The object of this Company is the working of a large tract of coal land in Virginia (10,000 acres), near the Kanawha River, a navi gable tributary of the Ohio, and convenient to all the great Western markets. A charter has been obtained from the Virginia State Legislature for working this Company, and the lands purchased in " fee simple," so that no liability will be attached to the shareholders beyond the amount of subscribed shares. The quantity of workable coal above water level on this property is estimated by Professor A nsted (who has lately returned from a special mission to the district), at 55,500 tons per acre. The de mand far exceeds the supply, and the markets are easily ap proached by good river navigation. The cost of working these mines, and carrying the coal to market, has been carefully calculated by Professor Ansted, showing that on the Kanawha it can be put on board the boats at 3s. per ton, be stored in depots on the Ohio at about 68. per ton, and delivered at Ne vv Orleans at less than 9s. 6d. per ton, and at the lowest market price will realise 25 per cent on the Company's capital. Prospectuses, together with detailed reports of the property, can be obtained at the brokers, and at the offices, No. 30, Bucklersbury. .A.pplieations for shares, in the usual form, to be addressed to the Secretary, or to the Brokers of thl Company.

An eminent naturalist and physiologist has lately put forth the startling theory that once in seven years every particle of the frame is entirely re newed, although the process is gradual. Be this as it may, what is certain is, that men, like plants in the spring, receive increased vigour and substance. rHE SPRING has always been remarked as a period when dis ease, if it be lurking in the system, is sure to show itself. The coldness of winter renders torpid the acrimonious fluids of the body, and in this state of inactivity, their evil to the system is not per caived ; but at the Spring these are aroused, and, if not cheked, mix up and circulate with the blood, and thus the whole system is con taminated. PARR'S LIFE PILLS, taken three every night for two or three weeks, will rid the body of all that is noxious, and produce health and comfort. Persons troubled with scorbutic affec tions are strongly advised to try them at this time of the year; in a few days they perceive the powerful clearing properties they possess, and thus be induced to continue them. TO THE PROPRIETORS OF PARR'S LIFE PILLS. 42, Trongate, Glasgow, March 4th, 1853. GENTLEMEN ,—I am requested by James Hutchinson, overseer, Rutherglen, to express to you his gratitude for the great benefits he has derived from taking PARR'S LIFE PILLS. About nine years ago he was much afflicted with pains in the stomach and chest, shortness of breath, &c. He was advised to try PARR'S PILLS, and after taking them for some time he was completely restored to health. He is now sixty-seven years of age, and, although he scarcely ever expects to rival Old Parr, he seems quite convinced that had it not been for his Pills he never would have reached his present age. A Sailor, some time ago, told me that he had been treated by a medical man for consumption, but finding no benefit, he commenced taking PARR'S PILLS, and he is now able to go to sea again. Yours, &c., Scorr. TO LADIES. PARR'S LIFE PILLS are especially efficacious in all the varieties of ailments incidental to the fair sex. Ladies even of the most deli cate constitution will And them particularly beneficial both before and after confinement; and for general use in Schools they cannot be too strongly recommended. They mildly and speedily remove all skin eruptions, sallowness of complex 4 en, nervous irratibility, sick headache, depression of spirits, ' , regularity, or general derangement of the system. MRS SARAH BROWN, 128, Morland-street, Aehton-street, Bir mingham, has lately been suffering from a most severe illness. Several eminent med"cal gentlemen having pronounced her case as hopeless, she was persuaded to try OLD PARR'S LIFE PILLS; after per. severing for a short time, she was most wonderfhlly restored to good health. She adds that she will answer any inquiries with much pleasure. MRS. ANN ARUNDEL, Leylands, Leeds, after being confined of twins, thirty years ago, had a bad leg, which has continued almost without intermission, until a few months ago : she has had the best medical advice her circumstances could command, but all proved un availing: she was strongly recommended to try PARR'S LIFE PI , LS, when, after taking three boxes, her leg healed up, and has continued sound ever since. Feeling truly grateful for such a cure, she is wishful to make it known, and will be glad to answer any in quiries. he REV. MR. CLEMENT:"ON, of Horncastle, is taking PARR'S LIFE PILLS, and recommends them to all his friends. He says there is more real benefit in relieving and assisting the constitution in OLD PARR'S TILLS than any other medicine he ever took, and they have been of essential benefit to numbers of his friends who have tried them. _ . ECONOMY.—Economy should be practised in all things, but more Pantie larly in matt( rs of medicine. The restoration to health has generally been purchased at a costly price; .ini certainly if health could not be procured 3t any other rate, a costly price should not be - a n object of reruple. But %here is the wisdom, where is the economy hi sPeneing vast sums on a physician's attendance , whe n sound health cad long life may be ensured by the cheap , safe , a nd simple remedy or PARR'S LIFE PILLS.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, f:octor of Medicine, and 3latric•dated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the Londoq Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. tut AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on VIL 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-acqaired miseries 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-iodulgence how these penalties may be mitigated, how th e st i ng of their bitterness may be removel, scarcely land a it s ny co d n e , c e i g e t e le o n f ee p s h m ys a i y eal be i a n v a o rm ide it d y , a o a r d f a u b n o c how the ere i ai d hn e a r d a t ngement to which the tim e ly a id of science cannot apply avteieoulailriaei DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a lo ng ser i es 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 thi 4 depai tment of practice, he has been amply rev 4 arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these c.;.ses, 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 IL, and advice and medicines can be 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.

