RESOLUTIONS, founded on the REPORT and BALANCEe SHEET read at the General Meeting of the Members of th- BRITISH and FOREIGN 'INSTITUTE, on Saturday, thp 31st of May, and carried unanimously. Right Hon. the EARL of DEVON, In the Chair. Proposed by JAMES SIMPSON, Esq. ; Seconded by Captain MAcoxocinE, " 1. That the Report and Balance-sheet now read be adopted, and printed lbr general eirculat'on among the Members ; and-that-the - ' suggestions and recommendations of the Committee, contained in the Report, be approved and carried into execution." Proposed by Lord JAMES STUART, M.P. ; seconded by Z. A. JESSELL, Esq. " 2. That the position attained by the Institute, at the close of this, the second year of its existence only, is highly satisfactory, as show ing, that notwithstanding all the difficulties, opposition, and pre judices with which it has had to contend, its present income has been made to cover its actual expenditure : and that the value of Its as sets greatly exceeds its liabilities."

FOR BILE, INDIGESTION, AND DISORDERS OF THE STOMACH AND LIVER. - . DR. A. A. HARVEY, - of Bath, formerly Sur geon in the East India Company's Service, recommends to the Public his Family Pills. The great benefits ' resulting from an efficacious household medicine must be manifest to all. This Medicine is not put forward as a cure for every complaint, but in those cases of sudden and temporary ill ness so frequently occurring in families, it will be found of singular service, as its operation is extremely mild, as well as effectual. The large and steadily increasing sale of these Pills, princi pally from the recommendations of those who have expe rienced their salutary qualities, is the best proof of their ex cellence. A few doses win convince those suffering from Indi gestion, from whatever cause arising, that their effects are perma nent. Tbey remove obstructions of the bowels ; act upon the kid neys, stimulating the absorbents to carry off those fluids which might otherwise terminate in Dropsy. They hve been fbund of i n fi n it e service, both in England and during Dr. Harvey's practice in the East Indies, in preventing and curing the Jaundice ; in p a ssing off Gall Stones and restoring a healthy action to the Liver. Ladies particularly beneficial both befor e an d a ft er th e i r w il confinement.lflndt hem These truly excellent Pills are to be procuree, genuine of Edwards, 67, St. Paul's Church-yard, whose name will be engraved on the Go vernment Stamp. Price Is. lid. per boa. Sold also by Sangor, 150, Oxford-street ; White, 24,Cornbill ; and by most respec tableCherists. JAMES ST. AVBTN. " 3. That though the Annual Subscriptions to the Institute were orizinally flied at too low a scale for the varied advantages and plea sures which it offers to the Members, it is thought best to continue them for the present, without any change, the Council relying on th e efforts of the Members generally (now that all doubt of success and stability is removed) to exert themselves in their respective circles, by correcting misapprehensions, and making the real merits and attractions of the Establishment more generally and more accu rately known, so that by constantly increasing numbers, the income may be proportionately improved, without any addition to the exist ing rates, and the funds be thus made adequate to accomplish all the improvements contemplated and desired." Proposed by Sir GEORGE STAUNTON, Mt.; seconded by GEORGE WILBRAHAM, ESQ. " 4. That one of the most effective modes of making extensively known the nature and character of the Literary Proceedings of the Institute, will be to give the widest possible circulation to the First Volume of its transactions, in which these proceedings will be fully and faithfully recorded :—and that as this will be well calculated to convey accurate information into circles where much misapprehension may prevail, it is strongly recommended to the Members generally to promote its circulation accordingly." roposed by WYNN ELLis, Esq., ; seconded by Brig.-Gen. Sir HENRY PYNN, " 5. That the four classes of members, as at present arrra - ged, be in all future entries limited to two only ; namely, town members and country members ; the former to include all who reside or who have establishments in London, or within seven miles of the General Post office, or who remain in town for more than two months at any one time, and make use of the Institute during any part of that period ; and the latter, to embrace all who live beyond that distance, who have no establishments in the metropolis, and who do not remain in town beyond the specified period." Proposed by CHARLES COCHRANE, Esq. ; seconded by. HENRY TUDOR, Es@ . " 6. That the annual subscription for ladies, when elected members of the Institute, and entitled to all its privileges, shall be only the half of that paid by gentlemen of each class : and that families of four individuals shall be admitted to all the advantages of member ship at the rate of two single members only." Proposed by ALEXANDER PRINCE, Esq. ; seconded by JOHN ANDER- SON, Esq. " 7. That, in accordance with the recommendation of the annual report, single and season tickets for visitors to the Soirees and Lec tures be made available to members for the accommodation of their families and friends ; such tickets to be had through members only, and the names of those for whom they are required, to he furnished to the Secretary, previous to their being issued ; the scale of terms to be regulated by the Committee, and the arrangement to commence wills the next session." Proposed by Sir JOHN YARDE BULLER, Bart., M.P. ; seconded by ED- WARD BAYLIS, Esq. " 8. That the cordial thanks of the meeting be presented to the Right Hon. the Earl of Devon, the President of the Institute, for his continued and, zealous interest in its welfare : and to the truste es , Vice-Presidents, and Committee, forming the Council of the Institute, for their valuable co operation in