The vital principle is contained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise from the impurity of the blood ; or, in other words, from acrimonious htunours lodged in the body. - 5. This humour, which degenerates the blood, has three sources— the maternine, the contagious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may, therefore, -be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectual mode of eradicating disease. S. Experience of upwards of 20 years has amply proved " Mo rison's Vegetable Universal Medicines" to be such proper vegetable purgatives. 9. From the intimate connection subsisting between the mind and body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other. Hygeism—The science of health. Ilygeist— A promoter of health. Hygelan—Pertaining to the science of health. These terms have not been adopted through an affectation of sin gularity, but merely for the sake of drawing a sufficiently broad line of demarkation between the old and new schools. Read the " Morismnana." B RITISH COLLEGE of HEALIIII, New road, London. An attempt is now being made by a portion of the medical press to prejudice the cause of lijgeism, in the following specious manner. The public is aware that for many years Hygelsts have advocated a rational system of medicine, which assigns the cause of gill diseases to an impurity of the blood, and that, therefore, they are curable by proper vegetable purgatives. The success of this theory is known to all the world. and the consequence has been that many individuals have availed themselves f such success, and brought out pills under al sorts of names, some of which are most fraudulent, such as " Old Parr," and also under the names of eminent deceased physicians, who it is well known had nothing whatever to do with such pills. Some of the parties implicated have actually forged a will, purporting to be Old Parr% in order to impose upon the public. New, what the mem bers of the British C , liege of Health wish to bring before the notice of the public is this—that they cannot be reaponsi:le for such nefa rious proceedings. In all callings there will be black sheep, the me dical profession not excepts]. ilygeists, as a body, consist of honest individuals, who believe that the principles they advocate are founded In truth. Their principles are before the world, and upon them they must stand or fall. They have no connexion with the host of pill mongers throughout the kingdom, and repudiate their iishonest pro ceedings as much as anybody. Mr. Wakley may find it convenient, for the sale of his " Lancet," to class them together in order to pan der to the taste of a certain portion of the medical body ; bat Hyge ists trust that the public has sufficient diteernment to draw the proper distinction. Everything connected with Ifygeists and the British College of Health has been done openly and honestly, and therefore they do not fear the strictest scrutiny. They are, in short, the holiest dissenters from the present system of mcslicine, as taught in the schools, and cannot be responsible for the dishonest acts-of persons who please to take advantage of a successful theory in order to enrich themselves. Theories in medicine, as in other things, be long to no individuals. NORTON'S TRULY VALUABLE CAMO MILE PILLS, FOR INDIGESTION, &c. These Pills arc a pure extract of camomile flowers, prepared by a peculiar p!ocess, by which all the medicinal properties of rather more than one ounce of the flowers are concentrated into four moderate. sized pills, They are mild in operation, and have proved wonder fully successful In removing every sympton of indigestion, sick head ache, loss of appetite, giddiness, heartburn, costiveness, eruptions of the skin, and all complaints arising from a disordenssl state of the digestive organs ; they require no alteration of diet, and their opera tions will be found so beneficial in giving- tone to the stomach, regu lating the bowels, and in promoting a healthy habit, as fully to - c6n vince all who take them of their great utility. Per, ons who have suffered from indigestion for several years, have. by their use, in - a few weeks perfectly recovered, which is a convincing proof that in the smallest compass is contained the largest quantity of the tonic principle of so peculiar a nature as to pervade the whole ~ y stion, through which it diffuses health aid strength.

