WAVERLEY NOVE LS. Abbotsford Edition. Vol. XIL This maguificent editihn of the " Waverley Novels" has now drawn to its conclusion. It comprises, in twelve splendid volumes, the whole of the fictitious prose works of Sir Walter Scott, namely, no less than twenty-eight novels and romances, and four short tales. It is at once a graceful tribute to the genius of the great benefactor of modern literature, and a most attractive offering to his admirers—to the public, we should rather say, for the terms are surely synonymous. In ordinary cases to direct our commendation, more especially to the binding and getting-up of any work, is but a poor compliment to its author; in the present instance, however, any recom mendation of the subject -matter of these volumes would be a very poor compliment to our readers In the pre sent day there are few indeed to whom the author of " Waverley" remains " the great unknown," and to those few, who are yet to have the pleasure of making his acquaintance, it were useless to recommend the Abbots ford edition—its embellishments would certainly be thrown away. It may, perhaps, be deemed somewhat complimentary to an author when, carried away by the interest of his narrative, we skip over his own descrip tions, but it would certainly not be very complimentary to Sir Walter Scott, if the reader, for the first time pe rusing his pages, paused to admire the beautiful en gravings scattered through them. To those, however, who are already acquainted with these beautiful works, this new edition must prove most acceptable. The bind ing is both elegant And durable, the typography is of ex ceeding clearness, the print being of somewhat large size, very distinct and legible—a matter of no small im portance in such a work. -he -twelve volumes contain no less than one hunded and twenty engravings on steel, and two thousand on wood; comprising portraits of some of the historical characters mentioned in the novels, specimens of armour, coins, and costumes, illustrative of the various epochs referred to, together with landscapes and fictitious scenes. Among the artists who have fur nished the illustrations we find the names of Wilkie, Stanfield, Laadseer, Turner, Chalon, Allom, and many others of distinction. This last volume contains a very beautiful engraving of Sir David Wilkie's painting of the " .Abbotsford Family"—a picture too generally known to need comment or commendation. The ro mance of " Count Robert of Paris," together with " Castle Dangerous," and the shorter tales, forms the contents of the twelfth volume. " Count Robert of Paris" is illustrated by some scenes from the East, by Allom, which offer a pleasing contrast to the Scottish landscapes of " Castle Dangerous." Among the former is a most beautiful view of the beautiful Stamboul, with its myriad minarets ; among the latter, is a sylvan glimpse of Cadzow Forest, Lanarkshire, by 31‘Culloch. To this volume is affixed an index of the proper names aw a l n os d or d a as t n; wmi henmoreover ex p o avtgeorall t h h e s nr name aan i n s da fi na r a s lgy t i so t i o sss be efr glossary found; hoef mentioned in th e w h o l e wor k— a sort of dramatis per sonce--telling wh o eac h i n di v id ual is, and in what work p t l h o e t of every tale, with the numbers of the pages on which the various incidents are to be found—this will be of great advan tage in all cases of reference. It would have been, per haps, more convenient had the analysis followed after each tale. Among the illustrations of this volume are " interiors" of the library and armoury of Abbotsford, and also of the dining-room in which Sir Walter expired. There are besides these, representations of Dryburgh Abbey, his burial place; of the tombstone over his grave; of the statue in the "Scott monument" at Edinburgh; and also of the monument itself. However much this beautiful edifice may be admired, and however much the reader of Scott, contemplating the picture of it in this volume, may own that it was deserved, and rejoice that it was erected, he must also own that it was certainly . not needed. Yet it must be regarded as a testimonial o a grateful and admiring people, not as a monument to perpetuate the memory of Scott—that were indeed su perfluous, while his works exist. it were indeed " use- less and ridiculous excess" to attempt, by perishable stone, to preserve tbe memory of one who has himself built his own monument in a material— " Zre perennius Regalique situ pyramidum altius Quod non imber edax, non Aquito impotens Possit deruere." MURR.4Y'S HOME AND COLONIAL LI BRARY. No. XLI. The Sieges of Vienna by the Turks. At a moment, when the