BY SAMUEL LI'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of distase known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their phyS:cal cr:ndition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with out i nc urring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may belavoided, an d, a b ove al l , that there is scarcely any degree of physic tl infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

THIS Company was Established in 1844, for the purpose of opening to the pu'ilic an easy and unquestion ably safe mode of Investment, with a high and uniform rate of Inte rest. The plan of the Bank of Dep - osit differs entirely from that of ordi nary Banks in the mode of employing capital—money deposited with this Company being principally lent upon well secured Life interests, Reversions in the Government Funds, or other property of ample value. This class of securities, although not immediately convent hie, it is well known yields the greatest amount of profit, combined with the most perfect safety. Further, Loans made by the Company are collaterally secured by a Policy of Assurance on the life of the Borrower, or his nominee, effected at a rate of pre mium which secures the validity . of the. Policy against every pos sible con ingency. _ . Thus depositors are effectually protected against the passibility of loss, whilst the large and constantly increasing revenue arising from the premiums on Assurances thus effected yields ample profit to the Company, and provides for all the expenses of management. DEposiT ACCOUNTS may be opened with sums of any amount, and increased from time to time, at the convenience of depositors. A receipt, signed by two Directors, is given for each sum de posited. • RATE AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST. The rate of Interest since the establishment of the Compthy has never been less than five per cent. per annum ; and it is confiden . ly anticipated that the same careful and judicious selection from secu rities of the description above mentioned will enable the Board of Management to continue this rate to depositors. The Interest is payable in January and July. on the amount stand lug in the name of the depositor on the 30th of June and 3.st of December, and for the convenience of parties residing at a distance may be received at the Branch Offices, or remitted through Country Bankers.

LADY FRANKLIN'S FINAL SEARCH.— The Government having come to the con clusion that the fate of the crews of her Majesty's ships Erebus and Terror requires no further investigation on their part, Lady Franklin, in accordance with her sense of what is due to the lost navigators, is now fitting out an expedition at her own cost. As a preliminary measure she sought assistance from the Admiralty, by asking for the loan of the Arctic ship Reso lute, which - had been restored in perfect or d er t o our Q ueen by the American nation, and also for the gift (as granted in her former private expeditions) of such stores from her Ma jesty's dockyards as are available for this special service only. Compliance with these requests having been declined, Lady Franklin is now devoting her whole fortune to this final search ; and a large screw yacht (the Fox) lying at Aberdeen, has been purchased, which the distinguished Arctic officer who has accepted the command of her (Captain McClintock, R.N.) has pronounced to be perfectly adapted to this em ployment. Nat repeating the arguments we formerly made use of to induce the Government to undertake a final and exhaus tive search, we hold to the opinion that it is the duty of Englishmen to examine th it limited area whence the traces of our missing countrymen were derived, which, though it lies to the south of well-searched tracts, and has been ap proached by vessels that have returned without loss, has never yet been explored. Supported by the advice of those experienced Arctic sea. men, in whom she has every reason to confide, Lady Franklin makes this last effort to clear away the mystery that shrouds the fate of her husband and his crews, and possibly to rescue from their insulated icy abode among the Esquimaux some of his younger companions, who may still be prolonging a dreary existence. On such an occasion we, whose names are hereunto sub scribed, feel confident that this our appeal will not remain unanswered by the British people, who will, we doubt not, tender to the widow of the illustrious navigator that sym pathy which his fame and her devotion must call f .rth, and will aid her in carrying out an enterprise involving, as we believe, the honour of the nation. We earnestly, therefore, entreat our countrymen to unite with us in contributing to this noble object. Roderick I. Murchition, Pres.