MAGAZINES CONTINUED. BENTLEY'S. Bentley opens this month with a prose burbsqtte by Albert Smith (illustrated by Leech), of an ancient bailed. It is entitled " The Boy and the Mantle. a Theft from the Percy Reliques." The incidents of the story are adhered to faithfully, but by modernising the language and the manners, and the metaphorsi, a most quaint effect is produced. Cooper gives us thp fourth chapter of Capt. Spike, in which the plot begins to thicken. The Molly Swash having by the skilful manoeuvring of Spike escaped from the ' revenue schooner and the steamer, proceeds to the West Indian seas. They have been at sea about a week, when Spike begins to speak to the Widow Budd ebout love. At first the Widow fancies that she herself is the object of the Skippers admiration, but is soon undeceived, for Spike declares to her that his love for her niece is " of so animated and lastin' a netur," that he scarce knew what he said. This con versation is overh ear d by R ose an d . Mulford, who are thus put on their guard against the machinations of Spike. On the morning of this extraordinary !declare tiun, the '° Molly SWash,' is boarded in the nelghbour• hood of the M ona P assage ( t h e p assa g e between the Islands of St. Domingo and Porto Rico) by the American twenty-gun corvette Poughkeepsie Captain Adatn Mull. The second lieu:eitat of the corvette. Mr. Wallace, is sent on board the Molly Swash ' • and, in answer to his questions, Spik e says th a t his lading is eieht hun dred barrels of flour and that he is bound to Key West and a market. While Wallace is there Rose. and her aunt determine to apply to him to take them oh board, the corvette, as they are suspicious as to the intentions of Spike ; but the nauticalisms of Madam Budd exeite such roars of laughter from Wallace and his man, that Rose, calling her aside, induces her not ,to make the requ.et she intended. Wallace examines the papers of the Molly Swash; lookteeinto tateaide and sees sundry barrels, and, notxiihstainling , thee - brig is armed with eight 12-pound earronades, w hide were sent up out of the hold, and mounted only that morning, tVsl!aco declares himielf satisfied, and returns to his ship, leav ing the Molly Swash to pursue her course. Cap tain .Mull, however, is not • quite so satisfied of Spike's honesty as his second lieutenant ,appeers to be, and accordingly determines to keep a sharp look out for the brig. Spike, however, alters his course, doubles the eastern end of Jamaica, and runs down the et - mit of Yucatan. The ladies, alarmed by Spike's attention, make a confidant, to Mulford's great surprise, of Jack Tier. The brig is at length fairly launched in the Gulf of Mexico, and then Spike takes all Mulford's charts, instruments, &c., into his own cabin, where they are to remain until the arrival of the brig into port. At length the brig arrives at a group of islets in the Gulf ; aad, there; in a natural harbour, casts anchor in sa'ety. " Brian O'Linn" is also continued. Dr. W. C. Taylor, in an article on Nelson and Caraccio:o. refutes the arguments which Sir Harris Nicolas has recently brought forward, with a view to extenuate the enormous crime which Nelson committed, in being accessory to the extra judicial murder of the unfortunate Prince Caracciolo in the bay of Naples. We are sorry to feel ourselves forced reluctantly to agree in the conclusion come to by Dr. Taylor. " The whole defence made by Sir Barris Nicolas turns on an attempt to induce his readers to believe that which he does not believe himself, that Nelson had the legal sanction of the King of the Two Sicilies for all his proceedings. This he could not possibly have had unt i l Ruffu's commission as Vicar - General was revoked. If Nelson held any commission under the King of Naples, a record of it would necessarily have been preserved in the archives of that kingdom. But no such record exists, and no such commission ever existed. It is possible that Nelson may have acted on a mistaken sense of right and duty ; he was infatuated by a guilty passion, and obliquity of intellect.may have followed from perversion of heart. We are ready to admit this palliation, though it increases our sorrow and deepens our shame for the disgraceful deeds which we have been compelled to re cord." mu otgohn:%Eadx, dis.—Birkenhead, ejiBh T 4 h a e dp: sales_ L ta p.—Boston, traoes.h7 Lancashire, b elnfrd: Stamford, Cheshire,Nn d o t in Birmingham, a ph m ; tri a l mi n r d : 1% p.—Buckinghamshire, % p.— Chester and Birkenhead, 201.

Several of our readers . doubtless remember the intense sensation caused some eight-and-thirty years ago by the mysterious dis appearance of Mr. Bathurst, on his road home to Eng land, from a special mission to the Court of Berlin. It was stated at the time that he had been murdered by order of Napoleon. The mystery of his death is, how ever, now cleared up. In an article in the pre: eat num ber of Bentley, entitled "Reminiscences of the late Bishop of . Norwich," by one of his daughters, the authoress thus relates the fate of this unfortunate Ambassador, who was the son of the Bishop, aLd conse quently her own brother : • • " At a small post town,' named - Perlhero, half way between Berlin and Ilamburgh, he alighted to change horses ; it was late at night, during intense cold, anti in the midst of a snow storm. there being, as usual, in those post:rhous..s, but one travellers' room common to all, where many strangers were seated, he probably displayed his watch and other valuables. He returned again into the carriage when ready, but having, us is suprsed, forgotten something, he once more alighted to enter the inn never to re-appear. " Large rewards were Offered by the British Govern• went, and a free pardon, except to the immediate perpe trator, promised by the authorities to any accomplice who would denounce the murderer. The rivers and ponds were dragged far and near,. but all to no effect ; not a trace of him could be discovered excepting a pair of overalls which he had worn at the time of his disap pearance anti which were alleged by an aged female to have been found a few days after laid upon the snow in a copse near the village. The pockets were rifled , an d nothing found within but a hurried letter addressed to his wife, in which, singular to say, he expressed a tear of personal danger. From this strange circumstance some thought it possible that he had secreted himself, and a report prevailed that a person of his description had been traced in sailor's attire to the coast, where he had embarked ; this however was improbable. Many ie p nn o t l te e i rr o ve n il , ye w o d t es h no e ui r:g.sdi:tth for rs assuring trihgh him a had he brbe3e, thatnh his m ad e widow, v,h,ed o away supposed that he was confined in some fortress by N some stratagem of the Emperor • this, however, in an knew nothing whatever of the affair, which is, indeed, most likely to be with by arrived in safety.

