Yesterday evening an entertainment was given to Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Angel Inn, Islington, by his consti tuents, ,not only as a testimony of their approval of his political conduct, but of the way in which he has discharged his duties as coroner, and particularly of his mode of con ducting the proceedings of the inquest at Hounslow: Mr. Fielden, M.P., presided, and was supported by Mr. T. Dun combs, M.P., General Sir De Lacy Evans, M.P., Mr. Shar man Crawford, M.P., Mr. Williams, and several in fluential gentlemen not in Parliament. About eighty of the electors of the borough sat down to an exceedingly well arranged dinner. The moment the cloth was removed, The CHAIRMAN rose, and said that the first toast on his list was one which used to be drunk first in better times, viz., "The people, the just sou r ce of a ll political power." he toast was drunk with loud cheering. The next toast, " The Queen, and may she at all times faithfully fulfil the wishes of the people, and always set a good example to the aristocracy, amongst whom she held the highest rank," having been drunk with the greatest enthusiasm, • The CHAIRMAN proposed the "Health of Mr. Wakley, the honest and fearless representative of the borough of Fins bury in Parliament." The toast was pledged amitht general and vehement cheering. Mr. %VARLET commenced by acknowledging the kind and flattering manner in which I hey had received the toast. The Hon. Gentleman then described his own active life for nearly ahaqducaorntedruoctfeadcaenptuabrieyi, irn f o o u rtwenty-three years of which he Al, had been twelve years their representative, and for eight years coroner for a considerable portion of that county. He continued—the Reform Bill had not been attended with the good consequences some persons expected, and the House of Commons 'night still be named emphatically a bad house, and John Bull ought to be called John Cow, for he yielded to the pressure of taxation as ith merely a grumble, but did not combine and agitate properly to make the Legislature act as i t ought to do. Public spirit was not kept alive except when some great crisis occurred; in fact, John Bull seemed always to be locking the door after the horse was stolen. He would not go through all the mis doings `of the last Parlia men t, but merely state his opinion that it was not a good one for the people, and how it would end he knew not. The time would soon come when a grand national inquest would be held upon it. He was of opinion that the duration of Parliament, should be shortened, the number of the electors should be increased in order to render them more independent, and that the vote by ballot was necessary, though the electors of Finsbury were able to do without it, and preferred going to the hustings and re cording their votes openly. The Hon. Member the n alluded to the state of Ireland, which, he observed, showed how occupied people were in England. Proposals were now being made to send large grants of money to. the sister country. Did. the electors of Flashing regret those grants 2. No, they would not regret them if they saw that the result of them would be placing society in Ireland upon a just and safe footfns: He would • ask whether the proposals now made by Ministers had that ten dency? In his opinion they had not, and they would only make things worse. A small party of public men with whom he was connected had been for many years demand ing for Ireland ene thing—viz., a just and liberal poor-law; and, in the absence of it, every farthing seat to that country would be a robbery, because it would not be a benefit to the poor Irish, but to the Irish landlords only.—(Hear.) There were at that table six Members of the House of Comons, and he believed that every one of them took the same view as he did of the question.—( Hear, hear.) If such a state of things were permitted any longer, it would be a judgment on the whole community for their supineness. In the parish of St. Giles 27,0001. a year were collected for the relief of the poor, and during the last year he was told that 20,0001. out of that sum had been expended on the poor of Ireland. The truth was that the officers of that parish, seeing what would be the fate of the Irish if they were sent back to their own country, declined sending them there any longer. When a poor-law was spoken of for Ireland the Irish landlords contended that such a tax would amount to a confiscation of their property. All he could say was, " then lam for confiscation."—( Loud cheers.) If it is to be a question between the landlords of Ireland and the people of England who is to be robbed, I say, as one of the majority, let the minority be robbed.—(Loud_ cheers.) Th e y h ave been long enough robbing us . He was told that if out-door relief was given to the Irish they would not 'work. He knew better ; they worked in this country, and they did not apply for relief as long as they could work. He could not help alluding to another proposal for the benefit of Ireland, viz , the loan of sixteen millions to make rail ways in a country were people were so poor that they had not money enough to pay the smallest passage fare. This was a scheme propounded by the leader of the Protectionist party. Really it was an Irish proposal, though some said it was concocted in the land of Hudsonia. It was most ridi culous to say it was the relief of Ireland, when the truth was that it was intended for the benefit of Irish railway shareholders.-.(Hear, hear.) He believed that the good sense of some of the Members of the House of Commons would prevent the passing of such a measure, and that it would not be revived in the House of Lords. The Hon. Member then alluded to the late judgment pronounced in the Court of Queen's Bench unfavourable to him, and having gone over the facts connected with the inquest at Hounslow, maintained that that judgment was delivered in ignorance, and that he would defend himself against the injustice, not only on the present occasion, but on a fitting opportunity elsewhere. Having thanked the electors for the honour they had done him, the Honourable Gentleman sat down amidst loud cheering. Some other members then addressed the company, who did not separate until a late hour. N 0.16,977. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING SUN 7 . FEBRUARY 16, 1847.

