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 Nerbary, High gate, ter 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 mere luxuriant than t ever was before tilt llaldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley ineepts,this testimony to the virtues of Mr. (l.'s Regenstor, feeling ass t arell that many ladies %fetid gladly purchase an 1 ls. bottle if they we ~ as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the atlon and production of hair IR abund ance, but as a core sf ne .eadache ; as a toilet perfinne it is far beyond any to her taste. S ill feel a pleasitre in answering any lady of respectability to the a.. e facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becomin thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and lrevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will giro the hair brilliancy, causing it is curl. The most delicate ladies may ass this delightful product et the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most nece.sary companion Po the toilet. In cases of nevons headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head; if very had, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infanta' heads, It has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting tke growth of hair.-3eo pamphlet of testimonials. All letters addressed to William Grimitone Ilerbary. Highgate. REMARKABLE CASE of RESTORATION. A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the slefects of nature has lately occurred in the ease of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentleman residing at Northam, In Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from Harlestone Market to Neybred, where he then re sided, sustained so severe a fall ftom his horse, as to bring on an Bl ow. of several months' duration, during which period Ms heir con tinued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bald as if his head had been shaved ;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute fbr his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAM OIL, and It is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was used the growth recommenced, and he has now to boast of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL preserves and reproduces the Hair; prevents It from falling off or turning Grey; Changes Grey Hair to its Original Colour; frees it from Scurf and Dandrlff, and makes it beautifully soft and curly. '+!► Beware of "spurious compounds" under the title of "MA CASSAR OIL," some under the " implied" sanction of Royalty and he Government Departments, with similar attempts at deception. ROWLAND'S MACASS OIL is sold by the proprietors, at 20, HATTON-GARDEN LONDON, and all respectalge Chemists and Perfumers. THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER. The high estimate farmed by the public during the twelve years WILLIAM S. BURTON'S (late RIPPON and BURTON'S) chemically purified material has been before it (made into every useful and ornamental article usually made in silver. possessing, as it does, the characteristic purity and durability of silver), has called into existence the deleterious compoends of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Myer," and other so called enbstitutes ; they are at best but bad imitations of the genuine articles manufactured, and sold only by him. ddle Threaded g's Table Spoons and F or k s, f ull size per Patt Fi ern.

A new year's gift I'm ask'd to choose, A thing I never can refuse ; And as the choice is loft to me, I'll fix on what it is to be. They've offered me a rocking-horse, But that will never do, of course. I've something bettor in ray eye, Which Messrs. MOSES can supply. The Welded Sults, at MOSES' Mart, Will make me look so very smart, That I have only one desire, A suit of juvenile attire. 'Tie MOSES' Mart, where Master Tom Gets all his genteel dresses from ; And Dick, and Will, tern up their noses, At any but the dress of MOSES. In fact, my sehool-mates, ev'ry one, Boast about MOSRS and his ON The choice I make, then, in my heart Is this —a Suit from MOSES' Mart; And none can readily despise, A wish so good —a choioe so wise.

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) Last evening—." new year's eve,"—an entertainment, consisting of a dinner of plain but generous fare was given by the directors of this company to all the work men whose respective avocations would allow them to partake of it, and a bonus of a day's pay was given to those who were unable to attend,—a generous, hearty arrangement, and one which we venture to predict will not only go far to promote good feeling amongst all employed in the service of this company, whose progress we are happy to chronicle, but will be an inducement to its servants, to leave nothing undone which may promote its prosperity—which may place it in a rank with other lines possessing greater means, and, consequently, more appliances; and which will, therefore, increase; its traffic, and thereby the means by which they live. The dinner took place shortly after five o'clock in the workshops at Stratford, in a building 270 feet long and 70 broad, which was tastefully decorated