WALTER BERDOE, TAILOR, No. 69, CORNHILL, was the first who introduced the NEW VENTILATING WATERPROOF, which renders garments (when properly made up) completely impervious to rain, without offering any obstruction to the ea cape of perspira tion. Its complete success is now fully established, as is proved by the most convincing testimonials, its extensive adoption, and tho numerous attempts subsequently made by others to ac complish the same end. THE CODRINGTON DREADNOUGHTS area New, and much approved Waterproof Garment, gentlemanly, port able, and convenient, are now in general use, and the best proof of their efficiency is the greatly increasing demand for them, through the recommendation of those who have long tried them. W. Berdoe has now ready a large stock of all the most ap proved materials for Warm Winter Clothing, and is convinced that the process of the British Water-proofing Company is the best.

Semper nocuit differre paratis."— L . THERE is p er haps no situation in life so full -a- of etniarrassment as when the over-sensitiv, feel thern-: selves compelled to reveal their moral indiscretions, or their physical imperfections, to others. Day after day does the horn)i of expo re accumulate in the morbid imag nation, while increasing disease aug. ments the suffering of the body and the irritability of the mind. Sen siblo of th e anguis h thus protracted, we have adopted a system w hi c h long practical experience has proved to be highly successful, and which precludes the absolute necessity of personal communication with those who recoil from such mode of consultation. A full and minute description of the case, written in plain language, will enable us to treat the patient with delicate secrecy ; and such has been the pecu. liar nature of our practice, embracing every variety of difficult cir cumstances that the most timid may feel encouragement in the oppor. tunity thus afforded them. Twonty-tive Years of practice, exclusively devoted to diseases arising trom in discretion, gaiety, or climate, whereby the constitution may have become enfeebled, enable us to promise a restoration to neaith, without any interference with the ordinary diet and habits. Messrs. GOSS and co. are to be consulted, as usual, every day, at their residence; and Pati-nts in the remotest parts of the coun. try can be treated successfully on their describing minutely the case, and enclosing a remittance for . deice and Medicine.

" From the preponderance of talent we may always infer the soundness of the commonwealth ; but from the preponder ance of riches, its dotage and degeneracy." In proportion as nations get more corrupt, more disgrace will attach to poverty, and more respect to wealth. But these are two questions that would completely reverse this order of things; what keeps some persons poor ? and what has made others rich ? The true answers to these queries would often make the poor man more proud cf his poverty than the rich man is of his wealth, and the rich than more justly ashamed of his wealth than th• poor man, unjustly, now is of his poverty." Extract: " He ( Sir Robert Peel) may vaunt himself of the share which he has had in promoting that unhallowed measure the New Poor-law, if he pleases; the country does not vaunt him; many of his personal fiiends do not ! " Let Sir Robert Peel understand his position. He is infi nitely better than in Parliament upon all points except this. But he is not a Canning—he is not a Wyndham, nor a Pitt, nor a Fox. He cannot, by dint of personal influence or brilliant talents, carry his countrymen with him to any great extent upon questions on which there was no union of opinion before, as was the case with those statesman " born" in " happier days." " Reflections of this kind would be of great use to Sir Robert Peel. We respect him, but are no flatterers of him, nor ever will lye."—The Times, Friday, August 2, 1839. " It is pleasing to us to observe a conspicuous personage in our triple state, with was alike unmindful in his day, and of the posthumous fame of a Prince—Sir Robert Peel has his proper estimation with a portion of the press." The Tories quarrel with the Hon. Baronet because of his feeble, shifting, cowardly policy which has been pursued during several Sessions of Par liament. We now find this once trumpeted s t a t esman every where inveighed against by those of his own facti on , as a slug gish and irresolute, if not a feeble - minded, statesman."—Sun day Times, October 27, 1839, —The Sun, J an . 4 , 1 840.

" Reflections of this kind would be of great use to Sir Robert Peel"—the Conservative leader !—" this once trum peted statesman"—to whom we say, he who could once so far forget himself by dereliction of duty to be unmindftil of -his Prince's honour, hide his inglorious head." He who assumed to himself " the first of his family," should have thought . . . . it were an easy leap To pluck bright honour from the mid-day su n ; Or dive into the bottom of the deep, Where fathom-line cold never touch the ground, And pluck up drowned honour by the locks; But, out upon this half-fac'd fellowship !

