TO LADIES.—The high and universal celebrity which ROWLAND'S KALYDOR continues to maintain as an active, yet mild and soothing extirpator of all impurities of the Skin, is, during the period of Spring, most pleasingly evinced. This pre, aration, eminently balsamic, restorative, and invigorating. is equally distinguished for safety in application, as for unfailing effi cacy In eradicating all redness, tan, pimples, spots, frackles, discolo ration, and other cutaneous visitations. The radient bloom it im parts to the cheek, and the softness and delicacy which it induces on the hands and arms, render it Indispensable to every toilet. To ladies during the period o. nursi g, and as a wash for infants, it cannot be too strongly recommended. Gextlemen, after shaving, will find it allay all irritation and tenderness of the skin, and render it soft, smooth, and pleasant. Its purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and the several Courts of Europe. * l ,* Beware of spurious " KALYDORS" for sale, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the Complexion, sad by their repellent action endangering health.

Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of its salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy action of the liver, bowels, and kidneys will rapidly take place ; and instead of listlessness, heat, pain, and jaun diced appearance, strength, activity, and renewe I health will be the quick result of taking this medicine, according to the directions ac companying each box.

"My Lord,—lt is with a pain the intensity of which. a aidst such apparent ingratitude, your Lordship will not really imagine possible that in writing to express my deep sense of your kindness in consenting to aid the work at 1/2vonpoit, I have now to re quest the with drawal of a name which, noble and honoured as it is, is connected most painfully wi h a decision which fo.• the present brands the Church of England with uncatholic teaching . ." As a' most unworthy, yet faithful daughter of that Church, I have, a 4 your Lordship will perce've, no choice•left me in working for her but to mithdraw from one who has assisted in a judgment which I am b mind to believe jape) contrary to her:fundamental:princi ples as to be fatal tolher unless absolutely rejected. It is useless to multiply words of sorrow. Your Lordship will know and feel that such a letter as the present ought not and could not be written without much grief and embarrassment. Entreating your forgiveness, and praying that all blessing may attend you and yours, I am, your Lordship's humble and grateful servanr, " PRISCILLA LYDIA SELLON, "Ye Mother Supr." "Midland Circuit, Warwick, March 31.1850. " Madam, —Raving a most sincere respect for your piety and benevolence, I would beg you to reconsider your request that my name may be withdrawn from the list of those who are desirous of assisting you in the truly Christian objects to which your life is devoted. I really believe that you misunderstand the judgment to which you 'der, when you consider that it is so dangerous tolthe Church and so discreditable to those who concurred in it. I assure you that we have given no opinion contrary to yours upon the doctrine of baptismal regeneration. We had no jurisdiction to decide any doctrinal question, and we studiously abstained from doing so. We were only called upon to construe the artic'es and formularies of the Church, and to say whether they be so framed as to condemn certain opinions expressed by Mr. Gorham. If we be mistaken in thinking that they are not so framed, you will hardly say that for this mistake ' (which you will charitably believe to be conscientious) we ought to be excluded from communion with orthodox Christians. Recollect that the Archbishop of Canter bury and the Archbishop of York entirely approved of what we did, and that they are as much answerable for it as if they had been members of the court inste id of being only our advisers. Reflect, then, whether it be for the good of the Church, to which you aro so affectionately attached, to pronounce excommunication against all who approve of the decision which you censure. Perhaps you may find that a large majority of the pious sons and daughters of the Church of England think that the decision is sound, and that it may heal the wounds from which she has lately suffered. At any rate I do hops that upon re consideration you will still allow me to have the gratifi cation of being upon your committee. If you remain inflexible, I must submit to your determination, but I shall continua to pray that heaven may enli4hten your understanding and further your labours with its choicest blessings.—ll.ave the honour to ba, with the highest respect, Madam, your most obedient faithful servant, " CAMPBELL." "The Orphans' Home, April 8. "My Lord,—l found your let ter on my return from a short absence from home. Need I say that the unex pected kindness of its contents only made me the more bitterly mourn over the unhappy cause which separates me from such a benevolent and noble heart—separates me, as I still hope, only for a time, for how can I be lieve but that your Lordship will in time perceive whet is involved in your decision, and will lament as deeply as any one of us that it should have endangered the Church by the apparent admission of heretical teaching. You tell me that, on the contrary, it will help to heal her wounds. Alas! my Lord, that you should say so. How can it heal her wounds to tell us that her ar• tides admit of a heresy which her creed rejects? I may not believe it, although such words are sanctioned by the two Archbishops. My Lord, Ido not believe it. It would be to question the truth of the Church of