—erstulence, pain in the side and under the shoulder blades, distres-
sing sensation of choking, oppression after meals, depression of spi-
rits, tnd a yellow skin. They have also been of extraordinary ser-
vice to persons afflicted with obstinate sores ; anti with scurvy,
fau?rbut,ie humours, or eruptions of the skin.
These favourite Liver Pills are warranted to contain no Aloes,
Gamboge, or other Drastics ; they do not occasion Piles, or any
pain during their operation.

Soft fell the dew, and mild was the morn,
That lovelily opened, that wakened the dawn ;
Soft fell the dew in its exquisite sheen,
Real love might be pictur'd, true bliss might be seen.
I have seen that dew fall, I have seen that morn break,
And the sun :.11 re,plendent in glory awake;
That sun cast a shadow, but the shade when I snot

Orders have been given by her Majesty the Queen
to have the new throne fitted up at Buckingham Palace with-
out delay. Workmen are engaged in erecting it, and it is ex-
pected that it will be completed by Saturday next at the latest.
It is the intention of her Majesty, in future, to receive all ad-
dresses and hold all Privy Councils at Buckingham Palace,
but levees and drawing-rooms will be held at St. James's Pa-
lace as heretofore, the suites of state-rooms being better adapted
for the latter purpose at the old than the new Palace.

George King, the urchin of twelve years of age,
who has so repeatedly been remanded on charges of felony,
was again brought up, his father, on this occasion, being in
attendance. The latter said that the prisoner was one of
twelve children (of whom one was transported, and another
was in the borough gaol for felony), and that, like several of
the others, he would neither go to school nor work. The
Mayor expressed his conviction that the boy had been dread-
fully neglected when young, or he would never show such a
dreadful want of principle, and, after asking the father how it
was possible for society to exist-if all parents neglected their
duty as he had done, reproached him with his want of proper
fatherly fouling in not having inquired after the boy while he
was in prison. The father said that both he and his wife bad
done their utmost to restrain their refractory children, and,
after the culprit had promised to work in the brick-yard, if he
was not compelled to be a chimney-sweep, he was discharged
with a severe reprimand.—Leicester Mercury.

On Friday morning last Mr. John Lloyd Venables,
a young gentleman the son of a clergyman in England, and
who is highly connected, committed suicide by cutting his
throat with a razor. Mr. Venables had very recently taken
up his residence in this island (Man), and is believed to have
committed the dreadful deed from family difficulties weiohinis.
on his mind.—Mona's Herald.
RIVAL TO Tim HOT AIR BLAST.—Mr. Tep
loff, of the Russian Mining Corps, states (Annales des Minis)
that in the smelting furnaces of the Ural, where the quantity
and velocity of the blast are properly regulated, 1.4 of pig
iron is obtained by one of charcoal fuel, while in other fur-
naces they obtain but 4 and 6 by the same consumption of
fuel. The velocity of the blast being increased, the heat
within is increased without a corresponding consumption of
fuel. In an experiment made by order of the Government, it
was found that one hundred cubic feet of air, under a pressure
of two inches of mercury, produced the same effect as two
hundred cubic feet, under a pressure of one inch, with this
difference, that in the latter case, twice the fuel was consumed,
which was required in the former case. In one furnace which
is mentioned, 23,0001b5. of iron were obtained in twenty. four
hours, by 16,0001b5. of charcoal. Previous to the due regu-
lation of the draught they consumed twice this amount of fuel
for the same yield of iron. This economy is obtained by duly
proportioning to each other the size of the blast pipe, and the
pressure of the draught. The relation of these with each
other varies with the furnace. Mr. Teploff asserts that the
results thus obtained exceed those with the hot air blast; but
it does not appear that any comparisons have been made under
his examination, and with the charcoal fuel.—Mechanics'
Magazine.
The thunder-storm, which visited Manchester
about half-past one o'clock, appears to have been experienced
at Heywood about an hour afterwards, and, we regret to say,
in one instance, with fatal effect. The lightning entered the
scutching-room of the cotton-mill of Mr. John Wild, known
as the Goolden Mill, Goolden-lane in which were a man,
named Edward Butterworth, and a boy, when the former was
killed instantaneously. The boy, on seeing Butterworth fall,
rushed out and escaped unhurt. On the alarm being given,
several persons proceeded to the scotching-room, and found
that, in its passage through the room, the electric fluid had set
fire to the cotton. The flames were speedily extinguished,
and surgical aid was called in ; but Butterworth was quite
dead, having apparently never moved after he was struck.
The body was conveyed to a cottage behind the mill ; and, on
stripping it, the course taken by the lightning was distinctly
marked by its dreadful external effects. It seems, as we
understand the account we have heard, to have entered the
right foot, doubtless attracted by nails in the clogs which the
poor man wore ; and, after tearing the sole from the upper
leather of that on the right foot, to have passed up the leg,
scorching and tearing away the skin in its progress ; thence
up the right side, passing off at the right shoulder. His calico
shirt was burned in two places ; one on the right side, and the
other at the shoulder; and, at the latter place, there was a
very small perforation of the flannel shirt which the deceased
wore next the skin. Butterworth was fifty-five years of age,
and, we are sorry to learn, has left a widow and eight children
in distressed circumstances.—. Manchester Guardian.