PROCEEDINGS OF THE ASSEMBLY'S COM MISS' ON. (From the Inverness Courier.) We have taken some pains to ascertain the feeling of our townsmen, and of the inhabitants of the North generally, on this question, and we can consci entiously say that it is almost unanimous against the dominant party in the Commission. Those who express any approval of the Veto At t, qua lify it by admitting that they consideF it only as a stepping -stone to the total abolition of patronage. The poorer classes in the country parishes regard it as investing them with power to appoint, as well as reject, and this is a fertile source of dissension and disappoint ment. It seems also very unjust to depose the Strath bogie ministers, and leave Dr. Bryce and his friends untouched. "If you have a good principle," says Dr. Chalmers, " carry it out as far as it will go." Now, Dr. Bryce is clearly as guilty in principle as those whose conduct he defends and applauds. Yet. the Commission pass by the higher offenders—if of fenders they are—and pounce upon a few secluded clergymen, enshrined in the affections of their people. and whose only fault was that they practised in their own conduct what they inculcated from their pu pits— obedience to the law of the land, Until a settlement has been made of the jarring and contradictory claims of the Church and State, it would certainly have been more decorous, more just, and more Christianlike in the Assembly, to have bowed in silence, and awaited calmly the deliberation of Parliament. Why appeal to the Court of Session or the House of Lords, if it was intended to disregard their decision ? It is always dangerous to raise metaphysical distinctions as to the question of obedience .to power. Sociatt- f would be at an end if there was no confidence in the ultimate authority of the law. Even if instances of abuse did occur in the exercise of patronage, few as these have beer of late years, it would have been more becoming in the clergyman to consider the advantages as well as the disadvantages, incident to an endowed Church. The people may have no voice in the choice of their pastor, but on the other hand they have not the expense of maintaining him. The State provides for the religious instruction of the people under certain Conditions, and those conditions, so far from being bur densome or painful, have conduced to raise a body of respectable and pious clergymen, long considered an honour to their country. PRESBYTERY OF STRATILBOGIE.— Our accounts from the seven parishes of this Presbytery, whose ministers were suspended by the Commission of the Assembly, with respect to the proceedings which took place on Sunday, state that the parishioners con tinue attached to their own proper clergymen,—while those deputed to perform the very obnoxious duty of supplanting them, have, in general, met with rathar a cool reception. The Rev. Mr. Topp, Elgin, who could find no place in the village of Mortlach, preached in a grain loft at the distillery at Dufftown, to a congregation of about 30 or 40 ; while the parish church was filled as usual, to hear Mr. Cruickshank the parish minister,—and the collection for the poor vri's larger than usual. At Cairny, the Rev. Mr. Cowie preached to a large congregation of his affec tionate hearers, who have expressed themselves de termined to adhere to him, notwithstanding the singular and extraordinary means used to draw them away. The Rev. Mr. Anderson, appointed in his place, preached in a house at Corse, to a congregation of about fifty. At Huntly, the Rev. Mr. Walker preached to a congregation of above nine hundred ; the collection for tkp,poor being about 2s. 6d. less than the average. H4Fe.Mr. Candlish from Edinburgh had a large con gregation, amounting, it is supposed, to 700 or 800, a part of the court of the Gordon Arms Inn having been fitted up for the occasion. At Keith, Mr. Cun ningham, from Edinburgh, preached on the part of the Commission, and was well attended ; but his hearers were chiefly of the Secession and other parties ; the parish church was well attended. At Rhynie, Glass, and Botriphnie, there was nothing particular to remark. —Aberdeen Journal. (Tory Paper.) The Aberdeen Tradesmen's Association in connec tion with the Church of Scotland, on - Monday adopted resolutions approving of the conduct of the Church, and pledging themselves to stand by their Clergy, and to do what in them lies to obtain trom the Legislature a proper settlement of the differences which at present exist betwixt the Church and the Civil Courts. MoItTLACH, DEC. 30, 1839.