Skipworth, Bart,, Lord Lifford, Sir Charles Douglas, M.P., Lord Redesdale, E. J. Shirley, Esq., M.P., Lord Leigh, W. Collins, Esq., M.P., The Mayor;, and Corporation of Stratford-upon-Avon, &c. In accordance with the Advertisements, a PUBLIC MEET ING, duly convened, took place on FRIDAY EVENING, the 13th of August, 1847,at Eight o'clock,at the Hanover-square Rooms, London, his Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE having been prevented from taking the chair, owing to a pre-arranged departure for the Continent, the Right Hon. Lord DUDLEY STUART, M.P., had been invited to preside. Previous to the resolutions being submitted, the Original Oration upon the Life, Character, and Genius of the Poet, was pronounced by the Author and Originator of the Meeting ; after which the following letter was read from Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P " St. James's place, August, 1847. " Lord Dudley Stuart presents his compliments to Mr. Geo. Jones, and thanks him for his very kind and obliging letters.; and begs to say that he cannot possibly have the pleasure of accepting the honour Mr. Jones so kindly proposes conferring on him, viz., that of taking the Chair at the Public Meeting to be held this week, for the purpose of preserving Shakspeare's House' to the Nation, previous engagements causing his ab sence from town." Whereupon it was moved, seconded, and carried by accla mation— That GEORGE JONES, Esq., Historian, and Honorary Mem ber of the Royal Shakspearian Club, be the Chairman of this Meeting. •-- - - - Moved by the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. JEFcs, and carried unanimously— That the Right Honourable Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., be invited to be the Honorary Treasurer of the proposed Memorial Fund. Moved by C. DE LA PRYME, Esq., seconded by Mr. RA Al m', and carried unanimously— That the Founder and Chairman of the present Meeting be appointed Chairman of The People's Central Committee of the Sliakspeare Memorial Fund. The following Resolutions (drawn up and read by the Chair man) were then submitted to the Meeting for its approval ; when, after discussion, and a motion for adjournment being lost by a large majority, they were Moved by T PURLAND, Esq., seconded by Mr. 11A3ISEY, , -..asacioaurriad unanimously, with only one dissentient, viz.:. RESOLUTIONS : . _ Whereas it is officially announzed that the House at Strat ford-upon-Avon, in which the great Dramatic Poet of England was born, is to be sold at Public Auction, this meeting views, with profound anxiety, even the possibility of the House of Shakspeare being mutilated, removed, or destroyed by the hands of avaricious speculation, when it is regarded by the Na tion as an heir-loom of the people of England; and, if permit ted to be destroyed, or even removed from the possibility of receiving the devotional respect from the future Pilgrims of Poetry, the present age will receive from posterity a lasting re proach which no time will cancel —will be charged with a criminal inaction which no excuse can even palliate. Therefore, it is Resolved, That this Meeting form itsel The People's Central Connitt, Fund, and that the said Com! Gentlemen, with power to add 1 r into a Committee, to be called ,e of the Shakspeare Memorial nittee consist of the following their number : Albert Smith, Esq., G. K. Huxley, Esq., C. H. Case, Esq,, A. Richmond, Esq., J. H. Hand, Esq., T. P. Healey, Esq., Mr. E. Evans, Mr. George Harris, Mr. R. Jeffs, Mr. Ramsey, Mr. F. T. Fowler, &c. Sheridan Knowles, Esq., Dr. Partridge, T. G. Margiiri . , Esq., T. Tyler; Esq., J. Morgan, Esq., R. Williams, Esq., Chas. de la Pryme, Esq., T. Purland, Esq., H. W. Pearson, Esq., T. B. Lacy, Esq., Resolved, That a Public Appeal he hereby made to the People of Great Britain for a National Subscription (even by the smallest coin of the Realm) for the purpose of purchasing the Shakspeare House and Property, and vesting it jointly in the name of the People of England in the Trusteeship of the Royal Shaksperian Club, and the Corporation of Stratford-upon Avon for ever : the former Association having been originally established for the express purpose of preserving the Relics of Shakspeare, and rendering an annual tribute to his memory. Resolved, . _ _ That this Meeting views with the most fervent admiration, the Patronage accorded at this time to the Royal Shakspearian Club by His Royal Highness the Prince Albert, which, together with the munificent donation of £250 towards the especial ob ject of this Meeting, cannot but increase the profound respect and esteem already entertained for the Prince-Consort by the People of Great Britain. Resolved, That the munificent donation of .elOO by Her Majesty, The Queen Dowager, towards the same National Object, merits the respectful and fervent thanks of this Meeting; and being called forth upon this—the anniversary of the Queen Adelaide's birth day—they are conjoined with the devotional wishes of this assembly, for the continual health and happiness of Her Majesty. Resolved, That this Meeting* recommends that the surplus funds a r i s i ng from the National Subscription (either from the People, Asso ciations, or otherwise) atter paying the purchase-money of the Shakspeare House and Property, (and incidental expenses,) be disposed of as follows, viz. :—1 st, To the erecting of a Public Statue to the honour and memory of the Poet, either in London or at Stratford. 