In the discount market money was in fair demand at 6 to 7 per cent. for the best bills.--Daily News' City Article. The English funds opened firmly, and showed considerable animation until checked by rumours of an Indian loan. In the discount market there has again been only a moderate demand. No gold was taken from the Bank. Gold is at about the same price in London and Paris, and is about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than at Ham burg. The course of exchange at New York, on London, is about 1041 to 1051 per cent., showing that the exchange is against England, but the loss of interest occasioned by the delay in receiv ing back gold from the American mints leaves little if any profit now on the transmission of gold to the United States. The financial letters from Paris continue with a more favourable tone. The expected India 5 per cent. loan of £3,000,000 will not be delayed much beyond Monday next. British railway stocks closed at a reduction, owing to the unfavourable traffic return.—nnes' Gill Article. Satterthwaite's circular states that the market in London for American securities does not at all respond to the quotations last received from New York, and even at low rates there is more dis position to force sales. The Herald mentions as a proof of the sound state of trade that the mercantile acceptances in the various departments of business continues to be remarkably well met, notwithstanding the enhanced quotations for the negotiation of what may be considered second and third class paper. The LONDON COLONIAL PRODUCE MARKET to-day showed some improvement. Sugar : A good demand was experienced for Muscovado descriptions at rather better prices generally. Coffee : There were no public sales, but the market was steady. Tea : At the sales of 2,609 packages full prices were obtained freely. Rice : There was a good inquiry, but no sales were reported. The LONDON TALLOW MARKET to-day was staady at the following quotations :—Spot, 59s 6d to 59s 9d ; January to March, 59s 6d ;. March alone, 60s ; April to June, 58s 9d to 59s ; October to December, 57s 6d. The BOROUGH HOP MARKET to-day was flat, but compared with yesterday no change has taken place in prices. In the METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET to-day the supply of fat stock was rather on the increase. Beasts were less active, and in some instances prices were the turn lower.

Z i aOLLOWAT'S PILLS AND Os Z THENT. — Consumption is almost invariably preceded by great debility—cough, loss of appetite, and flushes. The alterative and tonic influence of Holloway's invaluable remedies operates like a charm in subduing these formidable symptoms. A course of these purifying Pills should at once be commenced; and at the same time Holloway's Ointment should be briskly rubbed at least twice a day over the back and chest. The Ointment is more effective when used after sponging with warm brine and well drying. The conjoint effect of this treatment is marvellous; a change for the better is observed within a week, and the improvement steadily pro gresses, the appetite returns, the shortness of breath ceases, and the harassing cough soon vanishes altogether.

Many of the nostrums which arc advertised as all- curat i ve remedips, frequently poison the' life-springs and engender constitutional diseases, which terminate in decay and death. Dr. Kiesow, who was the physician of the Elector of Bavaria, after great experience and long study. discovered a medicine which would remove the disorders of the stomach and liver, and invigorate the • constitution, and he has bequeathed the recipe for the benefit of the world at large. The medicine requires no puff, as itg • virtues have attained a continental celebrity, and arrangements E l ?e n :, have been made for its supply in this country.

Time—Any evening since Christmas. The shadows of night were coming down swift, And the dazzling snow lay drift on drift, As thro' "the Square" a figure did go, Carrying a flag with this motto, O'er a ferehead pale ca me co pi ous h a i r; Yrllow ho His nose refrotah; cothplbxion fair; O'er his tightish eye an auburn lash; His chin Was close shaven, and no moustache. Yellow ho ! Ire stealthily looked " the Square all round," To see if " a peeler" was there to be found. At the big gas lamp he made a stop, As if he meant placing the flag on the top. Yellow ho As Upwards he clambered, he thence did see A number of families sitting at tea; He eyed the dishes and plates tety keen ) To see if his " Yellow' ) was there to be seen. Yellow ho ! "Oh! don't go up," said an old woman, " stop ! It's freezing 'like blazes' up there on t top, You'll tumble off on t'other side ;" But the spectacled stranger loud replied— •` Yellow ho 2" Oh! please don't go up such a shocking eight; Come sleep on my box, said a cabbie bright ; On his pallid cheek a tear-drop come, • But still he remarked, as he upward clomb, Yellow ho ! Look out for the branch of that high cross-tree, Dodge falling ice if any you see. Witk that "the Party" went home to bed, And a sindlar voice replied overhead, Yellow ho At a quarter-past six that same afternoon, An astronomer, taking a look at the moon, Heard spoken above him, as often as twice, The very same words, in a very weak voice, Yellow ho ! When " the peeler" came round at a quarter past seven, He was slow in "his beat," the road being uneven, Found the stranger dead in the drifted snow, Still clutching the flag with this motto— Yes! lifeless, defunct, without a n y doubt, Yellow ho: The "lamp of his being" decidedly out; On the dreary flagstones " poor Kelly" was lying, And 'twas no more use for him to be saying— Yellow Butter ho! RESURGAII! All ye who lament the pbor'Kelly is lost, Just call at the " Butter Place !"--look at his ghost !