with :evergreens, chandeliers, flags and banners, and emblems in gas. The most prominent of which were, "G. H.," (George Hudson, Esq.,) and "D. W.," (D. Waddington, Esq.,) the Deputy Chair man of the company. At the upper end of the building a raised platform had been erected, at which the majority of the guests occupied seats, for the enter • tainment was not without its visitors. It was arranged in the form of a canopy of crimson cloth and damask, in the centre of which was a throne or pavilion for the Chairman. A gallery at the end of the room was filled with ladies, and another in the middle of the room contained Adams' band, who played several airs during the evening, which were applauded to the echo—particu larly a railway overture. There were five tables, which stretched the whole length of the spacious building, each of which was assigned to the following departments —goods, coaching, locomotive, and permanent way. The arrangements reflected great credit upon those to whom they were intrusted, by the Committees of Management, Mr. C. T. Isborn, one of the assistant engineers, and Mr. Jay, superintendent of the coaching department. The chairman Waddington), the deputy-chairman of the compani, was supported on his right by Mr. Sheriff Kennaird, and on his left by Mr. Bidder, the engineer of the line. Amongst those pre sent we observed Mr. S. M. Peto, and Mr. Grissell, the well-known contractors, the Rev. C. Richolls, Colonel Jackson, Mr. Roney (the secretary of the company), Mr. Till (secretary of the Norfolk Company), Mr. Saunders (secretary of the Eastern rbion), Mr. Mar tin (superintendent of the Eastern Union), Dr. Butler, Mr. Heathcote, &c. &c. Grace was said by the Rev. Mr. Richolls. Due justice having been done to the dinner, which was provided by M essrs. Breech and Co., of the London Tavern, .Non nobis Domine was sung by the vocalists, Messrs. Sporle, Edney, Bruton, and others, who were under the direction of Mr. Genge. The CHAIRMAN gave the usual loyal toasts, and ex pressed a hope that the young family of the Queen might perpetuate the line of the illustrious Howe of Brunswick. He then gave, " The Bishop and Clergy of the diocese," which was responded to by the Rev. Mr. Richolls, and " The Army and Navy," on whose labours to obtain for us a peaceful home he passed a high eulo glum. DOUGLAS JERRO►,D'S WEEKLY NEWS. PAPER, Vol. 1., being completed with No. 24, a TITLE PAGE and INDEX will be glen with next SATURDAY'S Paper; EIGIIT PAGES being added gratuitously for this purpose. Sub scribers desirous to complete Sets are requested to make Immedlate application. - It is needless to add that these toasts were warmly responded to. The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose " The health of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of York, George Hudson, Esq., M.P., Chairman of the Eastern Counties, and long life to him,"—a toast which was re• ceived with the warmest and loudest demonstrations we ever heard or witnessed. He said, the toast which lam now about to submit to you is one which, I am sure, you will receive with an enthusiastic burst of acclamation— one of the loudest cheers which have ever been heard within the walls of any building in this country.—(Loud cheers.) I only regret, and I do regret it deeply, that the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of York, George Hud son, Esq., M.P,, the Chairman of the Eastern Counties, is not here this evening to occupy the position which I have this evening the honour to hold ; for I feel con vinced that you would have been delighted by the urba nity of his manner, and by the eloquence which charac terised his orations on all such occasions.—(Loud cheers.) I have to propose that Right Hon. Gentleman's health to you in the capacity of Chairman of the Eastern Coun ties Railway—(Cheers) —and to state that he feels most deeply that his engagements in the north would not per mit of his attendance here this evening. But he did not forget to think of you ; because he sent from his estates in Yorkshire a quantity of game and other good cheer, in , order to testify his interest in the entertainment. and his desire to contribute to the enjoyment of the inward man.—(Cheers.) I can tell you that your Chairman feels the deepest interest in your welfare. I know him well—l have long known him, and I know that a kinder heart does not beat in the breast of man.— (Loud cheering.) I know, for I have heard him state it, that he considers the great secret in conducting a railway successfully, is to get good men, and to use them well so) that you can keep them. (Prolonged cheering.) I call upon you to respond to that . sentiment—a sentiment entertained in oosnee3n— the directors of this company, because I am sure it will he found by practice that this is the only mode by which the business of a railway could be successfully carried out.