the promotion of Its success." Proposed by the Rev. SEPTII4US Remser, M.A. ; seconded by DR. CAMPS. " 9. That the thanks of this meeting are also especially due to Mr. Buckingham, for the zeal, perseverance, and courtesy, with which he has devoted himself, during the past year, to the superintendence and direction of the affairs of the Institute, and to the efficiency and economy with which its funds have been administered, as well as for the liberality with which he has expended his own private means to increase its attractions. And they entertain a firm hope that the present absence of all remuneration to him for these services of the past year, will he amply compensated in . fliture ones, by the in creased number of Friends which each Member will feel it his duty as far as practicable, to add to the institute ; so as by this, the best and most unexceptionable of all means, to increase the stability and popularity of the Establishment, and thus promote and consolidate the interests of all who are concerned in its permanentwelfare." Proposed by Lord BROUGHAM; seconded by Sir JOHN YARDE BULLER, Bart., M.P. " 10. That it would be unjust, unreasonable, and injuriotis to the best interests of the Institute, to permit the Resident Director's ser vices for the past year to go wholly unrequited ; and as no surplus exists out of the Annual Subscription Fund, to stand in lieu of salary, it is resolved that the Members be invited to contribute a Guinea each for the purpose of providing such compensation, as a just testi monial of their satisfaction with his management, and that the fol- lowing gentlemen do form a Committee, with power to add to thoir numbers, for the purpose of carrying this resolution into effect ; and that the Committee be at the same time instructed to inquire whe ther any reductions can be made in the expenditure, whhout impair ing the efficiency of the Establishment."

These Pills are (Yom the prescription of a celebrated Court Physician, and were used by the late Lord Eldon, and are put forth as calculated to remove two com plaints, to both of which Gentlemen of the Learned Professions are more or less subject (viz., costiveness and indigestion), and are pa tronised by the highest Officers in the State.

A Fragrant White Powder, prepared from Oriental Herbs of Ines timable virtue for preserving and beautifying the TEETH and strengthening the GUMS. It eradicates the factitious formation of tartar, and thus lends a salutary growth and freshness to the gums. It removes from the surface of the teeth the spots of incipient decay, polishes and pre serves the enamel, imparting the most pure and pearl-like whiteness ; while from its salubrious and disinfecting qualities,. it gives sweetness and perfome to the breath. Being an anti-scorbutic, the gums also share in its corrective powers ; scurvy is eradicated from them, a healthy action and redness are induced, so that the teeth (if loose) are thus rendered firm in their sockets. As the mest efficient and ragrant aromatic cleanser and preserver of the teeth and gums ever known, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has for a long series of years occu pied a distinguished place at the toilets of the Sovereigns and the No bility throughout Europe, while the general demand for it at once an nounces the favour in which it is held by the public at large. • Price 2s. 9d. per box, duty included.

And being now arrived here, in pursuance of our mission, we beg leave to send you some particulars regarding the proposed establish- Ment, in the hope that you will be pleased to give it the benefit of your support by contribution or otherwise, Under that impression, we will do ourselves the honour of waiting on you, in a day or two, to learn your determination ; but should we he so unfortunate as not to have an opportunity of seeing you personally, we hope you will be kind enough to favour us with your views, to the above address, on or before 12th instant. The primary object of the projected Institution is the accommoda tion of pauper lunatics, and of other lunatics in poor circumstances, in the northern counties of Scotland, which comprise an extent of surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of about 250,000. Yet, with the exception of a very few cells attached to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all this wide district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of the Insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up wards of 700, are left in a state of wretched destitution, either burden some to their poOr relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam ing about the country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the community from their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the in jury, and the terror of the country. To abate this crying evil, this heart-sickening and frightful neglect and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients. The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least 8,000/. will be required to erect the necessary buildings, and to form a fund for the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable progress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, in pro curing subscriptions ; and hopes are confidently entertained that with Metropolitan, and perhaps Colonial aid, the necessary funds will be obtained to secure this invaluable boon for the poor, and re move one of the worst blots on the humanity of our countrymen. The rules for the government of the Institution will be of course de termined at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub mitted to them on principles fitted to secure a liberal and efficient system of management, comprehending the chief official funtiouaries of the district, but giving to the Subscribers due and ample powers of control and recommendation. We are, respectfully, Your very obedient servants, (Signed) ' W. H. COLQUHOUN. JOHN MACKENZIE.

