A lady, who I can refer to, in her assiduous attendance upon her husband during a long and fatal illness, caught cold, and not having taken care of herself, it settled upon her lungs. She was troubled with a dreadful cough, and every symptom of consumption. She applied to her medical man, but did not obtain any relief ; when, upon the recommendation of a friend, she tried Dr. Locock's 'Wafers, which, from the commenc, ment, eased her cough, and by continuing them she is perfectly cured.

Gentlenien,—Having frequently suffered much from relaxa tion of the throat, I have often been obliged to resort to various preparations ; but since I have had the good fortune to try Dr. Loceck's Pulmonic Wafers, I am now but seldom obliged to resort to them, for the extraordinary good effects they have produced are most surprising. Even when the throat appears to be completely exhausted, and the voice to be nearly gone, two or three (at most four) will, in the short space of half an hour or so, completely restore its flexibility and power, and they (10 not act as a mere temporary exciting remedy, nor do they leave any lassitude after. Having felt the great value of the remedy, I feel it a duty to generally recommend it, as I am convinced that all persons will find immense benefit from the general and persevering use of it.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, Ifitnrpioot MORNING, MARCH 29, 1553. THE WEEK. s been a TUE_ SDAY A WEEK, of which the great cessation from labour, in order to mark the anni versary of the death and resurrection of the RE DEEMER, presents but few incidents on which to The almanack tells us that the season is Spring, but the weather has been as severe as in the month of January,—a continuous frost, with bitter cold winds from the North and East, and slight falls of snow, only relieved by bright sun light. Vegetation is consequently kept back, the buds are afraid to open, and the trees are as bare of foliage as they were before Christmas. The ground, however, is dry, and farming operations have been carried on with some activity'; so that, should a fine Summer succeed, we may reasonably expect a fair average harvest, if not something more. The Amusements in Liverpool have, of course, been spare during the past week ; but yesterday, being Easter Monday, they commenced in full activity. At the Theatre Royal, the season was opened with a series of French plays, by the prin cipal artistes of the St. James's Theatre in London. At the Amphitheatre, the legitimate drama has been restored, with " Hamlet," by Mr. GEORGE VANDENHOFF; and "Henry V." is promised for Monday next ; and a Grand Concert, by the Car penter Family, took place at the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street. Several similar entertainments are announced, so that music appears to hold its sway amidst commercial activity. comment Some time since, when the complaint was want of employment, the only remedy that could be devised was Emigration, and the Government was called upon to expatriate the labouring class in order to better the condition of those who remained. The potato-disease and misgovernment in Ireland, as well as the goad discoveries in the remotest regions of the earth, have stimulated emigration to an extent never dreamed of by those who were its warmest advocates, and we are now beginning to reap some of the fruits of this decimation of the industrious population. We have as yet had no excessive high prices of the necessaries of life, nor any apprehen- sions of scarcity; the rise has been so gradual as scarcely to be perceptible; and no man could prove any substantial disadvantage from increased cost of living. But the working man has discovered his improved value in the scarcity of his comp e tit ors , for emigration has thinned the ranks; and those who formerly were content to get regular employ ment at the current rate of wages, now boldly demand an advance, in most cases amounting to three shillings a week. Liverpool, within the last few days, has witnessed a series of strikes for the higher remuneration of labour, to which the masters have felt themselves compelled to submit; and this movement has not been confined to skilled artisans, who may be supposed to have less to dread from competition, but has extended to the porters em ployed at the different railway stations, who have succeeded in their object, owing to the necessity of the case depriving their employers of a remedy. It is gratifying to be able to report that there is full employment in Liverpool for every man who is willing to work; but we would caution those who have been so ready to take advantage of the neces sity for their services, to beware of the consequences. There are many thousands of able and industrious men in this country to whom the rate of wages weekly paid would have been a strong temptation to migrate from their homes, had employment been assured them. Changes, when avoidable, are however to be condemned ; yet now the masters in Liverpool have