—(Loud cheers.) When it was contem plated to open the Ely and Peterborough branch, it was hinted that, as Peterborough already had railway com munication in connexion with the North-Western, it would not be considered a great treat to the inhabitants of Peterborough to have a repetition of the ex citement consequent upon the opening of another line ; and therefore, the directors of the Eastern Counties thought that instead of holding a festive enter tainment at Peterborough, they should hold it within the walls of their own workshops, and give it to their own workmen.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) We hope to prove to those who are employed on this railway, that the directors entertain the sentiments of the chairman, and that having good men we shall try to keep them—that they should not lack encouragement, and that we could place our feet under the same table, and feel as much interest in their welfare as in that of our families.— (Loud cheers.) These being the views of the chairman, which are participated in by his colleagues, I am sure you will join with me in responding to the toast—nine times nine—until you make the welkin ring. —(The nu merou assembly rose and cheered. They were indeed loud and prolonged.) Mr. Bruton favoured the company with a song, very complimentary to the Chairman, and to locomotion in general. The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The Railway interest, and its great architect, George Stephenson." After al luding to the great adv antages which the invention of railways had conferred up on the people of this country, he went on to relate an anecdote of the subject of the toast. He said he had the pleasure of dining with Mr. Stephenson in Newcastle some time ago. lie referred to the construction of his first locomotive, now 40 years ago, when it was stigmatised as a whimsical scheme. He stated, in addition, that he never felt greater difficulty than when stating, in the witness box, that the engine would go at the rate of ten miles an hour ; but instead of ten miles an hour, fifty or sixty were easily accom plished. The toast was received with acclamation. Mr. BIDDER briefly returned thanks on behalf of Mr. Stephenson. He said if railways were carried out to their fullest extent that Union workhouses and prisons would become, tenantless on account of the lucrative employment which they would create for the industrial portion of the community. The CHAIRMAN next gave, " The Sheriffs of Middle sex and London." Mr. Sheriff KENNAIRD briefly returned thanks. He said such a gathering beat the Baron's hollow.-- (Laughter.) If they had not had the yule-log they had had the flowing can and merry faces, and merr' hearts to boot. li e concluded by proposing the health of Mr. Waddington. He said he was the oldest member of the board of direction of either the Eastern Counties or the Northern and Eastern, and had therefore seen many administrations ; but he had never met with any man who was more ready to n L o th e u cheers.)service o f Onethe com pany fact was worth a thousand speeches. Th a t morn i ng h e be sought him to reverse a decision on account of the family of the subject of his application. He said he had never yet refused any request which he (Mr. Sheriff Kennaird) had made to him, because he had never laid before him any cases save those worthy of relief. He wished they could have heard the expres sions which ho made use of on the occasion. He said truly, when he said that the way to keep good servants was to treat them fairly—to treat them justly and well. —(Loud cheers.) The directors had but ono desire—to treat all kindly, and that there would be an esprit de corps amongst them. Whatever the papers might say to the contrary, there was not a better managed railway in the kingdom than the Eastern Counties.—(Cheers.) The toast was enthusiastically received. The CHAIRMAN felt proudly, but deeply, the honour they had conferred upon him. He should be ashamed of himself if he did not acknowledge that he felt the deepest gratitude for the way they had responded to the toast ; and he would endeavour to prove by his future conduct that he was deserving of the encomiums lavished upon him, in doing all he could to promote the welfare of his brother man.—(lmmense cheering.) When he joined the Eastern Counties he had no idea of the labour which had since devolved upon him ; if he had been aware of the amount of labour which attached to the office, nothing should h ave i n d uced him to join the direction, but having entered upon the office, he held, nothing should induce him to forego any labour which might benefit the company and be beneficial to the public in general.—(Loud cheers.) He respected the opinions of his fellow men. He did not envy the man that did not ; because a man who did not live in the heart of his neighbour did not deserve the name of man ! When a man had once placed his shoulder at the wheel, it was incumbent upon him to urge it on to the utmost, and not to shrink back dismayed.— (Cheers.) And as long as he had the honour of occupy ing his pre , ent position, he should do his best to deserve the approbation of such an honest and enlightened as sembly as the one he saw before him.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN next gave "the Norfolk Railway Com pany, and the Eastern Union Company," with which he begged to couple the names of Mr. Till and Mr. Saun- Order of any Newsman.

