The Duke of WELLINGTON believed the measure would be one of great utility, and did not mean to oppose it. He, however, protested against the immense issue of exchequer bills, and asked if it would not be possible to throw the issue over a larger space of time. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said it was not intended that any large proportion of the amount should be issued at once. Not more than £60,000 of exchequer bills would be issued in the course of thQ first year ; and the work would extend over four, five, or six years. After some further discussion, the bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. Lord DUNCANNON moved the second reading of the Un lawful Oaths (Ireland) Bill. He should only allude more particularly to that part of the bill which enabled the autho rities, where pass-words were found in the possession of any individual, to declare that such individual should be consi dered equally guilty as if he actually belonged to assemblies of that kind. Lord WHARNCLIFFE said, it was very clear that some thing beyond the existing law was necessary to reach these most dangerous associations. He had seen no notice of this bill until after the evidence taken before their lordships' committee on the state of crime in Ireland ; and he claimed, therefore, for that committee, whatever merits were attach able to this bill. After a long debate, the bill was read a second time. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY. RAILROADS. Sir J. CAMPBELL moved for a revision of the standing or der requiring a deposit of 10 per cent. on railroads. In il lustration of the benefit derived from this mode of commu nication, he stated that on Tuesday he had conducted a pro secution of great importance at the Warwick assizes; and the same evening, at six o'clock he was in his place in that house, ready to bring on his motion, if he had not been pre vented by the house having been very unfairly counted out. The House of Lords had inquired into the subject, and found that 5 per cent. was a sufficient deposit ; but as this house had come to the conclusion that the deposit should be 10 per cent, the mitigation in the other house of parliament was wholly unavailable. HP proposed that the deposit of 10 per cent should be paid by two equal instalments—the first, of 5 per cent, before the bill was brought in, and the second, of 5 per cent, before the concern was commenced. As an instanre of the injurious effects resulting from the present rules of the house, he mentioned the railroad now in contem plation from Newcastle to Edinburgh, an undertaking ap proved of and supported by men of capital and substance. But they found it a serious matter to deposit 10 per cent. on the capital required to carry out the line, which might be locked up and totally useless for a period of two years. Mr. P. THOMSON opposed the motion. The only case his learned friend had instanced of inconvenience was Edin burgh, and his motion said in effect that the inhabitants of such a city as the metropolis of Scotland were so poor, so miserable, and so badly off, that they could not pay up 10 per cent on the sum required for an undertaking from which they expected so much benefit. His learned friend ought to have asked the house to repeal the standing order in regard to Edinburgh alone. He denied that 5 per cent would be a sufficient check on gambling speculations. After some discussion the house divided, when the motion was lost by a majority of 62 to 45. Lord J. Rtissum, presented a petition from the Medical and Surgical Association, consisting of nearly 1,200 mem bers, expressing their opinion that the present state of medi cal education, and power of granting degrees or licenses to practise physic and surgery, were in a most unsatisfactory state ; that there were not less than 16 modes of acquiring the necessary education and passing examination ; and pray ing that persons practising medicine or surgery, in the three kingdoms, might be qualified according to the well-known and uniform rules. POOR-LAW CONTINUANCE BILL. The order of the day for receiving the report on the poor. law commission continuance bill having been read, Mr. DARBY moved that the following clause be introduced in the bill :—" That it shall be lawful for the guardians of any parish or union, if they shall think fit, to give relief in any parish or union to any widow having a family, or to any able-bodied person who shall have been married before the passing of the 4th and sth of William IV. c. 76, and who shall be unable by his industry to maintain his chil dren, the issue of such marriage, notwithstanding any pro vision contained in this act, or in the said recited act, or any order or orders issued by virtue of this act, or of the said recited act, to the contrary. Provided always that no part of such relief to such able-bodied labourer shall be in money." Captain HAMILTON was confident that the guardians under the poor-law bill would very generally view this clause with great objection. Lord JOHN RUSSELL considered the clause inconsistent with the rest of the act, and calculated to produce great dis satisfaction among the labouring population, by dividing them into two classes. Lord G. SOMERSET should support the clause, as he had no confidence in the commissioners, who had not acted with sound discretion with respect to out-door relief. Lord ELIOT thought the commissioners had acted with very great and proper discretion, and that this clause would lead to great dissatisfaction among the labouring classes. Mr. WAKLEY asked English gentlemen whether they would put their feet on the necks of the poor, and say, Your condition is comfortable enough, and we don't care for you. With respect to the poor, he maintained that they had a right to relief from their country, and not in a gaol, which he took a workhouse to be, and nothing else. Nothing was more preposterous than making a distinction between those mar ried before and after a particular day as to right of relief Wherever destitution existed, relief should be given. He wished to know whether the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) was prepared to relax or not. Lord HOWICK said the question was whether they should revert to the old principle of giving relief in aid of wages. If he were called on to make this great and fatal change, he would rather do so boldly and avowedly than go that length by successive steps, and practising delusion on the public as to their intentions. The honourable member for Finsbury admitted, that no harsh treatment had been. proved, either on the part of commissioners or unions with regard to widows ; and where, then, was the necessity of legislating on the sub ject at present? In answer to the question whether it was intended to relax the poor-law bill, his noble friend (Lord John Russell) had stated that next year he would introduce a measure with a view of correcting any defects which he conceived to exist in the working of the bill at present. Mr. ESTCOURT saw nothing unfair in the clause. Mr. J. A. WOOD denied that the poor-law bill had afforded any practical relief to the country. Mr. BRAMSTON opposed the clause, and the house divided, when it was lost by a majority of 77 to 42. A clause, moved by Lord G. SOMERSET, authorising the giving relief to widows left with a child or children, without reference to the date of marriage, without requiring such widow to receive relief in a workhouse, was lost by a majority of 64 to 43. A clause, proposed by Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, to prevent fe male paupers, of upward s o f s ixty-fi ve y ears , from being kept at hard work, was negatived without a division. The report was then received, and the bill ordered to be read a thud time on Friday. The report of the Bastardy Bill was received, and the bill ordered to be read a third time on Friday. The County and District Constabulary Bill went through a committee. A clause was moved by Mr. EWART, that the bill should remain in force only till 1841, in order that the country might have an opportunity of considering the question. The clause was lost by a majority of 77 to 21. On the motion for bringing up the report on the Poor rates Collection Bill, Mr. T. DuNCOMBE maintained that there was no occasion for so obnoxious a measure, and moved the addition of a clause to prevent the operation of the bill being extended to parishes governed by local acts, which was negatived. The Rogue Money Assessments Bill, the Metropolis Im provement Bill, &c., were forwarded a stage. On the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, the Lords' amendments to the Imprisonment for Debt Bill were agreed to. Lord Howic lc obtained leave to bring in a bill for enabling justices of the peace to act in isolated parts of other counties included within their own county. Lord PALMERSTON moved for and obtained leave to bring in a bill for the more effectual suppression of the traffic in slaves. He was quite satisfied that by this bill the crown would have powers effectually to check the trade. Sir R. I s oLis and Capt. PECILELL urged the importance of passing the bill without any delay. Lord PALMERSTON afterwards brought in the bill, and gave notice that he should move on Friday the suspension of the standing orders, so that he might take the bill through all its remaining stages. The bill was then read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Friday. The house adjourned at a quarter after two o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS.