REPRESENTATION OF WESTMINSTER.

A meeting of the electors of the parishes of Si
(leotge and St. James was held last evening at the Hanover-
square Rooms, to afford Mr. Charles Cochrane an oppor-
tunity of declaring his political opinions as candidate for the
representation of Westminster. Sir Charles Alder presided,
and opened the proceedings by briefly stating that Mr.
Coehrane's opinions were based upon the most liberal prin-
ciples; and he was well known for integrity of purpose and
the utmost activity in doing good. The interests of
the city needed an efficient representative, and he could fully
recommend Mr. Cochrane as worthy of the confidence of the
electors.

Captain HOUOHTON, R.N., concurred in the Chairman's
sentiments with regard to Mr. Cochrane, whom he cordially
recommended to the electors of Weal inater as being a fit-
ting representative, and one who would do his duty towards
them. The Rev. Dr. STODDAUT ionOWed to the same pur-
pose, dwelling at some length in praise of the proposed
candidate.. . .

The Chairman then introduced Mr. Cochrane to the meet-
ing, who said that it ems utterly impriesihle to cipress to the
meetinghis gratification at aedressing them on that occasion.
He felt it necessary to state that the life he had lcd had tv,t be. n
that of a politician ; •nd he admitted that in that respect he
had small claim on their consideration. His life had been

that of a private iientre;an7elOik good power.
With regard to the first point in is address, involving the
question of civil and religious liberty, he would say that,
without the first, men could not utter or write an opinion ;
and, with regard to the second, that he held it to be a great
injustice to make any difference between persons on
account of their religious principles. Now, on this point, he
thought the Catholics had a right to complain of the
government, because there were some restricticn, put
upon them with regard to municipal rights. With
regard to the Established Church, he would say
little, but there were some parts of it which he would like to
modify. It was a maxim Let him who works in the vine
yard taste of the grapes"—and this he applied to the curacies
and minor appointments in the church, the bidders of which
did the work and starved on small salaries, while their supe-
riors rolled in luxury. He had addressed a letter to the
public press, stating that he should oppose with all his
might any state endowment of Popery ; he hoped
they would not, therefore, think him an anti-
Popery man ; but it was because he disapproved
of any endowment by the state of any sect or religion what-
ever. He opposed it on the general grounds, not bemuse it
was a Popish endowment, but because it was a state endow-
ment. The next points to which he would call attention
were, that he was for the extension of the suffrage, vote by
ballot, and short parliaments, into which questions he went
at length, proceeding from thence to the corn-laws, and
the part which he had taken in advocating their abo-
lition, referring to the deputations which he had headed
to Lord John Rummell nn the subject of opening the
ports, and dwelling in a severe manner on their non sweets,
which opinions were ill received by the meeting, who re-
sponded with three ehe is for the noble lord. Mr. Cochrane
then proceeded to detail the pursuance of his system of agita-
tion, maintaining his opinion that ministers had acted wrong
in delaying to open the ports and declaring that the death of
every unfortunate person from the famine should be laid
upon their shoulders. The New Poordaw came next, in
which he considered a great reform was needed. Mr.
Cochrane concluded by thanking the meeting for the atten-
tion with which they had listened to him, sad expressing
his willingnem to explain any point which he had left
untouched.
Mr. I :sots asked his opinion of the government measures
for Ireland, and whether he did not think that England,
Scotland, and Wales were entitled to the same privileges
with regard to waste lands ?—Mr. Cochrane acquieeced in
the belief.—Mr. Ingle then asked his opinion of the probate
and legacy duty on real property as well as personal pro-
perty, pointing out some points for reform, in the justice of
which Mr. Cochrane fully agreed.
After a few words from Mr. Edwards, Mr. Lammers'
moved the following resolution :
That we, the electors of St. Georges and St..73MEIN present at this
public meeting, haring !wird with utirdaction the exposition of the
political principles and opinions of Churl. Cochrane, Erq., du rip-
prove of them, and deem him ant and proper person to represent the
city of Westminster In Parliament, and determine cordially to co-ope-
rate and unite with our fellow-citizens to secure his return at the
ensuing general election.
The resolution was carried without dissent, and Mr. Coch-
rane having briefly returned thanks, the proceedings termi-
nated.