indignation of the civilised people of Western Europe is aroused by the flagrant act of despotic usurpation just perpetrated upon the Cracovian republic, it is well that this little volume has been published. We thank the noble translator, the Earl of Ellesmere, for this generous exercise of his in tellectual capacities. We thank Mr. Murray for the opportune moment he has chosen for lvaing this fine narrative—this narrative of sublime hi , roisin on the part of a great-hearted nation; for it is well that the world should be reminded, how infinite is the debt of gratitude owing from Austria to that Poland, which its dastardly and execrable selfishness has been instrumental in destroying. It is well that men should not be allowed to forget how Christendom was saved by Polish valour, when Mussulmen were invading Europe—how Vienna was saved from the ruthless scymetars of the Turks by Polish soldiers— how the very existence of Austria was saved under the walls of Vienna by the dauntless warriors of Poland, under the banners of John Sobieski. This admirable little volume will serve to revive the recollection of these facts, to the eternal glory of Poland, and the everlast ing shame of Austria. FINE ARTS. ROYAL GEMS FROM THE GALLERIES OF EUROPE. Part XI. In'a serial publication of this nature, one of the first considerations is naturally the diversity of subjects in each successive number. Since the appearance of these " Royal Gems," we have had nothing to complain o f on this score; and the eleventh part, now lying before us, is a very favourable specimen of the discrimination of the editor. Mr. S. C. hall here introduces to our notice a copy from the original of a living artist, William Salter, being the portrait of a child, and headed the " Young Cavalier"—a copy from the celebrated painting of Van dyke of Charles the First—and another of the famous " Market Cart " of Gainsborough. The latter en graving strikes us as being the least successful; there is an absence of that glitter and brightness which charac terises that exquisite picture in the National Gallery. In the original the leaves are swimming in sunshine —here they seem blighted by the smoke from a lime-kiln. The notices by the editor are writtenlin an agreeable and po pular manner. THE.

The coarse and unwarrantable attack made by M. GUIZOT upon Lord NORMANBY seems in Paris to have excited one general feeling of indignation. Lord NOR MANDY felt bound to represent the matter to his Go vernment, which he did in a dispatch dated " Paris, Feb. 6," of which the following is an extract : " I enclose to you a report of M. Guizot's speech, which I have just read in this morning's Moniteur. There are many portions of that speech worthy of comment; but the object of my addressing your Lordship on the subject is personal to myself. " I observe, M. Guizot, in alluding to my interview with him of the 25th of September, uses this phrase:—' Mais j'ose dire qua si DI. l'Ambassadeur d'Angleterre m'avait fait I'honneur de me communiquer sa depeche du 25 Septembre, comme it m'avait communique celle du 1 Septembre, j'aurais parle autrement et puet-titre mieux qu'il m's fait parler.' " If M. Guizot means that if I had returned to him the next day, and read to him this dispatch, the recital would have been more exact, I at once reiterate, in the strongest possible terms of which language is capable, that the report made by me to y our L or d s hi p i n that dispatch is a close and literal translation of every phrase used, and of every explana tion offered by M. Guizot during that conversati,,n. " Your Lordship will observe that M. Guizot dues not give the slightest intimation of what would have been the nature of any alteration which, under these circumstances, he would have made. " If M. Guizot only means, that if I had returned to him the next day, the phraseology of his answers might at his request have been improved, I think that very likely; if I had again given him that very unusual opportunity which in the spirit of courtesy I offered to him on the 2d of Septem ber, I have no doubt he might then, as before, have altered a phrase he had used, as well as have supplied an omission which he had observed. But, after what was stated yester day, it becomes important your Lordship should bear in mind what was the one inaccuracy in the dispatch of the Ist of September. I had on the 2d of September M. Guizot's own confirmation of the literal report of every expression used by him, except that I had not clearly explained the nature of the memorandum of the 27th of February. Desiring to give every facility to M. Guizot to make his case known to your Lordship, I