Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might have been to this day connned to my bed.

SIR,—I 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 . 4 ' Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to felt -in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, I the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing ~ slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy th a t w hi c h was, from i ts novelty, greatest happiness--perfect quietude and freedom tom nein. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce oneto accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I have not lived in vain.—With many thanks !.

P-E NCER'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 affections. Of altcomplaints incident to the human frame, those of the Lungs appear to be most peculiar to this climate, especially in damp, foggy weather, and during the winter months; whilst personsof every age and station of life are alike the subjects of attack. SPENCEIL S PUI.MONIC ELI x a is admirably adapted to promote expectoration, ease the breathing, loosen the phlegm, abate lever, allay the tickling sensation which occa sions tl;e.cough,.without tightening the chest. The PULItIONIC ELIXIR was originally prepared by the late Mr. Spencer, whose signal success in dispensing it can have the ready testimony of thousands, 'who have experienced its efficacy. The recipe 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 FtmsioNic ELIXIR gives instant relief, 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 cares have been received by the Proprietors of SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR. The following is the most recen_t_: : - .7 _ _ " Mes - srs. MOTFERSHEAD and CO., of Manchester, beg to hand the following Testimonial, just received by them, ad dressed to the Proprietors of SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR. " 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 three years with a severe cough, and a disease on my lungs ; I have consulted smile of the ablest medical men in Manchester and Nottingham, but without receiving anything but a tempo rary relief, for a short time. and always at a great expense. At the latter end of 1844, I bad 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 bad ever been before, I did try it, and experienced great relief from the first dose I took ; I persevered, and one small bottle of your Elixir, price Is. 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, M. F.' " As this person does not wish the name to appear in print, any one doubting the authenticity of this may apply to Messrs.

ROMANCE ow' REAL LIVE.—The author of " The Metropolis," one of the most successful poetical squibs ever published in Ireland, was a barrister, named Forcott. We have not seen his singular career noticed elsewhere, and it is too strange to be omitted. He was a man of fashion, and a constant guest at the castle, where he was made welcome, not merely for his social qualities, but still more for the sums he lost at play with the notorious Duchess of Gordon. The funds flowed out so much faster in fashion and piquet than they came in from briefs and booksellers, that he became ruinously embarrassed, and - was glad to obtain a place under government in Malta, which his interest at the castle enabled him to do. Here, too, his unfortunate passion for pleasure led him into vice, and rnmours of a very grave charge obli g ed him again to fly. He went to Constantinople, and turned Mahomedan. After a few years, he began to repent of his change of religion, and contemplated returning to Christianity. He told his design to several, and, among others, to the Dragoman of the British embassy, who frequently warned him of the certain death with which the Turks visit any apostate who again releases from their creed, and advised him to keep his purpose secret, until he had an opportunity of escaping from the watch of his co-religionists; but, with characteristic imprudence, he continued to talk freely of his intention. The result was the fate of which he had been warned. His body was found one morning, stabbed with a yataglian, in the back, hi a place called the Little Burial Ground, near the resi dence of the British eraliassy.- - Critique in the 13 , 141 in Mafflaziae.. SPECIAL MEETING OF THE SELECT VESTRY. Yesterday forenoon a special meeting of the Select Vestry was held at the Parish Office, Fenwick-street, to take into consideration a motion, of which notice has been given in the Council by Mr. Alderman J. Bramley- Moore, that the resolution come to on the 10th instant be rescinded, that the Dock Bill be proceeded with in the present session, and that powers be therein sought to enable the trustees to build warehouses in conformity with the 60th section of the Dock Act 9th and 10th Vie., cap. 199, and that the warehouses to be erected shall be limited, for the present, to the quays of the proposed new dock at Wapping ; and that a proviso be introduced into the bill, that the warehouses so to be erected shall not be opened by the said trustees, for the reception of goods, wares, and merchandise, until it shall be determined by Parliament whether such warehouses shall or shall not be subject to the payment of parochial and other local rates in the parish of Liverpool. In the absence of the Rectors, Mr. Churchwarden Fer guson took the Chair. The attendance of Vestrymen was rather limited. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the meet ing, said that he exceedingly regretted the absence of the Rectors, on account of illness, and he had been compelled to take their place. It had been found necessary'to hold that meeting of the Vestry on that day, instead of the day following. Having read the circular convening, and stat ing the objects of the meeting, the chairman said that the object of the meeting of the Council seemed rather ampli fied, and he should not have been doing his duty as Churchwarden of the parish if he and his colleague had not called the special meeting of the Vestry, so as to en able them to decide whether a resolution should not be passed, or memorial presented to the Town Council on the subject. For his own part, as Churchwarden, he must say that the Dock Trustees had not dealt fairly with the parishoners. (Hear.) Some time ago, a deputation was appointed to meet the Dock Committee. He had before him a report of what took place on that occasion, but he would not read the whole of what took place. The deputation consisted of the Rev. Rector Campbell, myself, (Mr. Ferguson,) Messrs. Poole, John son, and Steens. Mr. Campbell stated the object of the deputation, and said they appeared as a deputation from the Select Vestry, and took the liberty of inquiring (with respect to the bill which the Committee were now solicit ing, to enable them to build additional dock warehouses) whether that bill contained a clause for the rating of the dock warehouses, similar to that which referred to the Albert dock warehouses; and if not, to suggest that the Committee would cause such a clause to be inserted ; because the Vestry thought if dock warehouses were to be exempted from rates, it would be an act of injustice.— The Chairman said, the bill, as it stood at present, was not vet in the hands of the Committee, therefore he ap prehended, so far as the request went, it must be prospec tive. The bill was in an imperfect state. It would have to be laid before the Committee, and then passed by the Council, before it went a stage further. At present it was in the hands of a Parliamentary Committee.—The Rev. Rector Campbell said the Vestry were in a state of ignorance on the subject, and they wished to get some in formation ; also, to convey to the Committee an intimation that they certainly should object to the exemption of dock warehouses from rates, and would do every thing they could to get insertion to a clause subjecting them to rates. —The Chairman said, he was sure that any suggestion coming from the Select Vestry would receive every atten tion by that Committee; but, at the present moment, the bill was not in that state of forwardness for them to say whether that clause was- or was not introduced.—Mr. Ferguson : Perhaps, should you determine not to insert the clause, you will have the goodness to inform the Select Vestry, and give us a copy of the bilL—The Rev. Rector Campbell : In time.—The Chairman : Of course. He might state, as from himself, that the trust, generally, being exempt from the payment of local rates, he did not know how far it might be disposed to impose them volun tarily.—The Rev. Rector Campbell : The Albert docks are rated.—The Chairman : That was an especial agreement. This matter, they were aware had been discussed during the last session; but the warehouse clause having been with- ' drawn, the clause proposed to be inserted by the parish was withdrawn also. All he kthe chairman) could say was, the committee were obliged to the deputation for the trouble they had taken, and every attention would be paid to their suggestions.—Mr. Poole said the ware house property formed four-tenths of the rateable pro perty in Liverpool. The assessment of warehouse property was £400,000, and that of rateable property about a million ; therefore, it would become very impor tant when they bore in mind the large claim which the parish had on this description of property.—The Chair man : I hope you will continue to receive local rates from warehouse property.—Mr. Ferguson : We shall receive much less if you build warehouses without being rated.— Mr. Johnson said they would have a serious loss in property which would be destroyed for the erection of these ware houses.—The Chairman said those observations were made when the last Dock Act was before parliament.—The Rev. Rector Campbell: Are you now in a position to tell us when the bill will come before Council ?