THE DRUNKEN CONTROVERSY.—A rather amusing con troversy is at present being carried on between the two cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow ; and the point in dis pute relates to the respective intemperance of the inha bitants. A short time ago a Parliamentary return was printed, on the motion of Mr. Hume, which contained some important statistics with respect to the amount of drunkenness existing in several cities of both England and Scotland ; and from some researches which have been since made by Lord Provost 14E`Laren, it would seem that the returns for the city of Edinburgh were very incorrect. Hence the quarrel originated, and a considerable amount of labour has been employed by the partisans of their respective cities to make out as bad a case as possible for their opponents. The North British Daily Mail, which devotes two columns to the subject, has the following extract from the Scotsman :—" We do not care to plunge into the details—we are willing, in the meanwhile, to take the Edinburgh Return as aggre gated by our Lord Provost ; only we must also, on the grounds already stated, take the Glasgow Return in its corrected form. The figures then assume this very ugly form :—Edinburgh, 9,318 cases in 166,000 of population, or 1 in 18 ; Glasgow, 26,000 cases in 333,657 of popula tion, or lin 13. This is what our Glasgow friends have to thank our Lord Provost for. His lordship's attempt was, not to raise Glasgow, but to lower Edinburgh— a nd there we are, Edinbu rg h low, but Glasgow lower still." THE GOOD OLD WINTERS.—In 401, the Black Sea was entirely frozen over. In 763, not only the Black Sea but the Straits of Dardanelles were frozen over ; the snow in some places rose fifty feet high. In 822, -the great rivers of Europe, the Danube, the Elbe, &c., were so hard frozen as to bear heavy waggons for a month. In 860, the Adriatic was frozen. In 991, everything was frozen ; the crops totally failed, and famine and pestilence close the year. In 1067, most of the travellers in Ger many were frozen to death on the roads. In 1133 the Po wa s frozen from Cremona to the sea ; the wine casks were burst, and the trees split by the action of the frost, w ith immense noise. In 1236 the Danube was f rozen to the bottom, and remained long in that stator In 1316 the crops wholly failed in Germany ; wheat, which some years before sold in England at 6s. the perished r s 4 h 3 e 2 d . 3.4 miserably were un commonly a famine ensued that the poor were land and d ros s e ue t 2/.

In 1468, the wine distributed to the soldiers winters in Flanders was cut with hatchets. In 1683, the winter was excessively cold. Most of the hollies were killed. Coaches drove along the Thames, the ice of which was 11 inches thick. In 1709 occurred the cold winter. The frost penetrated 3 yards into the ground. In 1716, booths were erected and fairs held on the Thames. In 1744 and 1745, the strongest ale in England, exposed to the air, was covered in less than 15 minutes with ice the eighth of an inch thick. In 1809, and again in 1812, the win ters were remarkably cold. In 1814 there was a fair on tho frozen Thames. WIDENING OF THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—It is stated that, in consequence of the daily increasing traffic on this line, and the delays which at present occur for the want of room to accommodate the immense number of trains which come in almost every minute from the main line itself and its numerous con nexions, to the London te rm i nus , t h e di rec t ors have de termined to double the width of the railway at the Lon don end, and should that not be sufficient, to proceed further. The line, which is the widest in the kingdom from Euston-square to Primerose•hill, is to be doubled in width from the latter place to Willesden, so as to enable it from that point to afford accommodation for nearly double as many trains as at present. - ' [A summary of the following appeared in The Sun of yesterday.], LIVERPOOL, MARCH 31. By the arrival of the United States' Mail steamer Pacific, Nye commander, we have advices from New York to the 19th inst. Sh 4 brought 93 pas sengers, but no specie. I. . The Royal Mail steamer eanada, from this port, arrived at Halifax on the 18th inst. The steamer Ohio had arrived it New York with the California 'mails of the 16t10f-February, and $2,446,875 in gold dust on freiiat. Her advices have, however, been anticipated..' The discussion on the Clayton and Bulwer Treaty had again been resumed ill, the Senate. A. very extensive debate took placejbetween Messrs. Douglas, Clayton, Bulwer, and several other mem bers. In the course of the debate Mr. Douglas made some - very derogatory remarks relative to . England, which were replied to . Messrs. Clay ton and Butler. Mr. Douglake' d,.and further f lie y, explained his views. He also Sai :.--- 4 , We should never make a treaty we can faith fully execute it. He did not argue it favour of violat ing any treaty. The seliator says we ought to love England because she is our mother. 'Throw, it is hard to tell who our mother was. W-4 have a great many mothers. We have here English, Iripi,,tcotch, French, Norman, Spanish—every kind 91 des tte4 . All we have found valuable in England weiltave4dbpted, and that which was injurious we have rejecte#s.4 did•not speak in terms of unkindness to England, but, in speaking .O 1 monuments, the point I made was this—that we should not shut our eyes to . the fac that the policy which Eng- I land is pursuing has its origin in hostility towards us, and is not to enhance our interests. While the Senator spoke of England pouring in her streams of refreshing intelligence, I thought that the stream of abolition, treason, and insurrection which she had poured into South Carolina and other slaveholding States of this Union would at least excuse him from endorsing these streams of literature under the name of " Uncle Tom's Cabin," and other works—(tremendous applause in the gallery, and cries of ' Good, good,')—works libelling us and our institutions, and holding us up to the hate and prejudice of the world. While engaged in this he was the last to compliment her for her refreshing streams of literature. (Renewed applause.) ' ." The chair suppressed the disorder, and ordered the galleries to be cleared. "M. Adams.