TO TUE LADIES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news_
paper on Aug. 7, If 4f.. Reader, remember, this letter was put Int

" Mrs. Weekley, A No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly tl tanking Mr. If. Grimstome, of the Herbary, High-
rate for the eelcae y of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair either head, after using itabout four months,
and the whole of her hair is mach stronger and more luxuriant than
lever was before tie baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Wee.kley 1 as arts this testimony to7the virtues of Mr. G.'S

SECRETARY—James Murdoch, Esq.
The barony and estate of Islay, comprising the island of Islay
and small adjacent islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and
Glasgow, and is one of the richest and most productive properties in
the west of Scotland. It contains about 140,000 acres, of which
34,000 are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture.
The present rental of this magnificent property amounts at present
to 20,0001.; but a Government grant of 30,0001. is now being ex-
pended in drainage an! improvements. The rents are periodically
and legitimately increased as the leases fall in, and it is evident that
such a property must, under improved agriculture, afford a much
larger return. The purchase, it is expected, will be effected for
about 500.0001., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose,
and contingent expenses, of 600,0001., in 12,000 501. shares, each
shareholder to nominate a life, and the whole body of nominees to
be insured out of the rental, so as to secure the repayment of his
subscription to every shateholder whose nominee lapses. The
remainder of the accumulated rental is to be divided every ten years
amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the
estate. On the basis of 12,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000
nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general business
of a life assurance company, so as to secure an annual dividend of
profits.
Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton-
tine, will, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his
Investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of In-
terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of
the general life assurance department (and the basis and guarantee
indicated cannot fail to make this branch most extensive and lucra-
tive) ; he will, moreover, participate, every ten years ins nominee
survives, In the accumulated and constantly improving rental ; and,
in the event of his nominee being the last survivor, will become
tic absolute owner, in fee simple, of the entire estate. It is also
to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the
marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en-
hanced.
The principles of the proposed Tontine have been maturely con-
sidered by F. G. P. Neison, Eeq., the eminent actuary of the Me-
dical and Invalid Assurance Company, and recelvsd his entire ap-
probation.
The estf to is to be vested in three trustees, resident in Scotland.
The affairs of the Society shall be conducted by a board of sever
directors in Scotland, communicating with a board of correspondence
in London. Two general meetings shall be held in Scotland in the
months of June and December.
Tne preliminary deposit to be ss. per share (being the maximum

be made on esinplete registration. The remainder to he called up

-,e.ILAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS
IL 11 Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar

Yon,
" To Mr. Thomas Prout,

4' 14th June, 1847.

" .50.,—IIaving suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke In
the moniing comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished
the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health, I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and t'ey all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from hem. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effcc:ed by your
wonderful medicine, Sou are at perfect liberty to publish it.
." I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
J. J. WILSON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and_ all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.
They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.

REPORT OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF
PHYSICIANS ON CHOLERA.

A long report of the cholera committee, appointed
some time since by the Royal College of Physicians,
has been agreed to, and will be circulated amongst the
members of the college. The following are the prin-
cipal results arrived at, and the conclusion which
seems to have justified them :
" 1. Bodies presenting the characteristic forms of
the so. called cholera fungi are not to be detected in
the air, and as far as our experiments have gone, not
in the drinking water of infected places.
"2. It is established that, under the term annular
bodies' arid ' cholera cells, or fungi,' there have been
confounded many objects of various and totally dis-
tinct natures.

" 3. A large number of these have been traced to
substances taken as food or medicine.

"4. The origin of others is still doubtful, but
these are clearly not fungi.
"5. All the more remarkable forms are to be
detected in the intestinal evacuations of persons la-
bouring under diseases totally different in their nature
from cholera.

