Two trotters conversed as they happen'd to meet, And the reader shall hear what was said by the feet. " Pray what do you honestly think (said the one), Of the boots and the shoes made by MOSES and SON? For my own part a full satisfaction I feel, With my sole and my instep, my toes and my heel. The boots we have on are so stylish and neat, That, in truth, we're a couple of beautiful feet." " Well done ! (said the left with a stamp of the foot), Yon are ' right, Mr. Right,' with regard to your boot ; I've oftentimes thought I'd begrudge not a ransom For a boot or a shoe that would make me look handsome; And now I have got it, and so have you, too, Such a pair of neat feet very seldom we view. Another prime feature which ev'ry one views As belonging to MOSES and SON'S boots and shoes, Is the fact that they are faultless in fit and in style, While they answer their purpose a very long while. Ev'ry foot would do well to attend our advice By obtaining such goods at a very low price, For MOSES rnd SON, in their boots and their shoes Are determined that a 1 folks shall gain and not lose.

MEDICAL, INVALID, and GENERAL LIFE OFFICE, 25, PALL-MALL, LONDON, and 22, NASSAU STREET, DUBLIN. Subscribed Capital, 500,0001. At a numerous Meeting of the Proprietors held at the Company's offices, 25, Pall-mall, on the 26th instant, it was shown by the report of the Auditors and Directors-- That this Company was the first to Assure Diseased and Invalid Lives in a systematic manner, and on the same safe and defined principles as those on which ordinary offices assure Healthy Lives ; and that at the present time it is the only Company furnished with scientific and well-constructed tables showing the duration of life in the different classes and various stages of disease. That the Public have felt the urgent necessity for a Company established en such principles, was rendered manifest by the fact, that during the period of five years in which the Society had been in business, no less than 2,051 proposals had been made to it, cover ing assurances to upwards of one million of money The number of Polices issued far exceeds the average of that of most of the old and successful offices in a similar period ; and the business has been gradually progressive, the lumber of Policies issued during the last year being nearly triple that in the first year of the Society's exist ence ; showing that as the establishment of the Company has become more generally known, the public has more freely embraced the peculiar advantages which it offers, thus affording every reason to believe that the business of the Cempany will still go on rapidly in creasing. That the number of deaths that have taken place has been under the number estimated by the Tables of the Society by nearly ten per cent. ; a strong proof of the safety and correctness of the data and principles on which they are founded ; and that these facts conclusively show that business in Invalid Lives can be transacted with as much safety as that in Healthy Lives ; that the prejudice which once prevailed against this class of business is rapidly disap pearing ; and that there are few companies which arc not satisfied that this kind of Assurance may be done with security and profit, so much so that several have now become anxious for it. That it is also gratifying to be able to state that a very large proportion of old established offices have latterly co-operated with this Society by semling it a considerable amount of business. That the public have derived a great benefit from the establish ment of this Company, is shown by the fact, that 66 per cent. of the lives assured had been rejected by other offices; thus extending the highly valuable benefits of Life Assurance to a large section of the community not embraced by other companies. This result will be the better understood when it is stated, that in the mature period of life the deaths from one disease only, Consumption, in the principal towns of England, are more than one-third of the total deaths in the same period of life. And if an inquiry be instituted into the preva lence of other diseases also, such as Asthma, Dropsy, Diseases •f the Head, Heart, &c. &c. &c., it will be found that more than one-half of the whole population would, on medical examination, be refused ad mission into ordinary assurance offices. The diseases here alluded to are such as exist in general in a chronic form, frequently for many years prior to death, but which, on a strict medical examination, would effectually exclude the persons so affected from the benefits of Life Assurance ; and since it thus ap pears that a majority of the population is included in this class, the value and importance of the new feature of this Society cannot fall to be justly appreciated. That the published document by this Society shows— In the first place, That the peculiar features of this Society open a larger field for business than all other Offices can have unitedly ; and In the second place, That the risk of Assuring Diseased Lives must, from its own nature, be less, and its principles be found to rest on a mere satisfactory basis, than those which regulate ordinary assurances.