England to believe that it were matter of allowed in difference whether an article of the creed were con tradicted or not. It is not being faithful to her to doubt until her own voice condemn her, which may God for bid! But many hearts since the decision do fail. They believe that your decision is just; they do not believe that the Church of England is a witness to and a holder of the truth of God—they turn from her as not being a light set on a hill which cannot be hid.' Their faith is utterly shaken. I speak from a bitter knowledge of facts. I sea her forsaken by those who have loved Ler. And you, my Lord, do you also believe that the Church of England has bent untrue to herself—that her for mularies a-e so constituted that she contradicts her own belief—that she will not maintain the faith of her creeds —that she will admit priests to teach her children that which has b. en condemned as a heresy ? Forgive me, my Lord, for writing thus to you. How can Ido other wise? It is not that. I forget the difference which God has placed between us —the difference between an exalted and a lowly position—the difference of age, and sex, and station; but all fades away while I recollect the wonder ful kindness of your letter; the noble reactance with which you withdraw the aid which once I should have so joyfully and gratefully accepted; and I cannot but speak to you hi art to heart. I thank you earnestly for your promize of rememhering me in your prayers. lam not worthy to pray fir you; and yet, if the God of all goodness will hear the supplication of a loving and deeply-sorrowing heart, he will bring you to grieve for the injury done to the Church, and will help you to re pair it, and give you all blessing in time and in eternity. " Yours very humbly and aff ctionately, " " P. LYDIA SELLON. " Stratheden-bouse, April 10. - " Madam,—l deeply grieve that (although in very courteous language) you adhere to the stern resolution of excluding me from the gratification of being upon the list of your committee, and of contributing my mite to the excellent charities which you so laudably superin tend. I must confess that you do not seem to me to have made any way in proving that my concurrence in the decision of the Judicial Committee in the Gorham case should disqualify me humbly to assist you i❑ taking care of orphans, in prodding a Christian education for the children of worthless parents, and in mitigating the:physical suff. rings c f our fellow•creatures. I cannot think that I am called upon to answer your observations respecting the merits of the decision or its probable effect upon the Church, or [should easily show that you Le„ the question ant rely by assuming that the doctrine to which you object has been condemned by her articles and formularies as . a heresy, ald I might demonstrate that whether the- decision be wrong or right, it can afford no plausible pretext for leaving the Church, as no reproach can be brought .upon her by a misconstruction of her articles and formularies, and it must be a very slight reproach to her if she has omitted to denounce one false doctrine as beret' cal, con sidering that no Christian Church has professed to settle dogmatically all points of doctrine, and that the Church in which those who complain most bitterly 32C111 dis posed to take r!fuge has studiously left open various questions, considered by th e mem b ers o f th a t Church to be of high import Ince. I have only now to submit to your sentence. Though expelled from your committee and forbidden to have any communion with you in your charitable deeds, I may p rhaps, in parting, be allowed to remind you of the peril you incur by giving way to a religious impulse. • Some of the darkest and most dan gerous pi.« juthces a men,' said Lord Erbkine, ' arise from the most honouralole principles. When prejudices are caught up f om had passions, the worst men feel in tervals of remorse to soften and disperse them; but when they arise from a generous though mistaken source, they are hugged closer to the bosom, and the kindest and most compassionate natures for' a pleasure in fostering a blind and unjust resentment.' If at any time hereafter you should be induced to relent, I sh a ll j o yfully avail myself of the opportunity of again trying to further your benevolent schemes, and in the meantime I have the honour to remain, with the highest respect, Madam your most obedient, faithful servant, " Miss Senora." " CAMPBELL. The Orphans' Home, St. Peter's, Plymouth, April 16. "My Lord,—l am very much surprised and pained to hear that my letters to you have been published. If your Lordship had thought it advisable that any public statement should have been made regarding the subject on which they we:e written, this could easily have been done in another form; but those letters were addressed simply to your own heart, and coming from the fulness of mine, were such as I should not have shown to others. They were a sacred matter b2tween your conscience and I need scarce ly observe, my own, and our God; and ar', singularly unfitt,d for the columns of a newspaper. It is not the first time that I have had caus e to r e monstrate at the way in which my private words have been made public by others; I would, my Lord, that you, and all to whom I write, would recollect that my letters are written only for those to whom they are addressed, and that I claim the courtesy most especially due ton woman in requiring that they should not be p u bli s h e d without my knowleige and permission. I own, my Lord, that I um rather indignant with you, but I am still yours humbly and affectionately, " P. LYDIA, " The Mother Supr. of the Sisters of Mercy." LORDCAMPBELL and the OXFORD CIRCUIT.

