On the one hand, by the cheap and convenient modes of travelling, and, on the other, by extraordinary attractions which may gratify every taste, for a jourrey to Fiance or the Continent, or for a trip to (fhobham to see the Encampment. or for an excursion to witness the o p e rations of Nature and Art at a greatSUM d MER ATTIRE from er istance, the first and m ost essential preparatio n is a supply of the ESTABLISHMENT of E. MOSES and SON. Amplification may be dispensed with, since it is universally known that the DRESS made by E. MOSES and SON is far more suitable for the SUMMER SEASON, or for any Season, than the Goods obtained elsewhere. Tho materials arc proof against Sunbeams, Dust, and Showers. The styles are the most celebrated which have been pro duced, and are not only the first links in the chain of fashion, but the most comfortable designs ever introduced, either for juveniles or adults, for sportsmen or for every business, profession, and occupa tion. Elegance, Novelty, Durability, Fashion, and Comfort is com bined with every novel description of ATTIRE, to Measure or Ready made, at the Establishment of E. MOSES and SON. The greatest distinction in Quality and Style, and the same rates of Prices are observed in the HAT and CAP department, in the GENERAL HOSIERY section, and in the Dress Department for Ladies and Children. The most extensive Stock of BOOTS and SHOES, of peerless quality, and every article charged considerably lower prices than at any other Establishment in the world. EMIGRATION TO THE COLONIES. Emigrants will not leave England before they have selected their Outfits, and purchased the Clothing necessary for their voyage and their pursuits in a different climate. The facilities possessed by E. MOSES and SON in Outfitting are, like those of their other branches of business, perfectly unrivalled, both in the quality, suitability, and price of the Goods. It is now well known throughout this country and the Colonies that E. MOSES and SON'S Clothing and Outfits for Emigrants are the cheapest and best investments The gigantic Wholesale De partment offers the greatest advantages to Merchants, Shippers, and Emigrants to all parts of the world. Ship sailing information and full Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gen tlemen, may be bad on appli cation, or post free to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION. —E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having 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 obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANT OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London Cit Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minorles, 83, 84,85, and 86, y Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating. London West-end Branch, 506, 507, 508, New Oxford-street, 1,2, 3, Hart-street, all communicating. Bradford (Yorkshire) Branch, 19 and 20, Bridge-Street. Sheffield Branch, 36, Fargate.

The author lashes with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying on the credulity of the public. The tribe of Quiet Symathisers,' and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from th com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many h mdreds would be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize— much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Spermatorrhoca, and to place the treat upon a more rational and physiological basis.

A special generalmeeting company was held on Thursday, at the Paddington terminus, for the pur pose of submitting to the consideration of the proprie tors the copies of six bills, now pen di ng i n P ar li ament, authorising certain extension s an d a l terat i ons of the works of this company. There was a full room of pro prietors, and a large number of directors present. CHARLES RUSSELL, Esq., the chairman of the com pany, took the chair at half-past one o'clock. After the Secretary had read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said that the meeting had been called for the purpose of obtaining the formal sanction of the proprietors to the bills which the directors had intro duced into Parliament, the advisability of which had been submitted to the proprietors at the half-yearly meeting in February last. The first of these bills re ferred almost entirely to that district which lies between London and Oxford. As long ago as 1846 the question was raised, whether it was more expedient to supply that district by a line directly through it, or by branch lines from the Great Western. The legislature then decided in favour of the latter mode. In the last session this question was re-opened, and the same decision was again come to. In the present session a bill had been intro duced into Parliament in accordance with these deci sions ; and again, for the third, and he trusted the last time, the same decision had been come to. Its princi pal provisions were for making the Henley line and ex tending the time for its completion. It gave powers also for making a short line of two miles to Uxbridge. There were also several minor provisions. In the last session of Parliament a bill was introduced for making the North and South-Western Junction Railway, which crosses the Great Western Railway at Acton. The present bill gave power to make a station and junction at Acton, for the purpose of interchanging traffic. At Chippenham a road passed through the station, and power was given to divert that road and make other alterations necessary on the diversion. At Reading the station accommo dation was very inadequate, and this bill enabled the company to increase it. The directors had also availed themselves of