BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D. 37, BEDFORD S QUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. 1 he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of dig aso known to modern pathologists. its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their phys.cal condition, and who are co nsc i ous of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It Is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequencesmaybelavolded, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of phystc3l infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

The plan of the Bank of Deposit differs entirely from that of ordi nary Bank, in the mode of emoloying capital—money deposited with this Company being principally lent upon well secured Life interests, Reversions in the Government Funds, or other property of ample value. This class of securities, although not immediately convertiole, it is well known yields the greatest amount of profit, combined with the most perfect safety. Further, Loans made by the Company are collaterally secured by a Policy of Assurance on the life of the Borrower, or his nominee, effected at a rate of pre mium which secures the validity of th 6 Policy against every pos sible con ingency. Thus depositors are effectually protected against the possibility of loss, whilst the large and constantly increasing revenue arising from the premiums on Assurances thus effected yields ample profit to the Company, and provides for all the expenses of, management.

LADY FRANKLIN'S FINAL SEARCH.— The Government having come to the con clusion that the fate of the crews of her Majesty's ships Erebus and Terror requires no further investigation on their part, Lady Franklin, in accordance with her sense of what is duo to the lost navigators, is now fitting out an expedition at her own cost. As a preliminary measure she sought assistance from the Admiralty, by asking for the loan of the Arctic ship Reso lute, which bad been restored in pe r f ec t or d er to our Queen by the American nation, and also for the gift (as granted in her former private expeditions) of such stores from her Ma jesty's dockyards as are available for this special service only. Compliance with these requests having been &dined, Lady Franklin is now devoting her whole fortune to this final search ; and a large screw yacht (the Fox) lying at-Aberdeen, has been purchased, which the distinguished ArCtic officer who has accepted the command of her (Captain McClintock, R.N.) has pronounced to be perfectly adapted to this em ployment. - Not repeating the arguments we formerly made use of to induce the Government to undertake a final and exhaus tive search, we hold to the opinion that it is the duty of Englishmen to examine that limited area whence the traces of our missing countrymen were derived, which, though it lies to the south of well-searched tracts, and bas been ap proached by vessels that have returned without loss, has never yet been explored. Supported by the advice of those experienced Arctic sea. men, in whom she has every reason to confide, Lady Franklin makes this last effort to clear away tho mystery that shrouds the fate of her husband and his crews, and possibly to rescue from their insulated icy abode among the Esquimaux some of his younger companions, who may still be.prolonging a dreary existence. On such an occasion we, whose names are hereunto sub scribed, feel confident that this our appeal will not remain unanswered by the British people, who will, we doubt not, tender to the widow of the illustrious navigator that sym pathy which his fame and her devotion must call forth, and will aid her in carrying out an enterprise involving, as we believe, the honour of the nation. We earnestly, therefore, entreat our countrymen to unite with us in contributing to this noble object. Roderick I. Murchison, Pres.

(Hear.) It was not that those parties did not btliove in the truth of mesmerism, but that they dared not stand up openly, and publicly, and say that they knew it to loft true, awl that they would support it against all opposition. (ETear, hear.) It was not every one who had the moral courage of their gallant chairman, and who would manfully stand up and boldly speak out what they thought upon the subject. (Hear.) It was not that they were without physical courage. They would [ Vitrax 4D. STAMPED 5D .] RING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL. go on a foil irn hope, they wou'd mount th - o deafly breach, without fear or wavering, they would fling away the scabbard ; but when they entered the sick chamber, and saw their own child, the darling of their heart, fast sinking under a severe malady, and given up by their medical attendant, they would fling away the scabbard but they would not fling away the blister and the deadly drug. They would mount the deadly breach, and fear lessly face the enemy, but they dared not face their apothecary. (gear.) Therefore, when men could not do that in their own families, they could not suppose that they would attend their anniversary meetings. Though, however, those believers in the truths of mes merism would not come publicly out ; and though several bad deserted them, there was still a goodly band of staunch friends of the canes who would stand t-gether, andthe had no doubt that their principles would spread in all directions. Amongst the poorer classes it was gaining ground fast, as they were beginning to feel the advantages of it, and once they were fully convinced of its truth and potency there - was no doubt of its triumph. Mr. JANSEN seuonded this motion, and stated that he bad