Telegrams forwarded through Mr. Reuter's agency, in advance of the China and India mails, hitv e been received. The first instalment of the indemnity has been paid, and all is going on smoothly at Pekin. The weather has become extremely cold, but the health of •the troops has not suffered from that cause. Lord Elgin, in his voyage to Japan, is acaompanied by Sir Hope Grant, which looks like business. At Calcutta the inhabitants had held a monster meeting to piotest against tke excessiveness and unjustifiable nature of the grant made by Sir Charles Wood to tlre deicendants of the usurper and tyrant Tippoo Saib. It is not surprising to find that th enormous military and naval preparations which are being deaselestily pursued in France by the Imperial Government, and the• menacing aspect of the continent,,generally,.. has created- oonsiderable uneasiness among the leading French merchants and traders. Several deputations from matigae 7 , titling towns have waited upon M. RoUher, to ask for explanations as to the political situation. • It is . reported that the Minister of CoMmeree told them that he hoped for the maintenance of peace, but he was careful to. add that this was only his personal opinion, and that the country' would soon knovi what turn events were likely to take by the Em 'peror's speech, and the debate on the address. Count de Persigny is alone supposed to be in the -secret as to the Emperor's foreign policy for 'the year; and the absence: of M. Theuvenel, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, from _the_ imperial consultations above alluded to, is much remarked upon. It is understbod that the one greit injunc tion which such of thel . members of the Corps Legislatif as may have consulted their constituents have received from them, is to " keep the peace if possible.", The Emperor's forthcoming speech at the opening of the Lower Chamber on the 4th pros., is thualookedforward to with a full measure of that eager curiosity and interest, which it is So large a. feature in tho Napoleonie r'eyinze to excite. Austria_ continues her complaints. _to Prince Cbuza on account of the 'want of vigilance . of his Government in preventing proceedings from taking place in the'PrincipalitieS; w'iiieh are dan gerous to her safety. Complaints are also Made . of the negligence of the Turkish and Rouman authorities, in failing to keep watch for cargoes of.arms which have lately ascended the Danube. According to the TVanderer, Austria has signalled to the Porte, in order that it may take ,Precau tions, the presence in the .Mediterranean of five other vessels laden With armaments, including - an English vessel , and a Greek, one. . . Letters from Turin state that the PrincesaClo thilde, whOse arrival there with Prince Napoleon is expected in, a few days, will , probahly , pass the winter in. the .capital.., The belief is that the Prince is entrusted with some mission or secret negotiation relative to, the evacuation of Rome. Both the. government party. and what is called the party of action in Italy seem to have their attention diverted at present from Venice to Rome. Some important stepis evidently expected at an early date with regard to the latter city. Francis 11. still holds . out at Gaeta, spite of the shot and shell of the Piedmontese. "If I fall," he has said, "my death will be,the most glorious claim on the memory of posterity ; if I am taken,- my honour will be safe, and I shall not have "sacrificed the rights of my successors." The Danish .Gevernment ) in 'dontintiation of their warlike •preparations, have ordered the equipment . of a steam squadron of 22 vessels, and a reserve force of 890 sailors to assemble on the Ist of March. The Government" also dimottnees that they are Willing to receiVe merehant captains into the training school for the Royal service. On Wednesday an important' educational con ference was held at Birmingham, at which Sir John Pakington, M.P., presided, and there were also present the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, Lord Lyttleton, Lord Ingestre, Mr. Hill, the Recorder :Of :Birmingham,. Miss Carpenter, Mr, AP., and other friends of education. The object of the meeting was. to discuss the question of, providing for the education of neg lected and destitute children, and to agitate for a renewal of the GOvernnient grant for ragged schools and other attiblishnients of that nature. The Conference .was very fully attended, very great interest being manifested in its proceedings. The chief speakers were the chairman, Mr. Re corder Hill, Miss Carpenter, Dr. Guthrie of Edin burgh, and Lord Lyttleton. Resolutions, expres , sive of the objects of the promoters of the Meeting, were unanimously agreed to, including one to the effeet that it was the duty of the State to give . liberal gnat - idol aid to stich schools, availing itself as in the caseof reformatories, of that voluntary effort which is an essential condition of, our sac- cess ; and a committee was appointed to carry them into effect. On the same day a public meeting, held at Gloucester for the purpose of establishing t Rifle ASSOciation for Gloucestershire, including the cities of Gloucester and Bristol, at Which Earl Ducie, the Lord Lieutenant, presided, was ad dressed by the Earl of Ellenborough and Mr. lotheron Estcourt. The rules of the proposed association, the main feature of which is an occasional rifle contest for members of the corps, and special prizes for all corners, were agreed to amid loud cheers. Lord Ellenborough, .in' the course of his speech, observed, with reference to the