—l hope they will be cleared. "Mr. Douglas.—l hope they will. " Mr. Butler.—When I spoke of gratitude, I spoke of those things in which we have a common interest. Ido not thank the Senator for going out of his way and in dicating impure streams. I spoke of the streams which authors and orators have poured out upon us, which I hope have been refreshing to him and the intelligence of the age. I did not expect a miserable allusion to "Uncle Tom's Cabin." It was ad captandum, and not manly made. . _ " Mr. Douglas.—l spoke of terms of reverence and respect of the monuments of statesmen in England, of patriotism, legal learning, science, and literature—of all that was great, noble, and admirable. I did not expect statesmen to go back two or three centuries to justify the aggressions of the present age. And when I heard the plaudits relative to the past, I thought I had a right to allude to the present enormities of England. " Mr. Butler.—l should like to know how England is responsible for "Uncle Tom's Cabin?" If the Senator takes the sickly sentimentality of the clay as an exponent of the English heart and literature, very well. I alluded to our commercial relations with England, and our con nection as a civilised nation, and would the Senator post pone her ? " Mr. Douglas.—l would postpone her, or give her a greater preference than other nations, but treat her as duty requires. " Mr. Butler.—We can find sickly sentimentality everywhere, such as the Maine Liquor Law, and all that. (Laughter.) " Mr. tCla,yton replied to Mr. Douglas, and repeated the arguments heretofore advanced by him in justifica tion of his course lii`negotiating the Bulwer and Clayton treaty. He . contended he had proVed from the testi mony-of the most distinguished statesmen who ever lived, that the exclusive privilege of making the ship canal was =not to be desired, and that the true principle is to nego tiate for all nations to pass that great highway on the same terms. The Senator boasts that we are a great, a giant republic, and the Senator himself is said to be a little giant—(laughter)---and everything which he talks about is gigantic. (Renewed laughter.) He . (Mr. Clayton) concurred in the remarks of Secretary Everett relative to Cuba, and in the course of President Fillmore respecting that island. He knew how easy it was to excite prejudice against England, and, as a reply to the Senator's observations on that head, hued to be read a portion of Washington's Farewell Address, with a view of refreshing the Senate." The further discussion of the question was ad• ourned until the 21st inst. Halifax accounts of the 17th inst. state-that the attempt to obtain a charter from the Provincial Parliament for an opposition telegraph line from Halifax to the boundary of New Brunswick met with a signal failure by a vote of 67 to 16. The applicants for the charter vainly endeavoured to excite a prejudice against the present telegfhph company, of which the Hon. S. Cunard is president, on the ground of its alleged partiality to the New York Associated Press. Our accounts from Jamaica are to the 9th inst. The proceedings in the Jamaica Assembly were of an uninteresting character. There had been a de bate on the subject of retrenchment, but it was ad journed to the 23d inst. There was no alteration to report in the Jamaica markets. Private letters from Belize, Honduras, to the 19th of February, confirm the accounts received rid New Orleans of trouble on the Mosquito coast. The letters do not, however, give the particulars. In relation to the above, the New York Herald publishes the following letter, under date Belize; Honduras, February 24 : " Her Majesty's war steamer Devastation came down here, and, after having taken on board the superinten dent and his secretary, she proceeded to the town of Truxillo, where they finally offered to the Government of that town for the State of Honduras, as an ultimatum, that they must decide in two hours either to give up the territory to the parties from whom they had taken it, or to stand the consequences, which were supposed by. the Honduranoes to be hot shells and cannon balls. " So they decided to give up to superior force ; at the same time they solemnly protested against the conduct of her Majesty's Superintendent, the officers of the De vastation, and the Government of England, asserting. their inalienable right to the country, and declaring that they only gave up to superior force under compulsion ; that they only promised not to interfere with British subjects because they were not able to drive them away ; and, finally, appealed to Almighty God to witness the outrage and punish the nation which thus, at the mouth of her cannon, despoiled them of their territory." Late advices from Bermuda state that Vice-Ad miral Sir George F. SeymouT was still at that island, where he would prol*bly remain for a month or two longer, and then proceed to Halifax. His flag-ship, the Cumberland, had arrived at Ber muda from Hava,nnah. Her Majesty's brig Per sian was also there. The