This Company, which is Incorporated by Act of Parliament, with very extensive powers, has acquired the celebrated Seig niory of Beauharnois, in Canada, with Lands in the adjoining Townships of Godmanchester and Hinchinbrooke, the whole of which that now remains disposable, is hereby submitted to sale ot the following TEEMS AND CONDITIONS. The whole of the disposable lands of the Company in the Seigniory of Beauharnois, and the townships of Godmanchester, Ilinchinbroke, and Clifton, are hereby offered for selection by purchasers. This territory consists chiefly of country lands, and partly of lands which have been - reserved by the late prc.prietor in the Midst of settled districts. The whole of the Country lands, together with the 6,000 acres in Clifton, will be divided into sections of a hundred Canadian acres each. * _ _ . The whole`quantity of Country lands being about 120,000 acres, the number of sections will be about 1,2 00 . The number of these sections now submitted for sale (to be selected out of the whole, by purchasers, as hereinafter provided for) is 1,000. These 1,000 sections will comprise 100,000 acres of " avail able" lands—that is, exclusive of portions of an inferior quality. • The Reserved lands will be divided into 2,000 sections ; and two of these sections (to be selected by purchasers as herein after mentioned) will be attached to each Country land section of 100 acres. The sections of Reserved land will be of variable extent according to ch cumstances ; smaller at Beauharnois, Ellice town, and oilier places where the establishment of towns has begun er may be expected ; larger in the domain of Buisson and at Grand Ile, which have been reserved, on account of the eat beauty of the situations, as villa ground dependent on teat ; but the whole will be so divided and laid out by the Company, in Town, Village, and Villa lots, as to constitute 2 ,000 separate properties, of as nearly equal value as circum stances may admit; and all the 13 mills, together with all the houses and buildings the property of the Company, and all the finest sites for other mills, for villas, villages, and towns, &a., will be comprised in the Reserved lands laid open for selection by purchasers, Each property, therefore, will comprise a section of 100 acres of Country lands and two sections of Reserved lands. To the purchaser of each property the Company will deliver a treble land-order, which will entitle the holder thereof, or his agent, to select one Country land section of 100 acres and two sections of Reserved land, in the manner following : As soon as the whole of the land-orders shall be disposed of, 411 ' sooner, at the pleasure of the Company, public notice will oe given of a day when the purchasers of land-orders, or their agents, will be requested to meet in London for the purpose of drawing lots for priority of choice. The drawing of lots w ill take place in the presence of the birectors, and in such manner as they shall determine. Each holder of a treble land-order will draw three separate lots. for priority of choice ; one for else 100-acre section of land:(rye ands, and one for each of the two sections of Reserved : th number of choices as to the Country lands being 1 ,000, or one for the holder of each land-order ; anti as to the Reserved lands 2,000, or twe for the holder of each land-order. The land-orders will be awarded according to priority of ap plication at the offices of the Company in London ; and for this Purpose a registry of applications will be kept, which will open to the inspection of purchasers for one week before the draw ing of lots for priority of choice. In case the deposit should be Paid on more than the whole number of land-enders, the same will be returned in full to those applicants whom the above rule as to priority of application, may preclude from obtaining land orders. The price of each land-order is 2001. ; and a deposit of 201. must be paid to the Company's bankers before any application tan be registered. - The remainder of the purchase-money must be paid in full, on a day of which public notice will be given, in order to entitle purchasers to draw for priority of choice. In case of non-payment of the remainder of the purchase bkstney after due notice, the deposit will be forfeited. ). .The whole of the lands offered for selection will be surveyed, . 111 4 out, and mapped ; a n d th e m a p s w ill b e ex hibit e d a t Beau uartiols, to any holder of a land-order or his agent, during one anonth before the day (of which ample public notice will be given both in this country and in Canada) fixed for exercising the rights of choice ; and the choice of sections, according to the priority determined by lot in England, will be made at Beauharnois, either by principals or agents, in such manner as the Directors may determine, with a view to perfect fairness and the general convenience of purchasers. The choice will extend over the whole of the disposable lands of the Company, without any reserve, excepting only so much of the water privilege of the river St. Louis, at Beauharnois Town, as may be necessary for public convenience. As respects any land-order of which the holder may fail to attend, either by himself or his anent, for the purpose of 'choosing his section, the choice will be made in the order pre l'iously determined by lot, by an officer of the Company spe cially appointed for that purpose. The Company takes for itself one-tenth of the land-orders, and will thus contribute, in the same proportion as every pur chaser, to the fund derived from this sale; and will draw lots common with purchasers for priority of choice as to each of Oa one hundred land-orders separately. Out of the whole fund of 200,000/. thus raised, the Com tany hereby undertakes to dispose of the following sums in the following manner ; that is to say— st, 50,000/. as an investmsnt of capital on such works of Public communication within the Company's territory, as shall, is the opinion of the Directors, be most conducive to ;.e a e n increase i n the value of the lands now submitted for sale. • ° n'llY, 40,000/. in advances on