The action which this medicine exercises upon the respiratory organs seems to be both stimulating and -sedative; it abates the violence of the-cough ; and di • or relieves altoge ther the oppression of the the y facilitating expectoration, and I feel even inclined elieve that it exercises a special action (and such as ne er remedy is known to exercise) upon the respiratory or . Some facts that have come‘under my personal notic ve•convinced me that Lange was perfectly justified in h assertion that it stops the spitting orbfood and arrests the formation• of pulmonary tubercles:" The influence of GRANDE'S BRONCHIAL SEDATIVE pursues the exact track of the inflammatory action causing cough. First soothing the glottis and epiglottis (the organs of - Voice), its sedative influence passes along the mucous lining of the windpinennto the bronchii, allaying pulmonary irrita tion, giving ease and comfort to the chest—restoring the voice to its accustomed.clearness and power.

The Standard says, " We are able to state from 'the very best authority, that the Archduke John, as Grand Vicar of the Empire, has resolved to call out an army of 50.000 men, as a reinforcement to march immediately in support of Marshal Radetzky, to settle finally the Lom bard question. LATEST FROM HUNGARY.—It appears that the news of the defeat of Jellachich by the Hangarians is not correct. and the report of Charles Albert having again taken the field at least premature. No despatches have been re ceived from Vienna by the French Government, but it is stated, on the authority of accounts received by a banking house here, that Jellachich and the other Austrian gene rals have changed their plan of operations, and, instead of attacking Vienna have advanced against the Hungarian army, after which they will return and quell the insurrec tion at Vienna. INSURRECTION IN CEPHALONIA.—One of the Paris journals quotes a letter from Cephalonia, of the 2d inst., announcing that a serious insurrection broke out in the lonian Islands on the 26th ult. " The peasants of Cephalonia," it says, "rose en masse, and with arms in their hands, entered the town of Argostoli, crying, ' Viva the Union !" Viva Greece and Liberty for ever !' The English garrison fired upon the insurgents, and some lives were lost. An engagement also took place at Lixuri. The people are determined to free their country, at any price, from the absolute oppression which England exer cises under the name of Protectorate, over the lonian Republic." The Presse adds, that the insurgents, after losing ten men in an engagement with the British troops, had fled into the mountains ; but that it was feared they would return on the following day in greater force. COUNT LATOUR.—This nobleman (the Austrian Minis ter of War) who has just perished in the insurrection at Vienna, was a Belgian by birth. He was the son of Gen. Latour, who served a long time in the French army du ring the revolution. STATISTICS OF AUSVRIA.—The different provinces composing the Empire .of Austria contain, says a German journal, a population 0f35,000,000, in which are 19,000,000 Selavonians„ 6,509,000 Germans, 5,000,000 Italians, 2,500,000 Romauns'or Moldo-Waliachians ; and the rest are Armenians, Jews, or natural foreigners. The popu lation gives an army of 436,000 men, not including the landwehr, nor the levy en masse as practised in Hungary. In time of peace it is on furlough. The Austrian navy consists of 57 sail, of which 3 are frigates, 2 corvettes, 9 brigs, and 46 smaller vessels armed in all by3lo guns. A BLACK REPRESENTATIVEC.—At the sitting of the National Assembly of France on Friday last a consider able movement took place in the Chamber in consequence of the appearance of M. Mainline, whose admission was lately pronounced for the colony of'Martinique. The re presentatice, who is of the very blackest hue, walked up to the extreme end of the Chamber and took his seat im mediately under the clock. His features were then visible, nand presented to view the time negro type. The movement through the Chamber •continued to increase, and arrived at its highest pitcluwheri the new comer coolly drevrout an eye-glass and proceeded to leisurely examine the , different parts of the Asserrdcly. It was some mo ments before the President ceuldprocure sufficient atten tion to allow the discussion on 'the constitution to proceed. *The Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster arrived dt Eaton Hall, Chester, last week, from Motcombe House, !Dorset. The Marquis of Salisbury •Las joined the Marchioness, 'at Hatfield House, Herts, 'from visiting his extensive property at the Isle of Rum, off the north coast of Scot land. The noble marquis-and marchioness -will shortly receive a succession of visitors at Hatfield. ROYAL MUNIFICENCE.---The Queen Dowager has been pleased to forward to the Rev. Robert Joynes, rector cif Gravesend, the sum of -17,0 to wards the erection of a new church in the parish of Gravesend. The directors of the South Devon Railway have 're solved to reduce the -salaries on their line. The porters and policemen are to have 14s. weekly, instead of 15s.,and those of .a higher grade will be reduced about 20 per cent. ALLEGED 'PoisartmG.