have a great desire tfr procure the Medicine which has done so much good. In ding this, how ever, caution must be observed, as certain individuals, without honour or honesty, are offering a dangerous substitute instead of the genuine Medicine. The Proprietors cannot, of course, be accountable for any untoward results that may ensue to those who have been thus imposed upon, but they can point out an effectual means to prevent further imposition. Purchasers may be sure they have the genuine Medicine, if they find the words PARR'S LIFE PILLS engraved on the Government Stamp, in White Letters on a Red Ground.

MY DEAR SIR,--I have notes of six cases, in which I have admi. nistcrcd your preparation of Copaiba, for the cure of Gonorrlia•a, in all of which the disease has been subdued in a shorter period of time than according to the ordinary plans hitherto made use of. Besides these cases of which I have taken notes, I have tried it in several in. gances at the Greville street Hospital, and am quite satisfied that it p ossesses a control over the urgent symptoms of Gonorrhoea, rhieving the discharge and mitigating the scalding in making water that I n a ve not observed in the usual methods of exhibiting Copaiba. In one instance only did it disagree with the stomach ; but in this it see med to depend rather on the method of exhibition than on the re medy itself, for, on diluting it with a larger quantity of watei„the objection was at once obviated, and the patient got well in ten days from the time that he commenced taking the Medicine. I have not had a case in which the discharge continued longer than ten days after commencing this treatment. 6; l am, dear Sir, your's very truly, (Signed) '‘A LEXANDER TWEEDIE."

Greece ~ This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since ,ito first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarpd by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indicter ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they wore further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attent ion to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring ) whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonisKed to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, Wiwi, &c.; the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporaly at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing . this work, be directe4 and very much, assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices - so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

In order to ascertain whether the somnam bulist made any use of his eyes, the Archbishop held a piece of pasteboard under his chin, to prevent him from seeing the paper upon which he was writing ; but he continued to write on, without being apparently incom moded in the slightest degree. The paper upon which he was writing was taken away, and other paper laid be fore him ; but the young ecclesiastic immediately per ceived the change. He wrote pieces of music while in this state, and in the same manner, with his eyes closed: • the words he placed underneath the music. It happened upon one occasion that the words were written by him in too large a character, and did not stand exac tly un d er the corresponding notes ; he soon perceived the error, blotted 'out the part, and wrote it over again with great exactness." They say all this without reference to Mesmerism ; ut farther down they relate the case of Jules Cloquet, lius : " It is that of a lady, aged 64, who consulted M. Clo- quet, April 8, 1829, on account of an ulcerated cancer on the right breast, of several years' standing, which was combined with a considerable swelling (engorgement) of the corresponding axillary glands. M. Chapelain, the physician attending this lady, who had magnetized her for some months, had obtained no other result than that of producing a most profound sleep, during which all sensibility appeared to be, annihilated, while the ideas re tained all their clearness. He proposed to M. Cloquet to operate upon her while she was plunged in this magnetic sleep. The latter, having deemed the operation indis pensable, consented. The two previous evenings this lady was magnetized several times by M. Chapelain, who, in her somnabulism, disposed her to submit to the opera tion, although, when awake, she rejected the idea with horror. Upon the day appointed, M. Cloquet found the patient dressed, and seated in an elbow-chair, in the atti tude of a person enjoying a quiet natural sleep. She had however been thrown into a state of somnambulism, and talked with great calmness of the operation. She un dressed herself, and sat down upon a chair ; M. Chape lain supported the right arm, the left was permitted to hang down at