A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS.

rir HERE is not, perhaps, in the whole Me-
teria Mediae say one Remedy which so effectually
relieve,' the pairs of* suffering Patient as the AMERICAN
SOOTHING SYRUP. Who eon watch the writhing
tortures into which a lovely infant is often convulsed,
doting the period of dentition, without feeling sympathy
for its sufferings ? And who would hesitate to procure
remedy, wheel a remedy son he found, which is obvious
by the effectrial relief afforded in so many distressing mica
which are daily coming to the notice at Mrs. JOHNSON ?
Therefore Mothers ought never to be without the AME-
RICAN SOOTHING SYRUP in the Nursery ; for if a
Child awakes is the night with pain, by only rubbing the
gums with a few drops of the Syrup, it will immediately
open the pore*, heal the gums, and thereby prevent levers
and eonvillsioas; for should it some in competition with
any other disorder, it often destroys the mother's brightest
hopes.—To be had, wholesale and retail, of Mrs. Johnson,
sole Proprietor of the American Soothing syrip, and
Stiracia's Italian Oil for making the Hair grow, CS, York-
place, City-road, London; and, by her appointments of
Mr. J. Philp, Bookseller, Stationer, Printer, &c., Fish
Strand, Falmouth; and of all principal Medicine Ven-
ders in Town and Country, at Se. Bd, per bottle.

SELECT VESTRIES.

On Mondarevening a meeting of delegates from the
various complaining parishes took place in the Blue
Parlour, Freemason', Tavern, Great Queen-street,
Lincola's-inn-field,, for the purpose of taking into
Lt-erisideration Mr. Hobhouse new Bill for the bet-
ter regulation of Parish Vestries.
The meeting was numerously and respectably at-
tended, and Colonel .losits was unanimously called
to the chair.

The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the meeting, inti-
mated that he had attended a meeting in vestry that
day, held in the parish of Marylebone, when a
church and poor rate which bad been misapplied
was abolished. He congratulated them upon the
late change in the Administration, which would
afford them an opportunity of communicating their
grievances with greater facility than they could to
the Wellington and Peel Administration. He had
bad interviews with Mr. Hobhouse and Mr. Hume
on the subject of the Bill respecting the regulation
of vestries, and it was the intention of the former
gentleman to present the new Bill as early as pos-
sible after the holydayc, when he had no doubt from
the liberal views of the present Government, they
would be released from those abuses of Select Ves-
tries which had so long been the annoyance of the
Metropolitan Parishes.
Mr. WrrnEns, a delegate from St. Pancras pariah,
had carefully read over Mr. hothouse's new Bill,
which he approved of in every respect, with the
exception of two clauses of Mr. Sturges Bourne's
Act of the 58th of George 111., which were intro-
duced, and would materially injure the cause which
they had at heart. The clauses allowed a plurality
of votes to persons rated at upwards of 20/., and the
parishioner rated at 201. was entitled only to one
vote. This distinction between the rich and the
poor man would have a dangerous tendency, and
would afford the aristocrats an opportunity of se-
lecting whom they thought proper to represent the
great body, as the clause, according to the amount
of property, would allow to the extent of six votes.
He would never agree to the Bill until those clauses
were expunged.
Major REVVE concurred with the last speaker.
Mr. SAVAGE rose.—Mr. Hobhouse had said the
wording and principle of their original Bill was so
purely radical, that he attributed its ill success to
that cause alone, and he had no doubt that a new
Bill would prove more successful. As to the ob-
noxious clauses alluded to, he thought it was an in-
sult to common sense to say that a poor man should
be deprived of his right, and allowed to be oppressed
It), the rich.
A delegate from Marylebone said, the vestry was
a representation of property, and not of person;
and it
,would be inconsistent to allow a poor man the
same privilege as the rich : it would not do to make
a chandler-shopkeeper or a green-grocer a committee-
man.—(Groans:)
Mr. ROGERS—We had a green-grocer to-day at)
a meeting in Marylebone, and he exhibited a great
deal more intelligence and conduct than any of the
aristocrats present.---( Applause.)
Mr. SAVAGE recotnmended the delegates not to
listen to any artful excuse or manoeuvring, but to
insist upon Mr. Hobhouse presenting their original
Bill, whether radical or not,land to stand or fall by it.
Mr. ROGERS of (St. Giles's) and Mr. FENN (of
St. Martin's) censured Mr. Hohhouse for his back-
wardness and delay. He had been chosen a repre-
setitative by the working classes, and it was his duty
to protect them, and not work into the hands of the
aristocracy.
Colonel JONES called to order.