—ln the month of June, `1847, a Mr. Smith, living at Old Weston, near Huntingdon, died after a sudden but violent illness. He was a man of robust health, and of temperate habits, but was suddenly seized with severe retching and purging. Twelve months after his wife married again, and shortly after discharged the servant, who was in her employment at the time of Mr. Smith's death. From this servant the serious charges against Mrs. Smith (or ?arsons), have arisen. She states that'Mr. Smith was taken suddenly ill, having previously exhibited no symptoms of indisposition, and that his wife administered to him a mixture which pro duced the consequences already described, and which speedily resulted in his death. The body of Mr. Smith has been exhumed, and the contents sent 'to London for analyzation. THE GREAT SEA SERPENT AGAIN. —Captain Hen derson, master of the ship Mary Ann, of Glasgow, in a letter datedi•Glasgow, October 19th says, in allusion to the monster seen by the crew of the Daedalus, that he spoke the American brig Daphne on the:3oth ult., and that the mate of the latter told him that on the 20th of that month (September), a most extraordinary animal had been seen—from his description it had the appearance of a huge serpent or snake, with a dragon's bead. Imme diately upon its being seen, 'one of the deck guns was brought to bear upon it, which having been charged with spike-nails, and whatever other pieces of iron could be got at the-moment, was discharged at the animal, then only distant about '4O yards from the ship; sit immediately reared its , head in the air, and plunged violently with its body, showing evidently that the chsrga bad taken effect. The Daphne was to leeward at: the time, but was put about on the starboard tack - and stood towards the brute, which wac seen foaming and lashing the water at a fearful rate; upon the brig nearing, however, it disap peared, and, evidently wounded, made rapidly off at the rate of 15 or 16 knots an hour, as was Judged from its appearing several times upon the surface:" It was pur sued for some time by the,Daphne, but night coming on, the master was obliged to continue his voyage. The mate described the brute as 100 feet long, and his account agrees in -every particular with that forwarded to the admiraltpby the commander of the Daedalus. •ON LISTENING -TO EVIL REPORTS:—The longer I live the more I feel the importance of adhering to the rule which I have laid down for myself in.relation to such matters I. To bear as little as possible whatever is to the prejudice of others. .2. To believe nothing of the kind till .I am absolutely forced to it. .3. Never to drink into the spirit of one who circulates an ill report. 4. Always to moderate, as far as I can, theunkindness which is expressed towards others. 5. Always to believe that, if the other side were heard, a very different account would be given of the matter."—Carus's _Life of Simeon, SOMETHING LIKE A PUBLIC ExittemoN.—Your no velty inventors in the old country, lovers of the awful, gala and fete attendants will sink into .a nutshell at the bare mention of the latest invention in the way of ex citement and sight seeing on-this side. Instead of views of Rome, bombardments of Acre, takings of Seringapa tam, and such like trifles, we send real, bona fide fire ships, " right slick.away, and no mistake," over the fall of Ni agara. It is announced in the Niagara Fails Ira, by Mr. W. Conklin, that he will send two vessels over the Falls on the. 29th ofSeptember. At twelve o'clock, the Pirate, .a vessel ofloo-feet in length, with several wild and tame animals on board as passengers, with appropriate flags and -streamers, will be started from her moorings, two miles above the Falls. It is intended to have this craft so well secured, hatches down and all tight, that she will make the awful leap entire. with spars and rigging all standing. At.eight o'clock on the evening of the same day, a fire ship, loaded with all manner of combustibles, will be ready to slip her cables, showing a ship on fire, until after two miles through the rapids she will make the fearful plunge in a blaze, forming one of the greatest scenes ever beheld at Niagara Falls.—American Correspondent. CODINESS AND DETERMINATION.—The Rev. Mr. Sage, of Lochearron, had been often grieved and annoyed with the barking and fighting of dogs in church. However, on one occasion, seeing a posse of them fighting, and defying the kirk-officer to separate or put them out, he most coolly and deliberately came down from the pulpit, and ; being a strong and powerful man, instantly separa ted them, and put them out, two of which he killed by dashing their brains out against the door-way. During this time, not one of the congregation offered to move out of their seats. The worthy divine, with equal cool ness, took his place again in the pulpit, and resumed his sermon thus—" As we were saying." This reminds us of another divine, minister of a parish on the borders, who used to be also greatly disturbed by dogs, a conside rable portion of his parishioners being shepherds, and generally brought their dogs along with them to church. One day he was so much annoyed that he very sharply rebuked his hearers for bringing their dogs at all with them on the Sabbath day. A poor woman, an idiot, who sat in an obscure corner of the church, roared out from the top of her voice—" Ye hypocrites, leave your dogs at home, and bring your wives to church." This admoni tion, though from an idiot, had a far better effect than that of the minister on the shepherds, who ever after took good care to' leave their dogs at home on Sundays. Mr. Sage was a man of profound piety, and was an instrument of much good in nis day and generation. He was the grandfather of the Rev. Mr. Sage, Free Church minister of Resolis.