The Mineral Waters of Homburg take their rise at the foot of the Taunus mountains, two hundred yards above the level of the sea. To the original springs, the reputation of which is so perfectly estab lished in Germany, that there have lately been joined fresh sources, which from the intensity of their mineralisation and the energy oftheir action in certain morbid cases, have elevated them to the first rank among the mineral waters of Germany. The springs of Homburg are five in number. They have been analysed by the celebrated Professor Liebig. Notwithstanding the chflerences which exist between them, they may be considered as the same medicament diversely modified. Their mineral principles re main the same, with no other difference than their quantities and proportions. This affords to the physicians the highly valuable ad vantage of applying to each individual case the peculiar water best adapted to it, and cf modifying the treatment according to the eoUrse and progress of the complaint. The internal use of these waters is of constant efficacy, above all when drunk at their source, for then the vivifying air of the moun tains, the diversion of mind by the moving scene, and the abstrac tion from the cares of the world, concur in assisting the action of the medicinal beverage. . The waters of Homburg are stimulant, tonic; alterative, and aperient. They are suited to all cases requiring an ame li orat i on of the disordered state of the stomach and other intestines, by giving a om them. peculiar stimulus to these organs when necessary to excite the abdo minal circulation, to assist the secretory processes, and to regularise o s f pl t e h e e n, diingehsyrive nutrition and assimilation. Their great success has been recognised erauenndtsiceo,fththeehelmivoerrr'hionidasff, affections s g s e t o i m n f f e i n t t h e t e constipation. In c i n h o e n i d il r a i r a g , gout and most l os aff t h e a c p ti p o y ns re p su ro lt d s u a c r e e d d b er y lv d e e d ra fr n During the four years which have elapsed since these springs first obtained their merited celebrity, the city of Homburgh has greatly improved. A new towh has grown up by the side of the old, and new hotels and private houses afford to visitors all the comforts re quired by invalids, and luxuries to be found in the most favourite watering places. .... The forests, which surround Homburg like a rich zone, are piereel with rides and drives by which the residents at the Baths may, with ease and pleasure, visit the Feldberg, the Rock of Elizabeth, Luther's Oaks, and all the picturesque sites of the Taunus. The Directors of this grand Establishment have constructed a mag nificent Casino, which—by the beauty of its architecture, the excel lenee of its distribution; and the richness of its decorations—surpasses any building hitherto erected at any point on the banks of the Rhine. It contains splendid saloons for balls and concerts ; rooms for the gamzs of Trento et Quarante, and for Roulette tables ; a Cabinet for reading, in which are most of the German, French, English, Russian, Belgian, and Dutch journals; a Caffee-room ; a Divan for smoking, opening on to a fine terrace laid with asplialte, and a grand dlning-room With a table-d'hote, served a la Francaise, twice a-day, viz. at one and five o'clock. The excellent orch es t ra from the Theatre of Mentz performs three m a o o rn f in th g e , at the ; Sp an rii a lgs in ; i t n he th e e ve a n ft il a ig rn in oon l o n a t r l ' in the grand Ball-room. t t h in e es be a tiu d t a it y ni Concerts, Balls, and Fetes of every description succeed each other without interruption.' The Directors shrink from no sacrifice to render this watering place as delightful as possible to its visitors, and to this end have rented about 50,000 acres of forest-lands and plains, all abounding in game of every description, as well a reserve Park for the Grandees Chasses at the close of the winter season. The Casino of Homburg, Is the only establishment of the kind that has enjoyed hitherto the privilege of remaining open all the year, and the eontirmation of is tables for play, its balls, its concerts, and its hunting parties through out the winter-season, makes it attract a numerous and select so ciety from every quarter of Europe. • • The JourneyfrOm London to Homburg, passing through Cologne, Mentz and Frankfort, is performed in 44 hours.