come all the way from Exeter in order to be present at the meeting. In Exeter, under the guidance of Mr. Parker, the cause was triumphing wonderfully. An extraordinary case of acconchement, under the influence of mesmerism, had occurred there recently. The w orn was put into mesmeric sleep, in, which she remained for eight hour, by the expiring of which time the child was born, and when the woman was put out of the sleep she was not conscious of having felt the slightest pain ; but, on the contrary, was stronger and less fatigued than she would have been in the ordinary case. No w, chloroform was sometimes used in cases of this kind, but there never was an instance of a person remaining under the influence of chloroform for eight hours; and in this case it was necessary the sleep should continue for that period. Besides, chloroform was dangerous ; the mes meric sleep was not. Mr. WALLINGTON supported the motion, and -men- - AZ> tioned numerous cases of . diarrlicsi which he had cured by means of mesmerism—one of the , ,e having occurred that morning. He looked solely upon mesmerism as a curative agent, and if it was put forward in that view, there was no doubt but that it would soon bring over to On Saturday a public meeting was held in the gpeat hall of Lincoln's-inn, for the purpose of raising a sum of 40,0001. for the completion of King's Col lege Hospital. His Royal Highnesss the Duke of Cambridge presided. The hall was completely filled by a most respectable assemblage, theladies greatly predominating in number. There were on the plat form the Bishops of London, Oxford, and Se Asaph the Earl of Harrowby, Lord Vievershain, Sir W. P. Wood, Vice-Chancellor, Ald. Copeland, M.P., Sir T. Phillips, Mr. Justice Coleridge, the Pete Mr. Cunningham, &c. The programme of the proceed ings embraced the perf irmance of an anthem (Han del), the " Benedictus"(Mozart), and " La Carita" (Rossini), by the choir of Lincoln's-inn assisted by members of the Sacred Harmonic Society, under the direction of Mr. J. Pitman, organist to the Hon. Society. An appropriate prayer having been offered up by the Bishop of London, his Royal Highness opened the proceedings of the day by observing that on that occasion he appeared for the first time as the President of King's College Hospital. (Cheers.) He begged to tender to the supporters and friends of that venerable institution his grate• ful acknowledgments for the honour they had con ferred upon him. In doing so he could not but re flect with regret that the cause of that honour having been conferred upon him was the death of a nobleman—an intimate friend of his own—whose ltsis all must deeply lament. He was a man who during life promoted every useful and charitable institution of this country, and it now became his duty to endeavour to attain the same amount of usefulness in the world which his noble friend ac quired during his earthly career. (Cheers.) After briefly adverting to the absence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who had been summoned to attend at her Majesty's Court, his Royal Highness said he had just had the advantage of a personal inspection of the hospital, and he thought it worth the while of anybody who had leisure to witness what he had done. Notwithstanding the difficulties which had been encountered, the organisation seemed perfect, and reflected great credit on those who had the management of the institution. Such an inspection would convince everybody that it was of the great est importance that so excellent and useful an es tablishment should be extended to the farthest pos sible limits. At present the accommodation was was not more than half of that which was required. The annual increase of out-patients and in-patients was enormous. As a proof of the extensive utility of the institution, no less than 1,0001. a-year was expended in medicines alone. The locality of the hospital was certainly very confined, but it should be borne in mind that this vast city, spreading out in every direction, rendered it impossible to select open sites, while the thickly-inhabited localities all the more required hospitals for the sick. Yet it was a pity large intermediate spaces were left without such institutions. Such an arrangement was most in convenient, impolitic, and objectionable. The King's College Hospital had the advantage of being in intimate connexion with King's College. Those gentlemen who were at that college, studying for the medical profession, enjoyed the advantage and usefulness of the hospital by obtaining that instruc tion which was calculated to qualify them for their profession in after life. The theological students also derived great service from the institution, for there was no more important duty to bo discharged by a minister of the church than the attendance upon the sick and the poor. Another advantege enjoyed by this hospital was the nursing system there pursued—a system superior to any yet esta blished in giving aid and comfort to the sick. the general appearance of the interior arrangements was most satisfactory. The wards were conveniently constructed, and cleanliness, neatness, respectabi lity, and comfort were observable throughout. Even so apparently trifling a thing as that of flowers decorating the window sills aud placed about the rooms was not to be passed by unnoticed. They of themselves gave an air of cheerfulness and com fort to the chambers. of the sick, while by such minute attentions the sufferings of the patients could not fail to be alleviated in thus finding them selves healed as if they were comfortably at home in their_ own beds. There was one point