Etttraturr. NOTICES. Re Cure of Cataract, with a Practical Summary of the best Modes of Operating (Continental and British) by Hugh Neill, Surgeon to the Liverpool Eye and 46 ar Infirmary. Liverpool : Deighton and Laughton. London : Churchill. Imperial Octavo with Tables. This work on the cure of cataract should be in the hands of ev ery stu d ent and operating surgeon. To the form er it is strongly recommended by its brevity (a great desideratum), and its being a compendium of the opinions of the best writers on the subject—evincing much re search and labour —while to the latter, the very practical natur e of the remarks contained in Mr. Neill's ar.nota !ions must prove eminently useful. And to all this work Is_ valuable fro m th e c l ear an d s i mple sty l e a d opte d b y M r . Neill in his writing ; a quality which so distinguishes the Works of Pott, Hay, Cooper, an d a ll ou r best surgeons. Students have invariably felt the want of works which would present within a small compass the opinions of the various authorities on the several branches of surgery, as they have but little time for wading through the many Monographs with which our libraries abound. Here they are presented to th em i n a conc i se an d p l eas i ng f orm , an d their discrepancies and errors carefully examined. The Practitioner h ere fi n d s as conc i se l y l a id b e f ore hi m (and yet sufficiently ample) Mr. Neill's opinions, the re sult of an experience in the institution of which he is the Operating surgeon, extending over a period of more than fo urteen years, and embracing between 700 and 800 cases of operation for the cure of cataract. Hi s synoptic tables of the accidents in keratomia are truly valuable. sfl‘,l,r. N e ill strongly advises the adoption cf the operation , reelination" i n pre f erence t o " ex t rac tion," and con- Nering how very few of our Engli:h surgeons have given the mselves to that particular operation (requiring so much dexterity and practice) he is right. Mr. Neill's mode of ?g at ing, and his lucid description of it cannot fail to be In tarpeparteinciated by all practical men. eratiori b t e he very grave questionwhen should performed ?" Mr. Neill observes— indirati:ang as cataract is immature, the operation is contra tong as ". Some contend that it is imprudent to operate so dialed by patient can see well with one eye—a precept repu ff nY others. There are those who operate upon the ected eye when the other perfectly fulfils its functions. They do so, becau oth these, tine sees better, you know, with tWo eyes than 6a u ty one ;, and because the presence of cataract in one ey e i s speedily followed by cataract in the other. It is a delusion, however, to suppose that operating upon the eye which already has cataract stops the consecutive development of the disease in the other. Besides it happens ( ver and over again that individuals carry a cotaract in one eye for many years, and even to the day of their death, without the fellow -optic becoming affected." at the same time he admits that it is no delusion to say that " the operation on one eye will sometimes save the ' other." Speaking of the " effects" of the operation, he says What cannot be too forcibly impressed upon all young operators: _ . '`• An injudicious operation sometimes sets up inflammation, and destruction of the eye so tampered with, thereby bringing surgery into discredit and producing a deformity which did not previously exist. Every surgeon, competent by observation to ear faithful witness, will avouch the declaration that inflam matory action, after an incompetent or mal-adroit operation, is not always confined to the eye operated on ; the sounder Organ may share the mischief and be equally destroyed. A Patient who could gee ` something,' before his eye has been Poked by experimentalists, may find himself quite blind after wards." The few typographical errors, such as " Procidentia Iritis," for " Procidentia Iridis," and " L'Appereil" for " l'Appareil" are unimportant, and the reader can easily correct Clem. The printer's devil should be more 'sharply looked after in provincial publications especially. We must confess that we do not know who the "Tele graphic poet of antiquity" was who wrote " Tempora 41litantur et nos mutamur in illis.” At the end of the work, which contains, be it observed, VanY excellencies of style and arrangement, the author ann rne into details about Chloroform, its early history, d its and azency in other surgical cases than eye-surgery; 1 °":411 we do not censure such, yet it seems to our view of v ie object of the work as presenting an illustration IS called in forensic logic " travelling out of hil!e take leave of our townsman in the best of good 2 ,„'"ur. however ; and, whilst venturing to criticise, we uld venture a hope that so creditable a production may meet with ample encouragement and success. The getting up of the book is very respectable, and the .IVolishers deserve encouragement beyond what usually 'la to the lot of provincial enterprise. 'WhittZings from the West. By Abel Log. London : Ackermann and Co., 96, Strand ; Liverpool : Joshua • W alinsley, Lord-street. Parts 1., 11., and 111. We have too long neglected to notice this lively pub .eation. which we learn is from the pen of a fellow vown-1 nan. Mr. Log is evidently and eminently possessed °I a rich vein of quiet humour, which rather appears to e b e aPe from him unwitti ng ly th an t o b e p ara d e d w ith a devy to excite admiration. He is equally at home in the escriptive ; and has viewed the splendid scenery, through 7 15 -ich he wiles along, with the feelings of a aqua who has to °4lo poetry in his composition. There is qintness, in his style—in the readiness and suddenness with 8 jell he jumps from grave to gay, from pictures of the i r 'lime to their ridiculous accompaniments—which is ~resistibly pleasing. We had some hearty laughs over fr o m e escription, in the first number, of the voyage out t, s the Mersey to the St. Lawrence •, and the descrip iii'n in the second of the arrival at Quebec, and of Cana -1:11 Society, is not only pleasingly given but contains teli which has escaped the observation of mere book- Mw t ,l t , io g tourists.

