R. BUCKINGHAM'S CLAIMS.
At a PUBLIC MEETING heldat the FREEMASON'S
HALL, in London, on WEnwEsnaY, June 15, 1836, . _

LORD WILLIAM BENTINCK, M.P. for Glasgow, and late
Governor-General for India, in the Chair,

The following Resolutions were moves, seconded, discussed, and
carried:—

Moved by JOSEPH HUM E,ll. P. ; seconded by HERBERT BARRETT

bURTEIS, M.P.

1. That a Select Committee of the House of Commons, in-
cluding three of the King's Ministers, and other Members of both
political parties in the State, was appointed in 1834 to consider the
circumstances connected with the case of Mr. Buckingham, and
his treatment by the East India Company ; and after hearing
evidence at great length on both sides, the said Committee. in a
very full sitting specially convened, adopted the Resolutions drawn
up by Lord Glenolg, then President of the India Board, and a
tlember of the present Cabinet, as Secretary for the Colonies, de..
daring it to be the unanimous opinion of the Committee that com-
pensation ought to be made to Mr. Buckingham for the losses en-
tailed upon himself and his family, by the proceedings of the Go-
vernment in India.

Moved by CHARLES AnnusTus TULR, M.P. ; seconded by JoHN
SAYER POULTER, M.P.

2. That these proceedings were characterised by two distin.
guished individuals, now Peers of the realm, and judges of the
land, in their places in Parliament, in the following terms :—Mr.
Scarlett (now Lord Abinger) stated " that the Government of
India deserved the severest reprehension for punishing a man
without trial ; and that its conduct was not only oppressive bet cor-
rupt." And Mr. Denman (now Lord Chief Justice of the King's
Bench) said, " he considered the treatment of Mr. Buckingham by
the India Government to be one of the most cruel, oppressive, and
unjustifiable acts which he had ever known to have been com-
mitted by a British Governor in the history of the Colonies, bad'
as they were."
Moved by Colonel T. PETRONETT THOMPSON, M.P. ; seconded

by OrwAy CAVE, M.P.
3. That the conduct of Mr. Buckingham, which was thus visited
with such extreme severity, was characterized by Lord John
Russell, as Chairman of the Select Committee hew° whom
all the evidence on the case was heard (and now
Leader of the House of Commons), in the following
terms :—" The conduct of Mr. Buckingham, so far from attach-
ing any blame to him, is, in my opinion, perfectly conformable to
those rules of conduct, and those examples of freedom, which we
are accustomed to admire and hold up for imitation by others of
our countrymen • those portions of his writings which were parti-
cularly found fault with by the Indian Government, being such as
would do honour to any man possessing an honest zeal for the wel-
fare of the community in which he lived, and entitled him to, the
thanks of his fellow-subjects, and the amobation of a wise and
benevolent Government."

Moved by DANIEL O'CowsEr.r.,M.P. ; seconded by the Rev.

SEPTIMUS RAMSEY .

4. That notwithstanding these solemnly declared opinions of the
eminent individuals named, and the almost universal expressions of
public opinion from all parts of the country in favour of yr.
Buckingham's claims—the Meeting has seen with deep regretlhe
refusal of the East India Company, of the King's Government,i.nd
of the House of Comnions, to adopt the unanimous resolutions of
the Select Committee appointed under the sanction of the King's
Ministers, with the full concurrence of the whole House, and with-
out opposition from any quarter, specially to examine into and re-
port upon all the facts of the case.
Moved by CHARLES HINDLEY, M.P.; seconded by BERNARD

Sxow, Esq.
5. That the denial of justice by every constitutional authority
from whom redress might have been expected (the great wrong
being wholly without remedy in any court of law) leaves but one
other tribunal open to the injured individual—namely, that of the
British public—to whom the Meeting now appeals, with a confi-
dence that in them will be found a greater abhorrence of oppression,
and a more generous disposition to repair the wrong, than has been
evinced by those constituted authorities to whom Mr. Buckingham
has so often appealed, and hitherto always in vain.
Moved by Sir CHARLES FORBES, Bart. ; seconded by saris

