The poor fellow lingered on through Thurs day night, and on Friday morning, between six and seven, breathed his last, in a state of perfect exhaustion. The deceased was about sixty years of age, and of robust constitution. —Lancaster Gazette. LUNACY AND LUNATICS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The report of the inquiry into the state of mind of Mr. Thomas Telford Campbell, in your journal of Monday, who it appears has been an in mate, and (from the abhorrence he expressed) an un willing inmate of Dr. Allen's lunatic asylum, High Beach, during the long period of 14 years, but having gainel his liberty by the decision of the jury (finding that he was of sound mind), should not be liaised over without observation and further inquiry. In the absence of a more able and better digested examination of his case, allow a fellow-sufferer of Mr. Campbell's, who two years since passed five long years in fire mad-houses, without his having been conscious of baying been af fected at any time with any aberration or unsound ness of mind, and as he is not conscious of any such change having taken place, now that he has passed the grand climacteric of life, he feels that if he was insane during any period of his confinement, he must have been so from his infancy, and which a lif e spen t in active, inventive, and useful employment would at once negative. Allow me to add my testimony to that of Mr. Campbell as to the annoyances to which persons are subjected in such establishments, and most loudly and bitterly would I complain of the manage ment of four out of the five houses in which I have been confined; but this might prejudice my letter, and annoy you with denials from the proprietors, if not with threatened actions for libel. I, therefore, desist. It is on the part of the many, very many (hundreds, if not thousands) of unfortunates not so privileged as Mr. Campbell in being allowed out-door exercise, but who, like myself, have been secluded and immured in lunatic asylums, under circumstances which, from my experien ce , I am free to declare that the change to the confinement of a prison would be as great a con trast, and as pleasing a change as that from a prison to a palace, and to be p re f erre d b o th i n t rea t ment an d comfort. These unfortunates, being quite capable of feeling and appreciating the miseries of a mad-house, and the contrasted enjoyments of free air, unrestrained exer cise, and a comfortable home, and who, like Mr. Campbell, and I trust myself, are harmless. I would congratulate Mr. Campbell and the public on the decision of the jury, as leading, I hope, to many similar decisions. Are we to suppose that the shock of the death of Mr. Campbell's father has at once righted his mind, or rather that at any period of his confinement he would not have been willing to submit his sanity to the verdict of a jury of his coun trymen ? I should have been too happy and proud to have submitted myself to such an ordeal, and should have had no doubt of my having been able to have con vinced any honest jury, fairly constituted, that I was not a fit subject of a lunatic asylum ; and I trust that the first alteration of the law of lunacy will be to give, in an inexpensive form and mode, this privilege to every person who may be deemed to be or suffering as a lunatic, and who may impugn the decision, the right of a trial by a jury of his countrymen: Not that juries always arrive at a correct decision, bur that i would tend to satisfy even the mind of a lunatic that he hal been fairly treated, and have a tendency to promote his recovery. I have no objection to give to medical men all the respect and deference that their supposed education and experience may entitle them to ; but I cannot allow that it consists with rationality or the institu tions of a good order of society, that any two of them, without incurring any responsibility, and at the in stigation of an interested party, should become the medical advisers, jury, and judge, which shall live the power at once to consign any one to all the horrors and torments to be experienced in these mis called asylums. And then again, without the party so condemned being allowed to inform a single friend or relative of his situation, but to be severely punished for making the attempt. To satisfy the minds of the foreman of the jury and one of the jurors at this inquiry, and all future jury men, that it is not wise to pin their faith on the sleeves of medical men, but to trust for their decisions on the rest of the evidence, and their own honest judgment of the case from the conduct and demeanour of the party who is before them, allow me to relate the following anecdote : At the first lunatic asylum in which I was confined the surgeon of the establishment, a well-educated and highly-talented man, of mature years, having been afflicted with a paralytic stroke, his mind became disordered, and many high fantastic tricks did he play, to the astonishment of the neighbours, and in the house, so that it became