MALTA NEW QUARANTINE ENACTMENTS. The Board of Health at Malta has adopted the reso lution of that of Marseilles, and reduced the quarantine of vessels of every description; and passengers front the Black Sea, and Ottoman ports, to seventy-two hours, when the duration of the voyage shall not have occupied less than twelve days, when loss than twelve, the qua rantine will be increased as many more days as are re quired to complete the twelve days. Whilst this measure will benefit very materially the French steamers running between Constantinople and Marseilles, made, as it ap pears, purposely for them, since they occupy just twelve days in the voyage, including stoppages at the interme diate ports, it will, by securing them all the passengers, 'materially affect the English, Peninsular, and Oriental Company's steamers between the Black Sea, Constanti nople, and Malta; for as these reach Malta in five days from Constantiaople, it follows that their passengers will have to perform seven days in the Malta Lazaretto, or four days more than a passenger leaving at the same time will be subject to in the Marseilles Lazaretto. We hope to see the Peninsular and Oriental Company esta• blish a branch line between Malta and Marseilles. The following is the official notice of the periods of quaran tine to be ordered at Malta under these new regulations. The Table of Periods of Quarantine is observance at the Lazaretto of Malta, as established by the Board of Health for Arrivals from the Levant, and from various ports in Barbary. A bill of health shall be considered as foul when the country from which a vessel arrives is actually infected with plague ; it shall be considered as suspected after the expiration of forty-one days from the last case of plague ; and clean after the expiration of one year and one day from the last case of plague. Bills of health of vessels arriving from Egypt and Syria are never to be considered clean. FOUL BILL OF HEALTH.—For merchant vessels and goods, 21 days after the unloading of susceptible articles ; for steam vessels, 19 days after the landing of passen gers and their effects in the Lazaretto ; for ships of war, 17 days after the landing of passengers and their effects in the Lazaretto ; for passengers arriving either in steam vessels, ships of war, or merchant vessels ad mitted in the Lazaretto 17 days after exposing their effects to ventilation ; for vessels carrying pilgrims, 25 days ; for pilgrims, 25 days after being landed, and their effects placed in depuration in the Lazaretto. SUSPECTED BILL OF HEALTIL—For merchant vessels and goods, 15 days after the unloading of susceptible articles ; for steam-vessels and ships of war, 12 days after the landing of passengers and effects in the Laza retto ; for passengers landing from steam vessels, ships of war, or merchant vessels, 12 days in the Lazaretto, after exposing their effects to ventilation ; for vessels carrying pilgrims, 20 days ; for pilgrims, 20 days after their effects being placed in dopuration. CLEAN BILL or HEALTH.--For merchant vessels and goods 12 days after the unloading of susceptible articles; for steam vessels, ships of war, and passengers admitted in the Lazaretto, 9 days after their effects being exposed to ventilation.

Department of Quarantine and Marine Police, Malta, December 7, 1846. E. BONAVIA, Approved, Superintendent. By order of his Excellency the Governor, WM. Sim, Acting Chief Secretary to Government. Mr. Holtzaffel had the honour of attending at Windsor Castle yesterday, and presenting to her most gracious Majesty an elaborate specimen of ornamental turning, or mechanical carving, in the form of a watch stand in ivory. He had also the honour of presenting to his Royal Highness Prince Albert the second volume of his work on turning and mechanical manipulation. MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR, IN ST. PANCRAS Within the last few days a rumour of a serious character has obtained extensive circulation in the parish of St. Pan cras, concerning the death of Rosetta Brown, aged 20, late in the service of Mr. Jenkins, surveyor, of Hunt ley-street, Tottenham-court -road, and which has given rise to a belief that instead of having committed suicide, as she was supposed to have done, she was murdered. The inquest on Rosetta Brown was held by Mr. Mills on the 23rd ult. The evidence went to show, that al though betrothed to one young man, she was in love with another man, when she eonsented a day or two pre vious to her death, to have the banns between herself and her betrothed put up in Paddington church. The other person was a lodger in the house where Rosetta Brown was in service, and about five o'clock in the after noon of the day in which she put up the banns of mar r:age she was discovered in Mr. Jenkins's coal cellar with her throat cut from ear to ear and a carving knife lying near to her. There was no medical man examined as to the nature of the wound, and some friends of the deceased charged the suspected party with being the cause of her death, and were about to give evidence in reference to her alleged seduction, but the deputy-coroner would not allow them to proceed, alleging, as his reason, if they al lowed private character to be assailed in that court, they might " sit there till doomsday." A long alterca tion subsequently ensued, and ultimately, a verdict was returned, to that effect, " That deceased destroyed her self, but what was her state of mind at the time there was not sufficient evidence to prove." The friends of the deceased, at the time, loudly expressed their dissatis faction, and subsequently had the body examined by a surgeon, who, it is stated, declares that the deceased's throat was cut in such a way that it was impossible s he could have done the act herself. Since the occurrence, the suspected party has disappeared, and it is alleged that he has become a lunatic, and is one hundred miles off in an asylum. The affair is about to undergo a rigid examination. GEORGE FREDERICK COOKE'S WATCII.