MOSES, you'll grant your attention To one or two things which I'm anxious to mention. You've lately had days so remarkably pleasant, That winter seem'd ended, at least for the present. You've fancied, no doubt, that my powers were lost— But no—you have still to be plagued by " Jack Frost." I still mean to freeze up the lakes and the rivers, And scatter my snow-flakes while ev'ry one shivers. I still mean to let my bright icicles freeze, While they drop from the house-tops, or hang on the treat Yes, in spite of the fruitless attempts of Miss Spring, "Jack Frost" is resolved that he still will he king. And, therefore, I trust, Messrs. MOSES and SON, That you'll lend me your aid, as you've hitherto done. You must still keep your warm winter , garments on hand, That people my cold blighting winds may withstand. Let the stock of your garments at once be increased, I shall want twenty thousand warm wrappers, at least. I'm certain the public will shortly require An astonishing Increase of winter attire. Yes, thousands before the mild spring is begun, Will purchase warm clothing of MOSES and SON. And now, Messrs. MOSES, I beg to conclude, In case you should happen to think I intrude ; And at once (with the hope that my hints won't be lost), I remain your obedient servant, "JACK FROST." IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

The following case has excited so much interest, that the GUardians of the parish of Brent, Devon, have considered it their duty to sign their names to the accompanying important declaration : We, the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Ronne, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" he was literally covered with large running wound:a (some of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in them) ; that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improv,ement, 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 befi re taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," have so completely cured him, and he is now e nabled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures abo made in this part, we strongly recommend "Raise's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public. Signed by John Elliott, sen., Lord •of the Manor, John Warning, William Pearce, Henry Goodman, Arthur Langworthy. June 21, 1843. The above-mentioned Thomas Rolins was quite incapable of doing , any kind of work whatever before he commenced taking those Drops. Some of his wounds were so large that it was most awful to look stt them, and the itching and pain of the wounds generally were MetEtt dreadful; indeed, the poor fellow could be heard screeching )PP passers by, both day and night, for sleep was entirely out of the ques tion. He was reduced to mere skin and bone, and daily continued its get weaker, so that there was every probability of his speedy death. Read the following extract from the " Nottingham Revieriv" : " IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD THE CAUSE OF SCAIRVI BAD LEGS, &c. " It is really astonishing that so many persons should be contem t to be afflicted with scurvy wounds in the legs, &c., when It is a well ascertained fact that Babe's Scorbutic Drops' make the disease vanish like snow before the sun. No one is better enabled to judge of the value of a medicine as to its effects on the bulk of the people than a vendor of the article ; and as vendors of this medicine we cam conscientiously recommend it to our friends, for there is scarcely a day passes but we bear some extraordinary accounts of it; indet 8, we have known parties who have tried other advertised medicir es without the least success, and yet on resorting to this preparatit n, the now justly-celebrated Halse's Scorbutic Drops,' the disease las yielded as if by magic. We again say, 'Try Halse's Scorbutic Drops.' " Wholesale Agents for Landon: Barclay and Son, Farringdon-stret t; Hallett, P. 3.