—Printed notices were extensively circulated among our parishioners, on Satur day, intimating that public serviee, in accordance with the sentence of the Commission of the General As sembly of the Church of Scotland, would be per formed by the Rev. Alexander Topp, of Elgin, in the large grain premises at the South end of the vil lage of Duffc own , aa dn t d o d - r ee m ms -morrow, rn purportingwt i , ng a , t w t h e e p rteosusualpresume, be h e fur from ; o r ni a the parishioners '' 't p ial a olzi r n i e 's g litO vio n iut e hr r e s et'h o e f asne lllarnoch, to their brethren of the other 4 ' vacant" parishes of Strathbogie. The attendance, however,at the grain premises, viz, the distillery, was far frOm being what the Reverend Gentleman who " per fortned"(as their handbill hath it) and his party expected. His congregation consisted, from a census taken on the spot by one of the audience, of twenty-one male adults (some of whom were Roman Catholics, some strangers), six female ditto, and about a score of children, who diverted themselves, during the time of worship, by irreverently playing " hide and seek" among the empty vats, occasionally diversifying their enjoyment by a bout at snow-ball, sub .Jove. Our excellent and talented young clergyman, Mr. Cruik shank, preached in his own pulpit, to a very nu merous congregation ; indeed, we have seldom, at this season, seen the Church so well filled ; and the dis course, which was most impressive, was listened to with the utmost reverence and attention. Happy are we to have it thus demonstrated, that the parishioners of Mortlach evince that respect for their own clergy men and the laws of the land, which is so becoming to them, both as Christians and as Scotchmen.—Aberdeen Constitutional. (Tory Paper.) ANTI-VETO MEETING AT ABERDEEN.--At three o'clock on the afternoon of Saturday, the Court house was crowded in every part by an assem blage of the most respectable and influential gentlemen we ever saw convened on any public occasion in Aber deen. The meeting took place in consequence of a re quisition addressed to the Lord Provost, requesting him to call it for the purpose of deprecating the continuance of the unseemly collision between the Church Courts and the law of the land, and of considering what steps it may be proper to take, in order to put an end to it. Thomas Blaikie, E,q., Lord Provost and Chief Magis trate of the city of Aberdeen, occupied the chair. The following are the resolutions passed at the meeting :- 1. That this meeting do express their firm adherence to the principle of a National Established Church, their grateful sense of the benefits which have flowed from the Church established by law in Scotland, and their earnest desire that it may be preserved and extended. 2. That, regarding it as the sacred duty of an Es tablished Church to promote peace and good will among men, this meeting deeply lament the heats and conten tions which have, in different parts of the country, re sulted from the resolution of a majority of the General Assembly to maintain and enforce a recent act of the Church, commonly called the " Veto Act," which has been judicially pronounced by the highest Civil Tribunal of the kingdom to be illegal. 3. That this meeting, while fully recognizing the right of parishioners to state and substantiate, before the competent Church Courts, every reasonable and well-founded objection to a Pres.artee, disapprove of the Veto Act, which introduces a principle foreign to the constitution of the Church, and the maintenance of which is, in the deliberate opinion of the meeting, fraught with consequences hurtful to the prosperity ana extension of the Church—to the just influence and inde pendence of her Clergy, and to the best and highest in terests of tile Christian people of Scotland. 4. That, deeply impressed with these sentiments, and anxious, as far as in them lies, to avert the evil conse quences which must result from the present anomalous position of the Church, the meeting consider it their duty to make this public profession of their opinions, in order that die deliberate convictions of so large a body of she attached friends of the Church may have their proper influence in other quarters ; and, with this view, they resolve tha a copy of these Resolutions be respect fully laid before the General Assembly of the Church at its first meeting ; that the same be immediately com municated to the Lord Advocate, and to the Members cf the Legislature connected with this and the neigh bouring districts ; and, if it shall afterwards be consi dered expedient, that petitions, founded on these resolu tions, be presented to both Houses of Parliament.—/bid. , D.

There was a tolerable attendance at the usual hour hour this forenoon, but no business of importance transacted. The fear that the Chester weights, or something pretty near, might be known, seemed to make it, if anything, rather more easy for looking at than a morning of business. Twelve were, in two instances, selected against the field, " all in" for a pony each. The parties, however, did not publicly name their horses. No offers were made on the field, but we should think 15 to 1 would be still laid. Lanercost would be backed at any thing beyond 20 to 1, which may be considered close upon the price of Sleight-of-Hand, Alalvolio, Abraham Newland, and Xing Cole. It would be folly to attempt a string of quotations, as we think it very probable something pretty definite will transpire to-morrow, respecting the handicap, when it is.a cer tainty that some change will follow; THE DEltay.—Theon was offered against at II to I at noon ; 18 to 1 would be taken on Launcelot ; Mayboy was laidagainst at 800 to 10, and 500 betted between him and Molineux, the same against Rezler who was backed yesterday at 500 to 10.