--A DELI CATE COMPLIMENT.—It is known that the widow and step-daughter of the great tragedian Cooke, are living, respected citizens of St. Louis—the latter, married to a gentleman universally esteemed for his social qualities and business intelligence. The admiration of the elder Kean for the genius of Cooke, and his monumental tribute over his remains in St. Paul's church yard, New York, will bo also remembered; as well as that Charles Kean, even now, is having this monument re newed. The widow and other connexions of the de parted actor, on Mr. Kean's arrival at St. Louis, signi fied their desire that he should become the depository of their celebrated relative's watch; and, accordingly, the day before yesterday, it was presented to him. It is a plain, old-fashioned g.:ld time-piece, the cuter case bearing the initials G. F. C. The relic is one of high interest, and of all men upon the stage ho should guard it, who, inheriting so large a share of his father's genius, proves that he possesses, in no less degree, his generosity of heart—St. Louis Paper. Clean Bill of Health. S l7 Ny JANUARY 1, 1847. ders. These lines were the right and left arms of the Eastern Counties Company, and it was, therefore, their utmost desire to promote a good understanding between each other. The toast was received with acclamation. Mr. TILL returned thanks on behalf of the Norfolk Company, and thanked the officers of the Company for honouring him with an invitation to the entertainment. On behalf of the officers of the company which he repre sented, he could assure them that they would do all in their power to promote the interests of the Eastern Counties Company.—(Cheers.) Mr. SAUNDERS briefly responded to the toast. Mr. SMALL responded to the toast of the directors of the Eastern Counties, and Northern and Eastern boards. The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The health of Mr. Roney, and the officers of the company," including suc cess to the engineering, the locomotive, the coaching and goods departments. It was impossible to have a secre tary who could carry out the directions of the board better than Mr. Roney.—(Cheers.) Mr. Davis, the ac countant., Mr. Moseley, the goods superintendent, Mr. Scott, of the locomotive department, Mr. Hunter, the locomotive superintendent, " Mr. Samuels," the resident engineer, and other gentlemen in connexion with the company, deserved favourable mention, and he begged to propose their healths. Each toast was well received, and they respectively returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then gave " The men employed in the several departments of the company." He said the affairs of the company must be carried on 'by them, whether for weal or for woe; and that the company were most anxious to encourage those who attended steadily to their duties •, and, in appointing men, they looked not to patronage, but to the ability of the men they em ployed, and to the patronage of the public.— (Loud cheers.) The men and the company had been blamed, and not only blamed but blackguarded on account of the want of the necessary plant, but their means had been increased, and they intended to apply to Parliament for powers to enlarge their station at Shoreditch. Mr. RONEY briefly returned thanks. Ile said he had spent many proud and happy days, but he had never experienced more pl easure than he did on that occasion, because he never saw a prouder or happier sight than he did on that occasion, namely, to behold :such a large number enjoying themselves through the liberality of the directors of the company.—(Loud cheers.) It was gratifying to know they had as intelligent a body of men as any other railway in the kingdom; and with their united endeavours, and with the blessing of God, they would make the Eastern Counties line as successful as any other.—(Loud cheers.) For the personal manifestation of respect they had evinced he begged to tender them his most heartfelt thanks. He resumed his seat amidst loud cheers. Mr. PETO and Mr. DUNCAN addressed the assembly on behalf of the ladies in very gallant terms, and the company separated. The, tables were then cleared away, and dancing was commenced and kept up until an early hour this morning. Some - idea of the extent and nature of the festival may be inferred from the fact that upwards of 1,600 were present, and partook of the good cheer provided by the liberality of the company. • RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

FISHING AT THE CAPE.—By no means the least singular circumstance in connexion with Cape Town is the apparently inexhaustible supply of fish which its har bour furnishes. There are a great variety of species, all different from European; but though several of these are wholesome and fine flavoured, they are not worthy to be ranked with English sorts. The two most abundant kinds seem to be Cape salmon, a heavy fish, in also and in external aspect somewhat resembling ; a British namesake; and the snook, a most ferocious marine pike. Boats, after an excursion of a few hours, often return laden with these fish, which though rarely below fire or six pounds weight, generally sell for less than a penny a piece, and despite the great cheapness of butchers' meat, constitute the principal market to which this commodity is exported. The mar gin of the bay is strewn in all directions with the heads, tails, and refuse of fish. In lack of other amusements, a fishing excursion will be found no bad way of passing away the time here. Snook are the most ravenous, and rarely fail to give good sport. They may be caught either while the boat is in motion, by trailing a laden hcok astern, with some white streamers of rag on it, or when at anchor, by alternately casting the bait to a distance, and drawing it quickly back through the water. They will almost spring icto the boat in pursuit of the hook, and in the clear water are of a beautiful purple hue, a n d ma y be seen with the ir back fins erected rushing to destruction, like furies. Their teeth are very formidable and they know how to use them, which renders the awkward process of knocking them on the head with batons, before introducing them on board, an indispensable step. Much splashing attends this feat, which appears highly exhilirating to the fishermen if not the fish. Penguins, Cape hens, and albatrosses, with some kinds of seagull, surround the boat on those occa sions so closely, that it is barbarous to shoot them, and an unjustifiable breach of confidence. Gannets and cor morants also fly around in great numbers.