BRITISH. The excitement in the grain trade has rather increased than diminished since our last, and there are at present no symptoms of a pause in the upward movement. Every day furnishes fresh evidence of the extreme scarcity pre vailing in Ireland ; and by the accounts received from thence it is clear that the supplies hitherto sent from hence—large as they have been—are as a drop in the ocean. That the Irish will have to buy largely in Eng land up to the period of next harvest cannot be ques tioned ; and how we are to meet this unusual demand is a startling proposition. It is not merely that which is taken from us, but it must be borne in mind that in ordinary seasons the densely-populated manufacturing districts, which draw a large proportion of their supplies from Liverpool, depend, ins great measure, on the arrivals of bread -stuffs from the sister isle. This source is not only withdrawn, but large shipments are daily taking place from this to the other side of the Channel. Can any surprise, therefore, be felt at the present state of affairs? The enormous importations of 1846, nearly 2,000,000 quarters of wheat, and upwards of 3,000,000 cwt. of flour, have been almost wholly consumed. The quantity of grain, &c., at present in bond in the United Kingdom is trifling in the extreme: all parties engaged in the corn trade, whether as merchants, factors, millers, or dealers, are indifferently stocked: that farmers hold less than usual at the commencement of a new year is the prevailing opinion, and for two months we shall pro bably be without arrivals of importance from abroad. We shall not expatiate nu theAirobable effects of this state of things ; the facts are indisputable, and we leave our readers to draw their own conclusions. Farmers still act on the principle they have been guided by ever since harvest—being satisfied with the rates obtainable, they have all along supplied the markets freely. The damp weather experienced during the greater part of the week has been detrimental to the condition of the grain of last year's growth ; but though the quality of the wheat brought forward by the growers has in consequence of this cause been decidedly worse than that of previous supplies, a further advance of about 3s. per quarter has been obtained at all the leading markets in the agricul tural districts. Till very recently the new wheat has come to hand in such capital order as to render an ad'. mixture of old almost unnecessary, but this is no longer the case ; and it is, therefore, pretty certain that an extra demand for the free foreign still on hand will be experienced. At most of the out-ports the stocks of the latter are very insignificant, and the recent shipments to Ireland have also greatly decreased the quantity in warehouse in London. Under these circumstances we should not be surprised to see foreign bear a higher relative value than English. The advices from Liverpool of Tuesday, were of a very exciting character ; wheat was then quoted 4d. to 61 per 701bs. higher than on that day se'nnight, and for wheat meal 171. to 181. per ton was readily paid by the Irish purchasers. Other articles sold at equally high rates, say, American flour, 40s. per barrel in bond, and oatmeal 525. per load. Later in the week a further enhancement was insisted on, and some large sales of wheat and flour were made on Friday, the former bringing from 2d. to 3d. per 701b5., and the latter 6d per barrel, above Tues day's currency. The continued rise in the English mar kets, together with a lively local demand, has caused prices with f gr u o s; g i ain to run up ndeed,as regards a nearly a oats, ts s a , r t h p e i d a d ly in Scotland v ao coh as as be en much greater there than in the south : and it is perfectly clear that we cannot look for any further supplies of the last-named article from that quarter. By the latest accounts from Ireland we learn that a large fleet of vessels corn-laden had arrived there from England, a few cargoes from the south of Europe, and several from America. This welcome supply had, how ever, little effect on the markets ; and quotations of wheat meal, Indian corn, and indeed of almost all articles of food, were then still so much above our prices as to afford a good profit on shipments from this side. An intelligent correspondent states that a temporary re-action was the utmost that could be looked for, as all parties were so exceedingly bare of stocks as to render it certain that the corn would pass into immediate consumption almost as soon as landed. Potatoes, we are informed, had altogether ceased to come to market. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into the port of Lon don have been small this week, the total receipt up to Saturday evening having amounted to only 9,830 quar ters. It is not surprising that the supplies should show a falling off, as prices are at present lower in the metro politan than in several of the leading provincial markets; and many of the shippers on the east coast, who usually consign to London, have, no doubt, been induced to send their property to those places which promise to give them the best remuneration. The quantity of wheat exhibited at Mark-lane, by land carriage samples from the neigh bouring counties, has also been scanty. On Wednesda y the show consisted of a few parcels on the Essex an d Kent stands, left over from Monday, for these higher terms (were asked than would have been accepted in the beginning of the week, which had the effect, in the first instance, of checking the demand, but buyers find ing factors determined, were at last under the necessity of paying the terms demanded, and an advance of about Is. per quarter was established. On Friday the quan tity of English wheat on sale was even smaller than be fore, and some further enhancement was insisted on and obtained for really good conditioned parcels ; the total rise on Monday's currency may, therefore, be estimated at ls. to 2s. per quarter. The inquiry for foreign free wheat for shipment to Ireland has again become brisk ; in the commence of the week there was an appearance of a pause in the demand, but since then numerous orders to buy have again come to hand from the sister isle, and our stocks having been greatly diminished by the recent important shipments, holders have declined selling, ex• cept at rates ls. to 2s. per quarter above those previously current. The damp weather experienced during the last eight days has, as already remarked, prendered a mixture of old wheat more necessary than was reviously the case ; and the millers have, consequently, taken the finer sorts, such as Dantzic and the best red Baltic ; whilst the ordinary qualities have been bought to be converted into meal on Irish account. Inlbondecrwheat the opera tions have not been of much importance : owing to the article having been held relatively higher than free, it has failed to offer any inducement for speculative invest ments,and prices being n ow too hi g h here to allow of the execution of the orders which have come to band from France, few bargains have been closed. Quotations of town-manufactured flour have remained stationary since Monday, nor has any further advance taken place on country flour bran ; b u t good ds of Ameri can in bond, as well as free, have been held at rather over