of view in which hospitals wore not sufficiently appreciated. Their chief purpose unquestionably was to admi nister relief to the sick and heal the diseased; but beyond these benefits they incidentally conferred a great and lasting moral service on many who be came inmates of them. The habits, feelings, ten dencies, and everything affecting the character of the individual must be benefited by the moral training which the system pursued at such au in stitution necessarily imparted. Li supporting public hospitals, therefore, they were not only ad ministering aid and comfort to the sick, but were preparing for them a better and happier existence through life, and a much more hopeful -future in every sense of the word. (Cheers.) The sum required for so great an undertaking as the present was eertainly very considerable. He was happy to inform the meeting that although 40,0001. was the sum stated to be needed, yet a very large portion of that money had already been collected. It reflected great credit on the com mittee of the institution that they had exerted themselves so effectually in that important work. But the sum still to be collected was considerable. Seeing, however, the great object to bo attained, and observing the large interest that was taken in it, he had not the least doubt that the committee would be able to accomplish the work they had undertaken. (Cheers.) The Bishop of OXFORD moved the following re solution : "That the large amount of relief afforded at King's College Hospital to yearly increasing numbers of sick poor, freely admitted, not from the metropolis only, but from distant parts of the kingdom, is at once a proof of great public confidence and a ground for continued and extended support." He concurred with his Royal Highness that the closeness of the locality which formed the site of the hospital, instead of being a disadvantage, was a great advantage, lying as it did close beside two g reat-thorougitares of the metropolis, from which branched narrow streets filled with houses of want and misery. He equally appreciated the important advantage arising from the connexion of the hos pital with King's College, while he regarded with like satisfaction the improved system of nurses to which his Royal Highness had referred, and of which be was so competent to speak from a know ledge derived under other circumstances and in other climates—(cheers) —a knowledge acquired among scenes and in the midst of sufferings and deeds of terror, where the valour he displayed had endeared him personally to every Briton's heart. (Cheers.) The Earl of HARROWBY, in seconding the reso lution, said that in the presence of so many ladies he had peculiar pleasure in pointing their attention to that great object of female care,. piety, and en thusiasm, the attendance of the sick in our great public hospitals. The resolution was unanimously agreed to. Sir W. PAGE WOOD moved the next resolution:— " That by reason of the remarkable and progressive in crease of the population of the metropolis, and the inade quacy of hospital accommodation to supply the wants of the inhabitants, especially in those central districts of Lon don which lie between Holborn and the Thames, the early completion of the buildings of King's College Hospital is an object of paramount importance." In the course of his remarks the right hon. and learned judge expressed his belief that this country was almost entirely singular in regard to other em pires in trusting to the benevolent feelings of the people for the relief and recovery of the sick poor. In every large kingdom in Europe provision was made out of the public funds for the maintenance of those large hospitals which might be seen at Paris, Vienna, and elsewhere. But in this coun try there was a large amount of Christianfeel and principle to which the Government might with' i confidence leave the good work of providing insti it the support of the community. Dr. COLLIER also supported the motion. It was now nineteen years since he bad investigated into the truths of mesmerism, and he had now no doubt of them. The great object it was intended for was the cure of disease, esti as functional diseases affected the nervous system, he had found, as a physician, that it was to the nervous system mesmerism applied itself to the greatest extent. He had, over and over again, extracted teeth when the parties were in the mesmeric sleep, they being conscious of no pain ; and in New York he took a tumuli off the breast of a mulatto woman, the operation lasting thirty minutes, and she feeling no pain whatever. The resolution was then put from the chair,'and cor dially agreed to. On the motion of Mr. WING, seconded by Mr. Tnoefr- SON, Dr. Parland, Mr. Goff, Mr. Rawe, and the Rev. Jeffrey Ekins wire elected members of the council in room of those going out by rotation, the fist three gen tlemen being re-elected. , Mr. MAGENDIE next moved a vote of thanks to the council for the efficient manner in which they had done their duty during the past year. Mr. GEORGE CRUIRSHANK seconded the motion, and stated that, though he was but little acquainted with mesmerism, yet he had recently seen several cases of cure effected by it, which convinced him of its truth, and he had come there to acknowledge such. He could bear his testimony to the high character of Dr. Elliotson, who was at the head of this establishment, and whom he had known for half a century. He was present at the first operation be performed under this system. He bad not then time to investigate into the matter, though he had little doubt as to the truth of it ; but, if he had had doubts upon the