loan to purchasers and other settlers on the Company's territory, as capital for ,the im •provement of land or construction of buildings ; such ad vances to be confined to persons investing a capital of their Olvn in s uc h operations. dIY, 30,000/. towards defraying the cost of emigration from the United Kingdom to the Company's territory, both of la , bonwers anti of capitalists intendirer to settle therets r ourthly, 10,000/., to be contributed in such manner as the Company shall direct, towards the emigration of ministers of religion anti school-masters, and the building of places of Worship lnelitl. T iel and schools, during the infancy of the new settle - Company also undertakes to defray all the expenses of sure t y, allotment, and conveyance, to the holder of each land order. The land -orders will be transferable at the pleasure of the holders. The h ouses , m ill s , an d ot h er b u ildi ngs w hi c h may f a ll to t h e , of holders of land-orders, will be delivered to the purchasers With the whole of their contents, including machinery, &e. The whole of the live stock, implements, and contents of b lacksmiths' and carpenters' shops at Beauharnois, will be put uh to sale by auction immediately after the choice of sections shall have taken place according to the priority determined by lot in England ; and the produce of such sale, deducting the expenses thereof, will be paid over to the holder of that land order, or his agent, who shall have obtained the last choice anion the 1,000 sections of country land ; unless such last Choice should fail to the Company by lot, on account of its own tenth of all the sections; in which case the produce of such sale shall be handed over to the holder of the last right of choice, saving the Company. The Company positively engages that in exorcising the rights of choice which may fall to its lot among the 2,000 sections of reserved lands, it will not select any sections on which a build ing of any description may bs erected, but will leave all such sections exclusively to the choice of holders of land-orders, other than those held by the Company. In the selection of emigrants of the labouring class, a pre ference will be given to such applicants as may be engaged to work for capitalists about to settle in the Company's territory, or as domestic servants in the families of settlers. Each purchaser of one or more land-orders will be entitled to claim from the Company, towards defraying the coot of emi gration for his family, or for a family to be nominated by him, IfiL out of every 1001. of his purchase-money, provided that such family settle on lands purchased from the Company. Iu distributing the sum of 40,0001. set apart for loans to emi fruits, a preference will be given to th ose app li cants w h o s h a ll 'tare purchased lands from the Company, or be occupiers or 'Managers of lands purchased from the Company by persons 'continuing to reside in this country ; though in every such case re proceedings of the Company must necessarily be governed 4lnquiry as to the character of the applicant and the nature of 4.. security that he may have to offer. 11l ease of any difference between the Company and the holder of any land-order, the same shall be referred to the At torney.. General of the Province of Lower Canada, or of the U nited Province of Canada for the time beirg , for his award, 'Which shall be final between the parties. And in case of any error of description, quantity, or otherwise, the same shall not htiate the agreement between the parties, but shall be deemed lathe r for compensation, as may be agreed upon, or if the par ties should not agree, according to the award of 'the said Attor 11°Y- General. a, All questions of title to this property having been settled as James the Company and the late proprietor by the Hon.

JAMES BRAIDLEY, Esq., in the Chair. _ _ Resolved, That a circular letter, dated the 25th ultimo, and signed by three of the Vestrymen of this parish, having been extensively promulgated, stating that upwards of 10,000/. had been spent in litigation by this Vestry, who thereby had caused an unne cessary increase in the poor-rate of lourpence in the pound, it is incumbent on thii Vestry to prove to their fellow rate-payers, and to the people of England at large, the foul, malignant, and calumnious nature of such charge. That on reference to the expenditure of the yens 1837, 1638, and 1839 respectively, it will be found that the progres sive advance in the price of provisions, and consequent pressure on the out-door poor, combined with the increase of the county-rate, the great additional expense incurred by the re pairs of the New-road, the payment of the Registrars of Births, &c., and the new building recently added to the workhouse, will amount in round numbers to upwards of 8,000/. bein g equal to a charge on the assessment of fourpence in the pound. That. this Vestry deeply regrets that any of its members should be found with hardihood or ignorance sufficient to make such unfounded statements to the prejudice of their colleagues, and that such conduct merits the gravest reprehension on the part of this Vestry, and the abhorrence of all good men. Resolved, That the foregoing resolution be inserted in three of the Morning Papers. JOHN IT GAHEY, Vestry Clerk. • PUBLICATIONS.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the ordinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, which delicacy forbids us to name, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whether we consider such person to hold the relation of a PARENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has bean the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose nacre echaract:r, is at once concentrated the twofold relation cf parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if uot relinquished. The, book will also be found to contain much valuable infor mation peculiarly interesting to those members of society who, from having indulged to excess in youth, find themselves un able to discharge those duties and functions which devolve on them in the ordinary course of life.

