SAMPLES. PU. NS, , . LORD JOHN RUSSELL AND THE BIRMINGHAM DEPUTATION. Yesterday afternoon, the deputation appointed at the meetin g recently held in Birmingham, in reference to the financial and commercial condition of the coun try, had an interview with Lord J. Russell. G. F. MUNTZ, Esq., introduced the members of the deputation severally to his Lordship, and then ob served on the inefficiency of the Government measure of relief, that the great reduction of the profits of trade had rendered it impossible for merchants or manufacturers to borrow money at a high rate of interest, for the purpose of employing it in their trades. if they borrowed it in any case, it would only be to meet engagements already entereti into, and pressing upon them, but in no case to embark it in any new undertaking. He further strongly cautioned his Lordship against the danger and uncon stitutional proceeding of listening to interested and irresponsible advisers. It was clearly understood that a gentleman he would not hesitate to name (Mr. Jones Loyd) - had great influence in advising the Government in these injurious measures, without sharing the responsibilities. Now he did not object to Government inquiring of experienced men, but he did oject to this surrender to an irresponsible and biassed party. Mr. R. SPOONER showed that though importations of gold were taking place to some extent, it did not appear in the Bank coffers, rand would not appear there till the measures of Government were of so efficient and decided a character as to restore general confidence. He deprecated'the usurious interest, and commented with great severity on the degrading partnership of profit proposed and pointed to the danger of causing a sudden chew,. in general invest ments and deposits, aggravating all the evils it was intended to abate. He then alluded to the different state of affairs now and in 1825: In 1825, the panic having destroyed the home demand, the considerable stocks then on hand were sent out on consignment, and though sold at a ruinous loss, still they brought ' back gold. There were now no large stocks on hand, and stocks for exportation would not be created under the present usurious interest. He then showed the rapid cessation of employment that was going on, and urged strongly both the inhumanity and danger of allowing the people to be thus deprived of their means of existence. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD confirmed Mr. Spooner's views, by showing that the foreign orders on hand were only l i very partially being executed on account of the diffi culty of converting even thelbest bills into cash, or any available means. On Mr. SALT being asked what was the rate of discounts at joint-stock banks prior to the publication of Lord John Russell's letter, he stated that, as far as he had heard, it did not exceed 7f per cent. ; but that, on the publication of this letter, a rate of 9 per cent., 10 per cent., and even higher, Mr. Salt then proceeded to call his Lordship's attention to the very injurious effects of his measure. The excessive rate of interest demanded compelled holders of pro perty to make forced sales, under the most unfa vourable circumstances, thus depressing ruinously all property. The general fall in the value of property thus effected by the money-laws, and the attempt to mend them, could not be less than 20 per cent.; and taking the value of the property of the nation at five thousand millions, which was a low estimate, the loss, as regarded the power of meeting engagements, effected by his Lordship's mea sures, or by the measures he maintained, was not less than a thousand millions, or more than the whole of the national debt. The further effect of raising the value of money higher than the rate of profits was to make it impossible for manufacturers to employ the people. It was a law against the property, the sol vency, and the life of the people. He warned his Lordship that the people would not submit to be ex terminated in this way—the manufacturers would not submit to it. He, for one, would stand by his men, and he had no doubt thakothers would do the same, and they would permit no Government to exist that did not enable the people to live. Mr. Salt complained of the extreme ignorance of Ministers, and their legislating on questions of such vast importance, not only without inquiry, but with a direct refusal to inquire. Petitions for inquiry had been constantly laid before them, but had always been met by a refusal, and fresh legislation had been rushed into, fresh errors been committed, and fresh and aggravated calamities been produced. He called on his Lordship to review the vast wreck that had been made. He hoped his Lordship would not think him disrespectful if he offered him proof of the ignorance of the Government. So late as February, the Chancellor of the Exchequer boasted of the sound state of the country, and treated as visionary the fear of danger. Again, he told the Newcastle deputation, even on the 28th of September, that there was plenty of money for those who could offer good security. His Lordship, twenty days after, acknowledged the difficulties of the country to the Liverpool deputation, but told them he could give no relief. [His Lord ship said he had told the Liverpool deputation that he would give them an answer the next morning.] Mr. Salt resumed. Very true, my Lord; but this answer was a refusal, and a declaration that your Lordship would not violate the law. Within five days your Lordship did violate the law; and in the letter by which your Lordship did so, your Lordship did, with singular candour, acknowledge