It is as follows : To Lieutenant-General llowLmin LORD HILL, Baron Hill of Almarez and Hawkstone, G.C.8., Not more distinguished for his skill and courage in the field, _ _ which had devolved on him throughout the retreat, protected them into the ships, at his post by the ram parts of the town. The loss of the British on this occasion was estimated at eight hundred, and that of the French at three thousand. General Hill, in the interval between the first and second expedition to the Peninsula, proceeded to Ire land, to take the command of the troops in that country destined for the latter purpose; . and at the passage of the Douro, 12th of May, 1809, upon Lieutenant-General Paget losing his arm, Major-Gene ral Hill became first in command and completed that enterprise, and with the exception of the early months in the year 1811, when this officer was compelled to come to England, on account of ill health, he went through the entire service ofthe Peninsular contest. At the battle of Talavera, July 28th, 1809, which formed part of that immense series of battles which Spain and France regarded" in the light of a crusade, and car ried them on with all the enthusiasm of such a cause, General Hill was wounded in the head. He on this occasion commanded a division, and the conduct which he displayed in repulsing the enemy from a hill, which they almost impre gna bly occup i e d, an d aga i nst w hi c h all his powers and exertions were directed through the contest, received the highest commendation. He subsequently surprised a considerable corps of the enemy under General Girard, at Arroyo de Molino. Lord Hill continued with the army in the Penin sula till the termination of hostilities.

From the great tender ties' of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con ened very much swollen and adematons, and I suffered t estlfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which eiltended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the lu rin s• Navin.' exhausted every resource of relief which I and Y medical friends in the country could suggest, to no U h pose, I se t out for London with the intention of con bling Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt ~ca:'"in :'"in g.

" It is very rarely our practice to advert to books on profes sional subjects; but the Facts and Observations' appear, by 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 from us, which we give with much sincerity, will not be thought misplaced or without us use."—Examiner.

SOUTH SEA ISLANDS.—The New Hebrides, in cluding the islands discovered by Captain Bligh in 1789, are situated between lat. 13 deg. 15 min. and 20 deg. 5 min. S., and long. 166 deg. 40 sec. and 170 deg. E. The largest of the whole is Tierra dsl Espiritu Santo, which was first made known by Quiros in the year 1606. It extends more than seventy miles from north-west to south-east, with an average breadth of twenty-five. Farther south is Mallicollo, which is more than sixty miles long, and about twenty-eight broad, having a good harbour, called Port Sandwich, near its southern extremity. Erromango is fully eighty miles in circumference, and Tanna, which lies at no great distance, is com puted to be at least twenty in length. In the latter, a volcano exists in a state of great activity ; and, in deed, most of the cluster appear to have had their origin in the action of subterraneous fire. Hence the peculiar form of the islands which rise into lofty hills, and even mountains of great elevation. The valleys and level tracts along the coast are extremely fertile, displaying an immense profusion of vegetable riches. It is said, that more than forty different kinds of treos and plants are cultivated. The banana, sugar cane, yam, arum, batata, and curcuma, are grown with great care in fields regularly divided. The cocoa nut, bread fruit, the cabbage-tree, figs, almonds, and oranges, are common. Bamboos, pepper, and mastic, are abundant, and the nutmeg-tree also frequently . occurs. The usual domestic animals are reared, es pecially the pig, hogs, and a variety of fowls. The inhabitants belong to the race of Australian negroes, who also occupy part of the Fijee Islands; but, judging by their agriculture, it must he admitted that they have made farther advances in civilisation than any other of the kindred tribes.