2dly, To the founding of a Shakspeare Scho larship at either the University of Cambridge or Oxford. And 3dly, To the establishing of a Shakspeare Charitable Institution for the Poor and Infirm of the Poet's Native Town. Resolved, . . That this Meeting regards the intended sale of Shakspeare's House by Public Auction with abhorrence, and as a disgrace to England and an insult to the memory of the Poet; and that the rejection of the generous offer (at private sale) of Two Thou sand Pounds, made by . the originator of this Meeting—George Jones, Esq.—plainly indicates the final determination of the parties interested : and therefore this Meeting does not hesitate to proclaim, that any person, or party, who would wantonly or avariciously sport with the Property, so as to endanger the per manent safety of the Birth-place of Shakspeare, deserves to receive from the people of England the lasting infamy which such conduct would Justly merit. That this Meeting earnestly recommends that a Branch Com mittee of this—the People's Central Committee of the Shak speare Memorial Fund—be established in every City and Town of Great Britain, founded upon a Public Meeting of the People, to do honour to the Great Poet who arose from among them selves; and that the said Branch Committee (when formed) are hereby respectfully invited to communicate (with the result of their Subscriptions) with the Chairman of the People's Cen tral Committee in London. Resolved, While this Meeting, from its early announcement, justly claims the priority of the first public movement to rescue Shakspeare's House—yet it gratefully . recognises the efforts that are being made by the several Societies and Associations, to collect Subscriptions among themselves; and since all must be actuated by the same generous impulse—this Meeting, through its Committee, offers its fervent co-operation in the good cause, and expects the same courtesy in return. Resolved, That Subscriptions (either by Cheque, Postoffice Order, Stamps, or otherwise) be authonsed to be received at the fol lowing Banks (permission having been kindly granted to open Subscription Books and to receive Donations) viz. :—The Lon don 'and Westminster Bank, St. James's-square ; the London Joint Stock Bank, Pall-Mall ; Messrs. Currie and Co., Cornhill, City; the London and Westminster Bank, Lothbury, City ; the London Joint Stock Bank, Princes-street, City; and also by George Jones, Esq., Chairman of the Committee, 15, Mad dox-street, Hanover-square; and that all Subscriptions, with the donors' names, be recorded in an especial book for public inspection, and kept in Shakspeare's House at Stratford-upon- Avon. T. P. HEALEY, Esq., accepted the appointment of Honorary Secretary pro tern. A vote - 4 thanks was then proposed, seconded, and carried by acclamation for the Chairman ; also a vote of thanks to the Proprietor of the Hanover-square Rooms, for his liberality in aiding the cause by granting their free use. GEORGE JONES, Chairman of the People's Central Committee, &c. All communications to be addressed to the Chairman of the Committee, 15, Maddox-street, Hanover-square, London. Observe that the Signature of the proprietor, "G. C. Serjeant, ,, is written on the Government Stamp. _ _ _ SERJEANT'S LOTION, the only effectual Remedy against Rheumatism, Rheumatic. Gout Sciatica, and Lum bago. Sold by the Proprietor, G. C. SERJ'EANT, No. 7, Lo vell's-court, Paternoster-row, London; and by all Vendors of Medicine. Price 2s. 9d. per Bottle. 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. Amongst many which are being daily received are the follow tng testimonials : Morley's Hotel, Strand,l6th August, 1846. 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 " Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say, in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, I felt 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 that which was, from its novelty,. the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom from 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 VILLENNEVE. 14, Belmotet-place, TVandstcorth-road, Oct. 26, 1844. Szß,—l feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after sung-- ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in 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 thedisorder. —I AM, Sir, gratefully yours, EDWARD NOYES. 4. Paternoster-rov. " SIR, —Having been informed of tne surpnstng 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 information, encouraged me 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 in being able to add my testimony of the benefit 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, neyeif h 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 am for my restoration, and am, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE POLLARD. October 20, 1844. Well-street, Cripplegate. SIR,—I 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 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 am, Sir, your obedient servant, -- D. W. STONE.

