The latest dates are Cilon, Sept. 9 ; Havamnah, 10 ; Demerara and Trinidad, 9; Carthagena and Granada, 10; Jim - Ilea and Barbadoes, 11; Jaumel Nevis and Mont. serrat, 12; Antigua and St. Kitts, 13; Port Rico, 14 ; and St. Thomas, 15. The Parana reports the loss of the steam ship Tyne, off S'. Vincent, bound from Demerara to St. Thomas. The captain and crew abandoned her rather prema.turely, and she was boarded by some Indians, who took out of her all they deomed valuable. _ _ . . Har Majesty's ship Brilliant was at Granadt. She was under orders to sail Northward, having loit many hands by yellow fever. The Brunswick was at Colon, and the Tartar at Grey Town. Freights for Liverpool.. ]Os to 15s, and 5 per cent for sugar ; Channel, 30s, and 5 per cent , last rate. There were no foreign vessels of war at Lisbon when the Teutonia left on the 26th. Her Majesty's steamship Conqueror, 12 days from Plymouth, entered the Tagus on the 22nd, but went on for the Mediterranean without communicating with the port, upon being informed by the Belem Health office that bills of Health were issued with a clause declaring it suspected of yellow fever. Our Lisbon correspondent states that no official notice had been given to the Consular authorities respecting yellow fever, or the clause inserted in the Custom-house bills of health. The cases actually classed as yellow fever were ♦ery few, and these only in the last stage of typhus, which had prevailed in the neighbourhood of the Lisbon Custom house, generated, as usual at this season of the year, by the bad e it uvia from the sewers and the hide warehouses Altogether it was calculated that the cases of typhus an yellow fever did not exceed 20 to 30 a day, with about one-third fatal ; and it was expected that the rains wou!d soon purify the sewers, and that with the cod weather these fevers would entirely cease. WEST INDIA MAIL. FROM OUR OWN" CORRESPONDENT. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY, MEDICAL SOCIETY. THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVE ,POOL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1857. WALLASEY LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH, The usual monthly meeting of the members of this Board of Health was held last evening, at the Public offices, Church-street, Egremont. Mr. N. Caine, the President, in the chair. The other members present were Messrs. Hughes, Ball, B. W. Colborne, Hill, Fishwick, Parr, Wils3n, Hllmes, and Chambers. The minutes of the last meeting were read and con firmed. THE WJEKS AND HEALTH COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee, which did not contain any matter of public interest, were confirmed and passed without comment, on the motion of Mr. Pooley, seconded by Mr. Fishwick. THE FIRANCtiI COMMITTEE. The proceed 7 ngs of this committee, recommended the appointment of two collectors, one in -door, at a salary of £lOO per annum, and a second, or out-door collector, at the salary of ISO per annum. This arose from the great amount of business to be done On the motion of Mr. Colborne, seconded by Mr. Hill, who stated that no additional expen4es would be incurred to the ratepayers by such an arrangement, the proceedings were confirmed. TIIC XARLIAMENTARYCOMMITTKE., MEXICO Dates from Tampico are to 30th August. T'le interior still continues in au unsettled state, and though Comanfort still holds the reins of governmont in the city of Mexico. parties are being formed in many of the provinces to over throw his power. The priesthood, it is said, are at the bottom of mast. of them. Dates from Vera Cruz are to Sept 4. The Spanish fleet was daily exp - ,cted. The fortifications round the city have been completed. TRINi DAD. Dates from hence are to Sept. 9. The weather was fine. Health generally good Business dull. Freights were ruling low. CALIF ORNIA By this arrival, we are put into possession of dates from San Francisco to Aug. 20. The papers are extremely barren of news. The State elections engrossed the entire attentio❑ of the press, and are of no interest beyond the limit of the State. Crime was considerably on the increase. A great number of culprits had expia'ed the extreme penalty of the law for their offences, and many more had been sent to the penitentiary from various parts of the State Trade was:brisker, but little freight, however, had been shipped up the river since the departure of the last mail The Metropolitan Theatre, in Mon'gGmery-street, was destroyed by fire on the 15th ult.