been, furnished with ample justifi cation for looking elsewhere for servants; and since the facilities of railway communication are so great, many of these will not be slow to avail themselves of the opportunity. Another disadvantage attend ing such strikes is, that the enhancement of the wages of labour, by rendering the work unprofitable to the employer, often leads to its being done without ; so that, by over-reaching, the workman loses all. On Wednesday a melancholy accident occurred near Wigan, by an explosion in a colliery belonging to the Ince Hall Coal Company. So fatal a dis aster is almost unparalleled in the annals of colliery explosions, as many as forty-five lives having been sacrificed. In such cases it is difficult to tell where the blame rests; but in hazardous pursuits the observance of rules for safety should be despotically enforced, as men constantly exposed to danger are usually the most reckless. PURITY OF ELECTION.—That a flue should have caught flee in Windsor Castle, to the im minent peril and partial injury of that noble build ing, is quite in the ordinary course of events. Flues are made to catch fire. The mishaps of the miserable steamer Australian, waterlogged ap parently by the weight of her own coal, are still less surprising. Nor can we lift up our hands or eyes at the disclosures which Mr. Duncombe's pleasant malice has elicted from the Norwich petition inquiry by simply letting several angry men question each other to their hearts' content. The substance of these disclosures is merely that Colonel Forester has acquired (by occupancy, we suppose) a sort of property in one of the dressing rooms at the Carlton, where he keeps (like Miss Flite) his " documents," and sees Mr. Brown ; that constituencies in want of candidates may be accommodated by the same gentleman, with secrecy and despatch; that petitions, good, bad, and in different, are sometimes got up, cancelled, com promised, and manipulated in all sorts of ways " for the good of the party." Facts which can scarcely astonish the most unsophisticated stranger who strays along the pavement of Pall-mall.— Guardian. TIIE CLERGY RESERVES (CANADA) BILL changes its hues as variously as a cameleon. The effect of the vote obtained by - Lord JOIIN RUSSELL on Friday is simply this. If the Canadian Legisla ture secularize the clergy funds, the people of Eng land will probably have to pay out of their own pockets, by taxation, the clergy who give spiritual instruction to the people of Canada. Oxford University must surely blush for Mr. GLADSTONE'S conduct and apology for it on this occasion. He looks on with approbation at the confiscation of Church property ; but acids, as by way of excuse, that he will watch with anxiety as to what the Canadian Parliament may do with the plunder. This is as bad as the apology made by GEORGE SE LWYN when a lady reproved him for his barba rity in being present at the execution of Lord LOVAT. "It is true (said th e w i t ) t h a t I wen t i n the morning to see Lord LovAT's head cut off; but I went also in the afternoon to see the surgeons sew it on again !"—Church and State Gazette. CHRISTIAN EDUCATION. - What we are in danger of forgetting is, that we cannot separate the social and moral progress of the world from that Christianity which is the basis of it all; and, there fore, that it is the more incumbent on us, on all, to guard against a negation of positive Christianity, by substituting an abstract theory o f political science ; and also, against taking all the good fruits of Christianity and the Church without gratitude, and without return. Let us see that, as we im prove in the arts of life, we are not careless of its duties. As we multiply our railways that many may run to and fro, let us also increase our schools, that knowledge may be increased. If we build new cities that men may prosper as to this world, let provision be made for new_ churches that the next world may not be unheeded. If, by the progress of machinery, there is less demand for man's physi cal powers, let us seek to call into beneficial exercise his intellectual gifts. If, in the progress of things, there be a great refinement as to all that is of the earth earthy, let those who enjoy it rise to the true height of their moral dignity, as having destinies that are heavenly. There is much to be done be fore any laudation of our progress in any intrinsic good can be consistent. It is a poor progress that looks no further than this life, and does not carry • men forward to their full capacities. And yet it is this poor progress which just now it is the fashion to exalt and cry up. Men have pulled down their barns and built greater, and multiplied their cities, and magnified their resources. But our home parishes, our colonies, and distant missionary settlements, bear witness that there is a great lack somewhere of the liberality and self.denying energy which should characterise a prosperous Christian country.—Morning Post. EDUCATION IN INDIA.