Only l e; man who brings lightning front the skies must remember that life and caution un wtfingersisollippl ersons,' onr from seneone, s: necessary houses, for re ) is y ty,h i wire which etdo. eihiteo single point in Mr. Duncombe's speech. There is no occasion for more. His own words will always best express his own meaning : " I come now to the last,charge. I stated that my correspondence had been violated and my letters opened. Now, upon this the Com mittee are perfectly silent. I, in my place, stated this in the first in stance. I had only been informed that my letters going to the Albany had been detained for the ptirpose of opening. One gentleman said, 01l elitinet stippose this?' I said, 'lt is very odd.' He re plied, • They could not be so mean and shabby.' But though tit:. Committee is silent upon it, I now will prove that my letters were ordered to be detained and inspected, and opened on the authority of the Right Hon. Baronet. Now, I must say that I feel degraded in admitting this : I think it is a degradation for any Member of the Howse of Commons to know and feel that he is a worthy object of Suspicion to Warrant the Secretary of State for the Home Department to insult him and to open his letters. I cannot conceive a greater personal insult ; or a greater insult to the constituency a man repre sents —a constituency large, enlightened; and numerous; the repre sentative, not the nominee of a rotten borough. It becomes, therefore, not only an insult to me, but a gross insult to the constituency I have the honour to represent. I will go further : if my some spondence is not to be free, I am not a fit representative. And in the name of that constituency I call on the Right lion. Baronet again to justify, if he can, the opening of my letters. I know not what story he may have trumped up to this Committee of the Commons, or that Committee of the Lords, but I say he owes it to me, to this House, and he owes it to m 3 constituents to tell you, and to tell them, the justification upon which he ordered my letters to be opened. I asked him before, and he talked about my vapour ing.' I asked him again and said, 'IS it true ? I hardly belieye it.' He said, I must know I was asking a question which it was not consistent with his duty to answer.' Then, how stands that question between me and the Right Hon. Baronet ? If ,a Member in his place asks the Right Hob: 'Baronet whether, in the exercise of his functions, he has opened that Member's letters, and he finds that that Secretary of State, while he has had the meanness—aye, the baseness, to conceal his act, has not had the courage topyow it." Now, it does not require a moment's consideration to see that such a charge, not against any one public officer, but against some part or other of the Executive, cannot be suffered to remain unexplained ; a man might as well think to hobble on with a broken limb. The wound must either be healed or fester. Mr. Duncombe may have behaved very cavalierly, or the Committee of last session very out rageously or very stupidly. Those are minor questions. The fact at present is, that a. Member of Parliament charges the Executive with what a civilised country considers almost the greatest of violences and dishonesties. We cannot see why Mr. Duncombe should not have what he demands—a Committee, through which, if not in which, he may ask the questions he wishes. He declares himself able and anxious to produce certain important evidence. Opportunity is the ruin of false pretenders. If it is wished to put this gentleman hors decombat for the session, at least clear a space, and let him have room to realise his boast. But it is ridiculous to say the Commiftee of last year was cal culated either ,to verify or to convict his statements. Sir James boasts that it contained a majority of his political opponents. Who are Sir James's political opponents ? Who are his friends? The so cial relations by which he is best known to the political world cannot be expressed in the terms of friendship, whether positive or negative. If we try to divide the Committee according to this imaginary rule, we find it hard to say which is which. Who are the conventional friends, who the real friends ? Even after acquiescing in Sir James's reckoning, four on his own side, and five on Mr. Duncombe's, one finds oneself involuntarily cross-dividing and analyzing afresh. Sir James lavishes his praises on his Committee. Of course he is bound to praise them, for he selected them. He is praising his own work, and a man loves his own work, because, as an ancient philsopher tells us, "it is part of a man's own self." They are not above his praise, for they are certainly not the most eminent and able of their parties. If we had the choice of a committee, how ever, we should not be governed in our selection entirely by party politics. Sir James's experience of public life has taught him long before this that facility of character and private understandings, not to say obligations, are far more to the purpose than mere party dif ferences. But friends, or not friends, the Committee could only judge according to the evidence ; and they would not allow Mr. Dun combe's own private wrong to come fairly before them. The charge having been made, and the opportunity of explanation thus far de nied, we are bound, in justice to Mr. Duncombe, to the Legislature of which he is a Member, and the constituency which he represents, to believe that his letters have been delayed and opened. Let us take the supposition most favourable for the Home-office. Let us suppose that Mr. Duncombe, with the usual instinct of an injured man, un able to detect the author of the blow, seeks to vent his wrath on the most prominent of the adverse crowd, and pass the blow on to somebody, it not exactly to the right quarter. A certain phantasm of" Mas-ter James •• Gra-ham" peep ing into his neighbour's letters has possessed Mr. Duncombe's mind, and with the knowledge that 1118 own letters have been hocussed, he joins the two ideas together—the person and the thing. One is dis posed to put the Home-office out of the question, because really the Hon. Member for Finsbury is not a person to excite much political trepidation. lie is rather too above-board for that. Eminent in his own line, great at a Reform banquet, powerftil on the hustings, and not inconsiderable in Parliament, he is not the man to devote his days to agitation, and his nights to conspiracy. However he may deal with the constitution of his country, he will never undermine it. At least, if our social fabric is so frail as to fear for any communica tions that gentleman is likely to transmit through the penny-post, we can only say it is hardly worth preserv ing. If, however, so extraordinary a selection has been made—if Mr. Duncombe has been elevated into the Guy Fawkes of Conservatism—it is due to all parties, and especially to the gossipping public, that a full disclosure should be mtPle. ,shocking as it would be to discover a few score of his letters transcribed into the national records, it would still be rather entertaining. By all means, insist then, on a committee of inquiry. What if Mr. Duncombe had all this time gone rather more deeply into it than people gave him credit for? For example, suppose we should find a letter promising a largo contribution In men and money to the Chartists ? Perhaps a hand some remittance in cash, which, under the circumstances, we think the Home Secretary would almost be justified in diverting to the public service. Has any one of the minor officials, of whom Sir J. Graham speaks so highly, made a good hit on the turf lately ? Possibly the circumstance may be explained by the discovery of a pri vate letter to Mr. Duncombe, containing the state of the odds at Newmarket. Has a lady's billet been left unanswered ? Let her com plain of the Home Secretary. Have Mr. Duncombe's tradesmen been surprised to find their mementos unacknowledged? What if we should stumble on their bills, and " bills delivered," duly filed at the Home-office? If the gentlemen there would not only open, but settle the accounts, it would be some atonement for the wrong. That is a price, however, which not even official curiosity will be ready to pay. But whatever the subject-matter of a correspondence—whether an invitation to a massacre or a dinner—whether an order for muskets or dress boots—people generally prefer to keep it.tothernselves. They are no better pleased to find their seals broken than their windows. A tell-tale correspondence is as bad as a leaky water-pipe, or a drain which unpleasantly reveals itself. Mr. Duncombe finds that somebody is in possession of his secrets, worthless to everybody, perhaps, but himself, but still no longer his secrets if only the post man possesses them. He goes to head-quarters in quest of the stolen property. The Premier knows too well the misery of unfinished work, and the inefficacy of half measures, to refuse Mr. Duncombe's suit. The Committee of last year made a show of research ;it began with Edward 11., and quoted abundance of Latin, old Norman, and Italian documents ; but it just stopped short of Mr. Duncombe'a last charge, expressed in plain modern English, and read by every man in the nation. This one omission was fatal. It was like amputating a limb, and just neglecting the one thing wanting to complete the pro cess—the tying up of the artery. Quashed this session, the squabble goes on to the next. Set it at rest. Give Mr. Duncombe fall play, and he will either do for himself or Sir James Graham.—Times. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere routine practitioner would never dream of finding them; traceable to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal springs of domestic misery, and premature mortallty."—Wakefield Journal.

