Moon, of the Square, Winchester :—" To Professor Holloway.—Sir, — l beg to in form you that for years I was a sufferer from Chronic Rheumatism, and was often laid up for weeks together by its severe and painful attacks. I tried every thing that was recommended, and was attended by one of the most eminent Surgeons in this town, but obtained no relief whatever, and fearing that my health would be entirely broken up. I was induced to go into our County Hospital, where I had the best medical treatment the institution afforded, all of which proved of no avail, and I came out no better than I went in. I was then advised to use your Pills, and by persevering with them was perfectly cured, and enabled to resume my occupa. tion ; and although a considerable period has elapsed, I have felt no return whatever of the complaint.— I am, Sir, &c., " Oct.

As a proof of their efficacy in bilious and liver complaints, I may mention the following case. A jady of this town, with whom I am personally acquainted, for years was a severe sufferer from disease of the liver and digestive organs. Her medical at tendant assured her that be could do nothing to relieve her sufferings, and it was not likely she could s urv ive man y months. This announcement naturally caused great alarm among her friends and relations, and they induced her to make a trial of your Pills, which so improved her general health that she was induced to continue them until she re ceived a perfect cure.

TUESDAY MORNING, JAN. 31, 1854. THE QUEEN'S SPEECH. Tiffs day (Tuesday) is fixed for the opening of the Session of Parliament, and, agreeably to ancient usage, HER MAJESTY will, at two o'clock this after noon, proceed in state to the House of Lords, and there deliver the speech which Her Ministers have set down for her. The intense anxiety which pre vails in the public mind, as to the state of political affairs with reference to the protracted dispute between Russia and Turkey, the very equivocal position which has been taken by the ABERDEEN Ministry on the question, the threatened infliction of a Reform Bill to unsettle the existing state of the representative system, and the anticipated break-up of the Coalition, have given to the opening of the present Session (as we have before stated) a degree of interest amounting to a state of excite ment to read the speech. We have therefore made preparations for a copy at the earliest moment by electric telegraph, and shall publish it in a SECOND EDITION. Minister to Vienna to arrange the terms of settle ment ; and so the public mind is allowed, from day to day, to alternate between hope and fear while the power of forming any intelligible.opinion2 as to the course of events for the future appears as - distant as ever. The long-expected event of the entry of the combined fleets of England andPiance, into the Black Sea has been accomplished, lift ur such a manner that Russia has refused to consider it a easus belli, without an express declaration.on the part of the respective Governments, which neither of them seem inclined to give. The pro fessions of the several parties who have interfered' are all for peace, while the actions of the principals in the quarrel are all warlike, and, in the mean- time, the public, who may have the largest interest in the settlement of the question, are left to look on, and wait until the game of diplomacy be played out. It must still be apparent that much, if not all, the evil which has arisen from this long pro crastination is owing to the temporising policy pursued by our own Government. France was the first to blame, by giving cause for Russian in terference, but she has endeavoured to compensate for her fault by taking the most prominent part in subsequent negotiations ; while England, who had the greatest claim to pre-eminence on every consideration, allowed the opportunity for effective interference to pass by, and is now driven to the alternative of being, perhaps, involved in an ex pensive war or consenting to an ignominious with drawal from the affair, with consequences even more disastrous. It is almost useless to reason on the information contained in the daily accounts received by telegraph, so little reliance is to be placed on them ; and we must, therefore, be con- tent to wait until we are in possession of more authentic intelligence. We cannot, however, yet believe that the EMPEROR of RUSSIA. will foolishly venture on an encounter in which he is sure to be worsted, whatever part Austria may ultimately decide upon taking ; but we rather incline to the opinion that the arts of diplomacy will be ex hausted, or driven to the verge of forbearance, in order to gratify, if possible, the strong desire of the EMPIROR to retain the possession of the Danubian