that all your calculations, and all your anticipations, had been shown by the events t o b e wrong. Mr. Salt renewed here his complaints of the character of the measure of relief, and begged his Lordship to consider the re sponsibility he incurred if, after these repeated errors, and their consequent calamities he did not institute an immediate inquiry. Mr. Salt further complained that the ruin inflicted by :Ministers had been aggravated by the libels they had uttered against their victims. He denied that the misfortunes of the country had been in any respect brought on by railway specula tions. The railway undertakings were sound and va luable undertakings, conducive to the national welfare, and in no degree exceeding the national strength. They had no more to do with share-jobbing than the gambling-houses had to do with trade. They were aloof and uncontaminated by these practices, which were confined within an entirely different circle. He reminded his Lordship that no difficulty occurred till the Bank of England began to contract its issues, to refuse all customary accommodation, until—to use , Sir Robert Peel's own cruel and appropriate phrase— until the Bank put the screw on, that was the marked period when prosperity was turned into ruin. That WAS the error and the guilt, and it was a bitter ag gravation to attempt to conceal the crime by libelling its victims. Under the effect of this screw the navvies and the labourers could not be employed; they were deprived of their means of existence by law. Mr. Salt required that a large measure of relief should be im mediately given —that money should be freely ad vanced at moderate rates on all good securities—and that meanwhile a full inquiry should be instituted, with a view to permanent legislation ; and he thought it his duty to warn his Lordship that if the Ministers would not give relief he should feel it his duty to apply to her Majesty for the immediate dismissal of Ministers. At the conclusion of Mr. Salt's appeal, His LORDSHIP replied, that if he listened to the re presentations of the deputation he might afford tem porary relief, but that his compliance would involve a tenfold measure of suffering hereafter. Mr. MASON fully confirmed the statements that had been made of the distress of the people and that Birmingham was rapidly f a lli ng i nto a distress as great as that of other parts of th e country, and the applications f o r p ar i s h re li e f h a d greatly increased : that increase wo u ld g i ve b u t a very inadequate id ea of the destitution of the working classes. Such desti tution could not be attributed to a bad harvest. A national thanksgiving for abundance refuted this, but it must be attributed to the obstinate adherence to a monstrous error in the money laws, to the mainte nance of which every other interest, every consi deration, the solvency of the middle classes, and the lives of the people were to be sacrificed. He Lordship, th at, unless felt assured that if hi s L ordship could be come aware of the extent of suffering o f the people, humanity that his great consid era ti on of and, with would all induce him to gra n t amp l e re li e f. I t was the duty respect,of the he deputation w as to bound t o deal t candid l y; ellhisrd immediate redress was given, an immediate appeal must be made to her Majesty. The operations of the currency, as now administered, aimed directly at reducisg the wages, and, still worse, at reducing the employment of labour. The object aimed at was the p i a n y mor e Bir Employers cannot reduction of the English to the level of the continental rs cannot submit to than double, in some cases three times the taxation labourer; but the English w rivgh o lien r s, k_ w m a a s suddenly force wages. La and therefore when a breaking up of all their habits, paid by the foreign labourer. boure n th h e ad ca t s o e and not reduction of g level, the workme n prices break down below a wages, is the first result. the manufacturing districts Bir mingham. In some of will be discharged, Discha rge, they reduced the w ages un d er every pr essure , an d endeavoured t o redeem profi ts out of w ages . N o hostility existed in Birmingham between employers and employed ; but one the opinion prevailed—that beets the source of nati o nal present money-laws have bee _ dishonour a n d su ff er i ng . c trusted his Lordship would feel it a most solemn duty to the country to recommend the necessity of an inquiry into the prin- • ciples and operation of the present system of currency. He trusted his Lordship's mind would be impressed with the circumstances under which the country is labouring. Mr. HARLOW observed that the operation of the money-laws on the various interests of society had been clearly set forth by Mr. Muntz and the other speakers. He urged upon his Lordship the necessity of a thorough examination into the question, and the adoption of larger measures of relief, such as would restore confidence and prevent the breaking-up of trade. The inquiry must be one of greater extent than had hitherto been allowed, and the question must be looked at with reference to th; condition and welfare of society. They must not begin with the forgone conclusions of the necessity of a standard of gold or a standard of silver; but they must in quire freely what systems would be most conducive to the promotion of the general interests of society, and especially of the productive classes. He assured his Lordship, that if he would boldly and fearlessly enter upon this inquiry, he would be supported by the people, but the general welfare must be the para mount and guiding principle.

