THE MANCHESTER ATHENIEUM. MANCHESTER, Ocr. 24.—Last evening, the members of this literary association gave their third annual soirée at the Free Trade-hall, Peter's-street. The attendance, as on pre vious occasions, was very large, the vast hall, capable, it is said, of accommodating 3,000 in a sitting posture, being crowded in every part by well-dressed ladies and gentlemen. The chairman, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, was supported on the right by the Mayor, on the left by Mr. Cobden, M.P., Mr. M. Philips, M.P., Mr. M. Gibson, M.P„ Mr. Brotherton, M.P., Mr. Bright, M.P., Mr. Douglas Jerrold, and several literary gentlemen from London. Mr. Charles Dickens was to have come, but was prevented by the delicate state of Mrs. Dickens's health. N. Thiers was also invited, but was unable, on account of engagements in Paris, to proceed to Manchester. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, who was received with loud cheers, commenced the proceedings by briefly adverting to the splendid talents of some of his predecessors in the chair. Impressive as the scene before him would be in any place, it became solemn, almost awful, when the true relations, the real significancy of its splendour were revealed. When they considered that this festival of intellect was held in the capi tal of a district which comprised scarcely less than two mil lions of inhabitants, engrossed in a far greater proportion by the toils of commerce and manufacture than any other dis trict in the world—when they remembered that this great assembly indicated an unprecedented desire upon the part of those who directed the labour of these large classes to share with them whose labour they thus directed, and whose inte rest they thus guarded, that literature, which was once the privilege of the cloistered few, but now formed the finest social links of this vast society in this vast city—when they bore in mind all these considerations, they felt that the object which this society represented, although in tensely local, was yet of universal concern, and they would cease to wonder at that familiar :interest which he, a stranger, took in it, whenever it was presented to his notice•—(Cheers.) The Learned Gentleman pro ceeded to congratulate the meeting upon what their institution had accomplished—upon what had been accomplished, too, in Manchester, in a spirit kindred to the exertions of the institution whose members he was ad dressing. He especially congratulated them on the boon which they had secured to the toiling thousands of Man chester, the precious Saturday half-holiday—that boon alike precious to man as to boy—when manhood borrowed the en dearing name from childhood, and sought to enrich it with all that remained of childhood's still-remembered feelings— (Cheers)—precious in the impulse which it gave to labour, and most precious in its result, when, brightened and graced by those modes which this association indicated, it left body and mind more free for the service of earth and heaven ! (Cheers.) In considering the benefits which the Manchester Athenaeum was likely to be the source of to those among whom it was founded, he would regard them not so much as afford ing a path by which a few might rise above their station, as promising a means of adorning and gracing that sphere of action in which many must continue to move. It might be that sonic master-mind might start into fame from their ranks ; and should such rare felicity be their lot, with how great pride would they expatiate upon that greatness which they had watched in its dawn, and with how pure a satisfac tion would they commemorate the achievements of their then illustrious townsman, when, satiated with the applause of strangers, he would revert to those scenes among which his genius found its first expression, and earned its first prize. But it was not in the culture of such rare minds that he an ticipated the happiest fruits of their peaceful victories. The talents which in darker ages might have suggested the desire to guide the obscure but honourable sphere of peace ful labour in quest of literary distinction, could at present only be safely employed in adorning the path in which they originally moved. But if it were too late to be ambitious except on some rare occasions, for the immortality which earth could bestow, yet, for that true immortality of which time's longest duration was only a vivid symbol—for that immortality, the cultivation of wisdom and piety was as momentous now as ever. They would believe him when he said that there was no path more open to the influenoe of heaven than the common path of daily duty. On that path the lights from various departments of their institution would fall with the steadiest lustre, and by that light they might walk in peace and gladness, if not in glory, happy in the opportunity of elucidating some great truth which might be reflected from the polished mirrors of thousands of asso ciated minds.—(Cheers.) After alluding to several other points, the Learned Gentleman touched upon ths financial affairs of the institution—a sketch of which we have already given—and concluded by urging forcibly upon the assem blage the duty of supporting strenuously and unweariedly the institution whose anniversary they were met to celebrate. To the young he especially committed it. For their benefit it was especially founded—for its welfare they were especially responsible. Let them never forget, in this great capital of physical labour, how important it was that spiritual power should be awakened into like activity. Canning once said that he had called a new world into existence to redress the balance of the old; but let them keep the balance even, be tween the world within and that without, keeping steady the social vessel with contemplation's immortal freightage., Mr. MARK Plumps, M.P., was the next speaker. He re gretted that it had not been in his power to have attended other and former anniversaries of the Manchester Athenrenm. If they had ever entertained any doubt as to the success of the Institution, he trusted that those fears had been as fully removed on their part as he was sure that they were upon his own. It was evident that the mind of Manchester was set upon effecting its object. He saw before him the as surance that the Athenaeum would not stand still, much less retrograde. On the contrary, he looked forward to the pe riod when almost every young man of Manchester should be a member of the Athenaeum, or of some kindred institution, the whole to work together towards one common object, and with one common aim. There seemed t o be b u t one opinion in favour of the Institution. It was founded upon the best of all principles—self-government. They were responsible to themselves for the management of their own affairs, and he trusted that that management would continue to be as prosperous as it had hitherto been. The Honeurable Gentle man proceeded to allude to a part of Mr. Disraeli's speech last year, in which he dissected the lonely condition of a young man arrived from the country in Manchester, lowly and unknown. To all such the Athenaeum afforded a rally ing point, lhe best possible refuge for a young man so situated. There be would meet with welcome and instruction—there lie might amuse, while he instructed himself—there, while morally and intellectually he was cultivating his faculties, he would also feel that socially he was not alone. After an ap peal to the ladies, who had done so much for the Athenaeum, and an energetically expressed hope that they would con tinue their exertions in its behalf, the Honourable Gentleman resumed his seat amid hearty applause. Mr. F. STONE, who was introduced by the Chairman as an artist of celebrity, who left Manchester when young to push his fortunes single- handed in London, next addressed the meeting, and dilated on the advantages which such an insti tution as that whose prosperity they were now met to cele brate held out to young students in the fine arts. He in ferred from the success of the Athenaeum a sympathy for the fine arts, properly so called; and he ventured to hope the time was fast approaching when a public school of art would be established.—(Cheers.) Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., disclaimed all pretensions to literary or scientific distinction ; he professed to having attained only to this degree,—that he had learned to admire and honour those men who, by their deep thought or eloquent writings, had done anythinps, to improve and elevate man kind—(Cheers)—and when he looked at that vast assemblage, he might say there were thousands present who might claim not to be literary men, but at least to have warm sympathies with the feelings they expressed, and to honour those who thus led the minds of their countrymen.