adopted his suggestion, and inserted the words he desired, though I feel bound, in self-defence, to say that M. Guizot did not succeed in stating so clearly to the the nature of this communication on the;firstday:as he did on the second. " I should have been perfectly contented that the matter should remain as it is, but I feel it due to my own character, which no other consideration can induce me for a moment to compromise, to request your Lordship will give the same publicity to this dispatch as to the rest of the corre spondence." To that dispatch the following answer was returned yesterday by Lord PALMERSTON : "-office, Feb. 11 18. "My Lord,—Y our dispatch Foreig of n the 6th instant , 47 has been received at this office, and I have in reply to assure your Excellency that her Majesty's Government feel the most perfect confidence in the accuracy of your reports; and that nothing which . passed in the Chamber of Deputies on the sth instant can in the slightest degree shake the conviction of her Majesty's Government, that the account contained in your dispatch of the 25th of September last, of what had passed in a conversation between yourself and M. Guizot on that day, was entirely and strictly correct. "I am, &c., (Signed) " PALMERSTON." THE SPANISH MARRIAGES. We announced some days ago that Lord Palmerston would not reply to the last dispatch of M. Guizot. The following is the dispatch in which that determination is announced : " VISCOUNT PAZOIERSTON TO THE MARQUIS OF NORMANBY. " Foreign-office, Feb. 2, 1847. " My Lord,---With reference to my dispatch of yesterday, informing your Excellency that I have received from the Count de Ste. Aulaire a copy of the dispatch addressed to him by M. Guizot on the 25th ult., I have to instruct your Excellency to state to M. Guizot, that although there are statements and arguments in that dispatch to which, in an earlier state of the discussion between the two Governments, her Majesty's Government might have thought it right to reply ; yet, as her Majesty's Government have now laid be fore Parliament and the public the correspondence which contains a full explanation of the views, opinions, and con duct of the British Government in regard to the mat ter to which that correspondence relates, her Majesty's Govern ment do not consider it necessary to continue the discussion any further; and it is therefore their intention to refrain from making any observations upon M. Guizot's last dis patch. I am, lilac. (Signed) PALMERSTON' In the Spanish Senate, on the Ist inst., the Marquis de Miraflores entered into the following explanations respecting his share in the transactions respecting the marriages which had recently been made public, in the notes of Lord Pal merston and M. Guizot. In the first place, M. Guizot had stated that the overtures for the marriage of the Infanta with the Duke de ➢[ontpen sier had originally proceeded from him, when he was Presi dent of the Council of Ministers, after the fall of the Narvaea Cabinet. He declared that the statement thus made by M. Gnizot was most inexact. No overtures had ever been made by him. He had informed M. Bresson, when speaking to hitnon the subject of the Trapani marriage, that such an alliance was quite out of the question; in fact, that it was impossible. And in the course of a private conversation with the French Ambassador, he declared that he did not under stand why the marriage of the Queen and the Infanta should necessarily be solemnizd simultaneously. But any conver sation he had with M. Bresson on the subject was entirely of a private and confidential character, never intended to be communicated to any one, much less in an official manner. But in no case whatever were any " overtures" made by him on the subject of the Montpensier marriage. M. Guizot, then, was quite incorrect in making such a statement. The French Ambassador could not have forgotten the nature of the con versation, and would, no doubt, testify to the truth o f w h at he (the Marquis de Miraflores) stated. He then adverted to a passage in one of Lord Palmerston's notes to the Marquis of Normanby, to the effect that he (the Marquis de Miraflores) had gone on a mission in July last to Louis Philippe, with th e o bj ec t o f i nducing his Majesty to lay aside his objections to the Coburg alliance. This statement of Lord Palmerston h a d b een d enied by Guizot, in a dispatch to M. de Jarnac. But he found, in the note of the Bth of January last, addressed to Lord Normanby, this same statement repeated, notwithstanding M. Guizot's denial ; and, further, that in case be (the Marquis de Miraflores) succeeded in his mission with