Sts,—As the proceedings of the unenfranchised. in reference to various Anti-Corn-law meetings lately held in different parts of the kingdom, have given rise to F much severity of comment, I take occasion to address you a few lines, in order to point out that the position in which they are placed is one which fully justifies them in their present course of action. The operatives have at present but one really influen tial right of freemen left them, namely, that of taking a part in public meetings, and letting their voices there be heard. Were they, however, to use this right only in accordan c e with the views of the enfranchised, it could he' worth to them nothing as an engine to acquire and secure the still more substantial right of the suff age ; to vote at public meetings is their right—to use that right so as to make it potential is their duty—a duty they owe to themselves and their posterity. Now they can effect this no other way than by al posing alll sole emc m ops e e,ri a in v s eu privilege ei e gi s w e They e y b roughtwithsw ht forwardwedge, should due ee 11 , x u t sa e en n ds theirion o s a c o nptr f i ' ens t ue h en e t t(o s ausffir it driveg,vee r e t i o t)t steadily home, till the necessity of granting them the franchise be admitted. Their right of constitutionally stopping all proceed. inns at public meetings is to them what the right of stop ping the supplies was to the House of Commons. It was upon that one solitary right of stepping the sup plies that the House of Commons raised that. superstruc ture of its privileges which has eventually rendered it constituent part of the Legislature. It was in vain to tell them that their conduct was fac tious ; that they ought not to stand in - the way of mea lures eonducive to the due governtc , cnt of the covrtiY.;' r`th at fic — siopihe'supplies; refuse to pass the Mutiny Act, would lead to anarchy. Regardless of consequences, and re solved to maintain the rights of their House, and those they represented, they were deterred by no arguments ad dressed to either their fears or their judgments, but re solutely persisted until, by the exercise, or threatened exercise, of their one undoubted privilege, they were en abled to assert the independence of their house. What, in fact, is the present state of the franchise ? Dependent upon property, the freedom of almost every man in the country, with the exception of the Peers, is a mere contingency upon property. The Nobleman is free in his zwn right, as a Member of the House of Peers, and it may be conceded that his eldest son hes, as it were, a prospective freedom to be exer cised on the death of his father. With these exceptions, and such as are possessed of entailed property, allothers arc liable, at any time, to be disfranchised by a reverse of fortune. It becomes, therefore, every Briton, with a noble en thusiasm, to come forward and urge on the cause of " Adult Male Franchise" —terms, I would observe, more accurate, but going all the lengths of what is sought for under " Universal Suffrage." I am, Sir, yours truly, WILLIAM S. VILLIERS SANKEY, M. A. London, Jan. 10th, 1840. BREAD TAX. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Mr. Sidney Smith delivered two lectures in Zion Chapel, Lees, near Oldham, on Thursday the 2J, and Friday the 3d inst., on the destructive and nation destroying Corn laws. The audiences were numerous, and very orderly, and Mr. Smith produced a deep im pression on their minds. Many of the working classes in this neighbourhood had been led to believe by designing men that dear Corn was necessary to keep up high wages. Mr. Smith pointed to their own experience as a refutation of so absurd a sentiment, demonstrating to their satisfaction that when grain was at little more than half its present price, wages were considerably more than at present ; and that as corn had grown dearer wages had neces sarily become less. At the conclusion of the last lecture the meeting unanimously resolved that a petition be sent for the im mediate repeal of the odious Corn-laws ;to be pre sented to both Houses of Parliament. Peter Sevdl-, Esq., of Welifield House, Lees, in the Chair. On Saturday and Monday Mr. Smith delivered two lectures in the populous and manufacturing parish of Saddleworth, in Ebenezer Chapel ; the audiences were most numerous and respectable, and he was received wite the greatest enthusiasm. The chapel held about 1,000 people, consisting of merchants, manufacturers, tradesmen and operatives--all was life and determina tion to have these unwise and destructive laws re pealed. And well they might, as nearly the whole working class of the parish are entirely out of employ (being woollen-manufacturers), and most of the usual business of the parish being with America, which is owing an immense sum to them for woollens, but the Corn laws say they must not be paid in flour—though both parties are anxious to make such a settlement, the one by paying in corn, and the other in receiving the article they stand in the greatest need of. One thing is clear, that if this question is not speedily settled, that mighty torrent of public opinion that carried the Reform Bill will be put in motion, and become irresistible. The middle and the lower classes are uniting in one firm phalanx. Such is the destitution, that in the once flourishing town of Ashton a subscription, amounting to some hun dreds, has been set on foot, to mitigatJ the sufferings of the unemployed and destitute.