previous terms. The great rise established in barley on Monday . has failed to draw supplies to this market, and the arrivals into London, including 9,311 quarters from abroad, have amounted to only 12,055 quarters. The maltsters and distillers have, therefore, found it difficult to secure the quantity requisite for their immediate wants, and the sales made have been concluded o n terms decidedly in favour of the seller. For the best m alting qualities 63 5. per quarter has been paid, and ot her descriptions have produced corresponding prices. Malt has risen in the like proportion; and as the stocks of that article are known to be very short, a further ad vance is anticipated. Small as the supplies of oats have for some time been, a further falling off is exhibited this week in the receipts. We are disposed to think that the time has now arrived when this grain would feel the influence of the very great enhancement which has taken place in other sorts much effe , ct a on n ratesth the of corn without hitherto producing value of oats. On Wednesday there was certainly an increased disposition to buy, and towards the close of market the dealers took off a fair quantity hardly obtainable in the beginning of the w eek. On Friday th 3 anxiety to p urchase was more general , and those p r ices fully is. per quarter a bove freely paid. been held very firmly since ou r English Beans hav e again to have somewhat last, but the demand seems slackened ; and, though the qu_antity brought forward has been only moderate, the advance on previous rates has not exceeded is. p er quarter. For floating cargoes quiry, an d of Egyptian Beans there has been an in ' se veral bargains have been closed at 44s to 455. per quarter. The rise in the temp e rature has h a d t h e effect of checking the demand for boiling-peas, but there h as not been the slightest giving w ay on the p ar t o f the holders ; indeed, they were on F rida y unwilling to accept Mon day's terms. The offers of cargoes of Indian corn o n passage to this country have rather increased , . but th e quant i ty on the spot is still insigni ficant. This article has not ex cited quite so much attention as recently, still its value is relatively high as co m p ared with tha t of either wheat of spring corn. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONlCLE.—lnsignificance is the character of the speech of the King of the French. If worthy of remark at all, it is rather for what it leaves unsaid than for what it says. Hitherto we have been in the habit of looking. in such a document fora stereotyped phrase about the cordial understanding subsisting between France and Great Britain, and although many may think such a form of expression merely one of the banalities usual on these occasions, the absence of it now may almost be said to be a European calamity. We look up and down the speech in vain for anything like a mention of the relations subsisting between the two leading countries of Europe. We find nothing but an expression of the hope that their mutual efforts may be successful in the pacifi cation of the River Plate ; and a general intimation (in which we presume Great Britain is included) of King Louis Philippe's belief that the peace of the world may be preserved. And yet, strangely 'enough, by the side of this paragraph we find a lamentation over the breach of a treaty which is the basis of that general peace ! What, then, are to be the keystones of the future policy of France, if we are to go upon the authority of the royal speech at the opening of the Chambers? Spain certainly; probably Russia. The insignificant commer cial treaty lately negotiated with Russia (from which it is difficult to see the advantage to be derived by French subjects) is thought deserving of especial notice. A de cent veil is thrown around the mystery of the abortive negotiations with the Czar subsequent to the Montpen sier marriage. " I have concluded," says the French King, " with the Emperor of Russia a treaty of naviga tion, which guarantees to us, by a just reciprocity in our maritime relations with that empire, advantages which it was important for us to secure." Baffled twenty times in his efforts to conciliate the Imperial Court, King Louis Philippe returns to the charge with un wearied pertinacity. If the Czar will receive a compli ment in no other form, he must needs receive it in the royal speech, and feel convinced of one thing at least— how much the King of the French is his obedient humble servant. We do not, however, wish to strain a point, or to discuss as a probable contingency any inti mate relation between France and Russia. There are two very strong reasons why such a relation should never advance beyond its inchoate form in the brain of King Louis Philippe. The first is, that the Emperor of Russia, for various motives, personal and political, would never for a moment entertain the thought; the second, that the French people themselves would never consent to the necessary sacrifices of liberty to Abso lutism in Spain, Italy, and Germany, which must be given in such a case, as a guarantee of the sincerity of the French King. The bugbear of a Russo-French alliance is the merest hallucination of a professional al liance-monger. We turn next to a topic which precedes this velleity for a Siberian system in King Louis Phi lippe's speech—the mention which is made of Spain, and the late manoeuvres of M. do Bresson in tho Peninsula. This time the exultation of the King is no longer dis guised. He comes before the Chambers not to excuse, but to gloat over his gains. You would think, on read ing tho paragraph, that the cards have not two sides. The " funeral baked meats " of the deceased republic of Cracow follow, indeed, in the speech closely on " the marriage service " of Montpensier, in a reverse order from the old instance in the play; but the connexion between the two is as carefully concealed. You are left to suppose that the nuptials were a happy event, perfect and complete in themselves, without any consequence or bearing upon the obliteration of Cracow from the map of Europe. Cracow again, and the destruction of its nationality, stands out as a fortuitous event, disconnected with all other topics of the royal speech. We are simply told, "The republic of Cracow, an independent and neutral state, has been incorporated with the empire of Austria." What next? "I have protested against that infraction of the treaty." The official protest we printed the other day in all its unmeaning flaccidity; it must be fresh in the remembrance of our readers. That was the official act which was the object of the French King's allusion. The paragraph in which the recent achievements of M. de Bresson at Madrid are set forth must sound strangely in a Spanish ear. We had thought that the occupation of the Peninsula by the French armies during the wars of Napoleon—the more recent armed advance into the country, against which Mr. Canning struggled so long and so fruitlessly—the utter neglect of the fulfilment of King Louis Philippe's promises to aid the cause of con stitutional liberty in the still more recent and protracted struggle—could not be altogether forgotten at Madrid. But it is upon the discussion on the Address, and not in considering this speech, that the whole of this subject must be gone into. It is with sincere sorrow and sym pathy that we read the paragraph of King Louis Phi lippe's speech which alluded to the scarcity and distress now existing in France. Of the reality of these suffer ings we fear there can be little doubt. . - TIMES.