REMEDY FOR THE STING OF THE WASP OR HORNET. —A correspondent informs us that the most effectual cure for the sting of the above insects, is a poultice or plaster composed of chalk and sweet oil. One of his children was on Thursday stung in the hand by a hornet, which caused great pain and swelling. By two applications of the above remedy, the effects of the sting were completely subdued in less than one hour. "MAKING THE MOST OF LIFE.-Dr. Harris said, when dying, Oh, my friends, live much, live long, live in stantly.' Each of you should resolve to live two or three hundred years. You ask how is this possible, when you are removed by death at the ages of forty or fifty ? For this very reason you are called to live long in a little time. Some live longer in a single day than others in the whole course of their lives. You live only as much as you live to God—you only live in reality, as you live wisely, use fully, piously. Methuselah, who lived nine hundred and sixty-nine years, did not live half so long as the Son of Mary, after the flesh, who was crucified at the age of thirty-three ! The time is short.' If a spectator were to sail leisurely along the Mersey in front of Liverpool, for a distance of three or four miles, he would see that the docks now occupy almost the entire frontage towards the river. Here and there a peep will be obtained of streets and parades, of " hards " and land ing -stairs; but, as a general rule, there is one vast string of stone-built docks, studded with vessels so wedged to gether that the whole exhibit an almost uninterrupted range - of shipping. If ever there were a place where one may speak of a forest of masts," surely it is Liverpool ! From every quarter of the globe, from every port which has risen to anything like distinction, are ships to be met with at Liverpool. The flags of all nations are indeed there floating in the air; and the interchange of mind which always more or less accompanies the interchange of commodities, occurs at Liverpool to an extent barely equalled elsewhere.—The Land We Live In. . POETRY AND PELF.—Mr. Bancroft, the American Minister, has no poetry in his composition if the follow ing be a (!orrect report of what he said at the sheriff's in auguration dinner on Thursday :--" He thought it an un wise observation of the poet, that " God made the coun try, and man the town ;" for he thought that the intel lect displayed in the power and resources of such a metro polis as London was far more. striking than that which was manifested even by the best cultivated but inanimate nature in the country, and he mentioned as a remarkable proof of the truth of the observation he had just made, that two lines signed with the name of an honest English merchant or banker, in whom confidence was reposed, could transfer millions of property at the antipodes. (Cheers.)" When the poet exclaimed, "God made the country, and man the town," he was not thinking of heads of turnips and crops of wheat, as contrasted with bills of exchange and streets of brick and mortar. His was a far nobler conception. On the country, the visible hand of the Creator is impressed—mountains, rivers, lakes, and forests—the simple flower of the valley and the majestic oak—kindle in the heart a holy and sublime consciousness of His existence.. In towns, in cities, in the public mart, and in the thronged exchange, we behold man alone—civilized man indeed, and the triumphs of his intellect—but still only man. Mr: Bancroft, it seems, would rather look upon " two lines signed with the name of an English merchant or banker, transferring millions at the antipodes," than at the most majestic manifesta tions of the Deity in his creation,—John Bull. JoHN O'GROAT'S HOUSE.—John O'Groat's house, a memorable place in the parish of Cannisbay, in this coun ty, perhaps owes its fame less to the circumstance of its local situation, at the northern extremity of the island, than to an event which inculcates an useful lesson to mo rality. In the reign of James IV. of Scotland, three bro thers, Malcolm, Gavin, and John O'Groat (supposed to have been originally from Holland) arrived in Caithness with a letter from that Prince, recommending them to the c ountenance and protection of his lovi n g subjects in Caith ness. These brothers bought some land near Duncansby Head, and in a short time, by the increase of their fami lies, eight different proprietors of the name of Groat pos sessed these lands in equal divisions. These eight fami lies lived peaceably and comfortably for a number of years, establishing an annual meeting to celebrate the an niversary of the arrival of their ancestors on the coast. In the course of the festivity on one of these occasions a question arose respecting the right of taking the door, the head of the table, and such points of precedency, each contending for the smiority and chieftainship, which in creased to such g degree as would probably have proved fatal in its consequence, had not John O'Groat, who ap pears to havedecluired great knowledge of mankind, inter fered. He expatiated on the comfort they had hitherto enjoyed ( wing to the harmony which existed among them ; he assyred them that as soon as they appeared to quarrel ammlst themselves, their neighbours, who had till then treated them with respect, would fall upon them and ex pel, them from the country ; he , therefore, conjured them by the:ties of blood and mutual safety to return quietly to their several homes, and pledged himself that he would satisfy them on all points of precedency, and prevent the possibility of such disputes in future at their anniversary meetings. They all acquiesced, and departed in peace. In due time John O'Groat, to fulfil his engagement, built a room distinct from all other houses, in an octagonal fi gure with eight doors, and placed a table of oak of the same shape in the middle. The next meeting took place ; he desired each of them to enter by his own door, and to sit at the head of the table, he himself occupying the last. By this ingenious contrivance the harmony and good hu mour of the company were restored. The building was then named John O'Groat's House, and, though nothing re mains but the foundation of the building, the place still retains the name, and deserves to be remembered for the good intention and sound judgment which gave it origin. .