present political asnect of affairs on the Con tinent, that he could not believe there was in the country any man who did not desire the per manence of the volunteer movement, for he believed that on it depended the future security of the country; and his lordship added that the reasons were much greater now for desiring its permanence than when it was first established. It is remarked with reference to the attempted explanation which we quoted yesterday from the Times, with regard to the efflux of £3,000,000 gold to New York, and the effects it has produced, that it has not been very satisfactory to those -,vho have watched the current of events, and who remember the predictions uttered by the same authority. Gold has gone to this extent, and the shipments which have been made have realised a profit; and at present no parcels have returned; as they did in 1857 ; unpacked, with the loss of freight, insurance, &c. A considerable portion of the amount has been absorbed in the payment of cotton and breadstuffs, and though the .money market at New York has been put in a better condition in consequence of these imports, still the balance of trade is against us. The seriousness of the situation is tlOt yet wholly averted; and much disposed as most people may be to await quietly the issue of the question, the fact that it arises from political agitation. of the most dangerous character, and not from financial disorganisation, ought to be carefully taken into -consideration, As to the parties who have shipped bullion, the list, it wassupposed i included the principal American houses in London, Liver pool, and Manchester, but if other establishments also have taken up these operations,• all that can be said is, they appear to have been more far-seeing than their neighbours. The London Court of Bankruptcy, on Wednes day, was again occupied the entire day with the great leather case of Laurence, Mortimore, and Schrader. Mr. Karslake addressed the court, on behalf of the assignees, at some length, and expressed the satisfaction the assignees felt at the manner in which the bankrupts had conducted themselves since their bankruptcy. Mr. Watkyn Williams, on behalf of the London and Joint-stock Bank, the Bank of Lon don, and other opposing creditors, also made a few observations upon the case, denouncing the bankrupts as fraudulent traders, and calling on the commissioner to refuse their certificates entirely, and thereby prevent them from again entering into commercial pursuits. Mr. Link later, on behalf of Messrs. Leyland and Bullen, the Liverpool bankers, followed. He continued his address yesterday, and was speaking at a late hour in the afternoon. `6, - meeting held in ioridod yesterday of' the creditors of Messrs. L. Rodocanachi and Co., Greek merchants, who recently suspended, it was explained that the direct liabilities in connection with their houses in London, Liverpool, Marseilles, Constantinople, Alexandria, and Cairo amount to £101,750, and that the assets to be depended upon amount to upwards of £133,000. It was resolved that the firm shall continue to liquidate the estate. Meanwhile they will communicate with their partners abroad, so as to be enabled to fix specific periods for the payment of the liabilities in full. A further meeting will be held early in March. It will be observed that Mrs. Ityves, who lays claim to the succession of the late Duke of Cumberland, has succeeded in making out her case before the Judge Ordinary of the Court of Probate and Divorce, and has been declared legitimate. WILL THE AMERICAN .UNION YET HOLD TOGETHER? BY the Kangaroo, which arrived at Queenstown yesterday afternoon, we have advices from New York down to the 12th instant, but they have been partially anticipated. • Notwithstanding the :daily increase of strength which the secession movement among the Southern States was receiving, and in spite of the inhabitants of some of these StateS having had recourse to open hostility and to defiance of the . Central Oovernment, the chances of union being preserved, or rather restored; were not, according to the views of the New York Herald of 'Jan. Bth, by any means desperate. That journal' declared that it regarded the indications in behalf of conciliation and compromise involved in , cer tain political movements,' directly. bearing upon the policy of the incoming administration, as justifying the opinion thatthe Union would yet bo, saved. It based its hopes of the realisation of this desirable consummation chiefly on the choice made by the President elect of his advisers; and stated that. "extraordinary and even incredible as it may appear to many of our intelligent readers," it was to be inferred from the two well authenticated appointments of Mr. SEWARD and ,of,General CAMERON, that the door was open to a treaty of peace. It was thought that although the republican party in Congress, and its leaders and public journals in the States, with one exception have manifested no disposition to yield an inch of ground on the slavery issue, even to preserve the Union, that that party only was waiting for a sign from Springfield, while Mr. LINCOLN had been taking the soundings of his -friends, and as this gentleman had, after carefully considering his ground, appointed Mr. SEWARD his Secretary of State, that appointment, under the circum stances controlling it, taken in connection with the appointment of Mr. CAMERON, was 'equivalent almost to the proclamation of a compromise from the President elect and the republican party to the American people. Mr. SEWARD was to be the " Sir ROBERT