Silt s —l feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer ing acute pains from Sciatica . , or severe Rheumatic affection is the hip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to try your embrocation, and have the pleasure to say that after three applications I was restored to my usual health ; and, al though two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder. —I am, Sir, gratefully yours, EDWARD NOYES. Well-street, Cripplegate. SI R,-1 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 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. Forhinately your remedy was made known to me, or I might have teen 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 was capable of walking about my room, and by raother week's perseverance in the use of your Medi cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack, you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir,_ your obedient servant,— D. W. STONE. Morleg's Hotel. Strand, 18th August, 1846. Slli,-1 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 g ratitude due to you to say in less than an hour from tine time I applied the Lotion, I felt the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate effect was to produce a short Int 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, HENRI VI LLENN EYE. 4. Paternoster-roc. "Si it,—llaving been informed of tne surprising cure of Mr. Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was compelled to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his committing any violence and whose case was considered en, tirely hopeless, / was induced to ascertain the particulars, and being satisfied of the truth of my information, encouraged nie to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining little hopes of success, having been many veers so severe a suf ferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam ! Very happy in being able to add my testimony of the benefit derived: after a few days' application the use of my limns are perfectly restored, and 1 am now able to attend my business, and, making an allowance for my age, never was better in my life. To those. however severely afflicted and hopeless their case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial, feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use of their limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Medicine. Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to those who are deprived, none feels it so severely as the trades man or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and brings ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to make it known to those afflicted, to evince how grateful I au for my restoration, and am, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE POLLARD. (Meier 20, 1544.

Freedom of thought is the glory of the human mind. while it is confined within its just and sober limits . ; but though we may think ourselves accountable for opinions at no earthly tribunal, yet it should be remembered that thoughts as well as actions are amenable to the bar God ; and though we may rejoice that the tyranny of the spiritual Procrustes is so far annihilated, that we are in no danger of havingour opinions lopped or lengthened till they are brought to fit the measure of human caprice, yet there is still a standard by which not only actions are weighed, but opinions are judged; and every sentiment. which is clearly consistent with the revealed will of God, is as much throwing off his dominion' as the breach of any 'of his moral :precepts. This cuts up by the roots that popular and independent phrase that 'thoughts are free,' for in this view we are no more at liberty to indulge opi nions in opposition to the express word of God than we are at liberty to infringe practically on his commandments. —Hannah Akre, LIVERPOOL FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM.

A T a MEETING of the PROTESTANT INHA ti_ BITANTS of MANCHESTER and SALFORD, opposed to Lord Lansdowne's Bill for Establishing Diplomatic Relations between the Queen of England and the Pope of Rome, held at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, on THURSDAY, the 17th February, 1848, JAMES WOOD, ESQ. in the Chair; It vat Resolved. I. Moved by Mr. THOMAS GREIG ; seconded by the Rev. HUGH STOWELL, Honorary Canon of Chester, That this Meeting regards with great disapprobation and alarm the Bill introduced by Her Majesty's Government into the House of Lords, for establishing Diplomatic Relations with the Pope of Rome. The repeal of the statutes forbidding com munion with the see of Rome would be a pr ncilia tion with the implacable foe of Protests , and of Protestant England. It would involve a reco • on of his usurped tual dominion, inasmuch as his poral sovereignty is founded upon that dominion, and is rcised solely with a view to per petuate and extend it; that the rights, claims, policy, and acts of the prince are entially those of the prelate. It would afford reasonable g nd of apprehension that an ambassador from Rome, whet er an ecclesiastic, or a layman attedded by an ecclesiastic as his confessor and guide, would form a centre, around which all the agencies opposed to our religious liberties would gather; and that he would thus possess peculiar facilities for aiding the extraordinary efforts now being made, again to subject this country to the papal sway. And it would lead to public acts and exhibitions which would familiarize all