--FRIDAY. Lord DuNcANNoN deferred the second reading of the Sheep Stealing (Ireland) Bill till Monday, the Duke of Rich mond having expressed a doubt as to the propriety of the mitigation of punishment proposed by the bill. The Postage Duties Reduction" Bill was read the third time and passed, on motion of Lord DUNCANNON-it now only awaits the royal assent to become the law of the land. The Soldiers' Pensions Bill, and the Public Works (Ire land) Bill, were severally read the third time and passed. The Dublin Police Bill was read the second time. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from a Mr. Taylor, of Bury, surgeon, who had been captured at Birmingham as a rioter, when, in fact, he was assisting the police, sent to Warwick Gaol and there stripped, his hair cut, and in other respects treated like a felon. His lordship also complained of the harsh treatment to which Vincent, the chartist, is sub jected. Lord Brougham added, that he did not know whether this was to be taken " as a sample of the manner in which the threat used by the home secretary," in the House of Commons, two nights ago, regarding the administration of justice, was to be carried into effect. Lord MELBOURNE said that the case should be inquired into; if the representations were correct, there certainly ap peared some ground for complaint. A conversation arose on the Metropolis Police Courts Bill, Lord DUNCANNON, who moved the second reading, sug gesting that the discussion on it should be taken on the ques tion of going into committee. The Highway Rates Bill went through committee. The third reading was fixed for Monday. The Poor Law Commissioners' Continuance Bill was read the first time ; after which their lordships adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OP COMMONS.-FRIDAY. - - - - - - Sir R. INGLIS presented a petition from Mr. Barry Bald win, one of the " double return" for Totness, praying that he and not Mr. Blount might be declared duly elected. Lord J. RUSSELL thereupon deferred the consideration of election petitions from August 22 to September 10, so as to carry them beyond the present session. Lord J. RUSSELL deferred the consideration of the lords' amendments to the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Bill till Monday, the amendments, as printed not being in the hands of members ; he also deferred the third reading of the Poor Rates Collection Bill till Monday. He added, in an swer to further inquiries, that he proposed to proceed with the Church Discipline Bill on Monday or Tuesday. Mr. FRESHFIELD (the Poor Law Commissioners' Conti nuance Bill having been read the first time), moved that the following proviso be added at the end of the bill, " That it shall not be lawful for the said commissioners, by any rules or regulations not already made, to prohibit or limit the ad ministration of relief to able-bodied labourers or their families out of the workhouse of any parish or union ;" but after some conversation it was negatived without a division ; the bill passed, sent to the lords, and there read the first time. The Manchester and Bolton Police Bills were read the second time, after extended conversations, and some ex tlanation. from the ATTORNEY -GENERAL as to the doubts hat had arisen regardi ng the legal construction of the powers under the new charter. The bills are to be considered in committee on Tuesday morning. Lord J. RUSSELL having moved that the house resolve into committee on the Birmingham Police Bill, Mr. Wil liams proposed, and Mr. T. Attwood seconded the propo sition, that it be committed that day three months. The amendment was negatived without a division. In com mittee Mr. C. Buller proposed that the appointment of the chief commissioner be vested in the town council of Bir pglighaT instead of the queen; but that Pr0P051404 was negatived by 63 for the original clauses, and 20 for the amendment—majority of 43 against Mr. C. Buller's pro position. [The blank regarding the commissioner' s sa l ar y was filled up with " £Boo.' ] Report on Monday. The Metropolis improvement bill was read a third time and passed, after some conversation ; as was also the stage car riages bill. The joint stock banking comimnies bill went through com mittee. The report on the militia pay bill was received, and the bill ordered to be read a third time on Wednesday. The tithe commutation act amendment bill was considered in committee, as was also the excise licences (sale of spirits) bill. The slave trade suppression (No. 2) bill was read a second time, considered in committee, and the report received (the standing orders having been dispensed with); and the bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time on Monday. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, on reading the order of the day for going into committee of ways and means, moved a long list of resolutions, amounting, in all, to twelve, upon the condi tion of the country, and its causes, and concluding with the following :—" That, until the spirit and course of legislation in the imperial parliament be changed, and proper regard had to the welfare and wishes o f th e w h o l e peop l e, instead of the interests of predominant classes, no security from the recur rences of such disturbances, s the government now demands the aid of parliament to repress can be reasonably expected." Debate ensued thereon, in which Lord John Russell, Mr. Villiers, Mr. D'lsraeli, Mr. Ewart, Mr. Warburton, &c. took part, after . which the house divided, when the resolu tions were lost by a majority of 22, the numbers being 51 against, and 29 for, the motion. On the motion of Mr. EWART was ordered a " Return of the number of executions which took place in England and Wales in the five years ending the 31st day of December, 1833, and in the five years ending the 31st day of December, 1838 ; together with the number of commitments in each of those periods respectively for offences which were capital at the commencement of the former period—viz., on the Ist day of January, 1829." SENTENCES UPON THE BIRMINGHAM RIOTERS.—WARwrcx, THURSDAY. This'morninw Judge Littledale came into court about half past nine o'clock, and immediately afterwardS he proceeded to pass the following sentences : Jeremiah Howell, Francis Roberts, and John Jones, were then placed in the dock. The Clerk of the Arraigns then asked the prisoners what they had to say why sentence of death should not be pro nounced upon them. Mr. Justice Littledale then put on his black cap, and ad dressed the prisoners. They had been convicted of felony by ajury of their country, for demolishing the house of James and Henry Bourne, at Birmingham. This offence, by the policy of our law, had for many years been punishable with death; and though of late years many offences which were before capital had, by the humanity of the Legislature, been mitigated, the punishment for that offence had not been re duced, and it was still thought proper to retain the punish ment of death for that offence. Even at this time, as to such offences as remained capital, where there were any allevia ting circumstances, mercy was usually and properly extended. But, he regretted to say, that their offence was not one of that description, nor could he, in the discharge of his public duty, honestly recommend them to mercy. They had been aware that Birmingham had for some time been in a very ex cited state. Riots had from time to time occurred, which it had been found very difficult to suppress, till at length on the 15th of July they reached their highest pitch—houses were then demolished and burnt, property to a great value de stroyed, and but for the interposition of a superior force, the mob might have had possession of the town, and a much greater amount of property might have been destroyed, and many lives sacrificed. In this act of demolition the prisoners unfortunately engaged themselves, and began the devastation. He, therefore, found it necessary, as far as lay in his power, to make an example of those who had been convicted in order to prevent similar outrages in Birmingham and other parts of the kingdom where such things might be contemplated. He hoped that some benefit to others, at least, would result from their sad example, and that those who should hear the account of these lamentable outrages and their result would be warned by it from the commission of similar offences. But although he could hold out no hope of mercy here, there was for them a hope of obtaining mercy in another world from that Almighty Being who understood all hearts, and was al ways disposed to grant it where there was humble and true repentance. Their time here was fast approaching to its end, and they must be prepared to meet their God. He entreated them to employ that time in true repentance for all their of fences, and endeavour to obtain, through the merits and in tercession of our Saviour Jesus Christ, that mercy from God which they could not hope for from man.. It now only re mained for him to pronounce the awful sentence of the law ; which was, that they, Jeremiah Howell, Francis Roberts, and John Jones, be severally taken to the place from whence they came, and that they be taken from thence to