PEEL" of this compromises He not only " understands the cards of the politician, but the necessities of the statesman, as is proved from his late Astor House speech, which, while no doubt carefully studied, though apparently impromptu, shows him to be clearly and broadly in favour of a compro mise with the South." As to Cietieral CAMERON, he was described as universally known as a Repub lican Conservative, entirely 'untrammelled by party principles or platforms, when' great expe diences of government policy are at stake ; and it was observed that no Cabinet selections could be made within the lines of the Republican camp better calculated to assure the South of the Con servative leanings of Mr. LINCOLN than his selection of the latter gentleman. Hence, there fore, under the guidance of a Cabinet so inspired and adieised, the conciliation of the South was to be confidently calculated on through the action of the Republican party in Congress, in advance, of Mr. LINCOLN'S arrangement. A long string of reasons were given by the Herald why the. Republican party in congress should have no hesitation in agreeing to such a compromise, more especiallyas it was fully expected that, in the absence of the adoption of the policy of conciliation recommended, .the revolutionary action of South Carolina would, before the 4th of March, be followed by the whole of the remaining States of the South. . , , All these sanguine visions have, however, been rudely dispelled by the accounts received by the present arrival. We now learn that coercion, and not compromise, is to be the policy of the new President j and that the Legislature at Washington has all but unanimously adopted resolutions agreeing to vote whatever aid in men arid money may be required by the executive to uphold the authority of the Federal Government, while on the other hand the project of a Southern confederacy continues to meet with increasing favour in Texas and other States. At a recent meeting of the Virginia Legis latureg the following resolution was agreed to by a majority of 112 to s: Resolved, by the General Assetbly of Virginia, that the union being formed by the assent of the States respectively, and being consistent only with freedonr And the republican institutions guaranteed to each, can not and ought not to be maintained by force; that the government of the Union has no power to declare or make war against any of , the States Which have been its constituent members; that when any one or more of the States has determined, or shall determine, under existing circumstances, to withdraw from the 'Union, we are Unalterably opposed to any attempt on the part of the federal government' to coerce the same into reunion or submission, and that we will resist the same by all the means in our power. That resolution formed the subject of another article in the iierald, which concluded as fol lows :—" What Virginia ought to do, and what all the slave States ought to, do, is to call a con vention of the united South, which will agree upon a reasonable ultimatum to be' presented to the North for acceptance. If it. should be accepted, as we know it would be, the quar rel' s - ended without a blow - if it - ahould not , the ,South will then be in a better position to _enforce, her rights by the last - resort the arbitrament of the sword—if the North will not consent to a peaceable separation. In the one ease, having exhausted all other means of obtain ing redress, she would be completely united in war, and thus become unconquerable. In the other 'event, she would enter upon the struggle with divided. counsels, irresolution, and even the disaffection and defection of her own sons. United, the Southern States stand—divided, they fall," There was certaitily some reason in such a pro position, but the advice Was, tinfOittlilaiely, .not addressed to reasonable people. The .chanced of a division among the seceding States predominate . , more than ever over those in favour of United action, and if it should so turn out; the triumph Of the North will be decisive and complete, and the institution of slavery in America is also from that moment doomed, no . matter at what cost. "EASTWARD Ho," AND "HOME AGAIN." —The names given to two companion pictures, by Henry O'Neil, R.A., and which are now exhibiting at Griffiths' Rooms, Church-street, by Messrs. Lleyd and Co. The subject of 'the departure Eastward and the Return, afford good seope for the display of genius, and ',Mr. O'Neil has put on canvass matter that will remain with his , name, when more pretentious persons shall have been forgotten. .He is not only a painter, but an anatomist, for, every,line in tbe'figurEs may stand the dissecting knife of all criticism. We have never seen so many figures grouped into a like space, and all so natural too. The colouring is not over strained, and one's sympathy is instantly attracted to the faces, which betokens love, grief, and all the other passions and feelings incident to the departUre and separation of friends and relatives. The return is equally good, and we could gaze on these noble con ceptions and their brilliant execution, for hours, and still find some new beauty in every detail. The story told by these noble paintings is full of interest and the romance of real life. The figures are graceful and' ndtural, and the emotions of the hurrian mind can almost be detected in the faces. To say more would be anticipating a pleasure that all who look on these pic tures must feel. We would advise all art admirers to look at these pictures. iE D AND WEATIIRR REPORT.—YEsrxin.t.