—(Cheers.) They were met not for the purpose of engaging in a frivo lous amusement, or passing an idle hour, but for the pur p ise of supporting an institution of the very best and noblest character—an institution which had for its object the promo tion, among those who at a very early period must become themselves the directors and controllers of public opinion and intelligence in that district, of those sentiments and that cha racter which would enable them satisfactorily to fulfil those thigh duties to which they would speedily be called. The very character of the district presented one of the strongest argu ments in favour of such an institution. It was more populous, more wealthy, and had more powers of producing wealth than any other part of the kingdom. For activity of mind it was unequalled ; he doubted if it were equalled by any otherpor tion of the British empir e; an d i f there were such P a 9 ula • tion, such wealth, such po wer to 'create wealth, and such activity of mind, was he wrong in coming to the conclusion that the course which should be pursued and the opinions that should prevail there would greatly influence the destinies (A' the empire and of the world?—(Cheers.) The records of the past were those of error, crime, and suffering, and was it too much to say that mankind might yet be made more happy— was it an irreverent thought that they might by cultivation more largely develop the divine faculties within them, and thus aid at once the human happiness and the honour and re aaown of the Creator himself? Time was when the destiny of nations was in the hands of one, or a few men; but a mighty change was now taking place, and in proportion as nations became informed and intelligent, power was diffused among them, and became transferred from the hands of the few to those of the many. Public opinion was daily gathering strength, and was marching on to omnipotence and an undis puted dominion.—(Cheers.) He admitted that much had been done in Manchester,—he doubted whether any town in the kingdom had made such rapid strides,—but still he could not conceal from himself that much remained to be done. They must erect for theinseves a high standard and a noble aim, and rest satisfied with nothing while anything re mained to be achieved. It was not enougi for them in Man chester that they clothed the world cheaply; it was not enough that many merchants and manufacturers amassed wealth, and that multitudes of industrious artizans were well paid, and in comfortable circumstances; more than this was wanted. Measures should be taken to secure a sound and real education, not so much among the operative classes as among his own class and rank, connected with the manufac tures and commerce of the district. He held it to be quite impossible that there should be a great up-raising of the ope rative classes unless there were a corresponding improve ment in the class next above them in the social scale.—(Cheers.) A great effort at some not distant period must be made for this purpose. When he recollected that the so-called national universities were not for them, and that from their honours and advantages the vast multitudes of that district were effectually debarred, it was not for them to fold their arms in apathy because they found diffi culties in their path. If they were surmountable, why should they not be surmounted? He pictured to himself the good, the intelligent, and generous people of Lancashire and Yorkshire, dissatisfied with things as they were with respect to educational means, gradually rousing themselves from their apathy; and he saw a long list of names denoting large subscriptions for the purpose of founding, building, and establishing some great free college or university which should be for the especial service of those who were engaged in the vast commerce of the district.—(Cheers.) The principle on which it should proceed must be, that it should be free, open to all—they should not suppose that the teaching, the imperfect teaching, of a couple of dead languages was educa tion, any more than they were to consider that true nobility consisted in a long line of dead ancestors. He hoped that the education which would be imparted would be of a prac tical character, and that with all the knowledge communi cated there would be associated those noble sentiments and generous sympaties which formed the essence of true wis dom, and enabled its possessors rightly to use the informa tion they had acquired.—(Cheers.) lie did not despair of , seeing what he now suggested accomplished at no distant . . day—(Cheers.) Thay had warred with the elements, and chained the p owers of nature to do their bidding. The very_ air they breath e d wou ld speedily propel them across a kingdom in a few hours. With increased physical co m f or t s and advant ages would 'they neglect the far more noble, be cause the indestructible portionia of their being ?—victors in the material, would thev (o e iee c r ontent to gain no laurels in soa llther would they not, the intellectual world ?= to loftier heights, diving to deeper depths and =lard blessings , J ess jekrepral stature, and add to all those rn purer ri p p r, }, i ia t t, ftsth they were surrounded those which a rich oel i asting, which would spring up <-, ,_-__ , i.ej. s . tune of the mind?

He saw they under stood well whom he meant, and therefore he would at once call on Mr. Douglas Jerrold to address them. Mr. DOUGLAS JERROLD was received with the greatest en thusiasm. After the cheering which greeted his appearance had subsided he spoke as follows :—The high object of your Institution—its many refining tendencies—have been so fully discussed—have been set forth with such various and com manding eloquence by your distinguished Chairman, that little, indeed, on such points is left for me to utter; and herein do I hold myself peculiarly fortunate. I congratulate myself, and I especially congratulate you, upon the very subordinate part I must necessarily play in the drama of this evening. I have, you will perceive, already touched upon the drama. I thought, before my present .3udieme, I might venture to do so ; though, I assure you, there are certain circles in the great city I quttted yesterday, in which I fear, any such allusion would have been considered to be very vulgar indeed. But having alluded to the drama, and having still your cordial welcome, I cannot but com pare myself to one of the very many walking gentlemen with which the drama abounds. It is the great occasion on which they appear that allows to them even the most passing attention ; not to themselves, but to the principles with which they are humbly associated—principles carried out by stronger, loftier agents—that they owe their presence on the scene ; and such, ladies and gentlemen, do I feel to be my position this evening. The success of your admirable Insti tution has been made so manifest to-night—its prosperity has been so full and complete—its noble uses have been so widely acknowledged, that it is as difficult to find anything new to praise as it seems hopeless for me to discover aught to con demn. Indeed, did I selfishly wish for matter for a more lengthened speech, I should wish for the revival of some good old wholesome wrong, and desire the presence of one of those bugbears of the good old times, one of those creatures of ignorance, that condemned knowledge for the like reason that the owl flees the sun.—(Cheers.) It had not eyes, poor thing, to bear that light created for the health and happiness of the meanest man that lives.—(Cheers.) But there is no such antagonist to fight—no such bugbear to grapple with.—(Cheers.) The Lady Knowledge, too long pent up in her tower, guarded not only by giants, but, more provoking still, by dwarfs—(Cheers)—and we have only to look back a few years, a very few years, to own there have been dwarfs as mischievous as any in fairy tale—(Cheers) — the Lady Knowledge, I say, is no longer a prisoner (Cheers.) We have killed the giants, we have slain the dwarfs. (Cheers,)—And how have we killed them ? Why, as Luther rebuked the Devil, by throwing inkstands at them.—(Loud cheers and laughter.) Her music is no longer made the idle luxury of the few, but is acknow ledged in the daily want of the many.—(Cheers.) It is a proud thing for you, people of Manchester, that you have erected a temple to her—a temple, wherein the hum. blest of your fellow-townsmen may come and listen to her. and feel his nature at once softened and elevated by the magic of her voice. —(Cheers.) To say that it offered to such the sweetest solace after the day of toil—to say that it imparted to him a keener consciousness of the dignity of his na ture—to say, that whilst teaching them their own right ful position in the world, it makes them respect the rightful position of others, is only to translate into the merest common-place the oft-repeated eloquence of gifted men.—(Loud cheers.) These things are now truisms. But human nature is apt to be ungrateful to truisms ; for, let us not forget how fortunate it is for us that we live in an age when they are truisms.—(Cheers.) For truths, like oaks, are of slow growth; and it is with the early truth as with th• acorn—show it to merest ignorance, and it. cannot conceive how that little germ should hold within it a latent power that, duly developed, shall breast the billow, and defy the thunder.—(Loud cheers.) And so has truth grown, but with this sad difference, that it has too often been watered with the blood of those who have dared to plant it.