—the work of au incen diary. Loss, about 60,C00 dole. SOUTH PACIFIC. The death of Mr. Sullivan, her Majesty's Charge d'. Affairs at Lima, by the hands of an assassin, is confirmed. The unfortunate gentl3 , nan expired on the 11th ult., and was buried on the 15th amidst the regret of all classes of the community. No clue had been received of the perpe trators of the crime, although a reward of 10,000 dots. had been offered by Government, and 50,000 by the British residents. _ . ----- The dates from the South Picific are—V Aparliso, Aug. 15 ; Islay, 20; Iqiuque, 20 ; Arica, 20 ; Callao, 2d ; Pait2, 30. From Chili we L'arn that th? P:esidlnt had presented to the Senate a project of law conceding to Admiral the Earl of Dundonald (tor his service during the war of in dependence, as Lord Cochrane) the rank of Admiral in the Chilian navy, with corresponding pay. The general news is of little . interest. - Boras/IA —Congress had assembled. Fever had de creased. Silver mines were proving very remunerative. PERU. —The news from the seat of war is very unsatis factory. Nothing had either been done towards putting down the revolution, or subverting the Government. President Castilla, with his forces outside Arequipa, and General V.vanco, with his followers inside the walls, seem so busily engaged watching each otter, that they had no • time to fight. ,O.- We extract the following from the circular of Mr. Do Cordova, da'el Sept. 10: We have again to report a dull business for the fort night preceding publication, and there is little to call for special remark. There have been six arrivals of fish stuffs since our last issue, including the cargoes of the Sarah, via Antigua, and of the Express arrived yesterday. The first arrival, meetint , a bare market, realized comparatively high rates, but the other vessels following in quick succession, the price of dry fish experienced a decline. We may state that the supply of pickled fist is unequal to the demand. Herrings of late arrivals have not proven good. The supply of flour is still adequate for the dull season, but we must notice that there has been no arrival of this article sine our last. REVIEW OF MARKETS. Alewives : Sales 20s in cargo. Butter : Sales of Irish at 13d. All the last Frime lots of American butter have gone out of market, and the article is enquired for. Last sales of good Ilalifax at 130 in parcels. Beet: Last sales, half barrels, at 603: now held at 643. Brindy: Nothing new to report. Bread : The demand continues dull, and there have been no sales of either pilot or crackers since our last issue, Cornmeal : We hear of a sale of 240 barrels country meal, some time in market at 16s 6d.

C.,rn : Country is abundant, and sales may be quoted at 4s per bushel. Codfish : The first cargo, which arrived to a bare market, fetched 193 per 100 lbs in tierces, and 203 in boxes. Sales have since been made, ex subsequent arrivals, at 17s per 100 lbs for tierces, and 183 in boxes. The supply of the latter has been very small. • Cheese : American none. Last arrivals of English sold at 131 to 141 per lb ; at present not any at market. Flour : Re-sales have been made at 383 per be rrel, for parcels some little time at market. We hear of a sale of a small lot, ux last arrival, at 403. Freights dull. Herrings : Sales round shore, ex late arrivals, at 225. The deman 1 for pickled fish has bared the market, ante good article may be reported very scarce. Hams have sold at 9,1 per lb. Lancashire are dull of sale at is 31. Log wood : Has been sold at 40s per ton, free on board ; there is an upward tendency. In our last issue we quoted sales as low as 36t, which was an error—no sales having been made frt . e on board under the present quotation. Lumber : There has been some enquiry for W. P. for Outports. ha supply otherwise. Lard : /Last sales 9d per lb. Malt : Sales ot J. and R. Tennen,'s pale ale and brown stout, at 8s per doz quarts ; pints, 55; double str.,ng ale, Its 6d per doz. quarts. Jeffrey's strong ale, 12s in quarts, and 7s in pints.