the side of the body. M. Cloquet delibe rately performed the operation, which lasted from ten to twelve minutes, and the tumour was extirpated. During all this time the patient continued to converse quietly with the operator, and did not exhibit the slightest sign of sensibility. There was no motion of the limbs or of the features, no change in the respiration nor in the voice ; no emotion even in the pulse. The patient con- tinned in the same state of automatic indifference and im passability in which she had been some minutes before the operation. There was no occasion to hold, but only to support her. A ligature was applied to one of the thoracic arteries, which had been opened during the ex traction of the glands. The wound was united by means of adhesive plaster, and dressed. The patient was put to bed while still in a state of somnambulism, in which she was left for 48 hours. An hour after the operation there appeared a slight hemorrhage, which was attended with no consequence. The first dressing was taken off on the 14th, and the wound was cleaned and dressed anew ; the patient exhibited no sensibility or pain, and the pulse preserved its usual rate. After the dressing M. Chapelain awakened the patient, whose somnambulic sleep had continued from an hour previous to the opera tion, that is to say, for two days. She did not appear to have any idea of what had passed in the interval ; but upon being informed of the operation, and seeing her children around her, she experienced a very lively emo tion, which the magnetizer checked by immediately set ting her asleep. The only doubt or objection which the writer has ever seen raised with respect to the abOve case, is that it does not appear certain that the patient was not in a state of anaesthesia before she was thrown into the magnetic trance ; but this is so very far-fetched and improbable, that it is almost equivalent to confessing that the fact of an artificial state of anaesthesia having been produced is indisputable." They conclude the whole with these words, in which I entirely agree : " With respect to the phenomenon of somnambulism as caused by Mesmerism, or animal magnetism, the writer only wishes to add most distinctly and explicitly, that so much credulity and deception have been brought to light in connection with it, that a person, cannot he too cautious in sifting and weighing the evidence on which each of the alleged instances rests ; but that, after all .this mass of knavery and folly has been cleared away, there still remain a large number of instances which cannot be disbelieved without discarding all his torical evidence whatever. For more information on the subject the reader may consult, besides the works already quoted, the Rev. C'hauncey Townshend's work on Somnambulism, and ' Le Ma,, , Tnetisme Animal en France,' by M. Bertrand, Paris, 1826." With respect to what some say of this case, that it was possible fur this lady to exhibit such insensibility by the exercise of a very determined will, I can say that there is no ground for such a , statement. Indeed, Dr. Cald well lately assured me that he put the . question to M. Cloquet, whether any one could have borne the operation as that lady had done, with as little manifestation of suffering, in a natural state ? and M. Cloquet replied, "Jamais, jamais, dans monde." But I have men tioned these things, Gentlemen, more to smooth my way in relating occurrences of a more extraordinary nature which have happened in America. In the course of the last month I have received a series of newspapers from America containing accounts of Mesmerism, from which it 'seemed that when an operator had reduced a patient to a state of stupor he could excite the phrenological organs at will, that parts of the brain could be awakened and excited, and afterwards sent to sleep again. Dr. Elliotson then read from a New York paper an account of numerous mesmero-phrenological experiments performed at arid in the Museum of Louisville by Dr. Buchanan and others. We insert the following : " August 7th.—At ten o'clock, A. M., in company with Dr. H. 11. Sherwood, of this city, I went to the museum, and found Miss M. at the piano. In the course of a few moments she was put to sleep, when the following most interesting experiments were performed. I had not communicated my design to Mr. Peale,' or to Miss M., and, hence it is certain, that there could have been no collusion between them. She was directed to play several tunes, which she did, stopping various times, when a sign was made to Mr, Peale by myself. I then requested him to •,44.7 *el _ ISt #fr- LAM Y _ .• • . 4 1 .14 7 3 . u r _ • 7. . A6 N • • • , 1111 :• ° + 11 4" ; 4 ?-7 1 ' . • , . Amine 0 0 . 5 ' ATP' s. 411 1°P " • = 2iL i....

