THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE to its Readers and the Public, on the opening of Parliament, Febra try I, 1844. On the eve of a Session of Parliament, which, if it do not terminate the struggle, must, at least, be looked on as the herald of the advent of Free Trade, in which the pacification of Ireland mast be placed in contrast with the possible alterna tive of civil war, and the threatened dismemberment of the empire—in which the grand battle of Civil and Religious Liberty will have once more to be fought, on the question of Educating the People—and in which the Government must be called on, amidst its exultation, on the state of the Revenue, to say not only from what oppressive sources, and by what inju rious expedients the income has been derived, but in what manner it has been expended,—the WEEKLY CHRONICLE once more submits its claims upon the continued support of its old Subscribers, and upon the more extended encouragement of a larger share of public patronage, from the accession .of new friends. The WEEKLY CHRONICLE is now printed on superior paper of the largest size, containing more reading matter than any other London Weekly Paper. Great care is bestowed on the condensation and arrangement of its General News and Parliamentary Intelligence, of which it gives a much fuller and far more satisfactory summary than any of its Contemporaries. And this it is enabled to do from the principle on which its contents are selected and adjusted; for while the WEEKLY CHRONICLE will be found to give due attention to Litera ture, Science, the Fine Arts, the Drama, and even to Sporting Intelligence, so far as this latter can be said to interest the General Reader, neither Sporting, nor any other feature of minor interest, are allowed to supersede the proper objects of a Newspaper—those subjects of breathing, living import to the Progress of Society, and to the Well-being of the People throughout the whole length and breadth of Home and Co lonial England. The WEEKLY CHRONICLE will, therefore, continue to scrutinise the conduct of Men in Office—to record Political Facts as they arise, whether within or without the Walls of Parliament—to warn its Readers of the Coming Event before its Shadow is cast broadly across the public foot-path ,• and in all ether respects to fulfil its purposes as a Newspaper, identified at once with a Party, and with the People—with the Party of Practical Reformers, and with a People seeking the common good of all. The WEEKLY CHRONICLE has been the constant Organ and Advocate of these principles for many years ; and has been thought to have done good service, in critical times, upon questions materially affecting the public welfare. It is the Advocate of Extended Suffrage—of the Ballot—of a Shortened Duration of Parliament—of Free Trade—of Systematic Colo nization—of the Education of the People on the principles of Civil and Religious Liberty—of a Re-Adjustment of the Reve nues of the Irish Church, and of other measures of Justice calculated to consolidate the Unien—of Peace at Home and Abroad—of a Repeal of the odious Income-tax, with a Reduc tion of the Expenditure ; and, not to extend the catalogue, it may be said that it treats all other Public Questions in a kin dred spirit and tone, whilst its means of information may be judged from the fact that it was, among other instances of early intelligence, the first to announce to the world the Visit of the Queen to France, and the determination of the Govern ment to arrest O'Connell and his friends—both which facts were announced in the WEEKLY CHRONICLE for several days before they were communicated to the Government Press. Arrangements have been made for bringing down the News contained in the WEEKLY CHRONICLE to a much later date than usual, in some instances anticipating the average of last year by a week ; and to effect this, every department of the paper has been 'erupt:doubly revised, and efficiently re-con structed. For the convenience of our friends, the three fol lowing editions are published; and, by . attending to these direc tions, the substitution of any other edition for the one preferred, and for which the order should be distinctly given, may be prevented :- 1. An Edition for exclusive circulation in the provinces on the Saturday marled " Country Edition." 2. An Edition for circulation in London on the Saturday, and in the country on the Sunday : marked 4 .

The price is 6d., for which the WEEKLY CHRONICLE may be obtained of all respectable newsvenders ; and by post, paid in advance, at a subscription of 265. per annum, 13s. the half-year, and 6s. 6d. the quarter.

We the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Ro. bine, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scor butic Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds .some of them so large that a person might have laid hie Est in them), that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement, and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of medicines before taking '' Halse's See, butte Drops,'' and had prescriptions from the most celebrated phy. titian pin this country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" have completely cured him, and he is now ena. Wed to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend" Ilalse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public.