the opportunity to make an altera tion in financial affairs. The debentures were in general granted for three, five, or six years, at the end of which period the money was repayable. It was proposed to take powers to convert the whole, or a portion of these debentures into perpetual mortgage stock bearing four per cent. interest. The SECRETARY read the preamble of the bill, and the marginal notes of the various clauses, when it was re solved that it be approved, subject to such alterations as might be made by Parliament or by the directors, and the directors were authorised to make or agree to such alterations as they thought advisable. The CHAIRMAN said that the second bill referred to the Birmingham line. It enables the Great Western Company to increase their station accommodation at Birmingham, for the purpose of connecting their traffic with that of the Warwick Canal. It next gave power to run over a small portion of the South Staffordshire Railway. It also referred to the joint station at Wol verhampton. This station had been constructed at the joint expense of the Great Western, the Oxford and Wor cester, and the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dud ley Companies, and this bill enforced a joint traffic com mittee for the purpose of giving effect to the arrange ments which had been made between the companies. The last provision referred to the payment of the securities on this line. Many of the shareholders had requested that the time for the payment of their securities should be extended, and as this would be a convenience to them and no inconvenience to the company, this was pro vided for. The bill having been road, the same resolution was passel as upon the first bill. The CHAIRMAN said that the third bill was in reference to the Shrewsbury alliance, and the fourth referred to the Devon and Dorset line, which was to be constructed by the Bristol and Exeter Company and the Great Western Company. The purpose of this bill was laid before the proprietors and approved, at the sp ecial meeting held in December last. Resolutions approving of the bills proposed by the di rectors having been agreed to, The CHAIRMAN said, that as the two first bills had passed through committee, the resolutions of the meet ing respecting them were therefore final ; but that as to the others, it would be necessary to provide for laying them before the proprietors again, in case any alteration should be made in them in committee. For this pur pose, he adjourned the meeting to Thursday, the 30th instant, and declared the business of the meeting con cluded. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, to which he I briefly responded, the meeting broke up. All the reso ations were passed without a dissentient. EAST AND WEST INDIA DOCK AND BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION. A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices at the Euston station, to consider a bill now before Parliament ; Mr. R. Creed in the chair. The solicitor read the preamble and heads of the bill, from which it appeared that powers were sought to raise an additional sum of 250,0001. on shares and 83,0001. on loan to meet liabilities already incurred, to procure suitable plant of engines and carriages, with the necessary workshops and other conveniences to accom modate the increasing traffic on the line. Powers were also inserted to enable the company to purchase pieces of land in certain localities, and to convert the debenture debt of the company into a debenture stock bearing interest not exceeding 4 per cent. per annum ; the new capital to be raised by the issue of 25,000 shares of 10/. each, and the name of the company to be changed to the North-London Railway. The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution approving of the bill. Mr. THOMNS seconded the motion. The resolution approving of the bill was then carried unanimously. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. 2871. 28.9 d. A R. ,ord Elphinstone, ;man-in-Waiting, 'esterday morning The Duke and Duchess de Nemours visited the Queen yesterday.

This morning Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., the Commander in -chief, went out and inspected the several ships, and exercised their crews in gunnery, firing at targets afloat. Such a connonade has not been heard here for some time, and as the artillery department began similar exercise at the new heavy battery of 68-pounders at Blockhouse Forte at the entrance to the harbour, the destruction of window-glass was considerable. The Arrogant will be detached from the above squadron for a short time, to enable her to ship new boilers. The Simoont, 18, iron steam-troopship, Captain Smith, left harbour this evening, at 5 o'clock, for the Thames, to ship more ammunition for the Mediterranean fleet, for which she also takes out supplies of provisions.

TUE BOROUGH EDUCATION BILL.—It will be seen with satisfaction by our readers, that the emphatic condom nation of the Borough Education Bill pronounced by the Town Councils of Leeds and Bradford has been ratified by resolutions carried by large majorities at crowded town meetings held in those important boroughs. This decision cannot but tend to strengthen the representa tions made to the Lord President of the Council, by the deputation from the Friends to Voluntary Education. Any attempt to press forward the Education Bill at this advanced period of the session would be fatuitous. The Government' have quite enough on their hands with the India Bill, which must be passed in some form or other.—Patriot. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 18, 1853, L UCCA AND PISTOJA RAILWAY COMPANY.