On the 14th of April a quarrel had arisen at a sale, at Old Hall, near Ulverston, between deceased and an old man named William Dixon, a carter. Levy bad been kicked so violently on the legs by Dixon as to cause his death. A verdict of Manslaughter was returned against Dixon, who absconded, and has not yet been apprehended. DEATH OF TOM CRIBS.—The celebrated Thomas Cribb, who in the days when pugilism was in the ascendancy, was styled the " Champion of England," died at his resi dence in the High-street, Woolwich, on Friday, aged 67. Mr. Cribb had for some years carried on the business of a baker and confectioner, and had been for so-ne time in a declining state of health, the cause of his death beinc , old age and debility. A subscription was annually made for him by his former companions, which placed him in very comfortable circumstances. INDUSTRY OF BRITISH ARTISTS. — Amid the " press of a tumultuous crowd," as an old chronicler writes, we strove on Monday last to get some idea of the 1,474 works of art which line the walls of the Royal Academy, and show what our artists have been at during the past year. Join these with the SOO works exhibit d by the Society of British Artists; 474 in the British Institution; 516 in the Free Exhibition at Hyde-park-corner ; 346 by the old Water-colour Society ; 413 by the new Water-colour Society, and at least 1,500 which have been returned to to the artists, for want of merit on the one s.de, or want of room on the other—making a total of 5,523—and they afford a sufficiently striking evidence of the industry of the British school, without counting the large number never exhibited at all, and the larger number shown only in the provinces. —Builder DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.-011 Wednesday last, Mr. Maughan, draper, Sheffield, left his residence at Wadsley Park, accompanied by his wife and two daughters, in a phaeton drawn by one horse, which in the course of the drive took fright and ran off at a rapid pace, when the carriage struck against the corner of a house, and threw them all with terrific violence out of the carriage, which was smashed to pieces. Mrs. Maughan was killed on the spot. Mr. Maughan was taken up apparently in a lifeless state, and afterwards conveyed to the I n fi rmar y, w h ere the best medical aid was called into requisition, but death relieved him from his suffering the same evening. The two daughters of Mr. Maughan were not seriously injured. DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE.—A most despicable outrage was committed last week on Miss Louisa Kingsman, a highly accomplished young lady, about 18 years of age, the daughter of the Rev. Mr. Kingsman, the vicar of Gilderstone, Bradford. She was crossing a field by a footpath, when a ruffian addressed her in the most inde cent terms; and, as she was attempting to hasten from him, he seized her by the arms and round the waist, drag ged her to a gravel-pit some four or five yards from the path, Lnd having thrown her down, commenced an attack which left little doubt of his intentions. Miss Kingsman resolutely fought with the ruffian, and having regained her feet, succeeded in escaping from him. A fine of £5 has been inflicted by a sagacious justice as adequate pun ishment on the offender ! UNSTAMMD PUBLICATIONS.-At the meeting of the Church of England Sunday School Institute, it was stated by the Rev. W. M. Whittemore, that there were 60 pe riodicals at a price from one halfpenny to three farthings, published every week. There were no less than 16,640,000 of these published annually, all of them bad in character, but some of them so unscrupulous in their tendency, as to make one thrill with horror- at their very titles. There was one with a weekly circulation of 100,000, which was said to be a great favourite in families, whose main fea ture was a reprint of the most objectionable French no vels. All these were read principally by the young, and often by the children of the poor, who had been educated in Sunday schools, and thus acquired a taste for reading. —John Bull. ALLEGED MURDER.