the place of execution, and there severally hanged by the neck till they were dead; and (concluded the judge,) may the Lord in his infinite mercy have mercy on your souls. Thomas Aston (the lad who was convicted for the same offence as the other prisoners) was then brought to the front of the dock. Mr. Justice Littledale said 'in his case it did not appear to him that the awful sentence of the 'law which would be recorded against him should be carried into effect, and his life would probably be spared. He would take time to con sider for what his sentence should be commuted. John Neale, William Shears, 'William Eades, Eleazar Hughes, and James Pomeroy, convicted of misdemeanour and riot, were next placed in the dock. The Learned Judge, after commenting on the offences of which they had been found guilty, said he found it necessary in their cases, and in order to discourage such scenes of tu mult, the consequences of which, when once begun, no man could foresee, and protect life and property in Birmingham and elsewhere, to inflict a severe punishment. He, therefore, sentenced them severally to eighteen months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, and hard labour. The following prisoners, convicted of the same offence, some of whom pleaded guilty, and in favour of whom there were mitigating circumstances, were then placed at the bar, and received the following sentences : John Drinkworth, twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. James Rhodes, nine months' irnprisonmentand hard labour. John Storey, Frederick Mason, and Thomas Salter six months' imprisonment an d h ar d l a b our. , John Swift, William Clift, and Thomas Ring, were dis charged on entering into their own recognizances in £4O each to appear and receive judgment when called upon. John Collins and William Lovett were then placed at the bar, and asked why the court should not pronounce sentence upon them for the misdemeanour of which they had been convicted ? Mr. Lovett addressed the court : Because. in the first place, he was convinced that the jury was prejudiced against him. He had it from very good authority that several of them declared their express wish that all the chartists should be hanged. That, he submitted, was a very good reason for a lenient sentence. His lordship would also take into con sideration the evidence on the trial, and the proof of the facts set forth in the placard, combined with the prejudiced feel ings of the jury —circumstances which ought to weigh much in the present case. Mr. Justice Littledale then addressed the prisoners. They stood severally convicted of having published a seditious libel. He had taken all the circumstances of the case into his se rious consideration. John Collins had received a good cha racter, and the jury, on that account, had recommended him to mercy. In Lovett's case the jury did not so recommend. At the same time, he observed that Lovett had received a very good character, and though the jury had not recom mended him to the merciful consideration of the court, he would not on that account make any difference in their sen tence. The sentence of the court was, that they be severally imprisoned in the common gaol of this county for one year. Mr. Collins said, in the year 1821, George Edmonds, Charles Maddox, William Greathead Lewis, and Thomas Jonathan Wooller were convicted for a similar offence, and made an application to the court, which was granted, that they should be imprisoned on the debtors' side instead of the felons' side. He humbly made application to his lordship that the same indulgence might be extended on the present occasion. Mr. Justice Littledale observed what he said, but it did not appear to him that it was in his power to give any such direction. Generally speaking, the debtors' side ought to be appropriated to debtors only. The Secretary of State had, doubtless, the power to grant such an application. Since 1821, and, as well as he could remember, in the year 1824 or 1825, an act of parliament had been passed laying down cer tain rules for the classification of prisoners. He, therefore, did not feel that he had any power to give any such direction, but if they had any application to make on the subject, they must address the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment. Mr. Collins : A long time since that act was passed, my lord, Mr. Guest, of Birmingham, and Mr. Watts, were im prisoned for selling unstamped papers, and they were im prisoned on the debtors' side. Mr. Justice Littledale : I apprehend that was only by the direction of the judges. Mr. Collins : The trial took place in London, and they were removed to the debtors side on an application to the court of quarter sessions. He presumed that a superior court had at least as much authority as the court of quarter sessions. Mr. Justice Littledale : 1 apprehend I have no power. The Clerk of Arraigns : Certainly not, my lord, as a judge of assize. Mr. Justice Littledale : You can apply to the Secretary of State for the Home Department. William Dowling, a wealthy manufacturer of Coventry, who had been convicted of larceny, was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment in the house of correction in Coventry. The business of the assize was then closed. AT ATHENS.-Mr. George Robins is unquestionably the Napoleon of " The Fifth Estate."—as Auctiondom has re cently been termed,--for his territorial conquests extend on every side, and übiquity alone can characterise his genius. One day we see him in the centre of the metropolis, presid ing over palaces and princely establishments--anon he is to be found in the fertile valleys of the west, revelling admidst cultivated gardens, umbrageous woods, smiling meadows, and scenes of more than Italian beauty ;—and again, before we have time to recover from his glowing descriptions, we hear of him in the mountains of the north, lording it over vast tracts of lake and mountain scenery, or with a breath disposing of feudal castles and baronial halls. To these wonders we have long been accustomed,—and have ceased to feel surprise at the rapidity or energy of his movements ; but that he possesses the means of still exciting our admira tion he has given us ample proof by bringing within the sphere of his controul the most beautiful, and at the same time the most remote parts of Europe, and compelling the distant regions of the new world to acknowledge his sway. In his latest achievement he has extended his dominion to the classic soil of Attica, amid the groves of Academus, and over the shores of the ./Egean. There, where the immortal ruins of the ancient fane of Grecian worship still greet the traveller's eye,—in that " Bright clime of battle and of song," the home of the heart to all who hold the memory of Greece in affection, has he established a new throne. We do not, however, mean to imply that Mr. Robins has at last received, in the sovereignty of Greece, the meet reward of his labours, but simply that he has now at his disposal a valuable estate near Athens, the characteristic beauties and advantages of which we fear to mar by using words of our own to describe. Nor should we have interfered at all with his province of description, had we not been forcibly struck by the s t range chances which " the whirlgig of time" brings about, not the least remarkable of which the fact of an Athenian villa, on the site where, haply, Socrates or Plato may have dwelt, being sold by auction in Covent-garden. His advertisement of Athens is decidedly his best composition ; it is too long for insertion here, but we cannot refrain from quoting a sin gle passage, that leads to a most happy quotation. After stating that it would require the pen of Byron to do it justice, and, the necessary consequence that he approaches his task in fear and trembling, he goes on to say that the chateau, which is placed in the Olive Grove, and commands a splendid view of the Acropolis and the city, is suited to a family not very large, but whose minds are imbued with reminiscences of the glory of that once famed city— " Shrine of the mighty !—can it be That this is all remains of thee ?" he concludes by this ejaculation—" Oh ! that the pen of the great bard could at this moment lend its influential aid and direct the one that now falters in the vain attempt to give a moderate portraiture of the landscape—but this is hopeless," Herald, Aug 8, LORD BROUGHAM AND THE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY. Lord Brougham has been curiously brought before public notice within these few days, by Lord Londonderry and himself, in a pamphlet controversy. The noble marquis, naturally incensed by the able " Historical Sketches of the Statesmen of George the Third," in the Edinburgh Review, has published a letter to Lord Brougham and Vaux, in which some amusing disclosures are revealed. Lord Londonderry states, that, notwithstanding the opinion of the reviewer of the late Lbrd Castlereagh, Lord Brougham, in 1812, offered to serve under his majesty's then minister, as ambassador to the United States. The following is the published offer .Durham, August 1, 1812. My Lord,—l am confident that the step which lam now taking cannot be misconstrued by your lordship. Under the present circumstances, I beg to make a tender of my services to his majesty's government in the conduct of the negotiation with the United States, wheresoever the same may be carried on. I am induced to think, that 1 might be of use as a nego tiator in this affair, not merely from having had the honour of being employed diplomatically by the late Tvl r. Secretary Fox, but chiefly because, from the share which I have acci dentally had in the American question, there seems a-proba bilitv of such an arrangement either facilitating an adjustment in America, or, should this unhappily fail, of rendering that failure less unsatisfactory to this country. I trust it is unnecessary to add, that I can have no motives of a private or Personal nature in making this offer. Should it be accepted, I must necessarily sustain a considerable injury in my professional pursuits ; and, as a party man, I should expose myself to a full share of any blame attaching to the conduct or result of the negotiation. But this is one of those occasions upon which neither individual nor party feelings can find a place in my mind. If, on the other hand, this proposition is rejected, I beg leave to assure your lordship that I shall not feel in the small degree slighted, but shall continue fervently to hope for the success of the negotiation, in what hands soever the management of it may be placed.