The Splendid Pantomime of Harlequin and St. George and the Dragon," is acknowledged to be one of the most successful ever produced. serious; as materially to enhance the responsibilities of our rollers. Under these perilous circumstances the indulgence of party animosities and political rivalry would be criminal and inhuman. And it was this consideration which induced her MAJESTY to confide these matters to the care of Parliament, "in the full conviction tbzt its discussions would be guided by an impartial spirit." As far as the preliminary night of discussion can be regarded as an augury of the dis position of our legislators, that impartial spirit pro mises to preside over the deliberations of the two Houses. _ Just published in 81>., price 205. boards , secon d edition .

By J. R. M'CULLOC 11, Esq. London: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans. Upon the advisability of an immediate relaxation_ of the restrictions still imposed upon the importation of provisions, there is little likelihood but that the dissentience of the Protectionists will give way. Expediency, however, peeps out in the very indica tion of their intention to yield. "If we are to allow the introduction of untaxed sugar into the distilleries," say they, " give our native agriculture compensation by repealing the malt-tax." Sly as ever—these plausi ble gentlemen ! What says Lord STANLEY, as the avowed leader of the Protectionists ? Why, he plainly expresses his conviction that " the agriculturists will not (appose the temporary removal of the 4s. duty." Sir U. PEEL is still more explicit in his approbation of the Ministerial proposition for opening the ports, for suspending the navigation laws, and for introducing molasses and sugar into the processes of brewing and distillation. "It is my intention," he says, "to give my cordial support to these measures." Upon the manner in which the Ministry bad dealt, during the vacation, with the evils arising from the dearth of food in Ire land the Right Hon. Baronet spoke in terms of com mendation. No one could comprehend more entirely the difficulties of legislation in that part of the United Kingdoms; and knowing the magnitude and abundance of those difficulties, he approved of the energetic, though inefficient, labours of the Administration. Even Lord STANLEY, in allud ing to the alterations introduced into the operation of the Public Works Act by the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland upon his Excellency's own responsibility, ob served that he was certain that neither in the Lords nor in the Commons would there be any hesitation in giving the Government an act of indemnity for thost laudable evasions of the law. We can readily understand that iron-headed obstinacy which prompted the eccentric Member for Limerick to interrupt the amicable proceedings of the debate upon the Royal Speech with an oratorical howl, indicative of the wilfulness and the waywardness of the Young Ire landers. Mr. WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN has such an insatiable appetite for notoriety, that the eclat of a " skrimmage " is preferable to the obscurity of a re spectable quiescence. If we may believe WILLIAM CARLETON and the like writers of fiction, the countrymen of Mr. O'BRIEN have a pleasant way of " promoting a disturbance," at Donnybrook and elsewhere, by trailing their coats in the dust, and threatening to crack the skull of whomsoever may presume to tread thereon. The lien. Member is sadly mistaken in looking upon Parliament as a kind of political Donnybrook. Other • wise the discussions upon the Address to the SOVE REIGN, in answer to the Speech from the Throne, (moved and seconded in the Upper House by Lords HATHERTON and CAREW, and in the Lower House by Mr. C. HOWARD and Mr. RICARDO) were satis factory from the majority of the sentiments they elicited. ANNUAL PREMIUM TO ASSURE £lOO. PROFESSOR OWEN'S HUNTERIAN LECTURES.