HAIR-DRESSERS' EARLY CLOSING ASSOCIATION.—
Yesterday a meeting of this association wan held at the
Bedford-head Tavern, Bloomsbury, for the purpose of adopt-
ing means to obtain an abridgement of the hours of business.
The chairman said it was gratifying to remark that the early
closing movement had met with considerable sympathy from
the trade, some of the most influential employers having
given it their support by closing their shops at 8 o'clock, and
contributing to its funds.
ROYAL ACIRICULTCRAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND.— I
The council resumed their sittings for the session on Wed-
nesday last, when a monthly meeting was held at the So-
ciety's house in Hanover-square, the Berl of Egmont, mai-
dent, in the chair. Among those present were the Duke of
Richmond and the Earl of Dane. Col. Austen, M.P.,
chairman of the Finance Committee. presented the report on
' the funds and account, of the society to the list day of the
Illeitth of January, from which it appeared, that the
Wild property of the society stood at 7,0001. stock, and
that the current cash balance in the hands of the bankers
amounted to 4,7471. Mr. Fisher Hobbs having brought
forward his motion on the suldtell of the annual grant made
by the society to the Royal Veterinary College for promoting
the application of Veterinary Science to the pathology and
dirges of cattle, sheep, and pigs, Mr. Denison, M.P., de.
Mad to the council the circumstances under which that
pant originated, and the willingness of the college to afford 1
the fullest investigation into the mode in which they had
sodeavoured to carry out the views of the society.—Mr.
°Blies favoured the council with communications from Mr.
D. Webster and Mr. Clay, of the United States, respecting
a new mode of preparing Indian corn as food for cattle ; for
which, on the motion of Mr. Miles, M.P., the thanks of the
council were voted to Mr. Dillies. The council adjourned
to Wednesday next.
RE-APPEARANCE OF THE POTATO HIsEtSP..—At
the ordinary meeting of the Botanical Society of London,
held last evening at the society's rooms, 20, Bedford-street,
Covent-garden, J. Reynolds, Erg., treasurer, in the chair,
Mr. James Barnes, of Sidmouth, exhibited numerous
specimens of diseased potatoes of this year's early crop. Mr.
B. could find no potato free from the disease, and was afraid
it would be more serious than last year.
MIDDLESEX HOUSE OP DETENTION.—This prison,
erected on the site of the new Clerkenwell prison, will be
opened for the reception of persons remanded for further
examination and committed for trial, on the 25th proximo.,
it contains 1,000 separate cells.
SHIPMENT OF GUNPOWDER. The following
notice has been issued by the Admiralty : " Admiralty,
January, 1847. Notice is hereby given in pursuance of the
Act of the 64th of his late Majesty, Ring George the Third,
cap. 169, sec. 6, that it has been deemed necessary and expe-
dient that from and after the 10th day of February, 1847,
(instant), no prints ship of war, transport, or other private
or merchant ship or vessel, which may require to receive
gunpowder on board before leaving the port of Gravesend,
deal be brought up off that town ; but only in the lower
part of the reach, at which place their powder may be em-
barked. By command of the Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty. (Signed) H. G. Wain."
THE Cosy OF PEACE.—One thousand millions of
fiance (equivalent to about 42,000,0001.), earl M. Ardent,
*we spent in Europe subsequently to 1815 in fortifications
only. All the potentates, great and small, were seised with
this mania of fortifying their territories; and time now
proves that they put themselves more on the defensive for
the maintenance of peace than for invading of one =other.

SEGAR.—DISCRIMINATING DUTIEB.—Sir, Your
remarks upon this subject claim the best thanks of all un-
prejudiced men in the sugar trade. The regulations now in
force, by which it in intended to erect a standard of quality,
may fairly be called " frivolous and vexatious." The reve-
nue derives very little benefit, but the inconvenience to a
merchant u great. On arrival of • vessel, all the sugar on
board is entered, probably, for the lowest rate of duty ; but
some are found on landing to be such as in the
opinion of a custom-house officer ought not to pass
at this rate. Then there is • leisure, and a delay,
of which too many instances have occurred to render
it necessary for me to specify any in particular. With
many sugar cargoes it is quite impossible to escape disputes
from this source : for the claying of sugar, if of itself held to
be the test, would condemn all the growth of Brazil, most of
that of Cuba,and a large proportion of East India,both British
and foreign, to pay the -higher rate . so that really the at-
tempt is now made to draw a line between different shades
of colour, for instance, and make different rates of duty to
apply where the sugar has all been turned out of the same
mould or vessel ; that which was at the top, next to the clay,
white, that at the bottom, a dark brown. Such an impedi-
merit to trade will not long be suffered to exist if you will
I continue to make known the existence of the evil, and ob-
i tabs public judgment. —I am, &c., C.—Liverpool, February
3, 1847.
THE DRAINAGE Acr IN ENGLAND.—Sir,—There
is • statement in your paper of the lit brat, copied from the
Stirling Observer, letting forth the comparative enterprise
of the Scotch, Bngliah and Irish landlords, relating to the
three millions of money given in loan to landed proprietors
to drain their estates and employ the labourers. Notwith-
standing, it is said, the dreadful famine now raging the
cultivators of Ireland have appliedonly for the sum of 8,3911. e

• Inns mut hare beta written In ignorance at two runner drainage
arts, under which Irish landlords have taken up loan.—En. D. N.]