—(Cheers.) Happy then is it for us, and for the blessing ought we to render up most humble and hearty thanks that we may to night be gathered together under its branches--(Cheers), for your institution is a great truth—(Cheers)—a truth, it may be, planted amidst the fears of the timid, the sneers of the foolish, the misgivings of really well-meaning folks, who still thought that that truth for the masses was the barley sugar of children.—(Cheers and laughter.) They might have a little—just a little when very good—but to allow them to have their fill of it, was to risk a terrible derange ment of the body social.—(Loud cheers.) With the success of your Institution made as clear as the sun, it is amusing, it is more, it is instructive, to remember the prophecies of certain men, who predicted that the very light that would play about instruction such as yours would only herald what to them appeared the total destruction of what they consi dered the best foundations of society.—(Cheers.) These men have reminded me of a story I have read in one of Captain Parry's voyages of a certain bear.—(Cheers and laughter.) The poor beast had drifted upon a loose piece of ice into the sun. And as he was borne into a yet warmer and wanner latitude, he felt his footing melt and melt away ; and then, the story says, he growled and roared as though heaven and earth were coming together.—(Loud cheers and laughter.) And so was it with these men—and the species, I fear is even now not wholly extinct—(Cheers)—they could not conceive that the very current of time that was bearing them yet nearer to the sun of knowledge, was not bearing them to destruction. But it is not so, for it is not with men as with bears.—(Cheers.) The tide that carries us on -in kn .wledge, which is power, gives to us that best, that noblest element of power—gentleness, which, in the fullness of its teaching, will bear all men to that happy end, of which institutions like yours are the most hopeful beginning.— (Loud and continued cheering.) Mr. M. GIBSON congratulated them on the improving prospects of the Atheneum. They heard in other places of panics, and of stock being down in the market; but, judging from that meeting, he might say the Athenmum stock was at a high premium. It was an excellent investment; a per manent investment, which if it did not give a direct pecu niary return, offered one which money could not purchase, but which all could attain in the advantages of true mental culture. It was natural to found such an institution in a commercial community. The genius of commerce was diffusion, and not content with extending the material com forts of life, they were combined together for the purpose of diffusing intellectual and moral blessing,. The first English printer, Caxton, was a merchant, and that great mercantile community was now engaged in extending through all its members the blessings which the printing-press had bestowed on society.—(Cheers.) Their friend Mr. Bright had referred to Oxford awl Cambridge ; he might also have dwelt on the powerful influence which such societies as this had on those older institutions, the universities of the land. There was a time when it was thought dero gatory to men of noble birth to possess the commonest rudi ments of knowledge. They were told by Mr. Southey, in his work on " The Progress of Society," that the time had not long gone by when a nobleman would think it a test of his high birth that he should be totally ignorant, and not even be possessed of the power of reading and writing. Was it possible to believe that such a state of things existed? Such undoubtedly was the fact; and at our national univer sities degrees were conferred on men of high birth without preliminary examination. But knowledge was becoming spread through all classes of society, and the consciousness that knowledge is power had brought on the necessity of giving a sound education to men of all ranks and condi tions. He congratulated them on the success of their insti tution, and hoped that kindred societies would spread over the length and breadth of the land, confident that with an improved mental culture there would come happiness and prosperity, and, with general education carried into practice, additional force and effect would be given to those words of Scripture, " Honour all men."—(Cheers.) Mr. LOVER, who had often appeared before the members of the Manchester Athenaeum as a public servant, was proud at the invitation to come among them as a guest. He had tra versed every quarter of England, and had never met with so intelligent an audience as in the manufacturing districts. Many a time and oft, when, before the titled audiences of Hanover square, he had ventured to utter what he thought a pleasantry to the cold simper of the "reserved seats," had he longed for the generous laugh and ready sympathy of the back seats of the Manchester Athenaeum.—(Cheers.) He had always found that the circles of society were like the circles of the atmosphere—the higher, the colder they were. —(Cheers.) He rejoiced that he had been enabled to be pre sent can that occasion to see so brilliant an assembly, which was large enough to make half-a-dozen good audiences; for at one time he much feared he should have been prevented by his engagements in another part of the country, for indeed he might say he was almost in the same predicament with Mr. C. Dickens, for the place he was very nearly detained at was called Beddicomb.—(Cheers and much laughter.) Mr. Con DEN proposed a vote of thanks to the Directors of theset providingAh t e h e e x n tdooef delightful ni t g h m e fe y r eo s mi • n e g r h a e l .T 1 r s h o epy largely the i it n e d r e a b fir y t r es men for that eto take the lead in assemblies of that sort ; and in so d •oi he thought they were p l aced in their proper sphere doing re (Cheers.) When Mr. Di c k ens two years ago came forward from his closet to preside at their meeting, and when he saw assembled around him all the wealth and intelligence and influence of the district, he felt that there was an era in the social history of the country.—(Cheers.) Literary men had not held their true position in this country. While in France the leading men, the natural leaders of the country, were those renowned for their genius and intellect, in England they held no social position, but were like hermits living in their cells. The reason, he believed, was they did not know the literary men of their country. —(Hear, and cheers.) They were indebted to their Committee for making them better acquainted with their literary men, and he had little doubt that among other contributions to public usefulness that institution had made, it would be recorded that it had been instrumental in produc ing a new estimate of literary men, which would not stop in their appreciation of them as the leaders and champions of a large section of the most intelligent portion of the middle classes ; but they wo u ld, ere l on g, see the men of science and literature holding that rank which they did in France — (Cheers)—and proud indeed they would have reason to .be when they thought that the course of the Manchester Athe naeum had contributed to so desirable a result.—,Loud cheers.) They had Mrs. Caudle with them tt.gt night— (Cheers and laughter)—and, therefore they :rust not forget that the hour was getting on, and thl-e were other amuse ments in store for some of them; he would not, therefore, detain them with any further obervations.—(Cheers. ) Mr. HEYWOOD seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation, and responded to by Mr. E. Watkins. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, and three cheers for his lady, the seats were removed, and dan • cing com menced. Two military bands were in attendance, and played during the evening many favourite overtures and grand selections of music. SHOCKING ATROCITY.—The Droit gives the fol owing account of a most atrocious act committed on Satur day night last, near the Barriere de Mont Parnasse. M. Gerard Fleury, a brush manufacturer, was returning at a rather late hour from a house in that quarter, to whichhe had gone on business, when passing along the outer boule vard he was, in an obscure and unfrequented spot, seized suddenly by three men. Two of them confined his arms, while the third forced his fingers into both his eyes, and turned them out of their sockets, but, not being able to tear them away completely, he replaced them, and endeavoured with all his powers to crush them. From the pain and loss of blood M. Fleury fainted, and his torturers, believing him to be dead, left him and fled. In this horrible condition he remained on the ground for three hours, at the end of which time he was found and carried to the Necker Hos pital. Means of cure are being tried, but it is believed that nothing short of miracle can save his sight. M. Fleury had about him a watch and some money, which remained un touched. This renders the barbarous deed the more inex plicable, and creates a belief that it was an act of vengeance; but, as the sufferer is not sensible of having done any serious injury to any one, the inference drawn is that he had been mistaken for some other person. influentialareNiz,owrdst UNIVERSITY S l l o T bn li deom M : O n a v na E , imdßeg.NeTnG.t—ri Grosvenor; sm W veenn e ,o ra hear .m SI among that whom an a vy l e Eo y af , Adana, Bart. ; MaYrs.