RAILWAY BILLS NOW IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS —ln addition to the four Railroad Bills, of which notice was given for the second reading on Thursday, the following Bills have reached the House of Peers from the Commons. They have been read a first time, and the parties promoting and opposing them attended before the Standing Order Committee of the House of Lords yesterday, in order to examine into the preliminary evidence tot.ching the standing orders, which, if they have been complied with, and the Bills are opposed, then Select Committees, of five Peers each, will be appointed for such as come under that descrip lion, and the evidence will be regularly gone into. The Bills in question are—the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, the Bristol and Exeter branches, the York and North Midland (Bridlington branch), the Dunstable, and Birmingham, and London, the Bed. ford and London, the York and Scarborough Deviation, the Hull and Selby (Bridlington branch), the Whitb i y notifv an o d hu Pi nd c r k ed eri e n l g e , rg th y. e Scottish Central, the Eastern Counties (Whittleeea Deviation), the Exeter and Crediton, and the Midland Railway (Nottingham to Lincoln) Bills.

THE "ABOVE-BRIDGE" NEW IRON STEAMERS. We have had much pleasure in noticing from time to time the great and important improvements which have been made in steam navigation below London-bridge, and we have now equal gratifica. tion in announcing the completion of the chain of communica tion " above-bridge," with those localities on the Thames which are most interesting from their position and association, and emi nently attractive from the surrounding scenery. On Monday, the exertions of a spirited company, at the head of which are Messrs. Chaplin (who were the first to support the iron steam-boats on the river), were crowned with complete success by the introduction of two excellent well-adapted boats to run from Kew to Chelsea. This association, known as the Kew, Brewton!, and Ham. tra.rsmith Junction Irom Steamboat Company, have com. meeced their speculation with two boats called the Childs Hareld and Lalla Rookh, to he followed by another named the Waverley. They are built by Messrs. Ditchburn and Mare, of Blackwell, with engines by Penn and Son, ota the oscillating principle. They are about 110 feet long, twelve feet in breadth between the paddle-boxes, and have engines of ‘24-horse power. The greatest draught of water is two feet, and they are well formed, neatly fitted, and in every respect suitable for the public convenience and pleasure. Thursday, the Directors, Shareholders, and friends, proceeded in the two boats, Childe Harold and Lalla Rookh, on its excursion up tt - e river to the varions points from which they are destined to ply. The vessels were decked out with flags; the starting place at Chelsea w.ts also dressed fur the occasion, and salutes were fired from the shore and from the Lalla Itookh, at intervals, all the way up, and :he excellent Royal Sappers and Miners basal, from Woolwich, gave a delightful zest to the enjoyment on the river, beneath a beautiful sky and a balmy atmosphere. The steamers went up as far as Richmond, and then returned to Kew, where, after the party had w andered through the well.ordered bota nicat gardens, or strolled along the sunny banks of the Themes, they partook of an elegant efejettner beneath a large marquee, erected by Mr. Lee, on the green sward, fronting the river, belonging to the Rose and Crown. Wines of many sorts were bountifully supplied, and tine fruit and delicious ices tempted the nice palate. The band poured forth at intervals martial and. other strains, and aßer complimentary toasts had been drunk s the chairman, Mr. Chaplin, Mr. Ditchburn, Mr. Penn, &c., the mazes of the dance were indulged in by the ladies and gentlemen for some time; coffee was then served, and the company re-em barked and returned down the river to their respeetive horses,. much delighted with the arrangements which had afforded thesis so much pleasure. Only one thing seemed to excite the least apprehension, and that was, passing under and between those antiquated and rude props, which are called Battersea and Putney Bridges. The difficulty attending the navigation at those parti cular places is increased by the ill.constructed narrow arches of those bridges, which loudly call for those improvements which the importance of safely navigating the Thames " above-bridge" de mands. The boats were conducted up and down with great skill and carefulness, and we heartily wish the directors success in Oleic enterprise. The fare is to be 4d. from Kew to Chelsea. RAIL IT vV _L. AY BILLS (IRELAND). The Select Committee appointed to inquire and report whether and which of the Standing Orders which are enforced in the of Railway Bills in Great Britain are unnecessary, and onebi be dispensed with in the case of Railway Bills in Ireland.. have considered the matters to them referred, and agreed toils* fol. lowing Report:— Your Committee have examined several witnesses of considerable experience as