—The French Chambers have seldom been convoked under circumstances of greater interest than those which attend the opening of the present session. The Chamber of Deputies elected in the course of the last summer now enters for the first time on the active discharge of its important functions ; and in many re spects the position of the country in its relations to the rest of Europe is as novel as the composition of the assembly to which these momentous subjects are about to be submitted. The Ministry, which has hitherto been taunted and assailed for its alleged subserviency to foreign influence. is now menaced by a part, at least, of the Opposition with a directly contrary accusation, and is attacked for having sacrificed an important foreign alliance to a narrow view of the interests of the reigning family of France. On the question of the English alli ance the leading members of the respective parties may be said to have changed sides ; for, although we have little doubt that they will vie with each other in assur ances of their future good-will towards this country, this country has not forgotten the history of the last few months, and the rapid ingenuity with which a groundless suspicion of the good faith of an English Minster was converted into a powerful instrument for the aggrandise ment of the house of Orleans and the subjection of Spain. The speech delivered by King Louis Philippe on Monday last is chiefly remarkable far the art with which the real difficulties of the posture of affairs in Europe are dis guised or avoided. The lesser fact is so presented as to mask the greater uncertainty. With reference to the marriage of the Duke de Montpensier, the whole policy of that transaction is boldly avowed, and if the family compact had been renewed in precise terms, the relations of the French and Spanish branches of the house of Bourbon could not have been more perspi cuously described. After a declaration of this magni tude and importance, there is a burlesque affectation in adverting to the concert of the French Government with that of the Queen of England —in the affairs of the River Plate! To that distant part of the globe the entente cordiale, which was the glory and the joy of former kings' speeches, has now receded ; and though we sincerely share the hope that the operations of the combined forces in the River Plate may re-establish the security of our commercial relations there, it must be acknowledged that the success of the united policy of France and England in th a t quarter has not been so brilliant as to compensate for the cessation of their union in other places. In like manner, the conclusion of a treaty of navigation with the Emperor of Russia is ostentatiously adverted to, and it is, we believe, the first time that Louis Philippe has had an occasion to intro duce the name of that Sovereign in conjunction with his own. But a treaty of navigation is a flimsy veil to draw over the policy of the Russian Court ; and the very next sentence of the speech reminds us of that " unexpected event which has impaired the state of affairs founded in Europe by the last treaty of Vienna," although it scorns that neither this nor any other occurrences has abated the King's " firmest confidence that the peace of the world continues secure." We must be permitted to observe, that the subjects to which his Majesty has thus been pleased to advert do not corroborate the general assurance which serves to introduce them, and that if the etiquette of the royal solemnity had allowed a some what closer examination of the real state of Europe, at no period of the King's reign would we have discovered deeper grounds of apprehension and anxiety. He stands alone, not at the close of a brief crisis, like that of IS4O, which had been exaggerated far beyond its real import ance, but at the commencement of a period when, in Italy, in Germany, in Switzerland, in European Turkey, and perhaps in Spain and in Greece, the most important occurrences may be expected. We trust that it will prove that the great interests arising out of these ques tions will unite, instead of dividing the policy of France and England; but the destruction of all confidence in the Sovereign, who exercises so direct a control over the foreign relations of his own Government, is a sorry pre lude to a system of combined action. At this very time, the representatives of the Northern Cabinets in Paris and the French Court are playing a game on bath sides, by which neither party is really deceived, but which Opens the path to as much connivance at unjust and arbitrary acts, and as great a sacrifice of the national dignity of France, as the King can give with impunity. To what slender proportions, after all,has the resentment of France for the annexation of Cracow been reduced!

These are views to which the friends of peace in bath couutries will, no doubt, eventually lend themselves, though we must still mark our deep sense of the breach of faith and of policy of which we have had to complain. But the force of events, wisely directed, is more likely to bring the two countries together than to sever them, although any attempt at this time to restore the close relations which have been so rudely disturbed would undoubtedly fail. As some allusion has been made by our Paris correspondent to the visit of an English gentleman to that capital, to whom public rumour has ascribed some such mission of reconciliation, it may not be superfluous to state, that Mr. Greying is understood to have no such mission whatever. No man, indeed, can be more generally known or more highly esteemed in the leading ranks of political society in both countries ; no man would be more fitted to remove the asperity which may have affected their intercourse. But a private visit to Paris has been accidentally magnified into an important negotiation; and the political consequences attached to this circumstance have probably been grossly exagge rated. ADVERTISER—One of the greatest legal injustices we have met with for a long time was enacted at Bow street on Saturday. The recruiting sergeant of a dragoon regiment summoned Mr. Searle, the landlord of the Salisbury Arms, Durham-street, in the Strand, for refusing to billet two recruits. In the absence of her husband, who was confined to his bed by illness, Mrs. Searle pleaded guilty to the charge, adding, that she considered that no licensed victualler ought to be called upon to answer for refusing to admit men who were so badly clothed that they could scarcely cover their nakedness, and who were "in the most filthy and disgusting state of nastiness. l ! Neithes her husband nor herself ever objected to admit soldiers with billets into their house; but, rather than admit such persons as were sent to her in the present instance, she would pay a penalty of twenty pounds. To all this, Mr. Henry, the presiding magistrate, replied that it was a duty thrown upon licensed victuallers by law. and the moment recruits were attested, although not in uniform, they were entitled to all the privileges of