—Rossshire Advertiser. DIVISION OF LABOUR AND SELF GOVERNMENT AMONGST THE LOWER ANIMALS. —Among the moun tains of Chili, and in the extensive plains of Brazil, the horses, aye, and even the asses of the Spanish settlers have established a progeny that ought to give a new turn to the natural history of their species. Associating in vast multitudes, they have established symbols of com munication with each other; they march in due order, rank and file, with greater regularity than the best trained military troop ; they mount guard in peace as well as in war ; they have officers to command them, to whom they yield implicit obedience; they have a regular system of tactics, according to which they invariably fight ; and all offenders against their code of discipline are regularly punished.—Wherever we find gregarious animals, we generally find the division of labour ; a principle which, as Dr. Adam Smith observes, can only exist where there is an extensive demand. For example, the horses mount guard in turn ; the wild geese lead in turn, and thus each combats an equal portion of resisting atmosphere; the beavers have their carpenters, masons, plasterers, their hewers of wood and their drawers of water ; the male and female birds sit upon the eggs in turn ; the bees gather honey, or build the cell, or lay the eggs, according to the station assigned them : and even the selfish and hated wolf, like the leader of a band of highwaymen. assigns to each of his fellows a station on the flank, bead. or neck of the noble steed. Now, every political economist knows that commerce is little else than an immediate result of the division of labour ; and though I have never seen a well authenticated instance of interchange taking place among the inferior animals, I am prepared to believe that they do exist, and I have no doubt that more accurate ob servations will bring su di facts to light.—Dr. Hume's Paper, read al the Lire Tool Literary and.PhiNsophical Society. GENERAL TRADE REPORT. MONDAY EVENING. For some time past, the probable limit to the progres sive downfal in prices has formed the subject-matter of inquiry ; and the question " Where will it end ? " has met the ready response, " It cannot go much further ;" while, in railways particularly, premiums have dwindled away, and even London and North-Western shares have gone to discount. The emergencies in railway circles are at the same time driving many holders of produce and raw and manufactured goods into the respective markets, to realize, at any cost, the amount required to meet their calls ; and, with a declining continental trade, very few orders having been forwarded thence lately, manufac turers are talking about working short time, the low price at which yarns can now be purchased in Manchester deterring them from flooding the market with any amount of goods. The query now is, " Where is relief to come from ? " As we have before said, we possess all the means, and are, in fact, labouring under a plethora of riches ; but we cannot use them. We have everything in excess of stock ; the great staple, cotton, especially, with the large anticipated crop, shows a surplusage of about half-a-million bales over average requirements ; and we are not likely to consume so much as usual. Everything is favourable for the easy working of the social machine ; but its wheels are clogged, and we are fast coming to a dead lock. We have frequently given our opinions as to the errors which prevail in our present financial code, and we will only add here that we think the machinery wants a little more oil. The English funds still wince under the latest European infliction, and although Consols opened on Saturday at an improvement of an ti;hth, which was maintained until nearly the close of business, some speculative sales rendered the market heavy. The first quotation of Consols was 8411 to 1, and they left off at 84a, sellers, both for money and account. Prices in the SHARE market continue declining daily; still money is said to be extremely abundant, and stock scarce. The sellers in nearly every transaction are bears. That prices should recede under these circumstances, betrays a great want of confidence on the part of inves tors. London stock is to-day 99; do. 4—shares, 2 dis.; Midland, 65 ; do. I-shares, 16 dis. The arrivals to our CORN stores since the publication of Friday's circulars comprise —Wheat, from Ireland 173 qrs., Europe 1170; Barley, coastwise 32 qrs., Europe 84 ; Malt, Ireland 10 qrs., coastwise 65 ; Oats, Ireland 273 qrs., Europe 250; Oatmeal, Ireland 505 Ids., coastwise 9; Flour, Ireland 252 sacks, coastwise 35. The exports are —Wheat, for Ireland 397 qrs., coastwise 368; Barley, coastwise 10 qrs. ; Malt, coastwise 20 qrs. ; Pease, coast wise 5 qrs.; Indian Corn, Ireland 3929 qrs., coastwise 103; Indian Corn Meal, Ireland 170 brls., coastwise 