—Methuen'a Wanderings in South Africa; IRELAND. RECLAMATION OF WASTE LANDS. DUBLIN, DEC. 30, 1846. The precedent for an appli cation of the Government loan to be applied to the re clamation of bog and waste land has been set by Lord De Freyne, who has applied for a sum of 24,1641., to be laid out in the improvement of 10,944 acres upon his extensive estates in the county of Roscommon. As his Lordship is a strict tenant for life, it is only by availing himself of the extraordinary powers proffered by the Treasury minute of the Ist of December that he could be enabled to make this spirited exec tion. THE LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION. The Evening Mail states that Mr. John Young, the Member for Cavan, "in his capacity ofex-Secretary of the Treasury, had addressed to the followers of Sir Robert Peel (be the same more or less) the ordinary circular, requesting their attendance on the first night of the session, as it is probable that business of import ance,' and so forth, in the usual terms of such docu ments." PROPOSAL FOR AN INCOME-TAX. A committee of landlords of .the county of Cork has been sitting in deliberation for the last week ; and, on Monday last, the following resolution was, after some discussion, unanimously agreed to. The opponents of the preposition here put forward will, no doubt, urge the absence of all machinery, such as exists in England, as a leading objection to the feasibility of an income-tax for Ireland ; nevertheless, among the countless projects which the present crisis has suggested, there have been some less rational than the remedy proposed by the Cork proprietors:— " That the experience we have had of the effects of the Labour-rate Act on all classes of the community induces us to express our conviction that it is totally in adequate to provide for the necessities of the labouring population of Ireland ; that, while giving a limited em ployment in one direction, it withdraws labour from another ; and that while the process of public works under it leads to the most useless ends and objects, it removes from the natural market of the country—the cultivation of its soil—that labour upon which our future supply of food depends. " That we approve of a compulsory taxation for the support of the labouring poor ; but we deny the justice of charging it exclusively on'the land, and we implore the county deputies, who shall meet in Dublin or London, to take into their calm and deliberate consideration the measures which may best conduce to combine the largest amount of relief with a necessary but moderate taxation. That this taxation shall apply as well to income—indus trial, professional, and arising from invested capital, as from land alone—that its distribution shall be released from all the expensive machinery new employed in its disbursement, and that a system of relief, under divi sional or district managemenpind control, be substituted for the wasteful practice ncerprevailing under the boards of work and boards of g rdians. In short, that the deputies so assembled ah - devise the legislative means whereby the largest pos le proportion of the taxes to be raised upon the ancy, property, and income of Ireland may be app to the useful employment of healthful labour, and e support of the aged and infirm destitute of the country. " That, if a principal- of taxation such as we herein have sketched be adopted, we seek no special application of its expenditure; but if it shall be continued as a charge ;on tap land of the country, we consider the special charaEter of the levy to entitle the landowners and occupiers to the benefit of its expenditure in labour; and we respectfully submit to the intended meeting that this principle be borne in mind, and contended for in the preparation of any legislative enactment for the relief of Ireland in the ensuing session of Parliament." The Corh Constitution thus comments upon the reso lutions:— " It seems to us so fair in all its parts ,that we kn not what objection ca n r easona bl y b e urge d aga i ns t We are aware that in man y quarters t h e taxing o come is disapproved of, b u t we h ave never b een abl to recognise the soundness of the plea on which the disap proval rests, and so we repeatedly stated during the discussions on Sir Robert Peel's proposition. The ar gument derived • from its fluctuating nature applies equally to any species of property whose returns are not definite and fixed. There is no more hardship in re quiring the fundholder or the physician, the shopkeeper or the lawyer, to contribute to the support of the poor of the community by which he lives, or to bear a pro portion of the expenses of extraordinary' measures for employing them either in non-productive labour, or in labour directed to the benefit of the general public, than in requiring the landlord or the farmer. If the income of the one is uncertain, so is the income of the other." Some idea of the state of the county of Cork may be learned from the fact that, in one barony (EAU Mus