This Insti tution is closed, but as the Surgeon of it feels assured that there are hundreds suffering under the diseases, to the cute of which it was especially devoted, who would gladly avail them selves of his professional assistance; rather than place them selves under the charge of chemists, or, worse still, have recourse to any of the dangerous and inefficient nostrums daily ad vertised, he has made arrangements to see patients at his own residence, at the mere expense to the patient of the neces sary medicine. Thus persons of limited means have now on opportunity of securing for themselves a mode of treatment that, whilst it is based on experience, is regulated by the pecu liarities which their own cases and constitutions may require ; thereby freeing themselves from the absurdities and dangers that wait upon the employment of one kind of medicine for all forms of these diseases, without regard to these essential particulars.

LITERATURE. STEP B ll e .E ntlem, London, 11)8:103 Yeas. . " Stephen Dug ar d" i s a story more care f u lly p u t together than is th e case w i t h t h e genera li ty o f mo dern works of fiction. We give a brief synopsis of the plot. Sir Everton Azledine, a baronet of ancient de scent, who possesses a fine family estate on the borders of South Wales, has a son and two daughters ; the eldest of whom, Arabella, is on the eve of marriage with a young man, named Aston, a college friend of her brother, Cameron. A few days, however, before the nuptials are appointed to take place, the bridegroom receives a mysterious communication from his father, insisting on his breaking off all connexion with Miss Azledine ; and on hurrying to London for the purpose of ascertaining what can be the cause of such an un expected and peremptory command, he learns, to his infinite astonishment, that a claimant has appeared to the Azledine estates, in the person of the Baronet's nephew, Stephen Dugard, who, Sir Everton had always supposed, was the illegitimate son of his elder brother, from whom he inherits the property. But despite this disastrous intelligence, and his father's rigid orders, young Aston resolves to marry Arabella ; but on explaining to her the whole circumstances of the case, the high-minded girl refuses to accept his hand, until more auspicious times shall arise. Meantime, the law-suit instituted by Stephen Dugard—at the instigation of an old smuggler named Andrew Mayfield, who had become acquainted with all the facts of the youth's birth, and had taken care to keep him constantly in his eye—this law-suit is success ful ; the Baronet and his family are ejected from the estate ; and Stephen Dugard, now Sir Stephen Azledine, accompanied by his wife, the daughter of Mayfield, and a squad of Smugglers, in whose select so ciety he had spent several yeari of his life, takes Pos session of it. Inottue time, however, the former mal practices of the new Baronet and his friends transpire ; suspicion is roused against them ; and it is at length dis covered that they have not merely been free traders, but have committed divers robberies, together with one or two supplemental murders, by way of agreeable variety. They are consequently committed to prison —such of them at least as have not previously contrived to make their escape from Azledine Hall—and among the imprisoned are Andrew Mayfield and Stephen, the former of whom dies in gaol by the hand of one of his female confederates — an amiable crea ture, half shrew half tigress, who rejoices in the eupho nious name of Jennett Macblee ; while the latter is killed by the fall of some heavy bricks from an old chimney in the cell, at the moment when he is half way up it, on his way to the prison roof. Immediately on Sir Stephen's death becoming known, Sir Evcrton, as his next heir, returns with his family to the estate ; Arabella is married to Aston ; her brother to a young lady, Miss Caroline Bagot ; and all parties are left, at tho close of the third volume, in a state of supreme feli city. Such is a hasty summary of the chief incidents of a story which is told with uncommon tact and vigor, and only halts in those places where the author essays the sentimental. Mr. Mudford has clearly no idea of sentiment. His love passages—or what are intended to be such—are stiff, dull, and passionless. But he works up a scene of terror with an energy and earnestness that remind us of sonic of the closing chapters of Oliver Twist. One of his descriptions, that, we mean, of a murder committed at night on a wild Sussex heath, by a gang of smugglers, absolutely curdles the blood. The scenes, too, at the cave of the Black Rock, where the she-smuggler, Jennett Macblee, figures in a conspicuous manner, are, in their way, equally striking. Mr. Mud ford, however, has no fancy—no knowledge of the pic turesque. His scenes of guilt and terror are presented to us in all their naked deformity—in short, in as mat ter-of-fact a style as if they had been 80 . much evidence that had been taken down verbatim at a Coroner's In quest or an Old Bailey trial. We do not doubt for an instant of the success of Stephen Dugard. It is an ex cellent ad captandum talc; crowded with wild, startling incident, that goes to the very verge of probability with out trespassing beyond the boundary lino. A NEW CHURCH EXTENSION. We have a literature, a philosophy, a poetry, a school of painting and music, entirely independent of the " Church" (as we continue to call it). Nay, we have new churches and new priesthoods independent of the antique corporation that still claims, somewhat ab surdly, to be the Church. The scat of power is com pletely changed. We have public meetings in Free masons' Tavern, and other such unecclesiastical localities, where our fathers had couacils of Lateran and synods of Clermont ; we have the morning papers and debates, where they had sermons at St. Paul's Cross. 