On the subject of the money market, the Courier and Inquirer says— " Foreign Exchange was less in demand to-day, and sellers of bills on London were more readily found at 6 1 ,E than buyers; and the opinion seems to be entertained in some well•informed quarters, that the rate will recede below 6. If, however, another opinion which is gaining strength be accu rate, that through the large issues of Treasury notes and other causes, there is to be an abundant money market, Foreign Exchange can hardly fall so low.

The diseases in which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty of breathing, tightness of the chest, spasmodic asthma, catarrhs, hoarseness, sore throats, aphony (loss of voice), ear-aches, rheuma tism of the jaws, tooth-ache, neuralgia, &c. In the first stage of consumption their beneficial effects are surprising, and in the ad • winced stages they relieve the cough, lessen the expectoration, check the night perspiration, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.

Reader, remember, this letter was put lute the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tnaity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, In having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout tour months, nd the whole of her hair Is much stronger and mere luxuriant than - - over was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladles would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perienoe, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair In abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts,.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and wevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product et the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing adour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pear ten or twelve drops an the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hoar. Ix most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.--See pamphlet of testimonials.

EXPERIENCES OB A GAOL CHAPLAIN. —These volumes, just published, contain the Recollections of Minis- terial Intercourse with Criminals of various classes, together with their confessions. We have often laboured to prove that nine-tenths of the entire amount of crime are traceable, not to a natural depravity on the part of the offenders them selves, but to the vitiated state of society in which they live. The Gaol Chaplain has acquitted himself of his task iu a highly meritorious manner; and his book will be read and admired by thousands. It is a book to buy for those who have the means; not merely hire, peruse, and send back to the circulating library. It may be read and re-read with edification. The preface alone is worth all the money re quired for the purchase of the three volumes; it is an elabo rate and excellent essay upon the nature and ori g in of crime —the folly of associating vengeance with punishment—the m e e w an a of mitigating the vast amount of off ences which periodically occupy the attention of criminal j ud g es —and the necessity of studying correction and preventio n rather thanesisttihbele a relations of ofc Disp crime and penalty.

Lawrence, Ferguson, Guthrie, Aston Key, Morgan, Thomson, M'Murdo, and many other eminent Surgeons, have operated on patients whilst under the in fluence of iEther, by means of this instrument, with the most com plete success, to whom Mr. Hoeper begs to refer, and to the reports in the recent Medical Journals. The success attending this Inhaler is in great measure owing to the construction of the valves. Orders addressed to Mr. Hooper will be executed on the day they are received. 7, PALL-MALL EAST. NINE DAYS LATER NEWS, ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, MONDAY AFTERNOON. The steam-ship Hibernia, Caplan Ryrie, arrived in the Mersey at an early hour this morning, after a rapid voyage of 13i days. She brings 75 passengers, and a heavy monthly mail. The Hibernia's outward passage was rather more pro tracted than usual, as she had - to encounter heavy gales from the westward, and fogs when tiff the coast of Ame rica. In a political point of view her news, which is nine days later from the United States, does not possess much importance. The commercial intelligence, how ever, is highly important, and will no doubt tend much to influence the general aspect of commercial affairs in this country. Under these circumstances we shall first allude to it. It is most satisfactory to be enabled to report that the improvement in the exchange on England is fully established. The latest quotation at New York, for the steamer Hibernia, was 1061, and a large business was done. The gold taken out by the Hibernia had the immediate effect of turning the balance of trade, or, at all events, of making it a matter of doubt