Such is an undisputed fact : and in good honest truth we feel not the least surprise at it ; but when we can name one subject on which all the world are unanimous, then indeed we may well express as tonishment and wonder, and infer that it must be stamped with ex cellence and perfection; and such is the character universally con ceded to Hyam's matchless clothing ! It may naturally be asked by some, " Why does Ilyam maintain such. unbounded popularity ?" We gladly reply to this question,— Firstly. His cloths are purchased from the most noted manufac turers in England, and are paid for in cash. Secondly. Having cloths of a first-rate character, he employs cutters of immense talent and experience to cut those materials into the newest style of fashion. Thirdly. The next essential is " good, substantial workmanship," and in this respect Hyam's establishment ranks higher than any other house in the kingdom. Fourthly. His clothing is proverbially acknowledged to be " su perior" to any other manufactured, and yet it is sold fully 40 per cent. cheaper ! ! Now, these are the reasons why through the dominion, Of " llyam's famed clothes" there's one only opinion ! And that is expressed in a manner so clear, That unbounded success is his portion each year !! L. IIYAM, Tailoring and Outfitting Establishment, 36, Gracoeharch street, London. LIST OF PRICES.

GREENOCK ELECTION. On Tuesday, the day fixed by the sheriff for the nomina tion of a person to supply the place of Mr. Wallace, no less than three candidates appeared, viz. :—Mr. Walter Baine, Mr. Alexander Dunlop, advocate, and a Mr. A.PCrae, a Chartist preacher. Mr. Robert Steele, ship carpenter, pro posed Mr. Baine, seconded by Mr. James Stuart, merchant. Mr. Alexander Dunlop was proposed by Mr. M'llvain, shoemaker, seconded by Mr. John Gray, merchant. Mr. John Neilson Nailor proposed Mr. M'Crae, seconded by Mr. Moodie, cow feeder. Each of the candidates addressed the meeting. Mr. Baine, who is a churchman, will support the Government grant to Maynooth, but a persen who is decidedly hostile to that measure must be had, and there- MAW- ocaplauckamMe"iat-kkaJCrws, although, from the speeches, we are inclined to think that Mr.'Baine will go much further in that direction than Mr. Dunlop. Probably, it is not unreasonable that such should be the case, seeing that Mr. Baine has all his life been a gentle man very largely engaged in mercantile pursuits, while, on the other hand, Mr. Dunlop is a lawyer, and his studies naturally have been turned in a different direction. Then comes Mr. M'Crae, whose address was more like a sermon from a Baptist preacher than a disquisition, as he evidently intended it should be, on political economy. Abuse of the Whigs was his alpha and omega. The Sheriff declared the show of hands to be in favour of Mr. M'Crae. Messrs. Baine and Dunlop then demanded a poll, but Mr. M'Crae declined to go to the poll. The Sheriff fixed Thursday for taking the poll, which was to commence at eight o'clock, and end at four. REPRESENTATION OE WEST KENT. A meeting of Conservative electors was held at the Star Hotel, Maidstone, yesterday, Captain Marsham, R.N., in the chair, when it was unanimously resolved, " That as Colonel Austen h;d expressed his willingness to come forward upon the present occasion, this meeting deter mines to support him by every available means so as to secure his election.' Of the Gallant Colonel, the CHAIRMAN said he was a man devotedly attached to the Established Church, an earnest and indefatigable friend to the farmer, and a supporter of all those principles which were best calculated to advance the interests of the electors of the county of Kent, and the public at large. Colonel AUSTEN afterwards addressed the meeting, and ex pressed his determined opposition to the grant to 111aynooth, which in his opinion had been begun in error, had been abused, and ought rather to be suspended than increased. Sir W. B. lIIDDEL then read the resolution of Lord Holmes dale's Committee in London :—" That Lord Holmesdale, being in compliance with a requisitio n s i gne d b y upwards of 1,300 electors, and with the promises of support of a numerous and influental meeting held at Maidstone, declared a candi date for the western division of the county of Kent, and no circumstances having since occurred to raise a substantial doubt as to his success, this