—Edinburgh Cabinet Library, No. XXXIII. Polynesia. The men found guilty of being concerned in the disturbances at Clermont were exposed on the pillory in that town on the sth instant. Some cavalry and infantry were drawn up round the pillory. The mo ment they mounted the steps in sight of the crowd, they all thundered out the Ilfarsellaise, and continued singing it to the end of their punishment, which lasted an hour. They were then conducted to the prison of Fontevrault. (From the Shrewsbury News of Saturday.) This melancholy event, which has been anticipated some time, we regret to state, took place this morning. His Lordship expired at twenty minutes before nine o'clock, at his seat, Hard wicke Grange, near this town. For some weeks past his Lordship has been confined to his room, and his health has been gradually declining. His relatives and friends have been unre mitting in their attendance upon him, and his last moments were cheered by the presence of those who were neatest and dearest to him. The following is a brief narrative of his Lordship's eventful career : His Lordship was born August 11, 1772, and was second son to the late Sir John Hill, Bart., of Hawk stone, who married Mary, one- of the daughters and co-heiress of John Chamore, Esq., of Petton, in this county, by which lady he had sixteen children, twelve of whom survived their mother. Lord Hill entered the army in the 16th year of his age. His first com mission was an ensigncy in the 38th regiment; and having obtained leave of absence, with the view of improving his military knowledge, he was placed at an academy at Strasburg, where he remained one year, and then accompanied his elder brother, and his uncle, the late Sir Richard Hill, in a tour through Germany, France, and Holland. Lord Hill commenced his military duty at Edin burgh, where he had the advantage of the best society, and received fr m many of the nobility and first families partictiFir notice. His removal from Scotland took place in consequence of an offer he received of a lieutenantcy in Captain Broughton's (afterwards Lieut.-General Sir John Broughton) in dependent company, on is raising the usual quota of men ' • this he soon after accomplished, and then, re moved as Lieutenant to the 27th. His friends being anxious for his early promotion, obtained permission for him to raise an independent company, which gave him the rank of Captain in the army in the year 1792. In the interval of his being attached to any particular corps, he accompanied his friend, Francis Drake, Esq., who went out as Minister on a diplomatic mission to Germany, from whence Captain Hill, through the recommendation of his friend, pro ceeded to Toulon, and was employed as Aide de-Camp to the then successful Generals com manding there—namely, Lord Mulgrave, General O'Hara, and Sir David Dundas. Captain Hill had not at that time attained his 21st year; but had the honour of receiving from each of his commanders decisive proofs of their approbation. He was slightly wounded in his right hand at the time General O'Hara was taken prisoner, and narrowly escaped with his life ; it being undetermined for some minutes between himself and a brother aide-de-camp, Captain Snow, who should ascend a tree, for the purpose of making observations respecting the enemy, the latter went up, and received a mortal wound, whilst Captain Hill, standing immediately beneath, was preserved unhurt. He was deputed by Sir David Dundas to be the bearer of the dispatches to England relating to the evacuation of Toulon by the British. His next appointment was to a company of the 53d, with which regiment he was on duty in Scotland and Ireland. His conduct at Toulon recommended him to the notice and friendship of Lord Lynedoch, who made him the offer of purchasing a majority in the 90th; this step was gladly acceded to by himself and friends, and was soon followed by pro motion to a Lieutenant-Colonelcy in the same regiment. He went through arduous duties with the 90th at Gibraltar and other places and had his full share in the memorable Egyptian campaign. In the action of the 13th of March, 1811, Major-General Craddock's brigade formed the front with the 90th Regiment, commanded by Lord Hill, then Lieutenant-Colonel, as its advanced guard. Sir H. Wilson states the conduct of the 90th in this affair to have been most honourable; and that nothing could exceed the intrepidity and firmness with which they charged the enemy. On this occasion Col. Hill re ceived a wound on the right temple from a musket ball, the