—Most of the crying abominations of Indian mis-rule have been one by one abolished, since the actual Government passed away from Leadenhall-street to Cannon-row. The practice of requiring soldiers to fire salutes in honour of idols, is, we believe, not yet obsolete, although Sir PEREGRINE MAITLAND'S resignation of his command at Madras, was the means of call ing public attention to a practice which could not bear the light of day. But it is in regard to Christian education, that the Government in India is now most worthy of censure. To give no educa tion at all was the object of the Company when merchandise was its chief pursuit. Mr. WILBER FORCE'S efforts to surmount these prejudices were at first circumscribed by the manoeuvres of the" Directors ; and when after thirty years' continuance of Mr. PITT'S double form of Government, Parlia ment interfered, it was only to compel the Govern ment to give £lO,OOO a-year for the education of a people paying no less than fifteen millions in taxes. We have no confidence in any scheme of education likely to be proposed by Mr. BRIGHT, but it was humiliating to hear him say, and say with truth, before the House of Commons, that the City of Manchester, with 400,000 inhabitants, expended yearly twents, times as much, "in improvements for the benefit of the people," as the India Company had expended for the education of the millions and millions of human beings committed to their care. —Record. FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE. —An imperial decree announces that a universal exhibition of agricultural and industrial produc tions will take place in Paris, in the Palace of Industry in the Champs Elysees, on the Ist May, 1855, to close on the 30th . September. A Paris correspondent intimates that the Emperor has skilfully availed himself of the desire of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, to come to terms about the residence of foreign refugees, to obtain the consent of the respective Courts to his coronation by the Pope, (about the 10th of May,) in imitation of Napoleon and Charlemagne; but whether anything may upset this arrangement is another question ; many things may, and as a not improbable one he instances the renewal of his dispute relative to the custody of the holy Shrines, which would perhaps have been a cause of serious misunderstanding between France and Russia, if the former had nor drawn back when the latter signified dissatisfaction and maintained ler claims. A letter from Bayonne of the lith inst. states that the fever of emigration appears to increase in that neighbour. hood. The ships now clearing out for Montevideo have on board 600 young and healthy Basques as passengers. The Marseilles papers of the 22d announce that on the 20th a violent storm had caused numerous casualties. All the ships moored in the new port had more or less suffered. A hundred pleasure-boats had been sunk. The English steamer Caradoc, dragging her anchors, was only enabled to secure herself by the use of her engines. The departure of the Levant packet Lougsor had been delayed, to wait for despatches from the government. ITALY.—The Pope of Rome, at the request of the Dutch Government, has created an Archbishop of Utrecht, and four Suffragan Bishops. PRUSSIA.—The King of Prussia, it is said, will positively go to Vienna on the first of April, on a visit to the Emperor of Austria. The members of the Zollverein Conference held a sitting on the 17th, s►hen all un reservedly approved the accession of Hanover to the union. A letter from Berlin, of the 18th, says :—" The President of the Council presented to the Chambers to-day the treaty of Commerce concluded between Prussia and Austria." The Chambers were adjourned to sth April. AUSTRIA.—His Apostolic Majesty Francis Joseph has just received a valuable present from Rome ; it is a tooth said to have been taken by his Holiness's own fin gers from the jaw of St. Peter. This relic was presented on the 17th by the Nuncio, Cardinal Viale Prela in a costly " Ostensorium." , TURKEY.— Accounts from Constantinople dwell prin cipally on the mission of the Russian Minister of Marine, General Prince Menschikoff, and are of considerable in terest and importance. Before embarking at Odessa, he passed a review of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea, and of the corps of disembarkation which Russia has kept on a war-footing in the port of Sebastopol since 1833. Twenty-seven vessels of war—ships of the line, frigates. or large steamers—and 30,000 soldiers were assembled. The general then proceeded to Constantinople on board the Russian war-steamer the Foudrovant, and arrived in that city on the 28th of February. He was accompanied by Count Diinitri Nesselrode, as secretary ; by two gene rals, by two admirals, by two colonels and two lieutenant colonels, as aides-de-camp, and by five captains as orderly officers. Since the celebrated embassy of Koutousoff at the end of the last century, no mission of this kind has been seen at Constantinople. Prince Menschikoff