(Hear.) It was not that those parties did not haieve in the truth of mesmerism, but that they dared not stand up openly, and publinly, and say that they knew it to be true, mid that they would support it against all opposition. (Hear, hear.) It was not every one who bad the moral courage of their gallant chairman, and who would manfully stand up and boldly speak out what they thought upon the subject. (Hear.) It was not that they were without physical courage. They would go on a forlorn hope, they wou'd mount the dea lly breach, without fear or wavering, they would fling away the scabbard ; but when they entered the sick chamber, and saw their own child, the darling of their heart, fast sinking under a severe malady, and given up by their medical attendant, they would fling away the scabbard but they would not fling away the blister and the deadly drug. They would mount the deadly breach, and fear. lessly face the enemy, but they dared not face their apothecary. (Hear.) Therefore, when men could not do that in their own families, they could not suppose that they would attend their anniversary meetings. Though, however, those believers in the truths of mes merism would not come publicly out ; and though several had deserted thorn, there was still a goodly band of staunch friends of the cause who wouldstand t. , gether, andih 3 had no doubt that their principles would spread in all directions. Amongst the poorer classes it was gaining ground fast, as they wee beginning to feel the advantages of it, and once they were fully convinced of its truth and potency there was no doubt of its triumph. Mr. JANSEN seconded the motion, and stated that he had come all the way from Exeter in order to be present at the meeting. In Exeter, under the guidance of Mr. Parker, the cause was triumphing wonderfully. An extraordinary case of accouchement, under the influence of mesmerism, had occurred there recently. The worn-•n was put into mesmeric sleep, in which she remained for eight houre, by the expiring of which time the child was born, and when the woman was put out of the sleep she was not conscious of having felt the slightest pain ; but, on the contrary, was stronger and less fatigued than she would have been in the ordinary case. No x chloroform was sometimes used in cases of this kind, but there never was an instance of a person remaining under the influence of chloroform for eight hours; and in this case it was necessary the sleep should continue for that period. Besides, chloroform was dangerous ; the mes meric sleep was not. Mr. WALLINGTON supported the motion, and men tioned numerous cases of diarr+cei which he had cured by means of mesmerism—one of the - !e having occurred that morning. • lie looked solely upon mesmerism as a curative agent, and if it was put forward in that view, there was no doubt but that it would soon bring over to it the support of the community. Dr. COLLIER also supported the motion. It was now nineteen years since he had investigated into the truths of mesmerism, and he had now no doubt of them. The great object it was intended for was the cure of disease, and as functional diseases affected the nervous system, he had found, as a physician, that it was to the nervous system mesmerism applied itself to the greatest extent. He had, over and over again, extracted teeth when the parties were in the mesmeric sleep, they being conscious of no pain ; and in New York ho took a tumuli off the breast of a mulatto woman, the operation lasting thirty minutes, and she feeling no pain whatever. The resolution was then put from the chair, anti cor dially agreed to. On the motion of Mr. \Viso-, seconded by Mr. THOMP SON, Dr. Parland, Mr. Ge.ff, Mr. Re we, and the Rev. J,ffrey Eking were elected members of the council in room of those going out by rotation, the first three gen tlemen being re-elected. Mr. MAGENDIE next moved a vote of thanks to the council for the efficient manner in which they had done their duty during the past year. Mr. GEORGE CRIIIKSHANK seconded the motion, and stated that, though he was but little acquainted with tne.onei ism, yet he had recently seen several cases of cure effected by it, which convinced him of its truth, and he had come there to acknowledge such. He could bear his testimony to the high character of Dr. Elliotson, who was at the head of this establishment, and whom he had known for half a century. He was present at the first operation he performed under this system. He had not then time to investigate into the matter, though he had little doubt as to the truth of it ; but, if he had bad doubts upon the subject, the case of the boy Row land, mentioned in the report, and with which he was familiar ' would entirely have dispelled them. (Hear.) He had no doubt that there was in mesmerism a great curative power ; and if it was a fact that a per-on could be thrown into this sleep and undergo the severest opera tion, and when awoke have the functions unimpaired, but on the contrary strengthened, it was a matter which the faculty ought at once to take up. He knew a lady, the widow of au of f icer in the army, who underwent an operation under the influence of chloroform, but she never awoke from the sleep into which it threw her. Now, had she been put into the mesmeric sleep and had the operation performed, he had no doubt she might have been now alive. (Hear, hear.) In fact, ho had heard of so many operations performed under the sys tem, that be thought the more they were published to the world the better it would be for society. (Hear.) _ . The motion was then agreed to. Dr. PuaLAND then said that they did not come before the meeting with the .bare statement in a report of the cures they had effected, but they bad brought tte patieats there themselves, in order that any one present might question them as to the truth of the statement made of their cases. The postman whom they had seen jest leave