Secondly—An account of the number of gallons of proof spirits, distinguishing the aorta, on which duty was paid for home consumption in each of the three kingdoms, with the rate per gallon, and the amount of such duty ; also, the total number of gallons and duty in the United Kingdom, for the year ending Jan. 5, 1845. Thirdly—An account, showing, under separate heads, the number of gallons of proof spirits (distinguishing the materials from which made) imported into each kingdom from each of the others respectively, and including, in the cases of England and Scotland, those conveyed either by land or by sea ; stating also the rate of duty per gallon, and the total amount thereof in each case, and what por tion of such duty was paid on removal of the spirits from bond, and what after their arrival at the place of destination, for the year end ing January 5, 1845.

BONE CRUSHING. —lt appears that in certain unions the paupers—compelled by the local board—crush bones. Sir James Graham objects to the practice ; Lord Ebrington defends it ; Wakley, with indignation, denounces It. Now, we have much ad miration of Mr. Wakley. Ile gives to things their proper names. Ile culls a rogue a rogue, and a fool a fool ; we like his out-speaking (whatever Mr. Roebuck, that bit of blighted notoriety, may think of it). Nevertheless we cannot side with Mr. Wakley in this matter of bones. We think their is a fitness of purpose—a felicity of idea—in compelling paupers to crush bones. Their bones are crushed, and wherefore should they not crush, the bones of other things ?—Punch. MEETING OF THE LIVERPOOL WEST INDIA ASSO CIATION.—This body met to-day, upon the subject of the forthcoming reduction of the duties upon sugar ; and it was anticipated by some of the parties present at the meeting, especially those connected with the refining trade, that they could be induced to petition Parliament in favour of a reduction of the duty upon molasses to 3s. per cwt. A great disinclination, however, appeared to be entertained to interfere with the Government measures, which are looked upon as mos t• favourable to the West Indian Planters, lest anything of an obnoxious character should creep into the mind of the Premier. Otherwise, th e West Indian party have no objection to such a reduction of colon ia l molasses.—Nandie.ster Guardian.