50; Flour, Ireland 20 sks. 580 brls., coastwise 105 sks. 113 brls. Notwithstanding a partial decline in the value of, k most articles of the trade in the English and Irish markets, (particularly Indian Corn in the latter, to the extent of 2s. Gd. to ss. per ton at Belfast, and ss. per ton at Cork. owing to the glut of Potatoes caused by dieging out to prepare for Wheat,) no reaction of the advance obtained at oar torn Exchange on Friday has been perceptible here. There is a paucity of information in the agricultu ral letters which have come to hand, particularly as re gards the POTATO crop Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Oct. 21: From Tuesday Ir at till Thursday we had an uninterrupted fall of snow which lay in 'places several inches deep. A large breadth of Oats and some Beans still in the fields have suffered greatly. The Potato dis ease is also spreading.—Belfast, Oct. 19: The harvest is now, even in the latest districts, closed, and scarcely a sheaf remains out. Our farmers are busily engaged sowing, or preparing to sow, winter Wheat, and in raising the Potato crop, for which the weather is particularly favourable.—Waterford, Oct. 21 : Our Potato market is kept well supplied, and good qualities are 10. per stone cheaper than last week. In the absence of news from the States, with regard to the progress of the COTTON crop, owing to the missing mail from New York, we are still without the latest in formation as to the probable yield, which, as the steam ship America will be up before we go to press, will be found elsewhere. With a moderate demand, an eagerness has been displayed this week to sell, and prices ale fully kel. lower, which represents the market in a much worse state than heretofore, inasmuch as a quotable decline upon the 'present unprecedentedly low rates forms s larger percentage. There was a slight improvement in the demand on Saturday, but prices remained unchanged ; and there has been a fair inquiry from the trade TO-DAY; the sales, however, will not be more than 4000 or 4500 bales, fincluding some little for shipment,) chiefly Ame rican, from 21-d. to 5d., principally 3d. to 31(1. On the whole, the market has assumed a steadier appearance, and prices more regular. At the same time holders seem disposed to meet the demand fully (but without the same urgent anxiety) at Friday's quotations, which have been rather more easily obtained. We copy the following remarks on the TEA trade from Messrs. T. & H. Littledale's hi-monthly ciroular : The market continues inactive; holders have generally been more disposed to effect sales, but the trade continues to refuse increasing their stocks, consequently for the limited business transacted the prices have been in favorof„the buyers for nearly all kinds. Congous of fair to good common descriptions are heavy of sale at 4d. per lb. decline ; also the blackish leaf and Ho-How sorts are not so saleable, and for the good and fine Pekoe kinds easier rates have been submitted to. Scented Caper and Orange Pekoe—the former scarce and wanted, the latter is id. told. per lb. lower. Greens—A fair demand exists for Canton Imperials and Gunpowders at about previous rates; nothing doing in these kinds of Twankay and Young Hyson : good and fine Imperials and Hysous are ld. to 20. lower, hut Young Hyson and Gunpowder maintain former prices. On comparing prices with last month we find a decline of id. per lb. in common, and 4d. to Id. on good and fine Con gous and Scented Orange Pekoes, and l d. to 2d. on good cad fine Imperial and Hyson; Scented Capers are 10. per lb dearer. We have seen a few musters of the new Congous, but they were so much spoiled on the voyage home, that it is impossible to judge of their quality, but in appearance and make of the leaf we consider them quite equal to last season's." With the exception of a large sale of Cheese, by auc tion, amounting to about 3,000 bales, which took place last week, realising an advance of fully 2s. per cwt. upon ithe previous sale, the AMERICAN PROVISION trade is very barren of interest. Grease Butter is 2s. lower. The present prices are.:— •Cheese—(duty paid)—Fine, 4Cs to 52s per cwt. ; 40s to 45s ; ordinary, 30s to 28s. Beef—U.S. (free)—Prime .mess, per tree. 3041 b, 87s 6d to 95s ; ordinary, 80s to 85s, old —s to —a; extra, India, family, &c., —s to —s; ditto, per half-barrel, 26s Gd to 38s ;—mess, per barrel, 2001 b., —s to —s ; ordinary, 40s to 465, old —s to —s; prime, 388 to 40s. Pork-- U.S. (free)—Prime mess, 36s to 58s, old —s to —s per barrel, 2001 b. ; prime, 368 to 38s, old —s to —s; mess, family mess, &c., 50s to 565, old —s to —s. Bacon—(free)—Eastern, —s to —s; western, 30s to 45s ; shoulders, 27s to 30s, old —s to —s per cwt. Ham—Dried (duty paid,) 35s to 42s per cwt. ; an salt, (free,) 30s to 345. ' Lard —(free)—Fine, in kegs and bar rels, 42s to 43s per cwt.; good, in do. do., 419 s to 41s; ordinary to middling, 38s to 40s ; inferior, and grease, 30s to 365. Butter—Canada, (duty paid,) 60s to 66s per cwt. ; grease, (free,) 40s to 445. Soda Itscuit—(duty paid)-26s to 28s per cwt. Apples—(duty paid)-12a to 17s per barrel. There is positively nothing doing in lasses Butter. The last-quoted prices are purely nominal, no sales hav ing taken place to effect any alteration ; and as the arri vals still continue large, (i.e., 10,244 firkins 1057 crocks I for the week ending this day,) a fall in value appears in evitable. Bacon and Ham are nearly, if not quite, with out inquiry; and Lard is little better. The transactions in the Scotch Pig IRON market have been very limited, and prices are again in favour of the buyer. For mixed numbers the price may be quoted 425. 