generally known among the inmates that the doctor had gone mad, and in which state he continued some weeks, during, which time two Committees of the Metropolitan Commis sioners in Lunacy officially visited the establishment ; each of these Committees, having two members learned in medical science , and lunacy attending them, who, on both occasions, actually left this mad doctor at the head and superintendence of about 300 mad patients, not having been able to discover his insanity, although I and another imputed madman had taken some pains to call their attention to the fact of his unfortunate situation. I presume they were too intent on making out our insanity to discover anything of the kind in the doctor. However strange this may appear to be, the statement is easily established, as some of the gen tlemen have since acknowledged to me the fact of the doctor's insanity at that time. But do not the public rest on the belief that Acts of Parliament have been passed, instituting a set of Commissioners, with a nobleman highly extolled for talent and humanity (Lord Ashley), as their chair man, for the very purpose of preventing such abuse and wrong as has taken place in Mr. Campbell's case, in mine, and in so many others ? Why these gentle men have not performed their obvious duties, I must leave them to explain, and thus, for the present, close my observations on this painful subject. Sept. 23. ONE OF THE VICTIMS. P.S.—I have enclosed my card for your satisfaction, and for yours alone, not to satisfy any impertinent or curious inquirer; for I have two lovely children, whose prospects I should be sorry to see clouded by the report of their father's misfortune. Tier Majesty the Queen Dowager has forwarded 101. to the institution existing at Woolwich on behalf of the wives and children of the men belonging to the Royal Artillery. It is supported by subscriptions from tho most respectable families connected with the town and garrison, and by the product, of occasional fancy fairs, held at Woolwich. Its object is to assist the wives and families of the gunners of the Royal Artillery to follow their husbands to foreign stations. Coicn ACCIDENT. — On Monday afternoon the Fireman coach was overturned between Maybole and Lochmoody Toll. We regret to state that the Rev. James Stevenson, of Newton-on-Ayr, was severely injured, but though taken up insensible, he was so far recovered as to allow of his removal to Dailly next morning. Consider able anxiety was felt at first as to the extent of the injury received, but this has been greatly relieved, and there is every reason to expect that he will speedily be re stored to his labours among his flock. The cause of the accident seems to have been, that in turning a sharp angle of the road, about two miles and a half from May bole, the coach suddenly came upon a cart laden with timber, and in pulling up to avoid a collision, ran to the side, losing the level of the road.— Western Watchman. It is very commonly rumoured in the City that it is the intention of Government to exclude from the Court and from the Ministerial parties all the Foreign Minis ters or Char* d'Affaires, whose Governments have not faithfully fulfilled their engagements with their creditors in this country - . Such a proceeding as this would create great satisfaction. The more reasonable among the cre ditors of foreign Governments are perfectly aware that our own Government cannot adopt forcible measures to urge the completion of a private contract, but such a plan as this, which plainly draws a distinction between honest and dishonest states, seems perfectly practicable, and no more than just. A similar spirit, if report may be trusted, has extended to some of the clubs, who have, it is said, made citizenship in a " repudiating" state a sufficient reason for refusing the admission of candidates, however unexceptionable the individual character of such parties may be. In some cases, a rule like this might fall hardly on honourable and sensitive persons, but it is no bad principle in some manner to identify an indivi dual with his Government, since if all the individuals of a dishonest country were made *to feel some practical inconvenience, a reformation would follow as a matter of course. If the report be true, there is no doubt that the clubs have adopted the suggestion in the Rev. Sydney Smith's letter.—Times. A LEFT-HANDED COMPLIMENT.--In the list of toasts to be proposed at a recent dinner, in a town in Nottinghamshire, was the " Health of a certain country gentleman, with thanks for his attendance." Some cir cumstance intervened to prevent the worthy squire dining with his tenants and neighbo urs , an d, o f course , the toast required a slight alteration. The person into whose hands the toast was giv en th oug ht i t wou ld n ot do to propose it without some thanks, and considering that so powerful a neighbour should be thanked for al most everything he did, proposed " The health of —, Esq., and thanks for his non-attendance!—Leicest Chronicle.