classes of the people with the unjust pretensions of the papacy, under circumstances favourable to the national acknowledgment of them. 11. Moved by the Rev. RICHARD BUTLER, Incumbent of St. Silas; seconded by the Rev. RonuaT COWE, Minister of • St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, That the objections to the measure are materially strength ened by the consideration that, whilst the Sovereign and people of England would thus cultivate the friendship of the Pope, they both lie under the heaviest curse which it is in his power to inflict, a curse which seeks to deprive the monarch of her crown, and to dissolve the ties which bind her subjects to her in dutiful allegiance. Nor has any case of political necessity been established sufficient to prove the expediency of the mea sure, even were it right and safe. No exigency can be conceiv ed more urgent than those which have heretofore existed, and which have been met by private and non-official communica tions, the very privacy of which has borne testimony to our national fear and abhorrence of Popery. Wesleyan minister, 111. Moved by the Rev. GEORGE OSBORN, seconded by Mr CHARLES SWALLOW, That a Petition, founded upon the foregoing resolutions, he prepared, and that, when signed as extensively as possible, the Right Honourable the Earl of Roden be requested to present it to the House of Lords ; and that a similar Petition to the House of Commons be prepared and signed at the same time, which Lord Ashley shall be requested to present, should the Bill reach that house. _ JAMES woon. The Chair having been vacated by Mr. Wood, it was taken by the Rev. Wiliam Huntingdon, rector of St. John's, It was then Resolved, IV. Moved by the Rev. W. H. M'GRATH, rector of St. Ann's, seconded by the Rev. FRANCIS ATIIOW WEST, Wesleyan minister ; That the cordial thanks of the Meeting be presented to James Wood, Esq., for the steps he has taken in connexion with th e convening of this meeting, and for his able conduct in the chair. WILLIAM HUNTINGDON. A CERTAIN AND SPEEDY CURE FOR INFLUENZA, COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMA, INCIPIENT CONSUMVPIONS, AND ALL DISORDERS OF THE CHEST AND LUNGS. SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR, carefully prepared from the Recipe of the late C. SPENCER, Surgeon, &c., Salford, Manchester, deservedly celebrated as the most successful practitioner in all pulmonary a lions. vii7y,pr ea Of all complaints incident to the human f , those of the Lungs appear to be most peculiar to thi imate, especially in damp, foggy weather, and Burin winter months; whilst persons of every age and station o ire are alike the sublet-fp; nf_ .et.cx. et....,,...k, 1-...,....m. .I.,:citt IS aamirtitoy noripted to promote expectoration, asp the breathing, loosen the phlegm, abate lever, alla be tickling sensation which occa sions the cough. Witho ightelling the chest. The PULMONIC Et. in was originally prepared by the late Mr. Spencer, who signal success in dispensing it can have the ready testim yof thousands, who have experienced its efficacy. The ipe is now solely known to the present Pro prietors, who purchased it from the widow of the inventor. The two great characteristics of the Elixir are, the allaying of all irritation in the delicate and susceptible coating of the throat and chest; and the imparting of tone and vigour to the respiratory organs, whereby they are enabled to discharge their functions freely, and thus to overcome all difficulty of breath ing arising from a cold, foggy, or impure atmosphere, and to throw off those insidious attacks which too often lay the groundwork of Consumption. For all temporary and local affections, as Wheezing, Irritation of the Throat, Huskiness of Voice, and Influenza, the PULMONIC ELIXIR gives instant relict; while in more Chronic Disorders (as periodical Coughs or inveterate Asthma) it is equally efficient, though of course requiring a little more perseverance in the use of the medicine. Innumerable cases of well-attested cures have been received by the Proprietors of SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR. The following is the most recent : " Messrs. MOTTERSHEAD and CO., of Manchester, beg to hand the following Testimonial. just ' received by them, ad dressed to the Proprietors of SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR. .' S t as,—l feel it a duty I owe to you and the public to ac knowledge the great benefit I have received by taking SPEN CER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR. I have been troubled for the last t h ree years with a severe cough, and a disease on my lunge; I have consulted some of the ablest medical men in Manchester and Nottingham, but without receiving anything but a tempo rary ',lief, for a short time, and always at a great expense. At the latter end of 1844, I had occasion to visit London. Before this time, I never beard of your invaluable Elixir; a friend of mine recommended me to try it. As I found the London air made my cough much worse than it had ever been before I I did try it, and experienced great relief from th e fi rs t d ose took ; I persevered, and one small bottle of your Elixir, price ls. lid., did me more good than I have ever received for twenty times the amount, for which I feel very grateful. *" I remain, Sirs, yours, thankfully, It ' M . ir . v " As this person does not wish the name to appear in print, any one doubting the authenticity . of this may apply to Messrs.