subject, the case of the boy Row land, mentioned in the report, and with which he was familiar, would entirely have dispelled them. (Hear.) He bad no doubt that there was in mesmerism a great curative power ; and if it was a fact that a person could be thrown into this sleep and undereo the severest opera tion, and when awoke have the functions unimpaired, but on the contrary strengthened, it wag a matter which the faculty ought at once to take up. He knew a lady, the widow of an officer in the army, who underwent an operation under the influence of chloroform, but she never awoke from the sleep into which it threw her. Now, had she been put into the ruesmer c sleep and had the operation performed, he had no doubt she might have been now alive. (Hear, hear.) In fact, he had heard of so many operations performed under the sys tem, that he thought the more they were published to the world the better it would be for society. (Hear.) The motion was then agreed to. Dr. PURLAND tben said that they did not come before the meeting with the bare statement in a report of the cures they had effected, but they had brought the patients there themselves, in order that any one present might question them as to the truth of the statement ' made of their cases. The postman whom they had seen just leave the room, was about to have been dismissed is consequence of deafness, but having come to the in firmary he now heard as well as ever he did. The little girl whom they saw on the platform was brought up from Scotland, considered to be deaf and dumb, but after being in the infirmary a month she was made both to speak and hear. If, however, there was one man who did more to bring about these satisfactory results than any one else, and who in fact did more fur the in stitution than them all, that man was Dr. Elliotson, and he begged, therefore, to propose a vote of thanks to Dr. Elliotson, for his attention to the duties of the institu tion' and the services he had rendered to it. Dr. COLLIER seconded the resolution, which was agreed to with much applause. Dr. ELLIOTSON acknowledged the compliment. Whe he first saw mesmerism he was astonished, but nut convinced. , That was iu 1829, when he was physician to St. Thomas's Hospital. He had, however, little op portunity of looking into it until 1837, when Baron Dupotet visited London, whom he took to the North London Hospital, and after the oases of cure the Baron there effected, he could no longer gainsay or reject it. He was sorry to say there were many gentlemen who believed in mesmerism, but who would not come boldly out and say so. An instance of this occurred at a dinner party not long ago. The host, who was a literary gentle man, was well known to be a believer in mesmerism, but the subject having been talked over before the ladies left the table, he treated it with ridicule. Aft r the ladies left, one of the party said to him, " Why, I al ways thought you were a believer in mesmerism I" "So I am," was the reply, " but do you think I am such an ass as to have said so before the women l" (Laughter.) Now, that was the position of a great many, though it was very wrong, for what a man believed to be truth he should never hesitate to acknowledge in the most public manner possible. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CAPERN, for a considerable time secretary to the infirmary, then related numerous cases which he had met with in the street, and had taken the parties into a neighbouring coffee-shop and cured them. Several of those parties were present, and acknowledged the cures which had been effected on them. One man said he had lost the use of his limbs, and was obliged to walk on crutches, but Mr. Capern having met him accidentally took him into a coffee-shop, and in 16 minutes he was able to walk home without his crutches, and had never used them since, being now quite well. Another, a labouring man, said he had for two years been affected with rheumatic pains, which prevented him from sleeping at night, but after once or twice seeing Mr. Capern, he had slept for the last two nights well, and without any pain whatever. Mr. CHARLES BERRY, a fine Coldstream Guardsman, with the four-clasped medal on his breast, who was wounded at the battle of Inkerman, and bad his left arm taken from the socket, stated that after despatching three Russians he was himself wounded in the arm, when the Duke of Cambridge, who saw him wounded, ordered him to the rear. He walked three miles to the rear, ac companied by one of the drummers of his regiment, whose assistance, however, he did not require. He lay on the ground from 12 o'clock on Sunday, the day of the battle, until eight o'clock on Tuesday, and in conse q'ience of lying so long his right leg got shrunk up. On Tuesday Dr. Wyatt wrenched his arm from the socket, after which he was sent to Scutari, where he remained a considerable time. After coming to England, he was one day hobbling down the Strand, when he was accosted by Capern, who took him to a coffee-shop in the vici nity, And after a few passes over his shoulder from which the arm was taken, and which was still very painful, the pain totally subsided, and he could bear a person to strike him on it. After that Mr. Capern attended him on six different occasions at, his own house, on each of which he made several passes down his teg, the result of which was that it was now as straight as the other, and he could run a race with any one in the room. (Hear.) The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was cordially responded to. tutions of this noble Character. The resolution was seconded by the Bishop of ST.

