PATRIOTISM IN THE HAREM.—The Journal de Frank-

tazzi, who some time since made an advance to the
Porte of 35,000,000 piastres on the tribute to be received
from Egypt, has also furnished 10,000 pieces of cloth,
and all the wives of the employes in the war department
have been set to work to convert it into cloaks for the
troops. A large building has been converted into a
workshop for the purpose. The women of the harem
are similarly occupied, although they are not very expert
at needlework."

Remedy for Gout and Rheumatism.—Extract of a
letter from Mr. W. Moon, at Messrs. Godwin'ia, auc-
tioneers, Winchester, dated April 8, 1852. To Professor
Holloway.—Sir,—I beg to inform you that for years
was a sufferer from chronic rheumatism, and often laid
uy for weeks together, unable to move. I was attended
by the most eminent surgeons here, but obtained no
relief ; and was iuduced to go into our county hospital.
The medical treatment there, however, being of no
avail, I left, and commenced using your pills, which, I
am happy to say, in a short time effected a perfect cure,
and enabled me to resume my employment.— Sold by all

FLIGHT OF A CHRISTMAS LOTTERY KEEPER.—YeSter'
day considerable consternation prevailed among a large
number of contributors to a Christmas lottery fund for
the distribution of turkeys, geese, beef, plums, brand)",
&c., which was announced by a man of the name of
Button, a fried fish salesman, in business in the neigh'
bourhood of Rosornau-street Clerkenwell, to take plane
yesterday and the following day (Saturday). The lot-
tery consisted of 10,003 tickets at sixpence each, and •
there were to be 691 prizes. The draw for the prizes
was proceeded with at the John of Jerusalem, the land'
lord of which had no further to do with it than allowing
his room for that purpose. Throughout yesterday the
house was besieged by the subscribers, who were in"
formed that Mr. Button was not at home. The crowd
increased to such an extent, that it was necessary to send
for two policemen to protect the premises. Up to a late
hour last night persons were arriving from all parts o,
the metropolis, who loudly expressed their feeling® °I
anger.

MAYNOOTH.

On the order of the day being read for resum-
ing the adjourned debate on the appointment to enquire
into the College of Maynooth,
Mr. HADFIELD supported the appointment of the
committee, not simply becau he was opposed to the
grant to Maynooth, but because he protested against the
Regium Dmitri?, and every other kind of religious endow-
ments. There were thousands of Dissenters and Non-
conformists in the country who did not receive a penny
from the State, and he thought that not only the Roman
Catholics, but the Church of England, and every other
religious sect, should be placed in the same situation.
Yet, while the wealth of the Church of England was so
enormous, he could not see on what ground of justice
the hon. member for ,North Warwickshire could object
to the Roman Catholics receiving a small grant from the
State.

Mr. SCHOLEFIELD explained the reasons which
had induced him to propose his amendment for extend-
ing the inquiry of the committee to all religious endow-
ments, and said he had thought it right to omit from it
Ministers' Money and the Regium DOWUra, as they
formed exceptions to other grants, being included every
year in the estimates.
Colonel SIBTHORP should support the original
motion, because he considered that the grant to May-
nooth had been perverted from its original purpose.
Mr. DUNLOP approved of the amendment, and
should vote in its favour.
Mr. NAPIER defended the Established Church in
Ireland against the attacks which had been made upon
it by Mr. Hadfield, believing that it had been a great
boon and blessing to that country. So far from only
one person out of ten in Ireland being members of that
church, he understood the proportion was more nearly
one in every four. He was opposed to the amendment,
as it would have the effect of sweeping away all grants.
He thought there was something inconsistent in the
hon. member who moved it, because while he advocated
the voluntary principle, he wished to force that princi-
ple by force and compulsion upon the adherents of the
Church of England.

MORISON'S PILLS.
TO THE EDITOR.
SlR,—The duty paid to the English Government for stamps on
Morison's Pills amounts to 130,0001. This, perhaps, is the best
a, swer to the false and interested reports circulated by the lower
class of Doctors, to the prejudice of the above popular medicine,
which has now thood th st of 25 years' experience.

CLITHEROE ELECTION.