ship Edward arrived at Bermuda from England on the 3d with 244 convicts on board. From Havannah we have advices to the 13th inst. The latest accounts from Matanzas state there were but very faint hopes of the recovery of Vice- President King. The commissioners—at the head of whom is Signor Espino—deputed to meet Santa Anna and invite him to return to Mexico, had ar rived at Havannah, on their way to Carthagena. The Royal Mail steam-ship Dee arrived at Havan nah on the 13th from Vera Cruz. Her passengers reported that the general impression in Mexico was that Santa Anna would not proceed directly there, but await in Havannah the formation of an army, which was being got together to support his views. Seven States had voted for him for Presi dent ; the other States had not been heard from, with the exception of Puebla, which had declared against him. A very decided majority of the people of Mexico were in favour of his return to power. Late accounts from San Juan Fernandez bring news of an intended outbreak among the prisoners of that island. Their intention was to kill the Governor and make themselves masters of the island, to seize one of the vessels in the harbour, and sail for other parts. The Governor, however, received timely information. The ringleaders were arrested and four of them shot on the spot. From Mexico we have filesiof the Vera Cruz Eco del Comercio to the 4th inst. The Eco publishes from the Orden, of Mexico, the following : " Senor Munoz Ledo, one of the present Cabinet, has certainly determined to be the evil genius of our coun try, since his great desire is to place obstacles in the way of everything. He it was who ) reta r d e d th e revo l u ti on of Jalisco, acting with Don Mariano Arista, and against General Uraga ; he it was who retarded the regulation of the Tehuantepec affair in a 'manner which does him little honour, and which, had it not been for Senor Cevallos, would have embroiled us in a war with the United States. Lastly, he wishes, at the present mo ment, to initiate a civil war." The Universal says that there were rumours of disagreement between the President and the chiefs of division§ in the capital ; that Senor Uraga was opposed to dispatching on pluanajuato the forces destined to subdue that point ; that resistance came from the troops themselves, supported on the plan Another account says that General Blancarte had eft Mexico with a brigade of 1,500 men and six . pieces of artillery to bring to terms the... State of Guanajuato, which would not adopt the revolution. Senor Don Ignacio Mora. Villamil had arrived at Tehuantepee ' 'comm issioned by the Mexican Govern -mentto delive/a4p.the Isthmus to the representative of the Sloo Company. Our miscellaneous items are. interesting. A man named Alfred Spring had been arrested on suspicion of being, the murderer of the two women at Phila delphia: Three failures of houses in the provision trade at Baltimore are reported. The aggregate liabilities, however, were not large, being put down at about $250,000 to $300,000, and it was believed they would be able to pay from 50 to 75 cents on the dollar. The navigation of the Hudson river was expected to be resumed in a few days, and it was thought that the lakes would soon open for navi gation. Large fires had occurred at Buffalo, Troy, Newhaven, Boston, and• Rochester. At Buffalo the lees sustained was $lO,OOO ; at Troy, 45,000 ; at _Newhaven, $16,000 ;• and at Rochester, 'slo,ooo. The sales of cotton at New Orleans- during the week ending the 12th inst. amounted to 80,000 bales, valued at • $3,000,000. A Baltimore me: chanic had applied for space in the New York Crystal Palace to erect a steam engine, which he asserts will carry a steam-ship across the Atlantic in 36 hours. The British ships America and Bel --moriti---wiritir-lim&butsh on fire -- atNetv - Orleans, were not so greatly injured as at first supposed ; and the cotton being pressed would not be damaged more than 20 per cent. The steamer Bee had ex ploded her boilers on the Ohio river, killing four persons, and dangerously scalding five others. Mr. Meagher was lecturing in several cities in the United States to crowded audiences. It was thought that the clipper ship Atalanta, ashore off the Highlands of Neversink, would be got off with out much damage. She had made the run from, Canton to where she struck, within a few miles of New York, in the short space of 84 days—the quickest passage ever made. .Her cargo of silks, teas, &c., is said to be worth upwards of $200,000. There was no material change to notice in the New York stock or money markets. Great diffi culty was experienced in the negotiation of second class paper, for which the rates vary from 12 to 15 per cent. ; first-class mercantile paper was taken at the discount houses to-day at 9 to 10 per cent. ; good business paper, which in an easy con dition of the money market is acceptable amon g the banks, is thus thrown into private channels at a severe loss. Loans on call on good securities were made at 7 per cent. Foreign exchange dull. We quote bankers' bills—London, 109 to 109 ; Paris, 5 13i to 5 15 ; Amsterdam, 401 to 40 ; Hamburgh, 36± to 361; Bremen, 79i to 7 9. ; Frankfort, 40k- to 40/. Cotton was in im proved demand, the advices by telegraph of a large falling off in the . receipts of the ports having brought buyers freely into the market, and the sales for the past three days have been 12,000 bales, closing with an advance of A cent. on our previous quotations. The sales of the week are 13,000 bales, independent of 7,000 bales which were sold on private terms. The flour market remained in an unsettled state, and prices were again lower.