England, which is not so pinched, requires only
.80,1141.
las. 9d., while Scotland, which in its northern parts n Gaffer-
log considerably, requires 309,8151. Bs. Bd. Giving to Sea-
land the palm for patriotic improvements in drainage and
employment of labourers, the demand for Scotland (upon
Mr. M'Cullosh's returns) amounts to upwards of N. for each
arable acre in the country. While, in England, .t amounts
only to fl re-eighths of a penny, while, in Ireland, the outlay
would be only one-eighth of a penny for each arable acre.
The small sum required for England may be accounted fur
in this way—it has been the practice for more than half a
century so drain the arable land (clay aoi!§) about every 16
years at a cost from to 61. per acre, and that o day has
generally been performed at the tenant's expve which
precludes the necessity of the landlords of lingland
requiring a heavy bent., encumber their twtates. It is very
' evident, then, that the amount required for Sort:and (with
lon acreage than that of England) proves that the Scotch
landlords and tenants have neglected tho most larneficial out-
lay for the promotion of rood farming. Therefore, the Stir-
ling Observer must not claim the merit for patristiim and
energetic cultivation when they have yet, in Not land, the
drainage of the land to perform.--Joni Bii:o, tenant.former,
Hertfordshire.

BENKATIONS WHILE INHALING VAVOUR OF FiTHEre
—Sir,—Every fact relative to the operation of the newly-dis-
covered antidote to pain, must just now, be interesting. So
far as our first experience extends, the vapour of other pro-
mises to rank next in value after the discovery of Jeener. Hu-
mours, however, are afloat of certain injurious mitts of the
vapour upon the lunge, more particularly the larger air-
tubes. Three patients operated upon in a Londe° hospital,
after inhalation, have, it is raid, died of bronchitis. If this
be true, and the ether be proved to have had a deleterious
influence upon the mucous membrane of the bronchiw, its
exhibition must be employed more sparingly, but need not
be surrendered altogether. Much will depend upon
the proper chemical preparation of the reedy and
much upon the idiosyncrasy of the patient. These,
however, are points for future dieori,ion, and set-
tlement At present we want facts relative to the exact
effects of the inhalation upon persons of different ages, tem-
peraments, and conditions of health and strength. Thinking
that every contribution on these points has some iuterext, I
send you an extract from the .Viteidon• Jourmol of Tuesday,
which ban amused me, and may therefore amuse ethers. A
patient describes, in • letter to a physician, his feelings after
having inhaled the vapour of other, without compreemon of
the nostrils. The effect., in this case, appear to be very
similar to there produced by breathing the " laughing

Fla es. —Yesterday, a fire broke out in the tallow and
wax.candle manufactory of Mr. Green, 105, Mount street,
Grosvenor Naar,. The engines were quickly set to work,
and, after some hours, ths fire was extinguished, but not
before the work-shop, melting horse, and stock were des-
troyed, and the furniture in the dwelling-house damaged.
The lons is estimated to exceed I,oool.—About half part two
o'clock, p.m., another tire took place at a cigar manufactory
and tobacconist's opposite the Custom-house, and wax not
extinguished until property to a large extent had been
destroyed.
SUICIDE.—On Thursday, Mr. W. H. Hoskins, a
tobacconist, Dunstan's-place, Stepney, sent a letter to his
daughter, residing in another part of the metropolis,
stating that he intended to commit suicide, and that
by the time the letter reached her he should be no
more. Am he had made several attempts to destroy
himself, the daughter immediately proceeded to his
residence. Finding the shop closed, she waited upon
Mr. Williams, a pawnbroker, close by. A ladder was
procured, and Mr. William., with • policeman, effected
an entrance, and found Mr. Hoskins lying upon tho
floor quite dead, with a rope fastened abcut his neck. Mr.
Wallace, a surgeon, was called in, who said that the deceased
had been dead several hours. Mr. Hoskins had peculated
largely, and lost the whole of his property.
INFANTICIDE.—Yesterday morning the body of an
infant was found floating in the river, under the following
remarkable circumstances. About six o'clock id the morn-
ing, a lighterman was proceeding down the river in a barge,
when his attention was attracted to something :lending in the
water. He rowed some distance, and paled it into his
boat, and found the same to bee rush market basket, which
he secured as it was passing through Blackfriars'-bridge.
He examined the outside, and found it lab( lied, in a bold
hand-writing, "To be opened with care, from an old
friend." He rowed to the nearest stabs, and, upon opening
the basket, he found that it contained the dead body of a
newly-born male child. He called the pollee, who conveyed
the basket and its contents to Mr. Bridge, the summoning
officer, by whom it was removed to St. Saviour's workhouse,
Blackfriarsroad, where the body awaits an ingtiest.
INQUESTS, YESTERDAY. SUICIDE. Before Mr.
Carter, at the Duchess of York tavern, Batteries-field', re-
specting the death of Maria Murray, aged 18. The deceased
had been housemaid at Mr. Brians, of Wandsworth-road,
where she formed an acquaintance with an engineer on the
South Western railway, who lost his appointment and be-
came very poor. Thu so affected the deceased, that she
twice attempted suicide on Monday. After recovering, she
showed signs of repentance; but having been left alone, she
wane" from the house. Late in the evening her body wag
found in • pond near the house. Verdict, "Temporary
Insanity."