engineers, agents, or solicitors in the preparation and conduct of Irish Railway Bills, and although some difference of opinion has been expressed by them as to the operation and effect of the existing standing orders upon Bills for the formation of railways in Ireland, the general result of their evidence has been sin h as to convince your Committee that where due diligence is ased by the promoters of such Bills, no peculiar obstacles are pre sented by the standing orders to their successful passage through Parliament, of a sufficient magnitude to require a partial relaxa. tion of those standing orders in favour of Irish Railway Bills, It is true, that the great extent to which the subdivision of landed property is carried in Ireland, and the number of derivative inte. rests in land ill that country, render it a task of more than ordituiry, care and labour to complete the required plans, and to make oat the book of reference, which, by the standing order, No. W, are to be deposited by the promoters of any Railway Bill on or before the 30tb of Novembec. It is also alleged, that the lateness of the harvest in Ireland inconveniently abridges the time within which the necessary surveys can be matte. On the other hand, it appears that considerable engineering facilities are atlbrded to the surveys,, and the preparation of the plans for Irish Railways, by the exisY enee of the ordnance map of Ireland, which is on a scale of six inches to a mile. It is also notorious that whatever disadvantage arises from the lateness of the harvest in Ireland, must he also experienced in many parts of Scotland, and in some parts of Bp g land and Wales. Your Committee alto examined the Chairman of the Standing , Orders Committee, as to the nature of the investigation to whi. d g, railway projects are subjected previously to their introductir„,. t . the Bills into the House, and as to the general principle c . , whioh that investigation is conducted. They are satisfied f i ror dt his evi : deuce, as well as from that of other witnesses w AO have been charged with the conduct of railway Bills, that due allowance is from made circumstances for cases o of a f non-copeculiar mplianc nature. withthe stagy i4l tg t orders, ari s i ng Your Committee are therefore of opi .. •v : on, that no sufficient ground exists for an alteration of the sts„ w a ing orders applicable to Irish Railway Bills, as distinct from Vor. se of England and Scotland. Most of the suggestions which the y tiave re ce i ve d are applicable to 'of these suggestions appear to soured ailway Bills ; and as several to deserve collo.deration in any fhtuiterenhtureovrbiteeshionentato: y 7 ,, ounittce the stati.iing orders, they reennmend that, in th e , _ _ pointment ot a Commtitr ea s i m i lar to that which e practice of the House 'of late years to appoint from time to time for a general revision '',l the standing orders, the evidence appended to this report sh olo .d be referred to that. Committee. ll AY 9 - ! :s 10345. WATERLOO-11RIDG E COMPANY. —The If la early n'eeting of the p ropr i etors of Waterloo.bridge was held on Th ursday; at the Clown and Anchor Tavern, Strand; the Rev. John Rush in the chair. From the report presented by the committee, it ap peared that the tolls received during the last half year amounted to 7,927/. 16s. I Id. ; showing a decrease of 1,160/. I Id. as eons pared with' the corresponding period last year. The greater amount~ received in 1844 was to he ascribed to the stoppage of Westmins ter-tillage for vehicles, and without that casualty there was now, in fact, an increase in the horse gate reccips for the present year of 688/. 9.5, lid, The last year's receipts of the halfpenny tont exceLded that of th e penny toll by 477/. lls. 5d., and the dimints. Lion since the opening of the llungerford.bridge had been =rat less than anticipated, and was to be attributed more to the unfa vourable state of the weather than to the opening of that bridge. After pa: in;; the current expenses, and the interest upon the dill. pany's bonds, and making a dividend of 35. in the pound to the an. nuitants, in February last, there remained a surplus of 1,8991. 13s. 7d. The report further stated that great advantages were antics. pated from the opening of the new street from Lang.acre to Blows. bury and Redford-squares, and the projected railway termini in the vicinity of the bridge. During the last half.year the total re. ceipts amounted to 10,114/. 18s, lid., and the disbursements to 1,2941. Rs. i Id. ; the remainder being expended in the payment of interest and the dividend to th e an nuitants. The report h ating been unanimously adopted, the meeting adjourned until the first Thursday in December next. The i; rand Council of A rgau, after a long and stormy discussion, has rejected, by 147 votes to 48, the pretensions of the ultra-montane party of the canton. The question of the re establishment of the convents gave rise tes violent debates. The Grand Council has also rejected by a large majority a proposition tending to decree the separation of the canton in a confessional point of view.—Grt/iprani.