Yesterday evening the Honourable the East India Company entertained the Earl of Dalhousie, previous to his departure for India as the Governor General of that vast empire, with a sumptuous and magnificent banquet. Large as these adjectives are in their sig nification, they convey but a poor idea of the splen dour and rich profusion of every adjunct which luxury could devise or wealth procure to add to the weight of this manifestation of the regard of the East India Company to their honoured officer. The London Tavern was selected as the scene of the entertain ment, and all the resources at the command of that establishment were abundantly put forth to carry out the wishes of the entertainers. The tables glittered with lustrous crystal and the richest plate. Epergnes and centre pieces of every device sparkled in long array beneath the glowing wax lights, and the band of the Guards (which attended in the gallery at the end of the room) performed a selection of pieces in which the neat propriety of the tunes was as remark able as the perfection of their execution. At seven o'clock the Right Hon. the Earl of Dal housie entered the room, accompanied by the Chair man and after him came Lord John Russell, Lord Glenelg, the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, the Rev. T. Hay, Vice-Chancellor Wigram, the Lord Chief Baron, Sir J. C. Hol'house, Viscount Jocelyn, the Attorney-General, Sir C. Pollock, the Marquis of Douro, Lord Langdale, Lord Campbell, Right Hon. T. B. Macaulay, Sir D. Le Marchant, and Mr. Brooke, the Raja of Sarrawak, accompanied by numerous Lords and gentlemen, as Mr. Justice Wightman, Sir G. Couper, the Rev. Mr. Melvill, Sir J. W. Hogg, Sir J. Pelly, Sir J. Macdonald, Mr. Lyall, Mr. Masterman, Mr. B. Hawes, Mr. C. Buller, M.P., Sir F. Fane, the Recorder, &c. &c. The dinner, in which every exertion was made by Messrs. Bathe and Breach to sleet the greatness of the occasion, and the greatest skill exhibited in the culinary art, having been at length brought to a close, after a grace from the Rev. the Chaplain of the East India Company, The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of the Queen, long may leer Majesty live to enjoy the affec tion and loyalty of her subjects."—(Loud cheers.) "God save the Queen," all the company standing. The CHAIRMAN then gave "The Queen Dowager," which was.received with markei honours ; and " The health of Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family," which also elicited the strongest marks of attachment and respect. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—My Lords and Gentlemen, we are met on this occasion—on this, I will say, most auspicious occasion —(Cheers)—to pay a just compliment to the Noble Lord on my right, on the event of his being appointed to his high and most important station, as Chief Governor of India.— (Cheers.) My Lords and Gentlemen, a more impor tant and more sacred trust cannot fall to the lot of any one.—(Cheers.) It cannot fall to any man's share to discharge more important duties, and the Noble Lord at my right ought to feel gratified not merely because of the high appointment that has been conferred upon him, but because of the manner in which he has ob tained it. It was conferred upon him by the spon taneous movement of the Company. It was conferred upon him as a mark of public favour, uninfluenced by any feelings of party or by any sentiments of a political nature —(Loud cheers.) The Noble Lord who has obtained this high honour is not connected with the existing Administration, but this Adminis tration, anxious, as I believe, to find a fitting officer for so high a trust, agreed unanimously in the selec tion of his Lordship.