Their labours were of the most superhuman cha racter, their perseverance was worthy of a better cause, their reliance upon the capacities of the human intellect, had in it something of the sublime, and from these rea sons as well as from the mystic nature of their creed, the history erthefollowers of the Rosy Cr. ss has ever been a most fruitful theme for the writers of fiction. When properly employed for the decoration of a story, or %her used in the way of allegory, the can er of the It sit:m elons is always it•tractive, and is mostly etithralling. In "Zanoni," this was peculiarly visibl-, though the vast majority of its readers did not recognise the ulterior ob ject of its author. That object has been recently indi cated by Sir Edward Lytt in Bulwer Lytton in one ad mirable sentence which for the sake of the undiscerning it is %yell he has written. Sir-Edward says in his mas terly pamphlet to a certain portion .61 the critics—a pamphlet published, a few days since under the title of "A word to the Public by the Author of Lucretia"—that his aim in penning Zanoni was "to symbolize the beauty of Art." As we may not possibly have a better opportu nit) during the present parliamentary session for refer ring to the pamphlet just mentioned, we may observe at once, that it deserves to be circulated through the kngth and breadth of the land from the fact of its being illustra tive of the bent of Sir Bulwer Lytton's genius—a genius that has been much misunderstood. as (we suspect in many instances) much maligned. Th e " W or d to th e Public" is a conelusiee argument that the works of Bul wer are not inculeative of vicious principles, are not cal culated to vitiate the public taste, are not desientd to render felons heroes, or sin heroical. As to the advisa bility of abstaining altogether from the presentation of actual crime, - Sir Edward exclaims,—" Is this prohibition possible ?" " Crime meets us," he continues, " every where ; you cannot open a newspaper ; you cannot n-fer to statistics ; you cannot mix in the ordinary world— but crime is forced da:ly and hourly on your notice. You must close up for purity and youth all history, sacred and profane ; you must shut out. frona.the caleu• der of life the tyrant and the martyr ; you must seal up the fountains of literature, and silence the long succession of poets from Sophocles to Dante, from Dante to Slitiks peare, from Shakspeare to the last song that has thrilled through the work—if you seek to exclude from the mind the dark certainties of guilt." Altogether the pamphlet is a masterly defence from a most unmerited assault, and it is written too in a strain of eloquence and candour very honourable to its distinguished author We would see that pamphlet upon the table of every en lightened citizen of England; and in the hand of every dispassionate man—it is due to Bulwer. As a continua tion of the agreeable serial upon "Irish Rivers," we are regaled with a gossip about the Funcheon—Funcheon with " the deep and emerald-hearted glades" as B. Sim mons has sung. The most attractive contribution in the number, however, is the biographical sketch of " Thomas Davis," the poet of the " Nation." It is accompanied h) an execrable caricature, possibly considered to be an ad mirable likeness by the engraver. The Pearl of the Bosphorus" is completed, and is above the average merit of similar compositions. We ;would gladly, did our :>pAce permit, cull from the pages of the Dublin University the graceful translation of Moore'i: Nora Creina" into Latin. • Here is the refrain to the first verse however— a refrain quite as melodious as the original : " Obis—Nora mea care— Ter dilecta, nimis rare, Lux amoris, fons pudoris, Oculus tuus Nora Creina." " Remarkable Ft male Criminals," " A nthologia Hiber nia," and a critical article on " Russia," comprise the remaining portion of the Magazine. THE OXFORD and CAMBRIDGE REVIEW There is scarcely a single articlo of any importance in the present number, and we think this is the first time we have felt ourselves compelled to say so much. Some promise is visible in the serial just commenced upon the churches of London, befrinning, of course, with the chef d'ituvre of Sir Christopher Wren,St.Paul's Cathedral. Dr. Hook on the " Three Reformations" is reviewed at some length, and with some degree of impartiality. But the paper least undeserving of notice is the one upon the "Poor Students at the Universities." Those who have read (and who has not?) about Oliver Goldsmith's miseries as a poor student at, Trinity College, Dublin, will readily comprehend the necessity 'which exists for some amelioration of their condition. Matters are better than they were in Goldsmith's time we will admit, but there is still vast room for improvement. THE KNIGHT OF GWYNNE. No. XI V. By Charles Lever. Maurice Darcy gets deeper and deeper into involve ment, but his hilarious and generous disposition sustains him notly throughout. He enters as colonel into the expedition under Abercrombie, and, singular enough, Forester is accidentally among the volunteers under his command. We may therefore anticipate many pleasant contretemps between the colonel and the volunteer, seeing that Forester's condition is "unbeknown" to the Knight of Gwynne. Miss Daly's character is developing itself very charmingly, a natural goodness of heart evincing itself under all her eccentricities.

