Mr. L. begs particularly to direct the attention of those who may be troubled with Corns, Bunions,£Je., 6-c., to a para graph which appeared in the " LONDON MORNING POST," of November the 13th, where will be seen the dangerous re sults that may occur from unskilful treatment.

FREEDOM OF TITOUGHT.—WhiISt we glory in having freed ourselves from. the trammels of human authority, are we, not turning our liberty into licentionFness and wantonly struggling tc throw off the Divine authority too? Freedom of thenght 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 haviugour opinions lopped or lengthened till they are brought to lit the. measure of human caprice,: yet there is still a standard_ by which not ()Tay actions are weighed, but opiniolis ire 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 Cod than we are at liberty to infringe practically on his commandments. —Hannah Mire, A CERTAIN AND SPEEDY CURE FOR INFLUENZA, COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMA, INCIPIENT CONSUMPTIONS, AND ALL DISORDERS OF THE CHEST AND LUNGS. QPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR, $0 carefully prepared front the Recipe of the late C. SPENCER, Surgeon, &c., Salford, Manchester, deservedly celebrated as the west successful practitioner hi all pulmonary affections. Of all complaints incident to the human frame, those of the lungs appear to be most peculiar to this climate, especially i n damp, fuggy weather, and during the winter months; whilst persons of every age and station of life are alike the subjects of attack. SPENCER'S.PULMONIC ELIXIR is admirably adapted to promote expectoration, ease 'the breathing. loosen the phlegm!, abate tever, allay the tickling sensation which oeca mons the cough, .wit hold tightening the chest. - The POLMONIC ELIXIR was originally prepared by the late Spenear,..whose signal .success- •in •dispensing• it can have the ready testimony of thousands, who have experie nce d it s efficacy. The recipe is now solely known to the present Pro ' .prietors, who purchased it from the widow of the i nven t or. 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 disch arge th e i r . functions freely, and thus to overcome all difficulty of breath ing arising from a cold, foggy, or impure atmosphere, and to throw oft those insidious attacks which too often lay the groundwork of Consumption. For all temporary and local affections, as Wthsezing, Irritation of the Throat, Huskiness of Voice, and Influenza, the PULMONIC-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 cures have been received by the Proprietors of- SPHNCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR., The following is the most recent : " Messrs. MaITERSHEAD and CO., of Manchester, beg to hand the following Testimonial, just received by them, ad- ' dressed to the Proprietors of SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR. " SIRS, --I feel it alhaty 1 owe to you and the public to ac knowledge the great benefit I have received by taking SPRN csn'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 some of the ablest medical men in Manchester and Nottingham, but without receiving anything but a tempo rary relief, for a shOrt time, an d a l ways a t a great expense. At the latter end of 1844, I had oc cas i on to visit London. Before this time, I never heard of your invaluable Elixir • a friend of mine recommended me to : t r y it. A s I f oun d the London sir modestly cough much worse than it had ever been herrn, I did try it, and experienced great relief from the first dose took ; I persevered, and One small bottle of your Elixir, price is.

In Bottles, at le. bid. an I 2s. 9d, each, *** The Bottles vt 2a. 9d. contain nearly three 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 of 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 nassed 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 h - ands 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—(Xsoo,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 the freight ; that the coasting trade is exorbitantly taxed ; that the merchant navy alone pays 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 including those purchased) under the management of the Trinity House; was £49,000; in 1845, £57,000; whilst the revenue from those light houses alone bad 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 instan 4 , 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 Bosjesmane) 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 PRABY.—ArI 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 returns 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 correspondin g wee k 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 £50.. 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 7k to Bk. Freights were dull : 1000 barrels meal had been taken to Liverpool at Is. 6d. New Orleans dates of the 24th state, that " cotton is in fair demand at previous quotations, good mid. 6k to 71 ; sugar is without change ; molasses continues dull, with sales at 18 to 181 ; flour is quiet : exchange nominal, without any new transactions of importance; and in freights there are several new en gagements.'.' The arrivals were numerous. From Naples we learn that the constitution was publicly proclaimed on the 12th instant, and that " the enthusiasm towards the king was excessive." From Florence, under the date of the 11th, we learn that the Grand Duke of Tuscany had also published a decree for a representative constitution.. From. Padua, under date of the Bth, we are informed that a collision had taken place between the military on one side, and the people and the students on the other. 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.—OII 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 he disposable for a dividend, which it stated would admit of the usual dividend of four per cent., and still leave a surplus of X 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-half 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 be carried, and n 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 33, 1 per cent., 3,312; 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. Motley was carried. It was to the following effect s—That as no reply had been received from the Great Western Com pany, the meeting should be adjourned to the 4th of March, in ordei that the sentiments of that company, relative to the proposition, might be ascertained. The document consisted of a proposal to stay all proceedings in law and equity, the Great Western Company under taking to guarantee the payment of .£3O ss. (withinterest) forall the shares upon which £2O have been paid up the amount to be paid according to the agreement of the 12th of November, 1816; 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 Wharneliffe's standing order. LONDON AND NORTHWESTERN RAILWAY.—The usual half-ye Arly 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 sh are h o ld ers . Th e 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 are extracts from the report laid before the meeting The increased wear and 'tear of the rails, owing to the more rapid speed of the trains, and the greater weight of the engines, has been very eareffilly investigated by the com pany's officers, and the result has been to satisfy the board that, as a matter of prudence, it is desirable periodically to set aside a depreciation fund, to meet the expense attend ing a gradual re-laying of the whole line. A sutra of £lO,OOO will be foend to be appropriated for this purpose in the current half-year. It is satisfactory to the direc tors to be enabled to add, that the whole of the tunnels, and the way 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 £10,462 I.Bs. 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 ls. lid., making a disposable sum of £614,419 18s. Gd. Ont-of this suns the directors recom mend a dividend of four per cent. for the six months, amounting to £564,029 Bs. Ild. and leaving a balance of £50,390 9s. 7d., (exclusive of- the contisirent reserve fund of £130,000,)-to he'-carried to the next half-year's ac count. The dividend on the Manchester and Birmingham shares is calculated for the present half-year on 'five months' receipts, which arises from these shares, in cot formitYwith the act of Parliament, having.- been entitled, previously to the present- half-year, to a dividend for six months ending on the 31st January instead of the 31st December. In future, these shares will receive divider* ko common with the general stock of the oicopeoy• THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. prti) littbitrations, This Day is Published, 1 Vol. royal Bvo., price 155., THE PORT AND DOCKS OF BIRKENHEAD, with Maps, Plans, Sections, and Tidal Diagrams, and an account of the Act of Parliament relating to the Mersey and Dock Estate of Liverpool.

