By 1). IL HAY, F R.S.E. " The main points of this treatise are the clear and detailed state ment of the principles on which the author's syrtem is based, and very explicit particulars of its verification by experiment. . . We cannot refuse to entertain Mr. Bay's system as of singular int'nsic xcell.nce. The simplicity of his law and its generality impress themselves more deeply on the conviction with each time of enforce ment. His theory proceeds from the idea, that in Nature every thing is effected by means more pimple than any other that could have been conceived, —an idea certainly consistent with whatever we can trace out or imagine of the ail-wise framing of the universe." —Spectator, Jan. Ist, 1853. " This is a treatise which, in its ingenuity not less than its sub ject, is exquisitely beautiful . . , Briefly, it is here proved that man, the image of his Maker, has, even in his low estate, a frame based on the type of the most perfectly conceivable sym M metry Ha . By founding (if we may so phrase it) this noble theory, r. y has covered his name with distinction, and his laid. the basis, we con ceive, orite ephemeral reputation. By illustratingiciifiesr,lhedugff the medium of this graceful treatise, he has conferred a real boon upon the nommunity, for he has afforded the publ'c another opp,•r tunity of following the golden rule of the poet—by looking through the holy and awful mystery of creation, to the holier and yet more awful mystery of Omnipotence.' —The Sun, March 17, 18 53 .

N.B.—To guard agelnst imitations, see that the names of " EAL and PERRINS" are upon the label and patent cap of the bottle. THE INCOME TAX. SHOULD this portion of the Budget pass, Income Tax must be paid by millions now exempt; yet it will then be useless to "look daggers" at the Tax, though many persons will regard it as a great" bore" for penetrating their pockets and their earnings —a character often given to other articles of daily consumption called Taxes. None needs waste flesh by useless re pinings, for the sacrifice may be easily and pleasantly survived by agreeable retrenchments, in which much is gained and nothing lost; and even if the Tax is paid, an annual gain may be accumulating, which will constitute a respec'able fortune for Individuals and Families. This is one of the advantages derived from business transactions at the Aldgate aid Minories or the New Oxford-street Establishments of E. MOSES and SON, where Attire for Spring and Summer is now ready for inspection, uniting the ski 1 of all countries In the manufacture of materials, and the talent of the best artists in the world in the constiuction of styles for Mess of the most elegant and seasonable de , cription. The Spr.ng and Summer Dress Salts, raletots, and Overcoatt, combine the efforts of the most talented cutters and the best work men in the world; they display a variety of materials and a correct ne s in fit which cannot be found elsewhere. Sporting Dress, Liveries, Military or Naval Costumes, in styles and general adapta tion excelling all others. Juventlie Attire in magnitude of fabrics and diversity of pattern., all dis inctly prepared tor this season, with skill, care, and experien - e, which remains unimitated. Hats, Caps, Hosiery, Boots and Shoe - 4 &c., &e., &c., in variety and superior quality, aro presented by E. MOSES and SON at prices so much less than those charged elsewhere, that any description of tax may be paid, without any inconvenience, from advantages arising from pur chases made at the Establishments of E. MOSES and SON. TO EMIGRANTS. The opinion of the most experienced Colonists is that none should emigrate without a suitable Outfit ; if they do, they will become im patient at the loss of their customary comforts, and on that account may be unsuccessful and unhappy. The best and the most suitable Outfits are purchated for less money at E. MOSES end SON'S than at any other Establishment. The Goods are only such as are indis pensable, yet they arc all which will be required; the Clothing is every way suitable for the voyage, climate of the country, and the occupations of Emigrants. A separate Department is kept for Out fitting, and the lowest prices charged for every article. Merchants, captain, and others, should visit the Wholesale Department of E. MOSES and SON'S Establishment, where they may purchase Goods from which they will derive an amazing profit. Shipsailing information, and full Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen, may be bad on application, or post free to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public againdimposition,hating learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for oterlous reesens, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANT OTHER HOUSE IN ON. OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157. Minories, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

Merchant Tailors, Clothiers, Hatters, Hosiers, Furriers, Boot and Shoe Makers, and General Outfitters for Ladies and Gentlemen. IMPORTANT —Should any article not give satisfaction, it will be exchanged if desired, or, if preferred, the money will be returned without hesitation. All goods are marked in plain figures, the lowest price, from which no abatement can be made. The Establishments are closed from sunset Friday to sunset on Saturdays, when business is resumed till 12 o'clock.