The prisoner stated that all her relatives were dead, and that she, with a female ac quaintance, had contrived to support themselves by dress-making since March last. Latterly, however, they could not obtain employment, and, being in arrears of rent, they had been turned nut of their lodgings. She had entrusted the only few shillings she had in the world to her companion, who had contrived to give her the slip, and being thus left entirely destitute, she had wandered about the streets until, overcome by fatigu e and the cold, she had sunk on the step of a door unable to proceed any further. Mr. Dyer ordered her to be discharged, and the unhappy creature left the office de spondingly. THE GREAT NORTHERN MEETING.

John Jupp, a fine looking young man, only twenty-one years of age, was charged, at Woolwich Petty Sessions, on Friday. with enlisting in, and de serting from, no less than four different regiments. The prisoner, who declined saying anything in his defence, was committed to Horsemonger-lane Gaol. DRAYTON MANOR.—A very numerous party were to partake of the splendid hospitalities of Sir Robert and Lady Peel on Friday, tieing the last enter, tainment previous to the departure of the Right H en . Baronet for the metropolis to attend to his Parliamen tary duties. Tite monibers saw in this organization the ektnen:, of that address. prudence, skill, and resolution, whi_li were ,o eminently displayed by Tabeyrand • Tue iarg.. love of offspring, attachment, and love of approbation, opposed by olv a moderate self-esteem, combativeness, and destructiveness, indicate an amiable character. The deficiency of veneration, and of love of the won derful, rendered him incapable of religious feeling, an.l of reverence for great men and things, whith so often supplies its place. The smallness of benevolence and conscientiousness,prevented him, frombeinacortsoe.uous rectitude or PrainthrOPy. A long sketch of Talleyrand's life was given, and the author summed up by saying that, as a public man, he seems to have die played an extraordinary facility of accommodating. himself to, and availing himself of, circumstances ; to have pos sessed great prudence and finesse, and, when necessary, as in the consecration of the Bishops in 1791, to have exhi bited great firmness, self-possession, and energy ; to have been a faithful servant of every Government so long as it employed him, but to have been little scrupulous of overturning it afterwards ; and, above all, to have en. tertained a supreme contempt for all forms of govern ment, republican, constitutional, and monarchical ; that, again, in his private character he seems to have been as a friend and master more than irreproachable,-al most exemplary, and to have been fond of money, whe ther for show or beneficence, and careless of spending it. As to his repentance for his sins against the Roman Catholic Church, MM. Flourens and Pache assure us that the paper which he signed was presented to the poor old man when he tvas nearly insensible, and that he signed it, not knowing its nature, having the day before, when in possession of his understanding, put it _ _ aside, saying, Flu' s lard, Monsieur ; je 11C nee szis ja- mai: presse BUCKINGHAM CON .ERVATIVE ASSOCIATION. On Wednesday evening the third anniversary festi val of the Conservati, , e Association of Buckingham and its neighbourhood, was held at the Town Hall. Buck ingham. The morning was ushered in by the rinjn t : of bells and other demonstrations of joy, and during tiie day a numerous band of musicians paraded the town, with flags bearing inscriptions suitabte to the oceasion. His Grace the Duke of Buckingh nit and Citridos. President of the Association, took the chair ; and amongst other persons present wort Lord Orkney, Lord Norreys, Sir Wqt. Young. M.P. ; G. S. H ir court, Esq., M.P.. C. J. Du Pie, M.P. ; Sir ' 7 . F:•ec imantle, ALP, ; S r J. Chetwode, Bart. ; B. Eseott, Esq., Dr. Marsham, Rev. J. Coke ; Marquis of Chan , dos ; and B. D'lsraeli, M.P. The Company sat down to an early dinner. *The ' Duke of Buckingham of course was the , principal speaker, arid of the manner and mutter of his oration the following extract from his speech is a sufficing st.o cimen. 'Toryism - .did 'the - Corn• Liws, it -..i1l be seen, are the shibboleth of his Grace. .' He hoped ere long to see Sir Robert Peel at the ticitct of the Government, feinting .he Co• servatives flo,-..a-d until placed behind entrendmients from which no Ite•- dicals could dislodge teem. If an individual could look with a scrutinising eye, he might see the Ministers now shivering by the fire-side in Downing -street. which they I had too long occupied for their own good or that of the country.—( Cheers.) HOW often had he heard the ques tion asked, in the precints of the House of Corn eons —What will Sir Robert Peel do to-night ? and having ascertained that he meant not to oppose them, they have gone home contented. • But now their anxiety was intense, for they knew the honest views and the bold and honest hearts of the Conservatives. If the present men were to continue in office, he believed to his God they would ruin the country beyond redemption.