" Lastly. We draw from these premises the general
conclusion that the bodies found and described by
Messrs. Brittan and Swayne are not the cause of
cholera, and have no exclusive connexion with that
disease; or in other words, that the whole theory of
the disease which has recently been propounded is
erroneotp, as far as it is based on the existence of the
bodies in question.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.'
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIM ES.—The political fortunes of General Nar-
vaefi and of his Administration have scarcely owed
more to his own firmness and resolution than to the
weakness and ineptitude of his adversaries; and if
any thing was still wanting to complete his ascendancy
over the councils of the Queen of ',Spain, that want
has been supplied by the late ridiculous and abortive
attempt .to destroy it. Hitherto the Duke of
Valencia has more frequently been compelled to
display his remarkable •energy of character by the
attacks of the Liberal party, the intrigues of foreign
Liberal agents, or the commotions of the populace,
than in the defence of the Constituiion. But on the
present occasion the attack came from the opposite
quarter. It was not—as some of our contemporaries
imagined in their inflexible and indiscriminating
antipathy to the only able apd successful ruler
whom modern Spain has produced—it was not by
an intrigue of Christina, or with any intention of
favouring the return to office of a more popular Go-
vernment, that this transient and whimsical stroke of
policy was attempted. On the contrary, the personages
of the plot were in every particular worthy to have
figured in the ancient comedies and stratagems of the
Court of Spain. A crafty monk and an ecstatic nun
were the principal agents in the transaction ; a Prince
who bears the title of King Consort, and exercised the
functions of a Master of the Household, though sunk
in the torpid superstition and premature decrepitude
of his race, was their tool ; and their object seems
to have been the formation of a Government,
priest•riddeti in the Cabinet and unrepresented in
the Chambers, without the slightest hold on any
political party, on the army, or on any man of. note
or ability, as if it were to show the world bow con-
temptible and impossible a thing the absOlutism
of such a Courts as that of Spain has now become.
We are left to conjecture what means were em-
ployed to obtain the assent of Queen Isabella to so
extravagant a proposal, especially as it was presented
to her by one for whose judgment and resolution she
can have no respect, and who became her laughing-
stock when he became her husband. Probably the
decision was suddenly taken in one of those freaks of
prerogative or in that state of reckless indifference to
which the Queen of Sapin has sometimes given way.
The Queen-Mother was evidently unacquainted wish
the scheme, for she once remonstrated with her
daughter, and doubtless perceived the vast accession
of influence and consideration that such a blunder
would give to a Minister already sufficiently powerful
to be at times the object of her own jealousy and
dread. The Ministers themselves appear to have had
wind of the project for their destruction but a short
time before the ordinances of dismissal were signed,
in spite of the household spies which infest every
room in the Palace. It is scarcely credible that
the luckless nominees of the King, who held the
I offices of State during this day of dupes, were pre-
pared for the task which devolved upon them. At
any rate they made no active use of their authority,
and abstained from taking any of those vigorous
measures which would alone have given even a chance
of success to an Absolutist conspiracy. No appeal
was made to the army, no arrests took place amongst
those who would be most able and most resolved to
oppose, in the name of the Constitution, so sudden a
coup d tut. Narvaez himself seems to have felt on
his return to office that such opponents as these were
too paltry to be severely dealt with ; or possibly the
exalted position of the chief conspirator may have
saved the lives of all the rest. The King was at
once removed from the head of the household, and
deprived of the only share of authority over the royal
property he had ever enjoyed. Friar Fulgencio
will probably expiate his offence by severer exercises
of piety in an Andalusian monastery, and the nun
Patrocinia, whose impostures have long been a
scandal to the Church, may " go in peace" to one of
the more retired convents of the Queen's dominions.
But General Balboa escapes with a visit to an African
garrison, and his colleagues may mourn in more than
their former obscurity the momentary aberration of
the prerogative which converted them into statesmen.
The only real gainer in the transaction is General
Narvaez himself, who has shown by his conduct on
this occasion that he is as little disposed to sacrifice
the reviving Government of Spain to a cabal of
fanatical Absolutists as to surrender it to the populace
in the streets of Madrid, or to quail before the
Opposition in the Legislature. It is precisely because
the existing institutions of Spain are upheld by a firm
grasp and a competent power that we venture to hope
they will not again degenerate into anarchy, or sink
under the foolish and perfidious hostility of either
branch of the royal family. Hereafter it may be for
the welfare of Spain to have Administrations imbued
with a more liberal spirit, and Ministers of a more
temperate and forbearing character. If the Constitu-
tion last, the gradual progress of events may bring
about these salutary changes, but at present the es-
sential point is that the institutions which may one
day bear these fruits should strike root into the soil,
and that the authority of the laws should be equally
maintained against the crafty emissaries who reach
the royal closet, and against those emissaries, no less
crafty, who foment the discontent of the populace. It
is the privilege of constitutional government, that
although a change of Ministers may be effected by
an indiscreet impulse of the Crown, as we witnessed
even in this country in 1834, their tenure of office
depends on the more serious and deliberate convic-
tions of the nation. It is evident from all the
accounts which have reached us that the fall of
the Narvaez Cabinet was received with equal
dismay and surprise in Madrid, and the
prompt return to. office of that Government was
hailed with satisfaction even by its habitual
opponents. For, however, they may desire to over-
throw the Government by the effects of fair debate
and by the will of the Chambers, they are well aware
that it a powerful minister could at once be paralyzed
and expelled by occult influence of the most sinister
and despotic tendency, representative government
would cease to exist altogether. In this instance,
therefore, the triumph of Narvasz has been that of
the Constitution itself, and we trust the lesson will
not be lost upon the Court. His own conduct, when
he became aware of the intentions of the royal per-
sonages, appears to have been dignifiedand judicious;
and it is, perhaps, fortunate that he showed no dis-
position to resort to other measures, which so sudden
and violent a provocation might have suggested to
his resentment. We have long been of opinion that
the Duke of Valencia is upon the whole the Minister
best fitted at this time in Spain to support the. throne,
in spite of various occurrences so derogatory to its
proper dignity—to preserve the public peace at a period i
of frequent revolution—to promote the real welfare of
the nation—and even to lay the basis of more sincere
and complete constitutional government. If at mo-
n.ents of danger and comparative weakness he has
shown himself' harsh, intemperate, and overbearing,
it must be conceded that when he has found himself
in the full possession of undisputed power he has
shown no mean submission to the arbitrary tendencies
of the Court, and in the important affairs of Rome
and of the tariff he has leant rather to the side of a
liberal policy. In short, he has held his own inde-
pendent course against the intrigues of the French
dynasty and the intrigues of the Spanish confessional;
he has raised the tone and attitude of Spain in her
relations with foreign Powers ; under his administra-
tion the army, the fleet, and the finances of the king-'I
dom have revived; he has crowned his policy by a
general and unrestricted amnesty; and if his more
rigorous measures have sometimes justified the invec-
tive of his opponents, it must be admitted from the
e,vidence of facts that the results of his policy have
surpassed the expectations of his adherents, and have
almost obliterated those traces of anarchy and civil
war which 40 years of incessant contests had inflicted
on Spain.
AD VERTISER.—Thanks to Lord Roden and
his friends, the flames of religious discord have ex-
tended once more from one end of Ireland to the
other. At the extreme and central points of Ireland,
that deadly enmity which once disgraced both reli-
gion and humanity, and opposed a hopeless barrier
to all political improvements, again rears its hideous
deformity at the magic bidding of men who have
stultified their understandings and betrayed their
trust. Under the Marquis of Downshire, in the
North, and two Protestant Associations in Dublin
and the extreme South, the old reign of bigotry
hoe been re-proclaimed. In the dismissal of Lord
Roden the Protestants of Cork see nothing but
" conciliation and support of Papists and rebels, the
discountenancing of Protestants, and the propa-
gation and spread of ' error and false doctrine. " If
the occasion were not so serious, we could smile at
the childish alarm which these words betray. But
they contain a graver import than this. They re-
veal the feeling of the dominant minority of Ireland,
fostered by past mis-government, and which seems
to have equally perverted their good sense and cote
rupted their morality. For let any dispassionate man
renal for a moment the circumstances which gave rise
to Lord Peoden'o dismissal, and consequently to this
address of the Corlc Association, and what inference
' must he draw from those facts, coupled with the len•
guage above quoted ? Why, he must conclude that
in the mind of an Irish Protestant the act of
dismissing from the bench a nobleman and his
1 associates, who had encouraged, and afterwards
protected the perpetrators of the most savage murders,
' amounts to " conciliation and support of Papists and