soldiers ! Now, we beg to say, that in our humble opinion, a suit of clothes is one of the privileges of a soldier. It is, moreover, quite as claimable a privilege on the part of society that men shall not, whether it be owing to their fault, or their misfortune, be suffered to shock public decency by appearing in the streets, or by being forced on licensed victuallers in such want of clothes that they can scarcely cover their nakedness. And the conclusion we draw from these two propositions is, that since the law has thrown the duty of billeting on the licensed victuallers, the recruiting sergeant, or his supe riors, ought to sea that their recruits are in something like a presentable appearance. We are quite ready to accede to Mr. Henry's interpretation of the statute, so far as to grant that from the moment recruits are attested they are entitled to all the privileges of soldiers, although not in uniform. But uniform is one thing, and the form of nature is another! Nor can we agree with him, if he would go so far as to say that it was ever intended by the Legislature, that persons " in the most filthy and disgusting state of nastiness" should be forced sub pernci, into the house of a licensed victualler! The important question of public health demands that if they are to be billeted in rags, they should at least have received the blandishment of a preparatory wash. Instead of Mr. Searle being fined forty shillings, we beg to say that he was rather entitled to the thanks of the community, and of the Legislature in particular, for refusing to believe that one of their Acts could admit of so dirty an inter pretation as was tried to be put upon this one by the recruiting sergeant of dragoons. At best the system of billeting is open to very grave objections. With barracks in every part of London, it not only seems, but it is a hardship, awl a very great one, that every " raw recruit," and, we must add, every naked and filthy one, should be saddled on a licensed victualler. We know the nuisance has been borne, and is still borne with the greatest possible good nature and cheerfulness ; but no one will pretend that it is anything but a nuisance, and one which we cannot believe to be necessary. At all events, the least return that can be made to the civility which endures with kind ness rather than reproaching, is to secure cleanliness and decency. It is no very unreasonable request, but it is both unreasonable and morally wrong, and, in our opinion, legally wrong too, to set a penalty on the re fusal to admit men who are neither clean nor decent! We do not speak without consideration when we state our confidence that this question, were it placed before a judge of the superior courts, and a jury of twelve disinterested men, would receive a very different adjudi cation than that which it received from Mr. Henry. REPEAL OF THE WINDOW-TAX. Last night a meeting of delegates from the metropo litan parishes was held at the Court-house, Marylebone,for the purpose of considering the most e ff ective mea sures for obtaining a repeal of the window duties, and also to form a deputation to wait upon Lord John Russell. The chair was taken by Mr. G. DANIELL, who said it was useless to attempt any sanatory measures without a total repeal of the window duties. Upwards of 50,000 children died annually from impure atmosphere. In Marylebone there were 15,000 houses, and 1,022 per sons in the same parish were disfranchised, which he con tended also showed the paramount necessity of abolishing the window duties.—(Cheers.) Lord DUNCAN, M.P., then addressed the delegates, expressing his satisfaction in coming forward. Although he had been 100 miles off that morning, when he re ceived the letter requesting his attendance he felt happy to be present at so numerous a meeting, since it con vinced him that the agitation for the repeal of the win dow tax was gaining ground. In 1845 he brought the subject before the House of Commons; in the last ses sion that House was so engaged in the corn and other questions that little had been done with regard to the window tax. When, however, the matter was brought before the House no one was prepared to de - ay that the tax was unequal and unjust. He (the Noble Lord) had proved that it pressed most unequally upon the poorer classes, and had showed that if th e l arger h ouses were visited with the same duties as the smaller houses, a much greater amount would be collected, because houses with a large amount of window duties gradually dimi nished to something like 3s. a window, while a tax of 7s. or Bs. was levied on small houses.—(" Hear," and ap plause.) The Noble Lord then called the attention of the meeting to the disfranchisement that had taken place in consequence of the window duties. Sir CHARLES NAPIER, M.P., said he coincided in opinion with the Noble Lord, that the window tax was both unpopular and unjust, and that it ought to be abo lished.—(Hear.) Arrangements were then made for the appointment of a deputation from the metropolitan parishes, to wait upon the Premier, and the meeting adjourned. PAINLESS SURGICAL OPERATIONS.—Guy's Hospi- ' tal yesterday was crowded to excess by numbers of the medical profession from all parts of the metropolis and the country, to witness the results of two surgical opera tions under the new process of inhalation of ether. The first case was that of a boy, twelve or fourteen years of age, for lithototay (stone in the bladder). When brought into the theatre and bound as usual, Mr. Robinson, of Gower-street, the inventor of the apparatus, offered the pipe for inhalation. At first he refused, but by some tact the pipe was introduced and the nose closed, and in two minutes Mr. Robinson said the patient was ready. The operation then commenced, and in one minute more was completed by Mr. Morgan. The boy, after his re moval to the ward, was visited by the surgeons, and on being shown the stone he said, " You never took that from me, I knows, as I never felt it." The next case was still more extraordinary. The patient, a man, suffering from congenital hernia, when brought into the theatre, readily took the vapour for five or six minutes. Tre word was then given to Mr. Key by Mr. Robinson to commence the operation, and the patient was under the surgeon's knife from fifteen to twenty minutes. On being asked by those around if he had felt pain he re plied, "None in the world. I have been looking at those gentlemen outside." lie alluded to numbers of gentlemen who, being unable to gain admittance, had recourse to the skylight of the theatre. Mr. Morgan and Mr. Key pronounced the results to be perfectly sa tisfactory. NEW BRITISH IRON COMPANY.—Yesterday the annual meeting of this concern wai held at the office of the company in Threadneedle street. The chair was taken by William Routh, Esq., who gave a very favour able account of the operations of the comany for the past year. The total of pig iron manufactured in the year was 52,309 tons, and of finished iron 41,944 tons. He had the satisfaction of stating that the company's means of production were now so great a; to enable them to make 1,300 tons of pig iron per week insteed of 1,000 as in the former year. By this time twelve monthshe hoped the proprietors would find the stateie d their accounts equally favourable as at present.