force of which was providentially averted by a strong brass binding in front of his helmet ; the blow was, however, severe, and he was removed from the field of battle in a state of insensibility. When his situation was made known to Lord Keith he im mediately sent for him on board the Foudroyant. The kindness and accommodation the invalid received from his noble friend no doubt greatly accelerated his recovery; and enabled hi m to rejoin his regiment and continue on duty th e w h o l e o f t he campaign. The Capitan Pacha frequently saw Col. Hill whilst he was on board the Foudroyant, and with many good wishes and expressions for his welfare presented him with a valuable gold box, sword, and shawl. Soon after the re turn of the troops from Egypt the 90th was ordered to proceed through Scotland to Ireland, and Col. Hill conti nued unremittingly to perform his regimental duty till he was appointed Brigadier-General on the Irish staff. His principal stations in that country were Cork, Galway, and Fermoy ; the inhabitants of which places mani fested their approbation of his conduct by public ad dresses inserted in the Dublin papers. On leaving Cork he was presented with the freedom of that city. Early in the summer of 1808 he embarked with his brigade at Cove to join the army in England des tined to act in the Peninsula, and most of our readers are in possession of the authentic facts connected with his Lordship during the warfare. During the ,whole of Sir John Moore's advance and retreat, General Hill con tinued indefatigable in his exertions ; and he was e s t a blished with a corps of reserve, guarding the embark a ti o n of the army at Co runna. On General Hill's arrival in England, in the beginning of the year 1809, he found himself ap pointed Colonel of the third garrison battalion, and a bout the same period he b ecame possessed of Hard wicke Grange, an estate left to him by his uncle, the late Sir Richard Hill, Bart. The General had not been many days in London before he was directed by his Royal Highness the Duke of York, Commander-in-Chief, to hold himself in readiness for further service; and as soon as his instructions were completed, he proceeded through England (passing five days with his friends in this county) to take command of the troops ordered from Ireland for the second expedition to the Peninsula. In the year 1811 Lieutenant-General Hill was c ompelled to come to England on account of a severe illness brought on by exertion and fatigue in his pro fession during the active service of the Peninsular contest. He soon returned. At the battle of Tala vera General Hill was slightly wounded on the head. After which, the activity which enabled him to sur priseof the enemy under General Molino, is indicative, of his Gerard,ac o n a s t i d A e r r a r b o l; o corps de e high attainments as a military man. On this latter enterprise he captured the Prince d'Aremberg, who was sent prisoner to Oswestry,- - and afterwards to Bridgnorth, both in this county. When the thanks of both Houses of Parliament at Talavera, the then Chancellor of the Exche ciwueer voted r e ir to p t e h r e e e a v r a m i army, in consequence of the vic tory observed in the House of Commons, "that the manne r i n w hich General Hill had repulsed the enemy at the point of the, bayonet was fresh in every one's memory.int him Colonel of " His Majesty on this occasion was pleased to appoint the 95th. And after the battle of Arroyo de Molino , his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, in his speech at the opening of Parliament , I 812, noticed in the fol lowing terms General Hill's success : " The successful and brilliant enterprise, which t e rminated in the surprise, in Spanish Estramadura , of a French corps by a detach ment of the allied army under Lieutenant-General Hill, is highly creditable to that distinguished officer, and the troops under his command, and has contributed materially to ob struct Peninsula." In 1812 he was elect ed Me mber for the borough of the designs of the enemy in that part of the Shrewsbury. In May, 1814, General Hill was created Baron of , and an annuity of per annum was vote d by Parliament to his Lordship, and his hei rs male, with remainder to his signed at P ar i s i n M a y, 1814, 2,oool.Alpmhaerl v e . z and of Hawkstone hisPLeaocredshhaivpinrg been n ed to the bosom of his venerable father and his friends, at Hawkstoue, in the following th.