On Tuesday morning the servants of Arthur Scou-
ler, Esq., of Overinnen, Kyles of Bute, were not a little sur-
prised at finding, instead of salmon, a hugo whale entangled in
the salmon nets. The top nets, which are intersected for
strength, with strong ropes, are made somewhat similar to
bags, and into one of these it had thrust its head, and thus its
side fins were rendered quite unserviceable. Of course it did
not submit calmly to be taken, but used its tail in throwing up
water to such an extent as threatened to engulph every boat
that ventured near it. The men, however, embraced every
opportunity to inflict wounds on its body, and at length so
weakened it that they were enabled to drag it on the beach. It
measured above forty feet in length, and twelve in breadth at
its thickest part. It was towed up the river on Thursday by
the Sampson steamer, and hoisted out of the water amid a
vast concourse of spectators by the large crane at Broomielaw.
It was then drawn along Argyll-strect, Trongate, and Gallow-
gate, by 16 horses, to the cattle market, where it is now exhi-
biting. Its weight is said to be upwards of 25 tons; its tail
measures about ten feet in breadth,—Glasgow Courier.

The LORD CHANCELLOR and Lord BROUGHAM
sat this morning at ten o'clock, and gave judgment in
several cases. At twelve o'clock, the judicial busi-
ness having terminated, the doors were opened for
the admission of those having tickets to the Stranger's
Gallery, which, with the exception of the reporters'
scat in front, was appropriated to the daughters of
Peers and other ladies. Before half an hour had
elapsed, the Gallery was crowded to excess, and its
appearance would have gladdened the heart of the
Hon. and Gallant Member for Gloucester.
In the body of the House most of the seats were
ticketed with the names of Peeresses who intended to
be present, after the manner of the House of Com-
mons when a heavy debate is expected, and in the
course of an hour about a hundred had arrived. The
ladies were all attired in deep mourning, with plumes
Of black feathers, and, contrasted with the gorgeous
state robes of the Peers, and the brilliant costumes of
the Foreign Ministers and Ambassadors, the appear-
ance of the House was very peculiar and striking.
At half-past One there was scarcely a seat unoc-
cupied, and the space railed off behind the episcopal
bench for the accommodation of the foreign Ministers
being found insufficient for that purpose, several ob
tamed seats in the Peers' gallery, on the right of the
Throne. In the left hand gallery we observed Earl
Grey, and Earl Durham and his family. Eall Durham
subsequently took his scat among the foreign ambas-
sadors.

The Throne and footstool which appeared to have
been newly decorated and regilt, were covered with rich
crimson velvet, under a canopy of purple velvet. The
letters ". G. R," behind the Throne, remained in the
same state as previous to the death of his late Majesty.
At twenty-five minutes to Two the Lord Chancellor
in his robes took his seat on the woolsack. Several
of the Cabinet Ministers and Judges had by this
time arrived, and the officers of the House were
obliged to exert themselves to the utmost to pro-
cure seats for the late acrivals, among whom we noticed
the Duke of Sussex, Icho took his seat on the front
Ministerial bench.
MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS.