Bevan, Esq. The public is respectfully invited to examine the principles of the Deposit System of Assurance, which is based upon tables calculated by, and is under the immediate supervision of, Francis G. P. Nelson, Esq., F.L.S., the Consulting Actuary to the Company. Comparative Tables to assure 5001. on death, by a person aged twenty next birthday, on the ORDINARY and on the DEPOSIT system of Assure] 1522/.257d If un able to pay, or not desirous of paying or omitting topay,thePo licy would still remain of its rum value, 522/.21.7d.ti1l death, if 20 years after, no fur ther payment beingre quircd. If however the party, from any cause, wished to cancel the Policy, he could rot onlydraw out all hehas put in, viz., 2251., but a certain bonus of 62/. 2s. 9d. in the bargain, which is more than one-fourth of the whole of his payments, or he could either draw out a part, 20/. or 501., diminishing the Policy only by the assured value of the sum so drawn out at the ago when withdrawn. See pagess and 7 in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DErosiT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., Ist. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a g larer sum in of death than the system. 2dly. In the event of case a desire to surrender under his Policy he ordinary can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains stilt his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments tor any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. Ile can at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11. up to the Whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a shagle payment, three years, or ally time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the a palpable d to advantagesflto o o w f e n v e e c r e!s t i h t y a t, he he gets s a l ti e t a s e rest for his money, and in case of de ath his famil y receive more than l o n r a g a b i a n n f; h w a i v tl i i n t g h l a s the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices he can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any fend to fly to for aid, all his haul-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. s uc h a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognised and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bmk because it allows a fair rate of interest in ease of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in case of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSI system are still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDER THE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCH.

The troops turned out on " private parade," as it is called, at nine o'clock, and at ten Lord Seaton appeared on the ground and took the command. In order that the inanceuvres which we are about to describe may be understood it is necessary to give some preliminary explanations. To the rear of the camp is the Long Cross-road, and beyond that again a large tract of un dulating ground covered with heath and admirably adapted for setting off military movements to advantage. The force now assembled on the Common forms a divi sion, with three brigades on foot and cavalry and artil lery in proportion. The whole turned out yesterday, and, except of course the necessary guards, the encamp ment was deserted. An enemy was supposed to be advancing from the direction of Guildford, and the divi sion manoeuvred in the face of it according to the most approved rules of military tactics. In actual campaign ing evolutions so elaborate rarely took place. In the Peninsula, Salamanca is perhaps the only example to the contrary, for war is like everything else that man under takes, the theory being considerably in advance of the actual practice. It must be understood, however, that the operations of yesterday were not those of a sham fight, but rather represented a, one-sided view of a contest conducted according to the strict rules of mili tary science. Further it must be borne in mind that, being the first field-day, and preparatory to the display of Tuesday—when it is expected that the Queen will be present—the whole affair was more in the nature of a rehearsal than a deliberate exhibition of discipline and professional skill. Yet these qualifying observations are not made apologetically, for the men went through their work admirably, the steadiness and precision of their movements being, among experienced judges, subjects of unqualified encomium) Each regiment having left its private parade in front of its encampment the whole division formed in open columns of companies, the cavalry being in front. The brigades having first formed into close columns, they then wheeled into line of contiguous columns on the Long Cross-road, which, as already stated, lies at the rear of the camp. Thence they retired to the hollow ground beyond, where the whole line, by a brilliant movement, changed position—the left being thrown for ward on ,the right. I The enemy being supposed to be advancing, the line now retired, covered by the Rifles as: skirmishers. While these operations were carried out below the Foot Artillery had taken up their posi tion on the heights, and supported the movements of the division with the fire of their guns. The cavalry and Horse Artillery—which, when the infantry advanced, had remained in the rear—now took up a position on the left of the line, whence they first ad vanced, and then retired covered by skirmishers of their own regiments. The next movement was a