6d. at Glasgow. and 51s. 6d. for No. 1, good brands, f. o. b. here; 525. 6d. to 535. Gd. No. 1 Gartsherrie.— The prices in the METAL markets generally are as fol follows :—Copper : braziers', 9d per lb. ; sheathing, 9d ; tile and cake, £7B lOs per ton. Tin Plates, 1.C., £1 5s to £1 lOs per box. Iron : Swedish, assorted, £l2 per ton ; English bar, £5 17s Gd to £6 2s 6d ; nail rod, £6 15s •, sheet, £8 ; hoop, £7 15s ; nails, £25 to £3O. Lead : sheet. £l6 lOs ; pig, £l5 ; red, £l7 ' • white, £2l. Spelter, £l6 10s. Steel : Swedish, £l3 to £l4 per ton. Quicksilver, 3s 6d per lb. There is no change of moment to notice in the WooL market. Business continues as dull as it well can be. A sale of 950 bales East India, held here on Thursday, was but thinly attended, and only half of them were sold, in consequence of the low prices offered. There will be a sale of East India and other low Wools on the 27th inst. ; a good portion of the East India is of the better class. Scotch has been in moderate demand, without change in price. Imports for the week :—Foreign, from Bombay 474, previously 62,889 ; Scotch, 656, previously 13,497. As an exception to the general tenor of this day's re port, the price of SILK has advanced Is. @ Is. 6d. per it being considered that the crop in China will be small this year. In the large business done latterly nearly all the low and middle qualities have changed hands at an advance of Is. per lb. The transactions have been con fined to the speculators. There has also been some im provement in the best qualities, which are 6d. to Is. per lb. higher. The trade generally are waiting the result of the public sale declared for 2nd of November, to see if the advance is supported, as well as a confirmation of the former news of a short supply. In Bengals the prices are 6d. to 9d. higher, and the stock very much reduced. In Italian, Brussa, and Persian silk there is less disposition on the part of the importers to sell, and the market is firm, and but little offering. The deliveries at this port, of China Silk, from 11th ult. to 19th inst., are 213 bales, and our stock only 502 bales. In Silk Piece Goods, during the month, there has been but little inquiry and less disposition shewn by the importers to sell at present rates. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 14th of October, gives the following results when compared with the previous week : PubliC deposits, ..44,297,385; Decrease, £2,665,081. Other deposits, 10,674,983 ; Increase, 2,621,879. Rest, .. 3,382,646; Decrease, 463,839. On the other side of the account : Government securities, x 13,845,012 ; Increase, .982,716. Other securities, .. 11,202,250 ; Decrease, 436,914. Notes unemployed, .. 8,405,405; Decrease, 942,755. The amount of notes in circulation is £18,333,760, being an increase of £858.285 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £13,259,219, showing a decrease of £158,022, when compared with the preceding return. MANSLAUGHTER.—On the 10th instant, an Irishman, whose name is not known, and several others, were at an inn in Oakhill, Somerset, where for some time they re mained drinking together, but nothing of any importance was said by either party. The Irishman was very noisy, but did not molest any one. Having left the house, he was followed by a man named Sidney Bendall, a scuffle ensued, the Irishman was thrown violently on the pave ment, and received a severe blow on his head, which caused his death on the following day. DEATH FROM THE FALL OF A BALE,—On the 9th of Jane, while a man named Thomas Threlfall, aged 56 years, a carter, was receiving in his cart a load of hemp, from Messrs. Jackson and Co.'s warehouse, in St. James' street, a bale of the article, weighing between two and three cwt., fell upon him, from the door of the third story, just as it was about to be lowered by the teagle, and seriously injured him. It appeared, at the time, that the cane band by which the hemp was slung had given way ; and it is stated that it is usual and safer not to trust to this, but to secure such package by a regular rope string. The man was sent to the Infirmary, where he 1 ngered from the effeas of the injuries until yesterday • morning, when he died. LIVERPOOL AUXILIARY TO THE LONDON SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIANITY AMONGST THE JEWS. At a committee meeting, held on the 20th instant, at the Clarendon Rooms, the Secretary having called atten tion to a letter from the Rev. Wm. Withers Ewbank, Everton, addressed to the editor of the Liverpool Courier, and which appeared in that paper on Wedneseay last, the 18th instant, the following resolutions were adopted : " That this Committee regard with feelings of extreme regret the distressing occurrences which took place at the annual meeting of the Liverpool Association of the Society for Promoting Christianity amongst act Jews, on Monday last, and especially as they involved