and his suite were received, on disembarking at Topkhane, by all the employKy of the Russian Embassy, and by between 6,000 and 8,000 members of the Greek religion ; and he was escorted by them with great pomp to his hotel. On the 2d of March the Prince went to the Porte to pay a visit to the Grand Vizier, but, contrary to all usages, he did not appear in the uniform of his rank, but in plain clothes. What took place at the interview is not pre cisely known ; but what is certain is, that when, on taking his leave, the Grand Vizier invited him, in con formity with the diplomatic usage at Constantinople, to pay a visit to the Minister of Forei g n Affairs, Fuad Effendi, who was waiting to receive him, he replied that he would not see that minister, as his government, and especially its accredited ministe r as Constantinople, M. Ozeroff, had to reproach him with several breaches of faith. In consequence of this, Fuad Effendi gave in his resignation. It is said in one of the letters from Con stantinople that the Prince demanded, in the name of his government, that the Emperor of Russia should henceforth be officially recognised as the protector of the Greek Christians, subjects of Turkey, as France has been for some centuries of the Catholics in the Levant ; and that the election of the patriarch of Constantinople should henceforth be made by the Greeks, and confirmed by the Emperor of Russia, to the exclusion of the Sultan, who at present has the right of nomination and investiture. The day after this interview Fuad Effendi was replaced by Rifaat Pacha, who has been nominated ambassador at Vienna, and who is considered one of the chiefs of what is called the Austrian party at Constantinople. The ministers held a council the same day, and put them selves in communicatio n with the foreign diplomatic body. Some days after Prince Menschikoff had his audi ence of the Grand Vizier, Colonel Rose, the British Charge d'Affaires at Constantinople, either upon the solicitation of the Turkish government, or of his own idea, sent a steamer to Malta, with a request to Admiral Dundas that he would bring her Majesty's fleet in the Mediterranean to Basika-bay or some point near the mouth of the Dardanelles. The French Charo d'Affaires at Constantinople, on being consulted by his colleague, did not concur in the measure proposed by Colonel Rose. Upon the arrival of the Wasp steamer at Malta with this request from Colonel Rose, Admiral Pandas was of opi nion that his instructions did not enable him to comply with it under the circumstances alleged to have occurred. The fleet, therefore, remains in harbour. The English fleet had not left Malta down to the latest accounts received from that place. In connection with this movement it is affirmed in a letter from Paris, that a treaty—the details of which have not transpired—has ac tually been signed between England and France, with a view to concerted action in the affairs of Turkey, in given circumstances. Lord Stratford de Redcliffe has left Paris by way of Vienna, to embark at Trieste upon a steam-boat waiting there to receive him. The French fleet, under the orders of Vice-Admiral De La Susse, left Toulon, on Tuesday. It was composed of eight sailing vessels of war and four steamers. It will be joined by the four steamers stationed in the Archipelago, commanded by Rear-Admiral Romain Des Fosses. The English squadron consists of five ships-of-the-line, three frigates, two corvettes, and twelve steamers; and the Turkish fleet, of four ships-of-the-line, three frigates, eight brigs, and six steamers. The force of the Turkish fleet will be doubled by the junction of the Egyptian ships. The Russian fleet at Sebastopol was composed of thirteen ships-of-the-line, eight frigates, and other ves sels of less force. Accounts from C ons t an ti nop l e to th e 14th instant, via Vienna, state that Prince Menschikoff had his audience of the Sultan on the 9th, and made known to him the demands of his government. As far as has already transpired, these demands differ in many respects from what had been at first announced ; the Russian ultimatum is said to be much less severe and of more easy acceptance. The language of Prince Menschikoff is, moreover, said to have been very moderate, and the Sul tan and the Envoy Extraordinary of the Emperor Nicho las are said to have parted well satisfied with each other. A Paris correspondent, writing on Tuesday, says : " I have just learned that the Turkish ambassador in Paris has received despatches from Constantinople, which announce that the negotiations between Prince Menschi koff and the Porte are already terminated ; that Prince Menschikoff made some modifications in the pretensions which he at first announced ; and that the Sultan has accepted the modified propositions. I also understand that at a council of ministers, held this day at the Tuile ries, at which Louis Napoleon presided, it was stated that the affair might be cons'dered as terminated, and that all danger of a rupture of the public peace was at an end." MONTENEGRO.