'rho change is immense in its bearings on our Ecclesiastical polity. Why, it is of immeasurably more moment to e reli gion, the real spiritual life and growth of us as a people, that the editors of newspapers should be honest, than that bishops should be orthodox. We could do without bishops and their orthodoxies, we could not do without editors and something of editorial honesty. It would be a far more efficient and genuine sort of Church Extension—(l put it merely by way of illus tration, without meaning to imply anything as to the feasibility or abstract desirableness of the thing)—to establish a weekly periodical in every town and village in the kingdom, and endow it so as to bring its cost within every man's reach, and place its editor above all temptation to cater to party interests, or popular preju dice and grossness,—this would be a far mere efficient and genuine extension of the nation's Church, and provision for the nation's spiritual wants, than any church-building and pastorabsuperintendence scheme. Now, this is precisely what our Church Extension ists cannot see, or will not sea. Their whole plan is conceived in the spirit of the past. They go on just as if we were still in the 14th century ; as if ail spi ritual culture and acquisition still centered in theology, and all theology in their own creed, and the whole moral destinies of the universe were embarked and treasured up in the united Churches of England and Ireland as by law established. Why, it is not so. I never again can be so. It would take a miracle to make it so ; and a succession of miracles daily to keep it so. The existing Episcopal Church of this country is not at the head of our moral civiliza tion, and never again can be. The real spiritual influ ence of this Church is a simple nullity, a zero, as re gards at least a full half of the nation ; and as re gards the other half—those who style themselves members of the Established Church—its influence as a Church is exceedingly limited ; embraces only a sec tion of the mind, rules but a very fraction of the inner world of thought and emotion. The Puseyites are al most the only class of people in this country that ma nifest a really and thoroughly Ecclesiastical structure of mind. So that this Church-Extensionism ; this enormous taxation of the people to build Episcopal Churches, and salary Episcopal clergymen, and teach the Episcopal creed, would be about the most enor mous waste of money—the most clumsy, futile, dispro portioned expenditure of national resource and effort, that could well be imagined. The people do not want more Church ; they do not really care about it. The agitation of the matter is all sectarian, super ficial, factitious ; it is noisy enough, but quite hollow, and ready to collapse, if it be just let alone ; it has no depth or root, rouses no popular enthusiasm, has not a single character or attribute of nationality.—llarwood's Lectures. FROG FOUND IN COAL.—On Wednesday morning as two colliers, George Ross and James Gardner, were in one of the rooms of the Old Muirfield pit, at Gargies ton, they found a living frog embedded in the solid seam of coal, at least twelve fathoms beneath the surface of the earth. The niche in which it had lived was perfectly smooth inside, of the exact shape of the frog, and without a crack or crevice to give admittance to air. The hind legs of the animal are at least a third longer than usual, the fora legs sh or t er , t h e toes longer and harder , and i ts g eneral colour is of a bronze shade. It leaped briskly about the moment that it was excavated from it narrow cell. How many centuries it has been shut out from light and air, and entombed in its dreary dormitory, it is impossible to say—certain it is, that although diminutive in in form. and with great brilliancy of eye, it has a most antedi luvian aspect.

C., Sze.—We regret to have to announce the death of the DEATH O F GENERAL SIR HENRY x t : above venerable general officer, which took place on Sunday last, at his residence in Wilton-crescent, at the advanced age of n l riety years. The deceased, who entered the army in Jan'n ary, 1769, as cornet, had distinguished throughouthims.inieellfit, u t_ the intermediate grades until he was made general in January, 1812, and lie was the oldest general officer in the army, with the exception of Sir James Duff and the Earl of Cathcart. The 1793, and wac present at the siege of Valenciennes, i deceased accompanied the brigade of Guards to at the action of Lovelies, and throughout all the earn' a nd of 1793 and 1794. In December, 1836, Sir Henry was ':nn demise.eolonel of the Hon. General G re e g n ii e n r e a l l it, ca w p h ie ich an b d el Sir Charles Doyle are spoken of as likely to succeed to tl . n. , vacant regiment. Her Majesty tile Queen, and his Royal Mull nesE; Prince Albert, are expected to leave 11 1,; , ... ilea in plain Palace on Monday next for Windsor Castle, where the Court will ere main until Friday or Saturday following. The Lord Chamber lain, the Earl of Uxbridge, issued cards on Tuesda for y . her Majesiy's command to a numerous and 'lilylii d . . istingin s had party of the leading Nobility, to partake of the festivities at the Castle for three days, Wednesday until Fridl. . HENRY ei:PnotiliaGbninOdaiTi.o,. GREVILLE-STREET FREE HOS PITAL. Yesterday the twelfth anniversary of this Institution was celebrated at the Freemason's Tavern. The Mar quis of Westminster was expected to take the chair, but was prevented by some unforseen accident. The absence of the Noble Lord was regretted by all the friends of the Institution, because he has, from its commencement, been one of its most ardent and most liberal supporters, and has contributed not a little to its success. Though lie was absent, however, his son was present, and, to the credit of the family, he dis played the same ardent interest in the success of one of the most useful and humane institutions in London. At half-past six Lord Robert Grosvenor took the chair, and was welcomed with great enthusiam. Among the company present were