EXAM JUBILEE OP THE LONDON MISSIONARY SOCIETY. The fiftieth anniversary of the London Missionary Society was celebrated at Exeter-hall yesterday, when every part of the spacious building was crowded by a respectable auditory. Sir Culling Eardley Smith, B art., took the chair at eleven o'clock, and the platform was filled with ministers of various denominations. The Rev. Dr. VAUGHAN opened the meeting by prayer, after which The CHAIRMAN commented on the operations of the Society in various parts of the world, and dwelt at some length on the efforts which had been made by the Pope and his emissaries to counteract the exer tions, not only of the London Missionary Society, but of all similar institutions, the objects of which were to disseminate the Gospel in its truth and purity amongst the heathen, an exemplification of which had recently been afforded by the devastating influence of that insidious and anti-Christian system upon the peaceful missions of the Society in the South Seas, and which had brought to the verge of war two of the greatest and noblest nations of the world. Popery was still the same superstitious, perse cuting, Anti-Bible system which it ever had been. In proof of its wretched superstition, shameful impositions, and miserable cupidity, he need only state that in 1842 the Pope had received upwards of 10,0001. from the King of Naples to make a certain woman a saint. Some priests in Italy were exhibiting a letter which they said had been written by the Devil in Messina. The priests pretended to have a letter which they said was written by the Virgin Mary in Paradise, accept ing the patronage of that city. The Pope had re cently received an enormous sum of money to say a single mass for the soul of an English Catholic. A physician had been imprisoned in Rome for recom mending his patients not to fast; and certain students had been similarly punished for having Protestant books in their possession. The honourable baronet cited other instances of the banefal influence of Romish imposition, and concluded an able address amidst much cheering. The Rev. EDWARD BICKERSTETII i Rector of Wot ton, then moved the following resolution in an ap propriate address :—" That this meeting, in com mencing the fiftieth year in the history of the London Missionary Society, humbly presents its grateful praise to God for the decisive and abundant proofs of his favour with which he has vouchsafed, during that period, to crown its varied interests and operations : it glorifies the riches of his grace in those holy and devoted men whose memory it holds in affectionate veneration as the fathers of the institution : it ascribes to the animating power of his love the spirit zeal and benevolence which has been excited and sustained among the Society's ardent and long-tried friends : it recognises his wise and gracious provi dence in the wide fields for missionary effort, once inaccessible, but now open to the labours of the Christian church : it attributes to his power and grace the sanctified gifts and arduous achievements which have characterised the men sent forth by this Society as messengers of mercy to the heathen ; and, above all, this meeting, reviewing the vast amount and the inestimable value of the society's success in the actual conversion of the heathen to the faith of Christ, would devoutly adore and bless the God of Israel who only doeth wondrous things, and would cherish, from past success, an ass urance o f th e still more glorious extension of his kingdom, with which the future labours of his church will be rewarded." The Rev. Dr. BUNTING, President of the Wesleyan Conference, seconded the resolution. The Rev. Gen tleman having remarked that the formation of the Society was an act of noble, daring, and undaunted faith in the promises of God, proceeded to eulogise its operations, and added that it would be almost pre sumption for him to attempt to condole with such Society upon the recent events in the South Seas. They had nothing to fear from what had occurred in Otaheite : the truth of the Gospel must prevail and wercome all the anti-Christian assaults of Popery. Greater obstacles had been surmounted by the Lon ion Missionary Society in various parts of the world, Ind nothing had happened to them in the affair of Otaheite which was not common to missionary enter prise; moreover, they had once before been driven away from that island when they first endeavoured to plant the standard of the cross there, and they would yet see the religion of the Gospel triumph over all its foes.

CIiAMBERS'S JOURNAL.—No. 22 of tlie New Series contains an article entitled " Persecution of New Ideas," which the Editors deliberately print as an extract " From a Private Pamphlet,' ;word for word it is taken from Dr. Dickson's Fal lacies of the Faculty !—ln a subsequent Number (3G) appears another article headed " What to do in cases of accident—Bloodletting." Every argument adduced in that article against the operation in such cases, is borrowed without acknowledgment from the same work. The principal object of that work is the exposition of the periodicity of all vital phenomena, which Dr. Dickson claims as his discovery. It forms the basis of the chronothernial system of medicine, of which he is the founder. Messrs. Chambers, to whom the Fallacies of the Faculty was s ibmitted two years ago, with a view to the publica tion of a People's Edition, know this—yet, in an article published in their last Saturday's Journal (No. 38), headed "Periodicity of Vital Phenomena," not only do they never name Dr. Dickson, but abso lutely go out of their way to repeat an attempt of certain Medical Journals to give the merit of his discoiery to an obscure physician of the naeee of Laycock, who impudently plagiarised it ! How that plagiarism was exposed, the facts and dates by which the discovery was substantiated, Messrs. Chambers know as well as any man liv ing. The controversy is In the pages of the Medioal Times, the edi tors of which 'emphatically declare that I)r. Dickson long preceded Dr. Laycock ; and they may also see It in the copy of the Fallacies of the Faculty sent to them on the appearance of their extract "From a Private Pamphlet."