—The retreat of the Turks from Montenegro has been disastrous in the extreme. As soon as Omer Pasha received his instructions from Constanti nople, which were conveyed to him in five days (the Tartar rode seven horses to death between the Turkish capital and Spuss) he proceeded to obey them. On the 25th, after leaving a strong garrison in Spuss, with 20 cannon, under the command of his youthful nephew, Tesvik Bey, the Marshal marched south towards Pod. gorizza. The weather was execrable, and Omer Pasha's aim was by forced marches to reach Podgorizza, or perhaps Scutari, before his enemies could throw any serious difficulties in his way. The army had to cross the Zetta, which had left its banks and transformed the whole country around into swamps and lakes. The irregular troops formed the van, the artillery followed, then came the Nizam (regulars), and lastly the cavalry. In this order the troops commenced their march, but the "bottomless" roads and the difficulties presented by the terrain soon threw them into confusion. A detachment of Montenegrins, which had passed the night in a convent on the frontiers of the nahia Piperska (probably Piperi), at break of day fell upon the van, while a stronger corps took the Turks in the rear. Omer Pasha attempted to bring his artillery to bear upon the enemy - , but this, owing to the nature of.the ground, was soon found to be impossible. The Turkish General had calculated on finding Osman Pasha's corps at Dioklea (the birth-place of the Emperor Diocletian), but that commander, it appears, had already been obliged to evacuate Montenegro. Half-dead with fatigue, the troops pushed on to a place called Rogani, which they did not reach till after midnight. The Monteneg sight of the retreating corps for a single moment, sit, rins did not lose bales of horse were continually sent out to disperse them. On the approach of the cavalry the Montenegrins threw themselves flat on the ground, and fired with such deadly effect that the Turks, who did not know where to seek the enemy, 'a ecame confused and dismayed. During the following night the Montenegrins threw up strong entrenchments, and as the hlussulmans marched in the morning towards Beri, they were exposed to a most galling fire. As the inhabitants of the mountainous districts of the Berda nabias continually poured in to the assistance of their countrymen, it was in vain that fierce attempts were made to force the entrenchments. Late in the evening of the 26th the Pasha succeeded in reaching Podgorizza with his worn-out troops. The loss on the part of the Turks must have been very great, as the line of retreat was strewed with their dead bodies. The bodies of 1,913 horses, which had fallen victims to the inclemency of the weather, have been counted on the table-land of Grahovo. - AMERICA.—By the United States mail steam-ship Humbcldt, which touched off Cowes, on Thursday night, en route for Havre, we have accounts from New York to the 13th instant, being four days later. On the 13th instant, when fifteen miles east of Sandy Hook, the Humboldt spoke the British and North Ame rican mail-steamer Africa, bound in, and then fifteen days out from Liverpool. The screw steam-ship Glasgow arrived at New York, from the Clyde, on the 12th instant. On the 20th instant, in lat. 48.30, long. 29.23, the Humboldt passed the wreck of a large ship with mainmast gone a few feet above the deck, fore and wizen masts gone below the tops ; the bulwarks were gone and the decks swept. She appeared to be waterlogged. Her model appeared to be English. The American papers are chiefly occupied with accounts of the proceedings in the senate at Washington, and of the immense intriguing going on at the capital by the swarms of office-seekers who are laying diligent siege to the new President and his cabinet. Intelligence from New Orleans, of the 9th instant, says :—Cotton has been in brisk demand during the last foal. days, the sales reaching 54,000 bales. The increased receipts at all the southern ports over the same time last year now amount to 529,000 bales. Prices are firm. FOREIGN MISCELLANY THE New York Journal of Commerce denies the state ment that the French government had ordered a " fleet of war-steamers" to be built in New York. THE CORONATION OF THE EMPEROR AND THE EM PRESS.—lmmediately after the Easter holydays the doors of Notre Dame will be closed to the public, and the pre parations for the coronation will commence. MISS FREDERICA BREMER promises to publish 8 work on American slavery. She has excited the ire of the South by saying that she has witnessed worse things than those described in " Uncle Tom's Cabin." IMPERIAL TASTE.—A Frankfort journal states that it is able to communicate the interesting fact that General O'Donnell has received from the Archduchess Sophia, in memorial of the service he rendered the Emperor on the 18th ult., a gold ring with a large turquoise. Under the stone are several hairs of the Emperor, clotted with the Imperial blood. ENORMOUS AVALANCHE.