Aqua se habla Espanol MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University 01 Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. XI AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on / Y ill the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miset les and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rev arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 1/., and advice and medicines can he forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF-PRESERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage, and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses. The perusal of this treatise will assist in the correct description of their cases, and may be had, price 2s 6d, in English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs. Piper Brothers and Co., 23, Paternoster-row; Hannay, 63, Oxford-street; iMann, 39, Cornhill ; Stolle, Titchborne-street, Haymarket ; or free by post for forty-two stamps, to any addres3 from the Author's resi dence. 37, BEDFOND-NQUAItE.

THE LATE BOARD OF ADMIRALTY. Yesterday, on the re-assembling of the committee, Lord Seymour (chairman), Lord Hotham, Sir B. Hall, - Sir F. Davie, and Mr. Beckett, The Chairman, in reply to Hon. Mt. Talbot—who re peated the statement contained in the letter we pub lished yesterday, that, unless the committee were Tir fectly satisfied that Lord Derby brought no undue in fluence to bear on Mr. Stafford with reference to the lockyard appointments, his lordship wished to be called to give - evidence before the committee—said the com mittee were not in a position to give a reply to the ap plication at present. • The Chairman said he had understood from Sir Bald win Walker that he wished from personal reasons to read a letterewith reference to what bad passed between himself and Admiral Parker before the committee. Sir Baldwin Walker then read the foilowing:letter : " Admiralty, May 2, 1853. "My dear Walker—l regret I wades mistake about your making use of my three letters. I w as no t awa re when I said before tbe committee that I had only given you per mission to make use of one letter, that the three letters were all on the subject of the mas t er smith. You are therefore perfectly at liberty to make use of the three be . - fore the committee,—Yours very sincerely, " HYDE PARKER." Sir Baldwin Walker—l also wiskto ask Mr. Stafford's permission to read a letter he addressed to me on the 28th' of Noveniber. Mr. Stafford"having intimated hiiacquiescenee, Sir B. Walker read the document as follows : (Private and confidential,) " Admiralty., Nov. 28. " Dear Sir Baldwin—As no official answer has arrived to the letter you received from the board on Friday last, on the subject of your communication of that date, I send youthis unofficial note, which I trust you will read in the same friendly spirit as actuates its writer. Admiral Berkeley has given me notice of a motion on the subject of your corres pondence, with the Board of Admiralty, and he may to morrow raise in the House of Commons the question of its existence. I cannot, therefore, let ausithar board day pass without another official - letter to you oefrbili you. " But if you will call hero before the board meets, i. c., before half-past eleven o'clock to-morrow, I think I can point out a course of proceeding which may be adopted without the least annoyance to yourself or to any one else. " We cannot, of- course, control the proceedings of our political opponents • but it is also absolutely necessary that the several departments of this important establish ment should at once be brought into harmony with each other., "My only objects aro to carry out the instructions of my Government, and to avoid as much as possible giving pain to any one. I shall be glad to see you any time after nine o'clock.—Truly yours, "AUG. STAFFORD. " Sir Baldwin Walker, &c." The Chairman then said it was his intention to move in the house that there be laid before the committee re turns of the appointments and promotions that took place in the several dockyards during 1852, specifying when such appointments and promotions were made, and in every case, where practicable, specifying on whose recommendation. Captain Duneombe suggested that, in fairness, the return might be extended as far back as 1847. Mr. Cotsell was then recalled, and requested to pro duce the letter he alluded to in his evidence given yes-: terday, addressed to him by Thomas Collings. He said, the Surveyor of the Navy led him to believe that his desire to be removed to Portsmouth had been favour ably entertained, and Thomas Collings, in the Account ant-General's department, wrote to him a series of letters on that and on general subjects, leading him to believe it. From 1846 he had communications with Collings on the matter. The witness went into a narration of this, and then produced the following letter :-- (Strictly confidential.) " Admiralty, Somerset-house, April 13, 1852. "My dear Cotsell,—l have resumed my duties to-day, after having been confined several days at home with in flamed eyes. I cannot write much, but, knowing your anxiety, will not .omit to inform you what I have heard since my return here. " Your letter applying for the change was received here last Wednesday, and Sir B. Walker very considerately di rected it should stand over until Mr. Tyler's papers came from Portsmouth. They were received only yesterday, now, therefore, the case is complete. You will be gratified to know that Sir Baldwin has received a letter from Mr. Fincham, applying for you in