—l have the honour to be, with great respect, my, lord, your lordship's obedient and humble servant, (Signed) HENRY BROUGHAM. To the Lord Viscount Castlereagh, &c. &c. The Marquis of Londonderry then asks, how it was that " Lord Castlereagh's administration" is described by Lord Brougham in the " Sketches" to be " as destitute of merit as possible." Lord Londonderry has published an ,answer to Lord Brougham's letter, in which he says (in a note) that he has no doubt the above copy of his letter is given exactly as it was sent, though a passage is omitted which he finds in his draft, referring to the pledge he had given, June 23, 1812, in the House of Commons, and to the solicitations of the opposers of the orders in council; and Lord Brougham further says, that Lord Castlereagh's answer, " cited in the text, shows that he had in his eye that pledge." The answer does not appear, but it is rumoured to be that his majesty had no occasion for Mr. Brougham's services. Lord Brougham writes, " I have no doubt that a copy of that answer will be found in his lordship's paper's ; and he may also have pre served a note which I wrote from Durham the following day." Lord Brougham publishes this second epistle as follows :-- " Durham, October 2,' 1812. "My Lord,—l omitted, in my letter of yesterday, to mention, that 1 shall have no hesitation in going to America, if the proposal of undertaking this negociation shall be, ac cepted, and it is to be conducted there. The cost to the country will only be my conveyance thither and back, with a single servant. " I have the honour to be, &c. ". Viscouiat Castlereagh, &c. &c." " H. BROUGH AM." Lord Brougham says that he made this curious poposal, -" in consequence of the strong solicitations of his fellow labourers at Liverpool, through whose exertions he bad been enabled to destroy the order in council; and in redemption of a pledge, ' both privately and publicly ' to Lord Castlereagh, to stand by him, if th e re p ea l of the orders should not satisfy. America, and the trade of England." Lord Brougham does not give Lord Castlereagh's answer . ; but says that Lord C.; in answering his letter, wrote, that " he considers that letter to have fully and honourably redeemed " the pledge. Arphonest autobiography of Lord Brougham would eclipse all other autobiographies, save that of Tally rand. BILL FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A COUNTY POLICE. [TRE WORDS IN ITALICS ARE . PROPOSED TO BE INSERTED IN COMMITTEE.] Sec. 1. That in all cases where it shall be made to appear to the justices of the peace of any county in England or Wales, in quarter sessions assembled, or at any adjournment thereof, that the ordinary officers appointed for preserving the peace are not sufficient for the preservation of the peace, and for the protection of the inhabitants and security of pro perty within the county, it shall be lawful for them to set forth, by a report in writing, under the hands of two or more of them, the area and population of the county, the number and description of the peace officers usually appointed therein, and the authority by which they are appointed, and to de clare how many constables are needed in their opinion to be permanently appointed within their county for preserving the peace, and preventing robberies and other felonies, and ap prehending offenders against the peace ; and it shall be lawful for the said justices, in and by the same report, if they shall think fit, to propose rules for the general government of the men so appointed, for their qualification, classification, rank, and particular service, for the rates of their allowances, the clothing, accoutrements, and necessaries, to be provided for them, and the performance of their duties : provided always, that the number of men proposed shall not be more than one man for every four thousand acres contained in the county, as nearly as the same may be ascertained, or more than one man for every thousand of the inhabitants, according to the last parliamentary enumeration of the population. 2.

(From the Newcastle Journal.) Few perhaps of those who have been convicted of crimes against our common nature have established for themselves by a single act, a notoriety equal to that which attaches to the subject of the present memoir. The workings of the hu man mind are mysterious and unfathomable—they are shrouded by that veil which hides from observation the in scrutable designs of Providence. To observe a man devoted to religious duties—nurtured in the lap of christiauity, and directed in all his early habits and pursuits by the ministers of a holy faith—yielding to the innate propensities of the hu man mind, and at length' falling a victim to their impetuosity, is well calculated to excite reflection, though the cause itself may be hidden and:mysterious. Such was the character— such the fate of Archibald Bolam, and the history of those circumstances and events, which mark the course of his re markable career, possess in consequence a peculiar and ex citing interest. _ Archibald Bolam was born of humble but honest and in dustrious parents, at Harbottle, a vilfage in the North West ern part of the County of Northumberland, and was , the youngest of four children, whose births, are thus registered among other memoranda of " George Bolam, born March 2nd, 1781. Alice John Archibald - 9th, 1797. N.B.—Just one week after the birth day of Archibald, the fatal 16th of August arrives !" The allusion intended by the writer of the above note is somewhat uncertain; it appears to have been ,, Written with the same ink, and at the same period of time as the entries above it. The writing resembles that of Archibald Bolam, and were we to attempt to fix. its date, we-should say it'had been written some time shortly after his, ,removal from Caistron to Newcastle, at which period, as will subsequently appear, his mind was in some degree affected by an incident which will fall afterwards to be.related-,-- John Bolam, the father of Archibald Bolam, pursued the humble calling of a clog-maker; - and - was' very highly - re spected in the neighbourhood, where he resided, and where he died, on the night of ThursdaY, the 12th of October, 1820, aged 04 years. Jane Bolam; his mother, Survived her tins band several years, and received_ those_ attentions front her children which contributed in some degree to render her old age comfortable. These filial dutieS, in the discharge of which none of her children were more distinguished .than the sub ject of the present memoir, we shall subsequently, have occa sion to notice more particularly. John Bolani had two brothers ; Ralph who died at Newcastle on the morning of Friday, the 3rd of November, ,1820, and George, who resided at Kirkharle, Northumberland. Appended to the registry of the death of Ralph Bolam, the uncle of Archibald; are the following remarks, written by the latter :—" It appears that there was only the short,space of three weeks and ten hours between the two brothers. Although the latter was ill some months before the former, yet he survived him only three weeks and ten hours ! God knows, whether I will outlive them a longer period." This gloomy forboding of ill appears to have formed a peculiar trait in the character of Archibald Bolan, as will appear more strikingly as our narrative advances. George Bolam, the brother of Archibald, has a wife and several children, and still resides at Harbottle, where he fol lows the occupation of his father. He is a person of indus trious habits, in easy circumstances, and held in general re spect by his neighbours. John is a stock farmer in Flex hamshire, in a comfortable way of business, and very highly respected. Alice is married to a Mr. Andrew Laidler, and has lived many years at Harbottle. In setting forth the family pedigree, it may be proper to explain the relationship of Mary Bolam, who was employed in cleaning out the Savings' Bank, and who was examined on the trial of Archi bald before Mr. Baron Mamie, for the murder of Mr. Millie. She is the daughter of the late Mr. George Bolam of Kirk harle, Northumberland ; and is consequently Archibald Bolam's