the King of the French, he was to proceed direct to London, with the object of communicating with the British Government thereon. He admitted that, as Lord Palmerston said, he had gone to Paris at the period m en ti one d . He admitted that he h a d, as stated, an interview with the Ring of the French, at Neuilly, not only on the 19th of July, but on several subse quent occasions ; and that the conversations he had with his Majesty often turned on Spanish affairs and the Spanish marriages. He repeated, he had several such conversations, an d was admitted with deference towards himself by the King of the French, who for many years had so honoured hi m . But lie declared that he was not diplomatically nor officially employed to proceed to Paris on the subject of the Queen's marriage or the Infanta's. He went there, saw the King, and had various conversations with him on Spanish affairs, but never in an official character, and simply as the Marquis de Miraflores. A great many senators were present; the public galleries were also crowded. Mr. Bulwer, the Baron del Borgo, the Danish, and Baron Grovestein, the Dutch, Ministers, were in the diplomatic box. The Sacred Har monic Society's ne xt performance will take place on Thu rs d ay evening. Handel's " Dettingen To. Deum," Mozart's 12th Service, and other pieces, are in cluded in the programme. THE WEATHER AND THE PARRS. -- -Yesterday the frozen waters in the different Parks and Kensington Gardens ticert- again thronged with a countless multitude. It is sap posed that 15,000 persons were on the ice during the day, fortunately without accident occurring —the thaw that ren dered the streets of the metropolis so miserable for pedes trians producing little or no effect. The barometer at the Humane Society's receiving -house ranged from 36 to 38 degrees, the wind being N. by N.N.W. THE ROYAL ASYLUM OF THE ST. ANN'S SOCIETY. —A half-yearly Court for the election of children was held yesterday, at the London Tavern. The report showed a steady increase in the society's funds, and the accomplish ment of some important improvements in the arrange• ments. The number of applicants ware no less than 98; 37 girls, and 61 boys, from w hom were elected five girls and seven boys, and one with the highest number of votes also declared elected. TRADE IN PAISLEY.—There have been turbulent meetings at Paisley, growing out of the scarcity of employ ment. The Provost had, however, mitigated the tumult by providing webs for those on the relief fund, on condition of their forming themselves into parties of twenty, and giving certain guarantees for the due execution and return of the work. REMOVAL OF CONVICTS FOR GIBRALTAR.—On Wednesday and Thursday, the steamers Waterman No. 3 and Waterman No. 1 7, conveyed 300 male convicts from the Penitentiary, Milbank, to Sheerness, where they were trans ferred on board the Euryalus transport for passage to Gib raltar, where the prisoners will be employed on the public works. Several persons recently appointed as mates and quartermasters embarked on board the Euryalus at the same time. MORE SECRET POISONING IN ESSEX.--DUNMOW, THURSDAY.--Yesterday the Rev. Mr. Majendie, and other magistrates acting for the district, were engaged some time at the police-station of this town in receiving evidence against Sarah Bright and David Grey, on suspicion of having caused the death of their illegitimate child, David Grey Bright, aged seven weeks, by administering to it a certain deleterious drug. It appeared that up to the 12th ult. the deceased was considered to be a healthy child, but on the afternoon of that day, whilst lying in the cradle, it was taken ill, as if in a fit, and turned black in the face. It rallied a little, but was again seized in a similar manner, and expired in the course of the following morning. An inquest was called to investigate the death, and the jury returned a ver dict that " the deceased died from convulsions, but how pro duced there :was no evidence to show." In a few days afterwards many additional suspicious rumours got afloat respecting the affair, and one or two of the jurymen who presided at the inquest communicated to the magistrates in the neighbourhood on the subject. Mr. Superintendent An • derson was instructed in the matter, and the result was the apprehension of the parents of the child on the charge previously mentioned. Yesterday (Wednesday . ) they were brought up for final examination, and the prisoners were committed to the county gaol, at Chelmsford, for trial at the ensuing assizes on a charge of wilful murder. ELECTION Rumouns.