a very painful collision between two of its most valued and respected members. " That without pronouncing any opinion a= to the right of any member to address the meeting, this Committee believe that it is competent to the chairman, in his nificial capacity, to pronounce whether such member is or is not in order. " That this Committee is further of opinion that the recognition of a right of discussion, on theological sub jects, at our anniversary meetings, would be the intedue tion of a most dangerous and inconvenient precedent. " That this Committee regrets exceedirgly that Mr. Ewbank, as one of its members, did not think fit to com municate his intention in Committee on some ocree-ion previous to the holding of the meeting on Monday last ;. and that when his intention became known during the meeting he did not yield to the earnest and affectionate . remonstrances addressed to him by several of his clerical brethren before he arose to speak. " That this Committee altogether disclaim the desire to confine the advocacy of the Jewish cause at their anniver saries, within the circle of those who hold the views of unfulfilled prophecy, usually denominated ; and that upon the other hand it appears that a well-known. clergyman of the town, holding the opposite opinions, was in fact solicited by the secretaries to speak on last Mon day evening. That this Committee cannot separate without record ing th2ir opinion that Dr. M'lsTeile, in the exercise of his undoubted right, in a sudden and difficult emergency, acted with a simple view to the promotion of the best in terests of the Society ; neither can they refrain from ex pressing their regret that anything should have occurred in the management of the meetiug, or, otherwise, to create an impression, however mistaken, in the mind of Mr. Ew bank, of an intention to deal unfairly or unkindly_ by him." That the resolutions now passed be published in the Liverpool Mail, Standard, and Courier newspapers,•to gether with the letter of Dr. M'Neile, addressed to the Secretaries, and read at this meeting. (Signed) C. W. LAWRENCE, Chairman. TO THE SECRETARIES OF THE LIVERPOOL AUXILIARY TO THE JEWS SOCIETY. MY DEAR Sias,—As Chairman of your recent Annual Meeting, I beg your attention to the few following re m irks, and request that they may be laid before our Com mittee. I th'nk that no member of any of our Committees whet allows the arrangements of our Anniversaries to be made, without any remonstrance in Committee, has any right after to intrude an interruption to those arrangements at the public meeting, such arrangements being the act of the whole Committee, whether all the members have ac tually assembled to discuss them or not. The case is different with a subscriber to the society who is not a member of the Committee, and who has no opportunity to remonstrate, except on the occasion of our annual appeal to our constituency ; though even in that case, I think if he were indeed a friend of the society, he would appeal first to the Committee, either by letter or by personal communication to some friend on the Com mittee. if Mr. Ewbank thought our Jews Society Committee was one-sided, and their arrangements, year after year, one-sided, he should, I think, have said so, kindly and frankly, in committee, and proposed the addition to our numbers of certain names calculated to make the com mittee, in his opinion, a fairer representation of our whole constituency. Not having done so, his attempt to interfere with our proceedings by an appeal to the public meeting, was, in my judgment, such a departure from established usage and order, as called for the exercise of the chairman's authority to resist it. If I be mistaken in this oinion, I shall be happy to be set right. But whether it shall appear, on due inquiry, that I was right or wrong on the occasion, i hope you will agree with me in thinking that ➢ir. Evrbank ought to have yielded, for the time, to the decision of the chair, reserving an appeal on what he considered his right for a calm and competent tribunal, instead of resisting both the autho rity of the chair and the manifested feeling of the meeting, in a way which could possibly lead to nothing but con fusion and noise. Mr. Ewbank complains of want of f it play—but, I think it is the committee who have cause to make the complaint against one of their members, who, without friendly remonstrance, attempted a public reproof. Mr. Ewbank says, he has spoken upon the subject re peatedly to the secretaries, and has recently stated his views in writing to one of them, Mr. Boutfiower. All I can answer to this is, that I never heard of it before—no communication of the kind having ever, to my knowledge, been the subject of discussion in the committee. And, I feel confident that, had Mr. Ewbank come to the com mittee and expressed a wish to speak at the annual meet ing, his name would have been put upon the list. Should the committee decide upon any public statement in consequence of what has occurred, I respectfully re quest that this letter, as it stands, may be included in such publication. _ _ _ In conclusion, I beg to assure you that should the com mittee eventually resolve that my decision in the chair was incorrect, however well intended, I will most cordially acquiesce, and