—A man, named William James Lane, is now in custody, in Birmingham, waiting a coro ner's inquisition on the body of a man named James Birch, supposed to have been murdered on Sunday morning last. It appears Lane and Birch were fellow workmen. employed as pearl button makers, in Newtown-row. On Saturday night they went into the neighbourhood of Kingsbury, a few miles from Birmingham, to fish, and about five o'clock on Sunday morning, Lane returned home without his companion, and stated that he had lost him, but he could not give any satisfactory account of what became of him. On Monday a number of persons went to the river where they had been fishing, and found the body of Birch in the water, and several severe bruises upon various parts of his person, which evidently indicated the unfortunate man had received ill-treatment before his death. Suspicion then fell upon Lane. DETERMINED SUICIDE OF MR. REDHEAD YORKE, M.P.—On Friday, shortly after noon, a most determined act of suicide was committed by Mr. Redhead Yorke, M.P. for the city of York, and son-in-law of the late Lord Brandon. The agent chosen by the unfortunate gentle man to effect his rash purpose was prussic acid, and the locality where he swallowed it, the Regent's-park, on the green sward nearly opposite the Glocester-gate, and within a few hundred yards of the York and Albany. A number of persons soon gathered round the unfortunate gentle man, but he died almost immediately. The deceased at tended the House of Commons the previous evening, and on Friday morni ng h e wen t ou t a ft er b rea kf as t w ith ou t doing anything to excite observation. He was about 50 years of age, and has always been considered of a some what eccentric frame of mind. THE STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. ANNUAL REPORT, 1848. The TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of this Company took place on Tuesday, the 15th of February, within the Company's Office, No. 3, George-street, Edinb urg h , CEORGE MOIR, Esq., Advocate, in the Chair. The Report and Statements submitted by the Directors con tained a very satisfactory account of the progress of the Insti tution during the year 1847. It was reported:— That the NUMBER OF POLICIES for Life Assurance issued by the Company from 15th November, 1846, to 15th No vember, 1847, was 621. That the Sums AssunED during the same period, con tained in these Policies, amounted to £443,578 4s. 11d. That the NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS for Policies made to the Company, and from which the above transactions were selected, was 804, containing proposals for Assu rance to the extent of •."591,663 Bs. That the ANNUAL REVENUE of the Company, as at 13th November, 1847, was £131,316 10s. 7d. That the WHOLE AMOUNT OF ASSURANCES covered by the Company's Policies, in force at 15th November, 1847, was £3,252,090 14s. HA. The Report then proceeded as follows: "The past year has been marked by the most extraordinary features as regards commercial affairs and general credit; but, while all classes of society, especially the mercantile commu nity, and our public institutions connected with the general affairs of commerce, have felt the pressure of the times, the Life Assurance Institutions of the country have stood unaf fected by the crisis. Nothing can tend more to extend confi dence in these Institutions than this result; and it is to be hoped they will always be found affording protection and dis pensing benefits to all connected with them, unaffected by those periodical changes. " Notwithstanding the unfortunate position of the country during the past year, the amount of new business transacted by this Company has exceeded to a large amount the business of the previous year. The claims during the year have been greater in proportion than usual ; but when the increased mortality throughout the kingdom generally is remembered, the Directors consider they have reason to be %tell satisfied with the results.". After the Report and Statements were read, the Chairman congratulated the Meeting on the favourable position of the Company and its prospects generally, and again brought under notice the most proullinent features in the Report. He drew attention to the great increase of the Business, the increase of the Revenue, and the rapid accumulation of the Company's Funds, which, it appeareu, HAD BEEN MORE TITAN DOUBLED DURING THE LAST FIVE YEARS. The following Abstract, showing the new business transacted by the Company annually since 1842, was referred to, as exhi biting in a marked degree the growing estimation of the STANDARD in public favour: — Number of Corresponding Sum New Policies issued.