Oic : A parcel at public sale sold at 3s lid. 31 3d asked for other parcels, Pork : Dull. Last sales of mess at 1221. Pimento: Crop jest commencing, and is likely to be a heavy one. Market active at 3d per lb. Rice: Another lot of 500 bags yellow or Coolie rice, of the cargo last reported from Barbadoes, has been sold at , 16s; and a parcel of 300 bags, of inferior quality, via Antigua, has been sold—price not allowed to transpire. Rum 4s 6 , 1 per gallon, proof 16. Salmon : None at market. Salt Sales have been made at 53 per sack.' The supply is abundantly large. Soap: Sales have been made of Steele'a crown at 19s for 60 lbs, and 18s for 56 lbs. Sugar has realised 26i to 323 per 100 lbs. Supply is not large, but ordinary qualities are quite sufficient for the demand. Fair is scarce, and the large difference in prices quoted is consequent on this fact. Tobacco : Cavendish still held at 13d—abundant and dull. _ . Tongues : None at market. Exchanges on London : Jlmaica and Colonial Banks -90 days, 1 per cent premium; 60 days, 1 per cent pre mium ; 30 days, 2 per cent premium. Merchants' Bills -90 days, par.

POOLEY, in moving the adoption of the proceadiags, said : Air. Rawlinson had surveyed the place, and as h.,r as ho could see, his views were that there was an ample supply of water within the boundary. He expressed a hope that by the 30 h of November, they would be prepared with a report, and the draft of a bill they intended to apply to Parliament. Mr BALL put several queFtioro, and said that, perhaps, when the measure was in a tangible shape, he should have to oppose it. Mr. PooLav hiped that such would not be the case. The proceedings were confirmed. Mr. PuoLay then asked the Board for a cheque for £l5O, as part payment of the expenses of the Parlia mentary Committee, incurred during the 'wit session. Mr. CHAMBERS seconded the motion, which was carried. MEL. POOLLICY'S MOTION The next businesToftiae meeting was the consideration of the following motion, of which notice hal been given : —S' Th t the present general committee of the Board be dissolved, and reconstituted of such members as can consent to an hour of meeting agreeable to their mutual convenience, and admitting of due care being bestowed on the business c anmitted to their deliberation." A letter was read from Mr. Colborne, designating the motion as peurile and insulting, and stating that it could not be entertained at that meeting, according to the 11th clause of the bye-laws. Mr. POOLEY then gave hisreasons for the re•construction of the committee, and of the hour for holding their meetings. The chief reason assigned was, that one of the committee could not attend at the hour of seven o'clock in the evening, because he dined at six; and he (Mr Pooley) could not attend at two o'clock, because it interfered with his private business. He then said that the case was of that emergency that the regular notice should not be :equired in the present instance. Mr. WILSON seconded the motion. Mr. Hueans thought that the minority of the committee must give way to the majority. He conceived that four o'clock in the afternoon was a very proper time. Mr. BALL did not three with the lasfspeaker. Mr. HILL approved of the motion, and suggested that the time of the committee's meeting shouli be so app inted as to snit the dinner hour of each member. Mr. POOLEY replied. Tne B ard divided, when the :motion was carried by seven to three. Mr POOLEY proposed that the foll)wing parsons form the Works and Health Committee : —Mee:sr.. Wilson, Hill, Hughes, Ball, Litijedale, Fishvick, Pooley, and the other gentlemen of the Finance and Bye Laws' Committee. After some furth-r conv.ersa+ion, Mr. Pooley's motion was adopted, and the above gentlemen were app Anted as the com.bittee. I There being no other business, the Board adjourned.

Mr. ROBINSIN, Chairman of the Bu 1 ling Committee, report4d that after a careful e'nsideratioa of tha matter. the committee had agreed to recommend the erection of a wo, klaeuse fit for the recep'ion of 1,001 inmates, instead of of e for 890, as had been originally contemplated. 'They had come to this conclusion after c)nsu!ting with the architect, becausi a w ,rkhous.; is an edifice which requires to be nnple'e iii i s arrangements for elassifi cati n, wha'ever number of itatnates it mly contiie, and any fal are extension of the buil(!ing would consequently in , olve a eaniparativEli much Urger ou lay than i the b u ilding had been male suit,ible at first.

Mr. CLEAVER, the clerk, gave formal notice of the death of Mr. Thomas R 03141, registrar for the distri t, who del on Wednesday morning. Mr. Cleaver, in nswer to qu3stions, said the • molum , nts of the office, which were derived from fres, amounted V) about £250 per annum ; that the election of his successor moat be within fourteen days of his death ; that there was nothing. to prevent the election from being made at once. Mr. But.coa moved that the election of registrar, in room of the lare Mr. Roskiil, tike place next Thursday. Mr. MERCiIt see9ncled the modal).