INTERESTING LECTURE jBY MR. GARDINER, YESTERDAY. The subject of Turkish Baths is one that ha's long engaged a considerable share of public attention, both in this country and on the continent. Within the last month a very erudite lecture, descriptive of Oriental baths, was delivered by Mr: itaiightoli, of tlublin, to a large audience in tiVetpool, tlidti IVhieh fbiv tb*ns in . the Milted ltingdoni are more in need Of these ilsertil and necessary auxiliaries to health, happiness, and long life: The Matter having been mooted, a project was-soon set on foot, and in a short time we hope to have the pleasure of recording the openingg of a new Turkish bath in our great commercial einpotinni— a boon that will be appreciated by all glasses of the temnilinify; A com pany has, we understand, been formed and when a sufficient sum is. realised, -we may expect to see the baths in efficient operation. In connection with this subject, Mr. Gardiner (late of the London Infirmary, and author of '! Tracts for the Times," &c.) gave an instructive and interesting lecture; detailing his own, personal experience of a - Turkish bath, in the Cotton Saleroom, Exchange Buildings, yesterday, before a large and attentive audience, chiefly'composed of the merchants,: capitalists, and other influential gen tlemen of the town. With the inianirnous approbation or the meeting, Wm. TITIIERINGTON, Esq., T. C., (of. Chester), was voted to the chair. In opening the proceedings the Chairman said that he had great pleasure in presiding over the meeting on that occasion, as ho felt the import ance, the paramount importance of the subject which - Mr. Gardiner intended to bring before them in his lec ture. It was one that was occupying no inconsiderable share of attention in many of the leading towns of the kingdom, and he trusted from what they would hear that day they would not be backward in giving their support and sympathy to Mr. Gardiner and the object which. he had in view, and which he would lay before theni t in his lectnre.. He hoped they would see the necessity of having the people of Liverpool provided with so useful and long needed a desideratum as a public bath, so as to meet the requirements of a great commercial town' like Liverpool. (Hear and applause.) Mr. GAItDINER, then proceeded with his leettire. He said that in looking round the room he found that he should, take exception to the general rule df addressing the audience as "Ladies and gentlemen," for he per eeived there were no ladies present, and he should therefore not say " Ladies and gentlemen." There was a time in his life when be had heard of great ship owners, and cotton lords and merchant princes, and he had often wondered what sort of men they were ;, but, on 'the present - occasion he had the pleasure and the honour of standing in the presence of such men, and the privilege of addressing the gentlemen of Liverpedl, and those. who "go down to the sea in , ships, and do business in great waters." It was his intention as they were all aware, to say something to them about the subject of Oriental and Turkish baths; but before doing so he felt it necessary, as a stranger amongst them, to say a few words about his antecedents.' In his advertisement he had stated that he was connected with the London Institution, of which he had the manage ment for a considerable period, ,and had, gained the approval of a large number of noblemen, gentlemen, physicians, surgeons, and others ' in the metropolis and Dublin. He had also a private practice of his own, and had been very successful in effecting cures, some of which could be found in this neighbour hood. But, independent of these facts, he was sur rounded by friends who knew him well and intimately. He then detailed a few particulars relating to his per sonal history. He read some quotations from the annual report of the medical inspector, from which it appeared that during the time Mr. Gardiner occupied the position of secretary to the London Institution, he bad gained the ` confidence and • esteem of all parties connected therewith, from the very efficient and ener getic manner In which he discharged his various and onerous duties. He also read extracts from the letters of Dr. Barter, of .Dublin, and other eminent gentlemen in the medical world, speaking in the highest terms of the talents, zeal, and abilities of Mr. Gardiner. .It seemed that some time ago the lecturer had written to Dr. Barter, informing him of his views and thoughts about Turkish baths, and the feasibility:of establishing one in Liverpool. He told him that he hnd a circle of friends in Liverpool who would assist him in getting up an institution of this kind worthy of such a great town. , Dr. Barter, in reply, highly approved of the pro posed scheme, and gave it as his opinion that it would confer incalculable benefits on the people of the town and neighbourhood. He unhesitatingly approved of the lecturer's plans, and highly eulogised the method laid down by him to carry these. plans to a successful com pletion. Yesterday' he was favoured with a communi cation from Cambridge, which took him completely by surprise. It was dated from Willow-house, Cambridge, and the writer, E. T. King, -Esq., (a master of arts in Abe University,) said that 'having seen• Mr. Gardiner's advertisernent in a Liverpool daily paper (the Daily Trines) he thought that there was' a good opening Foy *Lath a bath in Cambridge, with a population of 30,000, and totally unprovided With such accommodation. He invited the lecturer to visit the town and give a,lectiire, • which he felt 'confident would stir up' the people to take the, necessary steps to provide the bath. The, lecturer then proceeded to say that his object on the 'present occasion was not so much to give them a lecture as to lay before the meeting a few brief outlines and details of the nature and character of the Turkish bath. And here he would remark that this subject had been so, fully treated already by Dr. Haughton, that it was nearly exhausted, and left the present lecturer scarcely anything new to. say. He spoke in the most kindly terms of