INTERESTING NARRATIVE OF A FUGITIVE SLAVE. (From the Cork Southern Reporter.) On Tuesday an influential and numerously attended meet ing of the citizens was held in the City Court-house, to hear the statement of Mr. Frederick Douglas, himself " a fugitive slave," relative to slavery in America, and also to give expression to public opinion against that atrocious and cruel system. The meeting was announced for two o'clock, but long be fore that hour the Court-house was densely crowded in every part. The grand jury gallery was thronged with ladies, who seemed to take the liveliest interest in the pro ceedings. His Worship the Mayor entered the court a little after two o'clock, accompanied by Mr. Buffum, an American gentleman, and Mr. Frederi c k Douglas, who certainly ap peared a noble specimen of the race to which he belorCed The oratorical powers possessed by Mr. Douglas were a mat ter of admiration, nay, astonishment, during the progress of the speech he delivered. To facility and power of expression he joined a most impressive and energetic delivery, with the most humorous method of exposing the hypocrisy and duplicity of some of the American slaveholders. In fact, his powers in this latter respect literally kept the meeting in a roar. The MAYOR, on taking the chair, explained the object for which the meeting had been convened. The cause of human liberty should not be limited to any country or clime, and he was sure it would be readily taken up by an Irish audience. Whatever might be the condition of men who were badly fed, and badly paid, still they stood intellectually and every other way higher than those who were made mere chattel goods, and beaten without mercy or consideration.—(Cheers.) They had many things to do to elevate their own country, but they had not to get rid of the lash, and the privilege they enjoyed of personal freedom they should strive to ex tend to all mankind.—(Loud cheering.) They were only asked to extend to the American continent the exertions and influence which worked so much good in their own islands. His Worship here alluded to the exertions of Mr. O'Connell in the cause of freedom, observing that it must be gratifying to him to reflect that those exertions had been attended with many and signal triumphs.-- (Loud cheers.) lie (the speaker) held it to be spurious philosophy, and worse morals, to suppose that he, into whom the Deity had breathed a living soul, should be less than man, merely because of the darkness of his skin. They had many instances to show that, however they differed outwardly in colour, the soul was of one colour, and that was bright and noble.--(Applause.) Mr. MARTIN proposed the first resolution. The Rev. Mr. WHITLEGG seconded it. He wished to express the pleasure he felt in attending such a meeting. It was said if they went abroad to look for grievances they would be neglectful of their duties at home ; but facts disproved the assertion, for among the most strenuous advocates of freedom abroad were to be found the most untiring supporters of liberty and peace at home.—(Cheers.) Mr. BUFFUM proposed the next resolution. The kind and sympathetic manner in which he was received in Cork more than compensated him for all he suffered in the anti-slavery cause. He was mobbed, his life was in danger, but what of that, he felt it a glory to mingle in the strife—(Applause)-- to take part in the emancipation of his countrymen in bonds. The cause of freedom in one country was intimately con nected with the same cause in another, and if they con tributed to break off the shackles of American slavery, the latter country would then be better able to assist them in turn.— (Cheers.) How could America labour for the eleva tion of any class of people, while she had in her own bosom three millions of slaves? The speaker here observed that Frederick Douglas, who had been twenty years in slavery, and had experienced its horrors, would address the meeting, so that it would not be necessary for him to tresspass on them further. Mr. BERNARD said that justice was so fully understood by a Cork audience that he would say no more than merely second the resolution. Counsellor MAGUIRE proposed the third resolution. It was a matter of record that in spite of the renown of America —(Cheers)—her slavery system made her the most degraded country on the face of the earth. The boasted free institu tions of America were only a mockery and a scorn, because they were tainted with slavery at the heart's core. Mr. FREDERICK DOUGLAS then came forward amid loud cheering. He said—Sir, I never more than at present lack e d words to express my feelings. The cordial and manly reception I have met with, and the spirit of freedom that seems to animate the bosoms of the entire audience, have filled my heart with feelings I am incapable of expressing. I stand before you in the most extraordinary position that one human being ever stood before his race—a slave— a slave not in the ordinary sense of the term, not in a political sense, but in its real and intrinsic meaning. I have not been striplibd of one of my rights and privi leges, but of all. By the laws of the country whence I came, I was deprived of myself—of my own body, soul, and spirit, and I am free only because I succeeded in escaping the clutches of the man who claimed me as his property. There are fourteen slave States in America, and I was sold as a slave at a very early age, little more than seven years, in the southern part of Maryland. While there I conceived the idea of escaping into one of the free States, which I even tually succeeded in accomplishing. On the 3rd Sept., 1838, I made my escape into Massachus4ets, a free State, and it is a pleasing coincidence that just seven years after I stood up in the Royal Exchange in Dublin, to unfold to the people of that good city the wrongs and sufferings to which my race in America were exposed.—(Applause.) On escaping into Mass?.chussets I went to work on the quays, rolling oil casks to get a livelihood, and in about three years after, having been induced to attend an anti-slavery meeting at Nantucket, it was there announced that I should go from town to town to expose their nefarious system. For four years I was then engaged in discussing the slavery question, and during that time I bad opportunities of arranging my thoughts and language. It was at least doubted if I had ever been a slave, and this doubt being used to injure the anti-slavery cause, I was induced to set the matter at rest by publishing the nar• rative of my life. A person undertaking to write a book without learning will appear rather novel, but such as it was I gave it to the public.—(Hear, hear.) The excitement at least increased so much that it was thought better for me to get out of the way lest my master might use some stratagem to get me back into his clutches. I am here then in order to avoid the scent of the bloodhounds of America, and of spreading light on the subject of her slave system. There is nothing slavery dislikes half so much as the light. It is a gigantic system of iniquity, that feeds and lives in darkness, and, like a tree with its roots turned to the sun, it perishes when exposed to the light.--(Loud cheering.) We want to arouse public indignationagainst the system of slavery, and to bring the concentrated execrations of the civilised world to bear on it like a thunderbolt.—(Loud cheering.) The rela tion of master and slave in America should be clearly under stood. The master is allowed by law to hold his slave as his possession and property, which means the right of one man to hold property in his fellow. The master can buy, sell, bequeath his slave as well as any other pro perty, nay, he shall decide what the poor slave is to eat, what he is to drink, where and when he shall speak. He also decides for his affections, when and whom he is to marry, and, what is more enormous, how long that marriage covenant is to endure. The slaveholder exercises the bloody power of tearing asunder those whom God had joined together—of separating husbard from wife, parent from child, and of leaving the hut vacant, and the hearth de solate.