—(Cheers.) He, my Lords and Gentlemen, is called upon by this appointment to rule over the most magnificent empire that was ever ac quired in the history of the world—he is called upon to rule over countless millions of human beings, pro fessing different religions, and exercising different habits, and professing sentiments widely different in their moral and physical system. It is his duty, his arduous and important duty, :o consolidate this multi form and various population, by measures suit e d t o their varying f ee li ngs and belief. He has the com plete control over the system of legislation which has been devised for that empire, and on the proper and rightful execution of that system of legislation the happiness and well. being of that vast community de pend. In assuming this high office the Noble Lord follows a long line of most illustrious predecessors ; he follows in the trairr of a long succession of statesmen who have administered the affairs of that great empire, and with the noble example of their great talents and vast success before him, I am sure, my Lords and Gentlemen, he will not fall short of those who have gone before him. These statesmen, wiy Lords, have extended as far as possible the benefits of just legislation, and have gone as far as circum stances would enable them to obtain the security of this vast and extraordinary empire.—(Cheers.) Con tending systems of belief, religions of different sec tions, and far opposed to each other, are to be recon ciled and made to harmonize in this difficult course of legislation. But the great difficulty that the Gover nor-General of India has to encounter lies in the fact that he, alone and exclusively, has to administer the whole system of political authority. In conquering men of various political sentiments and conflicting feelings, and in reconciling them to his authority, he has a most arduous duty to perform. He must in the discharge of that duty, be conversant with the commercial interests of this country; but in this, as in every other rezpeot, I feel that these interests are safe, and that the Noble Lord will do justice to this country. It is on these grounds, and on these grounds only, that he has been called to the administration. I will not detain you any longer, nor occupy your time by further comments on this subject. This is not the occasion on which I could with propriety do so, and I shall therefore only express my ardent and most fervent wish, that after a long and successful adminis tration, he may return in health to his native land, to receive the grateful respect and heartfelt homage of his fellow-countrymen, and of the great people whom he shall have so ably represented and served. —(Loud cheers.) Air, "The Laird of Cock-pen."—(Laughter.) The Earl of DALIIOUSIB rose amidst loud cheers, and said—Mr. Chairman, my Lords and Gentlemen, I wish you to receive my warm, my most grateful thanks, for the honour you have done me in drinking my health, and for the kind and flattering manner in which it has been proposed. The Chairman has only justly stated my feelings, when he said I must feel proud and gratified by the honour that has been con ferred upon me. My Lords and Gentlemen, it is needless to say how high are the feelings of pride and gratification which I experience at finding myself selected by the East India Company, unsoli cited (and that this honour was unsolicited I can most truly say), to one of the highest offices to which any public man, be his aspirations what they may, can venture to aspire. But, my Lords and Gentle• men, my feelings of gratification and pride at being thus selected are still further enhanced by the fact that my appointment was made by the advice of her Majesty's confidential advisers-- (Cheers)—from whom, as I had not the honour of acting with them in a political association, I had no right to expect such a high and distin guished mark of confidence and respect.—(Loud cheers.) The future must be a proof of nay gratitude, and I can only express a hope that it may justify in some degree the high honour you have done me in the office that you have just conferred upon me. But brilliant as this appointment is, noble as are its op portunities, I can assure you,'nay Lords and Gentle men, I have not accepted it from any feeen li n al per of sonal ambiti on , or f rom any desire of P ...ona. grati fication, but s o l e l y f rom the belief that it was my duty to do so, as a pu bli c man, at the time and under the circumstances when the proposal Was made to DANOTHER CURE OF' FIFTY YEARS' ASTHMA , BY R.