Dr. llitughton, who, he said, deserved well of his country, because he had written a number of most useful and valuable books, 'and had exerted himself in the most praiseworthy manner for the education of the masses. He could most ,strongly recommend the works of this talented gentleman to their notice, as also those of Dr. Barter of Dublin. In reference to the subject of the baths, the lecturer had very little neir to say beyond what had been advanced by the authori ties already named, with the addition of what he knew from his own personal • experience. He then gave a 'quotation from an old work (Sanctorius), wherein the author spoke highly of the utility ,of baths. He also cited the opinion of Henry Ward' Beecher, who thought that more invalids could 'be eared by a good perspiration and a breath of pure air than by "doctors' stuff" or the Bible. (A. laugh.) He spoke about the air, and called it the life of the blood, and the stimulus of the power of man ; it had been appropriately •called by the ancients "the pabulton of life." Water was a very necessary element in its place, but not so neces sary or vital to man as the air he breathed. It might cleanse us from the impurities which attach to the body, but not so effectually as when the combined action of air is introduce.d This was the great advantage of the Turkish bath, which was a heated air bath, into Which water was only partially admitted. It consisted of ilte processes—first, the party about taking the bath would have to divest himself of all clothing, except a slight covering, and he would then have to go into what was known as the tepid room, into which air at a tempe rature of about 100 degrees was allowed to pass. - He should, in this room, sit down, walk about, or lie down, and after that he would have to go into an adjoining room. [The lecturer explained the subject and the different processes necessary to be gone through, by means of a neatly-designed and well-executed diagram.] It frequently happened that parties complained of certain strange sensations, experienced in the skin and about the head, when they had for some time remained in the first or tepid room; but this feeling gave way to one of delight when they entered the second room, the tem perature of which varied from 140 to 230 'degrees. There was a third apartment, called the heated room, which they next visited, and where they soon perspired freely. He advised a person at this stage to drink plenty of cold water, which would have the beneficial effect of opening the pores of the skin, and from these pores the water would ooze out as clear as when it had been taken into the mouth ; and not till this was effected could a person say he was properly cleansed. The other item' which was to be entered was called the lavatory, where' the operation of shampooing would have to be gone through. Shampooing was the most essential part of the bath, and by its instrumentality all the filth of the body was brought to the surface, and then shampooing not only removed this accumulated dirt, but it equalised or caused an equilibrium of the circulation of the blood over the whole body. He then alluded to the erroneous impression generally prevalent amongst cer tain classes in this country, that the body was thoroughly and effectually purified from all dirt by a mere process, of soap and water or washing. A more fOolish idea could not be entertained. Shampooing and the aid of a Turkish bath could alone effect a thorough cleansing. He himself had seen gentlemen, who having gone through the operation of a shampooing, .could scarcely be persuaded to, believe that the dirt and filth which had been brought to the surface of their skin by, the action of the shampooer, had come from their bodies ; but such was the fact. After the whole operation had been gone through, and the person was conducted into a warm room, he should recline for some time upon a couch ; and if he felt a desire for exertion, he might rest assured that the desired effect of the bath had been accomplished. After leaving the bath, they need' not entertain any fear of catching cold,' and he specially warned persons against "cloaking " themselves up, after being in a bath, to guard against the possibility of taking a cold. He then described the exhilirating and beneficial effects generally produced on a person after taking a bath, giving an instance of it in his own person. Anomalous as the statement might appear about the non -necessity of a person muffling himself up after having partaken of the bath, he assured them it was a fact. The sensations expe rience& by the Turkish !bath-receiver could not be pro perly described—they were of the most delightful,and soothing kind. He remarked that by taking a bath *nee or twice a week no degree of cold would affect the re cipient,. As regards the objection that had been so fre quently raised against the constant use of the bath, that it had a debilitating or weakening tendency, heobserved 'that persons who held- such -an opinion laboared,under •an egregious error; for on the contrary, by the constant use of the bath, we got rid of a large quantity of efete, poisonous, and sudorific matter, which clung to the sur face of the body, and without which the human frame must necessarily be in' a more healthy and strengthened condition. He then instanced sOme•remarkable Cures that had been effected by the agency of the bath ; and anent the question of weakness he related the case of a man who had been suffering, (tom chronic rheumatism, r scarcely : able. to walk, or .lift his hand, .9r, turn abut, and who being carried to the baths, and making frequent u.e of them, soon recovered his pristine vigour, and was now a hale, healthy man.. (Applause.) There was also tb's peculiarity about Turkish baths, that if a person 1.0 into them quite wearied and jaded, and in a melancholic Mood, he comes out a refreshed and altered man. It drove,sad grief aWay, it brightened the .dull and deep laden eye, it lightened , the heart, And drove the blood with n. buoyant tiirrenty through , the, veins. This was all diVing to the Oho great