" Sir,—lt Is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted
with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try
all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could
devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During
one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT
and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe
cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in-
stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment
soon began to abate, and a few hoses restored me to health, since
which I have had no return of the complaint.
" I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity
may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease.
" I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
" MICIIAEL NASMYTH."
The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's
Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted
with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the
head and face, and all analogous complaints.
The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
PILLS in curing every description of Gout end Rheumatism, have
secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past
or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours. but re-
store to perfect health in an inconceivably short spare of time. They
are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head
or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact,
such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this
medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is
scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many
grateful evidences of its benign influence.

THE PAG4NISM OF ROME—with all its monstrous
errors and superstitions, even to the human sacrifice, with
the faint shadow of morality which it inculcated, formed
the cement and support of the political fabric; and the
philsnphy of Epicurus and his followers, by denying the
superintendence of a Supreme Being, struck at the root
of all social and political morality, thus undermining the
ancient institutions of the Government, and paving the
way for an iron and blood thirsty despotism. The gross
fables and puerile mythology with which mankind
had been so long deluded could not resist the
assaults of sensual infidelity. The last was soon
enabled to dissipate the shadows that had so long
enveloped the human intellect, and to burst the bonds
of a superstition, whose head was hidden in the clouds,
and whose foot was on the neck of nations. But, in-
stead of inculcating a purer system of morals for
that which had been abotishecl, and erecting an altar to
Truth amid the broken shrines of the divinities it had
dethroned, in the pride of its heart, sensual philosophy
exalted its own form for the adoration of mankind, and
by removing sll the sanctions of religion—by corrupting
the motives and inducements to virtue—by stifling all the
aspirations of the heart, yearning and restlessly striving
for a higher and purer existence—it unbridled the wildest
excesses of passion; it recalled the divine principle from
its heavenward flight, and bade it seek in pandering to
the grossest sensuality the proper end and object of its
being. The result was inevitable. Crime on a gigantic
scale ensued. Rome grew drunk with blood. Men
looked with horror upon the present, and to the future
with despair. One universal night of gloom brooded
over her empire, and it seemed as if the impious
dogma of the philosopher had been realised, and that
the Deity had abandoned man to his fate. The religi-
ous sentiment of Turkey, misled and faint as it is, is the
best protection it possesses against such debaucheries as
the Saturnalia of Rome, or the utter debasements of the
Parisian worship of the Goddess of Reason.—Lynch's
Expedition to the Dead Sea.
NEW CURE FOR CHOLERA.—A correspondent of
the National, resident at Murat, communicates to his
friend the editor of that paper the following cure for
cholera morbus :—" Father Joseph Rizol stti, Vicar Apos-
tolic of liou•liouang, wrote on the 25th of November,
1542, to the General of the Franciscans of Alexandria, a
letter filled with details of the manners and customs of
the Chinese, in which the following passage occurs :
"Among other attacks on my health, I have had the
cholera rnorbus, and I should have been a dead man in
24 hours had not the malady been mado in time by a
good physician. The ordinary and most convenient
treatment is this,—the tongue of the patient is punc-
ture'd in innumerable places with the point of a table-
knife, or a crystal blade, so as to provoke an abun-
dant effusion of blood. Then, whilst some of the at•
tendants stretch the principal nerves by main force,
others give the patient severe blows on the chest, the
back, the thighs, and the hips until torrents of blood
gush forth. When the crisis is over the patient recovers,
at the cost of numerous scars and bruises and a skim as
black to that of a negro.' ",

EXCURSION ON BOARD THE
HINDOSTAN.
Saturday last being the day appointed by the Govern-
ment officers for. the inspection and survey of the Penin
attar and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's large
frigate steamer Hindostan, and short trip under steam
having been deemed necessary for that purpose, the di-
rectors embraced the opportunity thus afforded to exhibit
her to their friends, and therefore invited a large com-
pany from all parts of the country to join them at South-
ampton on the occasion.
For the convenience of those proceeding from London,
the chairman and directors of the South-Western Rail-
way placed at the disposal of the company a special
train, which lest the Waterloo-bridge station at 9 35,
and arrived at the Southampton docks at half past 11,
and hero the company embarked in the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamer Madrid for another vessel,
and proceeded to the Ilindostan, lying in Southampton-
roads. At and about the docks everything bespoke a
general holyday. The fleet of steamers were gaily
dressed with colours, and their officers were attired in
their best uniforms, and as the Madrid steamed out to
the Hindostau the Euxine, at her moorings, also dressed
out in colours and manned her yards. The Hindostan
was also gaily decorated with flags of all colours, and
fired salutes as the Madrid approached, and when the
directers and their friends _ arrived alongside she alsce
manned her yards.
All the company having arrived, the order was soon
given to slip the moorings, and at one o'clock precisely
the noble and stately ship swung round and started
down the Southampton water towards Spithead, gather-
ing fresh speed at -every revolution of her stupendous
wheels, the numerous company that had-crowded the
two steamers which conveyed the party from Southamp-
ton appearing upon her spacious decks a comparatively
small freight.
The fineness of the day, the bracing breeze, and the
sparkling sea were great auxiliaries to enjoy ment; but,
when to these are added the wide field of interest
which the inspection of the ship presented, it was
impossible for the most fastidious and inanimate
to withstand the influences of so exhilarating a
position. It was not, therefore, at all surprising
to find the ship in Stokes Bay, and the Government
officer, Mr. Rigby, accurately taking and recording the
speed of the ship at the measured nautical mile, before
all the points of interest in the vessel herself had been
discovered, and the superb fittings of the state cabins,
and the magnificent decorations of the saloon, had been
sufficiently admired. If there were any astonislameut, it
was to be found in the well-ascertained fact that the
Hindostan had been steaming at the rate of 141 statute
miles an hour, for she ran the measured nautical mile in
Stokes Bay in 4 minutes 50 seconds.
Spithead, however, soon attracted the attention of the
company, as the Hindostan swept across and rounded
her Majesty's ship Superb, 80 guns, Captain Purcell.
Hitherto the Hindostan had been steaming with the tide;
a little diminution in her rate of progress as she met the
ebb gave an opportunity for a look into Portsmouth
Harbour—a passing glance at a couple of fine first-class
merchantmen at anchor, and the interesting scenery with
which this locality abounds. In a few minutes the Hin-
dostan had again arrived at the measured mile, when
she ran the distance in 5 minutes 37 seconds, giving her
a rate ofl 10.682 knots, or 12k statute miles an hour,
thereby making her average rate of steaming no less
than 1l knots, or the excellent speed of 13k statute
miles. The good ship continued at this rapid speed to-
wards Osborne-horse and Cowes, when the time for re-
treatment having arrived, the agreeable summons was
duly given, but inasmuch that it was impossible tbat the
saloon could contain the numerous guests on board, two
tables were ranged along the quarter-deck for the re-
mainder, when, among the 250, who partook of perhaps
the most elegant and sumptuous collation that was ever
served afleat, we may enumerate the folio lying: —Berl