very earnest terms, and all I can tell you more is that, up to the present time, no obstacle has presented itself to your request being complied with. The Surveyor himself is very desirous of doing it, and as it will not interfere with patronage of any kind, he does not foresee any objection on the part of those in power. On the whole, the matter is surely in as fair a train as it possibly can be, and albeit I am not unmindful of the adage about the cup and the lip, I sincerely hope that I may before long have to congratulate you as Master Vulcan of Portsmouth dockyard. "My wife and bairns are all well, and hoping you are , the same, " I remain, yours most faithfully, " Mos. COLLINGS." The evidence adduced during the day had relation almost exclusively to the case of Wells, and to the sys tem of patronage and promotion adopted in the different dockyards, and which mainly formed the material of evidence adduced on previous days. Sir Baldwin Walker was further questioned by the committee on a variety, of pointe, and stated that the report of the Admiralty committee of revision of 184 k was not published. but that no doubt a copy of it might be had at the Admiralty. It was a rule with the Ad miralty seldom to promote an officer in the same ship, but generally to another. Mr. Hamadros, clerk in the Admiralty, deposed, from the entry-book in his departmert, that Joseph Ridgway was appointed acting first-class leading man in the metal mills at Chatham, on the sth of April, 1852, having been then advanced from the second class. The papers con- netted with the appointments were missing. - - Mr. Barrow, of the Admiralty Record-office, deposed that sometimes letters and documents did not go into that department at all. Mr. John Briggs, 27 years reader to the Board of Ad miralty, deposed with great preciseness and importance to the duties that devolved on him in his department. Two lords of the Admiralty and the secretary were sutli cient to form a board ; but it would be, probably, what • was called a " secret " board. His duty was to open all the dispatches sent to the Admiralty. They were opened either by the secretary or by him in the presence of the secretary. He marked the papers and distributed them —asking the lords if they approved of them. He made the selection of the most important papers, and read all the letters to the secretary and the lords. He took the sense of the First Lord on various subjects, as well as the opinions of the other lords, and the secretary entered it in a short minute. He did not know how often a se oret board was held. All the most important proceed ings would be known both to himself and the head of the secret department, whether it was a message from the Foreign-office, the Queen's command, or an order for the distribution of the fleet. When there was any se cret document, it would be put under a sealed cover with " secret " endorsed upon it. Was present at the board meeting of September, 1849, and remembered the circu lar being brought before the board. Witness was very glad of the arrangement which directed that all letters for promotions should go to the Surveyor of the Navy in the first instance, as it diminished witness's labours ; but subsequently, owing to the cancelling of the circular, they were sent to the secretary, and opened by witness. Witness's opinion was, that the old system of sending first to the surveyor was the more desirable one, and that it would have been better, for that and other reasons, not to have cancelled the circular of 1849. He thought it occupied the secretary's time. which might be devoted to more important matters. When the matter of the resig nation of the surveyor of the navy was mentioned, witness did not pay much attention to it ; it was so common a thing for naval officers to talk of retiring. Had been desired to leave the board-room when some matters were discussed, but it had not occurred for many years. After reading all that was proper he might have withdrawn, and then their lordships might discuss matters among themselves. Remembered the occasion of Sir Baldwin Walker, the surveyor of the navy, being at the Admi ralty on the subject of his letter of resignation. "On my entering the room," said the witness , " the Surve y or of the Navy appeared to be labouring under great agita tion of mind, as if something very unpleasant had oc curred. I heard some words and was about to retire, thinking something had taken place. The Surveyor was standing at the table, folding up his papers, and I heard him say these words, 'Very well, sir, I will go to Somer set-house, and return by and by. Seeing that he was very much agitated, r said to Mr. Stafford, ' I hope the Surveyor has not resigned.' Ile said, `No, he resign ed.' I said, ' What do you mean ?' Then Mr. Stafford said, `The Surveyor of the Navy has been to the Duke of Northumberland, and the Duke of Northumberland informed him that he had never seen his resignation, and that if he had seen his letter of• r esignation he should immediately have taken it to Lord Derby ; that the Sur veyor had been to Admiral Parker, who had told him that he had not thought fit to bring his letter before the Navy sot only comes comes board, bi at that he had destroyed it.' Mr. Stafford also made use of these words, 'ln fine, cuffed by the Duke, snubbed by Admiral Parker, with his letter of resigna tion is. the fire, the Surveyor of , the to me and recites this in his own proper person, but asks b a e m g o a s n t dam entree al e t m y a o n u , me what 'ho had better do.'