very fine one—each battalion forming a double column of com panies on its own centre, after which they retired again. The Rifle Brigade was now withdrawn, the battalions deployed into line, and the three brigades formed into echelon of battalions. The battalions then formed quar ter-distance columns right in front, and retired en echelon —each covered by its foremost company. The cavalry having advanced, and retired through the intervals, took up a position in the rear of the line, after which each brigade formed into battalion squares en echelon, the kneeling ranks firing a volley. This well known mili tary movement was executed in the most perfect manner, and nothing could well exceed its brilliancy. It should here be stated that every change of position was accom panied with file firing, commenced from the right of companies. From squares the infantry broke into columns at quarter-distance, being still en echelon of battalion. The left of the line was then thrown back and the brigades formed into columns en masse, the Guards occupying the foremost position. The cavalry and artillery now moved to the front, and the whole division defiled past Lord Seaton and his staff in open columns of companies in quick time, with the bands playing. Each regiment then filed off to its private pa rade, arriving in camp about two o'clock, well appetise d I for dinner by the morning's exercise. Such, in brief terms, is an outline of what took place on the first field day at the camp ; but technical phrase ology gives a very faint conception of a display which may be enacted in other countries on a greater scale, but can nowhere be seen to greater advantage than at Chob ham. The character of the ground admirably fits it for showing off such military spectacles in the best possible manner. It is not a level plain where little can be seen except at an inconvenient distance, nor is it smooth enough to admit of those dashing headlong cavalry charges which look so well and would be so imposing if we could believe that battle fields were always as easy to ride over as Hyde Park. The rough, undulating, and dark surface of the heath deprived visitors of the pleasure of seeing a charge, but gave them instead—what, perhaps, was better—a complete view of every manoeuvre, and an appreciation of the picturesqueness which, notwith standing all our blunders in taste, we have undoubtedly secured for our army costume. On the first of these points the experience of yesterday was most satisfactory. The humblest spectator could see thoroughly all that took place, and could follow the action of the force, whether forming line, or consolidated in squares and columns, or arranged in stately battalions. The cavalry advancing or retiring through the intervals of the foot, and the artillery thundering from the heights, reminded one so forcibly of the details with which historians describe the great battles of the last war, that, even if such mimic scenes presented no other interest, that would be sufficient. Whatever Peace Societies may say to the contrary, the precise movements and the self-contained force of military power convey impressions which, apart from the mere pageantry, touch every heart. Here is a machinery upon which the enthusiasm, the chivalry, the most earnest thought, and the best blood of all ages, down to our own, have been expended, and yet, while so complicated, it is per fectly simple, and, while directly aimed at what it seeks to accomplish, it is carried out by blind obedience to orders on the part of thousands of armed men. When, however, to all this is added the splendid variety of mili tary garb and equipment which we possess, it seems only wonderful that a love for soldiering does not run I away with the minds of a, far larger number of our coun trymen. Yesterday this was strikingly brought out when the troops defiled, the advance of each regiment up the hill, led on by it band, being singularly imposing, Both then and during the previous evolutions, as they moved from point to point, or wheeled and formed into new positions, the favourable disposition of the ground, and the changing effects of sunlight upon cui rass and helmet, bayonet and fluttering lance, was always altering and improving the general aspect of the field. Now it was the Horse Guards, with their superb accoutrements and coal black chargers, that claimed attention ; then the long train of artillery came rum bling after them, the gunners looking as if they must be shaken to pieces by the jolting of the carriages. The Foot Guards, with their white trousers, red jackets, and towering shakos, figured prominently in this closing scene, as did the stern old "Black Watch" (the gallant 42d), and 93d Highlanders, with their pipers sending forth a storm of warlike music in the van. These two last-named were decidedly the most precise and rapid in their evolutions of any corps on the field, and their dis cipline excited the unqualified admiration of those who were well entitled to pronounce an opinion on the sub ject. An amusing incident ocdurred during the course of the evolutions, which gave a good idea of the strict dis cipline and hardy training of these sons of the north. When all the infantry were marching in column to form squares, one of those stagnant marshes, which we have mentioned as existing at the end of the common, lay right in the path of the household troops, who appeared to be not a little taken aback at the novel and uncom fortable adversary with which