Toy, Captain Bowen, Captain Weeks, Captain Olive,
Mr. Walker, and Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier,
K.C.8., who boarded the Hindostan at Spithead in a gig,
having come out from Portsmouth in the Admiral's
tender.
After the usual loyal toasts had been drunk,
The CHAIRMAN coupled with the toast of " The Army
and Navy" " The Health of Admiral Sir Charles
Napier."
We need scarcely say that the toast was enthusiasti-
cally received, and the reply of the gallant Admiral was
anxiously anticipated.
Sir CHARLES, in acknowledging the compliment,
praised the qualities of the good ship Hindostan, and
said, should necessity call forth her services for the pur-
poses of war, she would, no doubt, be a most useful vessel
to be brought into her Majesty's navy. He had not had
the opportunity of examining the Hindostan himself,
but taking it tor granted that everything he had heard
of the capabilities of the ship was correct, he hoped he
should meet with many more so well adapted for the
purposes required; and looking to the steam navy of
Great Britain—he..meant her Majesty's navy—he dared to
say that many of our steamers were very much infericr as
war vessels to a great number built by the Peninsular
and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. He would
observe the example of the chairman, and make a short
speech; for, doubtless, they were more anxious to look
at the Needles than to hear him (Sir. C. Napier)
talk.—(Cheers.)
The company in the saloon took the hint, an] rose
with the gallant Admiral, and proceeded on deck to en-
joy the delightful scenery, which the Hindostan rapidly
passed as she proceeded on her course. In a very short
time, rendered still shorter by the attention which the
succession of new beauties of the island opening at every
moment absorbed, the well-known Needle rocks ap-
peared, and the Hindostan steamed up to abreast of
them, when, aftsr affording every one on board ample
opportunity of marking the extent of these well- known
seamarks, the head of the good ship was again turned
towards Southampton, and as she steamed along the
chair was resumed in the saloon, and Mr. Matheson pro-
ceeded with the toasts.
The Hon. CHAIRMAN proposed " The Health of Count
Reventlow and tha Foreign Ambassadors at the Court
of St. James's, by whose liberal and enlightened minis-
trations the most amicable relations were established and
maintained."
His EXCELLENCY returned thanks. •
The CHAIRMAN then gave " The House of Peers and
the Earl of Talbot"—a toast which needed no cemmen-
dee ion, for in reference to that august body one sen:iment
had been fixed by all classes, "Thank God we have a
House of Lords."—(Cheers.)
Earl TALB)T, in reply, said, whatever difference in
opinion might arise, the House of Peers, he was quite
sure, would always deserve the credit of conscientiouely
doing its duty towards the Sovereign and the country.
—(Cheirs.) His Lordship then called on the assembly
to drink a bumper toast to " The Health and Prosperity
of the Chairman and Directors of the Peninsular and
Oriental Company." The toast having been received
with loud acclamations, he said it would have been most
ungrateful if they had not done justice to the most liberal
and national company in existence, on board of whose
magnificent vessel they had that afternoon enjoyed so
splendid an entertainment.—(Cheers.)
The Hon. CHAIRMAN said he had been very recently
connected with the company, and therefore could, per-
haps, with more disinterestedness bear testimony to the
merits of those gentlemen who bad the credit of raising
the comp any to the distinguished position it now occu-
pies. To obtain what they desired—the approbation
of such an assembly as the present and the appreciation
of the public at large—no directors of a company had
ever worked so hard or exerted themselves so much.—
(Hear.) It was only just to the managing directors to say
that they had no sinecure in attending to the ftaterests
of so extensive a concern, and it required no ordinary
degree of application and business qualifications to work
the company so successfully as they had done.—(Loud
cheers.) lie felt quite assured that without the inces-

