JACKSON, Esq.. in the Chair. Mr. FIDLER read the minutes of last meeting. Mr. REYNOLDSON detailed cases he has treated since the last meeting, of St, Vitus' Dance, Paralysis, Rheumatic Pain, ten dency to Consumption, &c., wherein the happiest effects have resulted from Magnetic action. The CHAIRMAN confirmed Mr. Reynoldson's statements, from his own knowledge of some of these cases, so did Messrs. Fidler and Calderwood. The following resolutions were carri animously : Moved by Mr. FIDLER, and sec by Mr. CALDERWOOD, "That we contemplate tl erous Mesmeric experiments that have been successfa carried out in two hospitals of India, with unmixed pleasure, and we hope the day is at hand when English Surgeons will say with Dr. Esdaile, ' it is now a matter of course to attempt to make a person insensible before opera ting upon him. I consider it cruelty, in fact, not to do so.' On the motion of Mr. SAMUEL, seconded by Mr. REYNOLDSON, "That important as Mesmerism is in producing insensibility to pain, in cases of surgical operation, this meeting believes it to be of no less importance, as a curative agent, in cases of acute and chronic diseases." Moved by Mr. FIDLER. seconded by Mr. SAMUF.LL, " That the name of this Society be altered to the Liverpool Medical Mesmeric Society." Moved by Dr. CAMILLo MASETO, seconded by Mr. FIDLER, " That the thanks of this meeting be given to S. B. Jackson, Esq." Adjourned to Wednesday, May 27, 1846.

A MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE PREVENTED. On Saturday morning, just as the Rev. M. D. Ffrench was about to commence the morning service at St. George's, Hanover-square, London, a license for marriage was pre sented by a lady and gentleman. The clerk, as in duty bound, commenced reading the document, and was much surprised to find that it authorised the performance of the ceremony for parties no less distinguished than the Lady Anna Eliza Mary Temple Nugent Brydges Chandos Grenville, daughter of Richard Plantagenet, Duke and Marquis of Buckingham and Chandos, and Gore Langton, Esq., son of Colonel Gore Langton, M.P. for East So mersetshire. The late hour at which the proposed bride and bridegroom reached the church tendered it impos sible for the ceremony to be performed previous to the morning service. Mr. Ffrench, in the meantime, seeing that the bride and bridegroom were not accompahied by any of their friends, and fearing that the proposed mar riage was a clandestine one, sent a messenger to the Duke of Buckingham to inform him that a marriage in which he was so deeply interested was about to take place. When the information was first conveyed to his Grace he was inclined, as we are informed, to treat it with neglect, un der the impression that such an event was impossible ; but, as the messenger insisted most pertinaciously on the truth of his statement, and his Grace had ascertained that his daughter was absent, he, without further delay, has tened to St. George's Church, and arrived in the vestry room just previous to the conclusion of the morning ser vice. His surprise, on entering the vestry-room, may be better conceived than described. A scene of considerable excitement occurred, in the midst of which the Rev. Mr. Ffrench entered the vestry-room from the church, having just concluded the service. The Duke of Buckingham immediately addressed Mr. Ffrench, expressing his deci ded objection to the performance of the ceremony. On the other hand, Mr. Gore Langton and the lady claimed as a matter of right that the ceremony should proceed im mediately. Mr. Ffrench calmly stated that his duty did not afford him any option. The parties were, it appeared, of mature age, the license was in all respects sufficient, and he was bound to perform the ceremony without further delay. It would be vain to 'attempt to describe the urgent solicitations on the one hand, and the decided resistance offered by his Grace on the other. 'I he details of a scene of so much excitement must of necessity be imperfect, and painful, on reflection in calmer moments, to all those con cerned. His Grace urged his objection to this clandestine union in the strongest terms; he appealed to Mr. Ffrench, and undertook to bold him harmless from any penalties incurred by disobeying the terms of the license : and finally, Mr. Ffrench, overcome by the entreaties of his Grace, declined to perform the ceremony. After some further delay, the lady retired with her father, and Mr. Gore Langton retired to his residence; both evincing se vere disappointment at this unexpected interruption to their anticipated happiness. We believe we may add that, whatever may have been the surprise of both the Duke and Duchess at the disco very of an attachment AO ardent. and so unlooked for by them, their objet ion applies chiefly to the clandestine manner in which the union was about to take place; and that in a few days the ceremony will be performed in a manner worthy of the daughter of the house of Grenville. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. Ow EXPRESS.) LONDON CORN EXCHANSE.—YiesTrRoAr. The supply of wheat from Essex and Suffolk fresh up for thia morning was better than for some time past—that from Kent only moderate. The market opened heavily; and, in order to make any progress in sales, it was necessary to submit to a decline of Is to 2s per quarter: to have effected a clearance, a further abatement would have been taken. .4 There was no demand for free foreign or bonded on the spot ; some inquiry, however, was experienced for floating car goes of Polish, Odessa, end Mediten•anean qualities, for Bel gium ; but we did not hear of any sales having been made. Both malting and gr i n di ng Barley must be written ls. per qr. Beans sells freely on fully as good terms, as do also white and maple peas, There is rather a better snpply of oats, which move off slowly at 6d. to is. lower than on tins day se'nnight; good qualities are very scarce. SMITH FIELD MARKET.—YESTERDAY. During the past week, the imports of foreign stock into London have consisted of 24 oxen from Hamburg, 75 oxen and cows, together with 20) sheep, from Rotterdam, and 47 cows, 28 oxen, together with 105 sheep, from Harlingen. At Hull, about 150 head of stock have been received from iloll and. To-bsy we had on offer 76 oxen and cows, as also 120 sheep arrived from the above ports all in excellent condition but which meta dull sale at barely late rates. In theabove areincluded 10 oxen from Prussia, very similar in appearance to those noticed last week. The latter where shipped at Rotterdam. THEATRE ROYAL, ADELPHI. The drama of " Green Bushes" has had a successful run at •this theatre during the week, sustained by the clever impersonation of Miami. by Madame Celeste, and the laughable drolleries of Mr. W. J. Hammond.and Mr. Cooper. It is excellently put upon the stage, and the costumes and scenery are very fine, Miss Lebatt contri buted materially to the gratification of the audience as Nelly O'Neill. A new drama, entitled " The, Cabin Boy," has also been produced, in which Madame Celeste exhi htts her peculiar powers most - - THEATRE ROYAL, WILLIAMSON SQUARE. On Friday evening, Miss Helen Faucit concluded a most successful engagement at this theatre, during the course of which she has succeeded in earning, by the chaste and talented portraitures of some of the leading characters in the English drama, a host of admirers. Her Pauline Deschappelles, in "The Lady of Lyons." is a splendid impersonation. conveying the full meaning of the poet, and occasionally attracting us by those finer developments of passion or feeling which are lest when the character is in ordinary hands, and may have been un observed in the closet. Her Nina Sjorza was beautifully and spiritedly played, as was her Julia, in the " Hunch back," the character selected for her benefit and final ap pearance. . . Last night we had a flying visit from Madame Vestris and Chas. Matthews, and, of course, a full and:fashiona ble house. To-night, it will be seen, Mr. Buckstone's drama of " Green Bushes" is to be introduced; Miami, her original character, by Mrs. Fitzwilliam. IMPORTANT LECIURES.-Our advertising columns announce that, on Thursday, an opening lecture will be delivered in the Music Hall, by J. D. Dwyer, Esq., of the Middle Temple, author of the " University of Bohn, with the College Life of Prince Albert," on the orators of Great Britain and Ireland. Mr. Dwyer has discharged for upwards of twenty years some of the most important duties connected with the parliamentary department of the London press; and, in the performance of those duties, it devolved upon him to describe the solemnities of the three last coronations in Westminsten Abbey. The first lecture will include Chatham, Sheridan, and Grattan. By the aid of these lectures, an accurate know ledge of the main points of our political history may be acquired in a manner likely to make an indelible impres sion on the mind. The Times says, with reference to the lectures, " They abound in very interesting anecdote, and develope, with great felicity of arrangement, the rite and progress of the historical events to which the speeches referred. The lectures were welt delivered, the extracts from speeches were given with the emphasis arrd pauses of a practised elocutionist, and whilst all theatrical bur lesque was avoided, sufficient rhetorical science was dis played to shnw that the lecturer was perfectly matter of his subject." r . el THE RELIGIOUS ANNIVERSARIES. The anniversaries of the great religions societies, which reflect so much honour upon the land, have commenced, and London is now crowded with ministers of every de nomination from all