The members of the new medical board, to which we referred yesterday, are, we understand, to be Sir John Richardson, Sir John Liddle, and Dr. Bryson. We believe that this change in the medical department was originally propounded by the late Board of Adm4ralty, and as Cap tain Milne has been a member of the late, preceding, and present boards, the alteration has been favourably consi dered. We do not yet know the exact position to be oc cupied by the respected director general of the medical de partment, Sir William Burnett. We are, however, qu4o satisfied that the services of this useful public servant will not be neglected nor slighted. PORTSMOUTH, MAY 3. A court-martial was held to-day on board the Victory, to try Eugene Egan, a seaman of the Agamemnon, for ab senting himself without leave from a boat belonging to that ship, while on duty at Haslar Hospital, on the of March, with intent to desert. Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8., of the Agamemnon, prosecuted for the Admiralty. The charge was fully proved, and, as he was a naval appren tice, he was sentenced to be imprisoned for 10 calender months in Winchester gaol. The Conflict advance screw-sloop having shipped a Boomerang propeller, steamed out of the basin this morn ing, ready to make another trial of her speed to-morrow, and at which a number of naval and scientific men are expected to be present. The Cygnet sloop, Captain R. White, sailed from Spit head last evening for Plymouth, to be paid off. The Encounter, screw-frigate, came into harbour this morning to be supplied with new boilers. The Agamemnon, 91, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, got up her steam this afternoon and proceeded to Stoke's Bay to test her speed by the measured mile. The trial lasted between two and three hours, and was highly satisfactory. Additional hands have to-day been put on the Princess Royal, 90, screw steam-ship, building in this yard, in order to expedite her so that she may be launched next month. It is understood to be her Majesty's wish that the launch of this fine vessel should take place at a time when she may be able to witness it. The Duke of Wellington, 131 (screw), Captain Henry Byam Martin, has the ordnance lighters alongside, and is receiving her heavy armament therefrom ; her main-deck guns were mounted to-day. PLYMOUTH, MAY 3. Her Majesty's screw steam-sloop Argus, Commander Purvis, sailed last evening for Halifax and the West Indies. The Avon steam-tender, Master-Commander Voitcb, sailed yesterday for Falmouth, to bring the detachment of infantry stationed at Pendennis Castle, to this garrison to join head quarters. They will be replaced by a (letachment of artillery from Woolwich, which will be taken there by the Duke of Cornwall merchant steamer. WOOLWICH, MAY 3. APPOINTMENTS.

During 4852 there were several rumours to the effect that Sir B. Walker was going to resign. Witness used to sit in the same room with Mr. Stafford, and the papers that passed through Mr. Stafford's hands also passed through wit ness's. Saw the circular of the 26th April, but could not say it came to him after it had passed the board. Papers relating to appointments and promotions gene rally came through his hands. Witness here entered into explanations with reference to the system of appointments and promotions at Devonport. It was the usual course, after papers had gone through the legal department, where the appointments were made out, for them to be sent back to the Surveyor of the Navy. The circular of cancelment was not looked upon as an impor tant one at the time it was issued, Could not say whe ther it was ever submitted to the Lords of the Admiralty. He meant to say the Secretary of the Admiralty did not look - upon it as an important circular, and -that he, as private secretary, did not. Mr. Stafford was then called - and examined at great length on the case of Wells. This examination," which was one of great detail, chiefly went to attempt to esta blish the statement that Wells never had any appoint ment, in consequence of its not having been properly made out and signed, although Wells was recommended by the submission of the Surveyor of the Navy. The appointment not having been properly made, would not consequently be found in the Record-department. He admitted having seen the submission of Ihe Surveyor of the Navy, recommending Wells, on his I-eturn from the Mediterranean at the latter end of September, and that it was signed in the usual way by Admiral Parker, which would convey to him- the impression that Admiral Parker had approved of it. The date of the appoint ment of Cotsell was the Ist of October, and, on seeing the document appointing Wells on the 26th of Septem ber, he told Admiral Parker it was his great wish to appoint Cotsell to Portsmouth. He did not go to Ad= miral Parker's room on the subject, but after the board met him. Witness said there would be a difficulty, but Admiral Parker expressed a strong opinion in favour - of Wells. Admiral Parker, in his evidence, says—" I remonstrated with Mr. Stafford before I left town on the appointment of Costeli to Portsmouth," but it was a re monstrance before the appointment was made. He was aware that Admiral Parker had been superintendent of dockyards at Portsmouth, and could not, therefore, say the admiral was an incompetent person to give an opinion. According to the circular of 1847, the opinion of such persons would have great