—An enormous avalanche of snow fell a few days ago from:one of the high mountains at Reboul, department of the Ariege. It swept away crops, trees, and detached houses, and completely buried the hamlet, with all its population. 400 men from the adja cent village immediately assembled, and after a great deal of labour, succeeded in rescuing 12 persons ; they were all sadly bruised and partly frozen, but it is hoped they will recover. Nine dead bodies, three of them children, were dug out of the ruins ; as were also a number of horses and oxen. THE SYDNEY PAPERS attack Melbourne with much fierceness, as the scene of lawless plunder and the land of murders. The Victorians are incensed at the aspersions, and request Sydney editors not to give currency to false hoods, which can only have the effect of retarding the progress of British emigration—already impeded to a great enough extent by the foul name of Botany Bay. THE GOLD FIELDS MANAGEMENT BILL, which had passed through committee of the Sydney Legislature in December last, imposes a double license upon foreigners ; all persons suspected to be aliens shall be deemed to be such, unlegs they prove the contrary ; and a fee of £25 is to be paid by applicants for quarterly " claims," as a test of their bona fides ! The diggers declare that, if this bill passes, they and the diggins are done for. BLACK MILITIA.—It is in contemplation to build a barrack for 300 men, at Cape St. Mary, a most salubrious spot, about eight miles from Bathurst, on the Gambia, and also permanently to embody the militia in that colony. Percussion muskets have already been shipped for that force, and the clothing is being prepared without delay. The strength of the regular troops (black) at pre sent in garrison does not exceed 180 rank and file. — United Service Gazette. ECUADOR.—Letters from Guayaquil, dated February 1, received by the West India mail, announce the dis covery of gold deposits in the Republic of Ecuador, at a place called Jama. Nothing appears to have been ascer tained with regard to their extent, but various rumours were in circulation, some of which represented the riches of the district to be extremely great. About 400 persons are stated to have proceeded there from the surrounding districts, and two vessels were about to take passengers from Guayaquil to the nearest point by which the mines could be reached from the coast. A WHOLESALE MURDERER.—A horrible discovery has been made by the police of Toulon. For some time past public rumour signalised a house, occupied by an agent for finding substitutes for the army, as the theatre of a series of atrocious dramas. Minute searches having been made, about 20 corpses buried in the cellars of the house were found. It appears that the victims were successively assassinated, and that the death of the first took place several years ago. The confessions of a woman in her last moments placed, we are assured, justice on the trace of the crimes. The victims were military substitutes received by the Conseils de Revision; and the man mur dered them in order not to have to pay the price of their enrolment." THE FORTY THIEVES IN PARIS. -- The police of Paris have just arrested a band of forty thieves, amongst whom are several children, aged 12 or 14. This band was under the orders of a man who has been several times condemned by justice. From his ignoble ugliness he was nicknamed " Tete de Morte," and all the band had nicknames. The second in command was called " Fine Oreille," and the other chief bore the names of the " Anguille," the " mil .A.mtiricain," the "Flancheur," "Mort a la Rousse," &c. The gang practised different species of robberies. The band were accustomed to take their meals together in a lodging house in the Rue Beaubourg, and every Sunday a division of the profits was made amongst them according to a scale fixed by " Tete de Mort." All the gang and the chief were captured at the same time, and a considerable quan tity of different sorts of booty was seized.—French paper. THE WILD MAN OF ALABAMA.—A wild man named Goings (says an American paper), originally from East Tenessee, who has been living in the hollow of trees and caves, and who has frequently been mentioned in the newspapers, was recently captured near Florence, Ala bama. He is from 25 to 30 years of age. He had been surprised several times by parties, and tales of romantic encounters with him were deemed fabulous heretofore. Last December an attempt was made to capture him, but he eluded his pursuers, and forsook his then quarters in the hollow of a chestnut tree. A pack of bounds after wards got on his trail, but owing to the rugged character of the country, the horsemen could not keep up, and the fugitive was lost in the waters of Shoal Creek. All fur ther pursuit was then abandoned, and many believed the whole story fabulous, until last Sunday week, a boy, belonging to A. P. Neely, reported to his master that he had seen a man upon the bluffs near a