A meeting of the professional gentlemen took place at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand, on Monday, to consider and determine what steps ought to be taken to resist the aggressive clauses of the recent charter of the " Royal College of Surgeons of England." Mr. Macilwain, precisely at seven O'clock, was unani mously called to the chair. He proceeded to point out the unjust distinctions which had been introduced into the new charter for the College of Surgeons. He particularly cited clause 12, which provided that the Council should be an elective body, and be extended to twenty.one, and that it was also to be a changing body ; but that three new members should be brought in under the new charter, and that the present members should continue of the Council for life. He was bound to state, that after a most 'careful perusal of the charter, he most decidedly disapproved of it; he had never read any document more infelicitously worded, for the pur pose for which it was intended. As regarded many of the details of the Bill, however, he would not hold himself re sponsible for any sentiments that might be uttered that even ing by any gentleman who might address the meeting; but he would beg of them, in their conduct, to be guided by firmness and moderation. Violence of demeanour would not be listened to by the Government, and it would only strengthen that power which the meeting wished to oppose. Dr. Lynch moved the first resolution, which was in sub stance-2" That the meeting viewed with much regret and indignation the distinctions introduced by the recent charter, without having any reference to any fixed standard or quali fication." Ile stated that the new charter had removed all responsibility from the Council of the College of Surgeons, and - made them an irresponsible and self-elected body. He `stated to the meeting that when first the question had been agitated by the general body of the profession, that they had yielded to the request of Lord John Russell to defer their purpose, till the Government had received the report of Mr. Varburton's Committee. He then complained that Sir J. Graham should have subsequently thrown aside all that had been proved before this Committee, and given the present charter. He instanced the fact of: Mr. Brookes and Mr. Carpue have been refused a fellowship. He paid a high eulogy to the names of these gentlemen, which was responded to with immense applause. He proceeded to say that the Council had insulted their profession, and had retarded science by their invidious and interested distinctions, which they distributed among their own private friends. This ought not be, without the means of protest on the part of the general body. He denounced as unreasonable and contemp tible the objections made to the admission of any gentleman who was a general practitioner, and particularly those who practised midwifery, which he considered one of the most important branches of the profession. The general practi tioners took their stand upon the -broad basis of general utility; and if such was the case, it was hard to be subjected to the system of proscription. He pointed to the extreme hardship which the medical officers of the army and navy were exposed to, who were, after long service, refused fellow ships, while the boys of yesterday were freely admitted. He hoped the meeting would that night take measures to relieve the profession from those degradations to which it was at present subject, and to protect them from future insults. Dr. Wilson seconded the resolution. He showed that those who aspired to domineer over them were supported in their pomp, their carriages, and splendid liveries, by the general practitioners. He would recommend the profession to be firm and united, and to set a mark upon those gentle men, and then they would find that guineas would not flow so fast into their pockets. Mr. Carpue, who had entered the room amidst vast cheering, rose and to'support the resolution, announced that, although he had been once refused, he had now been elected one of the three introduced by the new charter. He stated that he had delivered 100 courses of lectures, and had been for fifty years the inhabitant of a dissecting-room. He ex pressed his entire concurrence with the objects of the meet ing. He had no doubt, if the evils of the system were pro perly represented, that they would soon be removed. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. Cooper moved th e secon d reso lution :—" That the meeting considered that the many and serious mischiefs arising to the profession and society, from irresponsible powers exercised by the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons, it is requisite that Parliament should provide an uniform system of medical education, conducted by men re presenting the feeling s an d opinions of the whole body of medical practitioners." H e was sure her Majesty had never been aware that the medical gentleman to whom she en trusted herself as accoucheur, was declared by this Council to be an unfit person t o b ecome - t h e i r f e llow. Had she been aware of this he was sure Sir James Graham would never have got her Majesty to affix her sign manual to the charter. Mr. Harvey seconded the resolution. Mr. Webb supported the resolution. He denied that the errors in the charter could be