The effect of the announce ment yesterday of the failure of the Royal Bank of Liverpool was not fully .developed on the Stock Exchange when the alarming report of another bank failure, supposed to have taken place in the same town; became current, and Consols, which opened for the account at the price of 80, at once dropped to 79i. From this they rallied to 801, and, after relapsing to 79i, eventually stood in the official lists at 801. Sub sequently to the close of the regular business of the house, the market again rallied to 80k, owing to the report of a deputation from Liverpool, headed by the Mayor, having gone up to Downing. street, in order to lay before Lord John Russell a representation re specting the unprecedented condition of the trade and manufactures of the country, and to demand from him the requisite relief. What measure may be sug gested as likely to prove effective has not been made known, but it is thought that an issue by the Bank of England of paper equal in amount to the rest, or reserved fund of the corporation, would be recom mended. Exchequer-bills left off at 335. to 28s. dis. At a late hour of the day inquiry was made at the house of agency of one of the Liverpool banks, the rumour of the failure of which was pretty general, as to the truth of the statement, and the fact of its stoppage was distinctly denied. The usual Liverpool correspondence of the morning will, notwithstanding, be looked to with deep interest. The following has been addressed to us concerning the 'suspended dividends of the Spanish Indemnity Bonds : PUBLIC MEETING TO RELIEVE THE DISTRESSED OPERATIVES. On Monday a public meeting of the inhabitants of Warrington was. held at the Music Hall, Market place, to take into consideration the present distressed condition of the operatives, and to devise means for rendering them assistance. The meeting was ca led by the mayOr (Mr. W. Beaumont), in compliance with a requisition signed by a number of the most respectable inhabitants of the town. The hall was crowded to excess, and there could not have been fewer than from 800 to 900 persons present. The Mayor was called to the chair. Mr. J. W. PATTEN, M.P., moved the following resolution That in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable that relief should be given to the.unem ployed operatives ' and it should, so far as practicable, be administered by the board of guardians, under the out-door labour test order at present in operation, provided means can be devised of finding such labour as the guardians would be authorised by law to em ploy the paupers upon." The resolution was seconded in the most cordial manner by Captain CLARE, and carried unanimously. Mr. GILBERT GREENALL, M.P., after complimenting the Mayor for the readiness he had shown to comply with the wishes of the inhabitants on so important an occasion, said 'he could not but deplore the heavy suffering which had fallen upon them, a calamity which must affect.all parties more or less ; ithad not been brought on by any act of their own, by a want of foresight or prudence, or by any imprudence ; and though it was one of a painful character, they must endeavour, by the means at their disposal, to admi nister that remedy which, in their judgment, should appear to be the best. He read the resolution which had been put into his hands :—" That, as it seems there are many destitute persons who will not apply to the board of guardians for relief, it is desirable that a subscription be opened for extending relief to such persons, either by finding them employment, giving food, opening industrial schools, or otherwise, as might be suggested; and that such private subscription should not be given except in special cases, and at the discretion of the committee, to any person in receipt of parochial relief." Mr. PERRIN seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. A committee was then appointed on the motion of Mr. M'Minnis, seconded by Mr. J. Stubbs, to solicit subscriptions, co-operate with the board of guardians, in procuring labour, superintending the labour of the persons to be set to work by them, to visit persons applying for relief, and generally to carry out the views which had been expressed in the resolutions. Mr. EDWARD WEST considered that whatever was done would not be effectual, unless the operatives could be employed in reproductive labour, and he therefore moved that a committee be appointed for renting land, and employing the operatives upon it ; and that such committee have power to borrow money from parties on the security of the crops to be produced. Mr. J. W. PATTEN thought the subject one of vast importance, but such as could not be considered at a meeting like the present. Mr. PERRIN said that, as one of the committee, the matter should have his best attention. APUBLIC MEETING of the Tradesmen and Inhabitants of Westminster will be held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, To-Moanow (Thursday) Evening, Oct. 21,40 take into consideration the late decision of the Judge of the Westminster County Court, in the Cause of "LORD BURY v. CLARK," which condemns tradesmen to be insulted in their own shops without redress; alsa to tike such proceedings thereon as may be deemed necessary. CHARLES LUSIIINGTON, Esq., M.P., will take the Chair at Seven o'clock pre-isely. J. Wyld, Esq., M.P., and other Influential gentlemen will attend. PUBLICATIONS. MONEY-MARKET and CITY NEWS• CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium of gold at Paris is 13 per mine, which, at the . English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10: 1 -d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.47, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.75, it follows that gold is 1.09 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 438 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 175.101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.111 ; and the exchange at Ham burgh on London, at short being 13 13, it follows that gold is 0.68 per cent. dearer in London than in llamburgh. The fluctuations in the English Funds have again been violent to day, but the market has closed at a slight improvement upon its opeUing prices, - which during the past week or two has been an unusual event. The first quotation of Consols for money was 79 to 4 f whence they declined to 784. sudden re -action then took place to 79k, but this was not maintained, and they went back to 79, again advancing, however, before the eose of business to 791 to f. For the account they began at 791 to 8 0 , which was a slight decline upon the final prices of yesterday, and after receding to 79k, they recovered to 80-. At that time, however, a very general re port of the stoppage of anoth e r Liverpool bank depressed the market again t o 79k , b u t this alarm having proved groundless, a r i se t o 80'4, Which was the last quotation, took place. Bank stock left off 178 to 182 ; Reduced Three per Cents. (some con iiderable purchases of which for the account were made during the day by a leading broker), 78 to I; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 791 to ; Long, Annuities, 71 to 8; India Stock, 221 t0'225 ; India Bonds, 50s. to 40s. dis. ; and Exchequer-bills, 355. to 30s. dis. Money from day t o day in. the Stock- Exchange was at one time in demand, -but at the close of business the rate was not higher than .6 per cent. At the Bank and out of dunrs also there was on the whole less urgency. In the foreign exchanges to-day the rates for Hamburgh, Trieste, and Vienna were higher, but those for Holland, Belgium, and France remained about the same. A rather better feeling than that which has recently appeared to exist was shown as to the taking of bills. Gold to the amount of about 150,0001., chiefly from Paris, is understood to have been received to-day at the Bank. Advices received this morning quote the rate of discount at Hamburgh 6to 4 per cent. At Antwerp it is 5 to I per cent., and at Marseilles it is " easy at 3. Nothing appears to have transpired to throw more light upon the circumstances connected with the stop page of the Royal Bank of Liverpool. The letters received this morning, however, mention that the de posit accounts of the bank amount to not less than half a million, and they also tend to strengthen the report that to one house alone uncovered advances have been made to the amount of 430,0001, iin aidi tion to a further sum of 200,0001. advanced to them in discounts of the paper of another individual firm. No other failures, it appears,have yet been announced. TO-MORROW (THURSDAY), October 21, will be published, Price 2s. Gd., • FHE HEART AND THE WORLD. A Play, in Five Acts.

The attention of Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance Company of London, is particularly called to the Half-Credit Scales of Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de clared at the next investigation of the Equitable Assurance Company's . affairs, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present unnual payment of one half the rates generally charged by other companies. In the event of death the stun insured will be paid, after deduction of the other half of the rates. Should the life insured survive the decla ration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may be due thereon ; or, in the event of the party being at that time in bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of the age as when first accept.d.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which eitve.rs the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their a gift, ttendant which whe disap- Po i n t men t s . Excesses are a lwa y s injurious ; te n used in moderation is fraught with advantage, isecomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury 10 the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on The mature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilateame, , axe productive of greater severity of misery to the human fr than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the htnatomY and Physiology' of the Peproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the hsh oealth, arid of the physical capab ilities of which every man uld be possessed, it unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering Irom their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap- INYin to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so It'eqmently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reacts of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking !or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he fagots that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sygipattiy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelli,ent and practical physician, and to the Medical man who can show by his posse sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is emitted to esteem and respect in his proles ,io x, nal pursuits, the utmost orelil e nce should be extended. Dr. .MERT has obtained the highest medica l honours, as his diplomas testify, r and the great extent of his practi ce for many years is a 'guarantee for his prof,ssional experienee, which ha s reference almost '° l elY to the treatment of these diseases.