Immediately after this latter event Lord Hill was ordered to tak e a command in the Netherlands, and was present at the ever-memorable battle of Waterloo. His Lcrdship on that occasion had a horse shot under him ; and his two brothers were wounded. The most significant as . well as the most graphic epitome of Lord Hill's bullmit career is perhaps, Roleia, Vimiera, Corunna, Douro, Talavera, Busaco, Arroyo del Molino, Almarez, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, Hillette, Orthes, Aire, Tarbes, Tou louse, and Waterloo—there is not one of these me morable events, to the glorious consummation of which the daring intrepidity, or imperturbable coolness, promptitude, and presence of mind of his Lordship did not materially contribute. Perhaps the one in which he most distinguished himself, and the success of which is almost exclusively attributable to him, is the desperate fight of Almarez, in 1812, March 16, from which he took his second title. Wellington, having resolved upon his plan of operation, directed Sir Rowland Hill to destroy the bridge of Almarez, defended on both sides of the river by very formidable works and a sufficient garrison. The bold conduct and happy issue of this important expedition of General Hill gave a security and hope fulness to the offensive movements contemplated by Lord Wellington, which they otherwise wanted, and without which he could not have availed himself of any success to penetrate far into Spain. This important service was effected with the loss of only 15 officers and 162 privates killed and wounded. In reference to the battle of Waterloo, it is observed by Captain Moyle Sherer, that there does not seem to have been that accurate information gathered of the share borne by the corps under Lord Hill, in this most memorable battle, as in those actions already recorded. It is true, that for some time the corps of Lord Hill took no prominent part in the engagement. The post of his Lordship, during the severe combats at Hougoumont, La Haye Sainte, and on the centre of the position, was on the slope of the heights of Merke Brame, to the rightof the Nivelle road, cover ing the right wing of the general line. From this position he anxiously observed every movement of the enemy; and as Napoleon gradually concentrated his left, in the impetuous attacks upon Hougoumont, his Lordship carefully opposed him until the whole of his command was formed into squares on the heights which overlooked that important position be tween the roads of Nivelle and Gemappe. From this moment to the triumphant close of the battle he di rected their operations in person. In the great crisis of this conflict, when Napoleon made his last effort, and the Imperial Guard advanced to the attack, the services of Lord Hill, and especially of that brigade of his Lordship's corps commanded by Lieut.-General Adam, were conspicuous, and by the judgment and ardour with which he supported the British Guards he largely contributed to the final and glorious result. After the restoration of the Bourbon family to the throne of France, his Lordship was appointed second in ;command of the Army of Occupation in that country, where he remained till the evacuation of the country by the allied armies. In the year 1828 his Lordship was appointed the General-Commanding-in-Chief of the army of Eng land, a situation at the Horse Guards which he con tinned to fill under several Ministries to the present year. Though we believe Lord Hill, as a Commander, never suffered a defeat, yet no heedless sacrifice of life ever purchased for him the field of victory. The laurels he bravely won were solely attributable to his generalship and extraordinary skill in directing the energies of the troops under his command. " With Hill," it was usually observed by the soldiery, " both life and victory may be ours.' The soldier's friend was his acknowledged title. His Lordship was in his 71st year, and is succeeded in his title by his nephew and heir, Sir R. Hill, Bart., M.P., of Hawkstone, which will consequently cause a vacancy in the representation of the northern division of this county. As we before stated, Viscount Clive I will be the new Member. LORD HILL'S SPANISH CAM PAIGNS. Our Contemporary, to whom we are indebted for our preceding account of his deceased Lordship, has passed over in silence the important and stirring period of his campaigns in Spain, during the time extending from 1809 to 1813. The subjoined account supplies the deficiency : Lord Hill embarked for the Peninsula early in the summer of 1808, when he left Cove with his brigade. The first battle in which he actively took part in Spain was the celebrated fight of nonce, which en counter took place on the morning of the 17th of August, 1808. It was early on that day that thir teen thousand four hundred and eighty infantry, four hundred and seventy cavalry, and eighteen guns, issued from Obidos, and soon - afterwards broke into three distinct columns of battle. General Hill on this occasion formed with Generals Nightingale, Catlen Crawfurd, and Fane the centre, which was nine thousand in number, with twelve guns, commanded by Wellington in