weight, more particu larly on subsequently becoming a lord. Witness be lieved he named Admiral Parker's remonstrance to the First Lord, but to the best of his memory the, First Lord gave no opinion on the subject. It appeared that Admiral Parker not only remonstrated with witness but with the head of the board by letter, according to the evidence. Thought Admiral Parker wrote the First Lord when he was absent on leave. Had no recollection of bringing the matter to the notice of the First Lord before the appoint ment took place, but thought he consulted two other members of the board as to Cotsell's appointment. They were Captain Buncombe and. Sir T. Herbert, and their names were to the warrant. Knew it was against the opinion of Admiral Parker, by his signing the submission of the 9th of September, but he did not know that he mentioned the remonstrance to the board. Witness con sidered Cotsell the best man, and did not consult Com modore Eden at all. Endeavoured to ascertain the opinion of the superintendents, but did not communicate with any to obtain their opinion in writing. If he found that Wells had got the appointment, or the letter adopt ing the appointment, nothing on earth would have induced him to disturb it. He considered that all sub missions and recommendations for promotion signed by , Captain Hamilton were either irregularly or inadver tently so signed, and that Admiral Parker went out of his province in signing or initiating the admission of Wells, for be considered all this sort of patronage in dockyard appointments was the secretary's, because the Duke of Northumberland had given him almost all of them. The , principal appointments commonly belong to the First Lord ; but the inferior ones to the secretary. The letter he wrote to Wells, dated 18th October, 1852, explained this. It was as followsl-- " Admiralty, October 18, 1852. " Sir,—l have 'received your memorial without date; and I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty to acquaint you that they are not aware that you have received any appointment from them, and that their lordships do not consider you justified in designating your self ' late master smith of her Majesty's Dockyard at Ports mouth ;' they therefore return your memorial. If, how ever, from any communication with any of the officers of the several departments, you have been led to expect such an appointment, their lordships are prepared to give their consideration to any memorial from you on that subject ; but my lords cannot, recognise you as a late master smith of Portsmouth Dockyard, as no warrant has been given to ,'you by their lordships for such an appointment." He had been in the habit of asking who were the best men in the service, and had heard Cotsell's name always favourably mentioned. He gave to Cotsell the " stereo typed" answer given to all persons, that their " applica, tion should hays the best consideration." This meant very little. When Cotsell made his request he considered that it was one that ought to be granted. Did not bring Wells' memorial before any of the Lords of the Admi ralty before answering it, though he had heard of its having been said by Admiral Parker that either "he or I would leave the - Admiralty." Thought the Duke of Northumberland looked to making peace and mediating between Admiral Parker and himself. He had already stated that he was ready to take the resonsibility of the documents not appearing in the records department, and never knew the papers were lost until some months after he left the office. The Admiralty not having Wells' address, it was not on that account sent him. Had I (continued Mr. Stafford) had further experience in office, I should have looked more closely to the original circu lar, and have consulted others on the subject before I cancelled it ; and with my present experience I never should have cancelled it without laying it before the board. I have no hesitation in saying I think it was a hasty step. - I was young in office at the' time, and I did not attach the importance to it that I now do. I think Sir Frederick - Smith had recommended Cotsell to my notice. Captain Richards, captain superintendent of Chatham Dockyard, was then examined at considerable length. He stated that he was appointed by Sir Francis Baring, on the understanding that he was not to meddle in politics,— He considered the operation of the circular of 1849 very beneficial to the service, and that reversing it was prejudicial to it, and without his approval ; and read the following letters in the course of his examination : (Copy of a note from Sir Francis Baring, Bart., to Captain Richards.) " Admiralty, July 2, 1£49. " Dear Sir, —Captain Eden will write you a letter re specting an application which I have had from one of your people. I should like to know the man's character in the yard, as his application is most improper and I must take m easures to put an end to these proceedings, which aro worse at Chatham, I think, than anywhere else.—Yours truly, " F. BARING. " This inquiry is not intended to be confidential ; on the contrary, though not a letter by direction of the board, it is well it should be known in the yard, that notice has been taken of the memorial." (Copy of a note from Captain Charles Eden, Private Secre tary to Sir F. Baring, to Captain Richards.) Admiralty ' July 2. "Dear Richards,—l am desired by Sir F. Baring to forward to you the accompanying letter from Joseph Ridgway.