GRIMSTONE'S AROMATIC REGENERATOR, FOR IMPROVING AND PROMOTING THE GROWTH OF HUMAN HAIR. If you are in want of that Beautiful Adorn ment of the Human Figure, a natural supply of Human Hair, obtain through the post, or of any Wholesale or Retail Chemist, Druggist, or Perfumer, an Hs. bottle of GRIMSTONE'S AROMATIC REGENERATOR. This is an Essential Spirit drawn from Aromatic Herbs and Flowers (grown at his Herbary Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, i too numerous to set forth nan advertisement, but may be read in his pamphlet, in which, the bottles are encloied: Each pamphlet has the signature of WILLIAM GRIAISTONE, Mer chant, Herbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekley's letter to the Editor of the Times Newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded through the post on receiving two postage stamps. And the AROMATIC REGENERATOR can he forwarded through the post on receiving a Postoffice order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., or 12s. —which includes the postage with tin case. The Ils. size con tains four of the 4s. A. few of its virtues, as thousands can now prove, are that—it produces eyebrows • moustaches; whiskers; new head of hair; and new hair on bald places. It cures all diseases of the human hair. It is acknowledged by all medical gentlemen to be the only specific that will cure Porrigo Decalvans, and cover the bald places with a new growth of Nervous Head-ache cured by using a few drops on the crown of the head. _ _ . Fainting-fits cured and prevented by using twenty or thirty drops on the crown of the head. Repeat it until relief is ob tained, and the patient will be relieved in fifteen minutes. Eyebrows,. Moustaches, and Whiskers produced in a few weeks by using an essential Spirit drawn from choice Aromatic Herbs, the peculiar properties of which are known only to the Inventor, and though perfectly innocent in itself, will produce new hair on bald places, caused by weakness of constitution, or where nature has not bestowed this ornament to the human figure. It has been known to many of the nobility and gentry upwards of eleven years, some of whom the Inventor most sin cerely thank for their attestation of its merits in the certainty of restoring Hair, and giving it additional lustre and strength. Mrs. Weekly, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough. takes this opporopportunity of publicly, thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the tunity Highgate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenera tor, in having completely restored the hair on her head after using it about four months, and her hair is now much stronger and more luxuriant than it was previous to its falling off. Mrs. W. inserts this testimony, thinking that the virtues of this pre paration cannot be too generally known, not only in the resto ration and production of hair, but in the cure of nervous and other headaches, and will be happy to answer the enquiries of any respectable person.— Times, Aug. 7 The foregoing will, I trust, be sufficient to prove the efficacy of my Regenerator, which 1 now offer to the nobility and the public ; and I shall merely add that every kind of grease or oil should be avoided, if you wish a New Growth of Hair. As those matters are thrown off by our constitution. no oil or grease can enter the skin, and, therefore, is both objectionable and useleSs. As to its power of producing a New Growth of Human Hair, it is ridiculous to imagine any greasy unction will penetrate the pores 1 Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator is absorbed in a few minutes. _ _ _ Sold in triangular bottles, at 45., 75., and lls. each; and for warded by post, at 4s. 6d ., 7s.