REMARKABLE CASE of RESTORATION. A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentleman residing at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from if arlestone siarket to Wey bred, where he then re sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair con tinued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bald as if his head had been shaved;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAft OIL, and it is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was used the growth recommenced, and be has now to boast of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL preserves and reproduces the Hair ; prevents it from falling off or turning Grey ; Changes Grey Hair to its Original Colour; frees it from Scurf and Dandriff, and makes it beautifully soft and curly. spurious u a r i i l o d u e s r t c u o a m implied" " 11 sanction t i t a h n e o t t i tie of Royalty` Departments,Matd with similar attempts at deception. of ,ILanids rbeyspteheetapbraperhieetmisors,thata2aod, C h A: S**SAR Government 0 BewarelL , ' s om ' all HAr:T:T:OeLNrAa-GARDEN EINICALOSSNDRONO and also to accord with the feelings of grateful re cognition naturally entertained towards him by the community at large, which, in common with the SOVEREIGN, has participated in the benefits at tendant upon the achievement, military, naval, or civil, that has been accomplished ; but it is a prin ciple which has had the desired effect of stimulating others to imitate the example that has been set, in order that they might attain to similar honours. This principle has been considered of such import ance, that the people; with mingled feelings of jealousy and gratitude, are not always content to permit its fruits to rest in, or emanate exclusively from, the Crown. Thus it is that, in addition to what has been conferred at the pleasure of the SOVEREIGN, m anifestations of popular approval are being con stantly exhibited in favour, and during the life time, of those who have done well to the State. These laudable testimonials are displayed in different forms, —monuments, subscriptions, public dinners, presents of value to be preserved as heir-looms, &c. But there are instances, where, by the rare union of great talents, high integrity, and noble personal prowess, the prerogatives of the people are ably sustained in opposition to a dangerous infringement of them by the servants of the Crown. In such cases, where a great evil has been averted, or a positive advantage secured, the English are ever ready, in some signifi cant manner, to evince their gratitude towards the champion of their just rights and privileges. Among these: the impartial administration of justice is held in the highest veneration. This sacred principle was unhappily very recently invaded, not intentionally, but in effect, by one of the highest functionaries of the law—the Lord Chief Baron—in the case of " GOLDICUTT V. BEAGIN." To the energy, talents, and unflinching valour of Mr. COCKBURN, Q.C., are we indebted that the stream of justice has been purified from the temporary taint it had received. Had he taken any other course than that of solemnly pro testing, in open court, against the intemperate lan guage of the Chief Baron, and immediately quitting his Lordship's presence, the ends of justice would have been substantially frustrated ; for had he de fended his client whilst charged with " insanity" by the judge, and the verdict been adverse tohis advocacy, a motion for a new trial would never have been granted. As it is, the Bench has been properly re 'buked, the honour and independence of the Bar man fully upheld, the rights of solicitors to adopt what legal line of defence they please in conjunction with their counsel fully maintained, and the prerogative of the people to the pure administration of justice firmly established, how grave soever may be the " indiscretion" of one of the principal judges in Westminster Hall. We believe and hope that Mr. Cocxnurth's admirable conduct will be testified to in a way that will cause him to look back with pride for the part he has taken ; and sure we are that he is well entitled to some signal proof of the heartfelt Irobation of every lover of justice.

The Cork Reporter of Saturday publishes the intelligence of the total wreck of the Sirius, Dublin and Cork steam packet, with a most calamitous loss of life. The following are the principal details of this melancholy occurrence : Between three and four o'clock this (Saturday) morning, the vessel having made an excellent passage from Dublin to the oiling of Cork harbour, struck, in a dense fog, on a reef of rocks in Ballycotton Bay, and instantly a scene of conster nation not to be described prevailed among the passengers. Captain Moffatt, the commander, then deemed it advisable to back the ship off the reef, and by much exertion, with the engines and otherwise, succeeded in doing so ; but they were only a very short time clear of the rocks when it became evident the vessel would not much longer re main afloat, as she was making water fast, and had received serious injuries in her bottom and sides. She was accordingly again turned towards the land, and very soon after began to strike on a ridge, called Smith's Rocks, about half a mile to the west of Ballycotton, with the certainty of going to pieces in a few hours. The total loss of the vessel being thus inevitable, the attention of all on board was directed to the preservation of the crew and passengers, and amidst the confusion and alarm that prevailed, the lite-boat, which is usually carried over the paddle-box, was attached to the davits and lowered, though unfortunately on the wrong side of the ship. This boat, we understand, was not equal to accommodate more than eight, but immediately she was launched twenty crowded into her, principally deck passengers, and before she was well clear of the steamer, melancholy to relate, she was swamped, and all in her met a watery grave save Capt. A. Cameron, of the Prince river steamer, who was a passenger from Dublin in the vessel. Meanwhile the steamer con tinued to thump heavily on the rocks, while the screams of alarm from the affrighted passengers, and the heavy surf breaking on her sides, and on the deck, rendered the scene one of awful danger and intense anxiety. Soon after the Coast-guard boat from Ballycotton station, under command of Mr. Coghlan, chief officer, came alongside, and the ship's boats having by this time been also launched, the remaining passengers were got into them, and safely landed, though with the loss of every portion of their luggage, &c. The extraordinary exertions of Captain Cameron, of the Prince (who was so providentially saved), in superintending and assisting the landing of the passengers, have been de scribed to us as beyond all praise. Every article that was washed ashore before the assist ance of military or police arrived was instantly carried off by the people, who continued to assemble in large numbers. A portion of the cabin plate and other portable articles of value were brought on shore in one of the boats, but soon became the booty of the count people, as did also such tbheelowngreicnkg.to the . passengers as they con tpteirtiopdrittao°l stlahilvegeglfaarsogtilleaccounts the ship was fast going to pieces, and left. dprobably after tide there will not be a vestige of her fivai ATEkt Al' LoNDON-fiti,D)ol-; TILLS DAY. 21 6 1 - 1, After 4.