Committee regret that the cen tral Committee should have arranged with Captain King to substitute Colonel Austen for Lord Holmesdale, for the pur pose of opposing the Government on the Maynooth grant, without sufficient demonstration on the part of the con stituency in general." The feeling of discontent expressed by Lord Holmesdale's Committee at Captain King's and the central Committee's decision will not die away, and the Liberals should be pre pared. The day of nomination is fixed for this day week, the 25th inst. [ADVERTISEMENT.] HY GEIAN MANIFESTO. If doctors can (as they hold out to the world) prove that such poisons as prussic acid, arsenie, opium, &c., &c., can (under any circumstances) cure, or tend to cure, any disease or malady, we will at once admit that that medicine should only be practised by those who know how to deal with such poisons ; but satisfied as we are that they .cannot prove any such thing, and, moreover, fully believing that poisons are held out medi cinally to the world by doctors in order to create a monopoly and make a trade of " advice," we deny the right of any Legislature to force, by enactment, such a body of men upon the public as those practising on the organic theory, which theory admits of poisons being held out as medicines. llygeists claim the medical liberty of the subject, be cause they believe that with what is strictly " medici nal "—that is, a proper vegetable purgative, all persons can, and ought, to be their own doctors. It is, in short, because this opinion is now become prevalent, that doc tors are obliged to go before Parliament for extra ordinary and most unjust demands—such as to compel the public to employ them nolens volens.

WalCi• MAXWELL LUNATIC ASYLUM. .A special report of the Committee of Visiting Justices of this Asylum was read. It stated tilt the number of pauper hula tics in the county had lately increased to an alarming exttint, the number of patients having been double the amo ant during the last ten years. It also referred to the want of sufficient accommodation for the pauper lunatics of the county. A. very warm discussion took place upon the subject, during which Mr. Tulk spoke at considerable length, and alluded to the petition presented to the House of Commons by the ve s t ry o f the parish of St. Marvlebone, in which they by the Committee of Visiting Justices with having acted injuriously to the interests of the county, by the mode they conduct that establishment, in refusing to receive a certain class of patients sent by the parish of Marylebone ; but they (the Committee) had no power to act in the way which that parish desired —namely, that of admitting old and chronic cases, and allowing them to remain in the asylum. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting on the same sul4ject. The report was ultimately ordered to be printed and circu lated previous to the next Court day. The reports of the Visiting Justices of the different prisons were read; the remarks contained therein did not exhibit anything of importance, they merely alluded to the health and conduct of the prisoners in the respective gaols, which was generally good. The reports were received. After di3pgsing of some other business, a county rate of three farthings in the pound was made, and the meeting separated. SHOOTING EXTRAORDINARY. THE LADY AND HER FIVE CATS.—Yesterday, Frederick Banks, of New-cross, Deptford, master butcher, appeared before Mr. Grove, at the Greenwich Police• court, to answer a summons at the instance of a lady named Comfort Corns lius, residing at the same place, for wilfully shooting five favourite cats, her property. The complainant, who was most fashionably . attired in deep mourning, deposed that the defendant had shot all her cats. On the 29th of March he killed three of her cats; he shot them with a pistol. Witness went to the defendant's house, and asked him why he had acted in such a disgrace ful way towards her—the poor animals had never done him any harm. The defendant did not deny the cruelty he had practised, but at once admitted it, and in the rudest possible manner told her that she should "teach her cats to keep better company." The defendant shot another of her cats on tke 29th, and one more on the 30th. She heard the fire of the gun or pistol at her back-door, and afterwards heard de fendant's door shut to; and