provinces. The Address in answer to the Speech will be moved, in the House of Lords, by the Earl of CARNARVON, and seconded by Lord DUCIE, and in the House of Commons it will be moved by LORD CASTLETON, and seconded by Mr. THOMSON HAN KEY. In the subsequent debate the interest will, of course, be centered on the Eastern question, but the anticipated explanation from Lord PALMERS TON, as to the cause of his resignation and subse quent resumption of office, will necessarily excite considerable attention. Indeed it is rarely that the business of Parliament has been commenced so full of important consequences to the well-being of the State. The country is on the verge of being sud denly awakened from the long peace in which her commerce has flourished, beyond any period of her history, and should filo impending war prove dis astrous, the blame will rest upon the heads of the Ministers whose dismissal from office is now so earnestly desired. The great experiment of a coali tion nas proreu a Miltua c, aaal. made of the surplus revenue, for which the Ministry are really entitled to no credit ; the other side of the account shows a fearful set-off in the Funds fallen ten per cent., labour at war with capital, food at high prices, and the prospects for'the future more gloomy than ever. It will require a con siderable amount of official audacity for the QUEEN to be instructed to congratulate her loyal subjects on a state of prosperity which they do not expe rience, and the ingenuity required to gloss over a confession of failure will render the Speech of 1854 a memorial document. THE public mind has been appalled, within the last few days, by the many frightful and disastrous shipwrecks which have followed each other with fearful rapidity. Scarcely had the news been received of the wreck of the San Francisco steam ship, with hundreds of human lives, than the John o' Gaunt, a richly freighted ship, from India, was totally lost near Holyhead ; and ere the rescued seamen had reached their homes, came the still more appalling news of the loss of the Tayleur, on the coast of Dublin, and the sacrifice of nearly four hundred of our fellow-creatures, who were sud denly snatched into eternity, with hardly a mo ment's warning of their awful fate. Two days only had elapsed from their leaving this port, full of hope and expectation, on board a ship of which every one was loud in its praise for the qualities which should ensure a safe and speedy voyage, until the time when she was buried beneath the waves over which she had floated so proudly, and in which the majority of her living freight found a premature death-bed. So horrible a catastrophe, under such extraordinary circumstances, has natu rally excited considerable discussion as to the pro bable causes ; but, in the midst of conflicting testimony from those imperfectly acquainted with all the facts, it would be but justice to the parties immediately concerned to withhold the expression of any decisive opinion until the inquiry, which has already been commenced by competent ' authority, shall have been brought to a conclusion. Much has been said about the compasses not being properly insulated, of the crew being inefficient, of the new ropes not working easily, and of the ship not being under control, but these are details which will receive due investigation. It is, how ever, evident that the weather has been most severe, and this was further proved by the loss of the fine steam-ship Olinda almost immediately after starting on her voyage to the Brazils. We may remark that the complaint as to the crew of the Tayleur being composed chiefly of Chinese and Lascars affords another proof of the folly and danger arising from the alteration in the Naviga tion-laws, by which the obligation that the crew of a British ship should consist of at least three fourths British seamen was abolished. Some check was also afforded by the conditions of Insur ance requiring a ship to be efficiently manned in order to render her seaworthy, but this has been taken away ; and now, so long as a ship has the requisite number in her crew, it matters little as to the quality of the men of which it allay be coin- THE question of Peace or War, although the one most often asked, appears still to be the most difficult to be answered. Indeed, it may be said to be in the same state that it was six months ago, and the ultimate result equally as bard to be solved. One day the tenour of the dispatches is all for war, the EMPEROR of RUSSIA. is exulting in his position as Champion- of the Cross, and will hazard every thing to drive the Moslem from rope. The intelligence of the next day speaks of peaceful probatilitip i and t h e clispatvh of a %livid THE reform.of the law has occupied