rebels," &c. Now, if we compare the Protestant
rebels of this year under Lord Roden and the Messrs.
Beers, with the Catholic rebels of last year under
Mitchel, Meagher, and O'Brien, there is one remark-
able distinction between their cases, whichconstitutes
a vast disparity between their crimes. No
matter how mistaken, no matter how criminally
rash were the rebels of the Confederation, they
appeared as the vi et- arnzis advocates of a starving
people ; of men who had none of the comforts of life ;
and who, until late years, had but few of the privileges
of society. Oppression with them was an hereditary
grievance. It was an estate—and their only one—
handed down from father to son. Few nations have
endured what had been inflicted on the Catholic
portion of Ireland ; and if a set of young men, stung
with the recollection of an embittering part, and
seeing its fruits in the squalor and death so thickly
strewn around them, were hurried into acts of
violence, all we can say is, that both here as well as
in Ireland, there was a feeling to this extent in their
favour, that the commutation, of the capital sentence
was hailed with universal satisfaction. But when we
turn to the rebels of 1849, we see a very different
set of advocates, and a very different race of clients.
Whatever was worth having in Ireland
was in the possession of these men. The
miserable minority of the country, they had the lion's
share of its wealth ; they received it from former
Legislatures ; they held it by a title of pre-
scription, even admitting the fraud of the original
grant; and no man was seeking to dispossess them
of their gains, well-gotten or ill. Will any plain-
sensed Englishman tell us, what cause had these people
to rebel ? What incentive had they to rise in arms
against their Catholic fellow-countrymen, from whom
they had nothing to get but their blood? To turn
triumph into insult, and perpetuate the 'taunt, they
assembled in. arms, and, after the banquet in Tolly-
more Park,'repaired to their after-feast of slaughter
at Doily's Brae. It would be an insult' to common
sense to pretend that the criminality of the latter
case does not greatly exceed that of the
former. But so utterly deficient do the
Irish Protestants appear to be in this commo-
dity, that what in England we have denounced as a
day of barbarous murders, they appear to regard as
something very virtuous and admirable. They cha-
racterize Lord Clarendon's resolution to put down this
butchery as an attempt to propagate " error and false
doctrine ;" whence we may fairly conclude that the
way to propagate sound doctrine is to murder idiots
and old women, and turn incendiary- wherever a
Catholic has a house or a haystack. Now all this, upon
which the disaffected Protestants of Ireland are
" grown so great," will not in the end prove the most
nourishing food for their party. While they believe
that they are acting in a very heroical manner, the
quiet people of this country are looking on
with as much patience as men can command,
who are called to witness the revels of
fanaticism. They are measuring the rights and
wrongs of that " Protestantism" for which the
belligerents are so fierce in professions of faith ; and
they begin to think that this fine word is a mere
cloak for something else. We know that religion
has always been one of the most successful disguises
a bad or an ambitious man could assume. But if
the Irish Protestants fancy that they can play over
again a game of which every one here is heartily
sick, they are mistaken. Nor let it be forgotten
that these men have brought a bitter disappoint-
ment to hopes which had been ardently cherished
in England. After bearing, as far as money could
bear, the brunt of a famine of five years' duration—
in which the Protestant north would have refused us
the help of a sixpenny rate-in-aid—we had begun to
look for better times; and augured from her Majesty's
visit, that they were at hand. But Lord Roden and
his friends have put an end to that, unless indeed
they are to sink into the contempt they merit, and
Ireland be destined to survive their " loyalty." But
whatever is in store for us, in this respect, we repeat
the fact, that from north to south the old demon of
bigotry has proclaimed his empire, which we trust to
the strength of Government, and the good sense of
this country, will not be of long duration.