lastly he shot another on the Ist of April, the poor creature was on the top of her wash-house. She went again to the defendant, who behaved as before, and asked (after acknowledging that he had destroyed the ill fated animals), how many more she had to dispose of. The defendant had killed one of her neighbour's cats shortly be fore coming to answer complainant. He used a pistol for the purpose, and the wounds inflicted she could put her fingers into. Kir. Grove asked the complainant what value she set upon her cats? Mrs. Comfort Cornelius said she would not have lost them for a sovereign a piece. She saw the defendant on the Ist of April with the pistol in his hand. The defendant denied that he had used a pistol. He ad mitted having told the lady that he had killed the cats; but that was no reason why he should have done so. The com plainant came in a flame, and was so much excited; and she could not be surprised at it if so, as the cats had annoyed him very much. A female witness, a neighbour, deposed, that she had heard Mr. Banks say that he had shot the cats on the Ist of April, and another the day previous. The defendant said he was annoyed by five cats from one house, and was not that a serious nuisance? Mr. Grove told the defendant he was convicted on his own confession ; he should, therefore, in the present instance, fine him 55., and 2s. costs ; and, in default, commit him for one week to the county gaol. The money was paid immediately, and the parties retired, apparently by no means pleased with the result. SIR H. POTTINGER. On Monday the freedom of the city of Edinburgh was conferred upon Sir Henry Pottinger. After the LORD PROVOST had addressed the gallant officer in appropriate terms— Sir H. l'orrixokn said—l assure you I feel quite unable to express the high sense I entertain of the honour which I receive by your enrolling me among the citiiens of Edin burgh. I trust I need not assure you that I went out to China with a full determination to act as I did at the moment of victory. I had long made up my mind to feel that the people of China were like ourselves, and like people inin all other parts of the world, open to kindness, good-will, and persuasion.—(Loud applause.) Upon this p inciple I acted throughout all my proceedings with China up to the last hour. It is very gratifying for me to find that I have not only been successful in all that was left me to do .by my own Government, but I believe I may say, without as sinning too much, that I have left a very good impression among the Chinese, and that that impression is not worn out. As an instance of which I may mention, that within the last fortnight or three weeks I have had letters from China, in which I am led to believe that everything referring to me is the standard by wh:cli the Chinese Government wish to con duct themselves.—(Applause.)

I need not say more than express my thanks for the honour yoti have done me. On all occasions I shall recollect this event as one of the happiest in my life.— (Applause.) Sir Henry then shook hands with the members of the town council present, and withdrew amidst the repeated applause of those present.—Scotsman. THE MAYNOOTH GRANT. CAMBRIDGE, Arum 17.—At the Senate held this dad• for the election of librarian, the following requisition to the Vice- Chancellor was circulated : " To the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge. " We, the undersigned members of the Senate, request you will take the necessary steps for the adoption of a petition to the Senate against the Bill now under the consideration of Parliament, for the endowment of the Roman Catholic Col lege of Maynooth." This requisition soon obtained a considerable number of signatures, amongst others those of the following :—G. E. Corrte, Norrisian Professor of Divinity ; James Scholefield, Regius Professor of Greek ; George Spence, LL.D., one of the Caput; James llildyard, Fellow and Tutor of Christ's; Roger Burton, 8.D., Fellow and Tutor of Emanuel ; William Bates, Fellow and Lecturer of Christ's ; J. J. Smith, Fellow and Tutor of Caius ; and many others. At eight o'clock the requisition was still in courseof signa• ture, and would, in all probability, be presented last night. As it is understood that the whole of the Caput are in favour of this step, it is generally believed that there will be no opposition to a grace being submitted to the Senate, in conformity with the terms of the requisition. ELECTION OF LIBRARIAN.