The i prisoner was apprehended on Friday last by Mr. Inspect or Shackell, of the metropolitan " detective " police force, who was sent down at the instance of Sir George Grey, the Secre tary of State.

An important allegation was sustained, impugning the ac curacy of the calculations which the engineer of the line had made for ascertaining the levels. In point of fact it was proved by Mr. Blyth, the engineer of the memorialists' line, that the levels had not been accurately ascertained. Mr. Pitirr, the agent of the petitioners, reluctantly ad mitted that there was a discrepancy of two feet in the levels, but he urged the Examiner not to report the circumstance as a non-compliance, as it might prov e f a t a l to th e Bill. Besides the point was raised by a livid comp an y, an d no private individual could he injured by the omission. The EXAMINER took time to consider the point.

It must be conceded that matters at present wear but an indifferent aspect, and that there are plenty willing, for interested pur poses, to exaggerate the extent of our difficulties, instead of looking matters calmly in the face, and endeavouring to al lay apprehension.

This was the petition of a trustee to the bankrupts, praying for an order in reference to certain moneys in his hands. The bankrupts were joined in the firm of Gaskell and Ridgway, who carried on business at Pernambuco, and shortly after the fiat was issued, a meeting of their creditors was held at Manchester, and two trustees were appointed. In the interim, some specie, which had been consigned by the partners at Pernambuco, who were solvent, was seized at Liverpool, but subsequently they paid the amount of the im port duty and sold the goods. Payments were then made to some of the creditors, but a misunderstanding had arisen in reference to this duty which had been paid, the consignors contending that it should be returned to them. His HONOUR said it was difficult to come to a correct judgment on the case without knowing the state of the ac counts between all the parties; but as they were agreed in desiring him to make an order, he would direct that the money iu the hands of the trustee should be paid to the assignees, under the fiat of one of the partners (Johnson) without prejudice to the demand of the deceased. 4 7 pm. 4 pm. •. 4 8 pm.

These Pills are a pure extract of camomile flowers, prepared by a peculiar pi ocess, by which all the medicinal pro , erties of rather more than one ounce of the flowers are concentrated into four moderate. sized pills, They are mild in operation, and have proved wonder fully successful in removing every sympton of indigestion, sick head ache, loss of appetite, giddiness, heartburn, costiveness, eruptions of the skin, and all complaints arising from a disordered state of the digestive organs ; they require no alteration of diet, and their opera tions will be found so beneficial in giving tone to the stomach, regu lating the bowels, and in promoting a healthy habit, as fully to coh vince all who take them of their great utility. Per. ons who have suffered from indigestion for several years, have, by their use, in a few weeks perfectly recovered, which is a convincing proof that in the smallest compass is contained the largest quantity of the tonic principle of so peculiar a nature as to pervade the whole system, through which it diffuses health and strength.