. .
sant exercise of those qualities conspicuously Manifested
by the managing directors the company would have not
attained that proud position it now holds in the public
estimation.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then said, as they had received equal
favour in the company of several members of the House
of Commons, the defenders and authors of the liberties
of our country, and the arena in which so many of its
members have learned to distinguish and qualify them-
selves for the Peerage, he begged to give as the next
toast, " The House of Commons," and to connect with
it the name of a gentleman who had acquired celebrity
not only in political circles, but in the fields of literature
—" Mr. Monckton Milnes."—(Cheeee
Mr. MxisEs, in reply, said, having once been on board
the St. Vincent, he had learnt to obey orders; and there-
fore, in the name of the House of Commons, he had
great pleasure in returning thanks for the honour done
to that branch of the Legislature. lie was sure that
the debate that had taken place that day would he must
advantageous to the country—(Laughter)—whilst the
diiiiion that would take place that night would cause
very great regret to many (Great laughter) but,
he was quite, certain they would all retire with the ,
greatest respect for their excellent chairman.—(Loud '
cheers.) .In the saloon of that ship theie bad pro-
bably been more exiting scenes than they had wit-
nessed. Only think of all the gay griffins" and all the
expectant brides that had gone out to India in her—
(Laughter)—only think of the successful statesmen and
East India directors (like his friend on the right), and
the few disappointed and liverless men that had come
back in her.—(Laughter.) They had heard of walls
that could speak, but if seoi)seecebins
,could relate the
tales of theirsiate mastefe; they would probably listen to
them welt more interest than to any speaker they had
I heard that day.—(Laughter.) He was delighted to see
in that vast and wonderful spicimen of the pride of
England, that which.distinguished her beyond all other
nations=a vessel not created by any public bidding or
royal summons, but by the instinctive genius and energy
of Englishmen.—(Cheers.) This it was that preserved
our beloved country amidst the tumults of the world—
(Loud cheers)—and from the fear and dread of inva•
sion, notwithstanding the unhappy prognostications we
sometimes hear—(Continuous cheers)—and which he
was sure needed only to be mentioned to receive a most
emphatic denial—(Loud cheers)—and which, perhaps,
he would not have alluded to had he not, in coming
down, perused an article taken from a French news-
paper, on the state of the French and English navies, in
which it was lamented that there was not in the Na-
tional Assembly such a patriotic representative as Admiral
Napier, to show in what a miserable state the French
navy was, and how utterly incompetent to stand against
the steam force of England.—(Cheers.) lie found in
the Hindostan a confirmation of that statement, and it
was gratifying to know that we could create as many
more like her as might be required. He, therefore, in
this pleasant excursion recognized not only the means of
enjoyment, but also the power of England.
Lord TALBOT then proposed "The health of the Right
Hon. the Lord Mayor," who formerly had the honour to
belong to the same profession as his Lordship. After
eulogising the Lord Mayor for his princely hospitality to
all parties, he took occasion to remark that he tulle
concurred in the just tribute that had been paid to pri-
vate enterprise so characteristic of Englishmen, and it
was most gratifying to him, as an officer of the navy, to
see so magnificent a vessel as the Hindostan available in
else of need for the purposes of war. Let us hope, con-
cluded his Lordship, that this vessel may continue to
raise our character as she has hitherto done in her useful
employment of dtsseminating the arts of peace; but, at
the same time, let us feel confident that she is competent
to maintain the honour of our flag whenever it may be
assailed.—(Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, said he
should be most ungrateful if he did not say a few words;
and, with reference to his hospitality, he could assure
them he had done no more than justice to the position
in which he had been placed by his fellow-citizens. He
hoped he htd done so irrespective of party, and that he
had succeeded in his endeavours to bring around the
citizens of London, as in ancient times, the high, noble,
and wealthy of the land.—(Cheers.) As an old sailor,
he felt at home in his native element, and it was no small
pleasure to him to find that the city of London numbers
among its community so noble and independent a'body
of men as the Peninsular and Oriental Company, and to
see that his fellow•citizens took so great an interest in
the mercantile glory of England.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed "The East India Com-
pany and Sir James W. Hogg."
Sir J. W. Hoag acknowledged the toast.
Mr. ANDERSON next gave " The health of Abbas
Pasha, the present ruler of Egypt," and alluded to the
great liberality the company had experienced at the
hands of Mehemet Ali and Ibrahim Pasha in connecting
the
_links of communication -between. EoglancLaud
Mr. PeSQUALI, as agent for his Highness and the
Egyptian Government, returned thanks, and said he
should feel it a pleasing duty communicate to his High-
ness the distinguished honour that had been paid to him
on the present occasion.
Sir. C. NAPIER then said the company had been
honoured with the presence of Hafiz Bey, the Commo
Bore of the Egyptian frigate, Sharkie, a ship that had
been navigated from Alexandria to have her screw steam
machinery fitted by Miller and Ravenbill. It must be
gratifying to 0v..,t-r-onit-pment.,, and the
Public at large,
that ships from all parts of the world ca
me here to be
perfected as steam men-of-war.—(Cheers.) He well
knew the exertions of Mehemet Ali, when in sound
health, to get up an Egyptian navy. He had been on
board a great many of his ships, and it was extraordinary
to see what one man had done in the course of thirty or