indisputable fad that it was impossible Co resist the exhilarating effects of oxygen. The influence Manifested on a person !who - had constant recourse to the bath he compared to the effect produced iOn a rdnillY of 4rat i cd bread, and who, according to the jocose e t lit4 O.t• Pcndyygrpert after found, floating a b ou t th e ceiling. I;....iigta9r ! ), de talented lecturer proceeded to show the affinity beti..Mq the sensations of the mind and the physical part of min, and how any pain i or pleasu r e a ff or d e d to t h e l atter ha d cOri:e.i.kildtag,• effect on the other and nobler organ. From this itretit '6ll ,t 6 .illtistratp his position, that if the use of the bath caused n bedellt fe 4. ,1 / 2 body, It must necessarily 'produce a • similarzestilt oil the tkziid, ifs pointed out the many advantages that would be entyed by'a constant ablution'of the body iii the Turkish aths —perfect and thorough , cleanliness of the skin being ..secured. As an historical illustration of the great value of this necessary' requirement, he cited a passageirom a quaint voluine, entitled "The Pillars of Hercules," wherein it was 'stated that. amongst , the ancient Romans, when their population had reached its very culminating point, and when; as a necessary sequence, sickness:and disease must be more prevalent, they had plenty of baths, bat no hospitals—a fact that spoke for itself, and showed hot high was'the veneration in which they held the baths. ,He remarked that in the human . skin there were 700,000,000 , pores or outlets for sudorific matter or perspiration, which would be equivalent to thirty miles of sewerage. Of the human frame, and how necessary, therefore, 'was it for man to attend td the. bleeping of his own body. After dilating at considernBlb length on the use of the real Turkish bath, which itiougli ltd 1i p, very simple affair, was a very . marvellous cur a ti ve aliedge„tind id a ordinary health regenerator of both mind and illustrating the • happy ~cffects it produced. Gardiner concluded an eloquent and erudite lecture by stating that though he did not wish to under-rate the services of medicine, still he .believed 'that the bath .was a more speedy, more certain, and far more agreeable than any other sort of treatment that could be adopted to cure'the countless " ills that flesh is heir to." Above all, the bath was the preserver of health, it heightened every charm, the complexion especially became clear, the eyes brightened, and the whole'person perfectly fragrant. Old Homer did not speak tod. rhapsodically Of the. heroic Achilles when he said that, after tiiklng a bath, the "Invulnerable" appeared to be of a more towering. and exalted mien, and far nearer to the immolitit gods, (Loud applause.) • • The etiAIIII4AN, in proposing a vote •of thanks id Mr. Gardiner for his able lecture, announced that Dr. Haughton and Mf. Clatditiet had collie to an. Under standing as regards the intandgent. of the . new Turkish bath which was about being estabill.4lled iii this, town, and both: these gentlemen were to - hale .d in its management. (Hear, hear.) He then called the thy gentlemen present to Subscribe and beCome sharelididefi in the proposed undertaking, pointing out at the sanid time its great advantage and - usefulness. The ineeting . conCluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. THE WINDSOR CASTLE MENAGERIE. Although artistic performances have many attrcctions, and many of that sort are at present in Liverpool, yet nature cannot fail to possess superior claims ; and thei e fore it is that the Royal Exhibition in Lime-street draws such crowds daily to witness the extensive and interest ing collection of the finest animals of the forest ever before witnessed in one collection. We have already entered into detail on this exhibition, but we must again refer to the Zalu Kaffirs, or, as they afe called, the wild men of Africa. About the genuiness of these extraordinary people no rational !person can hate any doubt; and we refer to them in order to show that theit identity cannot be disputed. We were present yesterday when a gentleman of the highest respectability—Mf, Hugh Gillespie, of Leadenhall-street, London, who spent several years in Africa, and who is an eminent linguist—had a long conversation with them in their native language. He declares they are the real stamp, and gave an interesting history of their country and kindred. We merely mention this incidentally, to dispel any doubt that might arise in reference to this strange yet interesting people. The other attractions continue unabated ; and, no doubt, whilst the exhibition remains; the place will be duly and deservedly patronised. The Anglo-Saxon, which sailed yesterday for Port land, "only took about £2,000 in specie. • The ship NePtune, which arrived in the Albert Dock yesterday, from Alexandria, had a large cargo of cotton and grain. THE HIGHLAND COMPANY OF VOLUNTEERS.—This fine company of volunteers will hold a public meeting to-night, in the large room of the North Shore Mills, off Vauxhall-road, for recruiting purposes. Mr. Clarke Aspinall, the member for the Ward, is announced to take the chair. We anticipate a large attendance. LIVERPOOL PARLIAMENTARY DEBITING SOCIETY.--.-- The first meeting, for discussion, of the above society, was held last night in the Concert-ball, Lord Nelson street, and was very well attended by a large number of clerks, shop assistants, and other respectable young men. The meeting was presided over by Mr.. Russell, as "the speaker." A new reform bill was introduced, and gave rise to an animated and well-conducted discussion amongst the " honourable members," who delivered their views in a very straightforward and sensible man ner, free from that rhapsody and rhetoric in which yowlg men are sometimes inclined to indulge. „Messrs. otmplon, rate, ana others tam, t y,,a, in tha ateeuaalea, and were warmly applauded by the audience. The "house" rose at half-past eight o'clock, and adjourned till next Thursday night. LIST OF PASSENGERS PER S.S. NORTH AMERICAN.--• From Portland: Mrs. Kidner, Mr. Hale and wife - , Messrs.