The information on which Mr. Mitchel has been com mitted to prison, charges him with publishing in the United Irishman of the 6th and 13th instant certain arti cles tending " to compass and deprive our most gracious lady the Queen from the style, honour, and royal name of the Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom, and to levy war against her Majesty within the said United Kingdom, n order by force and constraint to compel her Majesty to change her measures and counsels." On Mr. Mitchel's arriving at Newgate he was handed over to the gaoler. Ile was then brought into a room on the upper story of the prison, with a single window look ing into Green-street. It contained no bed or bedstead. and he was informed that such was the apartment as signed to him, and that he might have straw to sleep on. that they had nothing else. Indignantly refusing this " kind accommodation," and resolved to spend the night walking about his cell, he was told that any further clnveni ence he might require he would be permitted to have, if brought to him. He sent to his own house for a hair mattrass, which was at once brought, and having settled it on two or three forms, he passed the night there. On Sunday morning, at an early hmir, Mr. Mitchel's lady came to the prison and was permitted to see him.. When it became known through the city that Mr. Mitchel was an inmate of Newgate, numbers of his personal friends, and many whose political doctrines did not exactly coin cide with his, visited him. He was allowed to receive his friends and legal advisers in the prison yard, a narrow flagged square. TRIAL OF SMITH O'BRIEN. Yesterday, the trial of Mr. w. S. O'Brien commenced in the Queen's Bench, Dublin. The Court was crowded in every part, and the traverser, who was attended by his securities and Mr. J. P. "Meagher, whose trial is fixed for to-day, was loudly cheered. A jury (one of whom is a member of the Society of Friends) having been sworn, the Attorney-General, in a very able address, stated the particulars of the case against the prisoner. He was charged " with (being a wicked, seditious, and turbulent person) having delivered a speech on the 15th March, in Dublin, for the purpose of exciting hatred and contempt against the Queen, and inducing the people to rise in re bellion." The meeting in question was that at which an address of congratulation to the French republic was carried. The speech and address having been proved by Mr. Hodges, the government reporter, Mr. Butt, Q.C., rose to address the Court for the traverser. After alluding to the high family of Mr. O'Brien—" a family so ancient that the Viceroy who prosecutes him is proud to boast relationship to his blood," he said that Mr. O'Brien was not a man who had nothing to lose, but a man of fortune a man of station, who had embarked and risked all he possessed in that, whether it be right or wrong, which he believed to be for his country's good. He then went on as follows :—" Now that I have met and conversed with him, as between counsel and client, I can confidently say, that there is not in the inmost recesses of his heart a single thought that is not worthy of a high and noble-minded man ; and when I reflect that the effect of a verdict of guilty will be to con sign such a man to prison, I am, I confess, anxious for you, gentlemen, for himself, and for the country—for, believe me, all cannot be right in a country in which such a man as Wm. S. O'Brien is guilty, if guilty you pronounce him to be, of sedition." At the conclusion of this sentence, the majority of the bar, together with the ladies and gentlemen in the gal leries,• rose, and loudly cheered the sentiments of the learned counsel. - THE COURT.--I beg to state, once for all, that if there be attempted a second manifestation of this kind, I will order the court to be cleared. The learned counsel expressed his regret at the occur rence, and then went on to contend that Mr. O'Brien was a firm supporter of the monarchy, and that he had made no attempt to subvert the authority of the Queen in Ireland, but merely wished to restore the ancient consti tution. Mr. Sergeant Warren rose to reply, and was speaking when the post left last night. SCOTTISH AMICABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. HEAD OFFICE-111, BUCHANAN-STREET, GLASGOW, PRESIDENT.

SIR S I have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from pain, and as helpless as an infant: not even a finger could I move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me. dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain months in my deplorable situation. Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis appear; in a week I was capable of walking about my room, and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi cine was enabled to leave London.

Si R,—l have hitherto had a prejudice against having recourse to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris, I was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called " Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude dne to you to say in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, I felt the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that which was, from its novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom rom nain. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I have not lived in vain.—With many thanks, I am yours, H ENRI V I LLENNEVE. three t rY y° ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in s n,_l l f 4 e , e ß li e n lm d o u n t t y -p b l o a u c n e, d lV to a a n c d k s n ic o o w rch ed -r g o e a , d t , ha O t ct a . ft 2 e B r , 1844 uff e . the hip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to though two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder. a u p r p e l m i a b t r i o o c n a s t i T o i vas r d e s l t ia o v r • e e d t ht to e m p 13ea usuals to healthsa v t ; 11 ; n t d a , ft a e l r . --I am, Sir, gratefully yours, EDWARD NOYES.