cousin. In general character, Archibald appears to have resembled his mother more than his father, a circum stance which is by no means unusual. The village of Harbottle is pleasantly situated at the foot of the Clennell Hills, famed in Wilson's " Tales of the Border," and nearly surrounded by the river Coquet. The ancient castle is situated on a precipitous embankment on the north-east side of the village, and occupies a prominent place in the annals of border history, having afforded shelter alter nately to the crowned heads of both divisions of the island. Here the early days of Archibald Bolam were spent, his studies being directed by that true christian and zealous mi nister of the Scotch Church, the Rev. J. Patterson of Har bottle, whose ministry his parents attended for many years, and to whose instructions he often referred with satisfac tion at subsequent• periods of his life ; and in no instance, perhaps, more affectingly than in the letter which be ad dressed to that gentleman during his confinement in the gaol at Newcastle, under the charge of murder, for which he took his trial. He was not apprenticed to any trade; and to this circumstance he alludes with much feeling, in a letter to his mother, written about the period of the bank failures, in the year 1826. At school he was remarkable for his disinclina tion to participate in the amusements of his school-fellows, with whom he seldom associated ; and this feeling, in after life, marked him out as a person cf retired habits, and gene ral aversion to company. At the early age of 14 he commenced the world as teacher, in a school at Hallystone, a village about two miles from Harbottle, and sir from Rothbury, being situated near the confluence of the Dove-Crag Burn and th Coquet. He re mained there for some time, and then visited Newcastle, for the purpose of completing his education. He entered with Mr. Gouinlock, who at that time kept a respectable semi nary in High Friar-street, in the month of August, 1813, and remained with that genCeman until the following November. As matters, otherwise of little value, from the peculiar cir cumstances of the case, are rendered interesting, we shall in sert a copy of the account rendered by Mr. Gouinlock, for the instruction imparted to Bolam during this period : _ Newcastle, - Nov.. 13th, 1813.

This is to certify, that the beam'r of this, Me.- A Bolam, is a sober, steady, young man. _Ho has attended , my academy for some time, with great diligenCe and success. therefwe, I would recommend him as competent to teach the branchei he professes. • ‘3l - 11' t" G. GOUINLOCK. Fortified with this testimonial of hiS'clitiritaertitid , abili ties,, Bolam returned to his pater na l- roo f, An d ph qr tly wards, through the exertions of his friends i , 004nel:1. tin; appointment as a schoolmaster i n th e villaeof Caistion, about four miles from Rothbury. His laboizil here With eminently successful. The number of schol,mfacrelAct rapidly, and the circle of his acqn a inta n ed becathe much ex ? tended. Still, however, he could not, shalteroffillis natdif diSposition, and his social intercourse was,e4ceedipey • - - This appears to have been one o f tb e , " green-spots memory's - waste," to which he oftentimes , reeerred unmingled satisfaction. Whilst at Caistron, he lodged yith a Mr. Storey, who had a family of several children, some of whom were about the same, age as himself. With theni, however, he seldom associated, preferring solitude when unengaged in his scholastic duties, and avoiding every occa sion of meeting or mingling with the female portion of the family. Indeed, his aversion to the female sex appears even then to have attracted observation, and was sometimes made the subject of ridicule. On one occasion he was passing from the school-house, through the garden, to his lodgings, whilst the young folks were amusing themselves with throw inc, snow-balls, it being in the depth o f w i n t er ., O n e of the girls, in the buoyancy of youth exclaimed. " Here's,Bolam, ]et Us shy at hiM," expecting that he" join them in their diversion, and become one of the foremost in the garne. In this, however, the party were deceived; ,he made the best of his way into the house, retired into the parlour, and never spoke a word to any member of the family, with the single exception of old Mrs. Storey, for several days. The old dame severely reprimanded her children, for " meddling wi' th' schule-maister," who, besides being a privilegelcharac ter from his station, was, in the person of young Archibald, an especial favourite with the old people. This anecdote is related on the authority of one who knew him well at the period referred to, and strikingly illustrates his general cha racter at a later period of his life. During his residence at Caistron he had frequent oppor tunities of becoming acquainted with agriculture and the business of husbandry; but at that time he appears to have been entirely devoted to the duties of his profession. He alludes to the circumstance in a letter to his mother, after he had obtained the situation of Actuary at the Savings' Bank, at Newcastle, and expresses his regret at having neg lected so favourable an opportunity of learning to work. It is usual in most country schools to make a long vacation in the autumn, when the harvest field presents employment for both the aged and the young. These intervals were gene-• rally spent by Bolarn in Newcastle, where he could obtain the assistance of able masters in the various branches of study which he was desirous of cultivating. With this view he entered the large and respectable academy kept ,by Mr. Bruce, in Percy-street, where he subsequently became an assistant. The cause of his leaving Caistron, where he en joyed " many a happy hour," is involved in sprne obscurity, but there can be little doubt that he was greatly influenced in his determination by the circumstances attending the un timely death of one of the children under his charge. In the month. of August, 1818—and here we may recall to our recollection the " fatal " day previously alluded the boys were playing together as usual on the banks of the Coquet, during the dinner hour, when one of them unfor tunately fell into the river and was drowned. Bolam, on hearing of_the accident, ran instantly to the spot, but was only in time to witness the lifeless body of his pupil being taken out of the water by some of the people who, having been at work in an adjoining field, had, heard the cries of the rest of the boys, and come to their assistance. Reflections were thrown upon Bolam in consequence of this disaster, and there were found persons wicked enough to insinuate that he had some concern in causing, the melancholy catastrophe. The effect of such insinuations on a young and tender mind may be more easily imagined than described. The conse quence was that Bolam became unsettled, and seized the first opportunity which occurred of removing from a neigh bourhood, where he could no longer dwell with comfort or satisfaction to himself. He then came to Newcastle, and soon afterwards fcrmed an engagement with the late Mr. Bruce, with whom he resided several years, discharging the duties of an assistant with credit to himself and satisfaction to his employer. About this period of his life he seems to have entertained some thoughts of going to sea; but it would appear that he soon abondoned his intention, on finding him self settled in comfortable quarters, with a prospect of main taining himself in respectability in that avocation to which he had been accustomed. , Many interesting anecdotes connected with this period of his life have been supplied to us, but our limits will not allow us to make use of the ample materials we possess. It would not, however, be proper to pass them over entirely unnoticed, and we shall therefore resume the snbject in our next pub lication. Dr. Chowne mentions, in the current number of the Lan cet, the very singular case of a Swiss, who had undergone the process of hanging 13 times, and yet survived all. When death at last seized his prey, his body was examined to as- certain the cause of this strange tenacity of life, and it was found that the windpipe was turned to bone, a sufficient cause certainly for his not being suffocated. THE THAMES TUNNEL.