the room, was about to have been dismissed consequence of deafness, but having come to the in firmary he now heard as well as over he did. The little girl whom they saw on the platform was brought up from Scotland, considered to be deaf and dumb, but after being in the infirmary a month she was made both to epeak and hear. If, however, there was one man who did more to bring about these satisfactory results than any one else, and who in fact did wore for the in etitutiou than them all, that man was Dr. Ellictson, and he begged, therefore, to propose a vote of thanks to Dr. Elliotson, for his attention to the duties of the institu tion, and the services he had rendered to it. Dr. COLLIER seconded the resolution, which was agreed to with much applause. Dr. ELLIOTSON acknowledged the compliment. Whe he first saw mesmerism he was astonished, but nct convinced. That was in 1829, when he was physician to St. Thomas's Hospital. Ho had, however, little op portunity of poking into it until 1837, when Baro❑ Dupotet visited London, whom he took to the North London Hospital, and after the cases of cure the Baron there effected, he could no longer gainsay or reject it. He was sorry to say there were many gentlemen who believed in mesmerism, but who would not come boldly out and say so. An instance of this occurred at a dinner party not long ago. The host, who was a literary gentle man, was well known to be a believer in mesmerism, but the subject having been talked over before the ladies left the table, he treated it with ridicule. Aft r the ladies left, one of the party said to him, " Why, I always thought you were a believer in mesmerism !" "So I am," was the reply, "but do you think I am such an ass as to have said so before the women !" (Laughter.) Now, that was the position of a great many, though it was very wrong, for what a man believed to be truth he should never hesitate to acknowledge in the most public manner possible. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CAPERN, for a considerable time secretary to the infirmary, then related numerous cases which he had met with in the street, and had taken the parties into a , neighbouring coffee-shop and cured them. Several of those parties were present, and acknowledged the cures which had been effected on them. One man said he had lost the use of his limbs, and was obliged to walk on crutches, but Mr. Capern having met him accidentally took him into a coffee-shop, and in 16 minutes he was able to walk home without his crutches, ani bad never used them since, being now quite well. Another, a labouring man, said he had for two years been affected with rheumatic pains, which prevented him from sleeping at night, but after once or twice seeing Mr. Capern, he had slept for the last two nights well, and without any pain whatever. Mr. CHARLES BERRY, a fine Coldstream Guardsman, with the four-clasped medal on his breast, wbo was wounded at the battle of Inkerman, and had his left arm taken from the socket, stated that after despatching three Russians he was himself wounded in the arm, when the Duke of Cambridge, who saw him wounded, ordered him to the rear. He walked three miles to the rear, ac companied by one of the drummers of his regiment, whose assistance, however, he did not requ ire. He la y on the ground from 12 o'clock on Sunday, the day of the battle, until eight o ' c lock on Tuesday, and in conse quence of lying so long his right leg got shrunk up. On Tuesday Dr. Wyatt wrenched his arm from the socket, after which he was sent to Scutari, where he remained a considerable time. After coming to England, he was one day hobbling down the Strand, when he was accosted by Ur. Capern, who took him to a coffee-shop in the vici nity, and after a few passes over his shoulder from which the arm was taken, and which was still very painful, the pain totally subsided, and he could bear a person to strike him on it. After that Mr. Capern attended him on six different occasions at his own house, on each of which he made several passes down his teg, the result of which was that it was now as straight as the other, and he could run a race with any one in the room. (Hear.) The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was cordially responded to. TEE ART TREASURES EXUIBITION.—The number of persons entering on Friday by season tickets was 1,036; on payment of ls. each, 6,116 ; total 7,152. Of these 2,152 arrived by railway. There was a better attend ance on Saturday. In addition to the two triumphal arches mentioned in our last notice of preparations for the Queen's visit as about to be erected, a subscription is making for one or two more of these trophies in St. Ann's-square, near the Exchange ; and p robably the example will be followed in other parts of the town, and in Salford, where the people living on the route which the royal cortege is to take are to be invited to decorate their windows with hamm ers, drapery, flowers, &c. The authorities of Manchester and Salford are availing themselves of the services of organised bodies like the Foresters, Odd Fellows, and Recbabites, to line the principal thoroughfares and aid the police in preserving order. KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL. On Saturday a public meeting was held in the great hall of Lincoln's-inn, for the purpose of raising a sum of 40,0001. fer the completion of King's Col lege Hospital. 