Borough, rrillia B su u rr 7fi en d t `Jail, to answer the charge of stealing a pocket- book. c,,n taining 300/. in Bank of England notes, the • property .:f Mr. Francis Skipper, of Kingston-on-Thame , , as detailed in our pike report cf Thursday last. The complainant having described the cireronstances at tending the loss of his pocket-book, proceeded to narrate, that when he gave the prisoner into custody they proceeded from the inn to the station-house at the rear f this court ; that on leaving the inn they turned to the right, up the Borough, and passed the end of Adam's- place, which is on the right-hand side of High-street (close to where the pocket-book and its contents were found the same morning). The parties who went to the station-house were the corn plainant, his Mend and relative Alk. West, and two jedice men, and the prisoner; Mr. Gunder, the landlord of the Catherine Wheel, did not accompany them. The pris ,ner, and a policeman by his side, walked before complainant and Mr. West on passing the end of Adam's place. Mr. Humphries, at this stage of the investigation, com menced a lengthened cross-examination of the complainant as to his condition in life, his place of residence, and to ac count fur his time from the period lie left the theatre on the night of Tuesday up to the time, a quarter before five o'clock the next morning, when he missed the 300/. from the inside of his lett boot. These questions were answered by the con plainant, describing himself as of independent circumstances, that he resided at Colburn-vills, near KinfOon ; that he supported his relative, Mr. West, who accompanied him to various places of amusement in town, and on the night in question they had called at several public-houses, at which he had previously purchased "sweep tickets" for the Derby and other races. The complainant objected at first to give answers to same of the questions put to him by Air. Humphries, particularly those relating to his places of abode before he went to live at Kingston; but the latter gentleman urged the necessity of his adopting the same line of cross-examination he had taken when so serious a charge was Made against the accused, as it was necessary to ascertain whether the complainant and his friend, Mr. West, were. parsons of. credibility, and ►hose tes- . amony could be relied upon. Mr. CorriNGium remarked that be could not clearly see the necessity for putting each questions; that an alleged robbery bad been recently conunitted at an inn in the Borough; that the money was afterwards found not far dis tant from the inn, and must have been dropped by some one or other of the persons on the way to the station-housa ; that he thought it quite an absurd notion to suppose the complainant had dropped the pocket-book; and that it ap peared his friend Mr. West was at another part of the room when the prisoner pulled off the boot belonging to com plainant, which contained the money, and from which it was taken. However, if Mr. Humphries thought it essential to the defence, he - was at liberty to continue the cross• examination. In answer to further questions by Mr. Humphries, the complainant gave a very minute account of his time from quitting the theatre on the night in question until his ar rival in a cab at the Catherine Wheel,from which it appeared he and his friend had called at the different houses .alluded to, but, although they had partaken of refreshment at some of them. still they were both perfectly sober when they got up into the room of the inn where the robbery was alleged to have been committed. In reply to Mr. CormcinAm, the complainant said he distinctly felt the pocket-book inside his boot when he un buttoned his trousers' straps to let the prisoner pull the boots off. When the prisoner pulled the left boot off he ha • mediately left the room, saying, he wanted to lock the yard gates, leaving the_ other boot on complainant's leg. He had hurried out of the room before complainant missed the pocket-book, and-" he called out to the prisoner to returr, and mentioned to him when he came back that the pocket book and 300/. were gone; that the prisoner declared he knew nothing about it, and threw open his coat and waistcoat, saying he was willing to be searched ; and when he (complainant) approached him said that lie would not allow him or his friend to overhaul him in case they should place anything in his pockets, and he said that he should call his master up for his protection. The com plainant further said that the prisoner did not undergo any search while at the Catherine Wheel, that mt being carried into effect until afterwards, when they got to the station house; that previously to leaving the Catherine Wheel, and when the circumstances attending the loss of the 3001. were mentioned to the landlord; he exclaimed that he was satisfied of the honesty of his servant, and also evinced an objection to have the police called in, on the plea that his other,lodgers ought not to be diAurbcd. _ _ Humphries—Was not the prisoner searched in your presence at the Catherine Wheel before you went to the station-house ? CoMplainant—l did not observe