Alderman Harmer , Dr. Marsden, the founder of the Institution, Mr. Charles Pearson, and a great number of persons interested in the charity. At the entrance of the Chairman the gal.. lery was filled - with ladies, and when grace was said and the company took their seats, they retired to an excel lent collation which had been provided for them in an adjoining room. This is a vast improvement on the old system. Formerly it was the practice to admit ladies to the gallery to see the gentlemen dine, to hear the rattling of knives and forks, and to wonder at the rapidity with which husbands and brothers devoured the food placed before them. Last evening this barba rous nuisance was abated. The ladies were treated like their equals in every respect, and in one or two instances they justly had the superiority. When the-cloth was removed, the ladies entered the gallery, and were received with loud shouts of applause. The Nobly: CHAIRMAN then rose, and said—lt af fords me great pleasure to propose the first toast. After what has cecurred—after the reception of the ladies whom I now see before me, I am sure you will join with me in drinking the health of an illustrious indivi dual who is an honour to her sex.—(Great applause.) I propose " the health of her Majesty Queen Victoria." The toast was received with the warmest enthusiasm, the whole company rising and afterwards juining in the National Acithern. After the usual loyal toasts, Lord Robert Grosvenor proposed the great toast of the night, " Prosperity to the Grevillo-street Free Hospital." That institution had been established for twelve years, and it was diffe rent from all other medical charitable hospitals. All others required the fulfilmant of certain conditions. The Greville-stree. Hospital required only two conditions— disease and poverty.--(Great cheering.) Other hospi tals were constituted on a different principle ; the sub scribers to !these could send so many to the hospitals, but what was the bonet ? A person in distress, from disease or accident, was obliged to wait on a Governor, or a Director, or some other officer, none of whom pos sibly were at home ; and the consequence was, that, before all the ceremonies were gone through, the pa tient might be dead. The Institution which the com pany that evening met to celebrate, was of a very diffe rent description. The Directors received all, and at tended to them at once, and without fee or favour. The Noble Chairman concluded by proposing " Prospe rity to the Greville-street Hospital."—(Loud cheers.) Mr. HALSEWELL then rose, and proposed the Lord Mayor and Corporation of London. To that Corpora tion the hospital owed a great debt of gratitude. For ten years he had been a visiting magistrate of Middle sex, and he had therefore some opportunities of judging of the effects of the system. When he first was a magistrate, possibly a hundred and twenty unfortunate women were f oun d i n the prison affected by disease, an d latterly not m ore t h an ten were there. He believed the unfortunate b e i ngs were under the greatest obliga tions to this instit ut i on . He was delighted to state, that he believed the i nst i tut i on was above all fear o f backsliding, and that it must u l t i mately succeed. He would therefore give " Th e L or d M ayor and Corpora tion of London." Mr. Alderman HARMER, on rising to return thanks for the Corporation, was recei ve d with th e mos t enthu siastic applause, which continued for some minutes. When the cheering subsided, he said it afforded him the highest satisfaction,--he might say it was the proudest day of his life, to see the success of this charity, of which he was proud to say he was one of the founders. The Corporation of London had supported the charity because they believed it was be neficial to the afflicted and distressed ; and it was gra tifying to find that their support had not been without effect. After some other speeches, the SECRETARY read the following Report, which is highly creditable to the suppoi ters of this institution : It is peculiarly gratifying to the Committee of Management to meet the assembled Governors according to established usage on this occasion, because the Report which they have to submit of the state of the Charity, and the proceedings of the year, is altogether so satisfactory as to insure is a favourable receptidn. " At no period in the history of this most valuable. Ch arity has it exhibited a more flattering aspect than at the present time. The Auditors have examined the accounts from the Ist Jan., 1839, to the Ist Feb., 1810, from which there appears an increase in the funds of the Hospital of 7501. 6s. 11d. since the last year, after all the debts are paid ; and this, notwithstanding the greatly improved state of the wards, the additional number of patients which have been admitted into them, and the consequent amount of expenditure beyond that of the preceding year. The Committee regard this as a subject for congratulation, and venture to predict from it that, by persevering with one mind and purpose, the most sanguine expectations will ul timately be rcialisod. " The Committee have this year No announce the following splendid benefactions :—A legacy of 5001. from the late Mrs. Kidman, of Margate ; 1001. collected at St. Andrew's Church, Holborn, from a sermon preached by the Rev. Mr. Dale ; 1001. from the Marquis of West minster, and srjany other considerable sums, sufficient to call forth at this meeting our public acknowledgements, and an expression of the grateful sense we entertain of the charity of the benevolent donors. " In alluding to the increased prosperity of the Charity, the Committee cannot but attribute much of its success to the unremitting and indefatigable exertions of the Reve rend Secretary. . _ . The Conimitte.e have further to congratulate the Go vernors on the recent accession of her Most Gracious Ma jesty's name to the list of benefactors ; a consummation achieved by the favourable repreFentation