attributed to ignorance on the part of Sir James Graham. He said it was only . a part of a system that was carry i ng injustice. on w ith perfect eonviction of its The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. Dermott moved the third resolution, which was in substance—. That the meeting deeply regretted the length of time which had been lost to the cause of medical reform since the Parliamentary Committee for inquiry in 1834, and pledged itself to the strenuous adoption of measures to ensure for the profession freedom for aggression upon its rights and interests." He took a comprehensive retrospec tive view of the steps which bad been taken to effect a medical reform, and he comp lained of the indiffere n c e wit h which the que s ti on h ad bee n treated by the House of Com mons. He said the Charter was alike injurious to the pro fession and to the public. It suppressed talent and real - pro dust It was unchristian, because it did not inculcate "to de to others as you would be done by." It was founded on the secret principle to suppress private schools, and make our hospitals a grade above them. There were men of the most brilliant capacities left out, to make room for absolute ignorance. But the absence of those names, he trusted, would strengthen the cause of medical reform; for these men's talents could not be hidden under a bushel. But there were other charters prepared for the Universities of Scotland and Ireland that would fetter any Bill that could h su o b a s d e- - quently be passed. If the par ty h a d been sincere w the. Bills Sir James Graham, they would have presen ted bute Bills first, and had the charters framed accordingly ; they had put the cart before the horse, and now there ought e it was l scarcely time to apply t o Parliament. The pro fes sion to have pressed their ca use last session. He c on cluded with enjoining them to sink all jealousies, and to act in unanimity to carry out the object of the meeting: Mr. Hovland seconded the reso without dissent. lution w hich was carried Mr. Ansell moved the fourth resolution, which was in substance—" That no measure of medica l reform be acceptable to the profession unless it contain u niformity of medical de- education with equality of privileges; and that apute tion be appointed to wait upon respective Members of Par liament to ask their support upon those principles." The charter, he said, reduced all of them to the degree of merely nominal members of the College. In the course of a few years all the profitable situations would be taken from them and tilled by others. lie considered that the measure was intended to remove distinctions, but, on the contrary, it had created wider distinctions, and to make the subordinate prac titioners superior to the others, which he deemed to be very unjust. He warned the meeting of' another charter which was to be feared, which was in preparation for the College of Physicians. Mr. Leeson seconded the resolution, which was carried. Mr. Borthwick moved the fifth resolution, which was— " That a subscription be entered into to defray the neces sary expenses, and that the publishers of the various medical journals be requested to receive such subscriptions." He showed that the object of the College of Surgeons was not to exc lude ignorant and incapable persons f rom prac ti s i ng, b ut the object was to prevent all Scotch or Irish medical men holding public situations. It had however since been disco vered by the law officers of the Crown that this disqualifica tion was not borne out by the construction of the law. Mr. Ruocs seconded the resolution, which was read, and while it was being seconded, we could not help remarking that nearly two-thirds of the meeting glided out of the room. A Gentleman thought, before they were called upon to sub scribe, there should be some fixed principle of reform laid down. The Chairman, in was te fellow. The resolution was then put from the chair, and carried. It was movedb by Mr. MaCkenzie,*and secondedby M r . P a lk --Gth. That a Committee, with power to add to their num ber, be formed for the purpose of carryi ng out those objects, and that the Chairman, Mr. Macilwain, Mr. Simpson, Se cretary ; Dr. Ly n ch, Mr. Dermott, Mr. Walker, Dr. Wilson, Mr. Rarvey, Mr. Weather, and Mr. Rugg, do form the Committee." carried The resolution Yo , and several names added to s the list. A nuinbar of subscriptions were announced, among which was one of 5/. from Mr. Carp. The usual routine votes were agreed to, and the meeting, at a little past ten o'clock, broke up. IDIPORTATION Or FOREIGN CATTLE.—The specu lators in Spanish oxen have again commenced importing from Vigo. During the last three weeks upwards of eighty have been brought over by the Peninsular steam-packets to Southampton, and are of a very fine quality, as the Spanish farmers in Biscay and the northern provinces are now tlt 7 voting their attention to the improvement of the breed for the English markets. There were a few yesterday morning at Smithfield market, and they met with a ready sale. It is expected that during the ensuing year some very large im portations will be made from Rotterdam and Hamburgh by the Hull-steam-packets, as the quality of the cattle has greatly improved since the exporters find that there is a chance of the E i jgb.sh dealers entering into bargains.