Mr. CLEkvea r.ad a communication from the general p o or-law Krard, r -fusing to sanction the a?paintment of a pay-clerk to the uni: n. Mr. 8., TrEN said it oppeared a most singular thin, that whenever a bird of Gairdiaus rcel umanded anything, which was in reality for the good of the union which the Board represented, the Commissioners refused to sanc tion it, Mr. ALPASS said, althou4ll the Board ht 4 not had experience of the benefits stcured by the app dritment of such an officer as nanab.ots of the Tox'eth Byard, yet, as members of the West airby U..ion, they hid had such experience, and fund its benefit.

Sr ICE ISLAND CONVICT Dap a.-1,..5t week one of th sub srdinate &Bars of the priso was dangerously assau'ted by some of the convicts, ft-cm the eff c s wtich he lies in a precarious state. This is unly the na'ural result of the rni placed leri y Which actuated the Executive in pildun ing .hose partie• who were f. nod g i!ty of the murder of the unfortunate warder Reddy.—Cork paper. The Rev. Hugh Hanna having announced his intention of lapin setting the authorities at defiance by holding forth in the open air on Sunday. the Belfast Presbytery met on Friday with the spacial view of taking the reverend disturb r's case into serious consideration. The Rev. Dr. Cooke was present at the sederunt, and after four hours' solemn deliberation with closed doors the public were ad mitted, and Dr. Cooke rose and proposed the annexed resolutions, which were seconded by De. Edgar, add passed neon con , after which the Presbytery adjourned, a com mittee having been formed, consisting of Des. Cooke, Morgan, Edgar, and Mr. INlseneuetteu, to confer at ten o'clock next day with Mr. Hanna on the subject of open air preaching : " 1. That ihe preaching of the gospel in the open air, as well as in our eharches, had been customary during the entire history of the Presbyterian Cnurch in Ireland. 2. That this custom we holi to be founded oa our Lord's commission and on Apostolic practice. 3 That we are resolved, by all legtimate me ins, to maintin for ourselves, and transmit to nosterity, this right, which we have hitherto uninterruptedly enj eye 1. "4. That, while we are resolved, we nsvertheless feel conscientiously bound, as ministers of the gospel of peace, to do all in our power, even in the exe vise of our rights and the performance•of our duties, so to live as e . Y.ng ne offence in anything, that the ministry be not'biam id.' (2 Cer vi. 3, &e.) " 5. That, under the existing circumstances of this town, we do affectionately entreat our brother, Mr. Ranee, as a matter of Christi an expediency (1 Cor vi 12) to desist from open-air preaching till, in the mercy of God, a reasonable time be afforded for excited passions to cool and subside, an event w:lich we hopefully anticipate, because, until within these few weeks, no °Tanked obstruction or annoyance was experience.' by any of our ministers during their Open-air services in any part of the town or country. 6. That we mostearnestly remonstrate with our brother as to the language he has occasionally employed in letters to his Excellency the L n.d-Lieutenant, and to the local magistracy. " 7. That a committee be appointed to confer with Mr. Hanna in reference to these resolutions; and that they be, and hereby are, authorised to take such measures as to them may seem desirable, for maintaining by appeal, either to the Executive or the Legislature, the constitu tional privileges of this Church. This committee to consist of the Moderator, Drs. Cooke, Morgan, Edgar, and Mr. Macnaughten." Undaunted, however, by Presbytery or public epTnion, the Rev. Hugh Hanna stin seems cietera - tined to show fight. In a brief note addressed to a friendly local journal he says : Trio meeting of the Belfast Presbytety has complicated the question of open-air preaching in Belfast. What I may specially do I canno' , ja:t now say. Tue re:4olutions of the Presbytery ate entitled to a respectful considera tion. I have not yet seen them; but I shall act accord ing to my own sense of duty, locking for Divine light to guide me." "Divine lien" to guide a man to create riot and ill• will—if not w tree—on the Sabbath-day! Mr, Hanna, however, on second thouOts, adopted the wiser course, and made no attempt to repeat his danprou3 experiment, leaving the field open to M”. Matico, the gmtleman who has alr-a - ly gained s)rne little nitoriety as one of the apostle 3 of street preexhing. There was not, it a2pears, the aliglrest disturbance on Sundry. DOCK COMMITTEE. The weekly meeting of this Committee was held at one o'clock yesterday. Mr. Charles Turner presided, and the other members present were—Messrs. Rankin, Robinson, Gladstone, Lockett, Mondell, Hubback, Rathbone, Bold, Halhead, Anderson, and