a prominent position in the public mind during the last few years, and much has been done, not only to abate the enormous expenditure which formerly was in evitable, but also to abridge the time employed, and facilitate the arrival at a decision. Much, however, remains, to be done, and not the least im portant to the welfare of the community will be an improvement in the present tedious and expen sive process for the transfer of real property. A step in this direction has been taken, and the Lon don. Gazette of last week announces the appoint ment of a committee of inquiry, with a view to an alteration in the law. In the choice of the com missioners no fault can reasonably be found, and it is to be hoped that the result of their labours will be a measure to facilitate the sale and pur chase of land, so as to obviate those enormous ex penses which have hitherto operated to deter investments in this description of property. It is an injustice almost universally felt, that no sale of land can take place without so large a payment for law costs. as almost virtually to confiscate a small estate ;- and, while this is chiefly rendered neces sary by the attempt to provide against future difficulties from doubtful titles, there is little in the boasted. skill of our lawyers if they cannot de vise some remedy for so obvious a defect. If the transfer of land were rendered as little difficult, or nearly so, as that of ordinary merchandise, or the ownership in a vessel, it would not only enhance the value of real property, but enable men of moderate means to acquire a real stake in the country by becoming proprietors, while full se curity might be given for retaining that system of entail by which the heirs to estates are invested with only a life interest in the property, in order to maintain the families of the landed gentry against improvidence and profligacy. It will be observed that the issue of this com mission, though commented upon last session, has been deferred to the eve of another session of Par liament, as though it were an unwilling duty, which had been delayed as long as possible, and performed at the last moment, in order to furnish a paragraph for the Royal Speech. The Ministers feel conscious of their many faults of omission and commission, and may attempt to cover their de fects by allusions to the Royal Commission on the transfer of land, and mighty promises of the great things they intend to do for the improvement of the law. We, however, cannot forget that it is to the EARL of DERBY and his Chancellor, Lord ST. LEONARD'S, that we are indebted for more legal reforms, effected within a few months, than ever the Whigs brought about within twice as many years. These are facts which should not be lost sight of, should the country again be called upon to pronounce a verdict on political parties ; and there must be complete obliviousness of past events, it any reliance be placed on the promises of the party now in office. THE men of Manchester have pronounced upon the subject of the new Reform Bill, and, if we may measure the influence of the leaders of the party by their consummate assurance, we are enabled to form some idea of their projects Co frame the representative system in order to suit their own • purposes. At the Reform Banquet, on Tuesday, the ingredients of which were tea, coffee, and ac companiments, Messrs. COBDEN, BRIGHT, and Co. indulged their hearers with much declamation on their notions of Parliamentary Reform, diversified with sneers against the rest of the people of Eng land for wishing the national honour to be vindi cated by resistance to Russian aggression. We shall not now stop to comment on this phase of COBDENIC policy, which, like the rest, is diluted by unmitigated selfishness, but turn to those in sidious attacks on the Constitution which have received the fiat of Manchester approval. The chief point, as possessing at least a local interest, is that which claims for Lancashire, on the simple ground of population, an increase of representa tives from twenty-six, the present number, to at least fifty. If the demand were confined to a re division of the county, so as to have two additional county representatives, there would appear to be no reasonable objection ; but to confer the electoral franchise on the towns merely because they con .. tain a certain number of inhabitants, is not only absurd, but plainly indicative of the ulterior de signs of the party. They would condemn to poli tical extinction the boroughs which now return representatives, because the electors are so'few in number, and yet confer the privilege on places where, notwiinsialimus tam puitiauivu, must be lowered to a miserable standard, or the number of electors must be fewer