—The works are, proceeding so ra pidly that the shield has now approached within 15 feet of low water mark on the Middlesex side. The ground now in course of excavation is better than it has ever, been, and the construction of the tunnel is more, rapid than at any period for the last two years. In fact, so fast have the works pro gressed, that the tunnel has been extended at the rate of four feet per week. GAME. — Grouse Shooting commences on Monday morning under most favourable auspices. Game of all kinds is more plentiful than it has been for the last three or four years ; grouse more especially visible on the increase, and black-cocks even more so than most sportsmen wish. Hares have had an excellent breeding time, and such of them as were first observed in March, are at present as strong, and very nearly as well grown as their dames. The prospect for Partridge Shooting is also most encouraging,—Newcassl? journal, ANOTHER CHARTIST ARREST IN MANCHESTER. (From the Manchester Courier of Saturday.) Yesterday, a man named John Livesey, was brought up at the borough court, on the folloiring charge : Mr. Beswick said he had received information that, for some time past, the prisoner, who lived in a cellar No. 43, Hanover-street, had been in the habit of furnishing the chartists of this and the surrounding towns, with a quantity of arms. He had, yesterday, made application to the magi strates for a warrant to search the house ; and had gone thither, in company with Mr. Davies and some other officers. The prisoner was not in, but they obtained admittance, and found two fowling-pieces, two steel bows, a battle-axe, a bayonet, a sword, a ramrod, six bullet-moulds, a box of caps for guns, and a quantity of powder. His wife was in the house ; and they took her into custody, and brought her to the Borough Police office. In the course of half an hour after, the prisoner came to the office, and said he wanted to give information to Mr. Davies of a robbery that had been committed on his premises. He detained him in custody, aed asked him if he thought fit to give any account of these articles. The man said, " Yes ; he was an agent for a per son named George Thompson, a manufacturer of guns, at Birmingham." He stated that he was in the habit of selling these things that the two guns were for sale, also the bullet moulds, and that the other articles found in the house, many of which were hanging over the mantel-piece, were his own, and were for the purpose of protecting himself. On search ing him, he found two papers, which were receipts for articles that had been forwarded to him by the Grand Junc tion Railway ; and in answer to questions, he stated that he had received one case of arms on the 18th July, containing eleven guns and one fowling-piece ; that on the 20th July, he received another case, containing twelve guns ; all of which he had disposed of. He now applied to have him remanded until Monday, 'by which time he expected to be prepared with some evidence. . . Mr. Potter: Have you got any thing to say why you should not be remanded till Monday? Prisoner : I have not heard half of what has been said against Mme. Mr. Beswick repeated his statement. The prisoner denied that he bad said anything of the kind which was stated by Mr. Beswick. He had given him the two invoices as documents which established his agency for Mr. Thompson, of Birmingham. He thought it was a very strange way of proceeding that his house should be broken into without any intimation being given to him. He had circulated cards, and had had a public sign up for a length of time. He had never shunned the police ; the guns had always lain in his window bottom, and he had thrown the window open, and exposed them to public inspection, so that they might be seen by any one who passed. It was very strange that he should have had no notice at all, so that he might have suppressed the sale of them. Mr. Potter : You w ill h av e an opportunity of bringing forward any evidence you may have on Monday. Prisoner: Evidence of,what description? To show that I have established an agency with them ? ..Mr. Potter n That is for you to consider. Mr. Beswick further stated, that he was by trade a printer, and had worked with a person named Wheeler. He had only been in the habit of selling these things for the last month. The prisoner said he had only been in the habit of selling paper for the last eighteen months, and he was not afraid of the charge. Mr. P - otter : Well, you are remanded till Monday. The prisoner was then removed. A woman shortly after presented herself in the witness-box, and asked if the bench would accept bail for his appearance on Monday. After a consultation, Mr. Potter said they should call on the prisoner to find two sureties in £75 each, and enter into his own recognizance of £l5O. This announcement pro duced a hiss from the spectators' gallery. Mr. Potter (much excited) : Who is that? Mr. Beswick : See who that is, you inspectors there. Mr. Potter : Can any respectable working man think that an operative has a right to have these implements in his house? You will find yourself wrong. The prisoner was then removed in custody, Mr. Potter stating that 24 hours' notice of bail would be required. Of the implements found in the prisoner's possession the battle-axe is of a somewhat peculiar appearance. It is about four feet long, the point being very sharp, as well as the blade. The upper part of the handle, which is of wood, is covered with crimson velvet, fastened on with brass-headed nails, and the part where the hand rests is nearly covered with these nails. It is altogether a very formidable weapon. (From our Correspondent.) RE-EXAMINATION OF LIVESEY, AND ANOTHER CHARTIST. On Saturday, Livesey was brought up at the New Bailey, for re-examination, and upon being asked whether he wished to put any questions, replied in the negative, and was com mitted to take his trial. A man named Benbow, a most desperate character, was then placed in the dock. It was proved by the superin tendent of police at Stockport, that the prisoner had made use of most violent language, at a meeting which was held there on the 9th of June last, that he had denonnced the aristocracy as jugglers and pickpokets, had advised every one at the meeting " to get a sharp pike, six inches long, and carry it about with them, for protection against their op pressers, or any other polecat of a policeman ' that might attempt to interfere with them." It a pp eare d also, that he told the people, that " if they wanted food, they must go to Major Marsley's, (who is a man of considerable property, and has one of the largest establishments in Stockport,) or some other rich man, and ask him for a load of corn, and if refused, send 500, 1000, , 10,000 men ; and if still refused, 50,000 men must be sent. The sheep and oxen they must drive to the slaughter house." The prisoner, in cross-ex amining the witnesses, stated, that he could not use a word strong enough to denounce the aristocracy ; whom he described as " vile, and rapacions villains." He was then committed to take his trial. CHARTIST MEETINGS. The authorities having determined to suppress these illegal assemblages held out of doors, a meeting was called by the Rev. Mr. Jackion, at' Carpenter's-hall, on Saturday evening last. The decided steps adopted by the magistrates, have ' struck dismay and terror in the ranks of the revolutionary chartists, and we can state as a matter of fact, that there never was so poor and meagre an atte n d ance a t any ra di ca l meeting in Manchester, as there was last Saturday night. It *as, indeed, as complete a failure as ever was witnessed. The proceedings were announced to take place at half-past seven, but they did not commence until nine ! At the close, tie copper-hox went round, and a collection was made for the " patriots," and after some time it was stated, that they had not been able to collect enough to pay the expenses of the room ! "The meeting separated quietly about eleven o'clock. Qn. Sunday the rev. gentleman preached three farewell political sermons. He was succeeded in his second discourse by the Owenites, who promulgate their infidel opinions in. Carpenter's-hall. APPIZEIIENI9N OF TWO OTHER CHARTISTS AT STOCKPORT. r Abluidnight op Monday last, the Rev. W. E ss l er an d I saac Johnson where apprehended for sedition and attending illegal 'Und were examined on Tuesday evening, before Jonathan Thornhill, P. E. Marsland, and Appelles Howard, ts4s. Mr. Bbothroyd appearing for the prisoners. - - , Thre'evidence was of a similar character to that used against ) F:e4h„who ,was committed the d a y b e f ore. IVIr. Saddler, the superintendent of police, sergeant Hough, ifPeilkinien Longson; Cadrnan, Potter, Walker, and Ham -p9ud, and Zachariah Booth, were examined chiefly as to the politicpl papers found in th e possess i on of the pr i soners, and tfie' ranguage used by them at different meetings, both of them having contended for the right of arming. Booth stated that Essler had exhibited a dagger at a meet ing in Hasel Grove, the day before the Kersal Moor demon stration, saying that he would take it with hini, and he advised his hearers to follow him. This witness being severely cross biainined, admitted that he was a common informer, but had only mentioned this circumstance of the dagger to his father. 'ln answer to a cross-examination, it was admitted that .Essler had said that as a minister of the gospel he had as much right to defend the rights of the poor, as other ministers had to defend the rights of the rich. He only advjsed them to get arms to defend their lives and properties. The prisoners declined to say anything, and Mr. Boothroyd did not think it necessary to address the bench. The magistrates having retired a short time, returned to court, when Mr. Jonathan Thornhill said that the bench had considered it to be their duty to put the prisoners upon their trial; Essler—for conspiracy, attending unlawful meetings, sedi tion, and possession of an offensive weapon. Johnson—for conspiracy, sedition, and attending unlawful meetings. _ _ _ Mr. E ssler applied that several letters of a private nature which had been seized and gracelessly exposed, should be re turned to him.