—The Chairman : Very soon. It has been delayed longer than usual, in conse quence of the vacancies in the Dock Committee.—The Rev. Rector Campbell : It will not come before the Coun cil at the next meeting ?—The • Chairman : No. He would, however, undertake that the parish authorities should be furnished with a copy of the bill as soon as, it was ready.—Mr. Ferguson said it was the intention of the Vestry to memorialize the Town Council, if it was not the intention of the committee to put the clause in the bill.—The Chairman said there would be ample time for that. They would not steal a march on them. The de putation then withdrew. The CHAIRMAN continued :—They did not receive a copy of the bill, and therefore the reverend rector was obliged to write for one. In the next place, they did not give sufficient time to the Vestry to consider the bill, but they took them by surprise, and they knew the result. The Dock Committee made another attempt to introduce the bill without giving any notice. This time they were going to move to rescind the former resolution of the Council. It therefore appeared to him that the Dock Committee had not treated the Select Vestry with the respect which they should have shown to the representa- I tives of the ratepayers, but on the other hand, he thought they were treating , the parochial authorities with con tempt. In conclusion, he would state that a memorial should be laid before the Vestry, and any suggestions that they offered should be attended to. ( Hear.) After a few words from Mr. Woodruff, which were in audible, Mr. Besrsettrr said that he had not been able to take any part in the agitation :which had been going on against the new bill which was about to be applied for by the dock trustees ; but he objected to the principle of dock ware houses being built without the sanction of the rate-payers —whether the warehouses paid rates or not. He would therefore move, " That, it appearing to be the intention of the Dock Committee to submit, through their chairman, to the Town Council, at a special meeting to be held on Tuesday next, an altered bill for the erection of dock warehouses, without any provision being made therein for rendering such warehouses liable to parochial rates,—Re solved that this hoard, after further consideration , are more deeply convinced that additional burdens would be cast upon the inhabitants of the borough through the Town Council, as ratepayers, and gross injustice done to them, should the Dock Committee succeed intheir present efforts, in oppo sition to the almost unanimous voice of the inhabitants, to obtain through the Town Council powers for the erec tion of dock warehouses exempt from parochial rates ; that, therefore, this board deem it their duty to call upon the Town Council, the representatives of the ratepayers, to withhold their consent to any bill having for its object the erection of dock warehouses unless it contain a clause rendering such warehouses liable to rates, and unless there be good grounds for believing that such a clause, notwith standing any want of conformity with the standing orders of the House of Commons, would meet with the sanction of the legislature." Mr. EARLE.—I think you had better leave out the latter portion of the resolution which refers to the sanc tion of the legislature. Mr. BENNErr observed that there was no new matter 1 in the bill, so that the resolution would at once show its own meaning. Mr. EARLE said that he understood there would be some scheme provided at the Council meeting of the next day, by which they would not interfere with the standing orders; but he did not know in which way the thing was , to be done. Mr. Poot.r..—ln that ease, the latter portion of the resolution had better stand. Mr. EARLE said that if the Dork Committee went for their bill, it was doubtful whether they could get a rate paying clause inserted in it. Mr. AVISON observed, that as the bill stood at present it contained no rate-paying clause. Mr. BENNETT said he should give the Wit his most de cided opposition, unless he had a positive certainty of the rate-paying clause being included in it. when passed. Mr. EARI.E.—A" certainty which you cannot possibly obtain. (Hear.) Mr. BENNETT.—Then 1 shall vote against it. Mr. WOODRUFF said that he did expect, from the va rious explanations and discussions which had taken place in the council chamber, that the Dock Committee would not have come before he 'council again for any measure respecting the docks, without a positive undertaking to put the rate-paying clause into the bill. He thought that after what had taken place already in the council, and elsewhere, the Dock Committee would have waited twelve months, and that they would then have given the parlia mentary notices, and included the rate-paying clause in the bill. He had great pleasure irx seconding the motion. The CHAIRMAN then put the motion, which passed unanimously. Mr. BEYNErr moved that a copy of the resolution be sent to the Mayor and the Town-clerk. Mr. EARLS.