they had to contend. They hesitated, wavered, and at length altered their marching order from column, and formed four deep to pass round the edge of the pool. The Highlanders, who were immediately after them, never altered the position of a single man, but, merely raising their phila begs, splashed through the marsh up to their knees, scattering the mud and water in all directions. The whole thing excited much laughter, and many were the severe remarks we heard made upon the fastidious cha racter of the corps which would not, even on duty, risk sullying the purity of their spotless " whites." The -weather yesterday was highly favourable, and the troops are not only reconciled to, but quite enjoy their new life in the " tented field." Their health has not suffered in the slightest degree from the unwonted exposure, and within their lines they enjoy themselves as much as possible. They joke and sing and raise an occasional cheer as the work of pipe claying and clean ing accoutrements goes on, and in the evening some even have the spirit to dance, where music can be obtained to set their feet in motion. Two or three of the cavalry horses have been either rendered useless or killed out right from accidents arising out of the want of separa tion between them, but the Duke of Cambridge has taken steps to avoid a recurrence of such casualties. It is also stated that one of the men died suddenly from drinking some impure water, which contained an asp. The camp, as a whole, ma kes no unusual call upon the exertions of the medical staff in attendance, and yester day's parade especially passe d off without the slightest casualty. The South-Western Company have made extensive arrangements to meet the immense traffic from the me tropolis which is expected during the next few weeks to set in towards Chertsey. Thence to the common a great abundance of conveyances has been provided, and the public, who have so few opportunities of seeing military spectacles worthy of the name, cannot be too strongly recommended, if they have any curiosity in such matters, to go for the gratification thereof on any field-day to the Camp at Chobham. Since Tuesday the order, conveniences, and discipline of this canvass town have been vastly improved. Each regimental camp is distinctly laid out, its entrances de fined, a street through its centre, and sentinels all round in rough sentry-boxes of thatch protecting its lines. The whole position is seen to greatly increased advantage in fine weather. Drains have been roughly cut to carry away stagnant water, and the ground seems as dry as need be ;here the tents have been pitched. There was no great muster of people on the heath yesterday, for it was not known that there was to be an y unusual dis play, and it is such a quiet out-of-the-way place, that a great battle might be fought there without attracting much observation —during its progress.

CALEDONIAN. ------ - A special meeting of this company was held in Glas gow on Wednesday to authorise the directors to carry into immediate effect the agreement with the Edinburgh and GlasgoW Company, which had been formerly approved of, so far as this can be done without an act of Parliament, which could not be obtained in the present session. Mr. Johnston stated the leading provisions of this agreement. These were, that the two railways should be worked together ; that the receipts of both should be lodged in the bank ; and of the gross receipts the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company should draw 37 parts, and the Caledonian 80 parts, till the joint weekly receipts, on an average of six months, should exceed 14,000/. ; and that of the excess the Edinburgh and Glasgow should draw only 26 parts, and the Caledonian 91 parts, for each six months during which the average shall be above 14,000/, a week—each party out of the sum so received to pay its own working expenses. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. Johnston, the terms of agreement were approved of, and the meeting separated. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW. An extraordinary general meeting of this company was held on Wednesday, to authorise the directors to carry into immediate effect the agreement with the Caledonian Railway Company, approved of by the proprietors at the extraordinary general meeting of the 9th of June, 1852. The Chairman explained, that since June, 1852, the Edinburgh and Glasgow and the Caledonian had been working in company with advantage to both. Under the advice of a special committee the House of Com mons had resolved that no amalgamation bills should be passed this year till it was ascertained what conditions it might be expedient to impose in such cases ; and, consequently, their bill had been with drawn. Under these circumstances, it was the opinion of this board, and also of the Caledonian, that they should in the meantime proceed to carry their agreement into effect, as far as possible, by the appoint ment of a joint staff of officials. He concluded by pro. posing a resolution accordingly. Seconded by Mr. Dunlop, and unanimously agreed to. The meeting then broke up. GREAT WESTERN AND UXBRIDGE. At a special meeting of this company held on Thurs day, at the office, Park-street, Westminster, a bill now before Parliament was approved, " for enabling the Great Western Railway Company to construct additional lines and works, and conferring further powers on that company in reference to the Henley and Uxbridge lines."