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85, are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im possitility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or Rue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the Inge- Moos and effective Ramoueur machine has been invented. This invention consists of four brushes forraing a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with universal spring joints, capable of taming even a right angle and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are beat demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in eontinuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermyn-street, St. James's ; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s , brokers, 7, lairchin-lane ; at W.

ALBERT, M.D., a Member of the Univer sity of Paris, Professor of Pharmacy, Apothecary to the Hospitals of Paris, Professor of Medicine, and honoured with several Medals and national rewards. No. 21, Rue liontorgeuil, Paris. Numberless and well-authenicated cases which hitherto had been considered as incurable by the Faculty, anti which in a short time have given way under this treatment, are most unequivocal proofs of its superiority over every other means as yet employed. It was for a long period of time a desideratum to discover a mode of cure adopted to all constitutions, and which should be free faun the bane ful effects of mercury. We are now arrived at the solution of this problem by the discovery of a mode of treatment at once simple and easy, and which, without any degree of exaggeration, we can affirm to be infallible in the cure of all secret maladies, however inveterate or of long standing. The method of cure, according to Dr. Albert, is economical and easy, either at home or on a journey, causing not the slightest derangement to the general health, and safe in all seasons and in all climates. Sold by E. W. Wilcox, 336, Oxford-street; T. Miles, Gracechurch street ; and by all the principal Chemists in London. A Treatise is enclosed with the Medic ine. A It g I A G E. 31 One half the world are desolately single, and the oilier supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret on comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—The por tion of this railway which is completed, namely from Chester to Conway (about 45 miles) will, we under stand, be formally opened on the Ist December next. The trip which the directors and officials took over the line on Thursday last, was considered highly satisfactory. The works are substantially con structed, and the permanent way is well consolidated. Much interest was felt by the excursionists in pass ing through the tunnels under the great mountains Penmaen Bach and Penmaen Maur. Between these two mountains the railway runs for a portion of its length upon a sea wall which has been so constructed as thoroughly to resist the action of the swell from the channel. QUADRUPLE RAILS ON THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY.—After much discussion in the board, during which there was considerable opposi tion to the measure, it has finally been resolved by the directors of the London and North-Western Railway that quadruple rails shall be laid down upon their line between Camden-town and Watford, eigh teen miles down the line. The time, however, for the commencement of these new, and as they appear to us unnecessary works, has been postponed indefi nitely. Indeed the directors, although they have finally determined upon the proposed addition being made, have at the same time wisely resolved that the works shall not commence until the money market as sumes a more encouraging aspect. The two engineers, Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Locke, were both decidedly in favour of the proposed addition to the existing rails, but we have not heard how they propose to pass the tunnels, which are barely sufficient for the four rails at present laid down. During the discussion which took place relative to the adopticn of the quadruple rails, some of the parties recommended that instead of quadruple rails being laid down to Wat ford, a new line of railway should be made from the Tring branch of the Buckinghamshire railway down to Camden Town, it being argued by those who put forward this view, that such a new line would not cost more, if indeed it cost so much as doubling the line to Watford, while the advantage would be gained of accommodating an entirely new and populous dis trict, namely, that which lies midway between the London and North-Western and the Great Western Railways. The scheme, however, for the quadruple rails, as we have said, was adopted, though not una nimously, nor without some very lengthy and occa sionally warm discussion. SYSTON AND PETERBOROUGH RAILWAY.