parts of the country. The clergy men from this district, who are hitherto anno unce d to take part in the numerous proceedings are the Rev. J. Stewart, the Rev. Hugh Stowell. and the Rev. Hugh Mc. Neile. Here is one peculiar institution, among the many for which the latter gentleman has pleaded, the principle of which we think might be advantageously adopted in Liverpool, which, as far as we know, possesses nothing of the kind. It is called "The Parochial Girls' School," and belongs to the parish of St. Dunstan in the West. The object of it is thus explained iu a paper cir circulated among the parishioners " The object of the institution is to mainta'n for two years, in a separate house, and under the eye of a fit Ma tron, a select number of the elder Girls taken out of our Parochial Charity Schools, who are during that time wholly provided for, and instructed in the principal duties of household wotk. It can hardly be necessary to add, what the experience of similar institutions has already shown—that for Girls so trained, good situations wilt be easily found. "Since its establishment in 1839, when four girls were plivied on the foundation, twenty-three have been ad mitted in addition: nineteen of whom have left the school, and each has been provided with a good situation. Six of them having remained in their places twelve months, have applied to the committee, and received medals for good cin , enlargingcon s considera ble d etrahe b conduct and b e h av i our , an d t h ere i s no doubt that the others will in d ue ti me app l y f or. and obtain medals also. " "At prese n t, thi s i nst i tut i on affords instruction and maintenance to eight g i r l s , d ou bl e t h e or i g i nal number; andle outlay in has providing s n ec f e o s r sa m r ) il d y es be ir e a r ban incurred, iilr e e a accornodations of the house for their reception." " Such is the plan, in support and for the extension of which the liberal contributions of the parishioners are earnestly requested. hi its origin it was no doubtful or untried speculation, for in many parishes in London such, institutions had previously been founded, and in no in stance had they failed to produce the most benCficial re— sults. In fact, considering the many dangers which beset young females of the poorer class on their first entrance into life, and the injurious influence on society which is sure to follow their being led into evil courses, it may be doubted, whether there is any one description of philan thropic exertion, which possesses claims equally strong on the earnest and liberal support of the benevolent." Perhaps the outline given here may not be without fruit' in Liverpool. The incumbent of St. Dunstan's in the West is desirous of enlarging the foundation, so tts to embrace two additional scholars, for which the small increased capital of £3OO is required. To aid in raising this sum two sermons were preached on Sunday last, one by the Bishop of Winchester, and the other by Mr. M'Neile, before the lord mayor, the sheriff, the alderman of the ward, and the members of the Corporation of London. The Bishop preached in the morning, selecting for the subject of his discourse the paramount duty of employing all our talenti to the glory of God ; and Mr. M'lsieile, in the evening, upon the Saviour's theme, " Feed ye my lambs." Both sermons were of a practical and exhortative character. Mr. M`Neile was an attentive listener to the bishop. The Bishop of Winchester, Dr. Charles Richard Sumner, is a younger brother to the estimable prelate who presides over our own diocese of Chester. The Bishop of Chester was born in 1780, and consecrated in 1828. Toe Bishop of Winchester was bora t en years afterwards, namely, in 1790, but is senior in the prelacy to his brother by two years, having been conse crated Bishop of Llandaff in 1826, soon after which, on the death of Dr. Tomliue, he was translated to the see of Winchester. He is a prelate of the order of the garter, and provincial Sub. dean of Canterbury. On the occa sion of this sermon, he appeared not like his brother of Chester, in a wig; but as the prelates are accustomed to appear on the episcopal bench in the House of Lords, with the badge of the garter conspicuous on his brer st. In personal figure he is taller and stouter than our venera ble diocesan; his preaching, however, is not so impressive in its style, not does he appear to possess anything like the same persuasive powers. We cannot close this brief notice without again suggesting the establishment in Liverpool of at least one institution similar to the " Paro chial Girls' School." The Observer says that in consequence of the multipli city of business in the Colonial Office, Mr. Gladstone has appointed an additional under secretary. The man who was shot in Drury-lane, on Saturday week, is now likely to recover. His assailant stands re manded until Saturday next. Mr. Collins, an extensive owner of New York packet ships, has proposed to Congress to build five ships, of 2,000 tons each, and 1000 horse power, exceeding in speed and strength any that ever sailed, to carry the United States mail between New York and Liverpool, for 385,000 dollars a year. THE BAZAAR AT THE COLLEGIATE.