'His Royal .Elighnes.ss the Duke of Cambridge presided. The hall was completely filed by a most respectable assemblage, theladies greatly predominating in number. There were on the plat form the Bishops of London, Oxford, and St. Asaph the Earl of Harrowby, Lord Feversham, Sir W. P. Weod, Vice-Chancellor, Ald.. Copeland, M.P., Sir T. Phillips, Mr. Justice Coleridge, the Hey. Mr. Cunningham, &c. The programme of the proceed ings embraced the perfermance of an anthem (Han del), the "Benedictus"(Mozart), and " La Carib." (Rossini), by the choir of Lincoln's-inn assisted by members of the Sacred Harmonic Society, under the direction of Mr. J. Pitman, organist to the Hon. Society. An appropriate prayer having been offered up by the Bishop of London, his Royal Highness opened . the proceedings of the day by observing that on that occasion he appeared for the first time as the President of King's College Hospital. (Cheers.) He begged to tender to the supporters and friends of that venerable institution his grate. ful acknowledgments for the honour they had con ferred upon him. In doing so he could not but re flect with regret that the cause of that honour having been conferred upon him was the death of a nohlensau—an intimate friend of his own—whose loss all must deeply lament. He was a man who during life promoted every useful and charitable institution of this country, and it now became his duty to endeavour to rattain the same amount of usefulnes in the world which his noble friend ac quired during his earthly career. (Cheers.) After briefly adverting to the absence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who had been summoned to attend at her Majesty's Court, his Royal Highness said he had just had the advantage of a personal inspection of the hospital, and ho thought it worth the while of anybody who had leisure to witness what he had done. Notwithstanding the difficulties which had been encountered, the organisation seemed perfect, and reflee',ed great credit on those who had the management of the institution. Such an inspection would convince everybody that it was of the great est importance that so excellent and useful an es tablishment should be extended to the farthest pos sible limits. At present the accommodation was was not more than half of that which was required. The annual increase of out-patients and in-patients was enormous. As a proof of the extensive utility of the institution, no less than 1,0001. a-year was expended in medicines alone. The locality of the hospital was certainly very confined, but it should be borne in mind that this vast city, spre !ding out in every direction, rendered it impo•is,ble to select open sites, while the thickly-inhabited localities all the more required hospitals for the sick. 'Yet it was a pity large intermediate spaces were left without such ins' it utions. Such an arrangement was most in convenient, impolitic, and objectionable. Tho King's College Hospital had the advantage of being in intimate Cnraexcen with King's College. Those; gentlemen who were at that college, studying for the medical profession, enjoyed the advantage and usefulness of the hospital by obtaining that instruc tion which was calculated to quality them for their proftssion in after life. The theological students also derived great service from the instimtion, for the-e was no more important duty to be discharged by a miustcr of the church than the attendance upon the s:ck and the poor. Another advantege , . enjoyed by this hospital was the nursing system there pur-ued—a system superior to any yet esta blished in giving aid and comfort to the sick. The general appearance of the interior arrangements wa3 moat satisfactory. The wards were conveniently constructed, and cleanliness, neatness, respectabi lity, an I comfort were observable throughout. Even so apparently trifling a thing as that of flowers decorating the window sillsaud placed about the rooms was not to bo passed by unnoticed. They of themselves gave an air of cheerfulness and com fort- to the . chambers of the sick, while by such minute attentions the sufferings of tho patients could not fail to b 3 alleviated in thus finding them selves healed as if they were comfortably at home in their own beds. There was one point of view in which hospitals we7e not sufficiently appreciated. Thdr chief purpose unquestionably was to admi nist sr relief to the sick and heal the diselsed ; but beyond these benefits they incidentally conferred a great and listing moral service on many who be came inmates of them. The h feeling-, ten dencies, and everything affecting the charactx of the individual must be benefited by the moral training which the system pursued at such an in stitution necessarily imparted. In supporting public hospitals, therefore, they were not •l ministering aid and comfort to the sick, but wero preparing for them a better and happier existence through life, and a much more hopeful future in every score of the word. (Cheers.) The sum required for so great an undertaking as the present was certainly very considerable. He was happy to inform the meeting that although 40,0001. was the sum stated to be needed, yet a very large portion of that money had already been collected. It reflected great credit on the com mittee of the institution that they had. exerted themselves so effectually in that important work. But the sum still to he collected was considerable. Seeng ' however, the great object to be attain, and observing the large interest that was taken in it, he not the least doubt that the committee would be able to accomplish the work they had undertaken. (Cheers.) The Bishop of OXFORD moved the following re soluti.on "That the largo amount of relief afforded at Kingli Co;lege Hospital to yearly increasing numbers of sick poor, freely admitted, not from the metropolis only, but from distant parts of the kingdom, is at once a proof of great public conadeuce and a ground for continued and extended support." He concurred with his Royal Highness that the closeness of the locality which formed the site of the hospital, instead of being a disadvantage, was a great advantage, lying as it dill close beside two great thoroughfares of the metropolis, from which branched narrow streets filled with houses of want and misery. He equally appreciated the important advantage arising from the connexion of the hos pital with King's College, while he regarded with like