MOVEMENT FOR THE ABOLITION OF LIGHT DUES ON SHIPPING. The shipping interest of the principal ports in the kingdom have again taken up the important subject a the system in which our coast lights are managed, and the consequent unjust imposition of light dues upon vessels. The present depression in trade and shipping has natu-. rally pressed upon those immediately interested in the necessity of calling for relief from the abuses which un deniably exist. Under the antiquated powers of the Trinity Board British ships are subjected to exorbitant charges, and the steam-ship interest are alike sufferers. An association for the Abolition of Light Dues has been formed in London, headed by a number of members of parliament, merchants, and shipowners, and we refer to the resolution passed at a meeting recently held for the details of the grievances sought to be redressed, and copies of which have been sent to the members of the ad ministration, to all the members of parliament, and to many other parties. The following are the heads in brief: That the management of the lighthouses of the kingdom should no longer be in the hands of self-elected and irre sponsible bodies, but should be placed in the hands of a board responsible to government ; that the debt incurred for the purchase of private lighthouses ought not to have been charged upon shipping; that the maintenance of lighthouses, floating-lights, buoys, &c., should be defrayed out of the public revenue; that the payment of allow ances to superannuated seamen and others from lighthouse dues, has been strongly condemned by every parliamentary committee that has investigated the subject; and that the competition of railways aggravates the burden of light dues upon shipping. A meeting of shipowners and mer chants has been held in Hull, at which similar resolutions were passed, and a meeting in this town would do good, and ought immediately to be convened. Mr. Morgan, secretary to the London Association, states, in a circular recently issued by him, with reference to the burthens complained of :—The committee appointed in 1845 to report on that subject has stated that the amount levied for light dues is many times greater than it ought to be—(£soo,ooo being levied, when little more than £lOO,OOO has been pronounced sufficient)—that commerce is fettered by the restrictions imposed on the shipment of goods in cases where the light dues exceed 1 the freight ; that the coasting trade is exorbitantly taxed; that the merchant navy alone Days them ; that the greater proportion of them is applied to other purposes than those for which they were levied : and that they are expensively collected and wastefully spent. Conclusive as this evi.. deace is as to the necessity for the abolition of those dues, it is strengthened by the fact that these abuses are in creasing. In 1837 the amount expended in the mainte nance of lighthouses (not inclnding those purchased) under the management of the Trinity House, was £49,000; in 1845, £57,000; whilst the revenue from those light houses alone had increased from £111,445 in 1837 to £186,000 in 1845. A prebendal stall in Durham cathedral become vacant by the promotion of Dr. Sumner to the see of Canterbury. The Edinburgh Town Council have petitioned parlia. ment for the abolition of the game laws. There will be upwards of 500 rooms in the new houses of parliament, and 150 staircases. Letters from Berne, of the 16th instant, state that the Diet had on that day resolved upon an answer to a joint vote of France, Austria, and Prussia. This document is of considerable length, and cautious in its expressions. It tnanks the Powers for their solicitude in Swiss inde pendence, but affirms that the affairs of their country belong to Switzerland exclusively. and promises to main tain tranquillity and order. WHICH ARE THE MOST SAVAGE, THE FINEST PISAN TRY OR THE BOSJESMANS ?—A ruffian, a couple of even ings since, flung an orange from the gallery with great violence, at one of these poor savages (the Bosjesmans) and apparently hurt him considerably. When speaking of the Bosjesmans as the lowest specimens of the human race, we surely ought to make an exception in favour of the fellow who perpetrated this outrage.—Cork Reporter. A MOTHER SHOT BY HER SON.—An inquest was held a few days since at East Prawle, Devonshire, on the body of Rebecca Wood, aged 49 years. It appeared from the evidence that her son, a young man, had borrowed a gun from a neighbour to shoot some small birds ; he loaded the gun in his mother's kitchen, and whilst in the act of putting a cap on the nipple, the gun went off and lodged the contents in his mother's abdomen ; the poor woman lingered about two hours and expired. POACHING AFFRAY AT RABY.—An inquest was held on Wednesday, on the body of John Shirley, the second huntsman of the Duke of Cleveland, at Raby Castle. After an examination of several witnesses, the jury re turned a verdict of wilful murder against William Thomp son, as principal. and against Thomas Dawson and Wil liam Oldfield, as aiding and abetting The parties had previously been committed to Durham Gaol on suspicion. The greatest consternation has been caused in the neigh bourhood from the melancholy event. From our official returps it appears that the amount of traffic for the last week, on upwards of 3,436 miles of railway, was £148,199, thus accounted for :-70,423 for the conveyance of passengers only, £41,632 for the car riage of goods, and a remainder of £36,144 for passen gers, and goods together, not respectively apportioned ; being an increase of £13,635 over the corresponding week of the Former year, when the mileage was 2,680. The average earnings per mile for last week were £42, whilst in 1847 they were £5O. AMERICA.—The packet-ship Montezuma arrived on Saturday, with dates from New York to the Ist instant. The news is unimportant. The Acadia's outward accounts were expected with great interest. The markets were quiescent. The New York cotton market was steady : the sales on the 31st being 600 bales, good mid. Uplands at 71- to Bk. Freights were dull : 1000 barrels meal had been taken to Liverpool at ls. 6d.