noted cave, on the plantation of Judge Posey. Mr. Neely immediately col lected a number of gentlemen, and proceeded to the spot indicated. The day was one of the most inclement of the season. On nearing the mouth of the cave, they disco vered the shivering form of the poor wretch buried be neath a covering of straw. He paid no attention to their summons to come forth, and one of the company (thought lessly we hope) tossed in a dog, which, making a furious assault, brought the hapless recluse to his feet. He then came out in a state of almost perfect nudity, presenting a picture of abject misery and squalid wretchedness, which utterly beggars all description, and we shall not attempt it. He appeared perfectly sane, but gave no satisfactory reasons for his singular conduct, beyond a general charge that the world had treated him badly, and he had deter mined to come out from it. He protested that he had done no man harm, and begged to be allowed to continue his solitary life, but he finally agreed to go home with Mr. Eastrage, which he did, and when we last heard of him he was suffering from a violent cold, contracted no doubt by his sudden change from a worse than savage to a civi lised life. ADVERTISEMENT EXTRAORDINARY. — We extract the following from the New York Tribune :—" Boarders wanted.—A middle-aged lady, who has once enjoyed the smiles of fortune, but who, from inevitable causes, has be come somewhat reduced in her circumstances, proposes opening a respectable, not genteel, boarding-house in this city, provided she can obtain a limited number of boarders who can appreciate good living and are willing to pay for it. Her house is new, convenient, and in a pleasant location — her table will be supplied with good substantial food, well-cooked ; athletic butter, equivocal eggs, promiscuous hash, malignant coffee with consumptive milk will be ex cluded—neither will she regale her guests with the grizzle of the patient ox, burnt up in his own tallow : having her regular grocer, milkman, and butcher—she is under no necessity of scouring the market to obtain articles half a cent per pound under price, which are 'good enoughfor boarders.' Those who are willing to live on buckwheat cakes exclusively will be charged half price only, but will not be guaranteed against salt rheum and cancers; ginger snaps and hot water will be provided for those who wear false teeth, if required—but those who have sound teeth and healthy gums are advised to give this compound a wide berth—comfort not show being her aim. The kitchen will be looked into occasionally if the parlours get less furbishing ; not having any male or female pets to clothe and feed out of her boarders, she will not be obliged to curtail in her table to meet such expenses; and having two ears with one tongue, will devote twice the time to hearing what her boarders wish that some do in taking away their appetites. What leisure she may have will be devoted more to her own personal cleanliness than ogling and smelling round boarders' rooms to find out their habits. Boarders' religious creeds and political opinions will form no part of her solicitude, and as she does not covet the marriage state, will not keep up a tiresome, toady gabble, to some particular guest of eligible age and fortune. Those desirous of finding a home of this description, will please address Mrs. Ann T. Mak Lean, at this office." ECCLESIASTICAL. DIOCESE OF CHESTER Preferments : The Rev.

He has brought home with him to St. John's College for education twenty two boys and two girls, and might have brought hundreds, had he had the means of conveyance and maintenance. TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 1853. IRELAND. nip: Limerick Chronicle says that every person com mitted to Clonmel gaol for being drunk in the streets is immediately submitted to the operation of the stomach pump, and for this the apothecary of the prison receives as his fee is. 6d. NATIONAL DEFENCES.-It is stated that the Board of Ordnance have determined to erect a battery on the eastern pier of Kingstown Harbour, consisting of guns of large calibre, for the protection of the harbour and the approaches to the River Liffey. MALICIOUS BURNING.—On the night of the 22d inst., a house, the property of Sir Percy Nugent, Bart., was maliciously burned on the lands of Ballinruddera. Ten pounds reward has been offered for the discovery of the incendiaries. THE REPORT of the president of the Queen's College, Galway, for the past academic year, has been published. It states that " a considerable increase in the number of students has taken place within the year," and that the reports of the professors exhibit favourably the amount of their application and improvement. GOLD IN MAYO.—The fact of the existence of gold in the soil of Mayo was established last week, in the yard of Mr. Brennan, where his workmen were sinking a hole for the erection of his gasometer. The ore found has been tested by Dr. Atkinson, who pronounced it to be pure gold.