The existing condition of education offering no bar to the promulgation of non-religious views, we are threatened with the danger of any attempt to improve that condition ! We gave proof last wed: of our disposition to in sist upon a fair trial for every scheme of education that has any sort of tendency to lift us out cf our present state. We are for receiving good from. every quarter, for rejecting it in none. As we con demn the grudging and churlish criticism of the Privy Council plan, we condemn the unfair treettnent of Mr. Fox's Bill. It is pandering to a gross and unfounded prejudice to call it irreligious. One (f i•s clauses allows time for religious instruction out of the common schools durit'. 4 g the week, as well as on the Sunday, and it would be easy to strengthen this provision by requiring certificates of attend ance on the respective religious instructors at the times so appointed. In his - temperate and judicious speech supporting the 1311', Mr. Mitnes referred to the great public schools, and asked what pioportion the religious part of instruction in these pieces bore to the secular part. We shduld like to have an authoritative answer to this question; for we suspect the truth to be that much more satisfactory provision even for religious training is made in the Bill under discussion—infidel as it is called—than in any of those orthodox establishments. Oa this and other grounds we deny the infidel imputations alto gether. The provisions of the measure thus slan dered are no other than precisely those repeatedly recommended by one of the most religious of men, Dr. Chalmers, providing in the only possible way for the . efficiay 'Of religious teadaing, by giving free scope to the efforts of every 'religious sect. We anfesi that its rejection will shake our confi dence not a little in the future progress of the Govern ment plan. If the Church argument is good so far, Dr.Phillpotts and Mr. Denison have only to double their exertions to make it good throughout. If the State says that only the congregations of schools and chapels in particular localities or with particular means shall be educated, and the rest of the people. shall not be allowed even the opportunity or means to educate themselves, the end of the Church wedge has entered sufficiently to admit the rest of it sooner or later. Our only hope now is in the growing attention excited to the subject, and in such meetings as have lately been held in places so important as Manchester and Leeds. The more discussion there is, the more it will be made obvious that knowledge and religion can have no separate or exclusive interests. The know ledge which indisposes a man to religion is as likely to be false knowledge as the religion which indis poses a man to knowledge is certainly a false religion. Each strengthens and elevates the other, nor can pro gress be made in either without advantage to both. Some part of the opposition to • Mr. Fox's Bill is founded on a misconception of this truth, and the rest on a dread of admitting it.—Examiner. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

It is gratifying to observe that the return for the week ending last Siturday exhibits a further decrease in the mortality. During the two previous weeks th e deaths registered in the metropolitan districts werein succession, 1,124 and 893; they have now declined to 866. In the corresponding week of 10 previous years (1840-9) the average number was 937, which being raised in the ratio of probable increase of popu lation becomes 1,022 ; compared with which the num ber now returned shows a decrease of 156. In the same week of last year, before cholera became predo minant, the de aths were 1,089 ; the mean temperature, w hich:was then unusually depressed, was lower than in last week by 12 deg. Last week the deaths of nine children and two adults were registered from smallpox (of which three occurred in the Smallpox Hospital, Camden-town), indicating rather an increase in the disease though it has not not yet quite attained the aver age ; 17 children died of measles, which is exactly the average; 37 died of hooping cough, and 18 chil dren and one a d u lt of scarlatina, both complaints being less fatal than usual; 8 children died of croup, about the usual number ; 35 persons died of typhus, and 8 of erysipelas, both of which are near the average. Ten women died after childbirth, to 7 of whom " pu erperal fever" is assigned as the cause of death ; 22 persons, of whom about half were chilien, died of diarrhcea and dysentery ; this number is double the average, and also exhibits an increase on each of the three weeks immediately