And while looking to the long list of states men, great in their wisdom and mighty in their achievements, who have preceded me and looking brick to the ti me w h ere i n they lived, I do entertain very strong doubts of my own competency for the administration of affairs so various and so vast, when men of far greater ability might regard their charge with anxiety and dread. Yet, conscious of the motives with which I have undertaken this office, I have n o t s h run k f rom its responsibilities. I rely, my Lords and Gentlemen, on your cordial support. I rely upon the support of your army and of your navy, and I rely on the cordial support of her Majesty' s Ministers, frankly and freely, as long as I faithfully execute the trust committed to me with fidelity to you and with advantage to the public.— (Cheers.) I know I may safely rely on the able and ungrudging assistance of both branches of those ad mirable services under your command, and I feel, relying upon this, and with God's good help, I trust that I shall be successful, at least as far as I can be with honesty and justice. The Chairman has properly , observed that this is not the occasion on which to ven ture in any manner, however slight, on the events of the future, and the results of future measures. I have already had an opportunity of explaining to you my views on the various questions of Indian policy, and you will excuse me, therefore, if I venture to think any further reference to them unnecessary. But before I sit down I may venture to congratulate you on the encouraging state of public affairs in India. I am certain I am only expressing the sentiments of you all when I say that I hope the peace which the distinguished success of the administration of the Noble Lord who now precedes me in that country has produced may prove lasting, and I know that I ex p"ess the feelings of every one around_ me when I offer up my earnest hope and prayer that this peace may be enduring and profound. But, my Lords and Gentlemen, if this aspirati on b e va i n , an d i t s h ould turn out otherwise, I trust that the Government of India will never be found unprepared to strike, and will ever be prompt to raise their arm when the real interest and the true honour of the nation demand it. —(Loud cheers.) But I shall regard it as the proudest and noblest honour of my life if, free from all foreign aggression and internal tumult, my chief duty shall consist in advancing those great measures of internal improvement which are so essential to the prosperity of the Indian empire, and in promoting the extension and improvement of internal communications, not merely as respects those modes of rapid intercourse which, however advantageous, I must take the li berty to say cannot be introduced with too much caution and deliberation, but of those other modes of facilitating traffic which so essentially conduce to the interests of the country.—(Loud cheers.) I trust the encouragment of those great objects, and the development of those great resources, may contribute to the wealth, and tend to the per manent improvement of this great empire. I hope that these may be the measures which shall most de mand my assistance. It is true, my Lords and Gen tlemen, that of these measures I cannot hope to see the full success, but I trust you w ill d o me th e j ust i ce to believe that I speak from my heart when I say I shall not labour the less assiduously to sow the seeds and to water the soil, because another may gather and enjoy the fruit—that I shall not the less labour to raise the column of your honour and your glory, because I have not been the first to found it.—(Loud cheers.) My Lords and Gentlemen, of my admini stration in India I shall not expect anything more but that my measures and my policy may give you re newed reasons for entertaining the confident belief that your power in the East is not less irresistible by the force ofyourarms than by the purity, beneficence, and justice of your rule.—(The Noble Lord resumed his seat amidst loud applause.) The CHAIRMAN rose to propose a toast which he was sure would receive their heartiest approbation. The administration of her Majesty's navy had been entrusted to Lord Auckland, and to that branch of the public service he brought a name distinguished by his connexion with them in the East. The Noble Lord, as was well known to them all, had obtained for his tried and able services the satisfaction of the In dian community and of the Parliament of this coun try. He gave them "Lord Auckland, and prosperity to the Navy." The Earl of AUCKLAND returned thanks. He could not but feel the greatest pride and satisfaction at having his name associated with so distinguished a branch of the public service. He was glad to be present on that occasion, when his Noble Friend re ceived from the East India Company so striking a proof of friendship and good-will for his administra tion. He was glad to believe that there were officers then among them equal to any difficulty—he was glad to believe th a t th e navy had never been more qualified to accomplish a victory than it was at pre sent—(Cheers)—and he was satisfied that the navy never was better prepared to meet any danger to which the country might be exposed. Whilst he thanked them for drinking his health in connexion with the navy, he could assure them he lost none of the interest he had always felt for the British army. He was glad to be able to express his best wishes for the success of the administration of his Noble Friend.