forty years ; he had produced no less than lourteen or
fifteen ships, and he was not the less astonished, as a
British officer, to see how well the Arabs went through
their exercises. Whether they kept their fleet up now,
or whether it was to the advantage of this country that
they did so, he did not know, but the ship they had sent
to this country was a wonderful production for them.
An Hon. Fz lend of his—(Laughter)—in returning thanks
for the House of Commons—(Laughter)—had made a
speech and had alluded to him in it.—(Laughter.)
Nothing could have been more in bad taste than that
speech in such a company as the present—(Laughter)—
a speech much better adapted for the House of Commons
than for a convivial and pleasure party for the Needles.
—(Laughter.) It was not his intention to reply to that
speech, and the Hon. Gentleman might take for answer
his letter to a "Mr. Scott Portland."—(Laughter.) He
begged to propose "The Health of Commodore Hafiz
Bey."—(Cheers.)
Mr. PASQUALI, as interpreter for Hafiz Bey, ex-
pressed the grateful thanks of the Commodore for the
honour conferred upon him by so distinguished an officer
as the British Admiral, and, in return, begged to pro-
pose " The Ladies of England."—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then gave, " The health of Mr. Chap-
lin and the directors of the South-Western Railway,"
whose gratuitous contribution to their enjoyment that
day in placing at their disposal the special traia, naLrited
the thanks of all present, and the special acknowleclg
ments of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, whose
interests they were always ready to promote.—(Cheeri.)
Mr. Cliarerte responded in hearty terms to the well
deserved compliment paid to the railway directors.
" The health of the Mayor and Corporation of
Southampton" followed, which being duly honoured,
a special toast was devoted to " The health of the
Chairman." _ _ _

By this time (half past seven o'cloclt) the Ilindostan
had entered the dock amidst the loud cheers of hundreds
of spectators, who had congregated there awaiting her
return. Akw minutes, notice was given for the special
train, and in a couple of hours as agreeable a party as
ever enjoyed an aquatic excursion were again in London,
ai.h pleasing recollections of the Peninsular and
Oriental Company and their magnificent ship the
Hinclostan.

THE AG XPEMONE.—In connexion with this con. •
cern, we observe, at the last Bridgewater country court,
a case that further illustrates the habits of the fraternity.
It was this:—lsaac Thomas v. Thomas Starkey, Lewis
Price, and Thomas Williams. An action for 201. Mr.
James Trevor appeared on behalf of the plaintiff, and
Mr. Rouse on behalf of the defendants. Mr. Trevor, in
opening the case, said the defendants had been bred
clergymen of the Church of England. Notwithstand-
ing they did not follow that profession, but lived at a
place at Charlinch, which they called the " Agapernonem
or the " Abode of Love." The premises occupied by
the defendants adjoin the turnpike road, and the plaintiff,
who was a labourer, residing at Spaxton, on passing
their premises, and hearing a noise inside, got upon the
hedge upon the other side of the road, which was high
enough for him to see 'what was going on. Plaintiff
there saw forty men and women playing at " hockey;"
upon their seeing the plaintiff about t enty of them
rushed out in the road with their bandies in their hands,
fell upon him and thrashed him within an inch of his
life. The judge gave a verdict for plaintiff with eleven
guineas as compensation.— Western Times.
OLYMPIC THEATRL.--•CEREMONIAL OF LAYING
THE FOUNDATION STONE.—On Saturday the ceremony
of laying the first stone of the new dramatic temple, in
Wyett-street, was performed before a large number of
persons invited, including the proprietor, irlr. Cavill, the
architect, and many others associated with music, thea-
tricals, and the fine arts. Mr. J. Cavill, son of the pro-
prietor, addressed the assembly, and gave a history of
the theatre, from its being the residence of the Earl of
Craven in the reign of Charles 11, through the various
phases of the eccentric equestrian, John P. Astley,
Robert Elliston, Madame Vestris, George Wild, Bolton,
and Spicer. Miss Ellen Cavill performed the usual cere-
monials with the silver trowel, and various toasts were
drunk, after which the party retired. Mr. Spicer, the
late lessee, has resigned all intention of continuing the
direction of the theatre. Amongst the candidates who
proposed themselves as tenants is Mr. Conquest, the
lessee of the late Garrick Theatre, which was burnt down
some years since.
DUBLIN, FRIDAY.---DEPARTURE OF THE MOUNT•
STEWART ELPHINSTONE.—The Cork Reporter of yes-
terday contains the following announcement ;—"We have
just learned (one o'clock, P.M.) that the Elphinstone
sailed shortly after eleven this morning, with Messrs.
Martin and O'Dogherty on board. We cannot under-
stand why these gentleman should have been sent out by
her if she was not considered a fit ship for the trans-
mission of the other state prisoners."