We have received, by extraordinary express from Mar seilles, our letters in anticipation of the overland mail of August. The dates thus received are from Bombay tt) the 31st, Madras to the 20th, and Calcutta to the 14th of August. The wet season was drawing to a close ; the rains had been sufficient and favourable, and there was a prospect of abundant crops. Sir Charles Napier had sent in his formal resignation of the government of Scinde. In the Punjaub the influence of our Resident with the Durbar continued on a firm footing. The Governor-General was to have left Simla on the 20th of August for the seat of Government, by way of Lucknow. Her Majesty's 21st and 50th regiments are the two which will come home—the last when relieved by the 18th, at present at Hong Kong. Some disturbance had arisen in the Jullundur Doab. It appears that since our troops have occupied Jullundur the Mussulnians did not avail themselves of their right to slaughter cattle until lately, when a Mussulman butcher set up his trade outside the city, upon which there was at once a tumultuous assemblage of the Hindoo community, but they were ultimately dispersed by a body of troops. Since that time, up to the latest news—a period of about ten days—murders had been frequent, and the Hindoos had refused to open their grain shops. The father of the butcher who offended in this instance was, we are told, formerly hanged at Jullundur for killing a cow. Another episode still more characteristic of India of old and the half administered native states at the present day, is mentioned from Nepaul. The deposed Mahara jah of Nepaul had been residing for some months at Se-. gowley, on our frontier, notoriously occupied with designs on the life of his enemy, the actual Prime Minister; when in the thick of his intrigues he fell himself into a trap, has been made prisoner himself, and nearly all his sup porters put to the sword. The ex-Maharajah was, it appears, led to believe by the Minister's emissaries that the Nepaul army would rise in his behalf, were he to make his appearance near the territory ; and ac cordingly he secretly collected a number of his adherents, and proceeded a short distance into the Nepaul state, expecting to hear intelligence of the first movement in his favour. There a " chuppao," or night attack, was made by a detachment of the Nepaul troops ; the ex- Rajah's followers, to the number of about 500, were slaughtered, and himself carried off. _ . Tile case of Lieutenant Bird, of the Indian Navy, who had been dismissed with a pension of £lOO a year, was exciting great sympathy throughout India. The import business at Bombay, since the departure of the previous mail, was not to that extent that the fa vourable accounts from the agricultural districts war rrnted, and that usually takes place on the approach of the fine season. The account of the agricultural crops was in general favourable. Money was plentiful, and the banks had raduced their rates of discount 2 per cent. The prospects were good for the opening season of ac tivity ; and when onr communication with the coast is freely re-established, and the inland tradars appear in the market, we expect to witness an extension of tusiness and improved prices of import. There was a very general. inquiry for cotton piece goods. The cotton market was very firm, and prices bad advanced. At one time during the month (August) tonnage was very scarce and wanted, and a vessel was taken up for Liverpool at £7 10 s . per ton, but in consequence of some arrivals of vessels, and the want of suitable cotton for shipment, the rate de clined to £6 10s., which was, however, nominal. Them were several vessels in port at the end of the month, for which there was not produce sufficient to afford em ployment until fresh supplies of cotton come forward. The rate of exchange on London had not varied much during the month, although considerable operations had been effected—say from ls. 11 4 d. to ls. Hid. The mail from China brought a further supply of bills into the market, which had been selling at is. Md. to Is. 11 9-16 d.—the latter is the present rate for first-class paper. At Calcutta there was no material alteration in the position of mercantile affairs. The demand for some of the weighty articles of export fell off after the receipt of the last intelligence from England, but freights having given way a little, buyers of sugar came forward, and the week's operations were to a fair extent in that article. In imports there had been a fair amount of business, though the demand was not of that active character which is generally experienced at the season. A large amount of business had been done in all descriptions of British cotton piece goods. The declining state of ex change in England had continued, and the latest ra t es were quoted at to I_ll l per rupee for first rate 10 months date paper. The freight to London and Liver pool were £8 10s. to £9. per ton. At the Mauritius there was a calm in commerce during July, which is one of the dullest months of the year for business. The continued arrival of specie places matters in a very different position to that of last year as regards exchange, but the high rates of freight, food, provision and labour, as well as the chance of low prices for pro duce were muses for some inquietude. The imports for the quarter had nearly doubled the exports for the quar ter ending June, which is accounted for by the compara tive small portion of the crop issued from April to June. The Exchange on England had not raised.