preceding. A woman died of " purpura hmmorrhagica ;" and again, two persons of chorea. The two cases in which the latter disease, so seldom fatal, occurred, are thus recorded—" At 8 , Jeff's-place, St. John, Mary lebone, on the 13th April, the daughter of a coachmaker, aged 16 years, " chorea;' on the 17th April, at the London Hospital, to which she had been brought from Stepney, .a female servant, aged 19, died of "chorea." It is worthy of remark that nine deaths have been regis tered in London from this cause during the last 10 weeks, which is nearly double the number that usually occur in a year. Amongst diseas es of the respiratory organs pneumonia and asthma no w show a decrease ; i bronchitis has also declined, f compared with th e amount of corresponding weeks in the last three ye ars , but is still in excess, in comparison with the mortality of the seven previous years.

The following is the report of the Board of Inland R!venue to the Chancellor of 014: Exchequer, on the pro bable effect on the stamp revenue, by the Bill now before the House of Commons : Inland Revenue, Somerset House, April 18, 1850. Sir,—ln pursuance of our instructions, we beg to lay before you our opinion of the probable effects on the stamp revenue which will be produced by the Bill now before the House of Commons. It will be in your recollection that when, towards the close of last year we received directions to prepare a new Stamp Bill, so far as regards the duties on bonds, conveyances, mortgages, leases, and settle ments, we stated that it would be very difficult to calculate the amount of revenue which would be lost or gained by an alteration in the present scale of stamp duties ; because a stamp for a given amount will serve for several descriptions of deeds liable to duty ; and when a party purchases a stamp he is not required to state for what description of instrument it is intended. For example, a 1/. stamp may be used on an appraisement, apprentice indenture, bargain and sale, money bond, annuity bond, conveyance, lease, mortgage, power of attorney, warrant of attor ney, or progressive duty ; and so with the other ad valorem stamp duties up to 251., beyond which amount almost all ad valorem stamps are used for conveyance. The total produce of duty paid for stamps of amounts which might he used for bonds, mortgages, and conveyances, as well as for some other instru ments in last year, was 1,380,0001. From the best estimate that can be made by the most exp , rieneed officers of the stamp department, 1,000,0001. of this amount may be taken as the produce of ad valorem duties, of which it is supposed that about two-thirds arise from conveyances and transfers of property. Assuming this estimate to be correct, it will be seen by the annexed table, which was submitted to you in December last, that by the then proposed reduction of duty on conveyances, from the present rates to a rate of 10s. per cent, up to 5001., of 15s. per cent. be tween 5001. and 1,0001., and of a fixed rate of 1 per cent. above that amount, the loss on the conveyance duty alone will not be less than 260,0001. per annum. This loss was estimated, irrespectively of that which would arise from the total repeal of the bargain and sale duty, from the reduced duty on leases, and from the relief which is afforded by a si miler reduction of such stamp duties in Ireland, the whole of which cannot be estimated at less than 40,0001., making with the 260,000/ above-men tioned, a loss of 300,0001. There will, however, be some gain on conveyances above 100,000/ , but these are of such rare occurrence that the gain must be in considerable. The loss on small bonds and mort gages would, it was supposed, be counterbalanced by some gain on large bonds, &T. There was also reason to expect that to some extent an increase of revenue might be derived from an increased number of stamps used in documents hitherto not stamped, but no very large increase could be calculated on from this source, because, although, on reducing duties on articles of consumption, the consumption may be in creased, yet it cannot be supposed that more bonds and mortgages will be made, merely on account of the stamp duty being lower. All that can be expected to Occur is, that more stamps may be used for documents on which hitherto the stamp duty has been evaded. Any such evasion must, for obvious reasons, generally occur on bonds, &c., for small amounts, an as on these the duty is much reduced by the Bill, no very great increase of revenue can be expected from this source. In consequence of the opinion thus expressed, you estimated the loss in your speech on the