Address, Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street. THE STADE TOLLS. The Rev. Dr. LrErcnrtn, in moving the next reso lution, took a brief review of the operations of the Society. The dozen missionaries which it had at first sent out had been multiplied to 400, and with native teachers, to 700. It had eighty-five stations in the world, each station having several outposts ; it had caused to be translated and published sixteen versions of the Scriptures in the various languages of the earth, and since its establishment the Society had expended more than a million-and-a-half of money in furthering its mighty object, and they might fairly conclude that more than a million of individuals had been taught the Christian faith by the efforts of the Society. These circumstances were sufficient to cause thanksgiving and to make them rejoice; but their joy had been tempered by the recent events in Otaheite, which, however, were not to be attributed to any want of exertion, insufficient performance of duty, or improper conduct on the part of the Society or its agents, but solely to the aggression of a foreign power.—(Hear, hear.) When the time came for the calumniated persons to speak out and tell the whole of what they could reveal, he was certain that the public would be satisfied with their proceedings. The directors of the Society had been placed in a difficult position by this circumstance—their difficulty arising from the complication of the affair with politics and the civil interests of two great countries. He had seen the directors abused on the one hand for pusillanimity and truckling to the Government, and on the other for rebelling against the Government, and inciting the nations to war. But they had pursued the middle course—they had laid a fair account of the matter before the country, and called upon all communities of Christians to re monstrate with the Government—to appeal to it to take such prompt and vigorous measures as should put a stop to the outrages of France, and procure redress for the wrongs which had been inflicted— (Cheers)—and he believed the directors meant to continue their appeals to the public, in order that the Government might not be permitted to go to sleep upon the matter.—(Cheers.) In inspecting the false assertions which had been made, the directors had done what th ey oug ht to have done, and nothing more: that was his conviction, and it was well that the approval of the conduct of the Society should be expressed by so great and intelligent an assembly.— (Loud cheers.) Should truth be silent because folly frowned ? lie offered them his thanks and approba tion for the wisdom and firmness of the measures which they had pursued.—(Cheers.) But the affair at Otaheite, and the melancholy events in Mogadore, did not impress him with alarm. He did not despair, for he had too firm a faith in the prophecies of the final triumphs of Christianity over the whole earth. —(Cheers,) These events would but direct greater attention to their operations, and excite sympathy on their behalf; and although they now beheld the lour ing cloud, he could see a brighter scene beyond, when the triumphs of the Gospel should be complete; then the chances of war would cease, the contentions of nations w ou ld b e h us h e d , the disorders of society would be at an end, and the vast brotherhood of man kind would be of one heart and of one soul.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Gentleman concluded by moving the fol lowing resolution :—" That this meeting bows before the righteous though mysterious providence of God, which has permitted the power of persecution and oppression to fall upon the Christians of Madagascar and Otaheite ; and humbly acknowledges that the imperfections and evils of the best services offered to his sacred cause, might justly provoke his holy chas tisements towards its suffering Christian brethren in those islands, the meeting cherishes the most affec tionate smpathy and prayerful solicitude ; and in relation to Otaheite, it cannot withhold the expression of its severest reprobation at the perfidy and cruelty perpetrated by the agents of France on the defence less Queen and her oppressed people ; and the meet ing hereby expresses its strongest desire and assurance that the Directors of the London Missionary Society will not fail to employ, as opportunity may be afforded, all means consonant with the spirit of Christianity, for effecting the complete deliverance of Otaheite from the deep injury and galling oppression under which it is now suffering.' The Rev. J. HAMILTON, of the Scotch National Church in Regent-square, seconded the resolution in a forcible address, in which he vindicated the conduct of the missionaries in Otaheite, and in the course of his speech read the following address by them to Captain Bruat "Mission-house, Papeete, March 