It is hoped by all persons connected with the trade of Australia, that soon after the re-assembling of Parlia ment some definite information will be obtained as to the position of the question regarding the establishment of a mint in New South Wales. All that is understood at present is, that the Home Government will offer no op position to the proposal, but will simply enforce a stipu lation that the sovereigns and half-sovereigns to be coined shall have some distinctive mark to denote their place of origin. The mercantile community, however, are anxious to know whether any steps are in progress on this %ide to facilitate the wishes of the colonists, and if so, whether an opinion can be formed as to the period when the entire arrangements are likely to be completed. From the new blue-book just published on the gold dis coveries, it appears that on the 12th of August last, Governor Fitzroy transmitted from Sydney a minute of the Legislative Council, to the effect that immediate . steps should be taken for the establishment of a branch of the Royal Mint at that place, and that it should be on the largest scale described by Sir John Herschell, costing 10,0001. for engines and machinery and 20,0001. for buildings, so that by means of three presses it might be capable of coining the whole of the probable annual yield both of New South Wales and Victoria. In this resolution, which was followed by another, that applica tion should be made, through the Secretary of State, to the Master of the Royal Mint to select the principal officers and skilled workmen that might be necessary, the Governor himself concurred, and subsequently, in a dispatch to Sir John Pakington, dated the 2d of Novem ber, he notified that a remittance had been made of 10,0001. "for the purpose of meeting the cost of the machinery and apparatus to be procured in England." This 10,000/. was received more than two months ago, and it would therefore appear that measures for sending out the requisite articles may not only be in progress but near completion. Meanwhile, however, a company is applying for a charter with a view to furnish each of the colonies with an independent mint by private en terprise, and the perplexity of the public as to what is really intended is proportionably increased. There can be no objection to such a speculation, but the thing to be wished is, that whatever may be determined upon will be accomplished without delay, and that conflicting pro posals will not be made a plea - for doing nothing. The general policy of establishing a mint admits of no dispute, although an over-estimate may have been formed in some instances of its probable effects ; and if prompt steps had been taken when they were urged nearly two years back, an enormous risk and temporary waste of capital might have been averted. Of course, the advan tages now to be gained from it will be only moderate, as a sufficient supply of coin has probably already been re ceived for local wants. With the increase of trade and population, however, these wants will constantly fluc tuate, and it would be most injurious to the colonists that in such cases they should still have to depend upon supplies from England. In the United States, with the head mint at Philadelphia, a branch mint has always been deemed necessary at New Orleans, and ample expe rience can therefore be quoted to confirm the opinion as to what is requisite for a territory so distant as Austra lia. The true reason, however, for the disposition on the part of many people to treat the idea of establishing a mint in that region with indifference is to be found in the fact, that both in the colonies and at home there are large classes who profit by its absence. Merchants, shipowners, and others, gain by the prevailing system, while the community at large are the sufferers. Perhaps, however ' the extent to which business is likely to be checked by the discovery of the wholesale adulterations lately practised will henceforth render even these parties anxious that the matter should no longer be neglected.— Times. EXPENSIVE CONVERSION.—We read in the Maar of Algiers :—" In the reign of Braham-ben-Mamlouk, in 1819, a Jew became a Mussulman, under the name of Abd-Allah. Some years after he married an Arab woman, who died without leaving him any children. He afterwards married another Mussulman woman, by whom he has a daughter two years old. Every one thought this man sincerely, converted to Islamism, when a few days back a rumour was current that he had again returned to the religion of Moses. This news turned out to be true, as the following strange ceremonies, we are informed, took place on his reception. The Rabbis commenced by cutting the nails of his hands and feet as close as possible to the flesh ; they then had his head shaved, only two locks of hair being left, .one at each side of the head. He next was made to take a cold bath in a vessel kept in the synagogue, and if he is really con verted, he is to proceed there for six months at least, anditake a similar bath every morning at break of day. During this bath some eggs were broken on his bead, which was then carefully washed. On hisleaving the bath a shirt was placed on him, and forty blows of a stick were administered to him on the back. He was then placed in a hole, and every one present threw a small stone at him. This operation being terminated, new clothes were given him, and the old ones were burned. He was, in addition, ordered to fast for a certain length of time. Finally, he has been directed to whitewash his shop in the Rue Combes, and to perfume it, and all the merchandise which it contains, with incense, During a period of seven days he is to eat ashes, to purify his body. The Jews are tormenting him to make his daugh ter also change her religion, declaring that without that act nothing will have been done." SPREAD OF THE RAPPING DELUSION.—The Cincin natti Times says there are 59 " spiritual circles" regu larly organised in that city, and more than twice that number occasionally meeting. The number of mediums is stated at 310. FRENCH SHlPS.—Official returns received by the. Minister of Marine from the French consul at New castle, show that the number of French vessels (arrivals and departures) which appeared in that port and neigh bouring ones, during the year I.Bs2;i+as 2,;652,-ganging 224,942 tons, being an increase - over the preceding . year of 206 vessels and 18,338 tons. The greater part of these vessels came in without cargoes to carry away coals, The usual loyal toasts were received 'by the company with great enthusiasm, and then The CHAIRMAN gave "The health of Sir W. Moles worth," whom he said they had assembled to compliment in the way most consonant to their feelings, by, giving him a public dinner. It had hitherto been considered an anomaly that a Cabinet Minister should represent a constituency which was. designated as Radical, and it had been made a subject of lamentation that a Radical like Sir W. Molesworth would inoculate the Cabinet with his principles. The fears thus expressed were not partici pated in by the electors of Southwark, but they - did hope that the Liberal element admitted into the Administra tion, begun by a drop, would soon form an essential portion of its composition. (Cheers.), . The time had passed when the destinies of the empire were to be swayed by party tactics, for,•by the mighty