—We are requested by Sir Howard Elphinstone's agent to state, in the most unqualified terms, that there is not the slightest truth whatever in the rumour that the Hon. Baronet has resigned his seat, or that he has intimated his intention of resigning it.— Sussex Ad tieer. I INNER TO MR. WARLRY, M.P.—We UnJer cand that Thos. Dancotnbe, Eaq., M.P., and Ge.naal Si: De Lacy Evans, M.P., have signified their intention to be present at the dinner to be given to Mr. Wakley on Mon day oat. COURT OF ALDERMEN . • Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of public business. • ' Alderman COPELAND, before the Court proceeded to the ' ordinary business, rose to repeat, in the absence of Alderman Humphery, the question put by that member at the last Court. It had been moved at a previous Court that a com mittee should be appointed to instruct the Remembrancer to prepare a Bill for the extension of the franchise as regarded the election of Aldermen and Common Councilmen. That motion had been unanimously agreed to, and it was natural to expect that a committee would be accordingly appointed. • There appeared to be, however, no sympton of any committee of the kind. He, therefore, requested to be informed by the Lord Mayor whether it was his Lordship's intention to call a committee upon the subject? It will be recollected that Alderman Humphery broke up the last Court by counting it eut, in consequence of the want of what he considered to be a sufficient explanation. Alderman FAREBROTHER said, the motion of Alderman Humphery, referred to the election of the Court of Common Council with which the Court of Aldermen had nothing whatever to do. Nobody knew anything about the Bill which Alderman Humphery was desirous that the Remem brancer should prepare, and that worthy Alderman ought to be in attendance in his place to put the Court in possession of what he meant.—(A laugh.) It was to be confessed that the motion of Aldermon Humphery looked like an elec tioncering expedient.—(A laugh.) Alderman COPELAND said he held it to be fair and reason able that when, upon the motion of Alderman Humphery, s'conded by himself, that a committee be appointed to take the matter into consideration had been passed, he believed unanimously, by the Court, the question should be put as to the time of the appointment of such committee. The RECORDER said the Lord Mayor did not know why he in particular should be expected to call a meeting of the com• mittee on the subject. Alderman COPELAND said he knew that the motion of Alderman Humphery to appoint a committee to bring in a Bill to amend the 11th of George L had been agreed to re gularly by that Court. It had been stated at the last Court that Alderman Humphery had taken the Court by surprise with the question. .Against such a statement he most solemnly protested, and he now called upon the Court to agree with him in calling for the appointment of the com mittee. Sir P. LAURIE—You may call spirits from the vasty deep, ,but will they come? Sir J. DUKE—Has any one given notice of a motion for rescinding the resolution of the Court for the appointment of a committee? Several voices answered," Certainly not." Sir J. DUKE—Then it is quite evident the Court was not taken by surprise. Alderman FAREBROTHEE—If a member give notice of one motion and substitute another, what is he to expect? The motion of which Alderman Humphery gave notice was dif• ferent from that which he brought forward. Here the conversation dropped, and the Court proceeded to receive reports for sealing an agreement for purchase of land required for the enclosure of the parish of Brandesbur ton, in Yorkshire, the estate of the city of London, and on the completion of the Commissioners' award for the Brandes burton enclosure, which reports being agreed to, the Court adjourned. - - - LORD GEORGE BENTINCK AND THE " IRISH PARTY." An important and highly influential meeting of the newly. formed Irish party was held yesterday at their rooms, Par liament-street, the object for which the meeting was con vened being to take into consideration the course most de sirable to be adopted with reference to the second reacting of Lord George Bentinck's Bill. The attendance was consi• derably larger than at any of th e p rece di ng meet i ngs, great interest being felt by all connected with Ireland in the fate of the proposed measure. Amongst those present were—Lord Monteagle, Earl of Lucan, Earl of Mountcashel, Lord Bernard, Lord Clements, Sir Denham Norreys, Sir Thomas Esmonde, Sir Edmund Hayes, John O'Connell, W. S. O'Brien, Daniel O'Connell, jun., Fitzstephen French, G A. Hamilton, P. S. Butler, Frederick Shaw, Colonel Acton, F. Vesey, Hon. Cecil Law less, John O'Brien, T.