BY HENRY MILTON, EBQ --It affords u s rea l p l easure to b e , able fully to confirm in our report on Mr. Milton's second work of fiction, the high anticipations which were excited by his first book, entitled " Rivalry." We have no hesitation in saying that " Lady Cecilia Farrencourt" very greatly surpasses it. In excell ence o f p l ot , w hi c h is the most important, yet incomparably the rarest fea ture of a modern novel, the present work has been equalled by very few recent productions of a similar kind ; and in its general knowledge of actual life in all its phases, it is worthy to stand beside th e p ro d uc ti ons o f the writer's distinguished relative, Mrs, Trollope ; there are scenes of humour andof satire in it th a t wou ld i n no degree discredit that inimitable writer. The two lead ing characters of the work are the in com p ara bl e L a d y Cecilia herself, and the indescribable and inimitable Mr. Simon Cummins Allnut, the one representing the highest and most superfine of our May - fair aristocracy, and the other being an equally significant type of that apper taining to the City ; the aristocracy of the breeches 'pocket and the baiiker's book. The capital way in which these two individua ls are played o ff aga i ns t eac h other throughout the work affords scope for an unfail ing succession of interest and entertainment, and for several scenes that are not surpassed in any similar fic tion of the last few years.---Aava/ and Military Gazette.

A MAN KILLED ON WATERLOO-BRlDGB.—Yester day forenoon as a loaded waggon belonging to Messrs. Mumford, corn-merchants, was proceeding from the Surrey to the Middlesex side of Waterloo-bridge, a man in attendance on it very foolishly rested himself on the shaft, and from some cause unknown he fell into the road. A cry was raised to stop the horses, but before that could be accotnplished, the fore-wbeej had passed over'both the poor fellow's thighs. He waa.soon, raised from the ground by some per sons passing ; but, after uttering two or three groans, he expired.

PONTOP AND SOUTH lELDS RAILWAY COMPANY.—(THIS DAY.) The usual half-yearly general meeting of the Shareholders in the Pontop and South Shields Railway was held-this day, in Guildhall-buildings, Mr. Robert Stephenson, Chairma n of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The report stated that, notwithstanding the interruption of the general trade upon this line, for the space of four months in the past year, arising from the strike of the pitmen, the result of the year's traffic had proved to be fully equal to that of 1843, and the Directors were much gratified in finding that the anticipations which they entertained at the last half-yearly meeting had been realised.. The receipts for the half-year, to the 31st December last, were 34,158/. 1 ls. 10d., and the expenditure for the same period was 22,401/. 16s. 4d., leaving a balance of 11,756/. 158. 6d., which sum was chargeable with an interest upon the Mort gage and Loan Debt, amounting to 5,2901. 17s. 3d., leavings balance applicable to a dividend of 6,4651. 18s. 3d. The Di rectors of the Durham Junction Company had paid over to this Company the sum of 35,375/., and the further sum of 18,0001. was received in Jan. last, being the proportion of the purchase-money of the Durham Junction Railway for the 400 shares held by the late Stanhope and Tyne Com pany in that undertaking, and which formed part of the assets assigned under the provisions of the Mt of Incorporation to the Pontop and South Shields Company. It was proposed at once to write up this amount to the credit of the share account of each proprietor of shares in this Com pany, at the rate of 81. 10s. for each share. A furtherr tion of the D e b en t ure D e bt o f th e l ate S tan h ope and Ty ne Company had been paid off, amounting to 5,2.52/. 111.2 d. There now remained of the liabilities of that Company the sum of 35,500/. only, of which 14,500/. will be due in June or July this year, and the remainder in the years 1847 and 1849. To meet the payment of the 14,5004 the Directors proposed making a call of 1/. 10s. a share, giving credit for Si. 10s. a share, received of the Durham Junction Company. and requiring payment in cash of 11. 10s. only per share, which would be amply sufficient ,to mea t the required payment. Arrangements were pending with the Newcastle and Darlington Company, which, when sufficiently matured would be submitted to the Proprietory, and it was hoped that a considerable increase of revenue might be looked for from the complete development of the resources of that line. The remission of the duty on coals for export might also be expected materially to influence that portion of the trade upon the line, which depended upon foreign supply. The Directors closed their report with congratulating the Proprietors upon the pros perous state of the undertaking, which was now placed on a firm basis, affording a safe and certain return upon the capital invested with every prospect of a considerable increase at no distant period. The report having been received and adopted, a dividend of 30s. per share, being equal to 5/ per cent. per annum upon the paid up capital, was declared, and ordered to be paid im mediately. Messrs. Grant and Wood were then re-elected Directors, and a vote of thanks to the Chairman having been agreed to, the meeting separated. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