He did so, by simply re versing the motions With his thumbs over those portions. He then directed her to play one of her favourite tunes, The Old Arm-Chair.' She attempted, but immedi ately said, she - Could not remember the air;' She said she could remember the words, and repeated them ; but could not play the tune. " I next requested him to mesmerise the organs of time again ; and to reverse the motions over the organs of language. He did so, and then requested her to play. She commenced the tune, but could not repeat the words, Mr. Peale tried various ways to induce her to repeat the words, but she as often signified her inability to remem ber them. I then pointed out to him, without speaking, the organs of individuality, and requested him to wake them up also. He then questioned her, and she de clared herself unable to tell the name of any person, nut excepting her own. " He then re -mesmerized these organs, and reversed the motions over the organs of tune and eventuality i after which, she could not tell how old she was, or any event connected with her life: and in reply to the various questions which Mr. Peale put to her, she invariably de clared that she had forgotten, or did not know!" Dr. Elliotson then read very long extracts from the Boston and Kentucky papers, which related a vast num ber of publi c ex p er i ments o f a s i m i lar nature, and with similar results, performed by Dr. Collyer, Dr. Buchanan, and others, but it is impossible to make room for them here. In each case, it is represented that the organs, as named by the phrenologists, invariably manifested, under the mes meric influence, the functions attributed to them. The rela tions excited the greatest surprise in the meeting, and were listened to with deep attention. He then stated that whilst these things were proceeding in America, expe riments precisely of the same character and effect were carried on in different parts of England by gentlemen who knew nothing of the operations of each other, or of those which were going on in America. He had sent down.copies of the American papers to Hampshire to Dr. Engledue, with - a.request that he would hand them to Mr. 'Gardiner, a gentleman of the highest respectabi lity and learning, the son of Sir James Gardiner, an old member of this Society. It happened curiously enough that when Dr. Engledue went over to Southampton to give the packet of papers (which he himself had not opened) to Mr. Gardiner, he found that gentleman, Mansfield, and others, actually engaged in a series of experiments, which, on afterwards looking into the packet, they found to correspond exactly with those of Drs. Buchanan and Collyer. Dr. Elliotson then read from the Hampshire Telegraph a long account of experi ments by Mr. Gardiner, from which we can only make j room for the following : " I asked the patient referred to (9 young lady ignorant of phrenology), when in the trance, with what part of the brain she kept a secret ? She replied—' On the side of my brain.' Upon asking her to point out the spot, she placed her fin g er exactly on the organ of secretiveness in my he a d. I placed my finger on her organ of secretiveness, when she said, Yes, just there where I am touching my head.' In the trance she fancies the two movements are identical. Having asked her where she felt anger, she placed her finger upon my organ of destructiveness. I inquired—where she felt hunger; her finger rested on my organ of alimen tiveness. I interrogated her as to the time: she was wholly unable to tell me. The idea then struck me that I might possibly enable her to estimate the hour by exciting the organ of time. With this view I rubbed the forehead gently at the required spot, exerting my volition to the utmost, of course ; she very shortly exclaimed oh ! that makes me feel so odd.' I asked in what way? She replied, 6 lt makes me know what time it is.' She then told me the time with almost perfect accuracy. She would afterwards always estimate the lapse of time —intervals—with astonishing accuracy, upon my ex citing the organ of time on her forehead. Her finger rubbed on my forehead produced invariably the same results (this is true of all the organs). Upon my ex- , citing her organ of tune in the same way, she said that makes me feel so very cheerful—it makes me like to hear some singing.' I requested her to sing. She persisted • in asserting her inability until I ener getically excited self-esteem, when she said, try,' and she forthwith hummed an air. When her organ of colour was excited she exclaimed with animation " oh, oh ! I see green, yellow, purple, &c., such beautiful colours." If when she was unable to dis tinguish an object clearly, I excited individuality, she in stantly perceived it distinctly. In the trance she is never aware of her locality, until the proper organ is excited.— Upon one occasion I excited constructiveness. when she expressed a desire to make a cap-model, which she exe cuted upon being supplied with materials.—The organ called wit or mirthfulness being excited, she very soon began to laugh involuntarily, although I steadily main tained my gravity. I continued the operation, which produced an increase in her mirth tail she fell into a continuous fit of laughter, exclaiming as well as she could—' I shall die of laughing.' Upon exciting her organ of destructiveness, her whole aspect and tone gra dually underwent the most marked change ; the milk of human kindness ' gradually turned to gall and venom ; she pouted, frowned, threatened, stormed, clenched her fist, and finally became exasperated. Thinking I had gone far enough, I breathed on the organ with a view to reduce its activity, and she very soon became calm, losing every symptom of anger. The most beautiful results were elicited by exciting the organ of imitation. She commenced mimicking and imi tating with extraordinary and ludicrous accuracy seve ral peculiarities of her acquaintances and friends, not omitting my friend Mr. Mansfield and myself in the act of magnetising. Suddenly by the exercise of my whole energy, I paralysed the organ, and instantly her power of imitation vanished. I re-excited the organ, when she „ . immediately repeated her wonderful mimickry to our in tense gratification.” In a letter to the same paper by Dr. Engledue, con firming the statements of Mr. Gardiner, the writer says : The discoverer of the true philosophy of man was compelled to leave the land of his birth ; and the philo sop'ler of this country, to whom we are indebted in a great measure for the promulgation of the remedial power of animal magnetism, was ejected from a college boasting of its liberal foundation, of its liberal profes sors, yet not possessing sufficient liberality to listen to the voice of truth." After having read those extracts the President stated that Mr. Atkinson, a member of the Society, who was then in the room, had made similar experiments with the like success, of which he would read an account at the next meeting. his statements were confirmed by two other members then also present, Mr. Kirby and Mr. Nodin. After a few words from those gentlemen in corrobora- two, and from Mr. Logan nod other members, expressive of their:curiosity, and of their conviction that the' sub ject deserved attention and investigation, the meeting adjourned.