---I think Mere would be no incivility in sending a copy to Mr. Bramley -Moore, the chairman of the Dock Committee. The CHAIIIMAN.—Ttey have scarcely shewn us any civility. Mr. 13uNNErr.--At any rate, that will be a gentle hint to them. Mr. POOLE then rose and said, that with respect to the subject of a motion, the notice of which he had given at the last meeting, he thought that the time had arrived when it was highly necessary that something like an un derstanding should become to bv the parish on one hand, and the dock estate of the town of Liverpool on the other. They might search the whole of the civilized world to tied an instance of a town where a quantity of valuable land, producing one-fourth of the entire revenue of the parish, was not contributing one farthing towards the parochial rates. The dock estate • Wa4 established in 1710, when the old dock site where the old dock originally stood, and .where the tustorn-house now stood) was converted into a dock. On that occasion, an application was made to parliament to empower the trustees to borrow the very moderate sum—as compared with the dock eKpenditnre of the present day—of £ti,ooo, and also asking for power to raise money to pay th interest on the sum laid out on the Itt A to )verb afterwards 01(1 &flailed again in a similar manner for leave to give land also belonging to the burgesses of Liverpool,' upon 'which the Canning and Falthouse Docks now stand, and also for power to raise further monies. Mr. BENNETT. — When was that ? Mr. POOLE.—It was in 1737. In 1761 they gave the land on which George's Dock is now constructed, and they applied for power to borrow £25,000; so that it would be at once seen that from the year 1710 up to 1761, the burgesses found the whole of the land for the docks. (Hear.) In the year 1784, they applied for power to purchase the laud on which the King's and Queen's Docks now stood ; but then they ceased to give the land. They applied for power to purchase the land,—the price to be repaid by the Dock Estate. From that period up to the year 1811, the Dock Estate was managed by, and formed part of, the Corporate Estate of the town. The management of the Dock Trust merged in the general Corporate Estate, and was thereafter looked upon as part of the Corporate property. In 1811 a change took place in the constitution of the trust, for in that year twenty. one persons were constituted the Dock Committee ; but it was rcquired that they should be members of the Cor poration, and they were elected by the Corporation, who were themselves a self-elected body. In 1825 a far greater change took place in the management of the trust. It was done through the instrunfentality of the dock rate payers, who conceived that, inasmuch as they contributed the dock rates, they ought to have a voice in the manage ment of the estate. He believed it was then arranged that the dock ratepayers should have the privilege of electing eight members of the Dock Committee out of their own body ; leave being given to the Council to return thirteen other members, making up the number to twenty-one, and stipulating that the cheirrnan of the Dock Committee should be appointed out of the the thirteen nominated by the Town Council. That mode of government existed up to the present time. There was, however, one important matter to be taken into consideration. The Town Council who nominated the thirteen members out of the twenty-one, also pos sessed the power of vetoing any of the proceedings of the Dock Committee which might come before it. Now, although the mode of government established in 1825 was that which was now in existence, there could be no doubt that there had been considerable changes since the municipal reform bill; for the corporation had previously been a self-elected body, but afterwards it had assumed the character of vox populi, and by the operation of the municipal reform bill the Council had got a consi derable quantity of the voice of the people infused into 1 its influence and composition, which, of course, was wanting, in the will of the parishioners, when it was under the old regime.