—We are requested to state the reason why Lady Douglas has not been men tioned as a contributor of fancy articles to the late Colle giate bazaar. Her ladyship bad taken much pains in pre paring a contribution, which, however, by some casualty,. did not reach its destination before the opening of the bazaar. INFANTICIDE, — Last week we stated that Elizabeth Davidson had been committed for trial on a charge of having deserted her infants, with intent to destroy them, at Smithdown.lane. One of the children, who had been very delicate since its exposure to the cold, died on Mon day last. An inquest was held at the gaol, on Thursday, and a verdict of "Wilful Murder" was returned against the mother. She was present during the examination of the witnesses, and did not manifest the slightest symptom of uneasiness on learning the verdict. STFALINO B, , oxs.—Yesterday, Margaret Judge, and her daughter Ann Myler, were brought before the magis trates on a charge of stealing a Quantity of books and pencils, belonging to Mr. Thomas Kenney, Whitechapel. The complainant stated that he had frequently missed books from his shop, and, from information he received, made some inquiry, when he found that the elder prisoner had sold some books to a woman named Clarke, which he identified as his property. She had acted in the capa city of charwoman at Mr. Kenney's house. The elder prisoner admitted that she stole the books, but said her daughter had notbiog to do with it. Ann Myler was discharged; the other prisoner was con mit ed to gaol for a month. LORD BROUGHAM AGAIN.—On Thursday, several pe titions were presented against the Charitable Trusts Bill, and ore wa: presented in its favour. Lord Brougham had the oddity entrusted to him, and thus did he perform his mission :—" He had now to present a petition from a worthy and respectable individual, praying that their lordships would pass the bill into a law, because be did. not approve of the jobbing, the corruption, the guzzling, the piffling, and the bribery, and every ot her vice which his noble and learned friends near him patronized— (lauctiter,)—though not in their own persons. (Renewed laughter.) The bill would be brought on in due time, and he hoped their lordrhips would give it their due sanction!' DEATH OF A FATHER AND SON BY SUFFOCA7I3N.—• A very afflicting accident took place last week in the works of Messrs. Bagnall, Toll End, by which a father and son Jost their lives. It appears that. on Saturday uturntug, Tourners conform, vne orrne men engaged In the works went into a pit through which the pipes that supply the works with gas empty themselves, for the purpose of pulling out the plugs and letting out the water. In doing so, a great quantity of gas rushed out, and the unfortu nate man must have been immediately suffocated. Not rtturning out of the pit, which was only three or four feet deep, the son hastened to his father's assistance, when he, too, was overcome with the gas, and fell down senseless. The young man was drawn out a few minutes afterwards, but he was quite dead.— Wo/verhampton Chronicle. A society has been founedd in Liverpool for the pur pose of investigating, in a scientific manner, the curative poser, and those curious phenomena, of mesmerism, which have been broeght before us by lectLrir , who so j,,urn for a few days or weeks, shew their experiments, and pass on. Dr. Esdaile has performed mane operations in India, painlessly, during the mesmeric sleep. Details of his cases are published in the " Zoist," a work edited by men whose religious sentiments we entirely condemn. It is a matter of deep regret to many religious individuals who have known beneficial results to ensue from magnetic treatment, that the subject has been so long left to the advocacy of meo who trace every result to material causes. Surely when facts are thus multiplying around us, our best and wisest men should lend their aid to ameliorate human suffering, and not leave such an agent in thehands of superstition on the one hand—a mysterious power wherewith to rivet the chains of ignorance —or of infide lity on the other, as a development of truth and powers of nature. The Liverpool Society's report of last meeting will be found in our advertising columns. The Oriental Divan, Clayton-square, was yesterday re-opened by Mr. Feeney, under very favourable auspices. A splendid dinner was set out, and the attendance was such as augurs well for the future prosperity of the con cern.