Lord MONTEAGLE took the chair, and briefly stated the object of the meeting. Several members expressed an anxiety that such an ar rangement could be made as would secure the passing of Lord George Bentinck's Bill without impeding the progress of the measures brought forward by the Government for the relief of Ireland. It being generally known that the Minis ters were determined to resign in case an adverse vete by the House or Commons on their intended amendment to the motion for the second reading of Lord George Bentinck's Bill was come to, • a strong feeling was expressed that such an event at this particular crisis should be guarded against, while there was at the same time a great anxiety not to em barrass the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn After some discussion on the merits of the Bill, and the probable result of its being immediately pressed on, the fol lowing resolution was unanimously adopted "That Lord George Bentinck be requested to postpone to such day as he shall appoint the second reading of the Railway Bill, in order that the discussion on the Bill may not interfere with the progress of measures now before the House, which are of urgent and' immediate importance to the famishing poor of Ireland; and also that time may be given for the expression of public opinion in Ireland upon the merits of the proposal of Lord George Bentinck." Subsequently a resolution was passed requesting Mr. W. S. O'Brien to wait on Lord George Bentinck and communicate to him the foregoing resolution, with a request that his Lord ship would, if possible, comply with the wi s h es o f th e I r i s h party therein expres se d. Mr. O'Brizim assented, and proceeded to the residence of Lord George Bentinck. On returning to the meeting he stated that his reception by the Noble Lord was most cour teous; that, having placed the resolution in his hands, and stated the feeling of those by whom he was deputed, the Noble Lord explained that his only object is forwarding the Bill through its different stages was to hasten the application of a measure of relief which he conceived to be more appli. cable to the present condition of Ireland than any proposed by the Government. He added that he could give no under taking to postpone the second reading without first obtain ing the concurrence of his immediate supporters; that his own feeling in the matter was, that every day's delay in the application of true and effective measures had the effect of prolonging the sufferings of the people and increasing the horrible mortality that existed in Ireland, while it at the same time rendered necessary the continuance of large, and, so tar as future progress was concerned, useless expenditure. Such being the case, he could not himself willingly assume the responsibility of postponing a measure of such import ance for the future welfare of Ireland as that to which the resolution of the Irish party referred. It was his anxiety to meet, if possible, the wishes of the Irish representatives, and while he held himself free, previous to consultation with his friends, from any distinct promise of postponement, he would state that if a postponement were possible it could only be at the instance of the Irish Members publicly expressed in the House. We understand that an arrangement was made among the members of the Irish party to assume all the responsibility of delay, and to unite in representing to the House the neces sity that existed for allowing the immediate measures of re lief to take prece.ience of all other business, and in urging upon the Noble Lord and his friends their anxious wish that he would postpone the second reading of his Railway Bill.

EXAMPLES. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, FED. 10.—Very great activity is being dis played in the Dockyard in preparing for another attempt to float the Sphynx. Four camels are being prepared for the purpose, and mechanics and labourers for the millwrights' department were sent down yesterday to assist in removing as much of her machinery as can be got out. Sanguine hopes are entertained that the next attempt will be success ful. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday next are likely to be the highest tides. The Sylvia (tender to the Seallower) arrived yesterday from Jersey, and sailed on her return thither to-day. The first division of the 56th Regiment arrived to-day by train, and immediately embarked in the Belleisle. The Gypsy tender, which arrived here yesterday afternoon from Sheerness, sailed this morning for Cork, having only called here for a pilot. Woor.wzot, FEB. 11.—The Antelope steam-vessel went down the river yesterday on an experimental trip, to ascer tain her speed and the working of her engines. The speed of the vessel was found to be 12h knots by the common log when the engines were making 28i revolutions per minute, and 11.392 knots when taken at the measured mile in Long reach, the engines making 26i revolutions per minute. The Antelope during the trip was immersed 10 feet inches iu the fore part. and 10 feet 10 inches aft, and her engines worked well. It is expected she will proceed to Chatham in a few days. The Olin steam-vessel, Captain Willi:tins, went down the river on Tuesday-, it was unders:o:l, to have her compasses adjusted, and proceed to Portsmouth to take on board meat fur Ireland ; but after reaching Erith, she re turned the same afternoon to Deptford, and is now loading with meal at that port, for the relief of the inhabitants of Ireland. The Medea steam-vessel, Commander Mason, went on shore betwixt Plymouth and Falmouth, and was under the neces sity of returning to the former place. The Monkey steam-vessel is ordered to proceed to Ports mouth. The completion of the vessels of the provision squadron, fitted at this port, being now effected, the men of the dock yard have resumed work upon the other vessels in progress of building and refitting. Notice has been given, that after the 10th of February inst. no private ship of war, or transport, or other private or mer chant ship or vessel which may receive on board gunpowder before leaving Gravesend, is to draw up opposite that place when proceeding down the river. THE LATE MR. J. TOOLE, TH E TOAST-MASTER. —The mortal remains of this well-known festive functionary were last Sunday consigned to their last resting-place, in the Nunhead Cemetery. Thos e who were accustomed to attend the public dinners of the benevolent societies of the metro polis, the civic dinners of the magistracy, and the hall dinners of the City companies, will not easily forget the part Mr. Toole performed on those occasions. He was a sort of feature at those banquets, and not unfrequently were his powers required to assist the chairmen in the preservation of decorum and the regular series of the toasts. With his Royal highness the Duke of Cambridge he was an especial favourite, and, as the fugleman of the Duke, he gave the word to fill and empty to the healthy proposed with an ener gy and a character peculiarly his own. Ile has instructed and formed some g ood p u p ils, but none mor e able to take his place than his eldest son, who, unfortunately, possesses little beyond the talents of his father, and on whom has devolved the duty of supporting an orphan brother and three orp h an sisters. It is to be hoped that the public will not be on theirbeback- iil which his g m support,ward i n recognizing e t heclaims sympathiesof o this young conviviality father excited will not evapo ra t e in mere regret for his death.