whether further shipments of specie would render a profit to the English exporter. The further supply of 300,0001, sent out by the Cambria, will give a large amount to draw against, and must tend to relieve anxiety on this side as to future requirements of bullion. The proceedings of Congress present no features of parti cular note. In the Senate, on the 25th tilt., Mr. Benton, on leave, made a speech in vindication of the President for having proposed the creation of the office of Lieutenant- General of the army. The plan, he stated, was his, not the President's. In September the President had offered him the mission to France, which be positively declined. In No vember he sent for him, and asked his opinion relative to the future conduct of the war. He (Mr. Benton) gave his plan, and afterwards put it in writing, but would not disclose it. He would say, however, that it required one head for the whole army, and that the war should he prosecuted vigo rously, living on the enemy, and levying contributions. le neral Jackson had offered him the command of the army in 1836, in case of war with Mexico. In 1812, he (Mr. Benton) was the military superior of every general new in the ser vice. He mentioned these things only to vindicate the Pre sident. On the 27th the Treasury Note Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. Cilley's resolution to withdraw the troops from Mexico was taken up, and after some remarks, Mr. Cilley made an explanation, and the resolution was laid on the table—yeas, 44; nays, 0. In the House on the Anne day, Mr. King, of Georgia, ofered a joint resolution, which was passed, directing th e P res id en t t o procure gold and silver medals for the officers and the men of the French, Spanish, and English vessels of war, who aided in rescuing the seamen of the brig Somers. The Bill to increase the pay of and grant bounty land to the regulars and volunteers of the army was finally passed by 171 to 18. Mr. Schenck moved a sus pension of the rules to introduce his resolution relative to the withdrawal of the troops from Mexico to the east, bank of the Rio Grande, which was negatived by a vote of 28 to 150. The two Senate amendments to the Treasury Note Bill were agreed to. In the Senate on the 28th, Mr. Upham presented a resolu tion from the Legislature of Vermont against the Mexican war and the acquisition of slave territory. The Committee on:Naval Affairs reported a Bill,to provide for the construction of four steam-ships-of-war. Mr. Niles offered a resolution declaring it necessary to raise an additional revenue of 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 dolls. annually, by increasing the duties on articles now taxed, and the war. duties on those now free , to meet the ex p enses o f The following important r esolutions had passed the Stew Legislature of New York by a vote of 23 to 6 : " Resolved—That, as war now exists between the United States and Mexico, it is the imperative duty of every citizen a al l manner proper u a til it shall be ns o u f a rt t ei h os insf national it u he n ne t o r p y arro t du u t s i t io a nn i t n eor i fe s t s tt sh G e o d v we m e a r ra n , n m i dn e , n suu t nc i h n ter minated by an honourable peace. " Resolved—That no peace with Mexico can be regarded as honourable to the United States which shall not secure from that republic full indemnity for the aggressions which it has committed upon the rights of this country aid its citizens. " Resolved—That if any territory is hereafter acquired by the 'United States, or annexed thereto, the act by which such territory is acquired or annexed, whatever such act may be, should contain an unalterable fundamental article or provision whereby slavery or involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, shall be for ever excluded from the territory acquired or annexed. " Resolved—That the Senators in Congress from this state be instructed, and that the Representatives in Congress from this state be requested, to use their best efforts to carry into effect the views expressed in the foregoing resolutions. "Resolved—That the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the Assembly be requested to transmit a copy of the foregoing resolutions to each of the said Senators and Representatives." The following resolutions upon the same subject have been passed in both branches of the Pennsylvania Legiala tare—in the House by a vote of 96 to 0, and in the Senate yeas 24, noes 3 : " Whereas, the existing war with Mexico may result in the acquisition of new territory to the Union ; ".end whereas, measures are now pending in Coegs having in view the appropriation of money, and th con ferring authority upon the treaty-making power to this end; therefore, " Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met,—That