person, and villageV lCh e marched f 3ittt m s e t r d a . i g h L t a b a o g ai r de n s t w t a h s e p enemy b t edo by t a h n e elevated plain, and General Hill, who moved upon the right of the main road, being supported by the cavalry, and covered by the fire of his light troops, pushed forward rapidly to the attack. Laborde's position during this and the collateral movements ap peared desperate, yet, with the coolness and dexte rity of a practised warrior, he evaded the danger and fell lack to the heights of Zambugeira. The English determined to dislodge him from that formidable post. Hill and Nightingale advanced against his front, whch was of singular strength, and only to be approached by narrow paths, wind ing through deep ravines. A swarm of skir mishers starting forward, soon plunged into the passes. Hill, with his supporting column, followed, their for mation being disordered in the confined and rugged passes ; smoke, shouts, and the roll of musketry, marked the progress of his advancing troops, which were loudly answered by the enemy, and the defence was stoutly maintained, but as mightily resisted. General after General fell. The English gathered thickly on the heights. Laborde fell back to the Quinta de Bugaghera, and was himself wounded among the masses in his retreat. The vigour of the enemy's defence had only been excelled by the un daunted bravery and boldness of the attackers. Vimiero was Lord Hill's next engagement. La borde was again fully in the field. 'This battle took place on the 24th of August, a week only after the other. Kellerman, Bremner, Loison, Junot, Marga ron, and Solignac, all supported the command. Nevertheless, the heavy fires of our musketry soon eat into their centre. Our front of battle was on a depth of three lines, protected on steep declivities on either side, while a powerful artillery swept away the foremost of the French ranks. Brennier himself was taken, and thirteen guns and several hundred priso ners fell into the British hands. General llill, for the - part acted by him in the battle, received for his con duct the especial thanks of his Commander-in-Chief. General Hill was among those distinguished with ' Sir John Moore in the retreat to Corunna, when the English were pressed in their retreat with a fury never equalled in the history of a similar event. On the melancholy embarkation of our troops from this shore, on whose border our greatest soldier breathed his last, General Hill's brigade covered the with drawalof the columns, and after the heavy duties IRELAND. DUBLIN, DECEMBER 10. : 4 ! 1 ;!- DEANERY OF ST. PATRICK —JUDGMENT . • The Court of Delegates have delivered judgment in the Ling litigated case of th e appea l of t h e ' Rev .. v; Dr. Wilson against the election of the Rev. Robert Daly, as Dean of St. Patrick's. The point at issue was the validity of the votes of the Archbishop of Dublin and the Rev. Dr. Todd, which had been ten dered for Dr. Wilson, and rejected. The Judge of the Prerogative Court, Dr. Radcliffe, decided against both votes, and hence the appeal to the Delegates, who were unanimous in favour of the vote of the Arch bishop; but they differed, four to one, in regard to the vote of Dr. Todd. Mr. Justice Crampton (who being senior member of the Court, was the last to give his judgment), Baron Richards, Master Henn, and Mas ter Townsend are against the vote, and Judge Perrin alone for it. The d ec i s i on o f the Court is, therefore, against its validity, and as Mr. Daly still has a ma jority of one, his election stands. Dr. Wilson has the right to obtain a re-hearing of his appeal before a new Commission of Delegates ; but his intention on this subject has not transpired. It is stated that a near relative of Lady de Grey is to be the new Bishop of Cashel and Waterford. The Earl of Lucan and Mr. St. Clare O'Malley have both been removed from the commission of the peace for the county of Mayo, in consequence of the wordy conflict between them, in the Petty Sessions Court of Castlebar five or six weeks since. Under all the circumstances this appears to be a just decision of the Government; and it is creditable to Lord Eliot and Sir Edward Sugden that they hare had the manliness' to' send a Tory Peer to the right about, when. ustice and fair play required his dismissal. The result of this decision of the Government is to cut off all hope, on the part of Lord Lucan, of his succeed ing, at any time, to the Lieutenancy of the county of Mayo. MURDER OF MR. SCULLY—CORRESPON DENCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT. The following is the memorial of the Magistrates of the South Riding of Tipperary to Earl de Grey, to gether with his Excellency's reply : "Cashel, Dec. 2, 1842. " We, the undersigned Magistrates of the Southern Riding of Tipperary, feel deep regret at having to communicate to your Excellency the circumstance of thc barbarous murder of James 'Scully, Esq., of Kil feacle, a Magistrate of this county. We had hoped, and we trust with reason, that tranquillity had been comparatively established in this district of the county, inasmuch as the late constabulary returns of outrages exhibited