—This railway, the contractors for which had great difficul ties to contend with but a short time since, is now in a state of rapid advancement. The embankment through Lord llarborough's park has been completed, and is ready for " ballast ;" the cutting through Mans and Gale-hill are through, and are of great depth and length. The temporary pile bridges over the Oakham Canal will be pulled down during this month, and the canal will be filled up where the line crosses. Three engines are already upon the line for the purpose of removing ballast from Freeby-hill to its destination.—Leicester Mercury. PERSONAL GRACES.—The countenance is rendered additionally pleasing by the well-arranged curl, the braided plait, or the flowing tress. In dressing the hair, nothing can equal the uff,ct of ]Lowland's Macassar Oil, on either natural or artificial hair, rendering it so admirably soft that it will lie in any direction, producing beautifully flowing curls, and, by the transcendent lustre it imparts, rendering the 110,10-dress truly enchainincr. Rowland's Kalydor is a preparation of unparalleled " efficiency in improving and beautifying the skin and complexion, preserving them from every vicis , i , nde of the weather; and Rowand's Odonto. or Pearl Dentifrice, is alike invaluable for its beautifying and preservative effects on the teeth and gums. Caution—lt is mcsssary to see that the word " Rowland's" precedes the name of tho article on the wrapper of each, as spurious imitations are abroad. [ADVERTISEMENT.] DEBILITATED CONSTITU TIONS, DISORDERED LIVER, BILE, AND INDIGESTION, CURED BY Hom.owAy's Pru.s.—The good effects pro-. paced by this salutary medicine are really extraordinary, and speak volumes in favour of its excellence. in the cure of impaired digestion, bik, diseases of the liver and chest. The benefi's derived from the use of Holloway's pills in these cfunplaints are permanent, as the whole system is completely renovated, by inducing a healthy action of the liver, strengthening the organs of digestion, and promoting a free respiration. Persons ruff,,ring from any of these disorders should immediately have recourse to this established remedy, to insure a safe, certain, and speedy cure. Sold by all vendors of medicines; and at I'ro fessor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. fully tn:naged during the past two years, and that there is a general disposition to believe in the safety of its affairs. It appears also from these advices that " several" deputations from public bodies, in addition to the one headed by the Mayor, have left for Lon don for the purpose of communicating with the Government. Of course, in the present state of things, business in the cotton-market is extremely dull, a decline of id. to id. per pound having taken place from Friday's rates. The corn-market is also lower. _ Reports were in current circulation to-day of the suspension of two other Liverpool banks, but con cerning one of them an unequivocal contradiction was given, while, as regards the other, the circum stances which transpired respecting it were not such, in the absence of information from Liverpool, as to justify in any way the assumption of its having stopped. It appears that the capital of the Royal Bank is larger than the amount (600,0001.) stated yesterday, an increase having been made to it by the issue of 2,000 additional shares of 1001. each, one•half of which were paid up, or appointed to be paid up, on the Ist instant, the remainder to be paid on the Ist of December. This issue, it is understood, was made a few months back, about the time when, the panic of April and the deputation that then waited upon the Government having been forgotten, speculation had again resumed so much confidence in that town as to cause the prices of railway shares of all descriptions to advance 30 or 40 per cent. in the course of a single week. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Thomas, Son, and Lefevre was held to- day, Mr. Bonamy Dobree in the chair, at which the following statement was submitted : DR. £ s. d. •• . ... ... ... 55,751 2 5 To sundry creditors To acceptances, viz.:— On account of De Jersey & Co. ...

On Sunday last another important meeting of delegates connected with the Cotton-spinners associa tion was held at Alanellvster, to receive the decision of each district in reference to a general cessation from work for a short period in all the manufactur ing towns. The following places were represented :—Ashton under-Lyne, Bolton, Manchester, Blackburn, Pres ton, Enfield, Burnley, Chorley, Dukinfield, Hey wood, Mosley, Oldham, Shaw Chapel, Stockport, and the central committee. The subject about which they had met was fully discussed, and ultimately the following resolutions were agreed to : Ist. " That deputations be appointed to wait upon all the masters in Ashton-under-Lyne who have pro posed a reduction of wages, to endeavour to prevail upon them to withdraw the same ; and that if the whole of them do not agree to the request, each and every district to cease labour on the 21st of October." 