—(Hear.) It had been asked how this monstrous injustice had been permitted to continue from 1708 up to 1848. He (Mr. Poole) declared that he could not account for it. It appeared to him that it must have been owing to the apathy and neglect of the people who were interested in the matter. In the first dock act in 1708, they left out the clause empowering them to pay parish rates, and when they were subsequently asked to pay them, the Dock Committee said that they were very sorry, but the fact was, that their bands were tied up by the act of parliament. In the year 1825, the parish assessed the dock estate at £50,953, and this was appealed against by the dock trustees who took the question to the court of quarter sessions, where it was de cided against the parish, and then the case was taken to the court of Queen's Bench, where the dcci , ion of Lord Tenterden decided against the parish authorities. ( Hr. Poole here read a note of the judgment.) He then pro ceeded to state that the dock trustees had disbursed £259,000 in the shape of wages to dock labourers. Sup posing each individual got one pound per week for the time, this would represent the employment of 5,000 in dividuals who got their living by daily labour, and in the direct employment of the dock estate. Now these 5.000 labourers would represent a population of 25,000 souls, — taking each person to represent himself, a wife, and three children. There must be a vast amount of pauperism re sulting from this state of things. The revenues of the dock estate were £259,000. and deducting the expenses, which would be £59,000, the net income would be £200,000. This, at a rate of is. 6d. in the pound, would give £15,000. or about 6 per cent. on the gross income of £259,000. Now, concerning the tax upon the goods re ceived at the port :—he had been at some trouble to ascer tain what would be the amount which each description of goods would have to pay. A bale of cotton, weighing 4001b5., would have to pay one halfpenny ; a ton of coffee would be charged one penny; and a ton of sugar, one penny; whilst the dues upon a ship that went to China and back, a voyage of about twelve to fifteen months, would be £1 13s. After some other observations, he moved that a committee be appointed to consider the propriety of rating the Liverpool dock estate to the relief of the poor. Mr. URQUHAF.T seconded the resolution. Mr. EARLE said he did not rise to oppose the motion, but he would remark that the opposition to the rating of the docks was grounded upon the fact. that in the docks there was no beneficial interest vested in any one, and that the rating of them would be opposed by the govern ment of the country. In Bristol and London, where the docks were rated, they were the property of private com panies. The rating might perhaps be done on this ground, that they were obliged to send all the Irish who came from Manchester and Stafford and other places home again: He had every respect for the opinions of the bur gesses, but he would not go into the Council as a mere puppet. Mr. URQUHART then rose, and producing half a quire. of foolscap, read a long speech, which was indistinctly heard. Ile said that he had no sympathy with Mr. Earle in his statement that they had nothing to do with the rates. The rates on the parishioners were greatly in creased in consequence of the immense amount of pro perty belonging to the Dock Trustees and the Corpora fen from which the rates could not be obtained. The Doak Trust augmented the poor rates more than the whole town besides from the extent of uncultivated labour they employ, and the inducements they give for that class of labourers to locate in Liverpool, who, from their poverty, are no sooner out of work than they are on the parish. The reply almost invariably given by appli cants at the relief board was, that they were in some way connected with the dock works. To give an idea of the amount given to that class of labour, the Dock Trustees paid last year to labourers, quarrymen, &c., £279,324. The number of parties engaged in constructing the docks would not be less than 50,000, who were on the verge of pauperism. The greater number of the inhabitants of Pitt-street, St. Paul's, Vauxhall, and Scotland Wards were employed under the Dock Trust, and they occupied dwellings for which rates could not be collected. Mr. Urquhart then contended that the Dock Trust, by the erection of the North Docks, and by the clearing away of Nova Scotia, had driven from those sites parties who were large ratepayers for slate yards, ship-building yards, &c., •and were going further to decrease the rateable property of the parish to the extent of £52,000 by the destruction of the buildings in Wapping. The Trust had, moreover, driven from the port ship-building and other trades, and if they carried out the power they were now seeking, they. would secure a monopoly of the warehousing trade to the loss of the parish of rates on at least £200,000 worth of property. For these reasons he contended that it was unreasonable that the Dock Trust should be exempt from parish rates. Mr. Urquhart then read extracts from letters received from Southampton, London, Bristol, I,lull, Leith, and Dundee to show that the docks in those places were rated to the poor and other local taxes. It was not for them nor the committee to dwell on who the Dock Trustees are trustees for. Sir William Blackstone says " the lands of England belong to the people of England ; " [Mr. AVISON : That is rather a dangerous doctrine;"] but Mr. William Earle contended with us that the docks of