still. But, before the question of mere numbers be al lowed as an element in Parliamentary representa tion, some regard should be paid to the quality of the individuals who swell the population returns. It may suit the purposes of the Manchester party to have the influence of a majority in Parliament, but it would conform neither with the safety and welfare of the kingdom, nor the character of the House of Commons, for its members to be the chosen of the manufacturing operatives of Lanca shire towns. The Radicals boast of their political intelligence, but we should look in vain for intel ligence of any kind, even the simplest principles which teach man to regard the interests of himself and family, in the insane conduct of the dupes of gitators who turned out in Preston, Wigan, and other places, and endured months of privation and suffering in order to gain an impossible object. And, yet, upon such men, so destitute of morality and common sense, these modern Reformers would confer political privileges, for no ether motive than that they might be easier tools of designing knaves. It is the policy of the Romish Church to govern through ignorance, and these political jesuits seek to compass their means by the same ends. Another point insisted upon as a measure of reform is the adoption of voting by ballot, a system SO utterly repugnant to all English notions of honour, honesty, ,and fair dealing, that it would be almost a waste of time to expose its enormity. The pretence is a protection against bribery and intimidation; but, in reality, it would offer a cloak AIISTRALIA.—The next mail will be forwarded by the for wholesale bribery, without the means of detec- Bosphorus, from Southampton, on Saturday. tion ; and against intimidation, where such could whose FRIDI t Y, Jhn Feen i y, child two . years of age, scaldeds re si de by m a 3 now be exercised, it would prove no defence what- accidentally ynpot Co fo urt,.

LAST, night an adjourned vestry meeting was held in the large hall of the Lamb Inn, Wavertree, for the pur pose of determining whether a cemetery or burial ground shall be formed under the provisions of the 15th and 16th Vic. c. 85 ; and 16th and 17th Vic. c. 134. The meeting was not numerously attended. Mr. DAVIES moved that Mr. Picton be appointed chair man, which was carried. Mr. PICTON explained that the present was an adjourned meeting, and had been called for the purpose of receiving a report from the committee which the law clerk would read. The Clerk then read the report, of which the following is the substance :—" The Committee beg leave to report to the adjourned vestry meeting, that the Marquis of Salisbury and Mr. Potter were written to, and that the Marquis of Salisbury replied, through Mr. George Whit ley, that he regretted that he must decline to sell any land adjoining to the present churchyard at Childwall, for the purpose of enlarging it, as the increasing popula- ' tion of the parish rendered any addition to the present burying ground as objectionable to his property, as its present situation was inconvenient to the different town ships. That Mr. Potter replied, that the price for the -e 1-" A diwc.llincr lionize and buildings, would be £5,500. " The Committee, having received such replies, recom mends to the adjourned vestry meeting, that Mr. Potter's land be not bought, in consequence of the high price he asks for the same. Also, that it appearing to this Com mittee that a piece of land, containing about ten statute acres, situate on the north side of the London and North western Railway, on Mill-lane, belonging to Hugh Hornby, Esq., would be a very eligible piece of land for the purpose of forming a cemetery thereon, this Committee recom mends that application be made to Mr. Hornby, to ascer tain whether he is willing to sell the land for such purpose." Mr. FINGLAND said that, as there did not seem to be a very great amount of public interest excited in the move ment, and as there was no very obvious or pressing neces sity for proceeding with the undertaking, he should, under the circumstances, move that further consideration of the _ subject be adjourned sine die. _____ _— Mr. DAVIES seconded the motion, which, after a few remarks from Mr. ANDREWS, assistant overseer, and from the chairman, was carried nem. con. The CHAIRMAN said, as the original object of the movement was more with a view to procuring suitable accommodation for the burial of the poor, than for pro curing additional burying ground for those in easy circumstances, something ought still to be done to carry that object into effect. That, he considered, would be most suitably done by purchasing land in Wavertree Church-yard, sufficient in quantity to provide burial ground for those who would require