Mr. PRYME, and others from the Commons, ap-
peared at the bar with a message from the House of
Commons, requesting that that House would be pleased
to furnish them with a copy of the report of the Select
Committee appointed to enquire into the operation of
the new system of education in Ireland, with the
Minutes of Evidence and Appendix.—Agreed to.
The Duke of SUSSEX presented a petition from
the Society of Friends, which he had withdrawn on a
former occasion, for the purpose of having the word
" Lords" altered to " Peers of Parliament."—Laid on
the table.

Lord Lyndhurst took up his position_ on the back
Opposition benches, close to the entrance door, but
subsequently resigned his place to a Peeress, and stood
on the floor of the House, right in the way by which
her Majesty was to pass to the Throne.
At Two o'Clock the first gun was fired announcing
the departure of her Majesty from the Palace. In7i-
mediately afterwards her Royal Highness the Duchess
of Kent, accompanied by the Princess Leinengcn, en-
tered the House. All the Peers and Peeresses present
rose on her entrance. Her Royal Highness and
the Princess took their scats on the Woolsack
with their backs to the Lord Chancellor, just
in front of the Throne. Her Royal Highness
was engaged in conversation with the Duke of Sussex
(who had taken his place on the left of the Throne,
for the purpose of receiving her Majesty,) for some
minutes. At this time there was not a seat vacant in
the galleries or body of the House ; and the firing of
the guns, and flourishing of trumpets, announcing. the
near approach of her. Majesty, roused up the excite-
ment to the highest pitch, every eye being strained to
catch the first glimpse of their youthful Sovereign.
At twenty minutes to Three o'Clock precisely her
Majesty, preceded by the heralds and the Duchess
of Someiset, bearing the crown on a cushion, and at-
tended by all the great officers of State, entered the
House, all the Peers and Peeresses present, who had
risen at the flourish of trumpets, remaining stand-
ing. Her Majesty was attired in a splendid white satin
robe, with the Riband of the Garter across her shoulder,
and a magnificent tiara of diamonds on her head,
and a necklace and stomacher of large and costly
brilliants.

Having ascended the Throne, the Royal Mantle of
crimson velvet was placed on her Majesty's shoulders
by the Lords in waiting. Her Majesty on taking
her seat appeared to be deeply moved at the novel and
important position in which she was placed—the
eyes of the assembled nobility, both male and female
of the land, being rivetted on the Royal Person, and
her emotion was plai►►ly discernible in the ►apid heav-
ings of her bosom, and the brilliancy of her diamond
stomacher, which sparkled out occasionally from the
dark recess in which the Throne was placed, like
the sun on the swell of the smooth ocean, as the
billows rise and fall.

After the lapse of about two minutes (the Peers
and Peeresses having remained all the time standing')
Viscount Melbourne, who stood close to the right
band of her Majesty, intimated, we presume, that it
was customary to desire the Peers and Peereses to be
seated, and her Majesty, in rather a low voice, and bow-
ing condescendingly said, " My Lords, be seated."
Sir Augustus Clifford, the Usher of the Black Rod,
having
been directed to summon the Commons, a great
uproar was heard shortly-afterwards below the bar;
and the Speaker was observed struggling to make
ins way to the bar, amidst a crowd of Members who
appeared all equally anxious for precedence, and the
most prominent of whom was Mr. Wakley, the lion.
Member for Finsburv, who had laid hold of the
Speaker's robe as the best means of securing a front
place. This incident appeared to restore her kiajesty's
self-possession, and she was observed to smile at the
anxiety evinced by her " faithful Commons" to obtain
a view of the proceedings.
The SPEAKER then addressed her Majesty as
follows