2d. " That each district where strikes at present exist, appoint a deputation to wait on their employers and request of them to give up the contest, and allow the men their former list." Several of the delegates suggested the propriety of sending a deputation to London, for the purpose of laying before her Majesty's Ministers the great pri vations and sufferings of the operatives in the manu facturing districts. It was resolved " That a memorial be drawn up detailing particulars as to the position of the manu facturing population, and requesting that some steps may be taken to alleviate their present sufferings." It was also resolved " That the deputation be ap pointed from Manchester, Bolton, Ashton, and Oldham." A committee was appointed to draw up the me morial, and they were instructed to forward a com munication to Lord John Russell, informing him that a deputation had been appointed, who would feel obliged by their being acquainted when they could be favoured with an interview.—The meeting then separated.— Liverpool Mercury. DISTRESSING SUlClDE.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was taken before Mr. William Baker, at the Monmouth Arms, Singleton-street, Hoxton, on the body of William Rawlinson, aged 17 years, who committed suicide by swallowing a large quantity of oil of bitter almonds under the following distressing circumstances: — It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was a lawyer's clerk, and resided with his parents at No. 44, Singleton-street. He had been for some 'considerable time studying chemical works and other philosophical matters. lie was in the habit of locking himself up in his room for the purpose of preventing his friends molesting him. He had made several experiments, but, in consequence of the frequent loud reports and explo sions, his father threatened to destroy all his books. He was discharged from his situation on Saturday, the 9th instant, in consequence of his inattention to busi ness, and he was often remonstrated with by his em ployer, Mr. Wyatt, a solicitor, in Chancery-lane. His mind always appeared to be occupied by his studies, and he seldom addressed way person except in monosyllables. He latterly appeared very cheerful, and on Saturday last he retired to rest as usual with his younger brother. About one o'clock on the following morning his brother was alarmed by his attempting to jump out of bed. The deceased then fell back on the bed and groaned very heavily. Mr. Young, a surgeon, was sent for, who at.ended immediately, and found the deceased quite dead. He smelt strongly of prussic acid, and the sur• geon discovered two small bottles in the bed-clothes, and one also on the table; which had contained oil of bitter almonds. The jury returned a verdict of—" Temporary insanity." PARISH OF ST. PANCRAS.—Yesterday a very fully attended meeting of the directors and guardians of the above parish, was held in the vestry-room adjoining the workhouse, Mr. B. Wright in the chair. Mr. Howarth, the chairman of the committee lately appointed to con sider the dietary of the workhouse, read a report to the following effect:—" The committee have carefully con • sidered the matter, and with respect to the dietary of the workhouse, are of opinion that several alterations in h. should be adopted, by which means three regular meals per day would be secured to the inmates. By the pro posed dietary some deductions would be made from the present dietary table, but some very important, though not expensive, additions were proposed to be made, and they were such as were calculated to increase the nutri ment and promote the content of She inmates. And the committee was also of opinion that if the dietary, as suggested, was adopted, the inmates would not require any additional food, rind they therefore recommend that as soon as the new dietary be adopted, the sale of pro vhions in the workhouse be wholly prohibited, and no uncooked food of any sort be permitted to be brought into the house by the inmates or their friends." On the motion for the reception of the above report, a v.- ry long discussion ensued, during which Dr. Bermingham de nounced the inefficiency of the dietary, stating that even in its increased state it was surpassed in union work houses and prisons. Eventually the report was received, and was ordered to be printed and circulated amongst the members of the board, who are to be specially sum moned to take it into c onsideration on Tuesday next. The board after this separated. PINEAPPLES IN FRANCE.