to be buried at the expense of the township. These, he was given to understand, amounted in number to about twenty annually. For such a purpose the public was bound morally and legally to make provision. Mr. MARRIN observed that any individual or body could purchase in Wavertree Church-yard land at the rate of Lo ss. for a burial breadth. This might be dug as deep as was deemed necessary, and so one breadth might be made to contain ten or twelve bodies. Mr. DAVIES (after a few remarks from the chairman, Mr. Coward, and others) moved that it be recommended that, in the event of Childwall Churchyard being closed, the Vestry purchase a sufficient number of burial breadths of land in Wavertree Churchyard, or elsewhere, to provide for the decent interment of the poor. Mr. ANDREWS seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously ; as was also a vote of thanks to the chairman, after which the meeting separated. TAYLEUR RELIEF FUND. TO' THZ COMMITTEE CONDUCTING THE SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE RELIEF OF THE SUFFERERS BY THE WRECZ OP THE TA.YLEUR. Maritime Passengers' Assurance Company, Chief Office, 4, Moorgate-street, London, Jan. 28th, 1854. Gentlemen,—l have the pleasure of informing you that the directors of this company have voted the sum of Z5O as a contribution to the fund you are now raising for the relief of the sufferers by the late melancholy wreck of the Tayleur. The object of the company being to enable both mariners and passengers, by payment of a small premium, to insure their lives against accident at sea, the directors feel peculiarly called on to contribute to a fund for the re lief of those wbo had, unfortunately for themselves or their survivors, neglected to avail themselves of the advantages 'it offers. I trust I may be excused for observing that did mariners and passengers more generally take the precau tion to insure their lives against accident at sea, the ap peals to private benevolence, which are now so frequently made, would be unnecessary.

[A meeting of the subscribers to the relief fund was held yesterday.—Tne report will be found in our third page.] ON SUNDAT night, a tide watcher, named Patrick Lovell, 27 years of age, fell from the ship Falcon into the George's-dock, and was drowned. ROMAN CATHOLIC SornEE.—Last night the Music hall, in Bold-street, was the scene of what was professed to be the first of a series of annual soirees on behalf of a Romish Educational Institution, recently established in Hope-street, called " The Catholic Institute." A number of Popish magnates had been announced, and amongst them Mr. Lucas, of the Tablet, but that gentleman did not appear, although a priest had waited for him all a previous night on the platform of the railway-station at Chester, whilst another had gone off to Birmingham to endeavour to secure his attendance. The place was half filled. Lord Camden (who is he ?) occupied the chair, and amongst other distinguished guests was the Rev. Dr. Goss, 1 who is, it appears, "the Bishop of Liverpool," Mr. Blundell, and a number of the Roman Catholic laity, whilst a swarm of priests of various orders filled the platform and the reserved seats. The chairman's speech was principally a lament that Oxford and the other universities had passed from Romish hands. He added, however, that they might derive " some consolation from perceiving the wonderful effect and power of faith, which had been able, notwithstanding the absence of instruction, to preserve a superiority in moral character, and which, notwithstanding all that had been said against it by its adversaries, no one could deny was manifest in the Irish people." This was hailed with loud cheering.—The Rev. W. H. Anderson, late vicar, it was paraded, of St. Margaret's, Leicester, then delivered a discourse on " Catholic literature." He spoke of the Reformation as that " schism" and " lament able event which had occurred in the history of England," and then proceeded curiously to contend that Romanists had advantages as to literature which no one else possessed. The first was that they belonged to a " universal, world wide church." He said their path of duty was in Eng land, but it was not inconsistent with that to say, that their affections were in Rome. (Loud cheers.) He next argued that the Romish church had always excelled in the arts of design, drawing the inference that Roman ists must naturally excel both in painting and sculpture, inasmuch as they felt spiritually what was visibly beautiful. Dante was a superior poet to Milton, because his images were based on distinct and definite designs. He thought they would yet have possession again of the ancient seats of learning in England, and they might also win back what was more precious than stones and mortar they might win back to the true faith the great palpitating heart of England. (Cheers.)