kerry), there are 8,900 persons returned as destitute by the relief committees, and of another (the barony of Bere) the Constitution thus reports : "For every one man employed there are five left rov ing in destitution about the country, and those who are on the lists of the overseers have, in many instances, to walk five miles to the road, and, if not there at the ap pointed hour, a quarter or half-day's wages is stopped. So that persons leaving their huts at four o'clock in the morning cannot regain them before seven or eight o'clock at night, then to lie down on damp ground, their only covering being the wet garments in which they shivered while they toiled all day. But those who suffered on the works were content and were grateful, while those who were not employed crowded round the houses of the few resident gentlemen in the neighbourhood, crying from hunger, and imploring to have their lives saved by getting a little food or employment to enable them to purchase it. Thus matters proceeded until Monday, when a large body of the Dursey Islanders and the labourers of the three parishes surrounding Castletown, walked into the town and declared their determi nation to move into Macroom and make a prisoner of Captain Gordon, whom they declared they would take back into the mountains, and there subject him to the same privations which they were enduring until he alleviated their dis tress. So determined did they appear in their purpose that the Rev. Thomas O'Grady, the rector, and Mr. O'Sullivan, two gentlemen of great influence in the county, could only prevail on them to postpone their march for a few days, by stating that they themselves would that night set off and endeavour to procure em ployment for them, as remonstrance by letter was disre garded. These gentlemen accordingly did so, but the result of their mission is not yet disclosed." DEATHS BY STARVATION IN MAYO, The Mayo Constitution publishes another fearful ca talogue of deaths by famine within the last ten days. Here is the supplementary " black list":— " On Monday, the 21st instant, Mr. Atkinson, coroner, held an inquest on the body of Pat M'Donnell, at Springhill. The deceased was found dead in a field. Some witnesses, and Dr. Neilson, were examined, and the following verdict was returned—' Died from starva tion.' "On the same day the same coroner held an in quest on the body of Owen Cane, who died at Glane dagh. Verdict—' Death from starvation.' " On the same day the same coroner held an inquest on the body of Bridget Joyce, a widow with four chil dren, who died in a small sheep-house, in a field at Glanedagh. It appeared in evidence that the deceased and her family were in the utmost state of destitution, and one of the children had nothing to wet the lips of its dying parent but a drop of water or a little snow. The body lay for eight days before a few boards could be procured to make a coffin, in such a state of destitution was the locality. Verdict—' Death from starvation.' " On the 22d, the same coroner held an inquest on the body of James M'Andrew, at Cloonman, whose death was very sudden. Verdict—'Died from the vititation of God.' " On the 23d, the same coroner held an inquest on the body of Edmond M'Hale, a boy, at Caracirable, in At tymass, one of a numerous family. The evidence of the mother as to their destitution was truly melancholy. The last words of the dying child to his famishing parent were, Mother, give me three grains of corn.' A woman, who was present at the melancholy scene, searched the pocket of his jacket, and found three grains of corn. Verdict—. Died from starvation.' " On the 24th, the same coroner held an inquest on the body of William Barrett, at Acres, Killala. Verdict —' Died from starvation.' " On the same day, the same coroner held an inquest on the body of Bridget Walsh, at Rathtrom. Verdict— Died from starvation.' " NOVEL MODE OF SMUGGLING SPIRITS INTO A WORRHOUSE.—On Tuesday, at the meeting of the di rectors and guardians of the poor at St. Pancras, a charge was preferred by Mr. Cooper, the workhouse sur geon, against a nurse of one of the sick wards, named Lloyd, that she was in the habit of getting intoxicated, and that on Wednesday last she was so much so, as to be incapable of performing her duties. Lloyd admitted the " soft impeachment," but expressed her entire ignorance of how she obtained the " three half quarterns" within the walls of the workhouse. Mr. Chadborn, the super intendent, was called, and, in answer to questions, said he knew the inmates of the workhouse got gin somehow , but how they got it was a perfect mystery, unless it was e b r r r o a u n g d h s t fo i r n thhey workh hose ouse p , those u p s a e u , paupers w as h o t h we e nt i e n r t a a n k d e r o s . 0 t I o n n h an e sw ha e d r a to further strnngbel questions, iefhen h f e r. u e n li d a e d r b t a o k r Chadborn rasd went n t te d ou t t ha to t fetch a body fur interment by the parish, that they managed to smuggle large quantities of spirits in the coffin. The porters were ordered by the Board for the future to search coffins on their arrival, and to send all females coming in to the matron for a similar purpose. CHEAP RE -PUBLICATION OF IMPORTANT WORKS. —Mr. Colburn has this day published Part I. of the cheap re-issue of " The Nelson Letters and Dispatches," to be completed in fourteen monthly parts, price only ss. each. The " Nelson Letters," (observes the Globe) will hereafter be the manual of the sailor, as the sister . service has found a guide in the Dispatches of the Duke of Wellington. The first part of the reissue of Burke's " History of the Landed Gentry," to be com pleted in ten monthly parts, price 53., is also now ready. This is a work in which every gentleman will find a domestic interest, as it contains the fullest account of nearly every known family in the United Kingdom.