THE ROYAL VISIT TO THE CITY.
COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a special court was held, as the summons
stated, to receive a report on a communication re-
ceived by the Lord Mayor from Lord John Russell,
on the 27th inst., and on the course to be adopted for
opening the new Coal Exchange, in the event of her
Majesty's absence; and further to empower the com-
mittee, in conjunction with the Recorder and the
proper officers, to make such alterations in the address
of this Court to her Majesty as may be rendered ne-
cessary by the altered circumstances of presenting
the acme.

The court was fully attended by the members of
both courts.

The proceedings of the court were from etiquette
private.
We understand that the court proceeded—after
having heard the report read, stating that the Queen's
indisposition would, to the great regret of the corn-
mittee, probably prevent her Majesty from honouring
the City with her presence at the opening of the Coal
Exchange, and that Prince Albert and the Princess
Royal and the Prince of \Vales would represent her
Majesty upon the occasion—to draw up an address
adapted to the change likely to take place.
An address was then, we were informed, after some
conversation amongst the members, agreed to, expres-
sive of the strong feelings they entertained upon the
subject of her Majesty's indisposition, which they re-
joiced to hear was not at all of a serious nature, and
containing the substance of the address intended to be
presented to her Majesty.
The court then adjourned.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TAT TERS ALL'S -YESTERDAY.

Notwi►hstanding a considerable portion of the after-
noon was take❑ up in settling accounts for the last day's
racing at Newmarket, several horses were backed for
the Derby, the chief outlay being on Bolingbroke, at 10
and 11 to 1; and on Deicoon, at 25, 22 to 1. A very
large amount was invested on the latter; it is rumoured
that he has been said, but to whom did not transpire.
The Italian, Sweetheart, and Voltigeur, were also in
good forco. Steeplechase betting, if we may judge from
the commencement, is not likely to bo so general as it
was last season. Very few books have been opened as
yet.