satisfaction the improved system of nurses to which his Royal Highness had referred, and of which he was so competent to speak from a know ledge derived under other circumstances and in other clianates—(cheers)—a knowledge acquired among scenes and in the midst of sufferings and deeds of terror, where the valour he displayed had endeared him personally to every Briton's heart. (Cheers.) The Earl of HARnovruY, in seconding the reso lution, said that iu.the presence of so many ladies he had peculiar pleasure in pointing their attention to that great object of female care, piety, and en thusiasm, the attendance of the sick in our great public hospitals. The resolution was unanimously agreed to. Sir W. PAGE WOOD moved the next resolution:— " That by reason of the remarkable and progressive in creaso of the population of tho metropolis, and the inade quacy of hospital accommodation to supply the wants of the inhabitants, especially in those central districts of Lon don which lie between Holborn and the Thames, the early completion of the buildings of King's College Hospital is an object of paramount importance." .. . . In the course of his remarks the right hon. and learned judge expressed his belief that this country was almost entirely singular in regard to other em pires in trusting to the benevolent feelings of the people for the relief and recovery of the sick poor. In every large kingdom in Europe provision was made out of the public funds for the maintenance of those large hospitals which might be seen at Paris, Vienna, and elsewhere. But in this coun try there was a large amount of Christian feeling and principle to which the Government might with confidence leave the (rood work of providing insti , tutions of this noble character. The resolution was seconded by the Bishop of ST. AsAPII and adopted unanimously. Mr. Alderman COPELAND, the treasurer, then read a list of contributions, at the head of which was the name of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge for 100/.—(cheers),—" 5.," per Mr. W. H. Smith, 1,000/. ; the late Lord Radstock, 6001.; Mr. T. G. Sambrooke, 500/. •, " H.," 500/.; Mr. E. Wigraw, 500/.; Messrs. R. Tw inin g and Co., 500/. ; " d." 500/. ; Messrs.

W. E. Gladstone, 100/., &c. A long list of the Ladies' Committee for r aising 1 0,000 was also read, amounting already to nearly 1,5001. The following resolution was then moved by Mr. J. H. GREEN, seconded by Alderman COPELAND, and unanimously adopted :-- "That, although the immediate friends of the charity have promised liberal contributions towards the comple tion of the hospital, a public appeal for aid to be give n with a generous hand, is rendered necessary by the mag nitude of the undertaking, and this meeting will cheerfully 4 aid the committee of management by co-operating in their THE MESMERIC INFIRMARY. The annual general meeting of the Mesmeric Infir mary, 36, Weymouth-street, Portland-place, was held on Saturday, at Willie's Rooms, King street, St. James'p. Major-General BAGNOLD presided, and in opening the proceedings said be regretted exceedingly that they had not some gentleman of more weight, and who could use his is fleence, on society and the public at large, with greater effect than he could pretend to do, to occupy the honourable position in wisieh they had placed him. However, he trusted that in taking tai duty on himself, an old soldier was not to be considered out of his place in advocating the cause of charity an d b enevo l ence . (Hear, heara He begged, therefore, to call the atten tion of the meeting to this charity. It was one of a most useful character, an I had been the means of re storing many to health, happiness, and the powers of labour, when all other means had failed, and such being its character, it was eminently entitled to the support of the community at large. (Hear, beer.) As regarded himself, ho could only say that bad he, not been a most firm believer in the curative powers of mesmerism they would not have seen him there on that occasion. (He r, bear.) He was one of those who, during a consi 'erable period of a long and active life, ridiculed and scorned the idea of mesmerism. In fact, he looked upon it as a gross super , tition, and when he hear I of its doings in Europe, I.e ascribed them to the emanations of a die brain. Bat on making fel: inquire into the subject, his views underwent a complete change, and he was now snore firmly convinced of its truth than ever he pre viously was of its falacy. (Hear, b ear ) Mr. Janez Iwwanns then read the report of the coun cil of management of the institution for the past year. It commenced by stating that the knowledge of mess meristn and the admission of its truta hal been steadily , spreading country, since attention t o it was pewer •in this fully excited in 1837 at University College Hospital. then proceeded to give a succinct sketch of the progress it had wade in this country from the first intimation of it, 200 years ago, down to the present time, the opposition it had met with, the prejudice with which it had been assailed, but at the same time the triumphs it had achieved—triumphs which the greatest fog to mesmer ism could not now gainsay. The report then went on to state that there had been in the infirmary since the last annual meeting 266 patients. At teat date the number under treatment was 41. There had been cured or benefitted to a greater or less extent 63. The great majority of the rest attended far too short a time for any good to be done, and some attended a few times only, perhaps but once or twice. Too report enumerated some of the cures effected, such as severe sprains, palsy of senses, ae mqiern of the legs, deafness, rneurnatiem in its in6st — Wßilnate form—that farm of it mentioned by Sir Astley Cooper, which oc curred in connection with a local contagious dissue— the wh le of the cases cured having been treated un successfully in hospitals