our Senators in Congress be instructed, and our Representatives requested, to vote against any measure what ever by which territory will accrue to the Union, unless as a part of the fundamental law upon which any compact or treaty for this purpose is based, slavery or involuntary servi tude, except for crime, shall be for ever prohibited. " Resolved,—That the Governor be requested to forward a copy of the foregoing resolution to our Senators and Repre sentatives in Congress." We copy from the Philide'phia North American the fol lowing statement The Secretary of the Treasury will recommend an in crease of 10 per cent. on coal, and 10 per cent. on iron— generally, a reduction of 10 - per cent. on scythes, axes, &C., upon which he says the revenue is depreciated by prohibi tion, and in which he i 3 decidedly mistaken, for the policy has not been fairly tested. He will_ also recommend 30 per cent. increase on refined sugar. It will be seen that these concessions are made for political effect in Pennsylvania and Louisiana. Some of the other schedules are changed to effect other latitudes. He renews the applications made to the House for a tax of 20 per cent. on tea and coffee. Whatever may be the fate of the last proposition, I regard the others to be entirely out of the question." In the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on the 23d ult., the Bill for roviding for the payment of the in terest falling (Inc on the state debt on the Ist of February and Ist of August next, and appropriating 2,000, 000 dolls. for those purposes, was read a second and thir d time and passed. intel- From the seat of war there is not any ligence of moment. It was rumoure d that General Quitman's division and some Mexican troops at Matamoros had had an engagement, but no faith was attached to the report. Santa Anna's movements were doubtful. Vera Cruz and San Juan de Ulloa were to be attacked shortly. The American forces were making every preparation for an efficient and decisive battle. Commodore Connor had dispersed the ves sels of the squadron along the Mexican coast, so as to effectually and rigorously blockade it. The A m ericans bad cap tured, under a heavy fire, a vessel t h a t was attempting to land her cargo at Anton Lizardo. From California there is no late intelligence. Nothing had been heard of General Kearney sinco he left Santa Fe with a small escort of dragoons to cross the continent of Monterey, on the Pacific. Accounts from Santa Fe to November 29, 1846, state that about 400 of the Mormon troops had left that place on the 18th for California, under the command of Colonel Cook. From Canada we have la te accounts, but the contents are uninteresting. Great exertions were being made to assist the desti tute in Ireland. • COMMERCIA L INTELLI GENCE. ' We have given in our last American news' dispatch a report of the New Yo rk and other markets, u p to the 23d of January. The Hibernia reached Bo3ton on the 25th, when the demand and price of all kinds of provisions were much the same as we quoted on the arrival of the Queen of the West, but no sooner hadhoeproascled to takebe comeviceaknown than m erchants at once pr a advantage of the favourabl e r p our eorts.Higher prices were instantly demanded, and, of e, H paid ; and in the course of about twenty-four hours from the time the news became known in New York, the value of every kind of grain and grain produce, rose nearly 25 per cent. above previous prices. A New York paper of the 31st/ ultim o contains the following remarks on the subject : ._ The news brought by the Hibernia, of the advance in cot ton, and particularly m breadstuffs, which was not antici pated, was received here on the 25th, and created an unusual excitement in the market, which haa continued ever since in the moat animated state. The prices of cotton h ave advanced one cent. per pound. Flour 1 doll. to 1 doll. 25c. per barrel. Wheat from :30 to 35 cents. per bushel, and corn meal SS to 100 per barrel. Freights to Liverpool have reached is. for dour, and 23d. for grain ; vessels continue scarce. The effect of this intelligence, and the large amount of specie brought out by the steamer, have caused great buoyancy in the money market. According to the manifest, the Hibernia brought 546,0001., but it is asserted that she had fully 3,000,000 dolls, on board. Stocks of every description have advanced, but there was previously an upward tendency, c ause d partly by the financial measures of the Government, th e issue of Treasury notes instead of proposals for a loan. which capi talists had been led to expect , and partly bY a generall) abundant) ro p erou - Prevailing impression, that in consequenc . e oti o i r d tl biee i condition of our foreign trade mon e y v, Most of the specie has reached Wall street.