AMERICAN AFFAIRS, NEW YORK, DEC. 15, 1846.—The Congress of the United States convened on the 7th instant. A quorum was present on that day. On the Bth the President transmitted a Message to both Houses. It is a more voluminous document than has been usu it on such occa sions. It is principally occupied, however, with a defence of the Mexican war. I shall not attempt a review of it, although a reference may be made to some of its • details. The business of the session was immediately com menced. Among other propositions, Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, offered a resolution calling upon the Presi dent for information, which, by a standing rule of the House, must lie one day on the table. On the 10th Mr. Davis offered a substitute for his own resolution, in the following words : "Resolved,—That the President of the United States be requested to communicate to this House copies of all orders or instructions to General Taylor, General Wool, General Kearney, Captain Sloat, or Captain Stockton, touching the establishment of civil govern ment in any portion of Mexico which have Or may be held by the army or navy of the United States ; also copies of all instruments, or forms of govern ment, 'proclamations, or other papers that may have been established, organized, uttered, and published by the said officers, or either of them; also that the Presi dent inform this House whether he has approved and re cognised any governments so established, and all the actings and doings of the officer • establishing it re lating thereto; that he further inform this House whether any such government has, in whole or in part, been established within the lheits of the state of Texas; that the President also inform the House whether he intends to prosecute the existing war with Mexico for the permanent conquest and acquisition of New Mexico, Chihuahua, New Leon, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosi, er any other of the Mexican states; and for what special objects he intends to prosecute said sitar; arid that the President communicate such parts of the information heron asked of him as he shall deem expedient to this House with closed doors." On this resolution an animated and somewhat exciting debate ensued, which was continued until the hour of adjournment, when the House adjourned until Monday, the 14th, without taking the question. It is probable this subject will not be finally di posed of until the close of the week; and when it is, the party drill will be called into operation. So powerful is the Administration party in the House, that all attempts to censure the Executive will be defeated; and if the President wishes to sup press .any part of the information called for, he will be sustained by the majority, and his wishes gratified. _ _,- - - By referring to-my letter of th e 27 t h ult., y s w ettevilk -- discover that my,anticipations. in- severel instanceere about to be realised; that is to .say, the special clause in, the Sub- Treasury Bill is not to be repealed or suspended: - -e.-:>".5..., Tea and coffee, accor di ng to the recommendation of the.: es en e see s i . . .... .e...

About ten . days sinca General Scott, with his suite, took his departure from this city for New Orleans, en route for Mexico. It is generally believed that he pro ceeds to Tampico, where he will concentrate a strong force, and, having made the necessary arrangements for attacking Vera Cruz, he will assault it by land and sea. The.friends of the AdministraCon speak with entire con fidence that it must fall before the Ist of May. The President, in his Message , referring teethe opts?. sition made to th e M ex i can war by the Whigs, and their assertions that it was unnecessary, &c., says—" A more effectual means could not have been devised, to encou rage the e2seepi e r and protract the war than to advocate and adhere to their cause, and thus give them ' aid and : efort.'"

I for. bear expressing any opiftion on this interesting point— we are changeable mortals. Great expectations are formed by Government finan- ' ciers as to the amount of specie that the balance of trade will cause to be shipped from Great Britain to this country. By some it is es ti ma t e d at m illi ons of pounds sterling. - Through this channel it is expected that the drain of specie required for carrying on the Mexican war will be furnished. These visionary anticipations may be realised ;,but I am an unbeliever. A religious meting of Germites was held at the ta bernacle, in this city, on the 13th.

Thes e seceders, one of whom was a Catholic priest, have been in the habit for some time past of holding meetings, for the purpose of studying the Bible. It is said they have had no Protestant among them. They profess to believe that a Catholic Church was establishee by Christ and his apostles, and that some had superadded to that Church sonic things not only unauthorised, but for bidden by the primitive institution. Their plan, it is understood, is reformation back to the true primitive Church, not Protestantism, nor union with any Protes tant sect. This, however, is but their first movement in public.