Clint. The surveyor received authority to let the Stanley, Collingwood, and Salisbury Dock run dry at the morning tide of Saturday, the 31st inst., for sit or seven days, f r the purpose of completing the small basin ter the Bridgewater trustees It was directed that the usual notice 3 be immediately issued. A letter was read from Mr. Court, Secretary to the Underwriters' Association, ur&n_a; upon the Dock Com mittee the great alvant 'ge to be derived from having illuminated tidal guagas placed at the extremes of the docks to prevent casualties to vaisels approaching, more espe cially the southarn docks, from uncertainty as to the depth of water upon the sills. A letter was also read from Mr. Cook, on behalf of the Pilots' Ccmnittee, recommending illuminated tidal guages to be placed at least at the en trance of the Brunswick, King's, and Albert Docks, and enclosing a list of vessels which had grounded in approach ing the Liverpool Docks from the 25th Augu•t, 1836, to the 7 h September, 1837. ',The Cu URII Sx remarked that the depth of water upon the ill would not show the depth of water upon the banks outside. Mr. MOND r.e. slid the pilots would know the difference between the depth at the si 1 and the depth on the bank. At present they could not tell what depth of water was on the sill, far although they knew by the tide table what the depth at every hour ought to be, they could not tell what effect the wind might have upon the tide. Mr. HURD .tCK asked what objection there was to com plying with the request. Mr. LocKETT believed it would attach several liabilities to the dock estate. Mr. 1111oNnenn : I cannot understand that. You indicate the water outside by figures cut on the stone at present, which can scarcely be seen, but surely the same liability attaches to the figures if they be there at all. The CHAIRMAN: I do not think the solicitor objected to the depth of water on the sil's being indicated, bat to the depth on the banks outside. MoNnenu : But that you cannot show—it would be nonsense to make such a request. It eras finally agreed that the subject should be referred back to the Marine Committee. Some discussion arose upon a letter from Colonel Servants, informirg the B Ard that a battery was about to b~ erected on a site near the Liscard Magaz'nes. It appeared that in July, 1856, a communication was addressed by Colonel Servante to the Dock Committee, stating that the corpora tion to whom the site helot ged had given their consent to the election of the fort, and asking whether the committee had any objection that a boat-house belonging to them, which Vas immediately contiguous, should be enclosed in the wall of defence ? The committee replied that they had no objection to this being done. Mr. Bonn contended that the c:mmittee did not then give auy approval of the site of the fort, and that in fact their consent was not asked. He urged that it was in their power now to object to it, if they could show any reasonable grcu d. It was very probab e that a river wall would be built along that side of the river by some parties before long, and this he suggested would th:ow the fort into the back ground, se that it would either be rendered useleas, or have to be removed. Re, therefore, recommended that 'he Board should remonstrate against the erection of the fort there, until at least this new objet tion had been fully cersidered The CHAIRMAN thought, when the plan was submitted Iv( uld have been the proper time to urge any remon strance. Mr. GLADSTONE said government bad already built two forts, which were utterly uscle,s for the purposes intended. . There ought therefore, to be some little caution on the pact of the Dock Committee in giving their consent, and he recommended that the surveyor and Lieutenant Parkes should be consulted upon the subject. The govern ment had nothing whatever to boast of in their past history. They had shown themselves quite incompetent to deal with such ma'ters ; and the Dock Committee ought, therefore, to take some care. The CHAIRMAN said they could remonstrate, but they had na legal power. The land was the property of the Co , porn. ion. Mr. GLADSTONE : But the voice of the committee would be heard. Mr. BOLD : We have no legal power ; but I think a remonstrance would have some effect (Hear, hear.) After soma further conversation, it was agreed that the subject should be referred to the Works' Committee. A letter was read from Mr W. A. Bouliers, of Waterloo place, Pall Mall, London, suggesting a mode of obviating the inconvenience of the gradients in the bridges of the new landing-stage. The secretary was directed to reply that the subject was already in the hands of the dock surveyor. A report was read f om the Head Constable of the recent accident at