made by the Marquis of Normanby to our beloved Queen and Patron, of the Charity's usefulness. The immensity of good which it is calculated to effect as it shall become known and patronised, struck the mind of this intelligent nobleman, whilst presiding at our festival, and instigated him to use ha best endeavours to bring it into more extensive opera tion. He has been pleased to accept our cordial thanks for his kind exentions, and to give his name, and that of his lady, as Vice- President and Vice- Patroness of the Charity. " The Committee advert with sincere regret to the los. of ono of the most distinguished Vice-Presidents of the Hos pital, the late Duke of Bedford, a nobleman whose great and influential name was never wanting on any public occa sion designed to advance the interests of this Charity. It is consolatory, however, that the noble name of Bedford is still retained as a subscriber and Vice- President ; and there have been added, during the year, those also of the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Westminster, Earl Fitz williatn, Lord Kinnaird, Major-General Sir H. Wheatley, and the Rev. Mr. Dale, as Vice-Presidents of the Hospital. " By the Medical Report it will be seen that 11,954 destitute sick and diseased persons have obtained relief from this Charity in the last year, and since its commence ment 72,617.. " Too much praise cannot be given to the medical officers of the establishment for the part they have taken in this matter, and the great skill and attention they have invariably evinced. It would •be invidious-, perhaps, to notice any one in particular, where all have been so usefully and zealously engaged. The Committee, cannot, however, refrain from directing the attention of the Gove. nor to the Senior Medical Officer and founder of the Charity, whose exertions have been so conspicuous as to deserve their warmest thanks. They express their gratitude generally to these gentlemen for the gratuitous services they have rendered the hospi al, at a great sum i fice of time and prsfes ional advantage. The extraordi nary benefits which have thus flowed to the community from this Hospital in a sanatory point of view, are too ap parent to need a eminent ; and when it is stated further that many unhappy females have been reclaimed by its instrumentality front vice and infamy, and restored either to their families or to the pursuits of industry, it is impos sible that the public approbation can be withheld from it. " The great publicity given of late to this Hospital having materially increased the number of wretched ap plicants for admission into the wards, the Committee deemed it imperative upon them to recommend the Go vernors to purchase the adjoining house to meet this pressing necessity—the result has been to place forty-two additional beds at the Hospital's disposal. From the immense encouragement hitherto experienced, the Com mittee rely with implicit confidence on the generosity of a sympathising public to supply all the adequate funds. " In conclusion, the Commitee hope and trust that the attention they have treen able to bestow 014 the affairs of the Charity, will meet with your approbation. They have introduced into the Hospital such improvements as, front time to time, have come recommended; they invite, and are always glad to receive, the suggestions of the Governors, towtt-rde enlarging as much as possible its sphere of utility, They see its noble principle gradually and exerting an irresistible influence over the expanding, public mind. They see this Hospital daily becoming more and more patronistl by tire first persons in the land ; and they argue from these auspicious circumstance 3 that the time cannot be very distant when prosperity and greatness shall rest upon it." A person then presented himself in front of the Chair man, and announced that an attempt had been made to a ssassinate the Queen and Prince Albert. At first he was regarded as a maniac, but on a paper being presented to the Chairman announcing the fact, the company, on hearing that her Majesty w as sa f e, rose and called out for l save the Queen, which was sung with the greatest enthusiasm. Lord Robert Grosvenor almost immediately left the chair, when Alderman Harmer took his place, and read, to the great satisfac tion of the company, from the Third Edition of The Sun, that her Majesty had escaped, and that the unfortunate maniac had been taken in custody. The subscriptior.s Were announced to be for the (lay 9611., with a donation of 2,000/. PROPOSED TREATY BETWEEN TURKEY AND GREECE. Treaty of Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation, con• eluded between his Majesty the King of Greece and the Sultan of the Ottomans, and signed by their re spectiVe Plenipotentiaries, Constantine Zott-rapho and Mebmed Iteschid Paella, Ministers of Foreign Af fairs to their regpeelive Sovereigns. Done at Con stantinople this 3d March, 1840. Art. 1. The subjects of the Grecian Kingdom and those of the Ottoman Empire are at liberty to trade with each other both by land and sea ; consequently they will be able to travel, sojourn, and hire magazines and houses for the purposes of commerce in their re spective States wherever this permission is granted to other friendly Powers. In either country they shall meet with protection and hospitality, and shall not suffer any inconvenience in the exercise of their com merce. Art. 2. Shall be considered as subjects of the Gre cian kingdom and Ottoman empire, viz., all nations of the respective States, or those who are recognised as such by the tenor of the• stipulations in the protocols which have passed between the three allied Powers and accepted by the two high contracting parties. Art. 8. The subjects of each of the contracting parties, whilst in the States of the other, shall be c:tempt from all conscription or military service whatsoever, either by land or sea, Aforeover',' they shall not pay any personal contribution whatsoever.