at this meeting, prove a considerable dimi nution of heinous crime, as compared with antecedent periods. We, therefore, trust that this lamentable event may prove to be an isolated case. " We take this opportunity to call your Excel lency's attention to the various memorials we have in i'ormer years addressed to the Government of Ireland on the subject of the law respecting the possession of arms by the public, in which we have invariably prayed them to amend the present law, and render the penalties for their illegal possession more stringent. We conceive that the law at present in force is totally inefficient for the protection of life and property. We respectfully observe to your Ex cellency that the present law having been in force for many years—by great length of time, and from the loose manner in which the registration of arms was formerly conducted, that fire- arms have fallen into the hands of persons not qualified to bear them, al though they may be legally entitled to possess them. We, therefore, earnestly hope that as many months must elapse before such alteration can become law, that your Excellency will be pleased to direct the adoption of such measures as may have the effect of withdrawing from persons not duly qualified the pos session of arms, although, perhaps, legally registered, if such can be legally done. We respectfully admit that by so doing great practical benefit will accrue to the community at large. "We beg to assure your Excellency that the Magistrates of this Riding of Tipperary will exert their utmost powers to apprehend and bring to justice the perpetrators of this horrid crime. [Signed by Lord Glengal and 28 other Magistrates.] " To his Excellency Earl de Grey," &c. " Viceregal Lodge, Dec. 6, 1842. "My Lord—l had the honour of receiving the papers transmitted through your Lordship from the Magistrates of the South Riding of the county of Tipperary whose names were affixed. I will request your Lordship to assure those gentlemen that their representation shall reeeive my most anxious atten tion, and to express my thanks for the assurance of their best endeavours to support the law. " I remain, my Lord, your obedient servant, " The Earl of Donoughmore, &c. " DE GREY. GLOBE.—The murder of Mr. Scully—who was recently assassinated in that savage way in which the Irish peasantry generally mutilate, as well as murder, the victims of their blind revenge, has led to a meeting of the Magistrates of the South Rifling of Tipperary, at which Lord Glengall presided. The desire shown by his Lordship, and the body of Magistrates, whose position and office render them deeply interested in the peace of the county, to restore tranquillity and or der—both of which are at present seriously endan gered and interrupted . by the disorganized condi tion of the peasantry—is worthy of praise. The mea sures suggested and adopted, as likely to lead to the dis covery and apprehension of the assassins, as well as to protect the district from similar atrocities, seem to have been well conceived, and we trust will be found effectual. We cannot, however, read the speech which Lord Glengali addressed to the assembled Magistrates, and to which approving publicity has been given by the Orange journals , without regret and disapproba tion. The Standard, echoing the laudations of the anti-popular Press on the other side of the Channel, bestows upon it characteristically energetic encomiums, and seizes upon certain pas sages in the address of the partial and hoodwinked peer, on which to found an ill-merited approval of the system adopted and the conduct pursued by the great body of Irish landlords toward their tenantry. For the purpose of vindicating the former from blame, and of establishing against the latter the charges which the Standard, and such writers, per severingly urge against them, they affirm that the peasantry are stimulated ' to these deeds of blood by religious antipathies, to which they are prompted by their priests—that the outrages and murders are political and, not agrarian ; origi nating with persons significantly_ hinted at, but not named, who have, it is insinuated, an interest in keep ing the country in a state of ferment, whose agents travel from district to district, to organise confedera cies, and to prompt the infatuated people to acts of outrage and deeds of blood—these are the representa tions in which such journals indulge ; sometimes by bold assertion, but more frequently by inference and implication. STANDARD.