Liverpool belonged to the whole world, " therefore (said he) we could not, nor had we any thing to do w4'l, rating them ; that we were interfering with that we eild not understand, nor had anything to do with." If Mr. Earle's views were admitted, the bond holders would soon cease to hold a beneficial interest or hope to have their bonds redeemed ; and who would advance money for the future to trustees whose trust was without a locality ? However, the act of George 111., ch. 143, settled the nature of the trust, and gave the council, who had exercised so much judgment and discre tion, a veto on all the acts of the dock trust. There were members of the Town Council who were convinced of the injustice of the dock trustees taking public property and employing it to oppose the burgesses in any branch of trade or commerce, and felt the impossibility of any pub lic trust competing with private enterprise and industry ; tut there were other members who had for many years contended for untaxed warehouses round the docks. The cause of the advantages from 04,-Ise docks did not arise from untaxed warehouses round 'their docks, but from the competition of dock and warehousing business; warehouses on the quays are the means only to facilitate the advan tages which are appreciated by the merchant, and these docks are enabled, from their charges, to pay poor-rates, rents, all expenses, and a large annual profit for the in vestment of capital. If the same mode were adopted here 'it would rectify all the existing evils, and could b e eas ily attained. Let the quays round the docks be sold on Cor poration leases, ith restrictions to build warehouses, within a limitedtime, as to plan and construction : let these warehouses be built round the docks now constructed — Lane et ry advantage would be gained to the commerce of the p 0 t, to the profit of the merchaut,and to the despatch of trade. The dock trustees would cease to carry on ware housing business, or any other trade, as incompatible with them as trustees, and, in conformity with that character, pay poor-rates on the amount of their income, and do away with ever - y - possibility of any interest in that trust, using public warehouses at rates that do not yield their expenses. And as the warehouses would belong to private individuals or companies, the rates would be easily ob tained, thus doing away with the necessity of putting down more rateable property, or making more docks, or ex pending above five millions of money to complete the works contemplated in the bill coming before the council. • The members of the council should reflect that they are trustees over the interests of the burgesses. and are blame able if they allow their selfish views to injure their trust. :Fain we have those who consider the interests of their fo reign correspondents of more importance to them than the interests of the parishioners, who maintain that the docks belong to the whole world, therefore, they have no right to pay poor rates to any parish for the use of these docks. After listening to such logic a gentleman moved from that board and went into the Tos - ,n-counril room, and stated that lie did all he could to convince us that the docks, warehouses, and all, " belonged to the connam nity," while the truth is, lie contended, their advantages belonged to the community of Liverpool, in perpetuity, while they paid the local rates in oommon with the parishioner; he doggedly maintaining ageinSt u 4, that thrl belonged to the whale world, no twithstandir s ig his iowjeer at the wiseacres he saw at this board, amid Mir ►turiit.aries lie felt extinguishing his Incifer light, as friction pro duced it. Afr. BENNE'rT ro!se to order. Mr. Witrroy mai). wisbcd Mr. 171-kric had pert:air:Lod to iten to it. _ _ RQ UMART Said if gentlemen hat) C:1144"11 an inteve , t in tbig matter thcry woc►kl not lie to itapationk. Mr. STEAINS said he was on the sub-committee, an& . felt deeply interested in the matter ; but he was a worm and - not a talker. Mr. URQUIIART continued :—Yet, by the continued. application of the light of these luminaries upon his obtuse mind, within forty-two hours after he received the light from them, he reflected an atom of it into the Council room, without stating it was communicated to him bpi those gentlemen of whom he was then speaking so coa temptuously. But from the size and influence of our churchwardens' intellectual l um i nar y, h e mus t f ee l w it others, pity that one who has su c h a sma ll ca p ac it y f ..mental light as Mr. W. Earle, sh ou ld, f rom th e influen ' i of circumstances, be placed in responsible situations; and, had he not been the lesser light o f thi s board, :-nci of the' selfish, meagre, and interested minority on the Lhotion bi be submitted to the Council, he would not have conducted himself as he did towards us. If he is the representatives of the light of his section, their light is darkness ; and how great the darkness ! He concluded with the request' to vote for the committee. Mr. BENNETT.