CAPTAIN WILLIAM BARTLETT'S STATEMENT OF THE
LOSS OF TIIE AMERICAN BARQUE CHARLES BARTLETT,
BY BEING BUN INTO, ON • THE 27TH JUNE, IN LAT.
50 49, LON. 29 30, HY THE STEAMER EUR,...PA, CAPTAIN
LOTT. , - •
The Charles Bartlett was a first-rate ship of 400 tons
register. She left the Downs, from Lbridon, bound to
New York, on the 14th Jape, with a ;general heavy ,
cargo, of about 450 tons weight, and 162 passengers in
the steerage, one cabin passenger, and fourteen souls of
the crew. Had fine weather, with light easterly winds,
up to the 19th. From that time to the 27th bad S.W,
and W. winds, and foggy weather. At noon it cleared
up a little. Observed the lat. 50 48 N., and estimated
the long. at 29 W. ; all well on board, and everything
looking prosperous. Soon after noon a dense fog set in,
wind. W. by S., ship heading to the N.W., close hauled,
all sail set. At three o'clock ordered a good look-out
from the topgallant forecastle ; also directed the man at
the wheel to look sharp to windward. At 333 P.M.
being on the weather side of the poop deck, heard a
rumbling to windward like distant thunder ' • turned my
ear windward and my eye to the horizon. The man at
the wheel noticing that I was listening, looked to wind-
ward, and cried out, "Sail, ho." lat once saw what I
supposed was a ship about one point forward of our
beam, about 400 yards distant. I ordered the helm
up, thinking if she did not discover us that we should
have time to clear her before she come into con-
tact. All hands shouted at the same time to
alarm the ship, and I ordered the bell to be rung,
and called to the ship to " port her helm," as I saw
that was the only chance of escape. There were nearly
one hundred passengers on the deck at the time. All
was of no use, for in one minute from the time we saw
the ship she was upon us, going at the rate of twelve
knots, striking us abreast of the after main shrouds.
The crash and the terrible scene that ensued I am not
adequate to describe. I was knocked to leeward with
the man at the wheel. I recovered myself in a moment,
shouting for every person to cling to the steamer as
their only hope; I caught hold of a broken chain on
the bow, and hauled myself up, shouting at the same
time to the crew and passengers to follow. I had barely
time to get on the steamer's bow, and while getting up,
I noticed that her bow was into the ship within a foot of
the after hatch, and that she was stove clear to the lee
side, and that full twenty feet of her side was stove in.
There must have been nearly fifty persons killed by the
collision, and every exertion was made by Captain Lott,
his officers, and crew, and the passengers on board the
steamer. The boats were lowered as soon as possible.
Unfortunately only about ten were saved by the boats,
the balance, making thirty-three (more or less), saved
themselves by hanging to the bow. The steamer lay by
the scene as long as there was any hope of saving any.
01 the crew, Mr. Thomas Parker, of Charleston, S.C.,
aged twenty-two; George Parsons, of Portland, Maine,
aged eighteen; and William Rich, of Gravesend, Eng-
land, aged twenty-five, were lost. A list of the passen-
gers and crew saved will be found in the public prints.
We were most hospitably entertained by the captain,
officers, and passengers of the steamer.
I will notice that all due exertion was used by Cap-
tain Lott, and officers and crew of the Europa, as well as
all the passengers. I particularly observed one passen-
ger using the most noble exertions. I saw him let him-
self overboard, and clench a man in his arms, and, find-
ing him dead, let him go. I next saw him on the bow
of a boat, hauling a man from under water with a boat-
hook, who was afterwards restored to life on board. I
afterwards found that person to be Captain R. B. Forbes,
of Boston. I cannot express myself as I feel for the
-noble and generous conduct of all on board in contribut-
ing to the wants of the surviving sufferers, and for the
sympathy felt by all, particularly by the ladies.
Yours, with gratitude, WILLIAM BARTLETT.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, JUNE 19.
Money Market.—Our business and money affairs are
upon an easy footing.
The intelligence last week from California, by the
way of the Isthmus, and the receipt of considerable
sums In gold dust, coming upon a market previously
overstocked with unemployed capital, had the effect of
carrying up the prices of United States Stocks and
Treasury notes very high.
Treasury notes bearing six per cent. interest, which
were selling at the departure of the last steamer for 1141,
brought on Friday last 1171; and although they have
since receded somewhat after so great and sudden a rise,
they were sold to-day at 116. In like manner United
States Sixes of '67, which were at 1141 on Tuesday,
brought on Friday 1161.
To-day the quotations are not so high, but denote a
very considerable rise since the preceding steamer. The
fancy stocks partake measurably, but in no great extent
of this rise.

Bills of exchange on Enand are dull to-day. The
rates asked are 109 to 109k,-but there is-not much doing;
efottinerdel&szeakaagee still lea...
...-.•
Cotton—the sales, of the day amount to 1,000 bale's,
without change in price, making since the 13th instant
(the date per Niagara) 2 750 bales. With rapidly di-
minishing stocks on this side and the uncertainty regard-
ing the growing crop, our friends abroad need not be
surprised at the indifference with which their dull ac-
' counts are received.
Since the departure of the steamer Niagara, there
has been a moderate business done in flour, chiefly from
the home trade, without any material change in prices.
The export demand is chic fly confined partly to lower
grades of uninspected and fine, which sell at 4 doll, to
4 doll. 121 c. per barrel.
The common and state' may be quoted at 4 doll. 50c.
to 4 doll. 564 c., and the straight and better brands at
4 dolls. 62ie. to 4 doll. 75e. Southern kinds are scarce,
and held with sales at 4 doll. 94c. to 5 doll. for Baltimore,
Georgetown, Brandywine, 840.
Rye flour is in demand, at 3 doll.
There is a demand for the best samples of wheat—
Ohio mixed selling at 102 to 108, and white Gennessee
126 to 130 per 601 b.
Freights to Liverpool—Cotton is taken at 1 per bale;
corn, 6d.; {bur, ls. 6d. to ls. 81.
To Havre—Cotton is nominally a to per lb.
To London--Naval stores, 2s. to 2s. 6d.; lard, 278.

LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 2, 1849.

The enemies of the existing religious institutions,
and those who desire the abolition of the House of
Lords, could not have selected any circumstance so
well calculated to further the realisation of their
desires as that which the Lords themselves have
created by endeavouring to annul the rights and
privileges of the other branch of the Legislature to
admit as Members of that branch whomsoever they
deem Members, and have declared to be eligible to
sit, and by endeavouring to annul the rights and
privileges of the constituencies of England to choose
their own representatives ; for the rights of all the
electoral bodies in the Queendom are wantonly vio-
lated by this act of a majority in the House of Lords
interdicting the admission of Baron ROTHSCHILD into
the House of Commons. _