—Granted. No bail was offered for the prisoners ; and they were com mitted to Chester Assizes for trial. ANOTHER CHARTIST' SECURED. On Wednesday afternoon, about five o'clock, John Thom son, of Birmingham, who had supplied 'Mitchell and others with fiie-arms, was brought in a hackney-coach to the court room in the charge of Mr. Sadler, superintendent of police, having been apprehended in Birmingham that morning. This afternoon (Thursday,) Thompson, Erasmus Armitage, (the boy) Thomas Haworth, were fully committed to Ches ter assizes for trial ; and Nicholls, from Newtown has been agaiu- remanded to Saturday.—Slockport Advertiser. TRADE WITH CHINA. PUBLIC NOTICE TO BRITISH SUBJECTS. I, Charles Elliott, chief superintendent of the trade of British subjects in China, presently forcibly detained by the provincial government, together with all the merchants of my own and other foreign nations settled here, without sup plies of food, deprived of our society, and cut off from all in tercourse with our respective countries (notwithstanding my official demand to be set at liberty, so that I might act with out restraint), have how received the commands of the high commissioner issued directly to me under the seals of th e hon. officers to deliver over unto his hands all the opium held by the people of my country. Now I, the said chief superintendent, thus constrained by paramount motives affecting the safety of the lives and liber ties of all the foreigners here present in. Canton, and by other very weighty causes, do hereby, in the name and on behalf of her Britannic Majesty's government, enjoin and require that all her Britannic Majesty's subjects now present in Canton do forthwith make a surrender to me, for the service of her Majesty's government, to be delivered over to the govern ment of China, of all the opium under their respective con trol, and to hold the British ships and vessels engaged in a trade of opium subject to my immediate direction, and to forward to me without delay a sealed list of all the British owned opium in their respective possessions ; and I, the said chief superintendent, do now, in the most full and unreserved manner, hold myself responsible for, and on the behalf of, her Britannic Majesty's government, to all and such of her Majesty's subjects surrendering the said British bond opium into my hands, to be delivered over to the Chinese govern ment. And I, the said chief superintendent, do now, further especially caution all her Majesty's subjects here present in Canton, owners of or charged with the management of opium, the property of British subjects, that failing the surrender of the said opium into my hands at or before six o'clock this day, I, the said chief superintendent, hereby declare her Ma jesty's government wholly free of all manner of responsibility or liability in respect of the said British-owned opium ; and it is especially to be understood that the proof of British property and value of all British opium surrendered to me agreeably to this notice shall be determined upon principles, and in a manner hereafter to be defined by her Majesty's government.

Mr. Chadborn; the solicitor, one of the executors named in the testamentary papers of the late James Wood, the wealthy and eccentric banker of this city, against the validity of which judgment was given by Sir Herbert Jenner, a short time back, has committed suicide. The unfortunate man was found hanging in his coach-house, quite dead. The clerks of the deceased stated, that he had been in a very low and desponding way for some months ? and the jury ulti mately found a verdict of temporary insanity. The connec tion of Mr. Chadborn with the extraordinary case of Mr. Wood's will, has naturally given a degree of interest to this event, and created sensation, whicli has seldom been Wit nessed,- BRANDY AND SALT. We copy the following letter on the efficacy of " Brandy and Salt" as a family remedy for all diseases, from a late number of the Leeds Intelliyencer ; the editor of which paper observes, that " Mr. Lee writes enthusiastically, but it is because his experience warrants him in assuming a confident tone." ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE IN GENERAL, BUT PARTICULARLY TO THOSE PROFESSIONAL 1 GENTLEMEN WHO HAVE THE CARE OF HOSPITALS, THE GOVERNORS OF COLONIES, AND RELIGIOUS MISSIONA RIES. Perhaps an humble individual like the one who writes this address will be thought presumptuous in laying it before the inhabitants of this great empire, but as he has no interest of his own to serve, and he has some years ago made a discovery which, though very simple, is very useful for the health of man, and, therefore, the most conducive to his happiness : among the discoveries in medicine, he believes it to be the greatest, perhaps it can truly be said to be the greatest that ever was made, of any description, and there are a great many by which money may be got, yet they are nothing without health, as that gives the true enjoyment of life. With a moderate use of this cheap and almost universal re medy, sickness, sores, and lameness of various descriptions are cured, as I have proved in innumerable instances, not only upon myself but upon my friends, neighbours, servants, and workmen, of which, if I were to give the detail, no periodical publication could insert it. It not only cures or dinary complaints, but it cures such as have long been con sidered incurable, without the use of the knife ; it is of the greatest efficacy in the cure of cancers, of which it has already cured several ; and the best of it is, that the cures are effected without pain ; of course, a great many persons, in consequence of its universality, will be slow to use it ; but I can assure all such that they have no occasion to have the least fear of any bad effects from it, as I can truly say that I believe it never did the least harm, and I do not write without expe rience. I can only account for its curing complaints which appear of an opposite character, by the supposition that all complaints, of whatever description, have their commence ment and are continued by inflammation, against which it is the most pewerful an tid ote wh i ch, I believe, is at present known. In:the reduction of inflammation of fractured limbs, I believe this remedy would be of great advantage, and for incurable sores, in our hospitals, where there are great num bers of miserable beings who drag on existence through sleepless nights from one day to another, this remedy would be of great relief t o th em ; t h ough it might not cure the sore, it would so far relieve it (I write from facts not opinions) as to enable them to sleep at nights, and after a fortnight's ap plication, enable them to l eave the hospital and resume their work. I have not the least doubt but of those who have long been confined.and under treatment for sores of this de scription, one half of the beds would be at liberty in a month : though this would be the result, I am afraid that medical gentlemen will be slow to adopt this remedy, as it is not ushered into the world in the name of some eminent man of great science ; but they ought to recollect that many useful discoveries have been made by men of comparatively little learning, and science has contributed nothing to this dis covery ; it has all been done by the situation in which I was placed, which has also enabled me to get to know many of its good properties, as it is generally used by my numerous servants and workpeople. If this address falls into the hands of any person who wishes to do good to his fellow men, and he from situation can spread the knowledge of it in those countries where inflammatory complaints are prevalent, such as the plague in Turkey, the black and yellow fever in the West Indies, Sierra Leone, and other parts of Africa, the cholera in the East Indies, with all the bites and stings from noxious animals and reptiles, he will confer benefits which will be lasting on the countries in which they may be propagated, for it has only to be known and applied, and there is no danger of its ever being forgot ten ; and J beg of all such that they would have the goodness to cause the diffusion of the knowledge of it to be as free as this communication of its discovery. DIFFICULTY TO INDUCE PERSONS TO USE THIS REMEDY. —Though I can attest from actual knowledge of facts which are stated in this paper, that it has cured all these complaints of which I have given the cases, yet there are a many per sons who think it impossible, an d facts are nothing against such persons' opinion. In a neighbouring town there were three families the children of which were afflicted with ring worms upon their heads, to whom it was recommended •, two of the ladies used it, by washing the crowns of the heads of their children, and they were soon cured; indeed, the effects would be felt upon the first application ; the other lady. would not use it, and the children suffered for a long time after. A lady of my acquaintance was attacked with a complaint, which at the commencement would have been easily cured, but when the use of it was urged upon her, said she would not be cured by this remedy, and as she is now dead she has not been cured with any other. THOSE TO WHOM IT DOES NO Goon.—There is a large class in society to whom it does no good—they are those who will not use it ; but I have no doubt that they are daily di minishing in number, for after any one has applied it to any complaint, the benefits are so manifest, that it would be to suppose them not endowed with common sense not to apply it again in case of need ; it only requires very little reflection to know how to apply it to any complaint, whether external or internal, and there is not the least fear of any bad effects from it. An experience of several years has convinced me that it has never yet done any harm, but its efficacy is much more certain when it is used clear. INFLAMMATION.