Mr. GASKELL moved that Mr. Speaker do not
issue his warrant to the clerk to the Crown to make out
a new writ for the electing of a burgess to serve in this
present Parliament for the borough of Clitheroe until
Monday, the 11th day of April next.
Mr. GOULBURN did not object to the motion, but
the house ought to use some discrimination in these
postponements.
After a few words from Sir R. H. Limas,
Sir G. GREY said there could be no objection to the
motion, because it was made by the chairman of the
committee, but in this and similar cases where there was
no reason to suppose that the bribery or corruption had
been of that nature as to justify ulterior proceedings,
the delay in the issuing of the new writ ought to be as
short as possible.
The motion was then agreed to.

MAYNOOTH.

On the order of the day being read for resum-
ing the adjourned debate on the appointment to enquire
into the College of Maynooth,
Mr. HADFIELD supported the appointment of the
committee. not simply because he was opposed to the
grant to Maynooth, but because he protested against the
1?-gium Donunt, and every other kind of religious endow-
ments. There were thousands of Dissenters and Non-
conformists in the country who did not receive a penny
from the State, and he thought that not only the Roman
Catholics, but the Church of England, and every other
religious sect, should be placed in the same situation.
Yet, while the wealth of the Church of England was so
enormous, he could not see on what ground of justice
the hon. member for North Warwickshire could object
to the Roman Catholics receiving a small grant from the
State.

Mr. SCHOLEFIELD explained the reasons which
had induced him to propose his amendment for extend-
ing the inquiry of the committee to all religious endow-
ments, and said he had thought it right to omit from it
•Ministers' Money and the .Regium Donura, as they
formed exceptions to other grants, being included every
year in the estimates.
Colonel. SIBTHORP should support the original
motion, because he considered that the grant to May-
nooth had been perverted from its original purpose.
Mr. DUNLOP approved of the amendment, and
should vote in its favour.
Mr. NAPIER defended the Established Church in
Ireland against the attacks which had been made upon
it by Mr. Hadfield, believing that it had been a great
boon and blessing to that country. So far from only
one person out of ten in Ireland being members of that
church, he understood the proportion was more nearly
one in every four. He was opposed to the amendment,
as it would have the effect of sweeping away all grants.
He thought there was something inconsistent in the
hon. member who moved it, because while he advocated
the voluntary principle, he wished to force that princi-
ple by force and compulsion upon the adherents of the
Church of England.

LOWESTOFT HARBOUR-TO MASTERS OF VESSELS.

Particular attention is directed to the following advice
in the book of regulations, page 4:—
A red flag will be hoisted on the Look-out Station when
the gates are open, and kept flying the time vessels draw-
ing 10 feet water can enter the inner harbour.
Vessels may enter the outer harbour at all times of tide;
and masters are advised to carry sufficient sail, and keep
their vessels properly under command, to hug the weather
pier-head, especially with a southerly wind and ebb tide ;
and to carry sufficient after sail, with a northerly wind, to
enable them to lull up after passing the pier heads, and
fetch into a clear berth to anchor, or to sail through the
inner pier beads; by neglecting these necessary precautions,
vessels frequently drive to leeward and get damage against
the piers.

DEPORT of the DIRECTORS
to the ORDINARY GENERAL MEETING of M MRERS of
the ENGINEERS, MASONIC, and UNIVERSAL ➢IUTUAL LIFE
ASSURANCE SOCIETY :

The Directors have to report to the Members that, during the year
1852, they have received 333 proposals for assurance, of which 251
have been completed, assuring the sum of 60,3801., and producing
annual premiums 'o the amount of 1,9751. Ils. 2d. Forty-e.ght pro-
posals ter the assurance of 15,9001. have been declined, and thirty-
four for the assurance of 7,1001. stand over for completion or fur. her
consideration.

The net income from premiums alone is 10,0511. 155. it d , after
deducting short-term, purchased, and lapsed po 'cies, and those
under which claims have arisen. The amount derived from these
sources since the commencement of the Society's operations has been
4,8181. 2s. 7d., while the claims from death have been but 3,9 01.
The number of deaths among the Members during the past year
has been five, to the amount of 1,2001. ; but the calculations of the
tables, a' the ave,age age of the whole of the assured, would have
led to the expectation of fourteen deaths. This result suflicienil,
indicates the care and discretion with which the lives have been
selected.
The Directors submit the present Report to the Members with
great satisfaction, feeling that the condition of the Society's business
is in every respect sound ; that the progress at first made with un-
usual rapidity has been continued without interruption, and that
although th' constant efforts of all assured are still required, and
must be steadily persevered in, the position of the office is now con-
firmed, and the future prospects are such as to justify the most
sanguine anticipations that have been at any time expressed.
By order of the Court of Directors,
ANTHONY PECK, Assistant Actuary.