—(Sensation.) The slaveholders of America resort to every species of cruelty, but they can never reduce the slave to a willing obedience. The natural elasticity of the human soul repels the slightest attempt to enslave it. The black slaves of America are not wholly without that elasticity; they are men, and, being so, they do not submit readily to the yoke.—(Great cheering.) It is easy to keep a brute in the position of a brute, but when you undertake to place a man in the same state, believe me you must build your fences higher, and your doors firmer than before. A bride you may molest sometimes with impunity, but never a man. Men--• the black slaves of America—are capable of resenting an in sult, of revenging an outrage, and of looking defiance at their masters.—(Applause.) Oftentimes, when the poor ' slave, after recovering from the application of the scourge and the branding iron, looks at his master with a face indicating dissatisfaction, he is subjected to fresh punish ment. That tross look must be at once repulsed, and the master sel.:lps, as he says, " the d—l out of him ;" for when a slai:e looks dissatisfied with his condition, according to his ruel taskmaster's idea, he looks as if lie had the devil in him, and it must be whipped out.—(oh, oh.) The state of slavery is one of perpetual cruelty. When very young, as I stated, was sold into slavery, and was placed under the control of a little boy who had orders to kick me when he liked ; whenever the little boy got cross, his mother used to say "Go and whip Freddy." I, however, soon began to reason upon the matter, and found that I had as good a right to kick Tommy as Tommy had me.—(Loud laughter, and cheering.) My dissatisfaction with my condition soon appeared, and I was most brutally treated. I stand before you with the marks of the slave-driver's whip, that will go down with mo to my grave ; but, what is worse, I feel the scourge of slavery itself piercing into my heart, crushing my feelings, and sinking me into the depths of moral and intel lectual degradation.—(Loud cheering.) In the South, the laws are exceedingly cruel, more so than in the northern States. The most cruel feature of the system in the northern States is the slave trade. The domestic slave trade of Ame rica is now in the height of Its prosperity from the annexa tion of Texas to our Union. In the northern States they actually breed slaves, and rear them for the southern mar kets; and the constant dread of being sold is often more terrible than the reality itself. Here the speaker proceeded to comment upon the law of America relative to the punishment of slaves, and read the following:— " If more than seven slaves are found together in any road , without a white person—twenty lashes apiece. For visit ing a plantation without At written pass—ten lashes. For letting loose a boat from where it is made fast—thirty-nine lashes; and for the second offence, shall have his ear cut off. For having an article for sale vrithout a ticket from his master--ten lashes. For being on horseback without the written permission of his master—twenty-five lashes." I saw one poor woman (continued the speaker) who had her ear nailed to a post, for attempting to run away, but the agony she endured was so great, that she tore away, and left her ear behind.—(Great sensation). This is the law of Ame rica after her declaration of independence—the land in which are millions of professed Christians, and which sup ports their religion at a cost of twenty millions dollars an nually, and yet she has three millions of human beings the subjects of the hellish laws I have read. We would not ask you to interfere with the politics of America, or involve your military aid to put down American slavery, No, we only demand your moral and religious influence on the slave in question, and believe me the effects of that influence will be overwhelming.—(Cheers.) We want to awaken the slave holder to a sense of the iniquity of his position, and to draw him from his nefarious habits. We want to encircle Ame rica with a girdle of Anti-slavery fire, that will reflect tight upon the darkness of the slave institutions, and alarm their guilty upholders.—(Great applause.) It must also be :stated that the American pulpit is on the side of sla very, and the Bible is blasphemously quoted in support of it. The ministers of religion actually quoted Scripture in support of the most cruel and bloody outrages on the slaves. My own master Was:a Methodist class-leader—(Laughter, and "Oh")—and he bared the neck of a young woman, in my presence, and he cut her with a cow skin. He then went away, and when he returned to complete the castigation, he quoted the passage i " He that knoweth his master's will and doeth it not, shall be beaten with rUnriy stripes."—(Laughter.) The preachers say to the slaves tliey should obey their masters, because (Tod commands it, and because their happi ness depended on it.—(A laugh.) Here the speaker assumed the attitude and drlviling Manner so characteristic of the Amencan peddlers, amid the laughter of all present, and continued—Thus do these hypocrites cant. They also tell the slaves there IS rid happiness but in obedience, and wherever you see poverty and misery, be sure it results from di3- ebedience,—(Langhter.) In order to illustrate this they ttil a story Of a slave having been sent to work, and when his master came up, he found poor Sambo asleep. Picture the feelings, say they, of that pious master, his authority thrown off, and his work not done. The master then goes to the law and the testimony, and he there read the passage I have already quoted, and Sambo is lashed se that he cannot work for a week after. Your servants continued the preacher, "To what was this whipping traceable, to disobedience, and if you would not be whipped, and if you bask in the sunshine of your master's favour, let me exhort you to obedience. Yon should also be grateful that god in his mercy brought you from Africa to this Christian land."—(Great laughter.) They also tell the wretched slaves that God make them to do the working, and the white men the thinking. And such is the ignorance in /'- which the slaves are held that some of them go home and say, "Me hear a good serman to-day, de minister make ebery thing so clear, whiteman above a nigger any day.—(Roars of laughter.) It is punishable with death for the second attempt to teach a slave his let ters in America—(Loud expressions of disgust)—and in that Protestant country the slave is denied the privilege of learn ing the name of the God that made him. Slavery, with all its bloody paraphernalia, is upheld by the Church of the country. We want theni to have the Methodists of Inland speak to those of America, and say, " While your hands are red with blood, while the thumb-scl ews and gags, and whips, are wrapped up in the pontifical robes of your Church, we will have no fellowship with you, or acknowledge you Chris tians."—(Great applause.) There are men who come here and preach, whose robes are yet red with blood, but these things should not be. Let these American Christians know their hands are too red to be grasped by Irishmen. Presby terians, Episcopalians, Congregationalists, and Roman Ca tholics, stand forth to the world and declare to the American Church, that until she puts away slavery, you can have no sympathy or fellowship with them.—(Applause.) For myself I believe in Christianity. I love it. I love that religion which is from above, without partiality or hypocrisy—that religion based upon that broad, that world-embracing prin ciple, "That whatever you would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them "—(Loud cheering). In America Bible and slave-holders go hand in hand. The Church and the slave prison stand together, and while you hear the chaunting of psalms in one, you hear the clanking of chains in the other. The man who wields the cow-hide during the week, fills the pulpit on Sunday—here we have robbery and religion united—devils dressed in angels' garments. The man who whipped me in the week used to attend to show me the way of life on the Sabbath. I cannot proceed without alluding to a man who did much to abolish slavery, I mean Daniel O'Connell.