--A vessel arrived in the river from Rouen bas brought two barrels of pine apples, the growth of France. We are cot an are that any distinct importation of this luscious and esteemed fruit has before taken place from this continental state of Europe. It is known that at the present time there are considerable quantities of nuts and orchard fruits of the various kinds in season brought to this country from France, which have been preceded by a profusion of atone and other fruits, throughout the summer, but no especial mention has been made of their including any supply of pines, neither do we believe that any have taken place. The importations of pineapples, which have been very extensive this summer, from the West Indies, and which poured into the markets at such a rate as to cause them for a length of time to be in the greatest abundance, and attainable at a very moderate price by all classes of the community, have ceased for the season, and this fine fruit has again obtained its exclusive and expensive character. This importation from France, therefore, brcomes an important feature in the supplies of fruit from abroad, and for the reasons stated, is of much interest. DELIGHTS OF MARRIAGE.-011 Thursday last, were married at High-street Chapel, in Huddersfield, Mr. William Hirst to Mrs. Sarah Armstone. The n umber of years these happy people ha ve p asse d on earth amount to 141 ! the jovial br idegroom b e i ng 70 years old, and his bloomi ng partner 71 years ; and they have been married, now, the husband to his fourth wife , and the lady to her thi r d husband.—Leeds Intelligence'''. IRELAND. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, OCT. 18.—The usual meeting of the Re peal Association was held this day, at Conciliation Hall. Scully, Esq., in the chair. The proceedings of this day were more than usually uninteresting. Mr. SCULLY, M.P. for Tipperary, made an an nouncement of what he was sure would be pleasing news, namely, that the Government, aware of the distress and destitution in the west, had already ordered 1.200 tons of meal to be stored there. Mr. JOHN O'CoNriELL, M.P., and Mr. J. REY NOLDS, M.P., addressed the meeting on a variety of .opies. The rent for the week amounted at post hour to 401. ROBBERY OF MR. COFFEY, PAY-CLERK. Another of the notorious " Steel" Maddens, a young girl, has been committed for trial, for having changed at a shop in this town during the fair week one of the bank notes robbed from Mr. Coffey, in December last, by Edward Madden and a gang, the two principals of which are sentenced to transporta tion. It appears that one of the family got change for separate notes on the day in question, which was afterwards discovered by that very efficient officer, head-constable M‘Neiss, of this town, who succeeded in tracing the matter to the proper source. The young female, Anne Madden, was fully committed at Laurencetown Petty Sessions, on Thursday, but the brother, Patt, who passed the note, has not yet been arrested.—Ballinasloe Star. FEVER. We regret to say that fever is on the increase in Coleraine. The clerk of the guardians has fallen a victim. Four of the poor. law guardians, who caught the disease while attending a meeting of the board on Monday se'nnight, are still suffering under the attack. —Coleraine Chronicle. Fever is still very prevalent in this town, but very fortunately it is not attended with that mortality which characterises it in other districts.—Tyrawly Herald. _ _ DROGHEDA.—We regret to state that this disease is rather on the increase than otherwise, 170 patients being at present in the Marsh fever hospital, and no more room for applicants. VOLUNTARY ASSESSMENT FOR RE- PRODUCTIVE LABOUR. The proprietors and farmers of the electoral division of Collinstown, county Westmeath, have come to the determination of making a voluntary assessment, in order to employ the able-bodied labourers of the district. On Thursday last a meeting was held, when they adopted the following resolution :—" Re solved—That it appears that in this district there are 137 able-bodied persons likely to remain permanently unemployed during the ensuing winter, who would become entitled to relief, being in the proportion of about one person to 50 Irish acres ; that it seems an equitable principle that as the cost of their relief would have to be about equally shared by landlords and tenants, that instead thereof they should be equally divided among them for employment; that accordingly each landlord will be expected to find employment for an extra man, se lected from the above number, for every two Irish acres he possesses, for the ensuing five months ; and that every occupier of land (whether landlord or tenant) will be expected to employ one such extra man for one month for every twenty acres occupied by him, being in the same proportion of one to eac h 100 acres for five months; it is proposed to make a registry of the above 137 persons, and to allocate them tor employment as soon as the general consent of the proprietors and tenants can be obtained. The majority of the former have already consented, pro vided that the others will concur. It is earnestly hoped that every one in the district will see the urgent importance of active and instant co-operation for their own and the common interest, and will not lose a day in giving their consent.