budget at somewhat less than 300,0001. per annum. In Commit • tee on the Bill, you proposed to reduce the stamp on bonds, &c., from 103. to ss. per cent., but an amend ment was carried reducing the rate from ss. to 25., for one tenth per cent on bonds under 501.; and it is presumed that this decrease in the duties on bonds under 501. will be also extended to all bonds, mort gages, and warrants of attorney of any amount ; thus reducing the duty on this description of instrument, throughout the scale, up to 25,000/. It is well known to all parties conversant with business of this description, that by far the largest number of transactions must be on sumo under this amount, and that nearly the whole revenue is de rived, not from the higher amount of duty on the few large transactions, but from the duty paid on the much greater number of moderate amoun's. It is also to be recollected that, since the introduc- tion of the Bill, relief has been extended to various descriptions of instruments beyond what was originally intended; such as transfers of mortgages, memorials of registration, admittances to copyholds, duplicates of conveyances of fee-farm rents, and leases under 201. a year rent. Taking all these cir cumstances into consideration, we think that the loss arising from the proposed reduction of duty on bonds, mortgaged and warrants of attorney, from the present rates to 2 , . per cent., will am )unt to at least 150,000/. ; which, with the estimated loss by the great reduction of the duty on conveyances, transfers of property, and other instruments above alluded to, cannot safely be taken at less than from 450,000/. to 500,000/. We have, &c., (Signed) JOHN WOOD. JOIIN THORNTON. CHARLE3 PRESSLEY. To the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, &c. OBSTRUCTIONS to KNOWLEDGE. Knowledge has fared ill this week in the House of Commons. Such of it a 3 a portion of the people already have access to, crippled by taxation, is not to be relieved ; and we are threatened with the loss of such means of extending it to the rest of the people, as we had lately some hope of seeing tried. Et large majority has declared against the repeal of taxes af fecting books and newspapers, moved by Mr. Milner Gibson, in a speech of very great ability ; and the same fate is preparing for Mr. Fox's Education Bill. To the result of the former motion we submit as a present necessity; but (the matter less admitting of delay) we cannot so calmly regard a decision aban doning great numbers of the English population to hopeless and incurable ignorance. The peculiarity of Mr. Fox's proposal was, that it meddled with no existing plan by which any modicum of education was already extended to any portion of the people. All that it claimed permission to do was to educate such waifs and strays as neither Church men nor Dissenters could draw within their several folds. Where your efforts stop, was the petition, let mine commence. The reply is that of the dog in the manger. What I cannot do you shall not do. We are grieved to see the religious pretence put forward by statesmen. We call it a pretence, because no man in his senses believes that what at present passes for religious education at Sunday-schools and the like, is deserving of the name of education at all. Does any one think that to put a boy to spell at the Bible or catechism, helps him half as much forward in spelling as it drives him back in religion ? The wearisome substitution of words for realities at that early age is the greatest mistake we commit. We talk of secular education as if it excluded religion, when in fact it is the only discipline that prepares the mind rightly , for religious truth. We speak of it as opposed to re ligion, when it is absolutely the only means of giving practical force and direction to religious principles and duties. But the Church stops the way. At a time when episcopal authority cannot impose or even explain its creed, it is to be allowed to withhold or sanction at its pleasure the multiplication table. We are coming to a dead lock. Judicial authority has just told us that we must tolerate differences of doctrine to save the Church, and legislative authority is about to tell us that we must get rid of all such differences if we would save ourselves. Practically the vote on Mr. Fox's Bill will be a vote for the spiritual destitution of large masses of the people. The amendment will declare substantially that differences of creed must amount to a prohibition against knowledge, and a member of the Roman Catholic Church is not ill chosen to take charge of such an amendment. But Lord Arundel's argument . was rather odd, even as a display of bigotry. He quoted a number of infidel writings in prasenti to give effect to his warning ~-- / % / } ,~ / _ oc~ .