-At three o'clock yesterday, when the Senate adjourned till half-past seven, the numbers were :—For Mr. Power 275 ; for Mr. Smith, 199 ; majority in favour of Mr. Power, 76. The voting was to close at tea o'clock last night. DEA.TII OF ADMIRAL SIR P. C. H. DURHAM.— The navy has lost another of her brightest ornaments, in the death of Admiral of the Red Sir Philip Durham, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, which took place at Naples on the 2d instant, the venerable officer dying in the 83d year of his age. Sir Philie entered the navy in 1777. Ile was midshipman of the Edgar, 74, Captain John Elliott, which ship formed part of Sir George Rodney's fleet at the defeat and capture of the Spanish Admiral Don Juan de Langara, and the relief of Gibraltar in 1780. He was afterwards acting lieutenant and signal officer of the Victory, 104, flag-ship of Rear Admiral Kempenfelt, and followed that gallant officer on his removing into the Royal George. He continued in. that ship until the fatal catastrophe which befel her at Spit head, August 29,1782. He latterly commanded the Defence, 74, in which ship be took a most active part in Sir Robert Calder's action with the combined fleets of France and Spain, on the 22d of July, and at the ever memorable battle of Trafalgar on the 21st of October, 1805. Subsequently he hoisted a broad pendant as commodore commanding the third division of the Mediterranean fleet, and was present at the destruction of two French line-of-battle ships, nearFrontigaan, Oct. 26,1809, He attained the rank of Rear-Admiral 31st of July, 1810, and was employed in the North Sea in 1811. His name appeared in the London Gazette in 1798 ; twine iii 1805, and in 1814. Ile received both honorary and pecu niary rewards, and had a medal granted to him for the battle of Irafalgar. He was made a Vice. Admiral on the 12th of August, 1819, and full Admiral on the 22d of July, 1830 ; and on the 17th of November of that year, he was nominated that of Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, where he struck a G.C.B. The last service of this distinguished officer was his flag, in November, 1839. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT WAPPING-WALL.--This morning, shortly after one o'clock, a destructive fire broke ont in the Royal Oak, Wapping-wall, in the occupation of Mr. Ferguson ' licensed victualler. The i nma t es fortunately escaped by the back of the premises in safety, but in a state floors, and and the roof tiraeof were of nudity. So rapidly did the fire extend fro m fl oor to the wor ou t breaktliatin less the thanwhole a o q f the u al qu arter e contents, o o n f t e a n n t hour floo from es a ;ai a id s, the mast a and blockdjoiningp m remi a s k e e s, r oc d e a u n pie; cl he by W i a l t ess erm rs na ll 's . and T m .

Jeffery - square, and the West of England, were upon the spot. The water from th e ma i ns of t he East London works being very plentifully supplied, copious streams were poured upon the blazing pile, but the fire could not be stopped till the roof fell in. By two o'clock the fire was so far subdued that all danger of its further extension was at an end. The damage to the surrounding property was considerable, and the Royal Oak, with its contents, is entirely destiffed. HUNGERFOR D S USPENSION BRIDGE.— Y ester,day notices were issued by the Directors of this bridge, stating that the opening of it was postponed till the Ist Ma',- . SUICIDE THROUGH BODILY AFFLICTION.—Lest evening Mr. W. Payne held an inquest at St. Bartholomew'. Hospital, on the body of Thomas Abbott, aged fifty-eight, a stone-mason. During the past three months the deceased had suffered much from bodily disease, which had prevented him from following his usual employment. This preyed upon his mind. On Sunday morning last, about half-past three o'clock, on his son entering his bed-room, he found his father sitting on the bed side with a wound in his throe t e which he had inflicted with a razor. lie was removed to the hospital, where he expired on Wednesday last. Verdict, " Temporary insanity." EARLY LUXURIES.—There was a profuse supply of cherries yesterday morning in Covent-garden market. Strawberries, hot-house grapes, pine-apples, and cncumbere, were also abundant. The Hon.