A NEW KAVANAGIL—On the 14th ult. there died at Puckeridge, a young woman, named Elizabeth God dard, aged 22. Four years since, while a domestic ser vant in London, she slept in a damp bed, in consequence of which she lost the use of her limbs, and has been bed-ridden ever since. Her parents and intimate friends assert that she has not eaten any solid food for three years, attempting to take nothing but water, and her stomach even rejecting that. During her illness she was visited by gentlemen from Old Hall Green, and adopted the itomiSh faith. The friends refused to allow her body to be opened, and the registrar gives the vague and insufficient report—" Cause of death, internal."--- Hertford Mercury. LORD ASHLEY'S VISIT TO THE WEST PORT TER^ RITORIAL SCHOOL, &c.—lmmediately after the meeting at the Ragged Schools, Lord Ashley, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Tasker, the Rev. Mr. Guthrie, the Rev. Mr. Miller, Sheriff Jameson, and other gentlemen, pro ceeded through the Grassmarket to the territorial church and schools of the Rev. Dr. Chalmers at the West Port, where they found nearly 300 children under instruction. His Lordship expressed much delight with the aspect of the children, and the arrangements of the school. Like many former visitors, he at first seemed disposed to doubt that the children present could be the offspring of so destitute a locality. His Lordship, having inspected the church, next visited the Victoria House, 85, West Port, established some years ago by the Association for Improving the Lodgings of the Working Classes, which is so successfully conducted by the superintendent, Mr. ITGuire, and which has become s-, popular among those for whose benefit it was established.—Edinburgh Witness. Perrot has left Paris for Milan, where he will pro. duce a new ballet of hia own composition at La Scala. See. 6. The states of the league propose facili tating, as much as in them lies, the means of com munication in the inland frontiers, by redueing as much as possible the existing duties. Sec. 7. They also propose taking measures for the adoption of a uniform money currency, and a uniform system of weights and measures. Sec. 8. The states of the league expect that the other states will acknowledge the German flag, and that consequently any vessel sailing under such colours, though with a crew belonging to some other. state, member of the league, or laden with produce of another state of the league, will be placed exactly on the same footing as one of its own vessels. Sec. 9. The states of the league are ready to con cede to the ships of all other states the same privi leges they have mutually conceded to each other; but, on the other hand, they expect that the other states will concede the same privileges in their ports to the ships of the league. sec. 10. The states of the league are willing to place the ships of all nations on the same footing, as regards shipping dues and custom duties, thus giving no preference to the shipping of any particular state. On the other hand they expect their ships to be treated in every respect on the same footing as the most favoured nations. Sec. 11. Should another state not act up to the terms of Sec. 8, the states of the league would be placed in the necessity to impose double port dues, and extra flag-money on the vessels of such state en tering their ports. Sec. 12. In so far as foreign states should refuse to admit, or place heavier conditions on the ships of the league, coming from the ports of another state, and laden with the produce of another state (indirect traffic), than on those coming direct from the ports of the league, or with the produce of the states of the league, the allied states reserve to themselves the right of retaliating by placing higher entrance duties or higher duties on the produce imported by the vessels of those states into their ports. Sec. 13. In so far other states should treat on more favourable terms the ships or produce of a third state either entering its ports or crossing its land frontiers than those accorded to the states of the league, the latter propose imposing differential duties to the disadvantage of the ships and produce of such states. See. 14. The same to be the case towards those states who by monopolies, privileges, or other means should throw obstacles in the way of the commercial and navigation interests of the states of the league. Sec. 15. The principles contained in secs. 8-10 are to constitute the basis for the conclusion of all treatie3 of commerce and navigation between the league and other states, as also to serve as a guide to the line of conduct to be observed in their relations with Wier states. Sec. 16. In future the leagued states, as a general rule, 'are only to conclude treaties of commerce and navigation with other states in the name of the league. should individual states of the league conclude trea th-s with other states on their own account, it can only be done on the condition that it is in the option of the other states of the league to enjoy the same privileges acquired by that treaty by placing them selves on a reciprocal footing. • Sec. 17. All states of the league bind themselves to notify within as short a time as possible the disconti nuance of existing treaties of commerce and naviga tion with conditions other states, contained in e and osnlc. 6.y to renew them under the Sec. 18. The states of the league propose establish ing consols at the common expense, to guard over their interests. -. Sec. 19. As regards the measures to be taken re specting neutrality, quarantine regulations, and other measures, they are still open to consideration. IDLE ARMIES TRA NSFORMED INTO " I NDUSTRIOUS NAVVIES."—By a sort o f exem pl ary i nvers i on o f Mr. w eale's proposition to turn " navvies" into armies, 50,000 soldiers have been turned into "navvies," on the St. Petersburgh and Moscow line of railway. and their immense united strength thus turned to better account than to the idle and continual waste of this description of " working power," so prevalent elsewhere, yet so capable everywhere of assisting great national works, not otherwise to be even dreamt of.—Builder.