The Court was engaged to-day with the demurrer paper, in which there was no case brought under the consideration of their Lordships of any interest, except to the parties concerned. SECONDARIES'--(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) PALMER V. JAMES. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 31. 10s. for a quarter's rent. The defendant lives in Canal-place, Camberwell, and held the house under an agreement, and pleaded that he was not indebted. The agreement was proved, and when Mr. MOHAN who appeared as counsel for the defendant, examined it, he said he could not sustain the defence. The agreement was not stamped, and it appeared that the defendant relied on the terms as requiring no stamp. RUSSELL AND WiICOIT V. MOODY. The plaintiffs in this action are the successors to the well known Mr. Warren, the blacking merchant, in the Strand; the defendant is a grocer at Castle Carey, Somersetshire. The action was brought to recover the value of twenty half-boxes of blacking, alleged to have been supplied by the defendant's order. Mr. THOMAS called the plaintiff's traveller, who spoke to obtaining the order in the usual course, and the transmission of the goods per order. Mr. PARRY appeared for the defendant, and cross-examined the witness, with an endeavour to show that only six boxes had been ordered, and that the goods had been returned, but he did not elicit any answers to bear out the defence, and submitted to a verdict. • WEST V. KEASLEY. This was an action to recover the value of coals supplied to defendant, who pleaded in abatement that he was not solely liable, but that at the time of the goods being deli vered other persons were in partnership with him. The case was not completed, depending on the question as to when the partnership terminated, and was not of public im portance. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) THE: FLORES EXFEDITION.—IN RE 'WILCOX SLEIGH: - This insolvent, who described himself as of Somerset-street, Portman-square, a Captain in the naval service of Spain, came up this day for his interim order. The insolvent's name has lately been prominently brolight bofore the public in connexion with the Flores expedition." His debts amounted to 370/. ; property "nothing." • He was supported by Mr. Buchanan, solicitor, of Basing hall-street, and opposed on behalf of Mrs. Cumberland, the landlady of a furnished house occupied by him in Brompton row, Brompton, for which he paid a rent of 1201. a year. He underwent a strict examination as to his means of payment at the time he took the house. He :aid he had savedA2oney from his services in Spain and Portugal, and also as Assistant- Commissioner of Police at Manchester, and expectetfriC re api pontment from the Hoinc-office. The CommissioNEß—How came you to give up the ap pointment? Captain Sleigh—l did not resign; the appoint ment depended on an Act of Parliament which existed only for three years, being passed for the suppression of the dis turbances in the nut th. Ile had also received 1001. from Sir J. Kirkland, an advance on his patent for a sea barrier and breakwater. He had made a proposition to bis creditors to avoid these proceedings. The COMMISSIONER —W hat proposition can you make now? —I cannot make any at present, persecution has pre vented me. The insolvent admitted that " hope" was on the " Home office," an " appointment" under the British Government, and his expectation under the " Flores Expedition"; and His HONOUR did not consider there had been any miscon duct on the part of the insolvent to prevent a day for the final order, the appointment of assignee being adjourned, the opposing creditor might have in the interim the opportunity of obtaining full information. Interim order granted. TEMPLEMORE AND NENAGH RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) The first general meeting of this company was held at their office, Gresham Rooms, Gresham-street. W. R. COLLET, Esq.,l\ Id.P., took the chair shortly after one o'clock, and after the advertisement had been read, said the circumstances under which this meeting had been called were not at all of a gratifying description; but whenhe stated what had taken place since they had obtained their Act of Parliament, he had no doubt that they would feel satisfied that the directors had done their duty. The report which would be read to them explained the particular reasons why the directors had refrained from prosecuting the line. The principal reason was, that the Great Southern and Western. Railway, of which he was a director, had hesitated to com plete the arrangement, and the promise which they had for merly made,namely, that they would render this company their assistance either by the advance of money or by leasing the line. That company found, however, that they had now so much to do, amid the distressing circumstances of the country, to open their own line to Cork, and the lea 4A g . gentry of Tipperary had felt themselves compelled to e. wa: 2 __ to the hold the advancement of money for the same reae r oli used - Lli: directors, therefore, in these- circututie:, er all tbe proceed:further, and determined t however. that this was the shareholder& He thought, b o ec then beendeposits as were the law expenses, notwith f Parliament which had yet ob t a i ne d; liabi lities of the company, and top cheapest Act o andieg that they had adouble contest to fight in the Ctmaimittee, and he was proud of it, just that the engineering was low, it might show how unnecessary heavy expenses were. He said the line, of twenty-seven miles in length, had been surveyed, and coat, together with law expenses ad• vertising, &c., 6, 11 6/. 9s. 7d., which in c l u d e d all the liabi lities of the company. This u hayf . - gbeen paid off left them with a balance in hand of 6,0671. 2s. 6d., or 15s. 9d. a share, which had been returned to the shareholders. The Hon. Gentleman then enlargedthe superior prospects of the company, whose line would be greatly enhanced in value by the opening of the line from Dublin to Templemore, Passing, as it did, through a rich agricultural and mineral district. He said the directors hoped to be con tinned in office still further, with the command of 3001. per annum, in order that they might continue the negotiations of Government. As to the intentions of Government, he would not, and indeed could not, speak with confidence, but it had been stated last night in the House that they would lay out money only on reproductive works, and be hoped th ere f r om tha t Goy eminent might be induced to advance one-halt the capital, and then, no doubt, the shareholders would advance the other. The report was then read and adopted. The directors, auditors, and secretary were re-appointed, and, after thanks to the chairman, the meeting broke up. 3% 2% 22% 13% 4% 1 % 36U --__------,__ LLOYJ).