The annual general meeting of the Mesmeric Infir mary, 36, Weymouth-street, Portlan d-place, was held on Saturday, at Willis's Rooms, King•street, St. James's. Major-General BAGNOLD presided, and in opening the proceedings said he regretted exceedingly that they had not some gentleman of more weight, and who could use his iefluence on society and the public at large, with greater effect than lie could pretend to do, to occupy the honourable position io which they had placed him. However, he trusted that in taking this duty on himself, an old soldier was not to be considered out of his place in advocating the cause of charity and benevolence. (Hoar, hear.) He begged, therefore, to call the atten tion of the meeting to this charity. It was one of a most useful character, and had been the means of re storing many to health, happiness, and the powers of labour, when all other means had failed, and such being its character, it was eminently entitled to the support of the community at large. (Hear, hear.) As regarded himself, he could only say that had he not been a most firm believer in the curative powers of mesmerism they would not have seen him there en that occasion. (Hear, hear.) He was one of those who, during a considerable period of a long and active life, ridiculed and scorned the idea of mesmerism. In fad, he looked upon it as a gross superstition, and when he heard of its doings in Europe, be ascribed them to theemaeations of a diseased brain. But on making ful• inqtiry into the subject, his views underwent a complete cLange, and he was now more firmly convinced of its truth than ever he pre viously was of its fallacy. (Seer, hear ) Mr. Jeuez INWARDS then read the report of the coun cil of management of the institution for the past year. it commenced by stating that the knowledge of mes merism and the admission of its truth had been steadily spreading in this country, since attention to it was power fully excited in 1837 at University College Hospital. It then proceeded to give a succinct sketch of the progress it had made in this country from the first intimation of it, 200 years ago, down to the present time, the opposition it had met with, the prejudice with which it had been assailed, but at the same time the triumphs it had achieved—triumphs which the greatest foe to mesmer ism could cot now gainsay. The report then went on to state that there had been in the infirmary since the last annual meeting 266 patients. At that date the number under treatment was 41. There had been cured or benefitted to a greater or less extent 63. The great majority of the rest attended far too short a time for any good to be done, and some attended a few times only, perhaps but once or twice. The report enumerated some of the cures effected, such as severe sprains, palsy of senses, and motion of the legs, deafness, rheumatism in its most obstinate form—that form of it mentioned by Sir Astley Cooper, which oc curred in connection with a local contagious diseaee— the wh le of the cases cured having been treated un. successfully in hospitals and by medical practitioners A detail of the cure of epilesy was also given, and which was of a somewhat extraordinary character. A young lad, 15 years of age named William Ibez Rowland, living at No. 1, Gould's-h. 1 ,, Shadwell, the son of a man belonging to the Land Transport corps, A division, had spent the last three years on board a collier as an apprentice. On the 11th January, 1856, his mother went on board the vessel, and told him that his father had died at Belaklava on the Ist of the previous Decem ber, from frost, in consequence of the tents being blown away. The young lad was immediately distracted, felt as if his heart was bursting, and passed a sleepless night. In the morning he was seized with an epileptic fit, and bad s . x or seven in the course of that day and the next. lie continued to have there for a month on board the vessel, and was then sent home by the captain, and while at home he had three or four daily, for three weeks. The mother applied to the Pa'aiotie Fund for assistance, and he and her other two children were both sent to the Orphan Home at Bernet, established for the orphans of soldiers who perished in the Crimea. He remained there a year. The fits did not cease, but took piece once, twice, or three times a day, and he be cause violent, to a degree insane, so that it was consi dered ho must be placed in a lunatic asylum. A little be fore Christmas he was in the Westminster Hospital, but aro wing worse and worse hewae brought exceed:ngly ill into the Mesmeric Infirmary on the 18th of April last by Mr. Ross, of the Orphan Home. He was astonished on see ing passes made before his face, as he thought he was to have medicine ; yet the first time that was done he went to sleep, and from that day was elways thrown into the sleep after passes before his face during a very few mi nutes. At the end of a week the fits were fewer and milder, and the