Four directors, namely, Josephlioare, Charles Kerr, John Hurdis Ravenshaw, an d John Horsley Palmer, Esqs., who retired by rotation, were re-elected unanimously, and Joseph Ricardo, Esq., was re-elected an auditor of the company. Mr. lichens moved a vote of thanks to the directors of t h e co m pa n y , which was seconded and passed unanimously, when the meet ing adjourned. ST. PANCRAS.—Yesterday a meeting of the Direc tors and Guardians of the Poor of St. Pancras was held in the Board-room of the Workhouse, King's-road, Camden Town ; Mr. B. J. E. Wright in the chair. Mr. M`Gahey, the vestry clerk, stated to the Board, that he had on Thursday last, pursuant to appointment, at tended at Somerset-house, and was examined by the Poor-law Commissioners, Sir Francis Edmund, Messrs. Lewis and Nicholls, and also an Assistant Commissioner, Mr. Hall, with a short-hand writer. Mr. M'Gahey re quested to be allowed to write down the questions and answers, but was refused, and informed that a copy of the depositions should be given him. The inquiries were generally as to the mode of administration of relief to the out-door poor, and other things connected with the management of the workhouse. Mr. M'Gahey had been under examination for about an hour at Somerset house, but he had not yet been supplied with a copy of the depositions as promised. After some slight discus sion, it was resolved that the depositions should be laid before the Directors as soon as they were forwarded to Mr. M`Gahey. COLONIZATION. As the subject of systematic colonization is now be ginning to engage a large portion of the public attention, the following memoranda relative to the Nova Scotia claims cannot fail to be read with interest. _ . The Baronetage of Scotland was erected in 1825 under express stipulations, that no Baronet should be created in Scotland except for the sole cause of promot ing the colonization of Nova Scotia; that the country of Nova Scotia should be divided into counties containing ten baronies, each three miles along the coast, and ten miles into the interior; and every Baronet should be a Baron of some one or other of the said Baronies, and was therein to have ten thousand acres of property, be sides his six thousand acres belonging to his burgh of Barony, to be holden free blanche, and in a free barony of the Crown, as did the barons of the realm of Scotland. The charter of the Premier Baronet, Gordon of Gordonstoun, dated the 28th of May, 1625, and the charters of the Baronets Campbell of Glenorchy, Innes of Innes, Wemyss of Wemyss, Macdonald of Macdonald, and Murray of Cockpool (now respec tively represented by the Marquis of Breadalbane, the Duke of Roxburgh, the Earl of Wemyss, Lord Macdonald, and the Earl of Mansfield), conferred from the 29th of May to the 19th of July, 1625, are made by the Royal Commission of King Charles I. to the Lords of the Privy Council for creating Baronets of Scotland and Nova Scotia (bearing date the 26th of July, 1625), the regulating fundamental constitution of the whole Scottish Baronetage, i.e. of all the families made Baronets from 1625 to the Union in 1707. These Charters, to which every patent of Charles IL, James 11., and William and Mary refer, contain clauses and provisions to the following effect, viz. :—" The said charters are, and shall be, valid sufficient and effectual in all time coming in all parts thereof as set forth for ever, to the said Baronets and each of them, in law against the king, his heirs and successors, and against all other persons whatsoever, in all his Courts, and those of his heirs and successors and in all other places whatsoever at all times and occasions, notwithstanding whatsoever law, custom, prescription, practice, ordinance, or consti tution hitherto made, ordained, or published; or here after, at whatsoever time to be made, ordained, and pub lished or provided, and notwithstanding any other cause or occasion whatsoever." The Charter of the Premier Baronet was renewed and confirmed by William 111. in 1698—seventy three years after the period of the first grant. The proceed ingse s to a n tion whichnr theirth eßraigrohiti s ets co amremennocwedenignagleBd3sfoj and rb tween that date and the treaty of Paris in 1763 ( when the rights of the Baronets revived under the jure post liminii) only 72 years intervene. This is an important historical fact in a case of this nature, inasmuch as the precedent of the recognition of the validity of the rights and privileges conveyed in the Gordon Charter by the King and Government in 1698, ought to rule the Crown and Government in the present day. But the rights and privileges subsisting in the families forming the Scottish Baronetage are protected by the Act of Union in 1707, nine years later that: the renewal by William 111. of the Gordon Charter, i. e. eighty-two years subsequent to the foundation of the Order—a period almost exactly the same as that which has elapsed since the treaty of Paris, in 1763, and this date. Within, however, twelve years from the date of the Treaty of Paris (viz., in 1775), various meetings of the Baronets of Scotland, took place, when steps were adopted for the revival of their common rights and pri vileges. Whilst somewhat later, in the months of July and October, 1783, meetings of the said Baronets, and of representatives in right of their lands in Nova Scotia, were expressly held in Edinburgh-Ist, because " mea sures were being taken in London, which might mate rially affect their interests in the estates granted to them in Nova Scotia;" and, 2d, "to consider a memorial to the Lords of the Treasury on the subject of their grants." At the last general meeting of the Order, on the 7th of November, 1844, it was supposed that no proceedings had followed the meetings in 1783, but within the last eighteen months two original letters of the late James Ctimmyng, Esq., of the Lyon-office (who acted as secre tary to the then Committee of Scottish Baronets), have been recovered. From these documents (which bear date 30th April and 4th August, 1777) the following are extracts :—" Our Baronets, not content with the re covery of their badge, are determined to apply to Go vernment for the lands granted to their ancestors with their titles, and I have long been employed in selecting the description of the boundaries of their lots (16,000 acres each) from their charters, and adjusting it to a plan of the country on as enlarged scale which will soon be laid before the Board of Trade;" and again, " I have lately got extracts from the Lord Register's-office of the patents of all the Baronets, with descriptions of the lands in America bestowed on them, from which I am Twoandof a the meetin g s in acres, 783 to foam a plan o f th e groun d s, mark i ng each mem b er ' s name on his grant." Th ese not i ces are dec i s i ve as to th e character , oft that te since Scottish sn ia baron e ts —an d questi was out of the eleven in New Brunswick as yet unlocated, would suffice to quiet the me claims bere draitiseids,toinbleB3re6-, our Government has yielded up, to the unjust demands of the United States, a larger portion of the soil of that province by the settlement of the boundary question. Further—within the same period, the " Irish Society of London" incorporated by James I. in 1613 for the Plan tation of Ulster, have revived their objects after remain.. ing (as shown by Mr. Hall in his late work) for " above two centuries as utterly unacquainted with their estates, as if they had been situate in Kamschatka." But allowing no such precedents could be cited— nevertheless the condition of Scotland on the one hand, overburdened with population, and of New Brunswick, on the other, now being settled in a way that is certain to terminate in a vulgar republic, combine to form most powerful moral and political reasons why the Scottish Baronets should again exercise the rights and objects of their institution. The Order was founded hereditarily to promote " the opulence, prosperity and peace" of the mother country and the colony—and with famine in the Highlands, and one• tenth of the inhabitants at large -250,000 souls—in a state of pauperism, it is full time that those concerned should, by a vigorous, united, and patriotic effort, make the Baronetage the mighty stare engine of practical usefulness whereby (as contemplated by its royal toundet ) each baronet in particular, and the whole Scottish nation generally, shall have honour and profit." —Ross-shire Advertiser. MIRACULOUS PRESERVATION OF A FRENCH BARQUE BY H.M.S. TYNE. 11.M.5. Tyne, 28, Captain Glascock, arrived at this port on Saturday last, having put in by stress of wea ther on her way to Portsmouth. The Admiralty,. an ticipating the probability of her arrival here, had or dered her to remain to be paid off. On Christmas day, during a most dreadful gale, the Tyne fell in with a French barque in great distress, evidenced by her hav ing the national flag half down on her three mast heads The Tyne at once closed with a view to hail her, and endeavour to ascertain the extent of her distress, but such was the violence of the gale, that all attempts at verbal c fuo impossiblemrai nu m yu t s i l n ay i t, c t a e w t m i i o tpt n hth aaNVsthaohsauelaidvlllbyopbarsetfleCaint;:aivadtbledlwe to olsw considered u h aosr e niad e g rtt a hhe l d e ee r w n a e a g x: e t n r g : o i f . barque ; at this juncture, M r .