LECTURE BY MR. HAMILTON, SURGEON. —On Tues day evening last, in the Brunswick-hall, Mill-street, Toxteth-park, this talented gentleman delivered a very interesting, instructive, and practical lecture on the physiological influence of alcohol, to a very numerous, respectable, and attentive audience, who sat for two hours as if spell-bound to the sPOf, evidently drinking in fact by fact as they fluently and eloquently fell from the speaker's lips. The lecturer concluded his able address with a few telling and appropriate anecdotes, illustrative of the evil effects of alcoholic liquors, and. sat down amidst the most rapturous applause. A col lection was made, the object being to distribute bread amongst the needy. A vote of thanks having been. accorded to the lecturer, the audience retired well pleased, much instructed, and to some extent convinced of the truth of the doctor's arguinents,"evidentlpproved by the fact of so many signing the temperance pledge. GRAND JUVENILE BALL.—Last night, the pupils of the flourishing Ladies' Seminary, 10, Anson -street, Pembroke-place, conducted by Mrs. Boddan, held their annual ball at the Oddfellows'-hall, in St. Anne-street. From the number of invitations issued (some 400 or 600), the ball partook almost of the character of a public festivity, and it went off in every respect with the most brilliant éclat. The company began to set down as early as seven o'clock in the evening, when the young ladies, with their partners, first took the floor, and were soon lost in the mysteries of the polka, schot tische, varsoviana, galop, waltz, &c: It was a pleasing sight, and the young ladies certainly showed, by the grace and elegance of their deportment, the care exercised in this department of culture. The older visi tors soon caught the contagion, and to the music of Mr. Cotter's excellent string band the dancing waslept up with great vivacity and spirit till a late hour this morn ing. The refreshments supplied were of the best quality, and nothing had been omitted in the arrangements which could add to the comfort or pleasure of the highly respectable company assembled. STANLEY WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIATION.--A lecture h was delivered in St. Anne's School-room, Old Swan, on Tuesday last, by. Richard Houghton, Esq., M.A., on "Astronomy," illustrated by dissolving views. The room was crowded to excess and many people had to leave the door without gaining admittance. These meetings are specially connected with and supported by the above institution, but the public are admitted free of charge, and appear much to appreciate the oppor tunities afforded them. Mr. Houghton's lecture was received with the greatest approbation, and the illustra tions were most effective and beautiful. The Rev. T. Gardner presided. At the recent annual meeting of this association the report for the past twelve months sub mitted by Mr. Charles Harding,• the honorary secretary, was received with much satisfaction, as showing an increase of both honorary and working members in the books compared with the number at the close of 1859. The officers are re-elected for this year, and all branches of the institution are actively at work. TuE HEALTH Commirrsz.--The usual weekly meet ing of the Health Committee was held yesterday in the Council-chamber, Town-hall, Mr. Sheil in the chair. The other members present were Messrs. Crellin, Nickson, Steel, Haydock, and Job.—The following reports were read :—The Medical Officer of Health reports that in the week ending on Saturday, January 19th, the deaths registered in Liverpool were 306, being 7 more than in the previous week, and 54 more than the averages cor rected for increase of population, of the same week of the preceding ten years. In the parish 197 deaths were registered,, and in the out-townships 109. The mortality due to the late inclement weather has probably now reached its maximum, and the return s f or t h e present we e k may b e expected to show a decrease. The deaths for the last six weeks have been successively 166, 206, 245, 293, 299, And 306. Diseases of the lungs caused 154 deaths, being one more than in the previous week, and 59 more than the corrected average. From zymotic diseases the mortality was larger than usual, owing chiefly to the unusual number of deaths from hooping cough, which was fatal to 17 children, the average of the previous four weeks being 6. From typhus the deaths were, 7 ; measles, 6 ; scarlatina, 5 ; diarrhoea, 5 ; croup, 4. Three children and one adult died from diphtheria,—a greater number than in any week of the preceding six months. The total deaths from zymotic diseases were 51,—the corrected average being 69. Of the total deaths there were, below five years, 132 ; five to twenty, 13 ; twenty to sixty, 112 ; above sixty, 49 ; this last being 20 more than the average number of deaths at the same age in the corresponding week of former years. The mean temperature of the week was 35 degrees, the average being 40 8-10 degrees. Rain fell -on Sunday and Saturday the total amount being 8-100ths of an inch. The Borough Engineer, Building . Surveyor, and Inspector of Nuisances reported various particulars of the operations in their several departments during the week, from which it appeared that 149 nuisances complained of by inhabitants had been inspected, and means taken to remedy them. 1,533 houses in the unhealthiest districts, containing 4,739 apartments, and 1,009 cellars,.had been put u n d er examination with the view of improving their sanitary condition. There was no public business before the committee, which soon after rose. r Er- W R