" May it please your Majesty—We, your Majesty's
faithful Commons, attend upon this first occasion
since your accession to the Throne, to assure your Ma-
jesty that we cordially participate in that st;r?ng and

universal feeling of cordial and affectionate attachment
to your Majesty's person, which prevail among
a free and loyal people, whose representatives we are ;
and we trust that that zeal will be strengthened and
confirmed by a long course of constitutional, beneficent
and wise government. Several measures, and one of
them especially of the greatest difficulty and importance,
were recommended to our serious and deliberate conside-
ration in the Speech delivered by the Lords Commis-
sioners on the part of his late Majcsty on the opening
of the present Session.
" But circumstances have rendered it impossible that
these measures could be perfected in the course of the
present Session, but we cherish the hope that the care
and labour bestowed on them will not have been in vain,
and will lead to their being hereafter matured and
carried into effect with the general concurrence of all,
and the assured prospect of thus promoting the welfare
and happiness of the community at large.
"We have passed an Act to establish a more definite
rule for the execution of Wills, and we confidently
anticipate that this measure will be found beneficial,
because it tends to promote concord and happiness
among a large portion of the community, by giving
security and certainty to the transmission of property.
" The mitigation and improvement of the Criminal
Law has engaged our serious consideration, and
we have materially ditninished the number of cases
in which capital punishment is to be inflicted. In
framing these measures, we have availed ourselves
of the benefit of experience, which has shown that
those punishments are alone effectual which carry with
them a large portio❑ of public sympathy and approval ;
and we feel assured that these wise and salutary mea-
sures, embodying as they do, important amendments
in the criminal law will be received with general satis-
faction. We confidently anticipate that the efforts we
have made to mitigate the severity of the law will this
day receive the sanction of your Majesty, and the
approval of a liberal and grateful people
" We have provided for the expenditure of the year
with the strictest regard to economy, but with a libe-
rality necessary to ensure the efficiency of the public
service.

" We now dutifully offer to your Majesty the Bill
in aid of appropriating 5,225,000/. out of the Con-
solidated Fund and the Act to appropriate the supplies
in this Session of Parliament, and we humbly pray of
your Majesty to give them your Royal assent."
The Royal Assent was then given by the Clerks in
the usual form to the following Bills :
The Consolidated Fund Bill, with the Appropria-
tion Clause.
The Central Criminal Court Bill.
The Burglary Bill.
The Transportation for Life Bill.
The Punishment of Death Abolition Bill.
The Offences against the Person Bill.
The Robbery and Stealing from the Person Bill.
The East India Postage Bill.
The Forgery Bill. •
The Piracy Bill.
•
The Bills of Exchange Bill.
The Burning and Destroying Buildings Bill.
The Letters Patent Bill.
The Municipal Rates Bill.
The Municipal Corporations (England) Bill.
The Clerks of the Peace Bill.
The Church Building Commission Bill.
The Trading Companies Immunities Bill
The Corporate Property Protection (Ireland) Bill.
The Grand Juries (Ireland) Bill.
The Blackwall Commercial Railway Bill.
The Adams Estate Bill.

The LORD CHANCELLOR then declared the
Parliament to stand prorogued to Thursday, the 10th
of August next, " to be then here holden."

Her Majesty- then descended the Throne—her il-
lustrious Mother, the Duchess of Kent, who had been
watching the proceedings throughout with the greatest
anxiety and maternal solicitude, following immediately
behind. The Queen, on leaving the House of Lords,
bowed and smiled most graciously to several Peeresses
on either side.

The Queen having re-entered her state carriage, the
procession returned in the same order to the Palace.

The cheering along the entire line was most vehe-
ment and deafening ; the fineness of the weather—the
novelty of the pageant of a Queen going to prorogue
Parliament—and the auspicious circumstances under
which her youthful Majesty has commenced her reign,
having attracted an immense concourse of persons to
witness the ceremony, which passed off without the
slightest accident.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, JULY 17.

The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes
after One o'Clock.

Mr. Waller appeared at the Bar, and presented
certain papers from the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests.

A message from the Lords stated that the Lords
had agreed to the Amendments of the Commons
to the Clerks of the Peace Custody and Documents'
Bill.

Mr. WARBURTON brought up the report of
the Committee on Railway Subscription Lists.

POOR-LAW COMMITTEE.

Sir J. lIOBIIOUSE brought up the report of the
Committee on Poor Laws.

THE HANOVERIAN SOVEREIGN.

Col. THOMPSON, seeing a Member of her Ma-
jesty's Government in the House, would ask the ques-
tion of which he had given notice yesterday, namely,
whether her Majesty's Ministers view as authentic the
proclamation purporting to be issued by the
King of Hanover, on the sth day of this
present month of July, in which he declared
he did not consider the Constitution agreed to by his
predecessors, Geo. IV. and William IV., as binding
on him either in form or in substance, and intimated
his intention of reverting to the old Constitution with-
out consulting the States-General ?—(Loud cries of
" Hear, hear.")