IRELAND.
DUBLIN, Psi. 4.
The Cork journals received to-day do not, I regret
to state, enable me to repeat the consoling conclusions
which I drew,from the absence, in those of yesterday,
of the usual harrowing details. The last Cork
Er'-
amine? is filled with accounts of destitution and
death. The parish priest of Skull draws a truly
melancholy picture of the state of his fleck. He re-
lates that in one village, where he was called on to
visit five adult sick, seven corpses lay for four or five
days unburied; and of sixty-three houses comprised
within what he calls " this field of death," not three
are, he says, free from disease. His brother clergy-
men or himself not unfrequently prepare for death
seven adults in one day. These dreadful ravages are
caused by fever, which has now set in, and which
finds those whom it attacks perfectly enfeebled from
destitution.

The Rev. R. B. Townsend, rector of SkitObereen,
draws a most painful picture of that devoted place.
The rev. gentleman states that owing to the amount
of relief afforded through the number of subscrip-
tions received by the relief committee, strangers have
poured into the town from all the surrounding
country, and now, instead of a population of 5,000
within the union (ecclesiastical) of Skibbcreen, the
' numbers have increased to between 8,000 and 9,000.
In one house alone, he states that 25 strangers are
contained. The rev. gentleman implores that the
benevolent, both bodies and individuals, will not
cease to send in their contributions to the committee.
Kinsale, Mill-street, and Macroom, as well as the city
itself, exhibit terrible distress.
The government measures are beginning to tell
upon the country. As they are understood they

appear to be hailed with satisfaction ; and the only
orgars of opinion which " hesitate dislike" are,
strange enough, the representatives of the landed in-
terests. Tira popular and the most sensible of the
provincial Conservative journals, such as the King's
aunty C". nue*, view the whole scheme as con-
ducive to tl"c social welfare of the country.
lithe Londonderry papers speak truth, government
will take much more active :Ups in the prosecution
of drainage; whether it be for the improvement of the
landlords' estates, or the reclamation of ;the waste
lands, is Itsld in doubt. The Derry Sentinel states,
that a Mr. Samuel Hemming Catn2sey has received
an order from government to have five millions of
tiles insnilactured, and that machinery had arrived
from England for that purpose. The drying-shells
will covey as acre of ground. The same paper state a.
that em:giratlott is beginning already in the north,
and that nasties are preparing to anti from Glasgow
for New York.
. Resident landlords are at present of particular value
in Irelard. Absentees also may conduce to the general
goad. Indeed, it is scarcely fair to ciao; the Marquis
of Lansdowne in that body which Swift long ago de-
scribed as rating up the very vitals of the people,
carrying away all things and restoring nothing. The
marquis has b.ien one of the most eminent benc-
fa; .ors ta the town of Kenmore. His latest act was
to ;.ive 20:1'. to the relief committee, with a fur:her
lo .;.t of .;') The parish clergyman says of the
noble marquis, that "no father could be more soli-
citous for the welfare of his children than the Marquis
of Lansdowne for the people of Kerry."
Government is censured for not basing taken the
supply of fond from the hands of the merchants, and
opened retail shops in every parish. The policy of
such a step is at variance with all sound principle,
and its value will soon be appreciated, though
sufferings may ensue. It is very doubtful whether
government could compete with private enterprise,
which has displageel the meat wonderful energy
within Os last months. As an instance of
runty local activity—the activity of true commerce—
I may mention that in one month, from the 31st
of I)er:ember to the 30th of January, forty-four
'vessels had arrived in the Shannon with all sorts of
breadstuff; from (artist: parts, e msigned to Limerick
merchants! Five vessels also arrived between Satur-
day and Tuesday, with Indian corn, wheat, and meal.

EDINDURGII, Fen. 4.

One eltesk is at last t ) be applied to thit immigra-
tion of Irish pi-taper, into Glasgow. The passage-
mor.ey by the eteam•boats is to be raked. Hitherto
the poor Irish have been regarded as a kind of live

at a noiniiitl freight. But when the same parties