Our manners as a people are becoming better,
because as a people we are growing more wise and intel-
ligent. We live among a generation of readers and
thinkers. The literary man is now a power. lie is no
longer the hanger-on of a great man, nor kicks his heels,
like Dr. Johnson, in the lobby of his " patron." Ile
writes :for the people, in a time when the nation has
grown reading. His sympathies are becoming every day
more popular; and literature has come to be regarded
as the great instrument of progress. The writers of
books, and the editors of newspapers, are the great
movers of the mind of the age; they are the corals
%fah build up from the deep great continents of know-
ledge and civilization.. And here let us not forget to
say a word for ourselves; for we too have our influence,
humble though it be. To you - into the people's minds,
week after we4k, instruction which is elevating, and
thoughts which are ennobling; to stimulate the tens of
thous suds of readers who havo already generously
patronized our enterprise, to efforts at self-improvement,
self advancement, and self-culture; to give a healthy
direction to their activities, and supply them with a
rational recreation in their leisure hours; this wa feel to
be no mean task, no unworthy labour; and we shall live
and work in the hope that, through our efforts, the
people's tastes shall be still further improved and the
world be made sti'l better.—Eliza wok's Journal.

PRACTICE OF THE BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT COURT
OF BANKRITPTOY.—On Saturday considerable disap-
pointment was experienced in this court by a large num-
ber of professional gentlemen and others, in consequence
of the non-attendance of Mr. Commissioner Daniell.
At one o'clock it wr s announced by Mr. Ryland, on the
part of the .1 assignees, that they had received a
communication from the Learned Commissioner that he
was unwell, and unable to attend the court that day. In
order, however, if possible, to prevent any disappoint-
ment, they had forwarded a communication by telegraph
to Mr. Commissioner Balguy, at Derby, apprizing him
of the circumstance, and requesting him to come to
Birmingham. If the learned gentleman was at home, ho
would, in all probability, receive it in time to arrive in
Birmingham at four o'clock. Mr. E. Wright said
they could proceed with the business if one of the regis-
trars would take the bench. The officer of the
court replied that the services of neither of these
gentlemen could be had ; Mr. Wilson was in London,
and the Hen. Mr. Cum m at Derby. The attorneys
and their clients then left the court, and returned at
four o'clock, when it was stated that an answer had
been received from Mr. Commissioner Balguy, but of
so ambiguous a character as to render it doulivul
whether he could come to Birmingham that day. The
answer received was " too late," but whether it meant
for the mid-day train or fur that day, they could not
tell. At five o'clock the court was lighted up, and ex-
pectations were entertained that the commissioner might
possibly arrive by the six o'clock train, but he did not,
and after keeping the court open till past seven, it was
closed. We believe such an occurrence almost unpre-
cedented, and it is said that it will constitute a ground of
complaint in higher quarters against some parties.
There were several cases entered by adjournment for
hearing, and what the legal consequences to parties may
be is very doubtful.
HOLBORN VOCAL CONCERTS.—We felt no smell
degrea of gratification in listening to a concert given at
the above hall (the fourth of a s_lies) on Wedne_,day
last, and were also much pleased to find an appreciation
on the part of the public; the audience being bo h nu-
merous and respectable. The programme o; erred with
Webbe's glee, "The Mighty Conqueror," which was
rapidly: succeeded by songs, duets, madrigals, &c.;
amongst which we may enumerate the madrigals " What
ho!' Beale; " Merrily wake music's measure," Barnett;
and "Down in a flowery vale," Festa; The English-
man," well sung by Mr. C. Field; " 11,)bert, t.)i qui
aime," from Robert the Devil, rendered in extremely
artistic style by Mrs. Temple; as was also the beautiful
ballad, from Aliwicana, " Scenes that are brightest,"
the encore in the latter being of the most worm and cor-
dial description. This lady also sung in two duets,
" Dunque io son," with Mr. Frost; and Barnett's " Sol
fa," with Mr. Temple, the latter receiving a deserved
en:ore. We may also mention the gl.2es, "The gipsey's
tent," T. Cook; and " Here in cool grot," Lord Mor-
nington; both of which were given with great precision
and effect.

HISTORICAL COINCIDENCES.—The Observateur
Beige shows that since the year 1789 all the revolutions
in France have been effect( d under Popes bearing the
name of Pius. Louis XVL was dethroned and decapi-
tated under Pius VI., the Directory was overthrown
under Pius VI.; Napoleon fell under Pius VII.; Charles
X. was dethroned and driven into hopeless exile under
Pius VIII.; and, finally, Louis Philippe L was deposed
and banished under Pius IX. Some may suppose that
the world will come to an end under Pius X .

"""Major- General Wemyss, C. 8., inspected the reserve
companies of the 38th Regiment, under Captain Adam-
eon, at Castlebar on the 20th instant, and expressed Lis

them. In the evening the Major-General dined with
Captain Adamson and the officers, by whom a party of
the staff, &c., had been invited to meet him.