PARKES,..in making her appearance before the Public, with herlast " GRAND CLUB SUBSCRIP TION," is anxious to address a few words to those of her Friends, Patrons, and Subscribers in Liverpool, who were mem bers of her " Su plemental" Scheme, which—opening in January and closing in July last—was announced at its corn nenceme.nt as being intended for a final distribution of that ►magnificent property, in the Fine Arts of this country, which Mrs. Parkes has had the honour of freeing from monopoly, and throwing open, with easy and attractive acceptability, to the possession of the Public. Mrs. Parkes, in then announcing that "SUPPLEMENT" as final, did not intend the old dramatic deception of " more last words;" no second farewell benefit was. within her contempla • tion ; and she looked to the fall of the curtain with the belief that it would never be raised again by her; was thankful for what her friends were doing, andlooked to bring her enterprise to a conclusion, so as to make it a pleasurable memory to all engaged in its pursuit; but, under the. force of circumstances, the curtain fell, as it were, in mid-performance ! With a sale of only five thousand portions nut of the ten thousand proposed, the summer season forced on the close of the distribution, and Mrs. Parkes was only consoled for her large sacrifices, at the half-way termination of her " Supple mental Subscription," by the belief that its members and the public would give her credit for honesty and enterprise in the cause of Art, and for caring less for her profit than their praise, in promoting the exercise of its influence, and the freedom of its trade. It is now that the noble property still remaining from that "Supplement" upon her hands suggests, and indeed demands, that Mrs. Parkes should raise that curtain which had prema turely fallen, for the purpose, as it were, of renewing the per formance, and really concluding her engagement with the pub lic. And let it be impressed, that in so doing she brings a bill of fare so additionally powerful and attractive—so replete with strength, novelty, and riches, that all who encouraged her Supplemental scheme may assure themselves of advantage and satisfaction from the more brilliant finale of this last "GRAND CLUB SUBSCRIPTION." None of her old friends can be by possibility disappointed; on the contrary, she holds out to them a prospect to make the " Pleasures of Hope," in the treasures of her parting distribution, exceed the " Pleasures of Memory," derivable from the success and satisfaction of each that has gone before, From the liberal spirit of commercial Liverpool, she expects a due appreciation of the motives that have spurred her on; and she confidently appeals to her former subscribers to in crease the value of their patronage with a muster-roll of new friends—remembering that the importance of her last "GRAND SUBSCRIPTION" is enhanced by a leading allotment of "Tit REE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED GUINEAS'," and that the splendid LIBRARY CABINET, magnificently sculptured, in which its unique treasure is contained, is only the richest of the other elegant pictorial cabinets, and unrivaled framings which sur round so many of her allotments with every variety of device.

I am your obedient servant, "THOMAS HAIGH, Woollen Merchant, " New Brown-street and Market-street. " Messrs.

Near to it a large ' Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) chambered Safe, full of valuable Books and Documents before the Fire, was found to contain nothing but tinder and ashes after it ! In tne numerous accidental Fires and experanental tests which Milners' Safes have been exposed to—every description of Safe in use—Fireproof (so called) or otherwise have been burnt nut beside them, confirming the recommendation of the scientific and practical authorities who have tested them, and the Patentees' during seven years' active working of their patent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains nor cost in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to secure depositories for llooks, Documents, a na-VaribreZ'YTii chiding the strongest Wrought-iron Safes, Cl ose t s , and Doors in the World. lined with their unenualled Fire-resisting Cham bers.

THE MOST DURABLE OUT-DOOR PAINT YET INVENTED. CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other Governments, the Hon. East India Company, the New River Company, the Principal Dock Companies, and other Public Manufactured by \V AurER CARSON, (Successor to the Inventors.) 15, TOKEN HOUSE YARD, (back of the Bank of England,) London, The An'ti-Corrosion Paint has been used by tb T,n. Board of Onhinuce for upwards of half a century. NI ho li:ive proved it to pivvent rust or corrosion on iron lonzer aiul better than the very best white lead or any other description of Paint ; and in consequence of its possessing this invaluable quality, all the iron guns and gun carriages, both for land and sea service, have been painted with it for the above period. It has also been used in great quantities by other public bodies, and by numbers of Gentlemen of the first distinction, to preserve wooden houses, farm and other outbuildings, conservatories, park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, copper, zinc, lead, old compo, &c. fronts, and tiles to represent slating. It will be found a very superior preservative of iron steam boats, iron bridges, piers, or any other extensive iron works.