—Did I understand Mr. Urquhart to say the little mind of Mr. Earle? Mr. URQU/lART.—I said the capacity of mind. Mr. AvisoN.—lt is not usual to make such observer-I tions in the absence of gentlemen. Mr. BENNErr was unde rs t oo d t o say t h ere was no gees-' _ tleman in Liverpool to whom such observations could -* be so inappropriately made as to Mr. Earle. :4 Mr. STEAINS thought it desirable that the gentlemen of the Board should express their disapprobation of suck*/ language. After a few other observations the- resolution, as pro- posed by Mr. Poole, was crrried unanimously. Mr. Smethurst, Chairman to the Guardian Society, anti - Mr. Reay, the Secretary, then entered the room, as a .", deputation from the Guardian Society, to solicit the co operation of the Vestry in opposition to the Dock BilL, !. Mr. REAY said they had prepared a memorial to the w s Council, praying that body to adhere to their last reso- . lution not to proceed to Parliament this session. They' : had no confidence in the promoters of the measure, and, therefore, they could not leave it to them to obtain the : insertion of the rating clause. At the request of ihe Chairman Mr. HART read to the deputation the resolution which had been passed by the Board, and the interview closed. After some little conversation, Mr. Hugh Molyncus was appointed to the vacant seat at the Board, and the proceedings terminated a little after one o'clock. In reference to this subject, the Guardian Society hale sent a letter to each member of the Council, in whice., after alluding to the intention of the Dock Committee "to renew the discussion on the Dock Bill with a view to rescind the resolutions alrcady . passed by the Council, the Society calls the attention of the Council to a memorial : from the Society, to be presented at the Council meeting • to-day, in which the memorialists state that they " deem such a proceeding discourteous and unjust, and, therefore, ; calculated to destroy that confidence in public bodies which they are ever anxious to maintain. The memorial ists, therefore, respectfully, but earnestly, urge upon the Council to be again firm, and carry out in its integrity the resolution passed on the 10th instant." The. separation of his faithful followers from Abd-el- Kader had obviously produced upon his health an effect so alarming. that orders were given for their confinement in the same prison with their illustrious chief. The beautiful model of the battle of Waterloo is still ma view. The gentleman in charge of it gives an interesting and graphic description of every object delineated, and every spectator becomes thus minutely and accurately as quainted with the occurrences which have been of such momentous consequence to his country's history. THE FEMALE.AMERICAN SERENADERS.—The first of : five concerts, by the Female American. Serenaders, was given last evening, at the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson street. The attendance was extremely good, and from the rapturous applause that followed each piece there could be little doubt of the general satisfaction the concert gave. As a body they are clever, and play the various instru ments assigned to them with great precission. Their - costume is characteristic of American Indians, and many of the melodies they execute are of a more refined charae ter than those usually produced at Etheopean entertain ments, but here and there are introduced such songs as " Old Joe," " Buffalo Gals," &c., &c., which have the effect of enlivening the affair, and from the quaintnesi with which they are given, keeping the whole audience in laughter. THE NAUGHTY NUNS OF NENVINGTON.—At Newingse. ton, in Kent, are the very slight remains of the nunnery of Newington. By whom it was founded no record re mains. Tradition, however, gives its Gothic walls and cloistered seclusion an evil repute. The nuns of Newington strangled their prioress in her bed, and, to hide the deed, ' cast her body into a deep pit. The crime was, however, discovered, and Henry 111. delivered the unscrupulous sisterhood who were guilty over to the secular power, to be dealt with according to their deserts. After this he filled their cloister with seven secular canons. This fra ternity, however, seem to have been as bad a lot as the sisterhood they succeeded ; for four of the shaveling% very soon after their admission, murdered one of their brother canons and they were ousted and executedin hum. So much for the nunnery of Newington i FALSE HUMILITY.—Amongst the false- humilities by which the world is most flattered and beguiled, is that of the professor in this kind who shrinks from all censure and reprobation of what is evil, under cover of the text, " Judge not lest ye be judged;" as if it were the intent of that text, not to warn us against rash, presureptuous, and uncharitable judgments, but absolutely to forbid our tak- , ing account of the distinction between right and wrong.