—I saw it stated in a newspaper that a professional gentleman had published a treatise to prove that complaints of all kinds are caused by inflammation ; this coincides with my opinions and observations, and this being the case, it is not surprising that this remedy has cured al most every complaint to which it has been properly applied, or has greatly relieved them ; but the universality of its effi cacy has been thought by some a great objection to it. A lady to whom it was recommended said, •` I have no faith in it, for you say that it cures so many complaints ; if you said it only cured one, I could use it for that ; but'as you say there are so many, I will not use it for any ;" this may be wisdom, but as I have known it cure the head, ear, and tooth-ache, inflammation in the eyes, ague, cholic, pains in the side, chilblains, burns and scalds, cancers, and several others, and some of theme scores of times, I should be wanting in my duty if I did not recommend it for them. CANCERS.—It has been applied in six cases of cancer, five of which it has cured, and that without pain ; even the first application did not give pain but relief ; th ree o f t h ese were very severe, and had been of long continuance ; the other two were at the commencement, and to the sixth it was applied but once, which brought on a great bleeding, which, I believe, was necessary, as he was much better after it but it alarmed his friends, they called in his medical advisers (he being a wealthy man, he had the best the place could afford), they were very much offended by its application, and said they would not come again if he continued to use it, he therefore promised he would not use it again, and I believe he kept his promise, as he died in less than twelve months after ; and, judging from the others, I have no doubt but he would have been cured if he had not been prevented from applying it. The other five are all poor, and are cured and living at present, or were a short time ago ; the rich was not cured, and is dead ; I wish this last had been otherwise, as he is said to have been a worthy man. SPRAINS.—Many persons suffer from sprains for months, who might be cured by fomenting the part with this remedy, in a few days, and some of them in a few hours. I have known several who have suffered for weeks, though under very able doctors, cured i n a ver y s h ort t i me w i th i t. OPEN SORES.—Soon after my return from England to La Ferte Imbault, in France, in July last, I was informed that one of my cottagers had not been working for two months, from illness. When I saw him, he said he had got bled the beginning of May, and that his arm had inflamed. On ap plication to the doctor, he was told he must poultice his arm ; he did so, but at the end of the first month it had become a frightful sore. Upon application to his doctor, he said he must continue to poultice it ; he did so, but his arm continued to get worse, and in consequence of want of sleep, he was reduced almost to a skeleton. I told him to send to the castle for some of the remedy, and throw his poultices into the fire, if he did not wish to lose his arm. He applied the remedy that afternoon, and I saw him two days after; he was totally changed in appearance ; he said he had slept well both nights ; and he was enabled to resume his work ten days after. Another man, soon after, had the misfortune to have one of his hands severely bruised by a cart, and part of one of his fingers taken off. Such remedies were applied as were in general use in the country, and I did not see him for some time after his accident. When I first saw him I thought mortification had begun. The first application caused great pain, which continued for about half an hour, but further applications were not so painful, the hand got better each day, and he is now cured of that which would have cost him his life. The bone, to the joint of the finger, came away, and it is cured also. One of my gamekeepers had the misfortune to have his face much burnt by the blowing up of a quantity of gun powder : he could only see with one eye, and that very little. The remedy was applied in the first half hour after the acci dent, and though it gave pain in the commencement, he had the courage to continue it; the result was, that after five or six applications, it gave him no pain, and he was cured in fifteen or twenty days, and his sight, which had been weak for many years, is now better than ever it was. ADDRESS TO THOSE GENTLEMEN WHO HAVE THE CARE OF HOSPITALS. From the foregoing cases, which have all occurred since my visit to Leeds last year, I think that it is the duty of all gentlemen who have the care of hospitals, &c., to make use of this remedy, and I have no doubt if they condescend to use it, a great many will be cured, and the beds set at liberty, and instead of the patients being a dead weight upon the community, they will be able to get their livings and support their families, though they are now dragging on a life of misery ; and those who are afflicted with sores which cannot be cured, may be so far relieved as to be able to get their livings also in comparative comfort,, which may be exempli fied by the cases of, two men in the village near my house in France, who are afflicted with incurable sores upon their legs. Before they used this remedy their lives were truly lives of misery, but now they have very little pain and they are able to work, and, in case of necessity, they can walk two miles to their work. The leg of one of these men, is little more than the bone and sinews. The manner of apply ing it will easily occur to - those gentlemen who are accus tomed to such things. If one gentleman in each hospital would adopt it, I have no doubt but in a short time it would become the practice of all; the effects would then be so de cisive and cheering,—it soon removes all sitfasts and other impurities from the sores. The experience of last year has furnished a case which ap pears most surprising of all, it is that of a young man, the only son of his mother, and she is a widow. He appeared in the beginning of last July to be lying upon his death bed; his complaint a consumption ; he was only able to be removed to have his bed made ; the application of the remedy appeared to be too late ; however, it was made, and the manner and results are as follow :—First the crown of his head was well washed with the remedy, after which, and immediately, he took two table spoonfuls diluted with hot water, and a piece of soft linen was steeped in the remedy, and when doubled into several thicknesses, was laid upon his breast, in order, if possible, to allay the dreadful cough which was very distress ing, and came on in paroxysms, the phlegm hard and yellow. He was requested to take two table spoonfuls every morning before he broke his fast, diluted with hot water, which he did. I inquired every day if there was any alteration, but for six or eight days the answer was no, and I gave him up when he stated that there was no alteration. He said that he coughed always, and the phlegm had become white and frothy which continued the same for some weeks; but in about six days after the first change, he said tht he had got such an appetite he could eat anything ; he began then to gain strength and sat up, and went to visit bis neighbours. Soon after, a great pain began in his left side, with much inflamatiori, but upon application of the linen steeped in the remedy, the pain was removed, and in a week it burst, when his cough ceased en tirely, and though the discharge was great, he continued to gain a little strength,—his appetite good, and he continued to take the remedy as before. A clever medical roan, who hap pened to he in the village about this time, said he would get better, which was the general opinion in the village, if he could pass the winter, which he did, and he was living when I left La Ferte Imbault; but I am afraid that the abscess in his side will be too much for him, as it was then open, and the discharge was considerable before this was formed. I con sidered him cured, and I ceased to call upon him, but I have not the smallest doubt if he had began to use the remedy in the early stage of his complaint that he would have been cured. Now I put it to the medical gentlemen who attend upon such cases, and the friends of such as are in consumptions, if it would not be well to follow the same treatment ? ADDRESS TO GOVERNORS OF COLONIES WHERE INFLAM MATORY AND INFECTIOUS DISORDERS ARE PREVALENT. As I have a great desire that a knowledge of this remedy, and its effects should penetrate into those regions where in flammatory complaints are prevalent, I have made and for warded this address, in order that the benefits arising from it may be known and to those who are residing in or border- 1 , of t he°l ing upon the Turkish e m pi re or Egypt, Ibe r f have propagated, free of ex p ense , i n those coin 10 0t . , 1 have not the least doubt that it would cure th e !,, it=‘'A most other inflammatory co m pl a i n ts, if appliT stages.