and by medical practitioners A detail of the cure of epilcsy was also given, and which was of a somewhat extraordinary character. A young lad, 15 years of age named William Ibex Rowland, living at No. 1, Gould's-h.li, Shadwell, the son of a man belonging to the Land Transport corps, A division, had spent the last three years on board a collier as an apprentice. On the 11th January, 1853, his mother went on board the vessel, and told him that his father had died at Belaklava on the let of the previous Decem ber, from frost, in consequence of the tents being blown away. The young lad was immediately distracted, felt as if his heart was bursting, and passed a sleepless night. In the morning he was seized with an epileptic fit, and had s:x or seven in the course of that day and the next. He continued to have them for a month on board the vessel, and was then sent home by the captain, and while at home he had three or four daily, for three weeks. The mother applied to the Patriotic Fund for assistance, and he and her ether two children were both sent to the Orphan Home at Barnet, established for the orphans of soldiers who perished in the Crimea. He remained there a year. The fits did not cease, but took place once, t wice, or three times a day, and he be came violent, to a degree insane, so that it was consi dered be ns.ust ho placed in a lunatic asylum. A little be fore Christmas he was in the Westminster Hospital, but growingworseand woree hewas broughtexceed:ngly ill into the Mesmeric Infirmary on the 18th of April last by Mr. Rose, of the Orphan Home. He was astonished on see ing passes made before his face, as he thought he was to have medicine ; yet the first time that was done ho went to sleep, and from that day was elways thrown into the sleep after passes before his face during a very few reds nutes. At the end of a week the fits were fewer and milder, and the boy was calmer and more manageable. When at the infirmary on Monday afternoon, the 19th of May, he told his mesmeriser that he had been attacked with a fit in the morning at ten o'clock, and that he had dreamt at the infirmary that he should have it at that time, and that he should have two more fits only, one on Thursday, at ten o'clock, and another on Saturday at the same hour. After his mesmeric sleep was over he was desired to attend on the Thursday and Saturday at the hour indicated, when he had the fits at the hour pre dicted, and he had had none ever since. He is now in perfect health, and went back to school on the 29th of May. We may add here that the boy was present at the meeting, and appeared a smart -looking healthy little fellow. The report went on to give some farther inte resting details respecting the institution, and the cures effected by means of it, and concluded by urging on its friends greater liberality in aid of its funds, as many cases had to be refused in consequence of the smallness of them. The Rev. Mr. SANDBY moved the adoption of the re port. That report was no common document ; it was a philosophical and scientific paper, full of important scien tific principles, which, if fully known and carried out, would go far to benefit their fellow-creatures. (Hear.) It gave a most succinct and graphic sketch of the rise and progress of mesmerism in this country, until it led them to the turning point in its career here, namely, the establishment of the Mesmeric infirmary (hear, hear) —the anniversary of which they were that day met to celebrate. The establishment of that institution was a triumph of mesmerism which all the medical men in Europe and America could not get over. When it was first instituted, these gentlemen . predicted, " Ob, it would not live a year ;' —(hear hear)—but here they were on the occasion of their eighth anniversary, while they bad got such cases of cure to produce and lay before the public , as would defy the greatest enemy of mesmerism to controvert or gainsay. (Hear.) The report alluded to many gratifyi ng facts. It told them that mesmerism was flourishing, and so undoubt edly it was. It also told them that the infirmary was in the most perfect state of order and efficiency ; and so it was, for the arrangements were such as reflected the greatest credit on the council, and those who had the management of it, who deserved the sincere thanks of all true friends of the cans% (Hear.) It told them likewise that there had been some most interesting cures effected during the past year, but it also added to those gratifying statements, one which partook of report, namely, that much more good could be done if the coun cil had more funds at their disposal. (Hear.) He re gretted that the council were obliged to send many parties away because they had not funds which would enable them to treat them and pay for the mesmerisers. He supposed that all charitable associations laboured more or less under the lukewarmmess of their professed friends, but in the use of mesmerism this lukewarmness was most unjustifiable. He did not hesitate to say that many ought to be subscribers who were not, and there were many who had received the benefits of the institu tion who were able to subscribe to its funds, but of whom they never heard of after they were cured. He believed mesmerism to her a great test of human character. It showed what sort of stuff a man was made of. He did net mean in a physical sense, but it was eminently qua lified to tell them what was his organisation. It might not be out of place on that occasion were he to ask why it was that many men holding distinguished positions in this country—men of rank, and character, and standing, who were the professed friends of mesmerism, —why it was that they were not there on that occasion to coun ten tune it? (Hear.) Were they a f ra id ? Th er e 1:N as SUBSOR: Sir Roderick I. Murchison, Pre sident Royal Geo graphical Society, F.R.S. £loo 0 0 Rear-Admiral Sir F • Beaufort, K. C.B F.R.S.