the landing stage An application from fruit-sellers, to be allowed to continue in the occupation of Stalls in front of the Post-office, was directed to be handed over to the police authorities ; and an application for permission to sell fruit, ginger bread, &c , to passengers leaving the new landing-stage, was referred to the sub comm;ttee. Applications from Messrs. Jefferson and Brachhaw, employed respectively in the secretary's and treasurer's oflices, for Inc. ease of salary, were also referred for the consideration of a sub committee. This closed the general business. THE HE .A.LTH COMMIT rEE. The usual weekly meeting of th's committee was hell at the Tow❑ II 11, yesterday. Mr. Alderman Dover presided. The other committee men present were—Messrs. Shell, B ckwHa, Anthony, flaydock, and R. Gladstone. The CLlAntmArs; wished to know whether the Committee had any power over the swings that were used at the h diday time—power to ex mine them before they were used as he hld seen it recorded but last, week there was a death caused by one of them, and there had been another s6me short time since. T e anatir replied that they had n r such power. The CitAIRMAN thought that it would be advisable to have such powers in their next act. 'I he CI,M.AR replied taut they would undertake great respowdhillies if they had such powers. The AI: dical Officer of I.lea!th repotted that in the last week, ending on Saturday last, the registered deaths in the Borough were 250, being 13 more than the previous week, and 5 more than the correct d averages of the prec, eding years, including cholera. In the Parish there were 159 deaths registered; in the Town:h . ps 91. The , n3rease last week was chiefly owing to scarlatina, which proved futa! to 30 children, a greater number than any previous week since 1855. Drirracea continued to decrease, the deaths being 36 against 47, all exc T'ing 4 being children ; of the remaining 42, 15 %yr-re hooping cough, 13 ITAL.., 5 small-dox, tvo of them vaccinated; 2 measles, 2 cough, I syphilis ; diseases of the lungs, including , nsuinption, caused 47 loath . , eight mare than the previous week. Tue Bar ,ugh Engineer, Building Surveyor and Inspector of Nuisances reported various p trticulars of the operations in their several departments during the week, from which it appeared that 184 inspections were male of delapidated privies and ashpits; 1,134 cesspoAs had been discharged, 91 nuisances complained of by Inhabitants had been isepected and means taken to remey th -m, 987 houses in the unhealthies districts, coutain,n; 3,284 ap trtments, and 56) cellars had been put under ex tmiaation with the view of improving their sanitary condition. After transacting some routine business the Committee aljour ned. A lette• from Senegal says that the French authorities powerfully bided by Tanatit Amat, chief of the Mussulman religion and deputy mayor of St. Louis, have, atter long e9'ort3, succeeded the non-C:oristian black population throughout all the Fre,se, tertitory to declare to the local authorities the births and deaths which take place amongst them, so as to have theMregisiered in the French firm. TRIPLD MURORII. AND ROBBERY IN Fit NCE.—The town of La Ciotat, near Marseilles, has just b en tho scene of a dreadful crimo. A few eloys back, a foreman in the workyard of the Mats Ales to Toulon Railway went to his work at five in the naornitig as usual, leaving at h( me his wife, with a young child of eighteen months, and a niece aged ten. At noon, not receiving his dime-, which his nieco used to bring him every day, he left tiie yard, and went tr his house to ascertain the cause of the delay. On arriving there he found the place shut ap, and a pres titicrtent of evil sized on his mind. Barsting open the door, he hurried up stairs to his wife's room, and there a horrible spectacle presented i self to Li , eyes. His wife and child lay on the bed both dead with their throats cut, and the whole place saturated with blood. In as inner nom was the niece, tile lying murdered on the floor. A cupboard had been broken open, and 1800'. taken away. The alarm being given, the police and gendarmerie were immediately on the spot, and every search made to discover the perpetrators of this awful crime. The t'sree bodies R ea interred the next day in the preselee of nearly the whole population, headel by the authorities. Shortly after the funeral, a workman, of Piedrrontese origin, was wrested 1:011 s rong atispigion. — Galignanz i s Messenger. The opening meeting for the session of this society, took place in the Medical Institution, Elope-street, at eight o'clock last night. The inaugural address was delivered by the vice-president, Dr. Vose, and a large number cf the members of the profession assembled