Mr. Wallace's new opera of Matilda was advertised for performance at this theatre last evening, and judging from the genius which Mr. Walla ce h as man i fested in his opera ofNaritana, we anticipated a great treat. After waiting until long after seven o'clock, the audience became im patient, and there were loud calls for the manager. At length air. Bunn appeared, leading on Mr. Vincent Wallace, the composer of the opera. Mr. Bunn then addressed the audience, and said—That during the whole course of his life he had never been placed in so unpleasant a situation; that he had made every preparation for the production of the opera, and that within five minutes of the time when the curtain was to have been rung up, he had received a medical certificate stating that Miss Romer was so ill as to be unable to leave her room. Under these circumstances he threw himself upon the generosity of the public. They might have their money back, have tickets for another night, or he would endeavour to substitute some other performance fur the one advertised. There were then loud cries of "Overture," and Mr. Bunn withdrew, while Mr. Vincent Wallace stepped into the orchestra and conducted the overture—a most tasteful and brilliant composition—full of melody, and some of the effects of which are most telling. In fact, so beautiful is, the overture, that we are most anxious to hear the opera ; and if the librettist has at all been equal to the maestro, its success must be certain. At the conclusion of the overture, Harley came forward, and announce d t h at the Bondman would be performed, Miss Messent taking the part which Miss Romer had hitherto taken. This announcement was the signal for a deafening uproar. It was impossible to catch a note of the first act. The dissentients, however, gradually seceded, and the second act was suffered to proceed in something like quietude. Judging from her performance in the second act, we should: say that Miss Messent is a young lady who will advantage greatly by this unlucky accident. She manifested, great firmness and great presence of mind in the face of an ad verse audience, and her performance of the music was exact, in rood time, in good taste, and artist-like. Placed unex pectedly in the position of a prima donna, she has shown her self equal to the occasion, and we hope to meet Miss Messent on some future occasion, when she will have fair play, and will encounter, instead of an unruly mob, a judicious and a discriminating audience. When such an occasion shall arrive Miss Messent will not be found wanting. A STREET FLOWING WITII BEER.-- Th is morning (Friday) early, one of the waggons loaded with beer, be longing to the Setch brewery, broke down on the High Bridge, when several barrels burst, and also a cask of rum, when the whole, or greater part of the liquor in them, flowed down the channel of the street. This flood of the potent draught formed an excellent treat to some labouring men, who stretched themselves at length on the ground, and drunk of the beer and rum to their heart's content. — Lynn Advertiser. STOCKINGS FOR TIIE ROYAL INFANTS.—The Clare Journal says—" We feel great pleasure in recording an instance of her Majesty's wish to encourage by her pa tronage the native manufactures of Ireland. 'Two girls, sis ters, of the name of Davies, living in Corofin, in this county, having long enjoyed a well•deservec . l7putation for the taste and skill evinced by them in the knitting of stockings, were advised to present a pair of them to her Majesty, who was so pleased with the beauty of design and execution dis played in them, as to order four and twenty pair for the royal infants." A Goon EXAMPLE.—The Constitutionnel publishes the following letter, dated Berlin, 31st ult. :—" A few days since M. Braconier, a stock-broker, was condemned to hard labour for nine years for having gambled with the property of his clients and having ruined himself. M. Braconier is a member of ono of the most wealthy families in the capital, and every effort was made by offering to pay his debts to save him from disgrace, but it was too late.

During the last few days some experiments have taken place, under the superintendence of Mr. Samuda, of London, which were porktlYlAMett WESTMINSTER ELECTION. A meeting of electors for Westminster, who are the friends and supporters of Charles Lushington, Esq., one of the candi dates for the representation of that city in the ensuing Par liament, was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, yesterday evening, for the purpose of adopting the prelimi. nary measures necessary to ensure the election of that gen tleman. JosEPH Pat:Kul, Eq., having been called to the chair, observed that for many years pa<t it had been the practice of the Liberal constituency of the city of Westminster to initiate all election proceedings through the agency of the Westminster Reform Society. That association having had communicated to them that it was the intention of Mr. Leader to withdraw from the reptesentati,m of tho city at • the nest general election, they had submitted to several well-known public men of tried talent certain questions, with a view to ascertain the must tit and proper person to fill the vacancy which Mr. Leaders retire ment would occasion. They !Jai received answers from several gentlemen, and in the exercise of their judgment their choice had devolved upon fir. Charles Lush ington.—(Cheers.) It was known tliot a very recent loss had occurred in that gentleman's family, which prevented his attendance this evening; but a letter had been received from him explaining the cause of his absence, and requesting that he (the Chairman) would notify to the meeting the great disappointment he telt at being disabled from person ally acknowledging the kindnoss of those gentlemen who might attend as being friendly to his election. Mr. Lushing ton would, however, hold himself in readiness to appear at any future time when his presence. might be required.