The ROYAL DUKE, in expressing his acknowledg ment, obse rve d th a t it b a d b een s aid the citizens and inhabitants of London were somewhat back- • ward in coming forward to support public charities but he could not subscribe to that doctrine.

It was true the large institutions of this metropolis required great assistance, and they must strive ever to keep alive the interest of the people in those institutions. It would be gratifying to the meeting to be informed that no le s a sum than 15,000/. had already been contributed to the fund. (Cheers.) The National Anthem was then sung, and the meeting separatd. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen held 'a Court on Saturday afternoon for' ,he reception of addresses on the Throne. The Archbishop of Canterbury, wearing his Convoca tion robe, arrived at Buckingham Palace at a quarter before 3 o'clock, accompanied by bishops and clergy of the province of Canterbury. His Grace and the 'deputa tion were ushered to the Green Drawing-room, and sub sequently were admitted to the presence of her Majesty on the Throne, his Royal Highness Prince Albert being by the side of the Queen. In attendance near the Sovereign were Sir G. Grey, Secretary of State for the Home Department ; the Duchess of Wellington, acting for the Duchess of Sutherland ; the Marchioness of Ely, Lady in Waiting ; Earl Spencer, K.G., Lord Steward ; Marquis of Bread albane, K.T., Lord Chamberlain ; the Duke of Welling ton, Master of the Horse; Earl of Mulgrave, Treasurer; Lord Ernest Biuc--, Vice-Chamberlain ; and Viscount Caqtlerosee, Controller of the Household. The Archbishop of Canterbury was accompanied by the Bishops of London, Winchester, Oxford, Hereford, Chichster, and Worcester ; the Dean of Bristol (Pro locutor); the Deans of Westminster and Worcester ; the Archdeacons of London, Westminster, Middlesex, Buckingham Bedford, and Bristol ; Rev. Dr. Jeremie, Rev. Dr. M'Caul, Rev. Mr. Randolph, Rev. Mr. L'oyd, Rev. Mr. Oxenden, Rev. Mc. Seymour, Rev. Mr. Mills, Rev. Mr. Leighton, Rev. Mr. Harding, Rev. Mr. Hop per, Rev. Mr. Burton, Dr. Twigs (Vicar-General of the Province of Canterbury), F. H. Dyke, Esq. (Registrar of Convocation), G. Burcbett, Esq. (Actuary of Convo- cation), and F. Kuyvett, Esq. (Archbishop's Secretary). 13i3 Grace read to the Queen the folb wing address from the Archbishop, Bishops, and Clergy of the Pro vince of Canterbury in Convocation assembled : " Madam,—We, your Majesty's faithful subjects, the . archbishop, bishops, and clergy of the province of Canter bury, in Convocation assembled, approach your Majesty with the assurance of our loyal and affectionate attach ment to your Majesty's Throne and person. We feel it to be a ground of much thankfulness to Almighty God that in offering this our accustomed address we are able to join with it our humble congratulations on the blessings which it has pleased Him to continue to your Majesty and to your illustrious consort—blessings which aro happily shared by the cuuutry at large, as well in regard to its internal tran quillity and welfare as to the restoration of peace among the European Powers. At the same time, we would desire to offer our respectful condolence upon the less of that ex cellent Princess whose decease marks the removal of a ge n-e• Alan of your Majesty's illustrious house. Since the last occasion when we were permitted to address your Majesty s.!veral subjects of much interest to the National Church have been brought under our consideration. Among these we humbly conceive that none calls more urgently for our attention than the best mode of extending the blessings of the Church to the increasing population, which has far out grown the actual provision both of the number of clergy and of the funds available for their suprort. While-we- - regret this spiritual destitution we thankfully acknowledge the measure of private liberality which has bsen directed towards the purpose of conveying the means of grace to our population at home, and to those colonial possessions of your Majesty which are so widely extending the laws, the language, the liberties, and, as we trust, the religion of our native land. It is a gratifying reflection that, through pri vate munificence, with little assistance from public sources, your Majesty's reign has been signalised by the erection of new sees in every quarter cf the globe—from Africa to New Zealand, from Victoria to Rupert's Land. We have observed wit h satisfaction that your Majesty has been pleased to appoint a commission to consider the boundaries of some of the dioceses in England, and we earnestly pray that their inquiries and recommendations may be so directed as to promote the efficiency and well-being of our Church. In the promotion of public education—a question which intimately concerns us as ministers of religion —we thankfully acknowledge the liberal aid afforded us by public grants. The attention directed towards the instruc tion of the young is a marked feature of the present age, but we deeply deplore the difficulties which