Yesterday the annual general meeting of this institu tion was held in Willis's Room, King-street, St. James's. The Earl of Stanhope was called to the chair. Among those present were Mr. Moffatt, M.P., Baron de Rothschild, Professor de Morgan, Majendie, Esq., F.R.S., Dr. Elliotson, Lady Mary Bentinck, Miss Goldsmid, &c. The Noble CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the meeting, advocated the claims of the infirmary to encouragement and support. He should be sur prised if in the present times any one of ordinary ca pacity, and divested of vulgar prejudice, could be op posed to mesmerism. (Hear, hear.) They knew by com mon experience that it was powerful in its effects, and uni versal in its operation. Medical men complained that it had not yet been thoroughly tested. Now they all knew that several drugs produced different effects, but they were unable to - ;explain the precise mode of their opera tion. It was known to them that mesmerism, by some process of which they were ignorant, was able to reani mate and revive. In no case had mesmerism been pro ductive of injurious effects, excepting when it was re sorted to through motives of curiosity, and unskilfully applied. (Hear, hear.) It enabled the patient to submit to the most agonising surgical operations. It was true it might be said that chloroform did the same, but there was this difference, that in tiwitinsat of too little , or tog much being allied theepsequences *ere very bad. r(Hear, hear.) He was if to say, in conclusion, that the institution founded in this metropolis continued to flourish, notwithstanding the sneers of the vulgar, and the ignorant. (Loud cheers.) _ _ . Dr. EiliorsoN then proceeded to read the report of the committee for the past year, which to a great extent was devoted to the advocacy of mesmerism, and to a confutation of the objections urged against it by its op ponents. Since the last meeting twenty-two vice governors had been added to the institutiou, and forty four annual subscribers. The charge in the infirmary to patients had been reduced from half a guinea to ss. per week, and there were separate apartments for males and females, and, notwithstanding the insinuations that had been thrown out, no charge of improper treatment had been attempted to be made against the institution. (Hear.) In fact, the ladies and gentlemen who visited it were delighted with the arrangements. In accordance with the resolution of the general meeting, a new house had been taken in Grafton-street, Fitzroy-square, and although they had not anticipated any opposition, so hostile were the inhabitants of Fitzroy-square to the in stitution, that they would be compelled to remove rather than encounter the chances of litigation. During the last year there had been 298 patients, and of those 41 were still under treatment ; 57 had improved, and were able to return to their work. Sixty-one patients had been cured in from one to three visits, and many of the diseases cured had been of long standing. It appeared, according to the financial statement, that the annual subscriptions during the past year had amounted to 2121., and the donations to 1521., and after defraying expenses the balance in hand was 347/. 78. 9d., the previous bal ance having been 3941. On the reading of the report having been concluded, Mr. DE MORGAN moved that the report should be adopted, and in doing so he alluded to the falling away of the opposition which mesmerism formerly had to en counter. It was about 200 years since the first mesme riser appeared in England, that first instance of mesme rism produced a remarkable impression. They might hereafter be able to ascertain to what particular cause they should attribute the advantage of mesmerism ; but in the meantime, let them be content with the good re sults which had, fortunately, attended it. (Cheers.) Mr. JANSON seconded the resolution, and said he patronised mesmerism as a curative agent. The motion was then agreed to. The Rev. Mr. SARNBY moved the second resolution, and congratulated the meeting on the success of mes merism during the past year. He regretted the loss the institution had sustained by the death of their president, the late Earl of Ducie. It was, at the same time, a satisfaction to them that there was a man behind him on every ground fitted to take his place, and that man was the Archbishop of Dublin. (Cheers.) The Archbishop had manfully testified to the truths of mesmerism, and acknowledged the benefit he had himself derived from it. (Hear.) The reverend gentleman concluded by moving that his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin be elected Pre sident of the Institution. (Hear.) Mr. MAGENDIE seconded the motion, which was then unanimously agreed to. Mr. MOFFATT, M.P., in moving the next resolution, the appointment of Dr. Gregory, Professor of Chemistry in the Edinburgh University, to be a vice-president, warmly commended the infirmary to public patronage and support. The honourable gentleman added that Dr. Gregory had conferred great benefit on the cause of mesmerism by his valuable publications on the subject. (Cheers.) The