—The Rev. Mr. Nugent then apologised for Mr. Lucas's absence.—Mr. A spinall pleaded that the Institute was £5OO in debt ; and the company were after wards addressed by the " Bishop" and other parties, the proceedings being protracted till a very late hour. TIIE Livsaaroor. DISPENSARIES. — The annual meet ing was held on Friday, at the office in South Castle street. The chair was occupied by Mr. Charles Booth; and amongst those present were the Revs. C. H. Burton and Cyrus Morrell, Messrs. T. Bourne, F. W. Mill: Payne, Hornby, W. Macgregor, Humble, Clarke, Fletcher, Lowndes, P. M. Carson, Behrend, H. M. W. King, &c. The Rev. C. H. Burton read the report for the past year. The long standing debt, which, at the commencement of the past year, amounted to £333 15s. 11d. has been reduced to £159 17s. 11d. There is a diminution in the expenditure, as compared with the previous year, of £5l 7s. 5d., which has been effected by the exercise of strict economy, wherever practicable, without impairing the efficiency of the institution. The total nnmber of patients during the past year at both dispensaries was 35,414 which, although a great number, was 3,935 less than the previous year. Of this number 14,508 received medicine at the North Dispensary, and 7,894 were visited by its medical officers. At the South Dispensary, 10,335 patients received advice and medicine, and 2,657 were visited at their own houses, making the total named. Although the balance-sheet showed a better result than last year, there was a decrease in the total receipts for the year amounting to £642 2s. 9d., chiefly under the head of donations and legacies ; and the committee, therefore, urged the importance of having a regular income, which would only be attained by an increase in the number of annual subscribers. Judging from the present aspect of things, the severity of the winter, the dearness of pro visions, and the already increased sickness in the town, the committee anticipated that during the ensuing year the beneficial operations of the institution would be more than usually needed. The treasurer's report showed that the total receipts for the year were £2,685 55., the total ex were adopted, and Pi e 2 itti r.► 22,sl 2 . .L 7 . s. m,.. Th ia e ui r 2E r i ts also to ust.umuon, and the honorary medical officers. In moving the latter, Mr. Burton said that, in the course of his visits to the poor, he heard them bear voluntary testimony to the kindness displayed towards them by the officers of tho institution. Mr. llornby, in moving a vote of thanks to the clergymen of the Established Church who had preached sermons on behalf of the charities of the town, suggested that minis ters of other denominations should do so also—for instance, Roman Catholics ; for of those who received the benefit of the institution, at least two-thirds were of that persuasion. Mr. Macgregor moved an especial vote of thanks to the Rev. C. H. Burton, for his exertions in promoting the annual collection, which was carried unanimously. The rev. gentleman in acknowledging the compliment, re marked that they had not had collections from as many churches this time as usual, as several clergymen stated they did not like to ask their congregation too often. Now, he thought that, if the lay gentlemen of the town, when they knew that the collection was about to take place, would intimate to their ministers their willingness to subscribe to such useful charities, it would be the means of securing a much larger sum annually for distribution amongst them. A number of routine resolutions (which will be found in our advertising columns) were then passed, and the meeting separated.

USEFUL INVENTION FOR DRAUGHT HOReES:—Mr. W. Rice, of Boston, Lincolnshire, has patented an inven tion which will tend greatly to decrease the labour of draught horses. It consists of a spring link, formed of steel or India rubber, attached to the traces, hame chains, or any part of the harness ; so that, instead of a ho rse taking a dead pull at starting and freque ntl y com ing down, the load is gradually admitted to the shoulder, by which means the collar forms a complete cushion, and prevents both sore shoulders and broken knees.

MR BARRISTER'S Bia.—About fifty years ago no junior barrister presumed to carry a bag in the Court of Chancery, unless one had been presented to him by a King's Counsel, who,. when a junior was advancing in practice, took an opportunity of complimenting him oil his increase of business, and giving him his own bag to carry home his papers. It was then a distinction to carry a bag, and a proof that a junior was rising in his profes sion.