Mr. P. THoMSON could give no answer to the
question. It was rather a question for the Stases of
Hanover to consider.

Colonel THOMPSON—Then, Sir, at an early
period of the next Session of Parliament, I shall move
foi leave to bring in a Bill to declare that in the exist-
ing circumstances of the Crown, no foreign prince or
potentate ought to have any jurisdiction, power, supe-
riority, preeminence, authority or succession, within
.this realm, or any of the Queen's dominions, and to
vest the succession, in the event of the demise .of her
Majesty, in Prince George of Cambridge, and his
heirs.—(Loud cheers.)

Lcrd P.ALIMERSTON presented a petition fro!"
certain citizens of London, complaining of abuses is
the London School.

BILLS OF EXCHANGE BILL.
Mr. WARBURTON, seeing one of the Members
for the City of London present, wished to, ask him
whether be did not approve of the period of twelve

The following essay on An Improved Method of
Making Hay," procured the award of the Highland and
Agricultural Society's Silver Medal to Mr. John Irving, of
Dumfries-shire, the author, and is printed among the prize
essays of that Society :
It is too much the prevailing opinion in Scotland, that
meadow-hay cannot be secured there as effectually as it is
in England. The cause of this prevalent opinion, it is ap-
prehended, is the want of knowledge in the art of making
meadow-bay. The usual practice of making every kind of
hay in Scotland is, to allow the grass to stand too long be-
fore it is mowed, and in the case of meadow-bay until
August, when the seeds of the grasses are nearly ripe, and
the stalks have lost almost all their succulency ; and to
allow the swath to lie for some days till a considerable part
of its moisture is evaporated. The cut crop is then shaken
out and turned over, when it again lies for some days till
it is sufficiently dry for putting into large cocks. The hay
frequently remains in these cocks, in the fields for two or
three months. It is then carried and made into a stack,
when it is expected that no fermentation will take place,
Scotch farmers imagining that fermentation in bay should
always be avoided.

A method of making hay similar to that practised in
England has been adopted by C. G. Stuart Monteath,
Esq:, of Closeburn, by whom the writer has been em-
ployed for some years past as farm-overseer. This me-
thod practised over an extent of water-meadow (chiefly
consisting of peat-moss of seventy feet in depth, and
upwards of one hundred imperial acres across in ex-
tent), is to cut the grass as early in July as the weather
will permit. The grass mowed in the morning, before
twelve o'clock, is carefully shaken out upon the ground by
hand, and that mowed after twelve o'clock is allowed to
remain in the swath till next morning, when it is likewise
shaken out. If the weather is at all dry, the hay that has
been shaken out is always put into small cocks for the
night, so that the ground may be sooner dry next morning
to receive the hay for its exposure to the sun ; and after
two dry sunny days' exposure, it is frequently, and always
upon the third day, carried to the hay•barn, where it under-
goes a trifling fermentation, which is a desirable process
when hay is made with its natural juices. If the weather
prove rainy, the hay should remain in the small or hand
cocks till a dry day allow of its being shaken out, and, in
the evening, carried to the hay or Dutch barn. This barn
is formed of larch poles, set upright, 15 or 18 feet in
height, including a space of 15 feet in breadth and GO in
length, and supporting a light roof of thin boards, or a
slight covering of straw stitched upon the rafters. No per-
son who expects to have good meadow hay should be
without a Dutch barn. Salt is generally sprinkled amongst
the bay when it is packing up in the hay barn, in the pro-
portion of about sixteen pounds to the ton ; and, should
the hay have been exposed to much wet weather, a double
quantity will be advisable. hay has thus• been made here,
under my directions, for many years, without a single ton
of it ever having been spoiled.—Dun fries Cloutier.