—The United Service Gazette has kindly saved us the necessity of replying at any length to the Morning Chronicle's attempt to retain for the late Ministers a fragment of the merit of the late campaign in China. As our able weekly Contem porary states, the only connection the Melbourne Cabinet have had with the plan of Lord Colchester is this, that they rejected it two years ago as impracticable. Let it be shown, nay, let it be specifically stated, that they ever revoked the act of rejection. It may be, and we believe it is, true, that Lord Colchester (secure in the particular case that his views could not reach the enemy) did com municate his plan to more than one naval or military friend, and that it by some non-official channel more than a year ago reached Sir H. Gough, while occupied in the miserable buccaneering war to which his orders restricted him. That such an officer should see at once the preference due to the decisive and not impracticable course proposed by the plan in question, may be easily believed ; indeed, it is probable that his own genius, aided by local knowledge, would suggest the adoption of such a course without any hint from Europe ; but be this as it may, the hint never came from the Government, who had contemptuously rejected Lord Colchester's plan. Sir Robert Peel took office in the middle of September, 1841, and invited Lord Ellenborough (Lord Colchester's brother-in-law) to become a Member of his Cabinet. Is it creditable, that a pro position for a new line of operations in China would be an hour kept secret from him, or that he would lose an hour in giving instructions as to what line of operations should be pursued in China ? But orders given, say, on the Ist of October, would reach the British force in the Chinese seas before the end of March, and the campaign did not commence until June. Looking, then, to the dates, there can be no doubt from what quarter the orders under which Sir H..Gough and Sir W. Parker acted proceeded, though the continuance of Lord Auckland in India may have a little delayed the course of communication. So much for probabilities—all the means of knowledge that can be at present generally accessible. We shall soon have the facts authenticated. We promise that when the facts shall become public, they will fully support the just inference from these probabi lities, and, indeed, every word that we have said upon the subject. R. Potter, Esq., M.A., Fellow of Queen's College, has been appointed Professor of Mathematics in the University of Toronto, Upper Canada. We under stand that the appointment was made by Lord Lyttel ton, in whose hands it was vested by Sir Charles Bagot, the Governor.—Cambridge Chronicle. We understand that a subscription has been raised among the resident members of the Senate to relieve the Professor of Music from the loss incurred on ac count of the musical festival during the installation week, in July last ; and that the amount subscribed is within 201. of the actual loss, viz., 350/.—Cam bridge Chronicle. TEE LEAGUE AND TILE CHARTISTS.—A meeting of the Chartist delegates was convened on Sunday at three o'clock, in their Hall, Old Bailey, to transact business relative to the forthcoming Birmingham Con ference; Mr. John Mudge in the chair. After the special business, Mr. Knight, the delegate for Fins bury, rose and begged to give notice of the following motion :•—" That while we remain unaltered in our opinions respecting the Anti-Corn-law League, we con ceive it to be highly impolitic and unjust to oppose them in their endeavours torepeal an obnoxious law, and also that it is our duty to conciliate and unite all classes of Reformers." He (Mr. Knight) was authorised by his locality to press this motion : it had already been adopted by the Chartists of Finsbury, and he thought a wiser system of policy could not be pursued, seeing that many, if not all, of the League were in favour of an extension of the franchise.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Skelton would second the motion upon the grounds of justice and expediency. He though the people had too long been fighting the battle of the Tory landed interests.—(Hear, and No, no.) He was of opinion that disturbing public meetings was not the way to . reform the franchise, but on the contrary, the way to allow a Tory Ministry to perpetuate the abuse and laugh at its victims.—(Hear, hear.) The notice was then entered on the books, and the meeting separated. In pursuance of resolutions passed at meetings 'held a short time back both in Lambeth and Southwark, a Company has been formed, called " The River Wan dle Company," for the purpose of supplying the in habitants of Lambeth and adjacent parts with pure water, and doing away with the combined monopoly of the three local Companies, whose rates have been raised to a most unjustifiable extent. An Act of Parliament will be applied for next session, and the number of shares taken up at the present time leaves no doubt as to the state of feeling on the subject. JOURNEYMEN BAKERS OF LONDON.—At nine o'clock on Saturday night a public meeting of the journeymen bakers of London was held at the Asso eiation Rooms, Holborn, to adopt measures to secure to them fair wages, and protect them from the exces sive labour to which they are subjected. A deputation from Dublin was in attendance. Mr. Patrick Crewe having been called to the Chair, Mr. Joseph Williams in a very lengthy address, stated the condition of the journeymen bakers, whom he said worked for twenty hours a day in places worse than the condemned cells of Newgate, while their wages did not ex ceed 12s. or 20s. a week.—(hear, hear.) The Press sadly calumniated both masters and men, when it said that they baked 100 loaves from a sack of flour. He was well aware, that for the master who made one shilling, hundreds were involving themselves in debt.