19, 1844. " Sir,—We, the undersigned body of Protestant missionaries, in committee assembled, at Papeete, Otaheite, feeling a deep conviction that it is our duty as ministers of:the Gospel of peace, to attempt collec tively that which has partially failed by individual ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. effort, to induce the natives now collected together on the east side of the island, to return peaceably to their dwellings. Knowing, however, the vast influence of the chiefs now outlawed have over the people, we be lieve that even this attempt would prove nugatory unless we have authority from his Excellency the Governor to present to them terms of amity on their peaceable dispersion. " The missionaries will feel obliged by an early re ply from his Excellency. (Signed by all the brethren present.) " To his Excellency the Governor of the French possessions in Oceania." This offer having been virtually refused, the missiona ries, in a memorial read before the Governor and his _Council on the following day, thus stated the prin ciples and motives by which they were actuated in addressing him : " To prevent all misconception relative to our inter course with the people, we wish your Excellency dis tinctly to understand that we, whose avocations are strictly religious, disclaim all interference with the politics of any country where we may be located, and that all that we require is the free exercise of our spiritual functions, the right to which your Excel lency has already recognised. " In accordance with these views, above expressed, your Excellency will perceive that we desire to carry with us nothing to the people, but such authority as strictly belongs to our office as their teachers ; and that the request we had the honour to present to your ExcellencyArelated simply to the terms which your Excellency might think right to offer them on their peaceful dispersion. " In conclusion, sir, finding that some evil conse quences may arise from the state of the people on the eastern coast of the island, as ministers of the Gospel we feel deeply solicitons to use all means within our power to prevent the loss of human life." The Rev. J. A. JAMES, of Birmingham, moved the third resolution, as follows :—" That this meeting, consisting of ministers, members of churches, and other friends of the London Missionary Society, willingly embraces the occasion of its jubilee to renew the pledge of ardent attachment and practical de votedness to the sacred object of all its labours—the diffusion of the Gospel throughout the world, and cordially approving of the special objects proposed to be accomplished by the jubilee fund, the meeting will cheerfully co-operate with the directors in all practi cable measures for augmenting its amount.' Ile enforced, in eloquent terms, the essential necessity of adding largely to the funds of the Society. An im mense field—a world in itself—China, was now opened to their Christian exertions ; and if Protestants did not do their duty, that enormous empire would be taken possession of by a power which regarded no object as too vast for its ambition, too minute for its cupidity—Rome. The Rev. J. ANGUS seconded the resolution, which was then put and agreed to. The Rev. W. LINDSAY ALEXANDER, of Edinburgh, moved the fourth resolution, as follows :—" That this meeting most cordially rejoices in the manifold and indubitable marks of the Divine benediction which has been granted to the labours of all evangelical missionary institutions of the various Protestant com munions of Britain, Europe, and America, and most earnestly prays th a t, through the enlarged communi cations of the Holy Spirit, their labours may be greatly extended, and their success increased a hundred fold." The Rev. Dr. DIXON seconded the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously. The Rev. Dr. HAuats then moved the following resolution :—" That this meeting present Sir Cullen Eardley Smith, Bart., the assurance of its Christian regard, with its best thanks for his kindness in pre siding on the present occasion. The meeting gladly embraces the opportunity to express its most earnest desire that he may be spared for many years to sus tain with efficiency the duties of the important office he has recently undertaken as the treasurer of the Society, and that, like his departed predecessors, he may go down to the grave, as the servant of God, full of Tears, full of faith, and full of honour." The Rev. ARTHUR TIDMAN (ene of the Secretaries of the Society), in seconding the resolution, said that the " sages of Exeter-hall" were not held in very high repute by certain persons out of doors ; but, nevertheless, they had already effected much, and they intended by the same moral power to accom plish all they wished with reference to Otaheite. There was a time when India was shut against the operations of Christian missions. The "sages of Exeter-hall," however, said that access should be obtained to the heathen of that benighted land, and they succeeded in their object.