On the 26th December, at noon, the weather becoming more moderate, the spar was sent on board, and with great difficulty secured and found sufficiently effective to wear the barque round with her head to the northward, and before dark, with the co nsent of her captain the Tyne took the barque in. tow. Between the 26th and 28th, the Tyne's crew were con stantly engaged by day and night occasionally misting off the tow, and employedin the boats towing the two vessels apart, as the w ind fell light and the swell' in creased, in consequence o f the two vessels having a,great r te u n d ( d le e t r xy wa to s cfluolslye.

Yesterday a numerously-attended meeting of agricul turists and tenant•farmers, d‘-put.ql from various counties throughout the kingdoM, assembled at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Qleen•street, to consider the best means I for rendering the proposed testimonial to his Grace the Duke of Richmond as effective as possible. I The room was crowded is every part, and among th e gentlemen present we observed the Duke of Richmond ; I Mr. Fisher Hobbs, Mr. Elman, Sussex ; Mr. Warnes, jun., Norfolk; Mr. Hilditch, Hants ; Mr. Weston, Northamptonshire ; Mr. Browne, Wilts ; Mr. Earle, Hants ; Mr. Cheetham, Mr. Harnolt, Hants ; Mr. Bur -1 gess, Dorset ; Mr. F. Smith, Dorset; Mr. Speering, Hants ; Mr. Pane, Bedford ; Mr. Purchase, Pilstowe ; Mr. Carroll, Monmouth ; Mr. Jones, Monmouth ; Mr. Newbolt, Sl ea f or d ; Mr. Jervis, Wilts ; Mr. Pile, Hants ; Mr. Onslow, Mr. Bridger, Winchester ; Mr. Suitor, Huntingdon ; Mr. Biddle, Essex ; Mr. J. ?ane, Hants ; Mr. W. Burrell, Mr. Rodell, Suffolk ; Mr. Waters, Winchester ; Mr. W. Lamb, East Sussex ; Captain Beasley, Lincoln ; Mr. Phillipps, Mr. Harts horn, Mr. Loscombe, Andover ; Mr. Wyatt, Chedham; Mr. B. Smith, Mr. Warsopp, Hants ; Mr. Umber, Mr. John Hudson, Castleacre ; Mr. Jones, Cambridge ; Mr. Boyer, Huntingdon. Mr. Jorni ELLMAN, of Sussex, was called to the chair. He (the chairman) suggested that the best mode in which they could commence the proceedings would be by the appointment of a general committee, the individual members of which would exert themselves in their respective localities to forward the object in view. Mr. BURRELL remarked that, as the proposed institu tion was to be one not founded alone by the subscriptions of members belonging to protection societies, many persons might wish to subscribe from a desire to aid so praiseworthy a cause.—(Hear, hear.) He would there fore suggest that power be given to the committee to add to their number such gentlemen as might manifest a desire to exert themselves in the cause of so benevolent and useful an institution.--(Hear, hear.) There was another observation which he wished to make, not only as a member of the committee, but as a Sussex man. His Grace the Duke of Richmond was the founder of their institution, and he thought they ought to pay the Noble Duke the compliment of electing him the presi dent and permanent chairman of committees.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He would therefore move " That his Grace the Duke of Richmond be appointed president of the institution, and permanent chairman of com mittees."—(Hear.) The suggestion was approved, and formally adopted. The following gentlemen were appointed members of the working committee :—Mr. John Hudson, Mr. Fisher Hobbs, Mr. John Warnes, jun., Mr. John Meire, Mr. Ellman, Mr. Browne, Mr. Rodnell, Captain Beasley, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Hartshorn, Mr. Purchase, Mr. New bolt, Mr. Umbers, Mr. Jones, Mr. Boyer, and Mr. G. Bridger. The Duke of RicHaroteD, in rising to acknowledge the compliment conferred by his appointment as president of the proposed institution, and perpetual chairman of the committee, said—Gentlemen, having been requested to attend here to-day by your respected honorary secre tary, I assure you, often as I have risen in public—often as it has been my good fortune to meet the farmers of this country, I never upon any previous occasion rose with such deep feelings of pride and gratitude as I do now. I have long felt with emotions of no ordinary nature, that I have never passed a farmer's house in any part of the country without feeling assured that if I knocked at the door and sought admittance, I would find a friend within to welcome me.--(Hear.) But, gentle men, I must confess I did not expect to meet with any such exhibition of feeling and attachment as you have exhibited here to-da.y—(l-lear, hear.) lam well aware that this manifestation of your kindness is materially owing to my having, during the period I lived in this country, availed myself of every opportunity in my power to do my utmost to protect and uphold the agricultural interests of the country, and not only to protect and uphold them by maintaining those lairs which I felt in my conscience to be right, but by exerting myself to promote the improvement of agriculture throughout every district of Great Britain.—( [Tear, hear.) Gentle • men, I believe the circumstance is by no means frequent where testimonials of a flattering character are accorded to individua!s who have failed in the great object for the achievement of of which they had confederated. If we had beaten the Anti-Corn-law League last year, then I should not have been so much surprised at this mark of your kindness and this great expression of your gratitude; but being defeated, the tribute becomes more valuable, for it plainly shows me it comes from your hearts, and I ant more delighted, as it will attest to persons hereafter, who may occupy a position in society similar to my own, that the tenant-farmers of England like men who will stand forward undauntedly in their cause, :nd that they feel a deep debt of gratitude for exer tions, however humble or inefficient such exertions may prove to be.