boy was calmer and more manageable. When at the infirmary on Monday afternoon, the 19th of May, he told his mesmeriser that he had been attacked with a fit in the morning at ten o'clock, and that he had dreamt at the infirmary that he should have it at that time, and that he should have two more fits only, one on Thursday, at ten o'clock, and another on Saturday at the same hour. After his mesmeric sleep was over he was desired to attend on . the Thursday and Saturday at the hour indicated, when he bad the fits at the hour pre dicted, and be bad had none ever since. He is now in perfect health, and went back to school on the 29th of May. We may add here that the boy was present at the meeting, and appeared a smart-looking healthy little fellow. The report went on to give som© farther inte resting details respecting the institution, and the curos effected by means of it, and concluded by urging on its friends greater liberality in aid of its funds, as many cases had to be refused in consequence of the smallness of them. The Rev. Mr. SAITDBY moved the adoption of the re port. That report was no common document ; it was a philosophical and scientific paper, full of important scien tific principles, which, if fully known and carried out, would go far to benefit their fellow -creatures. (Hear.) It gave a most succinct and graphic sketch of the rise and progre , s of mesmerism in this country, until it led them to the turning point in its career here, namely, the establishment of the Mesmeric Infirmary (hear, heai)—the anniversary of which they were that day met to celebrate. The establishment lof that institution was a triumph of mesmerism which all the medical men in Europe and America could not get over. When it was first instituted, these gentlemen predicted, " Ob, it would not live a year ;"—(hear hear)—but here they were on the occasion of their eighth anniversary, while they bad got such cases of cure to produce and lay before the public, as would defy the greatest enemy of mesmerism to controvert or gainsay. (Hear.) The report alluded to many gratifying facts. It told them that mesmerism was flourishing, an d so ood „b t , edly it was. It also told them that the infirmary was in the most perfect state of order and efficiency ; and so it was, for the arrangements were such as reflected the greatest credit on the Council, and those who had the management of it, who d eserved the s i ncere thanks of all true friends of the cause. (Hear.) It told them likewise that there had been some most interesting cures effected during the past year, but it also added to those gratifying statements, one which partook of report, namely, that much more good could be done if the coun cil had more funds at their disposal. (Hear.) He re gretted that the council were obliged to send many parties away because they had not funds which would enable them to treat them and pay for the mesmerisers. He supposed that all charitable associations laboured more or less under the lukewarinatise of their professed friends, but in the use of mesmerism this lukewarmness. was most unjustifiable. Ho did not hesitate to say that many ought to be subscribers who were not, and there were many who had received the benefits of the institu tion who were able to subscribe to its funds, but of whom they never heard of after they were cured. He believed mesmerism to be a great test of human character. It showed what sort of stuff a man was made of. He did not mean in a physical sense, but it was em i nen tly qua lified to tell them what was his organisation, It might not be out of place on that occasion were he to ask why it was that many men holding distinguished positions in this country—men of rank, and character, and standing, who were the professed friends of reesneerisno,—why it was that they were not there on that occasion to coun tenance it ? (Hear.) Were they afraid ? There 16 as co uR r CIRCULAR. The Queen held a Court on Saturday afternoan for the reception of addresses on the Throne. The Archbishop of Canterbury, wearing his Cnnroca• tion robe, arrived at Buckingham Palace at a quarter before 3 o'clock, accompanied by bishops and clergy of the province of Canterbury. His Grace and the deputa tion were ushered to the Green Drawing-room, and sub sequen.ly were admitted to the presence of her Majesty on the Throne, his Royal Highness Prince Albert being by the side of the Queen, Iu attendance near the Sovereign were Sir G. Grey, Secretary of State for the Home Department ; the Duchess of Wellington, acting for the Duebess of Sutherland ; the Marchioness of Ely, Lady in Naiting ; Earl Spencer, K.G., Lord Steward ; Marquis of Bread albane, K.T., Lord Chamberlain ; the Duke of Welling. ton, Master of the Horse; Earl of Mulgrave, Treasurer; Lord grnest Bi uc-, Vice Chamberlain ; and Viscount Castlerosse, Controller of the Household. The Archbishop of Canterbury was accompanied by tt- `);-horie ofJondon, Winchester, Oxford, Hereford, Chichester, rimester ; the Dean of Bristol (Pre. locutor); the Deans of Westminster and Worcester ; the Archdeacons of London, Westminster, Middlesex, Buckingham, Bedford, and Bristol ; Rev. Dr. Jeremie, Rev. Dr. M'Caul, Rev. Mr. Randolph, Rev. Mr. Loyd, Rev. Mr. Oxenden, Rev. Mr. Seymour, Rev. Mr. Mills, Rev. Mr. Leighton, Rev. Mr. Harding, Rev. Mr. Hop per, Rev. Mr. Burton, Dr. Twiss (Vicar-General of the Province of Canterbury), F. H. Dyke, Esq. (Registrar of Convocation), G. Burchett, Esq. (Actuary of Convo cation), and F. Knyvett, Esq. (Archbishop's Secretary). His Grace read to the Queen the following address from the Archbishop, Bishops, and Clergy of the Pro vince of Canterbury in Convocation assembled : " Madam,—We, your Majesty's faithful subjects, the archbishop, bishops, and clergy of the province of Canter. bury, in Convocation assembled, approach your Majesty with the assurance of our loyal and affectionate attach ment to your Majesty's Throne and person. We feel it to be a ground of much thankfulness to Almighty God that in offering this our accustomed address we are able to join with it our humble congratulations on the blessings which it has pleased Him to continue to your Majesty and to your illustrious consort—blessings which are happily shared by the country at large, as well in regard to its internal tran quillity ancl welfare as to the restoration of peace among the European Powers. At the same time, we would desire to offer our respectful condolence updn the loss of that ex. cellent Princess whose decease marks the removal of a ge neration of your Majesty's illustrious house. Since the last occasion when we were permitted to address your Majesty several subjects of much interest to the National Church have been brought under our consideration. Among these we humbly conceive that none calls more urgently for our attention than the-best mode of extending the blessings of the Church to the increasing population, which hat far out grown the actual provision both of the number of clergy and of the funds available for their support. While we regret this spiritual destitution we thankfully acknowledge the measure of private liberality which has been directed towards the purpose of conveying the means of grace to our population at home, and to those colonial possessions of your Majesty which are so widely extending the laws, the language, the liberties, and, as we trust, the religion of our native land. It is a gratifying reflection that, through pri vete munificence, with little assistance from public sources, your Majesty's reign has been signalised by the erection of new sees in every quarter of the globe—from Africa to New Zealand, from Victoria to Rupert's Land. We have observed with satisfaction thatyour Majesty has been pleased to appoint a commission to consider the boundaries of some of the dioceses in England, and we earnestly pray that their inquiries and recommendations may be so directed as to promote the efficiency and well-being of our Church. In the promotion of public education—a question which intimately concerns us as ministers of religion —we thankfully acknowledge the liberal aid afforded us by public grants. The attention directed towards the instruc tion of the young is a marked feature of the present age, but we deeply deplore the difficulties which in too many cases induce the labouring classes to remove their children from school at a very early age, before they have received the full advantages of a sound education and been properly instructed in their duty towards God and man. "It is difficult to suggest the remedy, but if it should please your Majesty, in accordance with the spirit of that general summons in your Majesty's writ ' to treat of cer tain difficult and urgent affairs concerning your Majesty, the security and defence of the Church of England, and the peace and tranquillity and public good of your king dom and your subjects of the same,' to commit to our spe cialVeliberation this or any other question affecting the interest of our holy religionfor the usefulness of the church, we trust that we shall not be found unmindful of the so lemn character of the functions we are called to discharge and shall conduct our proceedings in a spirit of reverent dependence upon the Divine blessing, and with the dili gence which would become us in obeying your Majesty's commands. Hitherto the shortness of time given to our consultations has in a great measure frustrated the advan tages which we humbly trust would result if fuller oppor tunity were afforded for ascertaining the opinions of the clergy by discussion in Convocation. Meanwhile, we as sure your Majesty that any difficulties which may impede our endeavours to convey the gospel of our Lord and Savi our Jesus Christ as the ruling principle of life to every parish and to every individual in the land will rather servo to stimulate than restrain our exertions • and we have the encouragement of knowing