influence of a free press, the people were able to form a fair and im partial judgment on all questions that affected them. Public opinion now exercised, as it henceforth • always must, a great power in all the affairs of the. State, and large, and liberal, and free constituencies felt that the time had arrived when the corruption prevailing in small boroughs; of which thbre hml-been - such recent exposures, must be terminated. He would not detain them by al luding to the qualities of the right hon. baronet who sat beside him, but he believed that he was actuated by tho roughly independent principles in taking office, and that he would not remain there if doing so required any sacrifice of his political convictions. He believed that the affection and confidence of the constituency of South wark were dearer to Sir William Molesworth than the position which he occupied, and he asked the company with great confidence to drink Sir William's health, and to join in the wish that he might long remain their representative, and not only a Cabinet but a Radical Minister. (Cheers.) Sir W. MOUSWORTH, who was received with loud ap plause, then rose and said—l am excessively obliged to you for the flattering manner in which you have received me this evening and drunk to my health. It gives me great pleasure and satisfaction to meet on this occasion so many of my friends and cordial supporters, to whom I am so deeply indebted, and who have exerted them selves so repeatedly and energetically to place me in the honourable position of representative of this borough— a position which I have now held for eight years, an d which I hope, with your favour and aid, long to con tinue to hold. (Cheers.) I thank you for the honour which you have done me by giving this dinner to cele brate my re-election. When, in accordance with the wise rules of the constitution of this country my seat was vacated by taking office, and it was my duty to ap pear before you and to ask you again to trust me as your representative, I stated to you in general terms the views and intentions with which I accepted office under the Crown. I need not now repeat those state ments ; for, in fact, the time has come for deeds instead of words—for actions in the place of professions. (Cheers.) We are in the middle of a session of Parlia ment, and I think it must be admitted that since Par liament reassembled in the beginning of last month, neither the House of Commons nor her Majesty's Mi nisters have been altogether idle. I will therefore very shortly refer to some of the things which have lately been done in Parliament, and which show the objects, the in tentions, and the principles of the present Government. Gentlemen, chiefly in consequence of free trade and of the wise financial policy which originated with Sir R. Peel, this country is now in a most flourishing condition, our artisans of every kind are well employed ; industry of every descrip tion is thriving ; peace, plenty, and contentment reign throughout the land. Therefore her Majesty's Ministers were able to turn their attention, in the first instance, to the affairs of our remoter dependencies, and they com menced their Parliamentary labours by bringing in a measure of much importance to the greatest of our colo nies—a measure of which I had given notice before the resignation of the late Government,—l refer to the bill with regard to the clergy reserves of Canada. The ob ject of that bill is to empower the Legislature of Canada to deal with the local question of church establishments in that colony. Two years ago the Legislature of that great colony, which contains nearly 2,000,000 of inhabi tants, addressed the Crown to submit to Parliament a bill similar to that now before the House of Commons. The Governmentof-my noble friend Lord John Russell promised to do so, and were about to do so, when they quitted office. The late Government, partly animated by old and not very friendly faaling towardo Canada, determined to set at nought the wishes of the Canadian Legislature, and refused to fulfil the promises of their predecessors. It was the first duty of the present Go vernment—and an agreeable one it was—to redeem those pledges, and to apply to Canada the great, the true, and all-important rule of colonial policy—namely, that all questions which affect exclusively the local in terests of BP colony possessing representative institutions shall be dealt with by the local Legislature. (Cheers.) That rule should, in my opinion, form the basis of our system of colonial government. The strict adherence to it would, more than anything else, tend to strengthen and consolidate our vast colonial empire which now contains every climate of the earth—which is capable of producing every commodity that is useful or agree able or beneficial to man—which is in the act of being rapidly peopled by myriads of our race, speaking our language, with wants, feelings, and tastes similar to our own—anxious to exchange the produce of their new homes for the creations of our unrivalled skill and manu facturing industry—willing to carry on with us an im mense and increasing and a mutually beneficial com merce, but, like true Englishmen, desiring to have the management of their local affairs, and to possess Anglo- Saxon institutions. (Cheers.) With such institutions the colonists would long continue to be loyal and de voted subjects of the British Crown. Therefore, to give them such institutions should be the great object of the colonial policy of this country, and as the great object of the colonial policy of her Majesty's present Ministers, and especially of my noble friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies, who is a sincere, zealous, and deter mined colonial reformer. (Cheers.) One of the first official acts of my noble friend was to frame, with the cordial approbation of his colleagues, a constitution for the colony of the Cape of Good Hope. A constitution ought to have been given to that colony at least eight years ago ; but Lord Derby, who was then Secretary of State for the Colonies, refused to comply with the wishes and entreaties of the Governor of the Cape. And when Lord Derby's late Government came into power, they raised every obstacle, and discovered every difficulty, in the way of granting free institutions to South Africa. But my noble friend's energy soon removed every one of those obstacles, and overcame every one of those diffi culties ; and an order in Council has lately been sent to the Cape conferring a most liberal constitution upon that colony, from which I anticipate the happiest con sequences. (Cheers.) In accordance, also, with the same true principles of colonial policy, my noble friend has complied with the prayers of the petitions which have been addressed to the Crown and Parliament by the Legislatures of the four great colonies of Austra lia, and, by abolishin g transportation to Van Dieman's Land, has put a stop to the sending of convicts to the goldfields of Australia, and to the rewarding of our criminals by a passage free of expense to the diggings. I (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen,•l do rejoice at the abolition of transportation to these colonies, because, 16 years ago, I was chairman of a committee of the House of Commons appointed to inquire into the subject of trans portation, and those inquiries convinced me that trans portation to the great colonies of Australia ought to be abolished ; and for 16 years I have done my beat to bring about a result the accomplishment of which, I am glad to say, has been one of the first acts of the present Government (Cheers.) The second Parliamentary act of the present Government, to which I will refer, has been to bring in a bill to remove what I consider to be a great stigma and a foul disgrace to the institutions of this country—l mean the disabilities of the Jews, an odious relic of bigotry and intolerance, unworthy of this age, unworthy especially of this empire, and which de prives this metropolis of one of its representatives . in Parliament. I hope that this measure, • which has so frequently received the assent of the House of onse: Com mons, and so particularly concerns the Lo wer thewil l good n not again annhe eprudence, rejectedrnbanydthienteUlplipgeernnHaonufset,hbaut but that ce, will induce them to set this question at rest for ever. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, the estimate for the military and naval expenditure of this country was a third subject which has been lately brought before the House of Com mons by her Majesty's Ministers. After careful consi deration the Government came to the conclusion that it was not necessary to increase the amou nt - of our mili tary or naval forces, or to add to the number i of s our in tern so ldiers or sailors ; for we do be n o o n t w rwri i a sehyo al with t toy t assailoterms any with coun a t l ry affa o i. or to We etedrLeirree to n n any the established Government (whatever it may be) of every European nation ; but at . the same time the Government felt it to be their duty to render this country unassailable by improving our defences—a ne cessary but costly work. The conduct of the Govern ment in this matter has received the most decided mark of the approbation of the House of Commons, for the army, navy, and ordnance estimates have passed without opposition, and almost without discussion. (Hear, hear.) In mentioning our foreign relation, I can not help referring to some lamentable events which have lately occurred abroad—l mean the deplorable insurrec tion at Milan and the execrable attempt to assassinate the Emperor of Austria. Those events have been attri buted by writers in foreign newspapers to the intrigues and machinations of political refugees in this country ; and it has been said that the Government of this country ought to expel those refugees. But the Government has no power to do anything of the kind ; they have no intention to ask Parliament to give them any such power they have no wish to possess or exercise such a power. {Cheers.) For this country has been, and I hope will long continue to be 3 an asylum for men of every political, faith. It has afforded shelter by turns to every van quis-liFd—p-arty7l-tifd---even to our bitterest foes. It has given equal security to the friends of liberty and to the friendi of despotism, to the Bourbon and to the Red Republican-to the Orleanist and to the Socialist—to Metternich, Kossuth, and Mazzini—to Joinville, Louis Blanc, and Ledru Rollin. But I must express the same opinion as my noble friend Lord Palmerston did, in reply - to a question which was put to him in the House of Commons, that foreign re f ugees, in:accepting the .hospitality of this country, are bound_ by . every prin ciple of honour to abttain from entering into intrigues, and from attempting to disturb the tranquillity of other countries, and that if they do not do so abstain they deserve the severest censure and condemnation. (iiear, hear.) Gentlemen, in speaking of the - ' various matters which have already occupied the attention of the House of Commons, there is one of great. im portance, which must still more occupy the attention of Parliament and of the whole nation—l allude to the proceedings before the election committees. The investi gations of those - committees have disclosed the existence at the last general election of hideous scenes of bribery, corruption, intimidation, undue and disgraceful influence of every kind, sort, and description—exercised, I am sorry to say, in some instances by persons too closely connected with the late Government of this country. (Hear ' hear.) How to put a atop to these l amen table, these loathsome evils, is a problem not •of the easiest solution ; but a stop must -be put to them, for their un checked continuance would bring discredit upon repre sentative government, and endanger 14 , instituti ons o f this country ; and if those institu tions ever perish, they will die, not front external causes, but from the cancer of corruption consuming the vitals of Our electoral system. (Hear.) A •remedy must be found and ap plied, and a potent one it must be. A new Reform Bill, the disfranchisement of the corrupt constituencies, and, in my opinion, the ballot, Are wanted. (Cheers.) But until the election committees have all reported, and the commissions appointed to inquire into the.corrupt con stituencies have concluded their investigations, and those investigations have been carefully considered, it seems to be the general opinion that it would not be expedient for the Government to bring in a new Reform Bill, and that it had better, therefore, be left for next session, especially as there are several other important questions which must occupy the attention of Parliament during the greater portion of the .renaainder of this session. Those questions-aro-the education of the people, the budget, and the government of India. My noble friend Lord John Russell will on Monday next bring the ques tion of the education of the people under the considera tion of the House of Commons, and state the intentions of the Government. The Chancellor of the Exchequer will, as soon as he can, bring on the budget, and state his views on the income tax ; and the question of the future government of India must be raised this session, as the charter of the East India Company will expire at the beginning of next year. - Until the Government shall have announced to Parliament their intentions on these subjects it would, you know, be indiscreet and contrary to all the rules of etiquette for me to discuss them. (Hear.) I will therefore consent myself with say ing that the measures of the Government will, I hope, give satisfaction to their friends and supporters. Now, gentlemen, let me again thank you for the manner in which you have received me this evening. I hope that I shall continue to deserve your approbation and to retain your confidence, andthat again and again I shall receive at your hands, as the reward of my political conduct, the distin guished, and by me most highly prized, honour of repre senting you in Parliament. I know that there is only one way by which I can deserve the approbation and retain the confidence of the numerous and intelligent electors of this great and important constituency, and that is, by showing that I am sincerely and earnestly anxious, to the best of my power, ability, and judgment, to give prudent and practical effect to those political prieciples which have induced you four times to return me to the House of Commons. (Cheers.) And I am convinced that you, prudent and practical men of busi ness, will pronounce a fair and candid judgment on my conduct in office, believing that my colleagues and my self have only one object in view—namely, the good government of this mighty empire, and the well-being of iEs inhabitants. (Loud cheers.