receive your vote as a ruled instruction to chairmen, whatever may be the result at any of your meet ings. I feel that without full and hearty submission in such matters, to the voice of a majority, we cannot main tain even the semblance or unity ; and I value unity far beyond any one side of any of our conventional arrange ments in which no vital truth is compromised. Believe me, dear Sirs, very faithfully your's, Aigburth, 0ct.19, 1848. HUGH 111'NEILE. CIRQUE NATIONAL DE PARIS-ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. Mons. Dejean, the able director of this unrivalled troop of equestrians, fought with his regiment against the in surgents at Paris on the memorable days of June last, and received three wounds, and it was not until he was totally disabled, after receiving his third wound, that this brave soldier left his post during that severe contest for the destinies of his country. He ranks high in the esti mation of his countrymen, and we feel assured he will be equally respected in England, if for nothing else than his endeavours to merit public support for his enterprise in crossing the British Channel. After innumerable diffi culties encountered at Havre in transporting so extensive an establishment, the first representation took place at our Amphitheatre last evening, and we have to congratu late our townsmen upon the great treat again afforded to them in witnessing the variety of entertainments in store for them during the winter evenings. In addition to all the distinguished favourite artistes of last season, there are several new ones who make their first appearance in Liverpool. Mdlie. Caroline Loyo displayed her extra ordinary powers of saddle riding on that fine animal " Jupiter," cheval de haute ecole ; Mdlle. Hadwiger her bold and adventurous feats, without either saddle or bridle, and Mdlle Palmira Annato, by her grace and the perfect manner in which -she executes her exercises, meriting a continuance of the high enthusiasm ' with which she is received wherever she goes : some novel music, expressly composed for her, accompanied her per formance. Young Loisset and little Marie Annato ap peared, in that beautif u l, b u t per il ous, exerc i se t h e ` Highlander and Sylph." Mdlle. Paul and Mdlle. Augustine Cerg are the names of the new female eques trians, and are talented riders. Messieurs Auriol L'Erlair and Young Auriol were all alive and stirring, which, together with a new comique, named " Mahothet," amused the audience with their eccentricities and extre ordinary feats. Mons. limner, the skilful director of the band, is again come from Paris with it, and his taste in selections which accompany the performances adds much to the general gratification. ROYAL TENDERNESS. —At the Mayor's dinner, on Thursday, his worship, in proposing the health of her Mnjesty, alluded to her liberality on the occasion of the loss ofthe Ocean Monarch, and stated thathe thought it was due to her Majesty to mention a little circumstance of which they were not aware, connected with the loss of that unfortunate vessel : -A little child about three years of age was saved—it was unknown—unclaimed by any one and unable to give any account of itself, it formed, amidst the general distress, one of the most touching, because the most destitute, cases. This circumstance reached the ears and arrested the maternal sympathy of her Majesty, who immediately, with that quiet and unos tentatious benevolence whici, ever characterises her, pri vately intimated her intention to have the child taken care of, respectably educated, and put forward in the position in life to which it appeared to belong. This benevolent intention, which, if carried into effect, would probably not have been allowed to have transpired, has only been frustrated by the discovery of the natural guardians of the child, to whom it has been restored. " Boz's" JUBA, AND G. W. PELL'S CELEBRATED ETHIOPIAN SERENADERS.—From the high tribute of ap plause bestowed on this company, by the whole of the editors of the London, Brighton, and Manchester journals, who have witnessed their performances within the last two months, it gives us great pleasure to announce that the Liverpool public will shortly be equaliv gratified with the many thousands who visited them in those localities They will appear at the Theatre Royal, Williamson square, on the 7th of November, for the first time. Mr. Pell is himself the most celebrated player on "the bones" the world has yet produced ; and the whole of his com pany, in their ;respective departments,—sing negro melodies of great novelty, playing the banjo, dancing, &e, ; but the wonder of the wonders of this humorous band is "Juba," a youth only seventeen years of age, whose feats as a singer and dancer must be heard and seen, for our contemporaries acknowledge their inadequacy to do them justice by description. His drollery and volubility of ut terance, when required, are truly astonishing. His dancing casts all previous efforts in this line into the shade, and is so flexible, so rapid in change, and is so altogether novel, as to establish, in his own person, what may be called a r vpicty of physical phenomena, before deemed beyond 'tlielischieti 1. of man. We way add that he is the ver:table youth whom " Boz," (or " Dickens") so