— (Cheers.) The association had called the present meeting, not for the purpose of monopolising the power of the electors, but to adopt the ieitiatory steps that were necessary to a more general meeting. Mr. GEESIN proposed the first resolution, namely—" That Charles Lushington, D , q., is a fit and proper person to re present the city of Westminster in Parliament." The association of which the chairman had spoken had existed upwards of thirty-five years, and it was well known that before any candidate was entertained by that society, it was necessary that he should pledge himself to act in accordance with the views of the whole of the Liberal constituency of the city of Westminster, and not come forwa-d, as it were, on his own account, without possessing the confidence of the • association, although he might happen to be a supporter of the general principles put forth by them. lie admitted that he had advocated the claim of Mr. George Thompson— (Hear, hear)—and he should have been proud to have seen that gentleman a candidate; but Mr. Thompson had been rejected by the Reform Society, and having himself acqui esced in that decision, rather than split the Lib era l i n t eres t in Westminster, which he would have done to an amazing extent, he (Mr. Geesin) had no hesitation in proposing that Mr. C. Lushington was a fit and proper person to be their re presentative.-, (Cheers.) They were aware that meetings had been held elsewhere in favour of another gentleman, whose name it was not worth while to mention ; but it should be observed that those meetings had not been attended by electors. Their resolutions, indeed, ran a we, the electors," but the party forming the meetings were no electors at all.— (Cheers and laughter.) The Reform Society had been com plained of, and they were accused of dictation ; but it was not an exclusive society. Every elector was at liberty to join it if he thought proper ; the charge of dictating, therefore, was unfounded. - Mr. Puoirr felt great pleasure in seconding the resolution, because he found from several interviews be had had with Mr. Lushington that that gentleman's political opinions were of a very liberal nature, and that he was one of those re formers who, in the olden times of Westminster, would have done great credit as the representative of that city.— (Cheers.) There were ten principal measures which Mr. Lushington was requested to give his opinion upon as to whether he concurred with the Liberal electors in regard to them or not, and his answer unequivocally was, that for many of them he had already voted in Parliament, and that for the whole of them he was prepared to vote on any occa sion.—(Cheers:) The points were-1. Vote by ballot. 2. Extension of the suffrage. 3. The repeal of the 27th clause itt the Reform Act, which made the payment of rates and taxes before a particular day necessary to the obtaining the fran chise. 4. Trienial Parliaments. 5. A more extensive reform of municipal corporations. 6. Repeal of the window and corn tax : the corn-tax was gone to the tomb of all the Capulets, and no doubt the window-tax would soon follow.—(Cheers.) 7. The abolition of all unmerited pensions. 8. The repeal of all taxes which impede the diffuison of knowledge. 9. The reform of the Church Establishment. And 10. The proper application of the funds known to exist in the countryufso,rintghf purposes of education. In all these measures Bi w r.l , ° ould have ton concurred; he therefore thought the meet ing _ be fo rmation of a no hesitation in adopting a proposition committee to conduct the electiono r t i :h . r ai bring it to a successful issue--(Ph r. gentleman, l i e ) u r :a u n t , t h an e a d George Thompson, in which that gentleman read a letter addressed to him ed ') declared r thorough Reformer, and tried inde- Lfreadiness to support Mr. a man of sound Lushington, who i m ud h g e ra d e es n pendence.

GAOL PERQUISITES.—It came out in the course of proceedings at Lambeth Police-court yesterday, that the Go vernor of Horsemonger-lane Gaol makes a perquisite by giv ing copies of the commitments of the prisoners to their friends, for which half-a-crown each is charged. THE NEW HOUSE Cr LORDS.—We understand that Mr. Barry, the architect of the new Houses of Parlia ments, has intimated to the Marquis of Lansdowne that the House of Lords will be completed for the reception of their Lordships after the Easter recess, with the exception of the fresco paintings and the statues in the niches. 'rue new Rouse of Commons is not expected to be ready for some time. The Victoria Hall, at the south end, and the Peers' Lobby, at the north end, and the corridors, are in a great state of forwardness. [ADVERTISEMENT.]— WONDERFUL EFFICACY OF HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PlLLs.—Nine months since Mr. Winburn, a respectable and well-known gentleman in Glaslough, county Monaghan, had an opening made front the hip to the knee, and a great deal of diseased flesh re moved. For three years he suffered night and day, although he consulted all the most skilful surgeons and physicians he could hear of; using baths, liniments, &c., without effect. He expected to be a cripple for life; yet by the use of Hol loway's Ointment and Pills he is now cured, and enabled to attend to business for the last six months as though nothing had happened.—Sold by all Druggists, and at "'raspier Establishment, 244, Strand, London, ev.