—(Loud cheers.) I feel grateful to Jim, for his voice has made American slavery shake to its centre. I am determined wherever I go, and whatever position I may fill, to speak with grateful emotions of Mr. O'Connell's labours.—(Cheering.) I heard his denunciation of slavery, I heard my master curse him, and therefore I loved him. —(Great cheering.) In London, Mr. O'Connell tore off the mask of hypocrisy from the slaveholders, and branded them as the vilest of the vile and the most execrable of the execrable, for no man can put words together stronger than Mr. O'Connell.—(Laughter and cheering.) The speaker proceeded at some length, and related amusing anecdotes connected with his history in the United States. In one instance he was travelling to Vermont, and hav ing arrived at a stage, they took in five new passen gers. It being dark at the time, they did not know the colour of his (the speaker's) skin, and he was treated with all manner of respect. In fact he could not help thinking at the time that he would be a great man if perpetual darkness would only take the day of place. Scarcely, however, had the light gilded the green mountains of Vermont than he saw one of the chaps in the coach take a sly peep at him and whisper to another "Egad, after all, 'tis a nigger."— (Great laughter.) He had black looks for the remainder of the way, and disrespect. That feeling of prejudice had now changed, and he could now walk through Boston in the most refined company. The speaker concluded by saying that he would again address them during his stay in Cork. Mr. VARIAN proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Martin for influencing Fred. Douglas and Mr. Buffum to pay them a visit. Mr. W. C. LOGAN seconded it. It was owing to the ex ertions of the " Friends " that West Indian slavery was abolished, and surely as one of that community, the citizens of Cork could not withhold their thanks and admiration from William Martin.—(Cheers.) Allusion was made to Mr. O'Connell, and he had also the pleasure of hearing him in London, and of listening to his eloquent denunciations of slavery, by which the spirit of the nation was roused against the system.—(Hear, par.) Mr. MARTIN said he did not expect the vote of thanks, but all he had to say was, that he was an abominator of slavery for the last fifty years.—( Loud cheers.) Alderman T. LYONS was then moved to the chair, and a vote of thanks proposed by Alderman A. Roots: to his Worship, for his dignified conduct while in the chair, and his efforts in the cause of suffering humanity. The vote of thanks was carried by acclamation, and the meeting adjourned. THE LAW-WRITERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—Having recently seen a paragraph in your widely circulated paper, in which it was stated that owing to the unusual press of Law and Parliamentary business, the law writers of Serle's-place and neighbourhood intended to •'strike" for higher prices, and also that the remuneration which the men now receive is Gd. for common law, or 36-lined briefs, and Bd. for Chancery, or 42-lined; and as such a statement is likely to prove very injurious to the trade generally, and causes those solicitors and others who employ law sta tioners, and pay a fair price to them to consider themselves overcharged, I beg to give it most unqualified contradiction, and endeavour to explain it as nearly as possible. The respectable portion of the trade—those who know their business—have never been in the habit of receiving less than Bd. for sheets, whether 36 or 42-lined. This is the trade price, and with it they are very well satisfied, but awing to the great press of business last session a great many interlopers got in (persons entirely ignorant of any other part of the business than the mere copying), and, in order to obtain employment, worked at any price, and now, unable to get a living themselves, and unwilling to allow others so to do, have industriously circulated this report. I am myself in the business, and have been for many years, and, knowing the falsity of the statement, and also the in jury which would arise from it if uncontradicted, I think it a duty incumbent on me, in justice to myself and others, who would disdain to impose upon the necessitous, and who never pay less than the trade price to any one we employ, to deny it.—l have inclosed my card herein, and remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, Pa , tridges, is 6d to 2s 3d ; Hares, 3s to 3s Gd; Leverets, 2s Gd to 3s; and Grouse, is 6d to s each.

Deposit, 11. 7s. 6d. per Share. (Provisionally Registered according to the Act of Parliament.) This Company is now forming for the purpose of establishing two magnificent Cemeteries on the banks of the Thames, at a convenient distance east and west of the metropolis, and in order to render them more extensively available to the poorer classes of the community, in addition to the usual modes of interment as practised by existing ceme teries, they propose introducing the novel but strikingly beautiful spectacle of burial by water conveyance. Every arrangement has been made which can be considered essential to the attainment of that great desideratum—the abolition of burials in the overcrowded graveyards of the metropolis. fhe Cemeteries will embrace an extent of nearly three hundred acres each, and no expense will be spared in order to render them worthy the age we live in, and of the richest and most powerfhl city in the world. They propose to have steam-boats with the Archimedean screw propeller, and appropriate funeral trappings, exclusively:used for this purpose; also row boats after the fashion of the Venetiin gondola, and houses of reception of the dead, which will be selected on each side of the river. The prospectus, with high and influential names attached, will be issued in a few days; in the meantime, all further information, and printed applications for shares, may be obtained at the ofilces of the Association, No. 32, Moorgate street, or at the Solicitors, Messrs. Bourdillon and Son, Winchester-street. E MARE, Interim Secretary 22d October, 1845, PRELIMINARY NOTICE. r r HE EXETER, TIVERTON, AND MINE 1. HEAD DIRECT RAILWAY, with extension from Minehead to Ilfracombe. (Provisionally Registered.) Capital, 1,600,0001., in 64,000 Shares of 251. each. Deposit, 21. 12s. 6d. per Share. This railway will pass from the city of Exeter. through the rich valley of the Exe, via Silverton and Bickleigh, direct to Tiverton, one of the chief towns of this important district, and formerly the principal market and manufacturing town of the west of England. It will administer largely to the prosperity of this rich and productive country, and will pass from Tiverton, by Ba&np ton, Dnlverton, and Dunster, to the port of Minehead in the Bristol Channel, opposite Landaff, Swansea, and Cardiff, from whence the produce of the rich mines and quarries of Merthyr Tydvil, Ponty- pool, and Newport, in Wales, can be transferred by the shortest route to the English markets. From Minehead it will pass by Porlock and Combe-Marten to the much-frequented watering-place of Ilfracombe, where it unites with the Barnstaple and Ilfracombe Ra.lway. At Minehead it will also join the Bridgewater and Mine kead Railway, to which it will serve as an important feeder, connect ing the towns on the north coast of Devon directly with the great western trunk railroads passing from London to the Land's End. It will also form a very shert and direct junction of the Bristol and English Channels. A mo.e valuable and important line; o the country which it will traverse could not be projected. A list of the Provisional Committee will be published in a few days ; and in the meantime further infor mation may be obtained, and applications for shares may be made to, the solicitors, Messrs.