he was searched by either the landlord or thd policeman while in that house. All I saw was the prisoner merely opening his jacket and waistcoat, and pull his pockets inside out. Mr. West, the young man referred to, was next examined, and he confirmed the complainant's account of the transac tion in all its essential points. The witness also un lerwent a lengthened cross-examination, in the course of which he said that he was 19 years of age; had oen formerly a wine merchant's anti a linendraper's clo t righton, but that within the last three months he ha en supported by his cousin, the complainant The witness also proved that the :prisoner did not undergo a search before they arrived at the station-house. foreman at the Phcenix Gas Works, Bankside, stated that in walking from his house in Fox's-buildings, Kea street, at about a quarter to six o'clock on the morning iu question, he picked up a pocket-book, containing a 100/.and tour 501. Bank of England notes, in Iligh-slr et, near Adam's-court ; that the pocket-Look was 1. ing on the ciattre of the pavement; he took it to the gas company, and gave it to Mr. Munro, the manager, in whose possession it still remained. (The pocket-book and its contents were here produced by Mr. Munro, and identified by Cox as the same he found, and they were also identified by the owner as his property.) Inspector Yates proved that the complainant and Mr. West were perfectly sober; that the prisoner was searched there, but nothing was found iu his possession. Policeman 101 M, who took the prisoner from the Cathe rine Wheel to the station-house, state 3, that ongoing there he walked on the prisoner's left side, and that his right hand was at liberty; that on the way the prisoner talked of being thirsty, and expressed a wish to go into a coffee-shop to have some coffee. Prisoner's right hand was next to Adams place. He added that he was present at the Catherine Wheel when the landlord expressed his confidence in the prisoner's honesty, and said that he was certain that he had not taken the pocket-book and its contents. By Mr. Humphries—The last time the prisoner expressed a wish to enter a coffee-shop was between Lant-street and Norfolk-street, considerably nearer the station-house than Adam's-place; the prisoner and he were before the com plainant and other persons In passing the spot where the pocket-book was afterwards found. By Mr. Corrtsclumu—The prisoner was not searched at the Catherine Wheel, but the room in which the parties were at the inn, and also some places in the yard, were examined in quest of the pocket-book. Two other policemen, who were also called in to the Ca therine Wheel, were next examined, and their evidence merely went to show that the prisoner had not been searched until taken to the . station-liOuSe. • After a question-had been asked by Mr. CarrrucGiuot as to whether the pocket-book contained any gold or silver, ur other hard substance in it, so that by dropping it on the pavement a noise would be produced, and the answer by the complainant being in the negative, he having stated that it only contained the bank notes and some memoranda,—the prisoner, then, in his defence made a long statement to the effect that he was entirely innocent of the alleged charge. He denied that he had taken the boot said to have con tained the pocket-book out of the bedroom; that his motive in leaving the room was to lock the yard-gates, as much pro perty was exposed ; that he offered to be searched, and called his master up for his protection in case any advantage might be taken in his absence; and that he was searched minutely before leaving his master's housa by a policeman. • The three policemen who had entered the Catherine Wheel were here called forward by the magistrate and questioned as to the truth of the prisoner's assertion, and they all denied it, saving it did not take place until his arrival at the sta tion-house. The MAGBTILATE could not help animadverting on the neglect of the policeman in omitting so important a circum stance as the minute examination of the person of a man charged with committing such a robbery, on the very slot where it was stated it had occurrel The prisoner, in continuation, spoke of an altercation complainant and his friend had with a cabman about the tare in the inn-yard before they got up stain, and concluded by a solemn declaration of his innocence, declaring that he had never seen the complainant's pocket-book nor its con tents until he saw them that day in court. Mr. Humphries considered that the accused had given a completg answer to the charge ; that he could not' have been the person who dropped the pocket-book, as he.weilked in front of the complainant, MI friend Mr. West, :nil policent.m, on the :cap• t•, tite ~tai n-lions Mr. Corrixtiii.km reeapitulat4, , l all Ow virviii+Nt Nailing the. case, :out, in the emirs,. of 1.1, rein:lrked that, altitist,tll it :.i.l)-!.red complainant and his friend had not :.jve...; y accoltilt of their prestmt way of lire, Ail( that lie vould believe they had concocted the statein eu.s • ti t order to bring such a charge against the acci,,, , ed.