The Caledonian Railway has been recommended by the Board of Trade as the best trunk communication through Scotland, and may ' conliderrly be expected to receive the sanction of Parliament in the present session. The proposed Extensions are as follows—first, from a point on the Caledonian Railway, near Lanark, eastward, along the valley of the Tweed, by Peebles. Galashiels, and Melrose, to Kelso, where it has been arranged with Mr. Hudson that a joint station will be formed with the Newcastle and Berwick Company; and secondly, west , ward, by Muirkirk to Ayr and Kilmarnock. A direct communication, northwards and southwards, by means of the trunk line, will thus be secured to those important districts, the expediency of which has been pointed out by the Board of Trade, for the full development of the Caledonian system. Numerous and influential meetings hare been already held in those important districts, loudly calling for railway accommodation, and offering every facility and support. The Extension to the oast will accommodate the richest agricul tural districts in Scotland with timber, slate, coal, lime, and other minerals, in all which articles they are in themselves wholly desti tute ; while the Western Extension of the Caledonian, as well as the trunk line, intersect tracts of country remarkable for their mineral resources, but requiring a supply of agricultural produce ftom the east, for the immense population engaged in manufactures and mines. When Mr. Telford made a surrey of a line ftom Glasgow to Kelso and Berwick, in 1810, being the first projected railway in Scot land, he reported that "it might be easily and cheaply made," and that "no districts can be better calculated for an interchange of pro duce, and for promoting each other's prosperity." He further re arks that " The whole -distance from Berwick to the water summit being 7714 miles, and the total rise 753 feet (which is considerably higher than the summit now proposed to be passed over), the average inclination is under 10 feet in a mile, or 1 in 528. " Inclinations so very easy over such extensive districts of country will enable the intercourse by means of railway to be carried on in both directions at a comparatively small expense, and it will appear still more perfect when it is considered that the heavy articles of coal and lime are all to be passed downwards." The Western Extension will form the shortest and most direct communication from Edinburgh to Kilmarnock and the seaport towns of Ayr and Troon, and thence to Ireland. The Glasgow, Dumfries and Carlisle scheme, which has been re ported against by the Board of Trade, proposed partially to open up the resources of Ayrshire, but afforded no access from thence to Lanark and Edinburgh, or to Kelso, and Berwick, whilst the Cale donian Extension Railway, in ffilfilment of the anticipations of the Board of Trade, will accomplish all these objects, and at the same time afford an equally good route southwards. COST AND SURVEY. accomplishment of the roTennipo"PaNCTßA, stRAP-4LICLAIr fllfl be about 104 miles ; and, from surveys already made and an estimate given by Mr. Locke, the Committee are assured that the Capital of 1,500,0001. will be sufficient to cover the whole expense. TRAFFIC. The traffic will embrace—lst, on the Eastern portion, the carriage of the whole minerals required for the extensive manufacturing dis tricts around Galashiels, liawick, Melrose, and Selkirk, consisting of timber, slate, coal, lime, lead, and iron, which must be conveyed to them on this Railway ; whilst their vast woollen manufactures, con sisting of tweeds, blanketting, shawls, plaidings, Sce. &c. as well as raw material, must pass in return; and 2d, the conveyance of agricultural produce from the highly-cultivated South-eastern districts of Scotland and Northumberland to the dense population and mining and manufacturing districts of the West. Upon a calculation, based upon Mr. Telford's estimate, it can be shown that, at the present day, a return of upwards of five per cent. may be reckoned upon from those sources alone, after deducting forty per cent. fbr expenses. On the Western portion of the line to Ayr and Kilmarnock, a very large mineral and goods traffic may be relied on, independent of the Eastern Extension. From the very highly-important districts which those lines in tersect, a very large passenger-traffic may be calculated upon, not only of a local, but of a general nature. From these sources the Committee feel themselves justified in cal culating on an ample return for the capital required. The Subscribers' agreement will contain powers to the Provisional Directors to be thereby appointed to fix the precise extent and course of the line, and the position of the termini, as circumstances may render desirable, and powers will be takcu in the Act of Parliament to grant a lease of the works to the Caledonian Railway Company at a rent of four per cent. and one half of the surplus profits.

Duprez is delighting the public again Off the stage of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane; And thousands admire the vo alist's skill, Which calms the house every evening to fill. The surprising effect which he gives to a song Iles met with unequalled success all along. Our reason for mentioning Duprez in print, Is clearly displayed in the following hint : This singer, whose voice can he rivalled by none, Should sing a choice song for E. MOSES and SON. Such extensive commercial achievements as ours Are r uited to such a choice vocalist's powers; What thousands of people would throng Drury-lane, If Duprez were to sing Messrs. MOSES a strain ; And how would the crowding assemblage rejoice, To hear him thus nobly employing his voice. A V•ing such as this might be very soon done. For the words Gould be written by MOSES and SON; And the wonderful singer himself could prepare A touching, a hold, and a suitable air. Such words and such music, with choice adaptation, Would obtain for the singer increasel approbation; And a merited honour would also be done To the trading achievements of MOSES and SON.