The astonishing success which has crowned the application of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable, cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted. . _ This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat tended with the least danger or inconvenience; hundreds have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first introduced; and such are the properties of this• invaluable Specific that persons labouring under the most distressing Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved in a few hours.

Well-street, Cripplegate. Sin,--I have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout quid Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from pain, and as helpless as an infant: not even a finger could I move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain months in my deplorable situation. Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli cation of four days my troublesome companion began to dis appear; in a week I was capable of walking about my room, and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack, you will please to send six bottles.—l sin, Sir, your obedient servant.— D. W. STONE. • Morteo's Hotel, Strand, 18th August, 11346. Si a,-11 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 bt, a friend to make , a trial of your liquid, called " Seijeant's Lotion.'.' I think it in gratitude due to you to say in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, 1 felt the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshin• slumber, from which 1 awoke to enjoy that which was, from its novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom rom pain. 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 VILLENNEVR. 4. Paternener-ro.r. ,‘ Si 11,—Having 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, I was induced to ascertain the particulars, and being satisfied of the truth of my intormation, encouraged wie to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining little hopes of success, having been many years so severe a suf. ferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam - very - happy iii being able to add' my testimony of the - benedr I derived: after a few days' application the use of my limbs are perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend my business, and, making an allowance for my age. neYerFwas 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 cased 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 mechamt.,.as it generally causes loss of business, and brings ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to make it knows to those afflicted, to evince how grateful I am for my restoration, and am, sir, yours truly, October 20, 1344. GEORGE POLLARD.

Price. Wswertree DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH THE POPE OF ROME. T a MEETING of the PROTESTANT INHA 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, Eso. in the Chair; It was Resolved. I. Moved by Mr. THOMAS GREIG ;• seconded by the Rev. Hunts 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 proposal of reconcilia tion with the implacable foe of Protestantism, and of Protestant England. It would involve a recognition of his usurped spiri tual dominion, inasmuch as his temporal sovereignty is founded upon that dominion, and is exercised solely with a view to per petuate and extend it; so that the rights, claims, policy, and acts of the prince are essentially those of the prelate. It would afford reasonable ground of apprehension that an ambassador from Rome, whether an ecclesiastic, or a layman attended 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. ROBERT Cows, 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 palitical necessity been established sufficient to prove the expediency of the mea sure, even were it right and sate. No exigency can be conctv ed more urg ent than those which have heretofore existed, dtd 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. HI. Moved by the Rev. GEORGE OSBORN, Wesleyan minister, seconded by Mr. CHARLES SWALLOW, That a Petition, founded upon the foregoing resolutions, be prepared, and that, when signed as extensively as possible, the Right Honourable the Earl of Roden be request e d t o 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. 'JAMBS WOOD. 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. MiGniern, rector of St. Ann's, seconded. by the Rev. FRANCIS ATHOW WEST, Wesleyan minister ; That the cordial thanks of the Meeting be presented to James Wood, Esq., for the steps he has taken in connexion w ith th e convening of this meeting, and forhis able conduct in the chair.