The Mitcham Anti-Corn-law Asssociation, in announcing a public meeting for Friday evening next, say they disclaim any party political motives • they therefore respectfully request the attendance of all per sons of every shade of political opinion at the meeting, and request their aid and co-operation. They respect fully call the attention of the public to the following. statement of what the Corn-laws has done to this dis trict :—" In- the year 1820, there were thirteen print works on the river Wardle, in full and active employ. At the present time there are only six'print-works, and those not half employed. In 1820 there were upwards of 3,000 persons fully employed in the same. At the present time there are not more than 450 engaged at them and they are not half employed. In 1820 there were paid per week in the same 3,000/. wages.

L:llEB.—The premium on gold at Paris is. 7 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10H. p ounce for standard gold,:gives an exchange of 25.32. - a d the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.50, it follows that gold is 0.72 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from llainburgh the price of gold is 428' per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 103 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.61, and the exchange at Hainburgh on London at short being 13.81, it follows that gold is 0.93 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 109 per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng land and America being 109 23-40 per g c a en s t. t , it follows ; against that the exchange is 0.58 per cen l t orli being f or bill s But the quoted exchange at New at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. A movement is just now being made in the Coffee trade, for a modification of the duties levied on the vari ous descriptions; and the promoters have, it is said, already prepared a petition to the President of the Board of Trade, eriabodying their wishes on.the subject. The matters •ffiscussed in the petition, which has gone the round, and received the signatures of all the lea g, in the trade, are not new, but have before boeli broached, though without any practical success, and the reason why they are again renewed is the confident knowledge of the desire of the present Government to look into the various evils complained of as existing in our commercial system, with the view of rendering all ne cessary relief. The petitioners appear to consider that the reduction of the present duties levied on Coffee are not telly necessary to the existence and prosperity of the trade, but also that the revenue • would be greatly increased bythe alteration, and show that since the duty has been re duced from Is. per lb. to 6d. per lb. there has been an increase in the collection by the Customs and Excise of nearly double the amount originally collected. The scale of duties proposed, and which are stated to be sufficient for the protection of the various interests iden tified with the trade, if proper measures are adopted to 'prevent the enormous adulteration now in practice by disreputable dealers, is 3d. per lb. on certificated British plantation coffee ; 3d. per lb. on Mysore, which is stated to be in reality British plantation ; 4id. per lb. on coffee imported from British ports within the limits of the East India Company's charter, without a certificate of growth; ' and 73d. per lb. on all foreign coffee direct ; which it will be observed is a reduction of one-half of the existing duties, except in the case of Mysore, which is reduced one-third, •to bring it on a level with the admission of the produce ,of our colonies, and for the reason before stated. There is every reasonable' expectation, seeing. the high respectability and character of the parties who have taken the matter up, of its receiving attention in the proper quarter. HE X—Excapting some few transactions of trifling importance in Spanish and Portuguese securities, the Foreign Market was in an inert state. Portuguese rather took a start, but for what reason, excepting that the Government at Lisbon are contracting more loans upon nsorious and ruinous conditions, and therefore plunging more deeply 'and irretrievably into debt, does not appear. The immediate effect may be to enable them to raise money sufficient to pay a dividend more or so here upon the bonds ; the more certain effect hereafter must be to disable them from payments altogether, when the newly-created debt comes to press for redemption or dividends in addition to the old.l Cape papers of intermediate dates, and Graham's Town Journals, to the sth Nov., have arrived to-day. The prospects of the farmers of the latter colony were very encouraging. The result of the sales of the last ship ment of wool to this country had been received, and had prove to be most satisfactory. The cross between the Leicester rams and the Saxon and Merino ewes had fetched the highest prices, far above give of the origi nal Merino and Saxon breeds. Independent of the value of the wool grown off this description of sheep, the quantity has been, at the lowest calculation, double that of the other, while the weight of the carcase was in creased nearly 50 per cent.; and the animals throve far better than the old sort, and came