—Castlebar Telegraph. IMPORTATION OF CATTLE FROM ENGLAND.—It 15 3 strange revolution in the affairs of Ireland, when cattle of every kind are being severally imported from England and Scotland to different parts of the kingdom. Up wards of 20 graziers in the neighbourhood of Galway are about to proceed to the next Chester fair, to purchase a number of calves.—Galway Packet. DEATH OF DR. GRAVES.—This distinguished physi cian died on Monday last week, on his 56th birthday, at his residence in Dublin. Dr. Graves, who stood de servedly high among the brightest ornaments of his pro fession, was the founder of the clinical system of instruc tion which has been so successful in the Dublin School of Medicine. COURT-MARTIAL.—A general court-martial will as semble in Dublin this day (Tuesday), under the presidency of Colonel the Hon. J. G. Scarlett, sth Dragoon Guards, for the trial of Captain Blosse, of the Royal Artillery, stationed in this garrison, on a charge preferred against him by the Assistant Adjutant-General of the Royal Artil lery in Ireland. MANIFESTO FROM MR. W. S. O'BruEisi.—The Nation f c r o o n m t ar i s r a elaborate W. .s.O'Brien, o c m a r e h f i u s l I p y l c c o eo p f osed Van Diemen's Land, addressed thus :—" To the Nobility, Clergy, Members of Parliament, Corporate Bodies, and Gentlemen who have memorialised in favour of the Irish state prisoners now living in penal exile in Van Diemen's Land." ATTACK ON ROMISH CHAPELS. It is stated from Naas, that there is great excitement there. Several Chapels have been broken into and robbed all around— Newbridge, Kildare, &e.,—the Chapel at Naas on two occasions; the mass books torn, the valuable ornaments carried away, and no clue as yet to the perpetrators. The priests threatened at the altar that whoever did it would be turned into goats, but al to no purpose—the plunder ing still goes on. THE MEMORY OF THE DEAD.—Mr. Charles Bianconi, who is at present in Rome, writes to the Telegraph, say ing that he has found there the heart of O'Connell in the same condition in which it was deposited by the hands of t of e agitator . ethreect ionof a mo nument Nothing in has pnectstoor h the deceased, and accordingly Mr. 3R rr. been bailey , iea mn t one w ne t i e i, hi se t i h t fe al c e i locs of s "alien," declares, that if none others will take upon themselves to accomplish something worthy of the man, he will, at his own expense, raise a monument to perpetuate the memory of Mr. O'Connell in Rome. THE EXODUS.—The accounts still continue the tale of many past weeks, that the tide of emigration is growing stronger rather than weaker. The Galway Packet states that every post from America brings its supply ofremittances, upon the receipt of which crowds hurry away. Neither is the tide alone from the west, other provinces furnish their quota. The Tipperary Free Press states that on Thurs day forty " stalwart men and fair women," tenants and labourers of Lord Donoughmore, passed through the tovsn on their way to Liverpool for embarkation. On F r id ay, 320 sailed from Waterford. Judging from appearances, " the majority appeared to have been comfortabl e a t h ome, but seeing no prospect of advancing, they have made the far West the land of their adoption. The Clomel Chro nicle, writing upon the same engrossing topic, states that according as the season progresses, the fli g ht o f th e people marches with it, adding Wholeparishes are pre paring to leave the upper part of this cou n ty, an d t h e i solated g roups which pass through this town onward to Waterford en route to Liverpool, there to take shipping for the far West, present to our eyes a very painful spectacle indeed, inasmuch as they demonstrate the miserable state of our country. Within the last ten days, upwards of 150 per sons of both sexes left Clonmel upon Bianconi's long cars to Waterford; and when we add to them, if in our power to do so, the numbers w hi c h h ave passe d on e i t h er th e i r own or hired cars or drays, th e amoun t wou ld b e re ally as tonishing, if not incredible. Such it is, however, and where it will end, no one can tell. The number of letters from all parts of the States passing through the Post-office here, and disp erse d a ll over the country i s amaz in g ; and it is calculated that 95 at least out of every 100 contain remittances to pay the passage of either one, two, or per haps thre e ou t o f every f am i ly. S pr i ng wor k is very brisk, and better wages are g i v i ng ; a nd the result is, that be tween the flight of the people, the scarcity of labourers, and the advance in the labour market, neither her Majesty's recruiting officer, nor the serpent of the llon. East India Company, although the latter have lowered the standard, can do business. No idlers, and therefore no recruits." SINGULAR ATTACK UPON A LIVERPOOL CLERGYMAN BY A MAD *OMAN. • Ann Drummond, a woman labouring under a singular delusion, was charged at the Police-court, on ThursdaYt with using abusive and threatening language to the Rev' J.