Me. FENN could not compliment Mr. Hohhouse.
He would always try to protect the poor man; he
had been a collector of taxes for many years, and it
was pitiable to witness the distress of the poor, who
were heavily burdened with taxes.
Another delegate said, that in consequence of
having presided over a meeting for the improvement
of the new police system, the select vestry had as-
sessed several houses to which he belonged, at up-
wards of 100/. annually. This malicious attempt to
injure him and his family had not the desired object,
as, thank God, that sum would net injure him.
After further discussion, it was resolved, that the
obnoxious clauses should he expunged from the new
Bill, and that delegates from seven parishes, headed
by the chairman, should have an interview with Mr.
Hobhouse, in order to communicate their sentiments
to him respecting the Bill, and to urge the earliest
day for its presentation.
Thanks were .voted to the chairman, and the
meeting separated.

The Corsaire contains the following poetical
arrangement of the composition of the new English Mi.
nistry
President, Lord Lansdowne; Premier, Lord Compte Grey;
" *eau Prive, Lord Durham ; Lord d'irelandes Anglesey ;
" A Pinterieur, ~Melbourne; an Controle, Sir Grant •
" Chambeilan, 'Devonshire ; la Mormaie, Aucklani;;
" A PEchiquier, Althorp ; -Lord Chancellor, Brougham;
Etranger, Palmerston ; Lord Graham.' •
• The author observes that in English Brougham and Graham
rhyme very well, since the former is pronounced " Browne" and
the latter " Creme."
SUICIDE BY A Boy.--On Tuesday, at five
o'clock in the afternoon, an inquest was held before Mr.
STILLING, Coroner, at the Duke of York, Upper York-
street, Marylebane, upon view of the body of WHJ,Last
AGNAT, aged 14, who committed suicide on Saturday even-
ing last, by hanging himself in his uncle's stable. A num-
ber of witnesses were examined, by whose evidence it
appears that the poor boy had destroyed himself merely
because he had thrown down his uncle's favourite horse,
and broke its knoes, and was fearful of being blamed far
it. Verdict_.." Temporary derangement."
BPo/11'1Ni:1 R owl E Wednefiday three
young men alighted from the Dublin Mail Coach at Sett-
nnaLaNn't Hotel, each carried a fowling-piece, they all
wore shouting-dresses, and, as sporting characters, 111.-
inred on the " Way Bill" the appropriate name of
Alunt," their appearance attracted some observation.
After breakfasting at.the Hotel they walked through the
town, purchased one or two silver watches, a hat, &C.,
and subsequently reillied out in pursuit ciPme, but spent
their shot on " Carrion Crows." Some circumstances
afterwards occurred which awakened the suspicion of Chief
Constable Peasit (who is stopping at the Hotel) and be
having communicated with the Mayor, a few constables
were conveniently stationed, and the sportsmen were or•
rested on Thursday evening, on their return from shooting
—the result of the strict investigation which followed,
was a confession that a robbery of some India Bonds and
editable trinkets had been perpetrated by one of the party
on his master, a gentleman reeiding at Kensington, and
that the bonds were disposed of on 'Change for over 300
sovereigns, which they had intended to spend in Eirdand
like Gonmen." They were immediAtely committed to
gaol, and a communication made to the proper authoritite
in London on Subject,.. Tipperory Fru Puts.