A COACHMAN IN TROUBLE.—The coachman of Lord Hastings, on Wednesday last, was directed to drive a gentleman from his Lordship's residence at Melton Constable to the railway terminus at Norwich, a distance of about 20 miles. He arrived at Norwich perfectly safe, and the. gentleman proceeded by the next train to London. The coachman, whose name is Haylett, is a married man, and has a wife and young family living at Lenwade; a village about midway from Melton to Norwich. Having no one to drive back, instead of staying at Norwich all night with his carriage and horses, he determined to go as far as his wife's cottage and stay there, putting up his horses at Lenwade bridge Inn. unfortunately for him he did not -keep himself sober in Norwich, and started from the Norfolk Hotel, in a somewhat questionable state, about eleven o'clock at nigh:. After he passed the Drayton-tollgate, about live miles on the road, he appears to have fallell asleep. and the borers tweed into a by-lane, which ultimately led info a field. Here they seem to have wandered about, with Haylett sleeping on the box, the track of the wheels the next morning showing thet the carriage, on ' one occasion, passed within a few inches of the edge of a deep marl-pit, into which it seamed most miraculous that they did not all fall. However, they found their way out of the field again, the coachman probably awaking. Thence the) took a direc tion for Ringland, and attempted to ford a wide watering of the Wensum, but the immensely flooded state of the low lands had given a great impetuosity to the stream, and they were carried away by it. At this time also Haylett appears to have been asleep upon the driving-box, and when he awoke, about four o'clock in the morning, he found himself in the midst of these extensive waters, both the horses being drowned, and the carriage severed, the fore from the hind wheels. We need hardly say he was dreadfully frightened ; his screams brought up in a short time some of the watch from the game preserves of Mr. N. Micklethwaite, who ren dered all the assistance they could. In the course of the morn ing the horses were g ot out , and the carriage also.

FURTHER DISCOVERIES OF MINERALS. (From the Swan River News, Western Australia.) We have been favoured with communications from Sir James S:irling (the first Governor of the colony), Mr. T. R. C. Walters, and Mr. A. Shenton, announcing discoveries of milerals by th e i r respective -c.-)rrespond"- ents. Sir James Stirling's letters inform him that traces of a mine of copper or lead, or both, have been disco vered on his Woodbridge estate, as well as indications of coal; also, that on Government land, about 18 or 20 miles from Guildford, a mine of tin, with a large propor tion of silver, has been discovered. This letter is from Mr. Abraham Jones, of Woodbridge, and is dated " 15th September, from Guildford. Mr. Shenton writes (under date September 13th), " We are now in a state of great excitement respecting minerals, good specimens of the ores of copper and tin being found ; an I ()Teat hopes are entertained of the coal mines."-Mr. Walters' letters an nounce the discovery of copper on the grant of Mr. Lulcin, at the Tooclyay, about twelve or fourteen miles west of Mr. Davey's . grant ; and on Mr. Dempster's, s!x or seven miles north of it, are supposed to be of tin or plating. TUE OLIVES.-Mr. Jones, in his letter to Sir James Stirling, quoted above, adds, " The olives are thriving well, as also many other of the fi uit trees, this season." PROSPECTS OF TILE COLONY.-Mr. A. Shenton in his letter dated September 13, says, " Our exports this year will amount to nearly 30,000/.; far exceeding our imports. The timber trade is also beginning to flourish, many parties having lately engaged in it. O r d ers f or i t h ave been received fr om t h e 'South Austral an Government, but to carry it on, in the way its quality deserves, we require a large incr,,ase to our labouring population which now is not adequate to the demand.

The captain. then sent on shore fifty of his crew', who, with the natives, cut 300 tons of wood, consisting of ebony, logwobtl, and fus tick. The captain paid 21. per ton besides heavy wages - for labour.