—(Hear.) He knew several who had worked 200 sacks of flour a week to 'fie reduced to the most abject poverty. Mr. Watso n , an d ot h er speakers, having spoken in similar terms, a Committ ee was appointed to effect a union be,twfoeretnhetlpluerpmoassetersof ei r 'i"s'i S n :C rn rAcues.—" Madam," redressing o E f t h t o e h r i e r A g U r l i n , e A i i t, l a e ß n d c o said the keeper at "Don'tthe you see, y gateof the Royal Gardens, Paris, "I cannot permit you to tak e y our d og i n to the gardens."my good friend," said the lady, putting a couple of shillings into the keeper's hand, " that it is a cat, and not a dog ?" "Madam," said the keeper, instantly softening the tone of his voice, "I beg year p ar d on for any mistake; I now see clearly, by the aid of the pair of spectacles you have been so good as to give me, that it is a cat, and not a dog." COLLIERS' STRIKE.—We are glad to announce that the Colliers' strike in this quarter is completely at an end. On Tuesday almost the whole of the old hands offered their services to Mr. Gordon ' but, of course, a great number of them could not be employed, as others had been engaged. Yesterday the pits were all in full operation with the necessary , complement of hands. No concession on the part of Mr. Gordon has influenced this determination of his old workmen ; the wages remain the same as they were previous to the strike. We have good authority for stating that, during the last four months, the sum of money paid by Mr. Gordon as wages has been leis by 6,000/. than it would have been had the works continued to go on without interruption.—Ayr Advertiser. The Courricr Francais was sold at Paris last week, by public auction. M. Leon Faucher, the rime damnee o f M . niers, went as high as 175,000 f. (7,0001.), but it was knocked down to -M. Theodore Boule, pro prietor of the Estafetle, for 7,2001. It was not known what would be the new politics of the Courrier Francais. --- MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. POST.—Money, for commercial purposes, was .0 little lower again to-day. An influential house in Lombard-street, which held funds at 21 per cent., gave notice to the lenders that for the future they would be unable to afford more than two per cent. The Bank averages exhibit no material change in the position of the Corporation since the publication of the former return. The bullion has increased, but the circulation has been moderately c on t rac t e d. The monthly statement was so very lately i ssue d as to have detracted much from the importance of the pre sent one. The arrival of the Lo cus t s t eamer f rom M a lt a , w ith the Chinese treaty, accompanied by a letter from the Emperor, undertaking to attach his signature thereto so soon as it shall have received the ratification of Queen Victoria, was made known in the course of the day, and the event seemed to create much interest among comm erc i a l men, inasmuch as little further time will now elapse before .the document passes into the hands of the Emperor for consummation. So much as is anticipated from the late arrangement in the way of trade, it is no more than natural that a somewhat feverish anxiety should be felt by sanguine and enterprising per sons for its formal completion. The treaty will no doubt be honoured with her Ma jesty's autograph with all practicable dispatch, and as speedily transmitted back to the celestial empire as it has been transmitted to Europe. It is said that Lord Ellenborough purposes to re turn to England as soon as he has settled the affairs of India on a better basis, and that the present Go vernor of Madras, the Marquis of Tweeddale, will assume the Governor-General's office. We hear that in this event Sir Henry Pottinger will proceed to Madras direct from China, and Sir 11. Gough will re lieve Sir J. Nicol lp.—Naval and Military Gazette. WILL or THE LATE MR. JOHN REEVE.—The will of the late John Reeve, the 'well-known comedian, has recently been proved in the Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The personal pro perty of the deceased has been sworn under the value of 4,0001. The property is pretty equally divided between his son and two daughters. r. Sams, bookseller, of Pall-mall, who was killed by being thrown from his carriage a short time since, was one of the executors of the will. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —TO DIE OR NOT TO A short time since Mr. John Robinson, a farmer, re siding at Wootton, near Bedford, was so amazingly increased in size by the dropsy, as to be twice his usual bulk. His thighs were as large round as the usual circumference of his waist. The water broke three large holes in his leg. In this state his medical man informed him be would be a corpse in two days. Mr. Robinson, by a solemn declaration, made the sth day of December, 1842, declares that he then dismissed his doctor, and that he saved his own life and com pletely cured himself by those wonderful Medieinez, Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which are sold by nearly every Medicine V en d or throughout the civilised world.