~ [PRICE SD. ~~~ .'z t)~ ,f 7/ WHIrrINGTON CLUB. The second anniverssry dinner of this association was yesterday held in the large room of the club house. Charles Lushington, presided on` the occasion. Among the visitors preSent we observed L ird Nugent, M.P., Mr. and Mrs. Lushington, J. Macgregor, Esq., M.P., J. Wyld, Esq., M.P., Francis Mowatt, Esq., Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., Mr. Wilson, jun., M.P., Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Jerrold, Mr. and Mrs. Cowden Clarke, Rev. J. Austin, R ebert Hunt, Esq., Charles Knight, Eq., Mr. and Mrs. Ashurst, J. Auldjo, Esq., The report of the managing committee stated that the progress of the association was most satisfactory, the number of members at present on the books amounting to 1,8.53, including 93 life members. An increase had also taken place in the . number of per sons belonging to the different classes connexion with the association, as well as in the extent of the library. The statements of the receipts and expen diture and of the assets and iisbilittes showed a de crease in the liabilities of about 801. The annual expenses, however, amounted to about 2300/.; and an income of 3,000/., and not less than 2000 anew hers, were necessary, in order to place the institution in a desirable state, and for accumulating a fund for library furniture and other requisites. The committee also c ongratulated the association upon the accession of Lord Brougham to the list of vi ce -pr es id e nts, who s a d , in the kindest manner, offered the institution the use of the elaborate philosophical apparatus with which his Lordship had cond u cted his recent experi ments on light, and had also sketched the diagrams required to illustrat e a lecture on the subject. 1 , he usual loyal and national toasts having been disposed of, The CHAIRMAN proposed " Prosperity to the Whit. tington Club, and Metropolitan Athenaeum," and in doing so referred to the great success of the insti tution, which had triumphantly refuted the calum nies with which the association had to contend in the earlier period of its history. The club stood foremost of all other institutions of a similar cha racter in the country, and combined, more than any other, the advantages of instruction with the bene fits peculiar to institutions of this kind, without re• gard to any political or sectarian opinions, while, by its lectures and classes it provided the means of that mental culture which in too many instances were sadly neglected. The toast was drank with great applause, as were also the other toasts of the evening, among w hi c h were that of " The President,' proposed by Lord Nugent, M.P. ; " The Vice-Presidents," proposed by returning Mr. Wilson, M.P., Douglas Jerrold,. thanks ; " Literature and knight, proposed by Ro- Charlef. knight, Esq., Ro bert Hunt, Esq., responding to the toast ; "Toe Press," and the " Managing Com mittee. The ar rangements of the ev en i ng were ver y credit able to the establishment ; the m us i ca l d e partment was under the direction of Mr. Frank Bodda. A VERY SUPERIOR WHITEWASII. —The following recipe for preparing the celebrated stucco whitewash is used at the President's house, at Washington, and which is distin guished by the name of Whitehouse. Take half a bushel ofgood unslacked lime, slake it with boiling water, covering it during the process to keep in the steers, strain the liquor through a fine sieve or strainer, and add to it a peck of clear salt dis• solved in warm water, three pounds of good size, ground to a thin paste and stirred while boiling hot, a pound of Spanish whiting, and a pound of clean glue which has been previously dissolved by first soaking it well, and then banging it over a slow fire in a small, kettle within a larger one filled with water ; add five gallons of hot water to the whole mixture, stir it well, and let it stand a few days covered from the dust. It should be put on Lolling hot, for which purpose it can be kept in a kettle or a portable furnace. About one pint of thil mixture will cover a square vard upon the outside of the house if properly applied; b-ushes more or less small may be used, according to the neatness of the job required ; it retains -its brilliancy for many veers. There is nothing of the kind can be compared with it, either for inside or outside Any required tinge enn be given to the preparation by the addition of colouring na.itte:.—Furnier's and CoantrYina n ' 3 Calendar, 1850. 1 0 01( her , of )01T.