graphically describes in his " American Sketches," and say no more -to conciliate a warm reception of these foreigners on . their -arrival. When we have seen them we shall enlarge upon their per formances more particularly. •_ C. vu vvrs lovallakvi DEFICIENCY OF NERVOUS ENERGY. - - GALVANISM THE SUREST CURE FOR IT. WHAT 1S " DEFICIENCY OF NERVOUS ENERGY ?" It is a withdrawal of nervous fluid from any particular muscle or organ affected. For instance, sup pose the stomach is so weak that it cannot digest food, the stomach is-then deficient of nervous energy, for experiments made on animals prove that if the nerves which lead-from the spine to the stomach are separated, sesas to cu t off the supply of nervous fluid. ; all digestion ceases :on the stant. Again, suppose any muscle-or limb so weak that i annot perform its functions, that muscle or limb is deft . tof nervous energy. We may pursue the same reasoning. regards the braia, and hence the reason of lowness of s • ts, want of resolution, tor por of all the intellectual . pow s, loss of memory, &c. The question which now ari s e s i IS,—" Can Galvanism supply the various organs with ner s energy when they are defiment of it?" To reply to thi question we must go to experimental facts—facts se well thesticated, that no physiologist-of the present day denies'them. The following experiment is concha sive, and will convince the most sceptical that Galvanism can not only supply the placeof the nervous fluid, but that the gal vanic fluid and the nervous Iluid is one and the same thing. In Dr. Wilson Phillip's celebrated work, entitled "An Enquiry into the Laws of the Vital Functions," several experiments, similar to the following one, were made in order to decide the long-disputed question as to Whether the galvanic fluid was identical with the nervous fluid. Three dogs were procured and kept without food for a certain time, when they were al lowed to eat as much as they felt inclined to. On two of the dogs, the operation was performed of dividing the eighth pair of nerves, in order to prevent the :flow of nervous influence to the stomach. Nothing was done to the third dog at this stage of the experiment. A stream of galvanic fluid was now passed through .the divided nerves of one of the dogs, and, at the ex piration of four hours, the three dogs were killed. On examin ing the stomach of the non-galvanised dog, not a particle of food was digested; whilst the food of the galvanised dog pre sented exactly the same appearance as that in the stomach of the dog which had not had the operationperformed of dividing the nerves. Such experiments as these must come home to the conviction of the most sceptical; for nothing can be a more convincing proof that the galvanic fluid and the nervous fluid is the same thing, and that the galvanic battery, when pr operly applied, will cure those complaints prop erl y styled a defici ency of nervous energy." Invalids in the country are informed that I continue to supply my Portable Galvanic Apparatus at Ten Guineas each; and that with my instructions, they will be enabled to apply the Galvanism just as effectuallyas they could receive it at my own residence. I take this opportunity to caution parties against using those small electro-magnetic apparatuses having only one or two pair of plates, for their constant effect is, to irritate the whole nervous system. My apparatus, which has now become so celebrated, consists of twelve pair of zinc and silver plates, and a most complete regulating apparatus, with wire handles, &c. The whole is contained in a neat mahogany box, about two feet long, one foot high, and one foot broad and when in action, is an ornament to any drawing-room, and is, in short, perfection itself. From the weakest to the strong es. power there are fifteen gradations, the use of which is de scribed in my sixth and seventh letters on Medical Galvanism (see my pamphlet) to which I beg to refer the reader's attention. The extraordinary cures I have made by means of Galvanism have so astonished the whole medical world, that I am no w patronised by the highest of the Medical Profession. The most timid nee!. not be afraid of using my apparatus, as the power of it is entirely under command, and the power of it can be regulated so accurately, that an infant may be galvanised by it without causing it to cry. The price is Ten Guineas. Ile cash to accompany the order. WILLIAM HOOPER HALSE. Invalids are solicited to send to Mr. W. H. HALSE, Profes sor of Medical Galvanism, 22, Brunswick-square, London, for his pamphlet on Medical Galvanism, which will be forwarded free on receipt of two postage stamps. They will be astonished at its contents. Iq.it will be found the particulars of cures in cases of asthma, rheumatism, sciatica, tic-doloureux, paralysis, spinal complaints, headache, deficiency of nervous energy, liver complaints, general debility, indigestion, stiff joints, all sorts of nervous disorders, &c. Mr. Halse s method of applying the galvanic fluid is quite free from all unpleasant sensation; ip fact, it is rather pleasurable than otherwise, and many ladies are exceedingly fond of it. It quickly causes the patient to do without medecine. Terms One Guinea per week. The above pamphlet contains his letters on Medical Galvanism.