CITY TERMINOS-DEPUTATION TO LORD PALMERSTON. On Monday afternoon a very numerous and most influ ential deputation from the citizens of London and the me tropolitan districts waited, by special appointment, on the Home Secretary, at his office, to solicit his support, and the active co-operation of the Government, in carrying - out the projected City improvements at Farringdon-street and Holborn-valley, in connexion with the proposed City rail way terminus, as designed by Charles Pearson, Esq., City Solicitor. The deputation included members of the firms of Fisher and Robinson ; Morrison Dillon, and Co. ; Brad bury, Greatorex, and Co. ; J. and C. Boyd and Co. ; and many other of the great wholesale houses. The deputation •was attended by the members for the City (not in office), and several of the metropolitan representatives ; also by the late Postmaster-General, Lord Clanricarde, and by se veral clergymen and medical men, who take an interest in the sanitary improvement of the metropolis, and in ame liorating the condition of the poor. R. CURRIE, Esq., M.P., ,having briefly introduced the deputation, thus stated their object :—My Lord, a royal commission acting under the instructions of the Secretary of State for the Home Department in 1846, reported that railways ought not to bo admitted into the City, except in combination with extensive street improvements, to be effected at the joint cost of the railway company and the localities to be •benefitted by them, and to be executed with the approval and under tho supervision of a. department of Government and the Corporation of London. Mr. Charles Pearson's grand project of constructing a trunk railway in connexion with the removal of the acclivities of Holborn and Snow-hills, has been approved by the Corporation, and re quires only the concurrence of the Secretary of State, sub ject to a negotiation now pending between the company and the Common Council, as to • the proportion in which the cost of street improvements sheuld be defrayed. The plan proposed isnot a nieasnre of mere city or even metropolitan improVement. It - is an object of national- of universal 'interest ; for it proposes to provide, both by road and rail, a grand arterial orgali of communication between the ter minal stations of the railways and the outlets north of the ThamoP, and the heart's core of the metropolis of the ern-- pire, in which are and have been concentratedlor ages - the greatest public monetary and 'commercial establishments in the world. By the plan proposed 10,000 persons will be ' daily conveyed by this great iron highway, composed of four double lines, to stations in Farringdou-street—the widest and least frequented broad street in London—with diverging streets for passim passengers in all directions to • and from the stations without confusion, and without in commoding the ordinary traffic of the streets. Thousands of omnibusses and cabs, which now creep through our • principal thoroughfares, plying between the western and northern outskirts of London, and the great railway sta tions in these directions, will by these means be superseded, and their passsengers will be cheaply and expeditiously conveyed by rail in a well-lighted and well-ventilated subway to within a walking distance of their .places nf destination. Gentlemen attending in this deputation re present 15000 influential and intelligent persons of all classes in the City and its suburbs, who, for various reasons expressed by them, have petitioned in favour of this plan. It has received the support of merchants, bankers, and professional men in groat numbers, because it will diminish the overcrowding of the streets, while it will largely in crease the facility and economy of - railway travelling; by giving to the inhabitants of this vast metropolis the benefit of cheap, frequent, and punctual trains, which the daily travelling of such masses of a migratory population entitles them to expect. The wholesale houses of the City,' who are represented in this deputation by membererof leading firms, support the plan, because it will enable them to got their goods carried with more economy and less delay to and from the groat railways which conduct the - transport of goods.. The retail dealers give the project their support, because, by facilitating and cheapening rail Way carriage for their customers, and by diminishing the overcrowding of the streets, they hope to recover some of the retail trade, which for some years has been passing out of the City, as • obstructions in the thoroughfares have increased. • Philan • thropists and sanitary reformers are represented in this deputation by clergymen, laymen, and medical men, who take a deep interest in the sanitary, social, and moral wel fare of the poor, and who advocate the plan because this - railroad will practically annihilate the distance between the green field; in the suburbs and the pestilent courts and alleys in the centre of this metropolis. By means of an ex traordinary reduction in the charge for railway conveyance, which nothing but extraordinary numbers can warrant, the power of residing out of town will be extended to thou sands of small shopkeepers, clerks, mechanics, artisans, porters, and others employed in the City, who