earlier to maturity. This sort of wool was of a firmer staple, and with more body than is usually met with in the produce of the Cape, and by comparison with the prices realised by the other farmers, showed that the cross had been adiantageous in .every respect. The value of land was rapidly improving ; a farm, which two years since had been sold for a sum not quite equal to 2,0001., had lately been resold for 3,500/., or about 14s. per acre. This presents a complete contrast to the land in the districts which are altogether culti vated with vines and corn, in the neighbourhood of the old districts, where for sonic time past it had been diffi- Cult to find fir it purchasers, except at. rates which were merely nominal. Port Natal was also increasing in importance. The bar at the entrance, which had hitherto been supposed to be an obstacle sufficient. to render the harbour useless, had been lately passed by vessels, which, upon sound ing, f;mnd 18 feet 4 inches upon it. It was also content- - plated to fiirin a jetty, plenty of materials being easily procurable ; and it was expected that when this work was completed, the depth of water on the bar would be 30 feet, a fact most material for the steamers with which it was likely this port would be visited. The depreda tions of the Caffres were increasing, and called for a de termined and vigorous opposition. St N.—The public securities evinced more firmness, in the absence, however, Of any extensive purchases. ‘Ylien on. a. the Government sales are suspended there is every probability of a steady improvement in prices. Consols for immediate transfer were quoted 88& to 89k, and for the Account 891 to 89k. Exchequer Bills were a. shade higher, viz. 15s. to 18s., and India Bonds 10s. to 12s. premium. Bank Stock realised 167, and East India Stock 2461 to 247. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were at 98 4 1 to 99, and the Three per Cent. An nuities 891 to 89.. The market for Portuguese Bonds again exhibited an improvement to-day, but Spanish Stock was flat, and in the other Foreign Bonds there was no alteration. The New Five per Cents. Portuguese advanced from 33 and 334 to 34 and 342 for Money, and touched 34 1 " for Time. The Three per C en t s . rose to 19,-/ and 901. Spanish Active Bonds were 24/ ; Mexican 291 ; Colombian .1; and Brazilian 65 ; Buenos Ayres Bonds were 19i to 20; and Peruvian 15 to 151 ; Dutch Five per Cents. brought 1001 to 101. The Railway Shares also manifested less inactivity. Great Western were. 23, the New 11 ; the Birmingham 80, the New 27 ; and the South Western 198 to 20k premium. Brighton were 11?,-, and Eastern Counties 144 discount.

This extensive and populous parish has become once mare the scene of angry contention on the irritating sub ject of Church-rates. The regent decision of the Court of Queen's Bench having, by means of Mr. Sturges Bourne's Act, which admits plurality of voting in respect of property, vested all parochial offices.in the hands of the Tory party, they have not failed to annoy the Libe rals by the most shamefully partial collection of every description of rates and taxes. At the last Vestry meet ing, one of the agents employed by Wie Reform Associa tion, roved that by means of a manoeuvre, cunningly conceived, although clumsily executed, no less than six hundred of the Liberal voters had been disfranchised within a few days of the last general election, the collec tors having been instructed not to serve the notices within the time specified by the Act of Parliament, especial care being taken that the electors who were know to be favourable to the Tory candidates should have ample The strata , ,in havitig failed, end Messrs. Hawes and intimation for payment of the rates. ma jority, the Tories have taken occasion to revenge them- D'Eviicotirt. hating been returned by a triumphant ma selves by th- exaction of every parochial impost, against the Liberals. Finding it impossible tomake a newChurch ratc... they are pressing for payment of the instalments of a very large old one, with which the parish was encum bered some years back, for building additional churches, there being still several thousand pounds of the debt in arrear. This year, there having been a surplus of 7631. accruing from the Pedlar's Acre estate, the Tories pro posed that it should go in aid of the Chumh-rate. No new rate having been maile, the Liberals objected that there was no precedent to sanction the approbation of • that fund to such purpose. The vestry divided against the vote by a large majority, but on a poll of the parish, the Church party carried their point, Sturges Bourne's Act, giving them a colourable majority by the operation of brick and mortar voting. Not content with this vic tory, they are now enforcing the arrears of the church building-rate. Seizures are almost daily made upon the effects of diiit:ent ing clergymen' and laymen ; and all who are known to be opposed to the demands of the church are sing-led out as victims. The substantive ground of complaint is the unequal mode of collection that has been resorted to, and, with a view to obtain some mitigation of the burdens, a public meeting is to he convened, in order to.eonsider what steps it may be advisable to adopt under these circumstances. - mOz 10 : 0 l'2. 11-1 ~~ 1 r