The soldiers entering the cafes with drawn swords, and the people seizing any weapons they could meet, sanguinary conflicts took place, and many people were killed and several wounded. Several scenes had taken place at Brescia and Como. At Pavia, on the Bth, a conflict also took place between the soldiers and the citizens, a great number of whom were wounded and seven killed. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—OD Thursday the half yearly meeting was held at the Paddington terminus, Mr. Charles Russell in the chair. The report for the half year ending December 31st, 1847, showed a balance of £257,318 2s. 3d., to be disposable for a dividend, which it stated would admit of the usual dividend of four per cent., and still leave a surplus of £11,002 2s. Bd.sufficient in ordinary times to be carried to the next account; but the directors recommend a dividend of three-and-a-haW per cent. in consequence of the unusual stagnation of railway traffic. Mr. Stansford moved, as an amendment to their proposal, that it should be four per cent., which was seconded by Mr. L. Heyworth. The amendment was declared to he carried, and a poll was demanded, which continued till five o'clock, and was then adjourned. Oa Friday the result of the poll was declared as follows ; For a dividend of 31 per cent., 3,342; for a dividend of 4 per cent., 1,213: majority for 31 per cent., 2,129. • BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION.—At the meet ing on Saturday, an amendment moved by Mr. Mozley was carried. It was to the following effect :—That as no reply had been received from the Great Western Com pany, the meeting should be adjourned to the 4th of March, in order that the sentiments of that company, relative to the proposition, might be ascertained. The document consisted of a proposal to stay proceedings cy mit y aiiv *omit rresrern ~ornpuny U MKT,- taking- to guarantee the payment of £3O ss. (with interest) for all the shares upon which £2O have been paid up the amount to be paid according to the agreement of the 12th of November, 1846; and the Great Western Company binding themselves to complete the line, the Birmingham and Oxford Company guaranteeing the sanction of two thirds of their shareholders to any bill which may be brought into Parliament by the Great Western Company relating to the completion of the works, agreeable to Lord Wharncliffe's standing order. LONDON AND NORTHWESTERN RAILWAY.—The usual half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday, at the Euston Hotel, Mr. George Carr Glyn in the chair, and was very numerously attended by shareholders. The Chairman went into a long statement, proving clearly that the assertion that the dividends of the company had bee* paid out of the capital was wholly unfounded. He also denied that there was any foundation for the reports which had been circulated in reference to proposed amalgama tions between the London and Northwestern and other companies. The directors recommended a dividend of four per cent. for the half year, which was unanimously agreed to, and the meeting adjourned. The following_sre extracts from the report laid before the meeting :—"Th.e increased wear and tear of the rails, owing to the more rapid speed of the trains, and the greeter engines, has been very carefully investigated by the cam pany's officers, and the result beenhas meetth to eexpensesatisfy theo board t. that, as a matter of prudence, it is desirable periodically to set aside a depreciation fund, to attend ing a gradual re-laying of the whole line. A sum o f £lO,OOO will be found - to be appropriated for this pu r p ose in the current half-year. It is satisfactory to the direc tors to be enabled to add, that the whole of th e t unne l s , weightthe and the wa y and works of the line, are in perfect order. From the statement of the half-year's accounts, it will be seen that the nett proceeds, after deducting £40,462 18s. for the renewal of stock, amount to £607,392 16s. 7d. To this must be added the balance carried forward from the last half-year £7027 Is. 11d., making a disposable sum of £614,419 18s. 6d. Out of this sum the directors recoil,- mend a dividend of four per cent. for the six months, : 0(4 amounting to £564,029 Bs. Ild. and leaving ai.balinceof £50,390 9s. 7d., (exclusive of the contingent reserve fund of £130,000,) to be carried to the next half-year's ac count. The dividend on the Manchester and Birmingham shares is calculated for the present half-year ou five _months' receipts, which arises from these shares, in coo formity with the act of Parliament, having been entitled, previously to the present half-year, to a dividend for sic. - months ending on the 31st January instead' of the 31st: December. In future, these shares will receive di v • in common with the general stock of the conipcivy..; 44 a; 1619 14111