FINANCES OF RUSSIA.—The finances of Russia are very considerably and rapidly on the increase, and the re venue is at this time certainly above 500,000,000 f. The duty on brandy is the chief source; this amounted in 1844 to about 128,000,000 of paper rubles. PROTECTION IN RUSSIA.—On the 20th ult., a deputa tion from the manufacturers of Prussia had a long confer ence with the King on the subject of manufactures, and prayed his Majesty to revise the tariff, and afford native industry more protection. The King replied that the tariff was arranged for the benefit of the entire commu nity, and not of a class, and that it was impossible to grant their request. The Viceroy of Egypt having of late determined that for the future all soldiers condemned to die should be shot, in place of being beheaded, the new mode of execution was carried into effect at Cairo, the 28th ult. The officer charged with the superintendence of the matter had the prisoner's eyes bandaged, and, fearing some awkwardness on the part of the men appointed to act, ordered a soldier to place his musket close to his ear and fire. Several de tachments of troops were present, and the execution is. said to have produced a marked effect. AN ELEPHANT STORY.—The following (from Malacca) is a strange, if a true, adventure :—" A boat, manned by six Malays, with a cargo consisting of one coyan of rice and half a coyan of salt, while proceeding up the river of Lingey was accidentally intercepted by a large elephant, and the result was an instantaneous swamping of the boat and cargo. The animal came first in contact with the boat at night, while, it appears, in the act of swimming a river or bathing, and then diving, he made a thrust with his tusk, perforating the bottom of the boat. Such was his power of lifting as to bear up the vessel with its contents on his back, and throw it aside ; the boat and cargo foun dered immediately, but the men were lucky enough to elude further molestation, and escaped by swimming ashore." THE CHOLERA.—We give in another column rather a gloomy paragraph as to the progress of this fearful disease. We are glad, however, to find that subsequent advices from Russia are rather more favourable. A letter front Riga, dated the 20th ult. says :—" No further indication has confirmed the report, to which a sudden death had given rise, that the cholera bad manifested itself at Riga. The Civil Governor has even written to all the consuls to contradict that report, and remove the uneasiness which such an announcement was calculated to spread abroad." It was reported at St. Petersburgh that the cholera had appeared there, and that it was for that reason the Court had removed to Moscow. The Journal des Debats, how ever, quotes a letter from St. Petersburgh, of the 18th, mentioning that the epidemy had not yet extended beyond Charkow, that it was much less fatal than formerly, and_ that the mortality was scarcely 1 out of every 20 cases. THE PEACOCK'S TAIL A PROTECTION AGAINST OTHER ANIMALS.—The beauty of the Peacock's plumage was a theme of admiration in the remotest times ; and the bird. was sought after as capable of adding splendour to the, magnificence of Solomon. The chief display of this beauty arises from that arrangement of long and gorgeous feathers which spring from the space between the region behind the wings and the origin behind the wings and the origin of the tail ; but the use of this to the bird itself has been a subject of doubt. At first sight it seems to be no better than a luxuriance of nature, and an encum brance rather than a benefit. The action by which their splendour is outspread has also been deemed an absurd manifestation of pride. But men are imperfect interpre ters of the actions of animals ; and a closer examination of the habits of this bird will afford a different explana tion. The tail of the peacock is of a plain and humble description ; and seems to be of no other use besides aiding in the erection of the long feathers of the loins; while*the latter are supplied at their insertion with an ar rangement of voluntary muscles, which contribute to their elevation, and to the other motions of which they are capable. If surprised by a foe, the peacock presently erects its gorgeous feathers ; and the enemy at once beholds starting up before him a creature which his terror cannot fail to magnify into the hulk implied by the cir cumference of a glittering circle of the most dazzling hues, his attention at the same time being distracted by I a hundred glaring eyes meeting his gaze in every direction. A hiss from the head in the c entre, which in shape and colour resembles 1 hat of a serpent, and a rustle from the trembling quills, are attended by an advance of the most conspicuous portion of this bulk ; which is in itself an action of retreat, being caused by a receding motion of the body of the bird. That must be a bold animal which does not pause at the sight of such an object ; and a short interval is sufficient to ensure the safety of the bird ; but if, after all, the enemy should be bold enough to risk a n assault, it is most likely that its eagerness or rage would be spent on the glittering appendages, in which case t h e creature is divested only of that which a little time ail/ again supply. A like explanation may be offered of the use of the long and curious appendages of the head and neck of various kinds of humming-birds, which, however feeble, are a pugnacious race.—Cotteles Illustrations "I instinct. ..,.~,. _~ -fir REOPENING OF THE WELLINGTON HOTEL & COMMERCIAL INN, HAMILTON-STREET, BIRKENHEAD.