Trading vessels belonging to either of the two contracting parties, whether loaded with merchan dise or any other production whatsoever, have full and perfect liberty to navigate in safety under their own flag in the seas and waters of the two countries. They may enter freely into the gulfs, ports, bays, anchorages of either country, and there discharge a portion or the whole of their cargo, and re-import that which they have been unable to dispose of, and this without paving on this aforesaid merchandise any other dues than those which are paid by other friendly nations. Under no circumstances can they be forced to discharge the whole or a portion of their cargoes against their will, nor forced to dispose of them at a price which does not suit them to any Company or Corporation whatsoever, or to pur chase any ether which they do not approve of. More over, they shall riot be inconvenienced or annoyed under any circumstances or pretext. Subjects of either States shall be received in the States of the other on a footing of perfect reciprocity. Art. G. Grecian ships in all Ottoman ports, and Ot toman ships in Grecian ports, whether on entering or going out, shall not be subject to the inspection of any custom-house or port officers. In case the local autho rities should find it necessary to search a ship, they must invite the Consul or Vice-Consul of the jurisdiction to which such ship belongs to send one or his employes with them, in order that he may be present during the inspection ; and only in the event of the Consul's re fusal, or in the absence of a national agent, can this search be effected by the authority of the local autho rities alone, but always with all due consideration and order. Art. 7. What has been stipulated in the preceding article relative to searching the respective ships shall be equally applicable to ships in the Grecian trade, whether loaded or in ballast, passing through the White Sea into the Black Sea, or vice versa. But those, however, shall enjoy the same liberty and be subject to the same conditions as thoso of any other friendly Powers. Art. S. Ships belonging to subjects of either of the two contracting pat ties, whilst in the ports or anchor ages of the other, shall only be subject to the same dues as those of any other friendly Power. Art. 9. Should any Grecian or Ottoman ship be wrecked on the coast of either of these countries, all possible assistance shall be afforded, both for the pre servation of life and property, and for the preservation of such goods as have been saved, which, after salvage dues shall have been paid, shall be transmitted to the nearest Consul without being subject to any dues. Art. 10. Traders in either of the two countries shall meet with no hindrance or annoyance in their trading affairs. Art. I I. It has been agreed by the two contracting Powers that the coasting trade, consisting of indigenous or foreign productions, can be freely carried on by the ships and subjects of their respective countries, after they have agreed to submit to the same obligations and to pay the same dues as arc paid by other friendly nations. Art. 12.. Any merchants of one of the contracting Powers who shall purchase in the country of the other any merchandise, whether the production of the soil or of industry, for the purpose of re-selling it for the consumption of that country, shall pay, both at the pur chase and sale thereof, the same dues as are paid under analogous circumstances by the indigenous sub jects. Art. 13. The subjects of either Power can freely trade and traffic in the respective States in all merchan dise which is brought from foreign countries, on paying the same dues as are paid under analogous circumstan ces by the subjects of other friendly Powers. Art. 14. Merchants of the Grecian kingdom in Turkey, and Turkish merchants in Greece, whether purchasing or definitively embarking merchandise, whether the production of the soil, or of internal in dustry, destined for exportation, shall enjoy the same prerogatives, and be subject to the same dues, as the subjects of other friendly nations. Art. 15. They shall also enjoy the same prerogatives and pay the same dues as the subjects of other friendly nations in the importation into one or the other State of merchandise, whether the production of the soil or of the industry of either country, or of any merchandise whatsoever, the property of the subjects of either of the two contracting Powers, whether brought by land or by sea from other countries by their respective sub jects, either for the purpose of being sold in the inte rior, or of being transported into other countries. Art 16. Shall be excepted from the general rule stipu lated in the preceding article certain productions of the soil or industry of either State, which by rea son of the proximity and identity of the quality, would he likely to create a competition with the agricul ture and indigenous industry. Each of the high contracting parties reserves to itself the right of adopting, with regard to these articles, either imme diately or in future, such measures and restrictions as it will think fit, under the obligation to notify to the other the measure it has adopted one year previous to its ap plication. At the same time, it has been agreed that the commissaries who shall be appointed to make out the tariff shall each form a separate list of all such ar ticles, whether the production of the soil or of indi genous industry of the two countries, as are to be con sidered as belonging to the aforesaid category. Art. 17. The two high contracting Powers have re spectively agreed to appoint commissaries, ad hoc, to make out, as speedily as possible, on the above-men tioned basis, a general tariff for all merchandise either exported or imported by Grecian