—(Cheers.) There was a period when negro slavery existed in our colo nies ; but the " sages of Exeter-hall" said they should be free, and their fetters had been broken.— (Loud cheers.) These same sages would now say that Otaheite should, by the same moral power, be free—(Cheers)—and not by the power of the cannon, or of the Government, which the Society had never sought ; and they would have deemed war between Britain and France, as the result of the Otaheite mission, not only to have been a curse to the civilised world, but the greatest evil their cause could have suffered.—(Hear, hear.) All that they had ever sought from the Government itself was consistent with reason, justice, and religion.—(Hear, hear.) In the object which they sought they should now in voke (and he knew it would not be in vain) the whole Protestant community of the church of Christ, throughout the world, to join with them in their fixed determination that Otaheite should be free. The CIIAIRIVAN having returned thanks, the meet ing separated. FATAL OCCURRENCE. An extraordinary and fatal circumstance occurred on the shore, near Hest Bank, on Tuesday last. On the morning of that day Mr. Adam Clark, of hest Bank, and a man of the name of John Teesdale, who is from the neighbourhood of Appleby, and has for some time been living off and on in the neighbour hood, were returning along the shore from eel-spearing, and had arrived so far home as within about 200 yards of the ascending footpath that leads from the beach to the high land, and thence over the canal bridge to the hamlet of llest Bank. At this spot grows in considerable abundance the deadly night shade, atropa belladonna, a perennial plant with her baceous stem. The fruit has a berry as large as a small grape, and a dark purple colour. Two elderly women, one of the name o f S an dha m , and th e o th er Betsy Wainhouse, and both residing in Lancaster, were standing amongst the plants and eating the ber ries when Mr. Clark and Teesdale came up. Mr. Clark inquired what the berries were, and on being told by the females that they were blaberries or bar berries, he began to gather and eat also, as did Tees dale. The parties separated, Mr. Clark and Teesdale coming up to the Hest Bank Hotel (which belongs to Mr. Croskell, Mr. Clark's father-in-law), and bring ing with them several of the berries, which were im mediately pronounced by Mr. Croskell and a neigh bour Orr. Knipe) to be poison. Finding this, Mr. Clark swallowed a dose of such medicine as was at hand, and that, luckily for him, served all the purpose of an emetic. Nevertheless he was seized with an alarming illness—parched tongue, dizziness, difficulty of swallowing, swollen face and eyes, and delirium. Mr. Ellery, surgeon, of Bolton, was sent for, and by the unremitting attention of that gentleman, Mr. Clark was eventually brought round in the course of the following morning, and he is now quite restored, but still exhibiting seine effects of the deadly charac ter of the poison. Meanwhile the two women, who had come out from Lancaster merely to enjoy a little excursion on the seashore, made the best of their way home, but they had not proceeded far before the symptoms described above began to manifest them selves. Parched and thirsty, the great desire was for drink, but one of the two Raving heard that drinking ought to be avoided in such cases (for they had sus picion they were poisoned) had the fortitude to abstain. They succeeded in reaching their dwelling in Bridge lane, in this town, and one of th em i nstant l y repa i re d to Messrs. Reston and Leack, surgeons, and those gentlemen were in immediate attendance. The con dition in which both the patients were was most alarm ing, and but for the constant application of remedial measures, and the great exertions of the medical gentle men, no doubt both would have died. They were in a state of mania throughout the night, but eventually the means adopted proved successful, and after much suffering the poor women both recovered. It should be mentioned that the one who abstained from drink, though she had eaten most, suffered the least. One ate about a pint of the berries, and the other only about a dozen. Mr. Clark thinks he could not have swallowed half-a-dozen at most. The tragic part of the story remains to be told. The poor fellow, Tees dale, had been missed very soon after his arrival at the Hest Bank Hotel, which would be about noon on Tuesday. He was nowhere seen, and the wonder was where he could be. The day and the night passed away, and he did not make his appearance. It happened that Mr. Creskell had a load of straw coming home, and it arrived about eleven o'clock on Wednesday.