Kairon gnothi—Fugit hora.
A Belief in the existence of the fountain of youth,
from which those who bathed in its waters gained a pristine
energy, was among the speculations of the 15th century ; it will, how.
ever, serve as no inapt type of the revivifying powers of art and medicine.
Those who, early victim; to a morbid imagination, have sought fatally to
anticipate the purposes c f nature, and have consequently lapsed into a
state which brings with it weakened capabilities and clouded hopes, may
tsy timely application to professional treatment, regain those first, noblest,
and best of powers that have been compromised by the criminal propensi-
ties of "guilty solitude," the progress of which is marked by the " lym_
phatica somnia" of Pliny, attended with bodily weakness and mental
apathy. We may indulge a natural exultation in referring to our daily
correspondence with grateful and convalescent patients, not ,confined to
our own c:nintry, but diffused over the whole world. For twenty-five
years has our peculiar treatment in cases of Nervous Debility proved emi-
nently successful, and we have hitherto resisted the earnest solicitations
of our patients to, publish their cases in a public address; the following,
however, has been so urgently pressed upon us by a medical friend, that
we have yielded toan importunity sufficiently excusable by the gratitude
it evinces:—

Dear Sirs-31v fondest hopes are realized! Accept my most heart-
felt thanks; words arc inadequate to express my unbounded gratitude.
May you long live to reap the rich reward of your labours in the teat_
dent of that class of diseases which have hitherto baffled the skill of your
ski esiical brethren.

There are many disorders of the generative system (which, when com-
pared with the above, may be termed subordinate) that are consequent
upon the too free and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, exhi.
biting in some, debility from excess, in others, the relaxing effects of a
tropical climate, and in many, indeed in how many, the various maladies
which afflict the student, the misanthrope, the gay, the dissipated, and the
libertine. In all these eases our practice, which embraces every grade in
society, from the man of rank to him of the humblest sphere, has been
uniformly successful; and as secresy belongs to our profession, the most
delicate and diffident may apply without fear or hesitation.

ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—The ordinary meeting
for scientific business was held on Tuesday evening, William
Yarrell, Esq., in the chair. On the table was a collection of
birds from North Africa, presented by Sir Thomas Reade,
a separate explanation of which was given by Mr. Gould.
Amongst these were two black-tailed bustards, a crested duck,
sand grouse, gross-beak, ptarmigan, Sc., most of which were
common in India and other parts of Asia, Australia, and some
of the warmer parts of Europe. Mr. Martin read a paper on
the osteology of the leutra marina, or sea otter, which was in
the collection of the late Mr. David Douglas. A paper was
also read beinc, a catalogue of birds found in the neighbour-
hood of Scarborough. This place, possessing every favour-
able circumstance both of warmth in summer, and cold in
winter, as well as being on the sea coast, was described as the
occasional residence of varieties of birds not seen in any other
part of the kingdom. Mr. Bennett announced the arrival of
many interesting objects to the collection of the Gardens since
the last meeting, the first of which was the giraffes. Prior to
the rear 1827 not a single individual of the species had been
seen alive to the north of the Alps, which rendered the posses-
sion of four by the Society at one time a matter of greater no-
velty and curiosity. A very interesting bird had also been
received from Mr. Reeves, of Cantor,, being a pheasant of a
genus never before seen in Europe. Mr. Willimot had also
presented a pair of finches, which, though common to Italy
and the South of France, had never before been seen in Eng-
land. The Society had also come into possession of a sin-
gular tortoise, which was remarkable for the projecting masses
of plates on the back and ribs, and which might be considered
a monstrous variety of the Testudo Indica. The meeting ad-
journed to June 28.
LI EGEOISE GAL LA NTRY.—Liege has been termed
the hell of women, the purgatory of men, and the paradise of
priests ! I believe it has been so termed rightly. lam sorry
for the sake of the Belgians to say, that females of the lower
classes are worked as hard as men ; and are put to labour that
is performed in England only by strong, men. I have seen
them attend on bricklayers as labourers ; I have seen them em-
ployed in digging for the foundations of houses ' • I have seen
them, worse than all, perform a species of work which is al-
most only fit for horses or malefactors. Two or three of these
poor things are placed on a heap of coal-dust, combined with
mud or moistened earth—the whole being wetted with water
thoroughly—and for the course of a long summer day these
creatures were employed in treading it into consistence with
their feet, like dogs in a wheel, horses in a gin, or thieves in a
tread-wheel. Whether it is a purgatory for men I cannot say
from my own knowledge ; if it be one, they seem to bear their
torments lightly. But that is a paradise for priests I think I
may aver ; for I never saw such a number of sleek, fat, happy-
looking human beings in holy orders, in any other city or coon-
try.—A Saunter in Belgium.

It has been repeatedly asserted that the grand ob-
stacle to the intellectual elevation, and, consequently, to the
happiness of the people in this country, is attributable to the
disastrous agency Of national intemperance. The, subscribers
to mechanics' libraries, and the managers of mechanics' insti-
tutions, should alsb be continually put in mind that national
intemperance is the great barrier to the spread of these esta-
blishments. The young operatives are from this cause, indis-
posed to intellectual improvement, their time for reflection is
wasted in meditations on new plant of drinking and frolic,
and money thus spent leaves nothing wherewith to help the
funds of a public library, or to purchase books for private pe-
rusal. The destruction of national intemperance is essential
to the downfall of national ignorance.— Temperance Magazine.