merchants, such as is usually in practice between the Sublime Porte and the other European Powers. Meanwhile the customs' duties on merchandise exported or imported by Grecian subjects shall be paid according to its value. Art. 18. In case of smuggling in the States of one of the contracting Powers by the subjects of the other, the smuggling parties shall be subject to the punishm e nt as laid down by law in the State where such offence is committed. Art. 19. Should it. happen that one of the contract ing Powers should be at war, the subjects of the other can continue their commercial relations with the other hostile country, excepting in the towns or ports block aded or besieged either by land or sea. But in no case shall they be permitted to trade in articles reputed con traband by war, or in any instruments fabricated for the purpose of warfare. Art. 20. It is agreed that no hostile ship can be armed or equipped in the ports or anchorages of ono or the other of the two contracting Powers. Art. 21. The two contracting Powers shall have the right of accrediting to their respective Courts, Mi nisters, or other diplomatic agents, such as Consuls or Vice-Consuls in the ports or towns of such States as they may judge necessary. The Consuls or Vice- Consuls duly appointed by their respective Sovereigns, cannot enter into their functions without the previous ap probation of the Government. in the States to which they are accredited. To this effect the n ecessary fir mans or ex equalurs w ill b e d e li ve red to them.lt is further agree d that the res p ec tive Consuls and Vice- Consuls cannot b e chosen from out of the subjects of the Sovereign to whose domains they are to be accre dited. Art. 22. The Ministers and other diplomatic agents, as well us the Consuls and Vice-Consuls of one or the other contracting Power, can in no case grant the flag or patent of their nation, nor give their protection to any ship which does net effectively belong to their re.- speetive c ountries. Shall be considered as Grecian or Turkish ships, All such as shall be navigated or owned Art. 23. It is formally stipulated that the subjects of one of the two contracting Powers cannot form pall of the crews in ships belonging to the other.

SINGULAR. AvFAIII, IN THE HOUSEHOLD OF THE DUKE OF ARGYLL. A Correspondent of the Herald gives the following statement on this subject It appears that th• fatly who lately lived in the noble family of Argyll, as Ro►er. ncss to the beautiful and amiable daughters of the Dub is a Swiss. Some time after the murder of L William Russell, the Lady Emma Campbell, wh• in bed with one of her sisters, was alarmed in Cie middle of the night by some person shaking her by the shoulder. She immediately awoke, and woe horror-stricken to find her governess, the Swiss% leaning over the bed, with a large knife or (Intone in her hand. The governess asked Lady Emma, in a manner betraying considerable agitation, on which side of the bed " her mamma the Ductless slept." Perceiving the frightful weapon which the un fortunate woman held in her hand, and, as may well be expected, exceedingly terrified, the Lady Emma Caere. bell, notwithstanding, with a presence of mind most ex traordinary in one so young, sprang out of bed, closod the bed-room door, and demanded the reason ()Path° conduct of the misguided governess. The Swiss replied in an angry tone, and peremptorily commanded the young lady to retire to rest, and not to disturb the household. Lady Emma Campbell, however, rekresest to do so, and went and placed her back to the door, in order to prevent the escape of the governess. The woma❑ thereupon used threats and entreatles, and ultimately tried to thrust Lady Emma from the door. In the midst of the scuffle one of the sons of the Duke of Argyll (the eldest, we believe) passed by the room on his way to his own chamber. Hearing a noise in hie sister's apartment, be tapped at the door, and was icas, mediately admitted by the Lady Emma. The gover ness was then found in a state of great excitement, and, after the Duke and Duchess hail been called in, she was removed to her own room, and locked up for the re mainder of the night, some person keeping watch at the door for the whole time. On the following morning • she was sent home to her friends. “SWING” IN AYRSHIRE AGAIN. We have to record another of those acts of incendi arism which have of late occurred in and near Kilmar nock. In common charity, and judging from appear ances, we did suppose that some, at least, of the bye past burnings were the result of most culpable careless ness or drunkenness, rather than of deliberate and diabolical wickedness ; but the almost periodical recur rence of the mischief, in positions, too, where we can only suppose that the deed was wilful, and the remark able circumstance of Saturday night being uniformly selected, when, from the numbers rambling about, notice is less likely to be attracted, has, we confess, made us pause, and reluctantly to conclude that there must be amongst us some agents of evil sys tematically at work, although hitheato shrouded in darkness and mystery. This we hope to have soon cleared up, as we have no doubt a sufficient reward will now be held out to bring out evidence and conviction. At midnight on Satur day last, some corn - stacks in the farm-yard of What riggs, near Riecarton, were observed by some neigh. hours to be on fire, whil s t t h e f armer, M r. Sm i th, an d his family weve asleep. The alarm was instantly given, people r.ipidly collected, and every effort was made to extinguish the 'flames, but with little success, for ia a short space of time two stacks of corn and one of straw were destroyed. The loss, we understand, is something approaching one hundred pounds. The property was not insur e d. M r .