— (Cheers.) He was glad to have an opportunity of expressing his confidence, from his knowledge of the public conduct and private character of the Noble Lord, that the government of the great Indian em pire could not be entrusted to any man more likely to crnsolidate its power, to promote its prosperity, and to secure the happiness of the many millions en trusted to his charge.—(Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said he had to regret the absence of the Noble Duke at the head of her Majesty's armies, whose presence would have been so gratifying to them all.—(Cheers.) His name was identified with the military honours, fame, and glory of this country. It was engraven on the heart of every living English man, and would be cherished by the children of their most remote posterity. He it was who had led them after many victories to the crowning triumph at Waterloo, which had restored peace and independence to the nations of Europe. He was sure that, however, they must all regret his absence, they would pay all due honour to his name, however insufficient it might be to show their estimation and esteem for his emi nent services. —(Cheers.) Sir J. MACDONALD returned thanks for the army. He believed it was in every respect as good as ever it had been, and offered his congratulations on the ap pointment of a Noble Lord who inherited all the virtues of his father. The Marquis of Doußo returned thanks for the Duke of Wellington. He felt deeply the kind way in which they had proposed his health, and the man• ner in which it had been received by the company. Nothing but unavoidable circumstances could have prevented the Duke of Wellington from being present, for nothing could have given him greater pleasure than to give his noble friend, for whom he enter tained the greatest esteem and affection, as well as respect for his abilities, his company on such an oc casion. Nor c o uld a n ything have been more p l easant to the Duke o f Wellington than to . have h eard the horesolutionsne N st oble ord haad nn and modest his intenti on w ithspiratons to which the do his duties in India.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said he rose to propose the next great pleasure. He rejoiced e to x a c s e t ed ni n it g h l v fe a el t in th g e s of presence of the head of her Ma jesty's Government. The members of that Govern ment were patriots. Whatever their party, they wished well to their country, and turned their atten tion to the public good. The Noble Lord at the head of the Government was a patriot, and though there might be and there would be political difficulties and great embarrassments, yet a patriot would never despond. Courage and unyielding patriotism would , get them through all their difficulties. The Noble Lord was a man who would not flinch. He was a man who would not tremble in the battlements, and he (the Chairman) wished him success in all those measures which had for their end the honour of the people and the greatness and welfare of the country. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who was received with applause and cheering, rose and said—Mr. Chairman, my Lords, and Gentlemen, I rise with feelings of gratitude to return you my sincere thanks for the honour you have done me and her Majesty's Govern ment on the present occasion. I rejoice to be enabled ha t v h e ose always who to come here upon what our Ch a i rman h as called this behoved I auspicious occasion, when L or d D a lh ousie is about to f u e n l t d e t h r t a a t k o e n the suh j g e o c v t s e r o n f m this e t of kindi India. t held the reins of power to lay aside all personal con s id era ti ons, and t party and o consider c solely and entirely wh a t was b est for the empire.— (Cheers.)

Diffidence, er a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary ono may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un congprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, aliti broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and modal content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

THE MAMMOTH SALE AT VAUXHALL GARDENS. —Yesterday, the extensive stud of horses, ponies, camels, with the two stupendous elephants, were brought to the hammer by Mr. Tattersall. Unlike the attend ance of the two former days, there was a much more numerous meeting, including a few of our leading no bility in the sporting world, and many well-known turfites, with a number of dealers. The sale was without reserve, and many of the horses were disposed of at fair prices, while others went for a small figure. The " Waterloo Ground" was selected as the spot, as offering a good opportunity for the display of the animals' paces and quality, There were 60 horses and 16 ponies sold. The two noble elephants went at the unprecedentedly low figure of 100 guineas each, which, with eight camels and seven of the finest horses, were purchased by Mr. Batty, of the Amphitheatre. Leo, a noble dog, of the bloodhound breed, brought 12 guineas. The greatest surprise was manifested by all present at the insignifi cant sum which the elephants went for, 7001. or 1,0001 being confidently l oo k e d f or b y their sale. SUICIDE.--A bout half-past nine o'clock on Monday morning, a man unlrnown, of middlo stature, dressed in a black coat and vest and corduroy trousers, called at Mr. Farrell's, Temperance Coffee-house, No. 4, Casneau street, and asked for the key to look at the next house, which was to be let.