THE public is most respectfully informed that Messrs. NICOLL have received permission, according to the specification in the Act 6 and 7 Viet., cap 65, to alter and otherwise adapt the coat. known as the REGISTERED PALETOT, to be suitable for winter wear, and it is now being made of a thicker ma terial, viz., of milled Llama cloth ; it is waterproofed by the new method, which, it is well known, does not unnecessarily confine the heat of the body, but the material, when thus operated upon, remains as porous as other that has not undergone this process, the effect being that it does not sop, and will turn a stout shower of rain, but not that of 24 hours' duration. Nicoll's Registered Paletot for winter wear is a garment that is warm without being heavy, which, even for travelling, the necessity of wrapping up in a cumber some manner, has of late years been found needless, distances being so much shortened by present railway and other conveyances. Nicoll's Registered Paletot, used alone as a morning frock coat, not over another, is found to be a most agreeable garment for walking exercise ; and from the skilful way it is formed, it does not confine the chest or shoulders, but has an equally neat and gentlemanly appearance when worn in cold wet weather, or in the evening over a morning or dress coat. The price is three guineas, that for summer wear being two. It may be ob served that those principles are retained that has obtained for the Registered Paletot the patronage of more than one of the Crowned Heads of Europe. The Prince Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, the chief members of the Court, prin cipal families in the kingdom, who it is well known are distinguishel in their taste for perfect neatness of dress. The Regis lered Paletot having therefore necessarily excluded anything vulgar or outré in appearance, would alone recommend itself to the notice of the respectable members of the middle classes, was it not further as sisted by its moderate price, being for ready money. It may be ob tained of the principal tailors of the chief provincial cities ; but as only most of the respectable firms are appointed agents, any attempt on the part of others will thus by the public be at once detected, and such attempts, when known, will be visited by the penalties provided in the Act beforementioned ; and in furtherance of which a reward of fifty pounds will be paid for information that may lead to the conviction of such parties by H. J. and G. Nicoll, 114, Regent street, London. CLARK'S NEW LIGHT.-IMMENSE SALE. Perfect Lamp at last. All who require lamps are in — ited to see it.

On Wednesday, five young men, privates in the 69th Regiment of Foot, stationed in Birmingham Foot Bar racks, were placed in the dock before Charles Shaw, Esq., and Dr. Melson, charged with the following se rious assaults:—Their names were Michael Brinkworth, Michael Brophy, Patrick Kelly, William Kelly, and James M`Nally, all natives of Ireland. They had been taken up just before on a warrant signed by Dr. Melson. W. Dale, whose lip was cut through, and his clothes covered with blood, deposed to being in the Cock beer house, in Lichfield-street, soon after six o'clock the night before. He had left his work only a short time, and was having a pint of ale in the tap-room, when suddenly ten or a dozen soldiers, all of the 69th, rushed into the room armed with sticks. He was immediately knocked down by Patrick Kelly, and remained senseless some time. While in that state he was struck and kicked all over. He had never had a word with any of them. They came into the tap-room brandishing their sticks and shouting something like " Hugh ! hugh !" He never saw or heard any insult offered to them. He heard one of them say, " The not dead yet," and they beat him again as he lay on the floor. Thomas Lowe said he was in his shop at the back of the Cock beer-house. He heard the cry of "Murder !" and on running in saw the last witness on the ground bleeding, and saw him again abused by Brophy, who made use of the language described by Dale, and he was himself knocked down. Henry Caldicott was in the house when the soldiers came into the room ; one of them said, " What have you got to say against or about soldiers?" He was knocked down instantly, and beat dreadfully with their sticks. Those who had no sticks got hold of the poker and shovel. No one had spoken a word to them. He was badly hurt, and his coat (produced) was torn to rags. He saw no woman with them. Brinkworth was one of the party. William Harley next appeared, with his head badly cut, and said he was waiting to grind malt, when the soldiers came in shout ing, knocking all down before them. James Booth (with broken nose and injured jaw) said he saw the soldiers come down stairs and commence the attack, without pro vocation. He was knocked down senseless. The soldiers used the house. John Gold corroborated the previous statement. Mrs. Maria Wood, the landlady, deposed to seeing one of the soldiers go into the kitchin and imme diately return, and then they all rushed in. Two of the soldiers (none of the prisoners) begged for mercy for her, as she was threatened to be done for. Parts of the sticks, loaded with lead, were produced. There was no qnarrel previous to the attack ; the prisoners were all there When she went to the barracks that morning the prisoners drew their bayonets, and made use of threats towards her. The prisoners, who had declined to have the hearing postponed, or to call witnesses, made some statement of Dale having struck one of them with the poker, and seemed to make light of the affair altogether. After a consultation with Mr. Gem, Mr. Shaw said, "We con sider the assault proved, and fine each of you SL, or two months' imprisonment." One of the soldiers observed, " We won't pay the fi ne ," an d t h ey were taken from the dock apparently enjoying the thing as a joke.—Birming ham Advertiser. DUNSTER CASTLE.—The great civil war, certainly one of the most picturesque, as it is one of the most stirring periods of English history, affords materials to the novelist of a singularly attractive character. This has, doubtless, in duced the author of the new historical romance, entitled "Dunster Castle," a writer who has already obtained con siderable reputation in the pleasant field of fiction, to select an epoch so fruitful in romantic incidents. Dunster Castle was the scene of one of the most striking episodes in that ex traordinary drama, which had the whole realm of England for its stage, and the best men of England fur its actors. It is, therefore, impossible to exaggerate the interest which the reader must feel in such a subject, handled in the skilful manner which, according to report, will render this romance of the Civil Wars one of the most entertaining books of the season. COLLISION AT SEA.—On Tuesday evening last the Telemachus, coal schooner, laden, bound to Littlehampton, was run into off Newhaven by the John (also coal laden), bound to Guernsey, and cut down almost to the water's edge; but providentially, by the assistance of tarpauling and fine weather, she was kept afloat until she arrived in safety at Littlehampton.—Brighton Herald The railway Fluty, in digging through the hill at Blyton, near Gainsborough, have discovered a mineral desig nated " munding," of no value, yet indicating that copper or lead ore might be found by digging deeper into the bowels of the earth.--Hull Advertiser. LINCOLN CATHEDRAL.