in too many cases induce the labouring classes to remove their children from school at a very early ago, before they have received the full advantages of a sound education and been properly instructed in their duty towards God and man. "It is difficult to suggest the remedy, but if it should please your Majesty, in accordance with the spirit of that general summons in your Majesty's writ `to treat of cer tain difficult and urgent affairs concerning your Majesty, the security and defence of the Church o England, and the peace and tranquillity and public good of your king dom and your subjects of the same,' to commit to our spe cial deliberation this or any other question affecting the interest of our holy religionjor the usefulness of the church, we trust that we shall not be found unmindful of the so lemn character of the functions we are called to discharge and shall conduct our proceedings in a spirit of reverent dependence upon the Divine blessing, and with the dili gence which would become us in obeying your Majesty's commands. Hitherto the shortness of time given to our consultations has in a great measure frustrated the advan tages which we humbly trust would result if fuller oppor tunity were afforded for ascertaining the opinions of the clergy by discussion in Convocation. Meanwhile, we as sure your Majesty that any difficulties which may impede our endeavours to convey the gospel of our Lord and Savi our Jesus Christ as the ruling principle of life to every parish and to every individual in the land will rather serve to stimulate than restrain our exertions • and we have the encouragement of knowing that, while we attempt to carry into effect this important purpose, we are promoting the earnest wish and prayer of your Majesty, whom God has appointed to be our Supreme Governor on earth, and whom we treat that He may long preserve to see the in crease of temporal prosperity and the growth of true reli gion throughout your Majesty's dominions-" Her Majesty returned the following most gracious answer:— I receive with much gratification your renewed assur ance of loyal and affectionate attachment to my Throne and person, and I thank you for your expression of sympathy with my deep sorrow for the recent loss of my beloved aunt, the late Duchess of Glocester. " I heartily concur in your feelings of gratitude to Al mighty God for the many and great blessings which ho has bestowed on my family and on this nation; and I sincerely pray that your zealous endeavours to increase the efficiency of the Church, to extend its ministrations, and to render them as coniucive as possible to the advancement throughout my dominions of peace and happiness, truth and justice, religion and piety, will, by the Divine bless ing, tend to establish our national prosperity on the surest foundations, and to promote the permanent welfare anti highest interests of all classes of my people." The Archbishop kissed hands. The Prolocutor, the Dean of Bristol, had also the honour to kiss the hand of the Sovereign. His Grace, with the Bishops and clergy, then withdrew. An address of congratulation from the corporation of the city of London was then presented. The Lord Mayor had previously arrived at the Palace in his state coach, drawn by six horses. His lordship was accompanied by Aldermen Sir P. Laurie, Sir G. Carroll, Sir E Moon, Bart., Sir R. Carden, Salomons, Rose, and Sir J. Duke, the Recorder ; R. Gurney , Esq. the Sheriffs, Messrs. lechi and Keates ; the Chamber. lain, Sir J. Key ; the Common Sergeant, T. Chambers, Esq. ; the Controller, F. Brand, Esq. ; the Remem. brancer, E. Tyrrell, Esq. • Messrs. Randall and Locke, Common Pleaders ; the 'Solicitor, C. Pearson, Eaq. ; the Judge of the Sheriff's Court, M. Prendergast, Esq.; the Architect, J. B. Bunning, Eaq. ; Secretary Potter, the High Bailiff, W. Pritchard, Esq. • the Under Sheriffs, Messrs. Anderton and Crosley, the keeper of the Guildhall, Mr. J. Temple, and F. Woedtborpe, Esq. His Lordship was also accompanied by 91 commoners. The members of the Corporation hadassembled in the Bow-room, and were conducted thence up the graad staircase to the Throne-room by Sir W. Martins, Gen tleman-Usher in Waiting. The Lord Mayor and Corporation having been con• ducted to her Majesty, the Recorder read the Address from the Lord Mayor. Aldermen, and Commons of the city of London, in Common Council assembled, con• gra tulating the Queen on the birth of a Princess. Her Majesty returned the following most gracious answer:— " Your loyal and dutiful Address has afforded me sin. cere satisfaction; and I thank you for the deep interest which you have expressed in the domestic happiness of myself and beloved Consort. The loyal and affectionate attac h me nt of my people affords me the highest gratifica• tion ; and you may rely upon my constant en d eavours to p r omote their happiness and welfare." The Lord Mayor, Ald. Sir Peter Laurie, Mr. R. C. Bucknall, mover, and Mr. H. L. Taylor, seconder of the Address, had the honour to kiss hands. The corporation then withdrew.