What does the infatuated act amount to but this ?
" You, the Lower House,' must understand that
you are lowly, that you sit there only by our per-
mission ; that we, the House of Peers, claim the
right to keep the upper hand, and that no person

shall be a Member of your House except with our
concurrence, which must be first obtained." And to
the electoral bodies it amounts to this :—" If, notwith-
standing the influence which we exercise in every
county, city, and borough in the island, enabling us
in many instances to return our sons and nominees,
as the nominal Members of the constituency, yet in
the few places where something more nearly resem-
bling freedom of choice exists, if you shall dare to
elect a person whom we disapprove he shall not be
permitted to take his seat. You may elect certainly,
but you shall elect only such persons as we approve."
Well, if this is to be the practice and to be quietly
acquiesced in, the Constitution is at an end, and in-
stead of living under the boasted system of three
estates, QUEEN, Lords, and Commons, we live under
a simple oligarchy; elections may be abandoned alto-
gether in future as a mere mockery, and if there is
any use whatever in a Lower House let the Members
of it be nominated by the House of Lords, each
Noble Lord exercising the privilege of appointing a
number, proportioned according to the antiquity of
his title, or according to his capacity in length,
breadth, and thickness, say by the length of his purse,
the breadth of his acres, and the thickness of his skull,
or for any other equally good reason.
Strange, indeed, at a time when all the old insti-
tutions of Europe are crumbling to dust, when
hereditary legislators are abolished in all the conti-
nental states, that our hereditary legislators, the last
remaining—we will not say;the last rose of summer;
some might designate them the last of the Goths,
the last of the Vandals, or the last of the Mohicans—
we will merely say the last relics of [a bygone state
of society, thus provoke a contest which, however
unruffled the surface at present, can end only in de-
termining whether the people of England or the Lords
of England are the mightier—and there is not much
difficulty in predicting which of the two must yield.
If the Lords had desired to undergo a defeat the
most signal they could not possibly have pitched
upon a question involving more circumstances
dis-
advantage of
to themselves and giving striking
advantages to the popular cause. First, we see it
bringsthe
people them intoeopleinth
breach of privilege. It is a questi
House,on of
seekinternala
at
arrangement only. " We, the Lower
tointerfere with the arrangements of 3 ou, the Upper
House; if new Peers descend, or are created by any other
mode than a descent, such as ascent, we have never
interfered with such iutromission of new blood, but
we are now in an altered relationship : you interdict
our Members from taking their seats ; we shall not
be long content with acting on the defensive, we
shall act on the offensive. Since you attempt to eject
us, we shall attempt to eject you, and we shall see
who is the stronger." Such would be the course of
events that a contest would necessarily assume if
prolonged by the stubbornness of the Peers.
But, say the Noble Lords, it is a religious question,
and then the bigots, the hypocrites, and the saints
begin to whine. But let us accept it as a religious
question, as one vitally affecting the principles of
religious liberty; and has not every sect and every
denomination of Christians, every believer and every
unbeliever, a deep personal interest in the admission
of Baron ROTHSCIIILD ? Once let the Bishop of
EXETER and his clique have the power of determining
upon the true faith—let them decide who
only is the real Simon Pure—let them preach from
the text that " The saints shall inherit the earth,"
and let them have the power of saying who are
saints and who are Christians, and it is easy to see
that excommunication would extend far beyond
ejecting the Hon: Member for London. They would
doubtless pronounce that Mr. KERSHAW should be
expelled from the House of Commons, because he is
a Congregationalist ; that Mr. BROTHERTON should
be expelled, because he is a Southcottarian ; that Mr.
PETO should not be permitted to sit, because he is a
Baptist; Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, because he is a Roman
Catholic ; Mr. BRIGHT, because he is a member of
the Society of Friends; Mr. HEYWOOD, because he
is an Unitarian ; nor Mr. W. J. Fox, because, though
he swears on the truth of a Christian, none of the
Christian sects recognize him as one of their body,
and he publicly teaches opinions differing from the
reputed uitilodoxy more tnau even do the Unitarians.
Thus the electors of Stockport, of Salford, of Norwich,
of Limerick, of Manchester, of North Lancashire,
of Oldham, have common cause with the electors of
the city of London ; and, indeed, what constituency
is not interested in the question ? For if the
House of Lords may set aside the. elections as
being unsatisfactory to them on religious, they
may claim to set them aside on political grounds, and
even if they restrict their vote to religious disqualifi-
cation, Hon. Members who belong to the Church of
England, as well as those who belong to the Churches
of Rome and Scotland, and the Dissenting Churches,
are equally interested in resisting the veto, because
numerous recent events show that the Bishop of
EXETER and his party would anathmatize and ex-
communicate the heterodox members of their own
Church, treating as heterodox the majority of the
Church as much so as they do the Honourable Mem-
ber of the Church of Jerusalem.

A Sunday paper which always espouses the cause
of the bigots, vindicating the course adopted by
the House of Lords, says—
" To suffer the Jews to dwell in the land, and to trade
in it unmolested, notwithstanding the blasphemous cha-
racter of their creed, is the utmost indulgence which a
Christian Legislature can be expected to show, or they
themselves can reasonably demand."
But if an opinion prevails that even this privilege
exists, it is a mistake. It is little more than a fort-
night since that a Jew, or a person holding some
opinions upun Sabbath observance in common with
the Jews, underwent the ignominious punishment of
being placed in the stocks for two hours, for follow-
ing his peaceable trade or occupation in conformity
with what the Jews hold to be one of the sacred laws
of Gor, a law which, strange to say, is inscribed over
the holy altar or communion-table of almost all our
churches in England, and thus held up to public
veneration at the very time when the unfortunate
Jew or other individual is placed in the pillory or

the stocks by the human law for his faithful obedience
to what he considers to be the Divine law.