MISCHIEF FOR THE MILLION.—In consequence of the state of the law, alowing a person to walk into the British Museum, and smash the Portland Vase for three pounds, it is possible that this sort of amusement may supersede the hitherto aristocratic amusement of breaking windows, and wrenching oft door - knockers. A morning's lark hi the National Gallery would be cheap at thirty pounds, if half-a-dozen were to club together for the purpose, and the sum would include the privilege of running Walking-sticks into six of the best pictures the collection contains. We presume the law is lett in this state for the pur pose of allowing the luxury of mischief to those who are dis posed to pay for it. Three pounds were all that the law demanded for the amusement of breaking the Portland Vase, or rather for breaking the shade, the latter being the only article charged for, and the vase, being, of course, thrown in gratis. It is net often that Ole law is so very particular to a shade as it has been in this instance. We should like to know where the three pounds came from that were sent anonymously to pay the fine •for the mischievous donkey who smashed the precious article. No doubt, if the money could be traced, it would be found to have been supplied by one of the "vulgar rich," who would be happy to demolish the ENin marbles at so much a yard, or take the Museum all round upon a reduced scale of penalties.—Punch.

The Constitutionnel says, " the Budget Committee on Monday continued its examination of the estimates of the expenses of the Minister of the Marine and Colonies. Several Members made observations on the insufficiency of the number of ships for the due ser vice of the State, and the manner in which the grants for in creasing this branch of the national forces had hitherto been applied was severely oriticised. The Committee found, that, instead of the expected increase of the force, the money in tended for that object had been lavished in works for embel lishing the buildings at the ports." The Flotte announces several creations and promotions in the Legion of Honour, upon the recommendations of Marshal Bugeaud, Admiral Dupetit Thouars, and Captain Bruat. Among the new knights of the Legion of Honour is a Otaheitian chief. His Excellency Sarim Effendi, the Turkish Ambassador, arrived at Marseilles, on his way to London, with a suite of fifteen persons, on the 12th, and occupied apartments which had been prepared for him at the Hotel d'Orient. The Helretie says that the missionary societies of Geneva, Lausanne, and Neufchatel have addressed petitions to the President of the French Council of Ministers on the disas- trous position of Protestantism in the island of Otaheite, in consequence of the French occupation of the island. The Protestant societies of German• Switzerland, and a large part of Germany itself, have followed the example of these societies. The Revue de Paris announces that Count Mole had been slightly indisposed during several days. On Monday the king sent to inquire after the health of the Count, who was sufficiently recovered to open his salons to his friends on Tuesday night. The sudden variations of temperature at Paris during some days past have exercised a most unfavourable influence over the health of the inhabitants. The hospitals were never before known to be so full. On Sunday morning a man was found frozen to death on the road between Paris and St. Denis. He was known to have been somewhat overcome with liquor in the evening, and probably had fallen or laid himself down to sleep. His body was as stiff as if it were made of wood. The Spectateur de Dijon states that, on the 6th, a pheno menon took place at Flavigny, such as has not been seen since the famous Christmas night twenty-four years back. The thunder was heard to roll loudly, and flashes of light ning were seen, in the midst of a heavy fall of snow. The Abbe Souchet was tried by the Court of Assizes of Caen on the 15th, on a charge of having, in a pamphlet, en titled " Advertissement aux Catholiques sur les dangers qui les menacent dans la personne de leurs enfans," sought to excite hatred and contempt in the public mind against a cer tain class of persons, and, in particular, the members of the University. He was found guilty, and sentenced to fifteen days' imprisonment and 100 f. fine, with confiscation of the pamphlet. The Minister of the Interior has decided that, in future, no stage performances by companies of children shall be per mitted either in Paris or the departments. The Gazette de Tribunaux states that this decision has been caused chiefly by the disclosures of an infamous nature, which took place in a recent prosecution relative to one of the theatres of juve nile performers in Paris. JAW AND POZZOM. The Spring Assizes for. the Northern Division of Lanca shire commenced on Monday, at Lancaster. Their Lordships sat at half-past eleven o'clock, Mr. Justice Wightman on the civil side, and Mr. Justice Coltman on the criminal. The calendar contains the names of but twelve prisoners, of whom one stands charged with murder. The other cases are of the ordinary kind. On the civil side there are but four causes entered. An action brought by Mr. William John O'Connell, the London " head repeal warden," against the proprietors of the Warder newspaper, commenced in the Dublin Court of Ex chequer on Monday, and terminated on Tuesday morning. The plaintiff sought to recover 1,0104 damages for the publi cation by the defendants of a certain paragraph, copied from a London morning paper, reflecting, it was alleged, upon the private character of Mr. O'Connell. The jury found a ver dict_for the defendants. The case of Ward v. Squires, an action for seduction, was tried in the Court of Common Pleas, in the City. The jury found for the plaintiff, with 401. damages. A case interesting to the sporting world was tried in the Court of Queen's Bench—it was that of Williams v. Went worth. The action arose out of the famous Running Rein affair. The plaintiff had drawn that horse at a Derby sweep held at the Hero of Waterloo, Waterloo-road, and he had originally brought his action against the landlord, Mr. Okey, for 2001., which was the amount that was to go to the person who drew the " first horse." But Mr. Wentworth, who had drawn Orlando at the same sweep, was made, by a judge's order, to be the defendant instead of Mr. Okey. It was con t en d e d, on the part of the defendant, that the horse which was declared the winner (viz., Orlando) must be considered the "first horse." The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Charles Mathews, the actor, made another appear ance in the Bankruptcy Court before Mr. Commissioner Shepherd. Various proofs of debts were offered, and the case was adjourned for the purpose of enabling Messrs. Levi to perfect the proofs for a claim of 5001. It was for money lent at the rate of 60 per cent. interest. At Clerkenwell, Mr. Samuel Stoke, who described himself as a gentleman of independent property, residing at Whet stone, Hertfordshire, was charged with having indecently as saulted John Thornton, a toll-collector, at Holloway-gate. The prisoner was committed for trial, with privilege to find bail, himself in 200 L, and two sureties in 100/. each. Several watermen were fined at the Thames Police-court for various offences against the provisions of the Waterman's Act. COURT-FASHXONABLE. Viscount Melbourne entertained Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, the Earl of Clarendon, the Dowager Lady Hol land, Sir Denis Le Marchant, and a select party, at dinner, on Tuesday last, at his Lordship's residence in South-street.