to hear it. Dr. VOSZ commenced his address by referring to the prejudice which exists in all countries—but perhaps especially in Englmd—to members of the medical profession devoting themselves to other studies or pursuits outside that of medicine. They could only do so with injury to their immediate professional reputation an i material interests, and yet, he observed, this injurious prejudice extended to no other avocation. The soldier was not thought less capable of fighting the battles of his country because he had shown himself a good diplomatist. They did not undervalue the ghostly offices of the divine, because distinguished in literature, nor did the lawyer suffer in h's profession from devotion to the study of philosophy. The members of the medical profession alone were restricted to the sphere of their own calling, and yet, without hope of political distinction or courtly favour, they • were and had been at all times, in all countries, and under all circumstances, the opponents of popular preju• dices and errors, and the advocates of knowledge and eeLghtenment. Dr Vose then proceeded to lay before the meeting an outline of the lives and labours of men who, belonging to t'es medical profession, had conferred upon the world and all posterity services in paths not direet'y connected pith that path of science. Among these, Dr. Vose principally al'uded to the services and the endowments of De. Carus, the foueder of Cains College, Oxford ; Gessner, called the German Pliny ; Scaliger, the elder ; Rabelais, Michael Servetus, S r Thomas Browne of Norwich, Claude Perrot. Johit . Lock, and Dr, Red !liffe. In the department of imaginative literature, Dr. Vo e alluded to Garth, Akea. side, Goldsmith, and Armstror g In other walks of literature, science, or art, Dr. Arbuthnot, Si,. Hans Sloane, Sir John Pringle, Meade, the patron of art and collec t3r of antiquities ; Robert Simpson, the translator of Euclid; Tobias &1011, tt, the novelist and historian ; Linnaeus, the Swedish naturalist; Albert de Haller, W lliam and John Hunter, Zimmerman, Withe ing, and Dr. Black. In the present century wre enumerated Dr. Darwin, Dr Currie, edeor of Berns' works, Dr. Thomas Brown, C. A. Parry, John Bell, D. M. Moir, the " Delta" of Blackwood, Dr. Abercromby, Sir H. Halford, Dr. Paris, Dr. Wells, Woollaston, Bostock, Sir James E Smith, Bluemenbach, Sir Charles Bell. Thomas Young; and Birkbeck. Of living non es, Dr. Voce mentitned Sir H. Holland, Dr. Bright, Dr Greuvilte, Thomas Wild, of Dublin Dr. Paget, Joseph Bailee Sir Jehn Forbes, t'ro fessor Train, Dr. Daubeny, cf Oxford, Professor Owen, Dr. Raget, and several others. Such names as these the lecturer declared were satisfactory evidence of the efforts made by medical men for the advancement of knowledge, and might reconci'e them to the fact, that theirs was the only profession , hrough which a man could not reach political distinction, a patrician rank, and might render them indifferent to the satire of Moblere, the ridicule of Le Sage in " Gil Blas," and the lampoons of a prurient priest in " Tristram Shandy." The conclusion of the address was received with loud applause On the motion of Dr. Dickenson, seconded by Dr. Eilis Jones, a vote of thanks was passed to the vice chairman. Tile members then partook of tea and toff: e. STATE OF BELFAST. A BOON FOR IRELAND. The Globe is privilege 3, and surely not without the winking cf authority, to ann,nince to Ireland a special compliment which is 121 petto for her. A jealous feeling— we need scarcely inform our rea le s —has long manifested itself amonglrish military men at the insidieus preference shown to tae other parts of the United Kingdom in the distinctions bestowed upon particular brauches of the military service. In every depat tment, indeed. the exclu sive principle is more or le7.s co sp - caous ; bat. it has been found chiefly galling to cur national pride in the cold end disdainful silence with which the propoiftion to assigu to Irelaad her fair b 11370 of the honour of gaarding the Sovereign in the Household Brig vie has bean uniformly put aside. MAI Guards for , ooda! What a droll idea. Tipperary in Hyde Park would be such a violation of the proprieties, that those sublime geniuses who rule affairs cannot even sneer after their wont. They only turn away in disgust at the mention of it. When the Guards were cut up, indeed, in the Crimea, a condecension was male towards the Irish police, who would have been received into the II msehold Brigade. But they could not appreeia e the dignity intended for thm, of being simply absorbed into these stately battalions. Honour was thrust upon them, and they refused to accept it on the condition of merging their national name in tho Royal Scotch - Fusiliers, and