She closed the window, which the man must have opened, and went out, locking the door after her, supposing all to be right. About half-past three o'clock, a person, having got the key to see the house, found the deceased lying dead in a pool of blood on , the floor of the first back bed room, with his throat cut, and a razor lying about a quarter of a yard from him.—Liverpool Standard. MoNEr ORDERS.—Mr. Rowland Hill, notwith standing the vast increase in this department of the Post office, entertains the opinion—and his opinion on such a matter is entitled to the utmost weight—that the produce of granting money orders is unprofitable to the State. We had always imagined that the immense number of post office orders which are issued produced a handsome and a profitable return; but when we consider the number of clerks employed, and the vast sum of money which must be constantly sunk in carrying on the operations with regularity, and which yields no interest, we confess that our opinion on the matter has been somewhat shaken by the expression of Mr. Hill's calculations.—Civil and Mercantile Journal of November. prietors and others connected w Last Saturday an importan i t th m th e e et ß in o g ya o l f ßa th n e k pro took place at Live r p oo l, w hi c h was no t over until the middle particularsofthoday w o e f re Sa p tu u r b d li a s y h . ed in About a the Observe r o'clock on S un d ay morn i ng.

B RITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH ; NEW-ROAD, LONDON . . Report of Richard Tothill, Esq., of lleavitree, near Exeter, C.S.L., for 1847. - . . " I have now for twelve years conducted the Exeter Hygeian Dis pensary, wherein the poor of Exeter and its neighbourhood have been treated gratuitously with Mr. Morison's purely Vegetable Medicine of the British College of Health, and I am still more confirmed in my opinion (from practical experience, not In one er two cases, but in hundreds), that the Hygeian system is founded in truth. The cases which have been cured by that excellent medicine have not been of a common character, being, as T may say, the incurables of the hos pitals at Exeter, it being only after trying all sorts of treatment, that patients have recourse, as a last retort, to the Hygeian medicines. The names of the parties and their addresses are recorded in my book for the inspection of the public. I have treated upwards of 300 poor patients during the past year, and have now about 150 on the Dispensary books. In conclusion, I beg to return my sincere thanks to the subscribers to the Dispensary. (Signed) " RICHARD TOTIIILL, , Surgeon sc." November 1, 1847." TO Till LADIES. This lady had the following letter — inserted in the "Mmes" news paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put Into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony t• the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain if its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume itis far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any 'ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w drops on the crown if the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and Pirevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ton or twelve drops n the crown of the head ; if v..ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief Is certain in ten minutes. It produces air on children's heads in a few appplioatiens. If used on infants' cads, it has such a peculiar cooling inftuenee on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

It was with that view that my Right Honourable Friend the President of the Board of Control, and the rest of my colleagues, acted when we intimated to the direc tors of the East India Company that if their choice should fall on Lord Dalhousie as Governor-General of India, that we, her Majesty's Government, would iiasllnbdaepGpeogeiunnattllmetroznetnht.e—mth(oLattoi:tedhseuc.heers.) I trust, m not lose a moment in advising her Majesty to con- Lords h i which success actuatedo of this i t,maenady sfiurne that the exertions of the Noble Lord will be devoted with all his energy to the improvement of the eo to the maintai n i ng o f the empire committed p t ohis sle charge, and that he will show us, as his immediate pre decessor Lord Hardinge has shown us, that resolution in administering justice, that forbearance in circum stances of irritation and foreign aggression, which have been attended with such success, and that be will prove to us that a sedulous care for the improve ment of the internal condition of India is, with those other qualities which I have mentioned, compatible with the utmost spirit, and the most intrepid courage in repelling any aggression that may be made on us by our enemies, and in crushing those who may exhibit themselves as the foes of the British empire. I only trust that when Lord Dalhousie shall return from India that his countrymen shall be able to con gratulate him on having confirmed the political cha racter he has already acquired, that they may wish him joy of the fame he has established, and that it may be connected with the happiness of the people of India and with the benefit of all good government. Mr. Chairman, you have done me the honour of referring to the difficulties and dangers which may overshadow the prosperity of the empire. I believe, sir, that there are those times of adversity which occur almost at stated periods, when the fond hopes that had been indulged of the continual sunshine of prosperity are for a time darkened beneath clouds of despondency; but, sir, I trust to the energy, Industry, and to the indomitable perseverance of the British people to deliver us from such difficulty and adversity.