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL acknowledged 'the toast of "The House of Commons," with which his name was associated by the chairman. He said that, however unworthy he might be of the honour thus paid him, in on 3 respect he merited it, for no man could be more de voted than he was to the sacred principle of popular re presentation. In that principle was involved the hap piness and welfare of the empire. Within the last few years a storm had burst over Europe, and the waves of democracy had threatened at one time to sweep away all existing institutions, but these had been since rolled back, and the stagnant waters of despotism again covered the fair face of the continent. (Hear.) Eng land was the last stronghold—the sacred altar of liberty and freedom of opinion—our constitution wisely tem pered the ardour and vigour of democracy with the more stable institution of monarchical government, but popu lar representation especially he regarded as being the basis of peace, good order, prosperity, and freedom among us. (Cheers.) The time had come when that principle must be carried out to a still further extent, and when, as had been said by the chairman, they must have another "Russell purge." The company would remember the story of the medical man who sent the prescription with his medicine, " when taken to be well shaken." (Laughter.) Members of Parliament were being well shaken at present, and happy the man who. came out of the ordeal unscathed. (Cheers _AA- Jaughter--) - " Let the galled jade wince, His withers were unwrung;" and he defied any man to say that he had tampered with the elements of corruption, (Cheers.) He felt that he ought not to tresspass further upon their patience, and he concluded by expressing a hope that the constituency might long be represented by such a member, and such a member long represent such a constituency. Mr. A. PiileiT acknowledged the toast of Pros perity to the Trade and Commerce of the Borough," and in doing so dwelt strongly on the necessity of providing Southwark with municipal institutions. The health of the High Bailiff and of the Chairman were among the other toasts of the evening, the proceed ings of which were enlivened by some excellent vocal music, controlled and directed by Harker, the toast master. SHOCK OF AN EARTHQUAKE A 7 HEREFORD. We have again to record the shock of an earthquake, which was felt very generally through this city and its neighbourhood on the night of Sunday last, at about 20 minutes after 11 o'clock. The present visitation was not only more perceptible than that experienced in Nov. last, but, from the time at which it occurred, a greater number of persons had visible proof of its effects, felt the shock, and heard its accompanying noise or explosion. We have heard from a great number of persons (all agreeing as to the time) the various sensations produced. Those who were in beds felt their beds move, and beard a noise as it a door were suddenly closed by a gust of wind, and the house consequently shaken. Those who had not retired to rest felt the shock, saw articles of fur niture move, and heard the explosion. At the city prison, the inspector and serjeant of police saw a table in the room shaken, by which a glass of water thereon was spilled, they heard a loud noise similar to a cart passing near, and on the inspector looking at his watch, he found the time to be twenty minutes past 11 o'clock. There were several parties in other parts of the town who experienced similar alarming evidences of a shock, and the policeman on duty distinctly heard a rumbling noise, and felt slight shocks and other indications of an earthquake. We hear of many persons who were so alarmed on being awoke that sleep was afterwards banished, and they arose and dressed themselves in fear and trembling. Others rung their chamber bells, be hl ie a v d i grotkheaitn into some o m t h e e re houses n u s s e s w . e r e E x i ti c e t p h t e itrhaep fright, artm en t h s, o w o r_ ever, we are glad not to have heard of any injury to per son or property. On the banks of the Wye the shock appears to have been more violent ; Mr. Bottrel, of the Friars, informs us that his house was so much disturbed, and the report so loud, that lie immediately got up, be lieving there were robbers effecting an entrance to the I premises. Several persons in the vicinity of the river describe the shock as if their beds were lifted up, and the sound immediately succeeding as of a violent shaking of doors and windows. At Broomy-hill a person was dis turbed by feeling the bed move, and hearing a noise simi lar to the falling of a heavy fg p woe i i e fat c heg e hl a s o a fosit)usisnmeairnbbvdeleirrn:. chinag n I T ho n i wse s e e a, v sa e ds r i a si parts t l i passingn tlyof heard, u th n e d e r townilet accompaniedh house o j u i n s g e i o n liarold, Peterchurch, inha bitants of the parishes of Evrys,s, Kentchurch, Abbeydore, and Llanvihangel, seem to have been generally aroused by the shock. We learn from the respected vicar of the first-ua,med.parish that, not guessing the fact, and being awoke with a siolent_shak ing, similar to the shutting of an outside door, and the windows rattling, he went down stairs to examine the premises ; and all w i th whom he afterwar d s converse d described the sh oc k in the same manner. Th e weather, like the wind, has as been variable during the past few days. O n Saturday it was fair, but extremely cold, with the wind on Sunday at times it was very warm, the wind during the day being nearly westerly, or veer ing a point or two towards the north. The night was extremely dark, and the wind shifted to the east, where it remained during Monday. It will be remembered that the earthquake felt on the morning of Tuesday, the 9th of November, was succeeded by disastrous floods and long-continued rain ; the effects of which are not yet removed in many places. What will follow the late earthquake remains to be proved. The vibration lasted for about three seconds, and is generally described as proceeding from south to north.—Hereford Journal. AN INGENIOUS DEVICE.--The custom house officers stationed at Wallers have just made an important seizure. A cart drawn by four horses, and apparently laden with coal, came from the Belgian frontier, and drew up at the custom-house to be examined and obtain the usual pass. One of the officers, in verifying the con tents of the cart, put his hands on what he thought to be an enormous block of coal, and to his great surprise found that he could lift it without difficulty, This led to a minute examination, when what appeared to be large masses of that combustible, turned out to be boxes in geniously coated over with coal, which was attached to them by some kind of cement. The cart in this way contained about 2,000 kilogrammes of tobacco, and several thousands of excellent cigars. The cart and horses were also seized. DREADFUL STORM.—A most destructive storm swept over Columbus, Ga., on the 10th inst. The damage, it is estimated, will amount to 250,000 dollars. The tele graph line between Columbus and Alexandria was com pletely demolished for several miles, but has again been put in working order. NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF "THE INITIALS."