Yesterday a very numerous meeting of the tnembcrs as sembled in committee of the whole court, for the purpose of adopting resolutions, the tendency of which Was to reform, in an essential manner, the Corporation of London. Before the committee proceeded to business Mr. R. L. Jos asked whether the Lord Mayor had any communication to make to the Court ? The LORD MAYOR replied in the negative. • Mr. ASHURST (chairman of the sub-committee) brought up the report, containing sundry recommendations. Alderman WILSON objected to the reading of the report, which he contended wai quite at variance with the reference to the committee. Upon this subject a very angry discussion took place, tes tifying that there was but little chance of unanimity in the committee. It was at length determined that Mr. Ainurst should proceed. Mr. AsutrusT then proposed the first resolution, of which lie had given notice, and which formed one eesential portion of the report. It was a recommendation that the Court of Common Council request Um Lord Mayor to restore the Qualification Bill to the paper of business to be brought on at the nexeCourt. •It was very properly observed by Alder man Wilson that the Court Aldermen had become the laughing -stock of the public. • rie conduct of that body upon the late attempts of the Common Council to effect a salutary reform was a strong illustration of the truth of that observation. Soeing, however, that the Common Council was resolved •to adopt a system of reform, that Court had determined to apply to Parliament for beneficial, changes in its constitution. Nothing, he contended, could be more monstrous than the idea that the Lord Mayor had the power to remove from the paper.of business any motion of which a member of the Court had given notice. After several re marks upon the assumption of such a power, Mr. Ashurst moved the resolution. Sir P. Letnua felt great pleasure in secon•ling the motion. - A greet misconception existed. he said, as to the power of the two Court , . His notion wa s that the pocket-book regu lations constituted the only guide to the Lord Mayor, who did not represent the Court of Aldermen in the committee, but was merely the chairman, and it would be intolerable that a Lord Mayor should attempt to dictatate to the Court of Common Council as the representative of the other Court. He was proud to say that he had been in a minority in the Court of Aldermen since the journey to Oxford, and he ad mired the spirit with which the Common Council was show ing itself to be master of its own proceedings. if his Lord ship did nut thiuk proper to do his duty, the Court would, as a matter of course, • apply to the next °Meer, for it was not to be supposed that the great machinery of the corpora• tion was to be stopped by'the caprice of one man.—(near.) Mr. W. LAWRENCE said that if the Lord Mayor had a right to remove a notice of motion from the paper of business he might claim the right of saying there should be no paper of business at alt.—(Heer, hear.) It was an outrage upon eonemomeease to suppose the possibility of the existencenr, such a power. The Court of Common Council would create their own paper of business. They were willing to do it through the Lord Mayor, if he happened to be so disposed, • but if he refus , el to sit they would create their own business. —(Cheers.) It would be placing the Town Clerk, he ad mitted, in a disagreeable position, to require of him to de what the Lord Mayor refused to accomplish; but in a case of such extreme importance there could be ne objection - to sachem alternative.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. PewritEss declared that an end would be pat to all corporation business if the Lord Mayor possessed so ex traordinary a power as his Lordship had Attempted to exercise.' Alderman SIDNEY wished to see unanimity existinn* ' . be tween the Courts. He believed ther e w as scarce l y an Eng lishman to be found who wished ill to the aldermen of Lon don.—(A laugh.) A little might be said in Punch deroga tory to them, but they had no hostile feeling directed against them.—(Cries of " Oh, oh.") If the C our t did any-. thing calculated to destroy so ancient and honourable a cor poration, upon their heads would fall the blame of frittering away the privileges which they bad sworn to defend. Time Lord Mayor had acted upon the advice of the Recorder, the Common Sergeant, and two eminent counsel. Mr. R. Tavv_nt—Who are the eminent counsel ? Alderman SIDNEY could not at that moment say. To put the question which tho Lord Mayor had refused to put might be erroneous in law, and would not the Court be de serving of blame if they asserted a privilege without know ing whether they had it or not? lie thought there was a way of gating out of the dilemma with honour, and he should propose that way as an amendment. Ile then moved that the opinions of the Attorney and Solicitor-General, to gether with the opinions of the Recorder and Common Sergeant, be taken, whether the Lord Mayor had a right to put the question. . Alderman Wu-sox seconded the amendment, because he thought it the only mode of carrying out the reform of the Court of Common Council. No one could read the whole of the resolutions on the paper without feeling that, so far from healing the differences which existed, they must tend to widen them, and lead to the great detriment of the in terests, rights, and privileges of the corporation. The Court assumed to itself more exclusive power than belonged to the House of Commons ; an d h e was i nclined to think that, £ll far as the