" Mrs. Weekley, of No. E. Swan-street, Borough, takes tkis opper tnaity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Orimstone, of the llerbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in haying com pletely restored the hair on her bead, after using itabout tow• months, nd the whole of her hair is much stronger and snore luxuriant than over was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. IVeekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Ragenator, feeling assured that many ladies world gladly purchase an lie. bottle if they wore as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swan-street, norough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the cr.,yrn of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and - irevent It turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops en your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the %air brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing .dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair. --nee pamphlet of testimonials.

"-- Van Helmont has inf orme d posterity of the means by :4 S `which he prolonged the life of a man to extreme old age. is person, whose name was Jan Mass, was in the aer. • e of Martin Rythovius, the first Bish9p , of Ypres, i when that prelat e , by d es i re o f t h e illustrious -sufferers, assisted at the execution of Counts E.gmont and Horn. Mass was then in the 25th y ear of h is age. When he was 58, being poor, and having a large. family of young children, he came to Van Helmont, and entreated.him to prolong his life if he could, for the sake of his children, who would be left destitute in case ofhis death, and must have to beg their bread from door to door. Van Helmont then a young man, was moved by such an application. Considering what might be the likeliest means of swain ing life in its decay, he called to mind the fact that wine is preserved fro m corrupt i on b y the fumes of burnt ' brim stone; it then occurred to him that the acid liquor of sulphur, "acidern sulphuric stigma" (it is better se to ' transcribe his words than to call it the sulphuric acid), must of necessity contain the fumes and odour of sul phur, being, according to his chemistry, nothing but those fumes of sulphur, combined with, or imbibed in, its mercurial salt. The next step in his reasoning was to regard the blood as the wine of life; if this could he kept sound, though longevity might not be the necessary consequence, life would at least be preserved from the many maladies which arose from its corruption, and sanity, and immunity from such diseases, and from the sufferings consequent thereon, must certainly tend to its prolongation. He gave Mass, therefore, a stone bottle of the distilled liquor of sulphur, and ta ug ht hi m a l so how to prep are t hi s oil from ' burnt sulphur, and he ordered him at every meal to take two drops of it in his first draught of beer; and not liking to excet , d that, two drops, he thought, contained enough of the fumes for a sufficient dose. This was in the year 1600; and now, says Helmont, in 1641, the old man still walks about the streets of Brussels. And what is still better (guodgue augustius est), in all these forty years he had never been confined by any illness, except that, by a fall upon the ice, he once broke his leg near the knee; and he has constantly been free from fever, remaining a slender and lean man, and always poor. Jan Mass had n ear ly reached h is ' 100th year when this was written, and it is no wonder that Van Helmont, who upon a fantastic analogy had really prescribed.an efficient tonic, should have accounted, by the virtue of his prescription, for the health and vigour which a strong constitution had retained to that extraordinary age. There is no reason for doubting the truth of his statement; but if Van Helmont relied upon his theory, he must have made further experiments. ' It is probable, therefore, that he either distrusted his own hypothesis, or found, upon subsequent trials, that the result disap pointed him. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

These prices are an increase of 30c. on wheat, and a diminution of 18c. per hecto litre on rye. The Chamber of Representatives continued to-day the general discussion of the projects of law, relative to the clearing of the waste lands. Our forests are nearly exhausted in order to procure the wood requisite in the construction of railways, and we are therefore obliged to have recourse, at a great expense, to other countries. The necessity of substituting for wood some other material which is sufficiently abundant, of like value, and more durable, is generally felt, and has excited the attention of several inventors. The object seems to have been attained by M. Ales Werotte, who has just obtained a patent for a very simple invention, substituting stone for wood. BERLIN, FRB. 7.