The Earl of Yarborough has left town on his return to Brocklesby, Lincolnshire. Earl and Countess Cowper came to town yesterday from Pansanger, their seat near Hertford.

The Marchioness of Ailsa is suffering from severe indis position at St. Margaret's, Isleworth. Her Ladyship has partially lost the use of her limbs. In consequence of the Marchioness's illness the family do not contemplate coming to town this season. The Countess of Clarendon is going on as well as can be expected, after her recent indisposition. The Earl of Granville has been slightly indisposed at Brighton, but is now considered much better. The Earl of Ripon is progressing towards convalescence, but is still prevented by indisposition from attending to his official duties. The Duke of Wellington called personally, yesterday, at his Lordship's residence on Carlton-house terrace, to inquire after the Earl's health, MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. Warburton, President of the Geological Society, gave his second entertainment last evening to a numerous circle of his scientific friends. A supplement to the Gazette published yesterday evening con tains an account, pursuant to the 7th of Vic., c. 32, of the names and addresses of the persons who compose the partnerships of the Union Bank of London, of the London and County Banking Company, of the London and Dublin Bank, and of the Commercial Bank of London, together with the names of the places where these banks carry on their business. The City of Dublin-and the British and Irish Steam Packet Companies have resolved on constructing, for the trade be tween liublin and London, a superior class of iron sailing vessels, provided with subsidiary power on the principle of the screw propeller. This resolution has been formed to suit the greatly increased demand of exporters and importers in those cities, and at the towns on the English coast usually touched at by vessels making the voyage from Dublin to London. The general Court of Governors of King's College Hospital was held in the Board-room on Wednesday, to receive the report of the Managing Committee, and for the trans action of other business. Mr. W. Fergusson was called to the chair. The receipts for the past year, ending December 31, were 4,011/. 78. 5d., and the expen diture, 4,1364 7s. 11d. Although the receipts of the past year exceeded by nearly 4001. those of 1843, the Committee regretted that, for the first time they had. been unable to meet the yearly liabilities from their own resources. Up wards of 50,000 persons have been relieved since the esta blishment of the Hospital.