city of London was concerned, they had those extraordinary powers when- acting as a vested body of Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council; but in passing Bills for • levying t&xes on their fellow-citizens, extending the elective franchise, and altering the qualifications of the mem bers of the Court itself, surely it became them to carry such ' measures in a manner worthy of a deliberative assembly, claim ing and exercising such extensive powers as those now con tended for. Of what value would a Bill be if not passed legally according to the customs and charters of the City ? How could they expect that the Court of Aldermen, as a judicial body, would or could take notice of Bills or laws passed is the way proposed? Did they suppose that if the Lord Mayor declined to comply with their request, and they attempted to place the Town Clerk above his Lordship, the latter would remain in the Court, and if the Lord Mat or left the C our t, w h a t wou ld any A ct passe d i n h i s absence be Worth? He implored them to take the advice of ciunsel 1 upon a matter involving the great privileges of th e ir fellow citizens. lie concluded by informing the Court that the conusel upon whose opinion the Lord Mayor had acted, were Mr. Peacock and Mr. Wilde, as well as the Recorder and Coriorton-SiTgeene. Mr. W. Jorrus said the speeches of the mover and seconder of the amendment were conclusive in favour of the original motion. lie thought it was cnly necessary to give the al dermen oppos3d to the Common Council rope enough and they would certainly hang themselves. It was easy to puta case in such a manner as to insure the delivery of an opinion favourable to the views of the par:y interested. Ile con sidered it would be the extreme of impolicy to adopt the amendment. Alderman CHALLIS, at the same time that he advocated the original motion, defended the Court of Aldermen from the charge of w r ish•ng to interfere with the independence of the Court of Common Council. Mr. LOWE said he had mentioned to the Lord Mayor that if his Lordship assured the committee that he would restore the Bill on the paper of business, and allow the question, that the Bill be read a third time, to be put, he would move, as an amendment, that the Bill be re -committed.--(Hear, hear.) If such a course should be adopted, the opinion of counsel could be taken as to the legality of the Bill, and the court could act upon the advice. The LORD MAYOR, having been called upon by several members of the committee, said he always wished to see unanimity established between the two Courts, and a kindly feeling perpetuated. lie had been advised that he could not legally put the question, and he had acted upon that advice, fur he was not so presumptuous as to hazard an opinion upon such a subject, when men of high legal education and experience suggested the course for him to pursue. lle lamented the disagreement which existed as much as anv one, and he would suggest a motion to the extent to which he - could conscientiously go. It wac, that the Lord Mayor be requested to insert the Bill to declare the qualification of freemen of London to be elected members of the Court of CoMinon Council in the paper of business for the next Common Council, in order that the said Bill should be re . committed, and its provisions reconsidered in committee of the Common Couneil.—(Marks of disapprobation ) Mr. ANDEnTort said the Court could not think of such • a citopro,iii-A: of its dignity. The question of the legality of the Bill was to be decided elsewhere. The Court would take upon itself the responsibility of passing it. Sir JAMES DUKE complained that the advice of counsel should be taken by a portion of the aldermen unknown to the rest of that body. The objection to the Bill ought to have been taken on the second, and not on the third reading. Mr. I:. TAynon said he rose to address the Lord — gayor personally. His Lordship's ear had been abused. He was led by a small clique of the Court of Aldermen, and two or three other officers. That was a degradation to the mayor alty, and it was the duty of his Lordship to retrace his steps, and put the All upon time paper et business to undergo the necessary discussion. _ _ - Mr. 11. L. JONES, and other metnbere, also implored the Lord Mayor to act independently of the clique by whom it was evident he was influenced in opposing the wishes of the great majority of the members of the Corporation. The question was then put, and there were a few hands held up fur Ahl.:rman Sielney's amendment, which was ne ga; ived, cmidst acclamation, by an immense majority. Amongst those who voted fur the original question were Al dermen Sir Peter Laurie, Ilumphery,‘VrTuod, Sir James Duke, and Challis. There were four aldermen in the minority. The following resolutions were afterwards carried by great majorities:— "'That in the event of the Qualification Bill not being placed on the paper, this committee be recolumeuded to as,ert and - adhere to their right to bring on -the same fur -di..i.eus sion, and to have the question that the Bill be read a third time' lit to t "'PIA the I:,ml.iilllrancer he I,:llllt,ted Io iav Ctilre the 1':11111 1'11!11lllltll'' Opy Of .111 . ,' to he presented to the 11,,0,1.1 to rcpeal or alter the ..Ict of thy I 1 t t. 1., ,00tt as it ,Indi Alkkrin.iii 111• , iviii.:1t said it the Cowl agreed to go to l'atliatto•tit to :;!tit the Act.alhudrll it. h. ,119,11,1:so arrange the support.of the Bill that there would be no interfe rence whatever with the privileges of the COIIIIIIOII Vounciln.)en.