So much has property decreased in.value in Arun-
del, since the passing of the " New Municipal Corporation
Bill," that the dwelling-house, &c., of Mr. Davis, a bankrupt,
in that borough, which (within the last three years) had cost
Mr. Davis near 3,0001., was sold on. Thursday last at Arun-
del, by public auction, for 7651.—Brighton (Tory) Gazette:
It is in contemplation to complete the.line of the
new gallery of the Louvre, and we hear that as soon as the
works in progress at Versailles are finished, those of the gal.
lery will be resumed.

•
A fair damsel of seventeen, of a highly respectable
family, at Aire, in the Pas de Calais, appeared on Sunday,
the .sth inst., as the representative of the Virgin Mary, in
the procession of the Fete Dieu, She was, however, soon
tired of her assumed character, for she eloped the same even-
ing with an officer of the 4th Regiment of Cuirassiers.—Ga-
lignani's _Messenger.
•
DEATII OF TIIE BISIIOP OF KILLALOE.—
Died, on Tuesday, at his seat, Wellpark, near Quin, the
Rev. Dr. M'Mahon, R. C., Bishop of the diocese of Killaloe.
Dr. M'Mahon was consecrated coadjutor bishop of the diocese
about November, 1819, in which capacity he continued to of-
ficiate until the death of the late Dr. O'Shaughnessy, which
occurred in August, 18211, when Ile succeeded to the bishop-
ric. The Doctor was educated for the Church in Nantz, where
he distinguished himself.—Dublin Morning Register.

- -
Dr. Bissett Hawkins, who visited the Channel
Islands to inquire into the state .of our prison discipline, was
in Guernsey a few days since. We understand that he by no
means approved either of the 'construction or regulations of
the Guernsey jail.; but he admitted that they were not so de-
fective as in that of Jersey.--./ersey Argus.

MIND YOUR DOTS.—A. Kentucky Member of
Congress wished to write .to his wife on arriving at Washing-
tor, city, that be had "formed a connexion with a very agree-
able Mess, and expected to spend .the winter very pleasantly."
-Unfortunately, and greatly to the surprise and mortification
of the good lady to whom lie was writing, he inadvertently
jotted the e in the word Mess..

A TFMrrz•rNG OFFER.—A lady vvho styles herself
a candidate for connubial bliss, advertises in an American
paper that she " ardently desireS to unite herself to some gen-
tleman whose habits and disposition are accordant with her
own." The molest fair one says, " NI), complexion is bru-
nette, eyes and hair black, nose Grecian, mouth small, neck
slender, but proportionably full, height five feet three inches,
ancles and •hands delicately formed. Fortune, abDut 20,000
dollars."

ADMIRALTY COURT.

SALVAGE.-THE THOMAS MOULDEN.

This was an appeal from an award made by the Com-
missioners of Salvage at Margate, in a case of salvage.
The Thomas AfouNen, a brig of 107 tons burden, with
a crew of eleven men and a cargo of wool and tallow, was
proceeding up the Channel, upon a voyage from Odessa to
London, when. upon the 17th of January, she took a pilot
on board off Dover. The wind, which then blew on the
shore, soon became a gale and almost a hurricane, and the
vessel was consequently anchored near shore within sight
of the Margate heights. The Thomas Aloulden being in
that situation, a large lugger, the Queen, of thirty tons,
with eight men, who were out for the purpose of ren-
dering assistance to vessels in distress, went up and
offered her services, which, after a refitsal, were accepted.
Two men accordingly went on board and assisted in the
'itnanagement of the vessel, whilst the remaining six re-
turned to Margate for the purpose of taking care that a
signal should be hoisted from the pier, in order that the
crew of the Thomas Aloulden might know when there was
sufficient water to enable her to enter. Upon that
therefore, the cables were let slip, and she got safely into
Margate Harbour before high water. The two men were
compelled to remain on board the vessel to the 21st, in con-
sequence of her being kept under quarantine. On the next
day the claim for salvage had been referred to the commis-
sioners at Margate, and they had awarded 340/. From that
award the present appeal was entered. The value of the
vessel, freight and cargo was about 12,690/.
Dr. ADAMS appeared for the appellants. The KING'S
ADVOCATE for the salvors.

Sir JOHN IsticifoLL was of opinion that this was not a
case in which the Court was called upon to alter the award
of the salvage commissioners of Margate ; he therefore pro-
nounced again the appeal, and remitted the case, and of
course with the costs.