We copy the following account of the occurrence
from the Lincolnshire Advertiser of the 23d ultimo:—
" THE SEVENTH CONMANDMENT.—A person named
Dickenson, in this town, Boston, underwent the punish-
ment of being placed in the stock.; for two hours on
Friday, the 15th instant, because his notions of Sabbath
observance differ from those of some of his neighbours.
ne had been guilty of the heinous offence of shaving
his neighbour on a Sunday morning, for which he was
condemned to pay the penalty of five shillings I Like
the church-rate martyrs who go to prison for
conscience-sake, Dickenson steadfastly refused to
pay the amount, so as his Christian brothers could
not obtain it from his purse, they compelled him
to pay in person. One of them, in communicating the
fact to a local paper, says that the degradation and suf-
fering to which the poor man was exposed, afforded them
' considerable amusement.' There were large numbers,
however, to whom his sufferings afforded no amusement,
but who, on the contrary, sympathised with the perse-
cuted individual; they stood by him in his hour of peril,
and raised a small subscription for the martyr."
All this occurred in a country where we boast of
civil and religious liberty. It did not take place in
the dark, in a corner, or even in a small country vil-
lage, where the parson-magistrate and the squire have
. _

... .
the administration of the law. It was in broad

daylight, and in the principal seaport town of
the largest county in England, except York-
shire. If this be the law, the wonder may be that
in such a town magistrates can be found to demean
themselves in being its administrators.
It is obvious that here is a manifest infringement
of the permission of the Jews to dwell unmolested in
the land, and follow their trade or occupation. If lie
abstains from labour on the seventh day of the week
in conformity with the fourth commandment,
he has obeyed what he considers the Divine
law. You may tell him he should respect
the Christian Sabbath also, but that Divine
law not only tells him to keep holy the Sabbath-day,
but says, " Six days shalt thou labour." This one
command is as emphatic as the others, but if lie is to
keep holy the first day in the week as well as the
seventh, he violates this command to labour six days •
besides that to prevent his working is a confiscation
of one-sixth, or a proportion equal to nearly seventeen
per cent. of his labour.
DICKENSON may or may not have been a Jew, but
it is perfectly clear that his case is precisely that of
the Jews, and that the question of civil and reli-
gious liberty, the rights of the House of Commons,
the rights of the citizens of London, and ths
rights of the electoral body throughout the island,

Her MAJESTY'S proposed visit to Ireland will, we
doubt not, create very general satisfaction on both
sides of St. George's Channel, and it will, in all pro-
bability, be productive of the happiest consequences.
It is true that the visit of a Sovereign to any part of
her own dominions cannot be regarded as a political
event, nevertheless, under the peculiar circumstances
of the present case, calling to mind the many griev-
ances and heartburnings mutually inflicted and suf-
fered by Englishmen and Irishmen, we would fain
recognise in this movement of their common SOVE-
REIGN the omen of a happier state of things. When,
some years back, QUEEN VICTORIA visited KING
LOUIS-PIIILIPPE at the Chateau d'Eu, all the world
rejoiced in such a significant pledge of good under-
standing between two great nations. But if the
friendship of foreign countries be a subject of satis-
faction—if Mr. COBDEN and the Peace Congress are
right in yearning for the advent of that auspicious
time when
" No more shall nation against nation rise,
Nor ardent warriors meet with hateful eyes."

how much more satisfactory, and how much more
desirable is the absence of all dissension among the
subjects of our SOVEREIGN ! It is well to extend the
hand of fellowship to the stranger, but much more
' good it is for brethren to dwell together in
unity." The forgetfulness or the neglect of this
very important truth is the root of much of the mu-
tual grievances of England and Ireland. The inha-
bitants of both kingdoms seem too much to lose sight
of their mutual relationship and their mutual depend-
ence. They speak and act as though their interests
were divided, and their united prosperity incompatible.
The Irish patriot pours forth a tirade of eloquent in-
dignation against the usurpation and injustice of the
"Saxon." He tells you that the wealth of Ireland,
drained from her starving population by the absentee
landlords, goes to swell the treasures of her rich neigh-
bour ; that in place of the national Parliament which
they desire, the Irish people are forced to submit to
the laws of a foreign Legislature, and compelled to
support a Church to which they do not belong, &c.,
&c. (It would be almost impossible to give a sum-
mary of the grievances, real or imaginary, which
swell the list of the Irish agitator.) On the
other hand, the English philosopher shakes his head
sadly and despondingly while he dilates on the
errors and enormities of the irreclaimable set beyond
the Channel. He expatiates on Irish idleness and
ingratitude. He points to the fertile lands which
lie waste for want of culture, and to the starving
beggars who die of want rather than live by work.
He extols the generosity with which England poured
forth her charity to r.l;eve the horrors of the Irish
famine, and then he bitterly animadverts on the in..
gratitude with which that same generosity has been
repaid. But why should we pursue the intolerable
catalogue ? The same st ain, with infinite varieties,
has been dinned into our ears risque ad nauseam.
English injustice and Irish iniquity are become more
wearisome than a thrice-told tale. Let us hope we
have heard the last of both. With the visit of her
MAJESTY to Dublin we look for the commencement
of that " good time," as far as regards the mutual
relationship of the sister countries, which has been
so very long in " coming." The alteration to be
lasting must be mutual. The English people and the
British Parliament, following the example of the
SOVEREIGN, must bear in mind that Ireland also is
an integral portion of the empire. Queen-VICTORIA,
by her visit to Dublin, shows that she feels herself
the Queen of Ireland as well as the Queen of Eng-
land, and, in like manner, the Parliament assembled
at Westminster must evince by their acts that (no
matter the spot in which they hold their sittings)
they are the representatives of the people of the
whole United Kingdom, from Cork to Antrim, as
well as from the Land's End to John G'Groat's.
On the other hand, we feel assured, 'without
the smallest shadow of a misgiving, that
the generous and warm-hearted Irish people—and,
whatever faults may be laid to their charge, all admit
that they are a generous and warm-hearted people—
will receive her MAJESTY with an enthusiasm and
devotion which will make her ask, with astonishment,
if it is possible that she had ever been told the Irish
were rebels, or that any Minister had ever hesitated
in counsellieg her to visit one of the most beautiful
portions of her dominions, inhabited by so loyal and
affectionate a people.