--OH Sunday last a long printed document, addressed "To the vergers, stall-keepers, and other officers," was placed in the stalls and pews, signed " Charles Goddard, D.D., ' sub-dean and canon in residence, in which that dignitary remarks that he has had complaints from several respectable quarters, and he has also seen him self, that persons are placed in the stalls, or most distin guished places of the Cathedra l,who do not come within the rule of Church discipline, which supposes every one to be seated according to his " rank, quality, and station." Hence arises the disregard of the rubric, persons sitting during the service, instead of standing or kneeling when prescribed ; also talking and laughing during service to the annoyance of others more devout, and postures which would be unbe coming even in a private house. Dr. Goddard goes on to state that, on remonstrance, some persons have expressed their determination to resist all attempts to reduce them to better order, and therefore he enjoins on the officers of the Cathedral to use their best judgment and discretion, and not to admit to their stalls any person who has not the character of a gentleman. He reminds them that no one but the dean and canons have any right to the stalls, or whom they may appoint to occupy them; others are by sufferance, for use, but not for abuse. The document goes on to order that those who sit during service, or who persist in laughing and talk ing, after having been once spoken to, are to be removed, and, if need be, by the constable, with as little disturbance as possible to the congregation. The same instructions are made in a less degree as it regards the pews and benches. The officers are finally reminded that they will be only doing their duty, and will be held harmless. —Hull Advertiser. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, OCT. 24.—There are fair supplies of all grain this week. The Wheat trade was steady to-day, and in prices of good qualities bothof new and old no alteration can be quoted. Barley better supply, but not so free sale as before. Beans, old English, rather dearer. Oats, 1 4d. to 1 / 2 d. per stone higher, and Shelling advanced Is. to 2s. per load. Malt in great request at more money. LONDON AND BRIGHTON AND LONDON AND CROY DON COMPANIES.—The negotiations which have been pending for some days past between the Brighton and Croydon Com panies have at length been brought to a satisfactory con clusion. The directors of the two lines, after long and anxious deliberation, have finally agreed on an amalgama tion, the shares to be consolidated into stock, and to rank therein, Brighton at 5W., and Croydon at 18/. 10s. This arrangement is of course subject to the approval of the re spective proprietaries, but there can be no doubt that the ratification will be cheerfully awarded, as the prosperity of both lines must be materially enhanced in consequence. COURT OF SEWERS, WESTMINSTER —A Special Court of Sewers for the city of Westminster was held at the Courthouse, Greek-street, Soho, yesterday, for the purpose of deciding upon the particular plans henceforth to be used in the construction of sewers in the districts within the control of this board. Mr. Willoughby took the chair, and having called the attention of the Court to the grave importance of the subject which they had met to discuss, the various plans, ten in number, were laid on the table. Mr. Leslie moved a reoolution—" That the egg form of a sewer with the narrow end downwards, be the form hereafter to be used in all the sewers to be constructed in the district of this court." It was impossible to show any form of sewer that would be preferable in all situations. He had tried the pro posed form of draia on his own property, and 137,(1 succeeded completely. Under ordinary circumstances, lie believed that the egg form was the most efficient, most durable, and most economical. He (Mr. Leslie) had sillanitted a lithograph of the egg shape of sewer to various eminent builders, who all approved of that form, as had also Major-General Pasley and Captain Dennison, Royal Engineers. One of the great ob jections to the egg shape was the large quantity of mortar necessarily inserted in the joints, but that could be obviated by using radiated bricks at an extra expense of only 4d. per foot. The Hon. F. Byng seconded the motion, and in so doing reprobated the practice of appointing a perpetual chair man, as giving an improper influence to that person. Mr. Allason differed from the form proposed by the motion, and thought it would not be found to be applicable to all situa tions. Various other gentlemen addressed the Cottrtpro and con., Mr. Mayhew, district survoyor, being of opinion that the form proposed was the very best that could be chosen. Mr. Cumberley quoted an opinion of one of the officers of the Court that the present sewers were little better than cess pools. The motion having been put, the numbers were de clared to be—For the motion, 16; against it, 5. Mr. Leslie next moved the adoption of the particular plans of Mr. John Phillips, on the ground of their great economy and facility, which was carried unanimously, and the meeting broke up at half-past four o'clock. and park of th e E arl of VP,- HEATON PARK.--.Th e punch !lie of the mansion completed by on .ne f our r i va l railway companies pro nine miles, of •• ~on, we understand, has b een jested bet we ent,l 3 : e r _.; n n o c b b l iester and B ury , a di stance of eight or 5 5 00, - 0 - 00/. for :th is property.

AMOR JUSTITIA. THE NEW DEAN of WESTMINSTER Dr. Bull is to be appointed Dean of Westminster, in the stead of Dr. Wilberforce, who hath been appointed Bishop of Oxford. Dr. Bull is a high-minded man, but always esteemed for his straightforwardness, which shone remarkably when contrasted with the conduct of our Right Reverend and respected Diocesan. Dr. Bull's claims upon the Minister rest, we presume, upon his or thodox Protestantism, and the good service which be did in the early part of 1845, by taking the conceit (out of good Bishop Phillpotts. This high dignitary had or dered, or rather encouraged the inferior clergy to turn right about face. He was stoutly opposed by the Chap ter of Eketer Cathedral, of whonr—Dr. Bull was the leading spirit. The Bishop wriggled, and twisted, awl shuffled, and evaded, after his own fashion. But Dr. Bull pursued him, tossed him, trampled on him, and left him in the mire—the stains of which he bath never yet been able to get rid of. This promotion of Dr. Bull must be very discouraging to Bishop Phillpotts, who likes to have it believed that he is powerful enough to require respectful treatment from the Government ; whereas the great Tory Government hath treated him more like an article which had been bought in the market and had not proved worth the purchase. Bishop Phillpotts bath been fostering the party which seeks to elevate the Church above the State, and which de nounces the Protestant Reformation—the greatest event since the foundation of Christianity—because it placed all men on an equal footing with their Maker, and showed that under the Christian Dispensation a privileged and exclusive priesthood could not be tolerated by the State. Bishop Phillpotts rode into distinction on the back of the Protestant principle: after encumbering it with his weight till it carried him to the height of his ambition he abandoned it, and turued round in order to get distinction from his advocacy of the prin ciples which he had hitherto derided. Conduct of this kind must have ensured the contempt of all honest men ; and the Government though not very nice itself in mat ters of principle, is evidently ashamed of the deep-dyed treachery of Bishop Phillpotts. It cannot degrade him in office nor lower him in public estimation, but it does what it can to mark its opinion of the prelate, by exalt ing the man who most effectually resisted his treacherous vagaries at the right time, and placed on record that estimate of his character (in the exposure of A Pre bendary"), the justice of which all impartial men frankly admitted.— Western Times.

To Mr. THOMAS Paotrr, 229, Strand, London. Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway Station, Hants, October 26, 1844. Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills fir the Gout. I was taken on Thurs day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out of my bed, and alter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.— ours truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY. Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community, nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the impor tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, the efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec tive for gout and rheumatism, in all its various forms, including sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as tooth-ache, Rte. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part.