motion having been seconded, was unanimously agreed to. Mr. KNIGHT, in moving the appointment of certain gentlemen members of the committee, availed himself of the opportunity to pass a warm eulogium on the ex ertions of Dr. Elliotson, who had triumphed, he said, over the persevering opposition to which he had for so long a time been subjected. The resolution was agreed to, as was also another re solution appointing Lady Mary Bentinck, the Lady of the Archbishop of Dublin, the Dowager Lady Goldsmid, and several other ladies, members of the ladies' com mittee. Thanks were then given to the noble earl in the chair k after which the meeting separated. TEE ARMENIANS IN TURKEY. The following is a translation, from the Armenian language, of a proclamation which has been distributed among the Armenians in Turkey : " Leo, by the grace of God, Sovereign of Armenia, Prince of Korikos, Prince do Lusignan, Prince of Geo gia, Prince of Gapan, Duke of Tyr, Count d'Almaric, and Defender of the Armenian Faith, to the Armenians in Turkey.—Beloved brothers and faithful country men,—Our will and our ardent wish is, that you should defend, to the last drop of your blood, your country and the Sultan against the Tyrant of the North. Remember, my brothers, that in Turkey there are no knouts ; they do not tear your nostrils; and your women are not flogged secretly or in public. Under the reign of the Sultan there is humanity, while under that of the Tyrant of the North there are nothing but atro cities. Therefore, place yourself under the protection of God, and fight bravely for the liberty of your country and your present sovereign. Pull down your houses to make barricades. And if you have no arms, break your furniture and defend yourselves with it. May Heaven guide you on your path to glory ! My blessings and prayers shall attend you wherever you go. My only happiness will be to fight in the midst of you against the oppressor of your country and our creed. May God incline the Sultan's heart to sanction my demand, because, under his reign, our religion remains in its pure form, while, under the Northern Tyrant, it will be altered. Remem ber, at least, brothers, that the blood that runs in the veins of him who now addresses you, is the blood of twenty kings ; it is the blood of heroes—Lusignans, and defenders of our faith ; and we say to you, let us defend our creed and its pure form until our last drop of blood. "LEO." LOAN FUND BOARD OF IRELAND.—The fifteenth an nual report of the commissioners for the year 1852 has been laid before Parliament. It states that the circula tion of these loan funds in 1852 was 739,0561., and ex ceeded that of 1851 by 26,9831. The capital in the year 1852 was 186,2711., and exceeded that of 1851 by the sum of 311. The amount of capital returned is that for which societies are accountable, and not the amount wholly available for circulation. The number of loans made in 1852 was 191,870, being an increase over the loans of 1851 of 820. The number of notes sold by the board in 1852 was 205,800, being an increase on the sale of 1851 of 9,000. The number of debentures issued in 1852 was 393, being a decrease on the issue of 1851 of 105. The gross profits derived from discou n t s , fi nes , sale of cards and application papers in 1852, were 21,3341., being an increase over the profits of 1851 of 5791. The number of societies in operation in 1852 was 113, being 10 less than in the year 1851 ; yet the circulation exceeded that of the former year. The amount of fines in 1852 was 3,3161.. being less than that of 1851 by the sum of 1961. The amount appropriated to charitable and useful purposes, out of the surplus profits in 1852 was 1,0721., being an increase over the amount of grants in 1851 of 4021. The total receipts of the board, from all sources, in 1852 was 1,2271. ; the disbursements being 1,1061., there was an excess of gross re ceipts over all disbursements of 1211. while in 1851 the disbursements exceeded the total income by the sum of 1571. From nine societies which had been previously gazetted by the board, dividends have been paid to deposi tors varying from 3s. Bd. to 20s. in the pound, and seven others have been ,gazetted. The commissioners again urge the necessity of increased supervision for the safety of the depositors, and repeat the opinion of their last report to the effect—" That some inquiry, parliamentary or go vernmental, is urgently required into the adequacy of the present machinery of local management., and of the existing legislative control over the institutions, for the due protection of the savings of the industrious poor that are A n s v e D s s t o e .A d in t sA I o N a o n N o d t s i s i n D t h o i N s country." Arto ._ Tlie Treasure of the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital for the cure of de formities (Bloomsbury-square) has just received the handsome donation of 2001. from "a friend and approver of the society," in aid of the funds for erecting the more commodious -building, rendered necessary by the great influx of patients from different parts of the country. as ~8~ •