that, while we attempt to carry into effect this important purpose, we are promoting the earnest wish and prayer of your Majesty, whom God has appointed to be our Supreme Governor on earth, and whom we trust that He may long preserve to see the in crease of temporal prosperity and the growth of true reli gion throughout your,litajesty's dominions-" Her Majesty returned the following most gracious ans wer:— " I receive with much gratification your renewed assur ance of loyal and affectionate attachment to my Throne and person, and I thank you for your expression of sympathy with Lay deep sorrow for the recent loss of my beloved aunt, the late Duchess of Glocester. " I heartily concur in your feelings of gratitude to Al mighty God for the many and great blessings which he has bestowed on my family and on this nation ; and I sincerely pray that your zealous endeavours to increase the efficiency of the Church, to extend its ministrations, and to render them - as conducive as possible to the advancem en t thr o ughout my dominions of peace and happine ss , truth and justice, religion and piety, will, by the Divine bless ing, tend to establish our national prosperity on the surest foundations, and to promote the permanent welfare and highest interests of all classes of my people." The Archbishop kissed hands. The Prolocutor, the Dean of Bristol, bad also the honour to kiss the hand of the Sovereign. His Grace, with the Bishops and clergy, then withdrew. An address of congratulation from the corporation of the city of London was then presented. The Lord Mayor had previously arrived at the Palace in his state coach, drawn by six horses. His lordship was accompanied by Aldermen Sir P. Laurie, Sir G. Carroll, Sir F. Moon, Bart., Sir R. Carden, Salomons, Rose, and Sir J. Duke, the Recorder ; R. Gurney, Esq. ; the Sheriffs, Messrs. Mechi and Keates ; the Chamber lain, Sir J. Key ; the Common Sergeant, T. Chambers, E s q. ; the Controller, F. Brand, Esq. ; the Remem brancer, E. Tyrrell, Esq. ; Messrs.

Bunning, Esq. ; Secretary Potter, the High Bailiff, W. Pritchard, Esq. • the Under Sheriffs, Messrs. Anderton and Crosley, the keeper of the Guildhall, Mr. J. Temple, and F. Woedthorpe, Esq. His Lordship was also accompanied by 91 commoners. The members of the Corporation bad assembled in the Bow-room, and were conducted thence up the grand I staircase to the Throne-room by Sir W. Martins; Gen. tleman-Usher in Waiting. The Lord Mayor and Corporation having been con. ducted to her Majesty, the Recorder read the Address from the Lord Mayo r . Aldermen, and Commons of the city of London, in C ommon Council assembled, Ott,g ra t u l a ting the Queen on the birth of a Princes s. Her Majesty return ed the following moat graciou s answer:— " Your loyal and dutiful Address has afforded me sin cere satisfaction; and I thank you for the deep interest which yon have expressed in the domestic happiness of m yself and beloved C onsort. Th e loyal and affectionate people affords m tattachmentiou ;nd o youf mynia y . rely upon e the hi g h es t gratifica tion my constant endeavours to promote their happiness and welfare." The Lord Mayor, Aid. Sir Peter Laurie, Mr. R. 0. Bncknall, mover, and Mr. H. L. T ay l or, secon d er o f the Address, had the honour to kiss hands. The corporation then withdrew. SAD CALAMITY AT SEA.—Brietters received from Shetlind we have the truly mournful tidings of another sad calamity among the islands there, resulting in a melancholy foes of human life. Early on the morning of NVednesday last, while the haaf boats were prosecuting the fishing, they were overtaken by a .sudden and severe galeof wind, by w hi c h three bei°"givg to the island of Uist, and one to North Mavine, were lost with all on board. Each boat was manned by six men, consequently no fewer than 24 have perished by this terrible calamity, the great er part of whom have left helpless and destitute families. This sad calamity, as might well be imagined, has naturally excited a most iute!lse excitement in Shet land, the wore p articularly ae in several instances as many as three or four of the men who perished are con nected with one family. In the absence of fuller particu lars, the distressing tidings having only reached Lerwick. a little before the sailing of the steamer, we cannot give a more lengthened account of the catastrophe ; but there cannot be a doubt that it will result in much suffering and want in many a home, and that there is a loud call on the humane to tome forward in behalf of the suffer ing and poverty-stricken mourners. Should any of our readers think proper to contribute towards this object, we shall cheerfully transmit any sum, ho wever small' to responsible persons, for the relief of the bereaved wives and little ones. From all we can gather, we should not be surprised if more than 60 children have been made • fatherless by this terrible calamity.—Northern Ensign. 5 00 1 0 0 UNIFORM WITH "NEVER TOO LATE TO MEND."