—(Cheers.) I believe there is nothing in the present condition of this people which could induce the most timid statesman to de spond.—(Cheers.) For my own part, despondency is not a sentiment natural to me—(Loud laughter and cheers)—and I believe, whatever judgment may be passed by the tribunal of this country upon the mea sures and the course pursued by the Government of the day, I believe the conduct of the people of this country, and their indomitable energy, will carry them through this period of adversity, and that we shall resume our station—the foremost station which we have held among the nations of the world. The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of Sir John Cam Hobhouse, the President of the Board of Con trol." Sir JOHN C. HOIMOUSE returned thanks for 'the honour. He rejoiced to be present on an occasion when they were about conferring their authority on the Noble Lord, and placing him in a station which was fatal to mediocrity, but would give him the opportunity of displaying his great and good qua lities. He was not the child of party, and his success would not excite the envy of a rival or the hatred of a subdued faction. By letters received that day from Lord Hardinge, he (Sir J. C. Hobhouse) was glad to be enabled to inform them that the appointment of Lord Dalhousie had been hailed with universal approbation. He was going to rule over a land where the greatest statesmen had exercised their abilities, and he hoped that after a successful administration he might return to his native land to enjoy a long life of happiness and ease. The CHAIRMAN proposed " Lord Hardinge"—(Loud cheers)—and pronounced a high eulogium on the Noble and Gallant General. He had conquered the foes of humanity, he had introduced order instead of confusion, and had consolidated a people as opposed in national prejudice and religious feeling as they were hostile to the British sway. He had conquered internal discord, and restored freedom, peace, and order to all those various nations. He was now leaving that country full of honours, and might soon be expected among them to receive those rewards which he had so nobly and justly acquired. He drank the health of Lord Hardinge, and his happy return to his native land.—(Applause.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Judges of the Land, and our Legal Institutions." Sir F. Poixocx returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The health of the Right llon. T. B. Macaulay."—(Cheers). The LORD MAYOR returned thanks for his health and for the City of London. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Civil Service of India." Sir C. LUSHINGTON returned thanks, and After several other toasts were proposed and re sponded to, the company separated. THE RIVER PLATE. We beg to direct attention to the following im portant correspondence between Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert and the authorities in Monte Video, brought to hand per Regina. It was understood that the fort in question was about to be delivered up to the French. (From the Comercio del Plata.) Monte Video, August 25, 1847. Sir,—The Government being under the necessity of occupying the fort of San Jose, at present gar risoned by the forces of her Britannic Majesty, I am charged to request you to be good enough to give orders for its being evacuated as quickly as possible, and to be pleased to inform me as soon as it is done.

Sir,—l request that you will have the goodness to inform the British merchants, that in consequence of an application made through the provisional govern ment of Monte Video, I am about to evacuate Fort San Jose' ; and therefore I feel compelled to withdraw at the same time from the shore the men that I have hitherto stationed with a view to protect British sub jects and their property in case of need, as without Fort San Jose, I do not consider myself justified in. keeping a portion of the forces under my command detached, without that rallying point of which they are now deprived.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean are making a most successful tour in the provinces before appearing at the Haymarket. In speaking of their visit to Sheffield last week, the Sheffield Times observes:—" Wednesday night, however, was the grand night, and the house was crowded to suffocation ; the consequence of which was that a long space of time elapsed before anything like a hearing could be obtained for the stage, and Mr. Widdi comb and Mr. Dillon severally addressed the house, re.: questing them, if dissatisfied, to quit and obtain their entrance money back. This had the desired result. The scenic effect was completely lost owing to the numbers admitted on the stage, both before and behind the cur tain. The crowd was so dense on the stage that the scenery could scarcely be worked. The Stranger was played in one act, and Mrs. Centline's Comedy of t h e Wonder also." They are n ow perforrai g in Binning.. ham, and appear a t Li ver p oo l next week. 11- OYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.