will be enabled to obtain (the price'of daily railway conveyance included), comfortable dwellings, in healthful situations, for less money than they now pay, in pestilent situations, for wretched rooms, unfit for human habitation. The pro jected railway penetrates into the very heart of the City, and through densely-populated portions of the northern suburbs. These districts and the parishes with which the railway will be connected by means of tributary lines, in action and in contemplation, contain a population above half a million, requiring cemetery provision for more - than 10,000 deaths each year. A cheap railroad, with one or More funeral trains daily to a suburban place of interment beyond the metropolitan area, would remove some of the chief diffi culties which have impede(' the execution of the Government plan, by supplying conveyance for both the living and the dead, at a charge below the present cost of walking funerals. This deputation desire thus briefly to bring the main fea tures of this remarkable undertaking under your lordship's notice ; not in its character of a railway project, but in its collateral bearings upon the health, convenience, and phy sical and social improvement of the masses of this great city. They believe that the peculiar energy, the pre-emi nent ability, the indefatigable devotion to the public ser vice, which have long signalised your lordship's career in one of the highest departments of the Government, may now, under Providence, be the means of conferring domestic benefits no less remarkable—no less deservin g the labours of a great statesman—on mil)ions of your fellow" countrymen ; and in this point of view, and under these impressions, they respectfully submit this important under taking to your lordship's attention and favourable con sideration. Mr. LOWREY (Holyland, Rogers, Lowrey, and Co.) said that the leading commercial houses of the city of London usually abstained from taking part in the local affairs of the city, but upon a subject so deeply affecting the trade of the city, they felt it was their duty to step out of their usual course, and to press upon her Majesty's Government the importance of giving its support to the measure. The city of London contained upwards of twenty thousand parliamentary constituents, and less than six thousand municipal electors. It was, therefore, not surprising of the that they should appeal to the Government, as the local interests of the inhabitants, and particularly large commercial houses, were not adequately represented es. in the councils of the coporation. By the free trade m sures of their present commercial system the manufacturesnswere of foreign countries in cottons, linens, mercantile which had been largely to increase the general f admitted into this country; the immednianted business of the city, whore the of all foreign eo wo n o se( e iuAce of production own country.

The retail shopkeeper partici pated in this increase of trade, and the mbeerlicehvaenatsgrthanoawtd: y particular locality as had wholesale and retail trades concurred in believing the pre sentiant would make a project to be admirably calculated to meet the broad line of western and eastern sides ing wants of all classes of citizens.

The evils which had been so faithfully depicted by preceding speakers were necessarily on tho increase, and as upWards of one thensand houses were in progress of re moval .in Fleet Valley, it became necessary that no time should be lost , in securing to the public tlae benfits of the project. Mr. BAn,IIER (Barber, Mead, and Howse), said that Lon doe,though• the greatest co mmerciel city in the world, was ',destitute •of conveniences which were enjoyed in other Birmingham a,nd. ether large manufacturing towns, had rail Way stations in the centre of-their business. The itaeomplisliment of the preeent measure would place Lon don upon a level in this particular with other towns. . 11.4Lysaia the object of the. deputation was not to ask money from the- Government, but to urge them to carry out the principle of the commissioners' report. The railway proprietors must look after their railwaythem selves, but the report required the Government to watch ever the public interests, and- the duty therefore - rested with the public authorities to support ft - project which would effect .such a great • public improvement. . Mr. BUCKMATER, late chairman of the West London Board of Guardians, said that the clergy and parochial offs eers were all favourable to the plan on account of the im portant benefits it would confer on the poor. The Rev. Mr: JACKSON, being the incumbent of the parish of St. Sepulchre, would be glad to see the project adopted on sanitary grounds alone, for he had nothing to do with its commercial features. - Ho felt sure it would be the means of improving the wretched dwellings in which the poor were compelled to live ; it ,would give facilities for obtaining better habitations five or six miles from town, where their families might reside in comfort and health. Mr. HOWELL (of the firm of Ellis and Everington) de sired to impress upon his lordship the importance of giving immediate attention to the subject, for all the causes of complaint were growing causes, and 20 years hence the