—(Cheers.) • There was nothing they touched they had not injured. —(Cheers.) The Noble Duke then adverted t , a the policy of G^vernment with respect to open questions. He knew the bribes that were held out with respect to open questions. He knew that such a system was shut.- fling upon the part of the Government. to get rid of all responsibility, by saying that any given course was in accordance with the opinion of Parliament. A states man should take a hold and manly line of conduct, and . when he found it was pot in accordance with the feelings of Parliament, 'ne ought to take his hat, make his bow, and retire. He warned the meeting as agriculturists— • he warned them as Conservatives, that they bad every thing at stake.—( Hear.) They should follow the course they had hitherto pursued, and not listen to any alteration whatever of that scale of duties upon the importation of foreign corn which had, up to the present time, been their safeguard and protection." IRELAND. DUBLIN, JAN. 9. AGGREGATE MEETING.—The Meeting is to be held to-morrow, and will, we understand, be attended by many of the leading Reformers from all parts of the country. The grand object is to co-operate in securing a general re-registry of the dfforent liberal constituen cies throughout lreiand. To-day - Mr. O'Connell reiterated his intention to vote for the marriage portion ot Prince Albert ; but as no specific sum was stilted by him, it. is hoped that the lion. and Learned Geutk man's recent al.usion • - .r. the enormcus grant of 100,0001. a-year was than a lapses li»ti ice. NO-POPERY MEETING —After all the epho the Evening and ail the " nos, of f r.cparatioA," the Great Meeting" of the Orange Electu-s of "trinity College has been a most ludicrous taiiurr. Saunders devotes exactly fifteen lines to tte five hours' sp,,,ehifi cation, which is just three lines per hour.

It has withdrawn its confidenco from Lord Ehringtnn I His Lordship, however, mirabile dicta, still survives an unannihilated Lord Lieutenant. His Excellency. it must be admitted, has committed an unpardonable crime : on the 2d day of January, 1840, he invited Mr. O'Connell as a guest to his table. The offence, we know, is inexpiable, but we do implore the Mail not to visit the sin upon its readers by such inflictions as the anathema headed " Lord Ebrin,gton. Unmasked." This production of the Mail's pen may be in excellent taste—it may not be throughout more vituperative and vulgar than Orangemen delight in ; but its cruel absur dity is dangerous even to sober-minded men's lives. For our parts we laughed so heartily at the breadth of our Contemporary's extravagance, that, we thought it would be the death of us. REPRESENTATION OF DENEIGH‘--The two counties must be placed under the superintendence of staunch Liberals—Lord Dinorben or Mr. Biddulph will, most probably, be elected to the Lord Lieutenancy of Denbighshire; and the county of Merioneth expects a Mostyn for its head. The Government, we feel as sured, will do their duty in both cases. But the most pressing subject for consideration is, the duty which Sir Watkin's death will impose upon the electors of Den bighshire. Important as that duty is, we should yet have waived all immediate allusion to it, had not the professional Jack of the house of Wynnstay, and the immediate servants of the family, been already engaged in an active canvass for Sir Robert Cunliffe of Acton. The breath was scarcely out of the frame of the good Sir Watkin ere a placard on the subject was potcd on the walls of Wrexham.—Cmizerrron Herald. THE WELLINGTON TESTIMONIAL AT EDIN BURGH.—The sum already subscribed amounts to 3,0001. The Duke of Roxburghe has sent 100 guineas, and the Duke of Hamilton, Earl of Wemyss and March, and Earl of Hopetoun have respectively subscrtl ed 1,0001., and the Earls of Morton, Erroll, and Arlie; Lords Mo n t agu , Bl antyre , M urray , an d Ja rey ; Sir George Murr a y, an d Si r G eorg e Si nc l a i r , B art ., * . r .. &e., have put their names down fur liberal su ms within the last few days. At the second and third meetings of the Society, casts ix' the bead and skull of Talleyraad were laid before the members, and a paper was read upon his life and cerebral organisation, by Mr. Hudson Lowe. The head was of the large size stated by Gall to be necessary for the full enjoyment of mind ; the circum ference of the cast of the skull, taken from around the lower part of the forehead, being 23i inches. The remarkable feature was the great size of the whole of the lower or basilar region, anterior, median, and pos terior, compared with that of the higher or coronal. This indicated a predominance of the faculties of per er,tion over those of reasoning or reflection ; and of the inferior propensities of human nature over the higher todecd firmness was the only largely deve loped organ on the coroeal surface.