- " It is not for us to judge our brother," says the humi -1 of this way of thinking ; "we know not how he. may have been tempted,. perhaps he was born with stronger passions than other people ; he may have been ill brought up ; peradventure he was thrown amongst evil. associates ; we ourselves, had we been thrown in the same - circumstances, might have been in like manner led astray 2' Such are the false-charities of a false and popular humility. If we are to excuse all the moral evil that we can account for, and abstain from judging all of which we can suppose . that there is some adequate explanation, where are we to stop in our absolutions ? Whatever villainy exists in the • world is compounded of what is inborn and what comea, by circumstance ; there is nothing so base or detestable . but it is the consequence of some adequate cause ; and if: we are to make allowances for all but causeless wicked-• ness, there is an end of condemnation.—Taylor's •Notes. from Life. THE FARMER'S DAUGHTER.--There'S a world of • buxom beauty flourishing in the shades of the country. Farm houses are dangerous places. As you are tleinkieg only of sheep or of curds, you may be suddenly shot through by a pair of bright eyes, and melted away in a bewitching smile that you never dreamt of till the mis chief was done. In towns and theatres, and thronged assemblies of the rich and titled fair, you are on your guard ; you know what you are exposed to, and put oa your breast-plates, and pass through the most deadly on-. slaught of beauty safe and sound. But in those sylvan retreats, dreaming of nightingales, and hearing only the lowing of oxen, you are taken by surprise. Out steps a fair creature—crosses a glade—leaps a stile. Yen start, you stand lost in wonder and astonished admiration ! You take out your tablets to write a sonnet on the return of the Nymphs and Dryades to earth, when up comes John Tompkins, and says, "It's only the farmer's Caugb.ter.". What! have farmers such daughters now a-days ? Yes, I tell you they have such daughters. Those farm-housee are dangerous places. Let no man with a poetical imagi nation, which is only another name for a very tender heart, flatter himself with fancies of the calm delights of the country—with the serene idea of sitting with the far mer in his old-fashioned chimney-corner, and hearing him talk of corn and mutton—of joining him in the pens:va pleasure of a pipe and jug of brown October—of listening to the gossip of the comfortable farmer's wife of the par son and his family, of his sermons and his pig—over a fragrant cup of young hyson, or rapt in the delicious luxu ries of custards or whipt creams--in walks a fairy visiois. . of wondrous witchery, and, with a curtsey and a smile of. winning and mysterious magic, takes her seat just oppo site. It is the farmer's daughter, a lively, creature of eighteen : fair as the lily, fresh as May dew, rosy as the rose itself, graceful as the peacock perched on the pales there by the window ; sweet as a posy of violets and cloy. gillivers, modest as early morn, and amiable as ymir owl' imagination of Desdemona or Gertrude of Wyoming. Yoe are lost. It's all over with you. I wcuid'nt give au empty filbert or a frog-bitten strawberry for your peace of mind, if that glittering creature be not as pitiful as she is fair. And that comes of going into the country, oat of the way of vanity and temptation, and" fancying fart* houses nice old fashioned places of old-fashioned content ment.—" The Hall and the Hamlet," by Wiliiagt Hewitt. • HOW TO OMB HYSTERICS.—Mr. G. Corfe, in the Medical Times, gives the following as a specimen of caws of hysteria frequently met With .at the Middlesex Hos pital :—" It is usually about the dead of the night, at least most commonly in the evening, that a large posse of police, with a fair attendance of women, carry, into the out-patients'• room a female, strapped down on the stretcher. It is stated that she has had a fit, and screamed and became so violent that all efforts to control licr were quite ineffectual. We ate summoned to the case just as we have retired to bed, p2rhaps ; we find a fat, healthy looking young woman pi ostrate on this stretcher. Her eyes are fixed, pupils dilated, acting slightly under strong lamp ; she is pinched, slapped, her hair pulled, atilt • every effort made to rouse her, but all is in vain. Per haps we may see through the case at once, however—the moral force here is invariably more effectual than the physical. We noCce a nictating eyelid, and a snort ar groan is given, yet there she lies, unconscious, apparently. to all that is gomg on around her. We raison ceinmanal ing and authoritative order, that all persons shall lye int; mediately excluded ; thus, " Policemen, turn out the • whole of thi.se persons, both male and female."