A new feature is .observahle in the ceremony of
Tier Majesty's entering the Royal carriage on state occasions.
As soon as her Majesty has placed her foot on the carriage
steps the trumpeter of the escort guard intimates the fact by
the sound of the trumpet. This is a custom not before ob-
served, but the effect of it is very pleasing, and not without
utility, as it prepares the guards for being in immediate readi-
ness to form in with the Royal cortege.
MISS PA RDOE'S " CITY OF THE SULTAN."—
Instead of the slight and frequently erroneous sketches which
travellers furnish of the countries through which they pass we
have in these volumes a more complete insight into Turkish
domestic life, habits, and society, than has appeared in any
other publication. Miss l'ardoo is a very easy and agreeable
writer; her descriptions are highly graphic and entertaining;
and her work will rank not only with the most amusing of the
day, but with the best books of travels that have appeared for a
considerable time. The volumes are superbly illustrated.—

The lady of Les Vanden Bergh, merchant and
Dutch Vice-Consul of, this port, was in 1830 delivered of a
fine boy at the time the minute guns were firing announcing
the burial of his Majesty George the Fourth, and Mr. Vanden
Bergh was presented by his lady with another boy on Satur-
day last, being the day of interment 4A our beloved Sovereign
William IV.—Hampshire Advertiser.

The Dominican- Convent of Boula has been reduced
to a mass of ruins. On Monday last, about the hour of one
o'clock, immense volumes of smoke and sparks were observed
to issue from the kitchen chimney; and, although the work-
men employed on the premises used every possible exertion to
extinguish the fire, all their efforts were unavailing; the en-
tire building, with all its offices, was soon enveloped in flames,
Happily every article of value was rescued from the jaws of
destruction ; nnd, although many of the residents and country
people incurred the most fearful risk, not one received the
slightest injury.—Dublin Freeman's Journal.

Mr. O'Co- mien has made the letter of Lord Durham
the subject of three motions :—First, that the political creed of
Lord Durham is the political creed of the General Association ;
secondly, that the placard now posted over the chair in the
Corn Exchange, containing these words—" Scotland has Mu-
nicipal Reform : England has Municipal Reform : Ireland has
been deemed unworthy of Municipal Reform," be taken down,
and replaced by another, containing these words, adopted from
Lord Durham's letter—" The Queen and Liberty : the Queen
and the Constitution : the Queen and Reform ;" thirdly, that
an address to her gracious Majesty from the General Associa-
tion. representing to her the unjust and tyrannical conduct of
the house of Lords towards her faithful and loyal Irish sub-
jects, should be drawn up and forwarded to the Earl of Dur-
ham for presentation.
DR. GRANVILLE'S " SPAS OF GERNIANy."—.

is blended with information; and descriptive sketches cf the
" humours and fancies" of each Spa arc mixed up with the ac-
curate details collected on the spot of everything that is useful
in a medical or social point of view. The great value of
the work must be apparent to every one ; it is, in fact, an
indispensable companion to the traveller in Germany, whether
he journeys in que.d of health, pleasure, or amusement. The
volume contains no less than thirty-eight views of the various

NEW STAR FISII.--A specimen of this beautiful
and rare species of star fiah has lately been procured from the
coast of Caithness, by Dr. Johnson, of Berwick-upon-Tweed,
in compliment to whom it is named Asterias Johnsoni. The
body is square ; the surface is fiat, and covered with granules
and warts ; in the centre of a ring of the former are many
small apartures protected by a pair of roundish scales, which
open and shut at the will of the animal. When fresh, the
colour of this beautiful creature of the deep is a bright red or
scarlet ; but by keeping, the colour fades to a faint and dirty
brownish yellow. —John o' Groat's Journal. •

RAPID TRAVELLING.—A gentleman left Liver-
pool last week, by the half-past two railway baits, for Bir-
mingham : thence, he posted it to London, which, after sundry
dislsters on the road, he reached at six the next morning.
From London he proceeded, by an ordinary stage-coach con-
veyance, to Birmingham, ar.d arrived in Liverpool, by the last
railway train, shortly after eleven next night. The whole
journey, upwards of 400 miles, was thus completed in 34
hours ; the quickest, there can scarcely be a doubt, on record.
The John Baru which sailed from Dundee on
the 15th March with emigrants to New South Wales, has
been heard of from St. Jago, in the Cape do Verd Islands,
on the 25th of April. Sac had put in there to water. There
had been two births, and tErceiufiants had died. In other re-
spects all were well.