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I certainly felt that we should have some means of taking care of those industrious tenant-farmers who might by adverse cir cumstances undergo those changes which must take place in a great country like this. Gentlemen, I know I have been attacked for saying that I wished the labourers and their families to betake themselves to the workhouse. I deny the imputation. I felt that some steps should be taken to lessen the demands made on the poors'-rate of the country, but I know I have never seen or heard of persons belonging to the industrial classes going into the workhouse without strong feelings of regret.--(Hear, hear.) If then, Gentlemen, I have felt for them, must I not feel still more for those who have been brought up in, and shared through early life the blessings of, better fare, liberty, and the enjoyment of respectable society? Can I think it right that re spectable farmers should be sent into the workhouse, there to associate with men who ought never to have been its inmates, and perhaps who never would have been had they paid fewer visits to the beershops?—(Hear, hear.) It is with these views I think such an institu tion ought to be formed for the benefit of the tenant farmers of this country. I must leave it entirely to you to work out the details, though, as a member of the committee, I shall feel most happy to attend and con sult with you, and give my best aid towards carrying out successfully what you will permit me to say should, in my opinion, be considered a great national object.— (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have now only to tender my sincere thanks for the great patience with which you have listened to me. The Noble Duke resumed his seat amid loud applause from all parts of the room. Some routine business having been transacted, a con versation took place relative to the appointment of a second honorary secretary to assist Mr. Burrell in dis charging the duties, which were expected to become onerous. The expediency of retaining the services of a paid secretary was also mooted, but the final considera tion of both appointments were reserved for an early meeting of the committee. Mr. BURRELL announced that he had received several communications from local societies, and from private individuals, approving of the intended compliment to his ) Grace the Duke of Richmond, and expressive of their de termination to second the exertions by every means in their power. He, then read a detailed list of subscrip tions from various districts of the country, and informed the meeting that many societies had promised to increase the amount remitted. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated. SUICIDE OF MR. YOZATT, THE VETERINARY SUR GEoN.—Yesterday, Mr. Mills received information of the . death of Mr. Youatt, the celebrated veterinarian, who committed suicide under the following melancholy cir cumstances :—lt appears that the deceased gentleman, so well known in the sporting world, was in the seven tieth year of his age, and resided with his family at No. 1, Osnaburgh-place, New-road. The deceased had, by heavy pecuniary losses from unfortunate specula tions, become somewhat embarrassed, which at length resulted in a morbid depression of spirits, which at times was so perceptible that his friends apprehended he was of unsound mind ; but generally after an attack of melancholy he would become so cheerful and rational as entirely to remove all previous fears. He was a man of good health, and, in fact, never exhi bited the slightest symptoms of ill health until Satur day last, on which morning, between eleven and twelve o'clock, he went out complaining of a pain in his head, and rather dispirited. lie returned at twelve, and then retzred into his room, where he remained undisturbed until about twn, Nhen the maid-servant proceeded to his apartment to announce the dinner, hut receiving no answer, and the door being partially open, she stepped in and SAW him sitting on a couch. Thinking he was askep she advanced, and discovered that he was dead. There was a small bottle, as well us a cup, by his side on the table, which had evidently contained poison. It was stated that on the morning of the lamentable event the deceased had received a bill fur a large SLIM (?f money, which he was unable to meet, and it was consi dered that he had gone out in the hope ofproppri amount, and that his inability to succee d led him commission of suicide. ntgo the the following arrivals of FOREIGN POTATOES.- The ilt a potatoesriefia Devine,ve b"ue•ht 100 tons, and the place during the past Wee :—The Four Brothers, front the same place. 20 tons, the pro the Douro, from Oporto, 28 t f a r k e e ri n i Dunkirk, , baskets, (d)fuPceoiluNgu°ersneln:do3d.u;ction ; the Columbine, from Havre, 9S sacks ; the Rose, from Gravelines, 44 tons ; the Leon, from the same place, 53 tons ; the St. Jacques t;olalsnd; J the C a li n a e r , le f s r , om fro c m ala th is e , samealso t E ro re m ne G h r p av e e r l t i , n 4 es B , t 4 o O ns an entire cargo, comprising about 1 1 )(1_ tons, the whole the produce cf France ; the S , .