Oxenham, in Oxford -street, amongst other property disposed of, were six lots, three of which consisted of female wear ing apparel, dresses, lace of a costly description, ri bands, &c., the trunks in which they had been packed, and several sets of artificial teeth mounted with gold. The other three lots were—a lady's gold watch, with jewelled movements, a massive neck-chain, with run ners, three seals, and a key, all -s gold, a pair of spec tacles, and ans eye-glass, several Linger-rings set with pearls, diamonds, &c.; a pair of pearl earrings, brooches, and other articles of jewellery, all mounted in gold. These lots created some interest, on account of it being ' stated that they were the property of a female pauper who had recently died in St. James's workhouse. It should be mentioned, that instead of a maker's name on thewatch there was engraved the name of Harriet Blake, and on one of the seals was cut the word " Harriet;" and another bore the motto, " True to her Trust." Some remarks were made upon the extraordinary cir cumstance of a person possessed of so much property as this being the inmate of a workhouse, enduring all the privations and misery of such an establishment, but the following explanation was given. About three years ago, an elderly lady put up at an hotel at the west-end of the town, and upon her exhibiting unequivocal symp toms of insanity, applicatton was made to the parish officers, and she was removed to the workhouse. Noin formation could be obtained from her, except that her maiden name was Harriet Blake, and that she had been married to a Mr. C—, who was at one time Mayor of Bristol, and who died shortly after the marriage, leav ing her, as was supposed, an annuity, which, however, had never been traced. The unfortunate lady was af terwards sent to Bethlehem Hospital, where sshe passed a year. From thence she was removed to Hanwell, where she died. She was apparently about 70 years of age at the time of her death. The proceeds of the pro perty are to be applied in defraying some portion of the expenses to which the parish had been subjected, by taking charge of the unfortunate deceased. In this sad reverse of fortune, it was said that the sister of the de ceased had been a sharer, she bein ; r, at present an inmate of St. Martin's workhouse, and as ignorant of the where abouts of the deceased's annuity as everybody else ap pears to have been. • . FATAL ACCIDENT Early this (Saturday) morning the lifeless body of $ poor old man, named George Belford, a well-known coal-higgler, was found lying in the. surnppike•road be tween Leicester and Uppingham, near Skeffington, &mint ten miles from the former town. It appears that the unfortunate man frequently started from Leicester at midnight for Uppingham, with a load of coals, and there is no doubt but that he has lost his life by indulging in a dangerous habit—a ludicrous instance of which he re+ lated but a short time ago top the person who now re• ports to us his untimely death. it seems that he left Leicester one night about twelve o'clock for Uprzghlian, and as soon as be passed the toll-gate on the Humber stone-road, got on.the top of the coals, where, being a little the worse for drink, he stretched himself at full length, and speedily fell asleep. How long he remained oblivious of the world and its cares he knew not, but when he awoke, some two or three hours afterwards he found himself ho knew not where, among some houses, and his horse standing as still as a post. Not recog nising the place when he awoke, and the night being ex ceedingly dark, he knew not which way to steer, so at last resolved to knock up one of the villagers, and ask as to his whereabouts. Ho accordingly did so, and was rewarded for his trouble by ascertaining that his horse had taken the wrong road, and strayed into Humber stone. As we before observed, this story doubtless eon. tains the key to the poor old man's melancholy end. The deceased was a widower, having lost his wife but a few weeks ago, and resided in Lower Sandacre-street, in this town. By his death, we regret to state, several children are left orphans.—Leicestershire Mercury. FUNERAL OF TEE LATE ECCENTRIC DR. SnINET.--• STRANGE EXIIIBITION.—Monday being the day appointed for the funeral of the late Dr. George Swinev, some parti tinlars relative to whose eccentricities and death appeared in this journal on Wednesday last, the neighbourhood of .Cam den-town was, during the whole of the after portion of the day, in the greatest excitement, every person being anxious to view such a strange sight as a funeral, the whole of the paraphernalia of which was to be yellow. From the deceased's late residence, No. 9, Grove-street, to the burial-ground of St. Martin's, Pratt-street, a distance of upwards of a quar ter of a mile, the number of persons congregated to witness the funeral procession was so great, that a large body of police, of the S Division, under Mr. Superintendent Carter and Inspector Aggs, were obliged to be present, to keep any thing like order. At the ground only a limited number of persons were admitted, as it required many policemen to be stationed here to prevent the people from entering en mane, so great was the preseure. About a quarter before two, the funeral cortege made its appearance, and, agreeably to the will of the deceased ; the coffin was covered with yellow cloth, studded with white nails. 0n getting into the street, 8 yellow velvet pall, edged with white silk, was thrown over it. Immediately after the coffin came three young girls, the eldest about fourteen years, and the other two about twelve years of age. They were habited in white (according to the will), with violet-coloured cloaks. Their head dress consisted of straw bonnets trimmed with White satin. The dresses had a most singular appearance, the wearers appearing more like a party proceeding to a wed ding than mourners of a funeral. After these came the mutes, and then the real mourners, habited not in yellow Cloaks, as previously announced, but in the usual mourning habit. In this order the cavalcade proceeded to the burial ground, the crowd being e 6 dense that it was vrith r n: greatest difficulty it could )proceed, pollee-016cm' going first to clear the war. On reaching the ground theretion o was m uck r hissing and hoOting, but whether at strange the_ not, or what was the cause, could not be ascertained. exhibi Th.