Present-:—the Plenipotentiaries of Great Britain and Hanover.) _ _ The Plenipotentiaries of her Majesty the Queen of he United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of his Majesty the . King of Hanover, having met to gether for the purpose of exchanging the ratifications of the treaty of commerce and navigation, concluded and signed by them at London on the 22d of July last, the Hanoverian Plenipotentiary, stated, that the convention relative to the regulation of the Pruns hausen or Stade Toll, signed by the Commissioners of the Elbe bordering :States at Dresden on the 13th of April last, which convention is annexed to the treaty of July, had not as yet been rati fied by all the contracting parties ; and that conse quently it was possible that its stipulations might not come into operation by the Ist of October next, the date at which, by the sixth article of the treaty, his Hanoverian Majesty engaged that the rates of tolls and charges specified in the said convention of the 13th of April, and in the documents annexed thereto, should become applicable to British vessels and their cargoes ; and that in such case, his Hanoverian Ma -1 jesty would be unable .to fulfil such engagement at the time stipulated. That the Hanoverian Government still, however, entertaining the well-founded hope that the convention of the 13th of April last would soon receive the ratification of all the contracting parties, proposed not to defer the exchange of the ra tifications of the treaty of the 22d of July, but to under an agreement to until the convention of the 13th of April last shall the proceed following t ffe exchange,ct„ hat for the present, and have been ratified by all the contracting parties, the tariff of the Brunshausen or Stade Toll, at present existing, shall continue in force • except with regard to all those articles of British produce and manufac ture which are specified in the 6th article of the treaty of the 22d of July, on which articles, when conveyed up the Elbe in British vessels, no higher duty or toll shall from and after the Ist of October next be levied than the amount prescribed for such articles by article 6, above-mentioned ; and also save and except that from and after the said Ist of October next no fees or payments in kind of any description whatsoever shall be levied on British vessels or their cargoes, of whatever na ture assented those Plenipoten tiaries having taken these statements into consideration, ed to the proposition inaybe ; The British the Hanoverian Plenipoten tiary,at cargoes provided-1. That in the event of the benefit of any or all of the stipulation s of the convention of the 13th April being granted to any one of the Elbe border ing States, or to any country whatsoever, Great Bri tain shall at the same time be admitted to the enjoy. ment thereof. 2. That in case the aforesaid conven tion of the 13th of April shall not have become applicable to British vessels and their cargoes by the Ist of April, 1845, the Hanoverian Government will then be ready to reconsider the arrangements of article 6 of the treaty of tile 22d of July, with a view of giving to British commerce and navigation an ade quate compensation. 3. That if the Government or Legislature of Great Britain shall hereafter deem it expedient to bring into operation on the Ist of Jan., 1848, the date at which many of the treaties of commerce between Great Britain and foreign Powers are terminable, any new measures of general application, having the advancement of commerce for their object, and the adoption of which measures shall render it necessary to contract fresh engage ments with foreign Powers, the Government of ..... Hanover will be ready to reconsider any stipulations of the treaty of the 22d of July which may be affected by such measures, with a view to render them con formable to the same, and to the mutual interests of the two countries. The Hanoverian Plenipotentiary, on his part, assented to these propositions, provided, with reference to the one last mentioned, the stipula tions of article 7 of the treaty of the 22d of July, shall in all cases remain in force for the full period prescribed for the duration of the treaty by article 8 (till the Ist of January, 1854, and further until the end of twelve months after either of the high con tracting parties shall have given notice to the other of its intention to terminate the same, each of the parties reserving to itself the right of giving such notice to the other), which was agreed to by the British Plenipotentiaries. It was therefore deter mined that the ratifications of the treaty of the 22d of July should be exchanged, subject expressly to the different propositions recorded in the present protocol; and the Plenipotentiaries accordingly pro ceeded to effect the said exchange in the usual form. ABERDEEN. W. E. GLADSTONE. E. HUPEDEN. —.. VALLEE D'AURE...--TWO HAUTES PYRENEES. hunters, whilst ascending the peak of Tremisseques, per ceived, sailing beneath them, a vulture of an enormous size. One of them, seizing the moment of his near approach, discharged his gun, loaded with five goat shot, which took effect on the wing of the bird, and brought him down. Descending the precipice, the adroit marks man, proud of his exploit, would fain attempt to take the animal alive, which, resting against a rock, struck the hunter on his approach, tearing him frightfully with his talons, and sunk its beak into his skull. Unable either to fight or fly, the rash young man must have expiated the attempt by the loss of life, had not his companion, with great presence of mind, placed his fusil close to the vulture's head, and shattered it to pieces. Upon being measured, the bird was found to be five feet long from beak to tail ' • his plumes were of great strength an d beauty, his legs enormously thick, and hard as iron, upon one of which, singular to state, was a silver brace let, engraved deeply with the Greek characters, Alpha, Gamma, Delta ; from a hole, also, pierced th roug h hi s beak, it wo u ld s eem th a t h e b ad once been a captive, and chained, .~ -1