marching after a cry of bagpipes. That refusal caused a much greater degree of mortitiation then the public were ' at the time led to suppose ; and a lively resentment re mained treasured up in lofty minds. But we are now given to understand that a to is penitenfice is open to those " fine strapping fellows," and since, they say they only want an Irish naional corps to peeve their heroism, why not give them another chance by alkrwieg them to form from their own ranks, a new 3fh Rua' Irish Dragoons?" Can the War-cffice people, who evidently dictated this para graph be serious? The 5 h D.agoans were a kind of Sepoy corp., which mutinied at a period of great difficulty, and fraternised with rebels against the British Crown. What a happy thought to speak at all of reviving such a corps at this junc'ure ; and how graceful the compliment to our green is'e to declare that the heroes shall be her own She asks permission to rase a battalion of Life Gua ds for the Queen, and their answer is, that they may resuscitate the old treason-s'ained and degraded " Green Horse 1" What next ? O'Connell's Yellow Dragoons, mayhap, of Colonel Kirk's Lambs ! This is not the way to recruit the exs,nsted strength of England in our country. If her Msjosty wants the police—and .‘ file strapping fellows," without doubt, they are—she must be kind enough to offer them a service which, if it falls short of their present position in pay and other a lvantages, miy present some coin , ensating attracti ns in the honour which the true soldier pe7zes above ease and emolument—D:oin THE FALKIRK BANK FRAUD. The trial of the prisoners charged will the Falkirk bank fraud, has ended after four days hearing The jury, after an absence of nearly two hours, by a majority of nine to six, delivered the following verdict: —" The jury. by a majority, find the pastel, William Reid guilty of the first second, third, fifth (to the ex ent of £720), and sixth charges as libelled ; and find the panel Thomas Gentles guilty of tt'l the charges libellel ('he fifth, only to the extent of £750.) The jury desire to state to the Court their unanimous opinion that neither of the panels received one farthing of the money ; and also, itt consideration of the t' hole circumstances cf the case, and the very high estimation in which the panels were held by their fellow townsmen, the jury in the strongest manner possible recommend them to the leniency of the Court." Lord Hand‘ side then passed sentence en the prisoners. He said: The jury have by their verdict, which is a discriminating one with reference to the charges and the evidence, found you gui ty of the crime of breach of trust and embezzlement. My charge to the jury would, I dare say, convey to their minds the belief that, had I been one of their number, I should have concurred with the majority. I desire to say that I thick their verdict is an important one for the law of the country, and I ant sure it must prove a salutary one wherever it is known. It will convey to all persons in situations of trust that, though they do not parti cipate in the act of embezzlement so far as to derive pecu niary advantage from it, still by neglecting and disregarding their trust, and &ding or assisting or screening another in the commission cf that act, the law holds them guilty of the crime, that conviction will follow upon evidence, and that punishment ntu-t then be executed. It is a very great satisfaction to me that the jury have coupled their verdict with a recommendation to the leniency of the Court, and that they have stated the reasons for which they give that recommendation, in which they unanimously agree, and which ate so strong in themselves. But for that recom mendation I fear that the sentence which my duty would have cal ed on me to pronounce would have been one of a very degraeitg character indeed. But giving all the just weight to the recommendation of the jury which the 'reasons assigned entitle me to do, and looking n the recomm endation . of a jury at all times as entitlei not o nly to the attention of the Court, but to a ce r t a i n d egree of deference on its part, and assuming as I d 3 that 15 men in a jury : box truly represent the feelings of the com munity to which they belong, and that their opinion is a reflex of the feelings of their fellow- countrymen, I feel that the recommendation given by the jury, to leniency in the punishment, is one which will meet with general approval. I think it of great importance to all parties, that whatever sentence is pronounced here, should be one which shall carry with it the sanction of judicious path° opinion. lam sati fled, therefore, that I pronounce the proper punishment, under all the circumstances of the - . i case, by limiting it to one of imprisoment.