evils would be very much. worse, There was now an op portunity of grappling with. the difficulty at a compara tively small outlay by reason of the great extent of ground already laid open, which, if built upon, would not again be rendered available, except at an enormous cost. If the budget passed, the omnibuses and cabs would be so cheaply.kept, .that the City would be deluged with them to a still .more inconvenient degree, unless better means of conveyance were afforded by substituting cheap, prac tical, and expeditious railway trains. Mr. WALKER (of the firm of I. and C. Boyd and Co.) entirely cone - fund with preceding speakers as to the great benefit this measure would confer upon both the whole sale and retail traders of the City, by diminishing the crowding of the streets, mid facilitating the means of transit for both passengers and goods. But he desired to direct the attention of Government to the important bene fit the country would derive from the improved postal arrangements which - a -central terminus, in direct eommu- • nication with the Post-office, would afford: Mr. SIMON, the officer of health to the. city of London, said that great improvements --had been made in the.sani tary condition of the city by improved drainage and water supply, but he felt conyinced that by cheapening railway 'conveyance for the labouring classes between the outskirts and the centre of the metropolis, more would be done to effectuate the wise and benevolent designs of the Govern ment and Other public authorities in improving the moral and sanitary condition of the poor than by any other mea sure that could be devised.- -The district which it was pro lased to clear was the worst in London, and very many of • thehouses to be removed were unfit for human habitation. 'LordPALMERSTON said that, prompted as well by personal fooling as by a sense of official duty, he should be happy to do all in his power to promote any measure having for its object so many advantages as had been suggested to him by the respectable and influential gentlemen who had addressed him. Every person who had occasion to go into the City knew that it required almost as much time to pass through ono- mile of its crowded streets as to travel thirty miles by rail. It had been truly said, that the overcrowding of the streets was daily increasing, and he might add that it was fortunate that it was so ; for the causes of that incon venience must be looked for in the increasing trade of the City, the enlargement of the metropolis, and the growing prosperity of the country. In a measure like that under consideration there might be parties who opposed it. He was not aware of any ; but reservingto himself a discretion to consider any fair objection that might be brought for ward, he ave the matter his most willing consideration; and, as far as he was at present informed, it was deserving the support of Government. The details, of course, fell within - other departments. The railway portion of the measure would: devolve.upoathe Board of Trade for con sideration,. and the proposed street improvements would be inquired into by the Officuof Works ; but he regarded the prqoct as a whole to be: highly deserving all the sup . - port . that the Government . and Parliament could fairly give it. . . THE CONSERVATIVE :LAND SocirrY.--:-A deputation from the executive committee paid a second visit to Yorkshire last week, to explain the objects of the society. It consisted of the Rev. Dr. Worthington, R. N. Fowler, Esq. (of the firm of Dimsdale and C a Bankers), C. E. Lewis, Esq., L. S. Gorman, Esq., andG. Morgan, Esq. A public meeting was held at the de Gray Rooms, York, on Wedneiday, when a very full explanation and satis factory account of the rapid progress of the society were given by the various speakers. It was announced that the deputation had viewed land in the neighbourhood of YOrk that day, and they might eventually purchase it for . the members. A meeting was held at the Odd-Fel lows Hall, Halifax on the following day, over which George Haigh, Esq., of Halifax presided. Several interesting speeches were delivered on the occasion. Mr. R. N. Fowler, in the course of an able address in ex planation of the principles and plan of the society, said it was not their intention to disguise the fact that this was a Conservative Society, and that their object was to further Conservative principles. If stronger efforts on the part of the Conservatives were not made, ere long all the county constituencies would be in the hands of their opponents. Considered as a commercial scheme, it. was based on the same principles as other societies founded by their opponents. It afforded to every man the means of obtaining a small portion of land, without the great difficulties which had hitherto attended the purchase of small allotments. Hitherto an investment to the amount of 50 1 . required. as much legal acumen as one to the amount of 5,00 01. This had been a great impedimen t to the land being divided into small portions amongst the working men of this country. But it was very desirable that it should be so divided, because the working man who invested his savings in land felt an interest in the stability of his c ountry that nothing else woul d g ive.