CABINET COUNCIL.—(Tms DAY.)--The Members
of the Cabinet, except the Lord Chancellor, assembled
at the Foreign-office to-day, at one o'clock. The
Noble Premier came from Pembroke Lodge to attend
the Council, and Earl Grey from his villa at Datchet.
DEPARTURE OF HER MAJESTY AND THE COURT
FROM TOWN FOR THE SEAsoN.—The Queen and
Prince Albert, accompanied by their Royal High-
nesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal,
Prince Alfred, and the Princesses Helena, Louise,
and Alice, and attended by the Countess of Mount
Edgecumbe, Lady-in-Waiting, the Hon. Colonel C.
13. Phippi, and the royal retinue, including the Rev.
Mr. Birch and Mi.s3llyard, Preceptor and Precep-
tress of the royal children, left Buckingham Palace
this attemevn., five carries and four, for the Nine
Elms station of the South-Western Railway, escorted
by a party of the 11th Hussars. The royal party
proceeded by special train, under charge of Mr.
Stovin, to Gosport, where they embarked on board
the Fairy Royal steam-tender, for East Co% es, and
thence to Osborne. Her Majesty is expected to re-
turn to town early in the ensuing month, to prorogue
Parliament in person.

MAZZINI, TILE ROMAN TRIUMVIL—We give the
following interesting account of one of the most re-
markable men in our times, from the Inverness
Advertiser :—" In the mingled moderation and dignity
the high and unswerving resolution which
have characterised the councils and proceedings
—and in the eloquence and cogency of argument
and statement, which have marked the manifestoes and
other formal documents of the Roman Triumvirate, may
be traced the hand, and the presiding genius of the Tri-
umvir, Joseph Mazzini, who is unquestionably the man of
the crisis,and a greater or a worthier than whom old Rome
lever produced in her hours of peril. This gentleman is the
same whose correspondence was so basely tampered with
some years ago, by Sir James Graham—when, in for-
getfulness alike of his character of a British Minister
and the honour of an English gentleman, he stooped
to become the instrument of the vile espionage
of Austria and the Pope ; and thus added a
new descriptive phrase to the English language,
not likely soon to die out, the Grahaming of letters.'
During many years of exile Mr. Mazzini was a resi-
dent in the British metropolis, enjoying the respect
and esteem of all who knew him, and supporting
himself by his contributions to the leading periodi-
cals and journals. By his industry and ability, be
not only earned an honourable independence, but we s
helpful to many of his less fortunate countrymen;
and the unwearied zeal and labour which he evinced
in behalf of the schools established for the benefit
of the crowd of outcast Italian boys brought over to
London, will r. *t soon be forgotten. Very shortly
before be was summoned from these peaceful and
boneficent labours, to play so distinguished a pat t
in the great drama of Italian affairs, ho contri-
butedstill remembered for their
singulaar erroiewserof
anpdapejrus'stness of view, to Lowe's
Edinburgh Magazine (then under the management f
the present writer), under the tiCe of The Pope and the
Italian Question: It is interesting now to look beck
upon them, and note the accuracy with which all his
leading predictions have been verified. If only permitted
to work out his plans, much might be hoped for as
future of Rome."

"FROM 21ST to 22D.—Monsieur le Ministre,—On
the 21st it was thought that the breaches in front of the
place of attack was sufficiently advanced that the assault
might be made in the evening. Every arrangement
was made to secure the success of this important opera-
tion.

"It had been decided that the two bastions should
be closed at their gorge by gabions, and that the breach
of the curtain, flanked by the crown of the bastions,
should remain free to allow the entry of the reserves.
" At eleven o'clock at night the signal for the assault
was given; the operation was executed agreeably to
previous arrangements. It completely succeeded; a spe-
cial report contains all the details.
" The top of the bastions, and particularly of No. 6,
slopes towards the city, which it commands entirely.
In the day three batteries prepared by the enemy threw
projectiles on the works of the night, and forced the
workmen of bastion C to retire; the guard of the trenches
alone remained during the night. The enemy returned
to a house in which 46 prisoners had been made at the
moment of the assault; but they were immediately driven
out again. The day was occupied in consolidating the
establishment in the bastions.

" The old battery, No. 2, on the right of the parallel,
is again putin a state to reply to the fires of the enemy's
batteries places at Saint Alexis and on Mout Testaccio.
The latter, since the disarmament of battery No. 2, dis-
turbing the interior of the trenches, particularly in the
neighbourhood of the breaches. The platforms and the
epaulement of battery No. 10 were repaired during the
night.
" FROM THE 22D to THE 23n.—The night has been
employed in consolidating our position in bastions 6
and 7. During the day the parapets of the trenches
were actively fired on by the enemies artillery.
Covered communications were opened in the rear of
the trenches, and a new approach commenced on the
left, which, starting from the Villa Corsini, closes in
bastion 8, the gorge of which, defended by a numerous
artilery, is difficult of access from the interior of the
place. This approach is to be united to the salient point
of the imam.
" From the top of the breach of the curtain
can be perfectly seen, and battered advantageously-1.
The battery of S. Pietroin Montorio, which so much
annoyed by its fire the establishment on the breaches.
—2. The first Aurelian entrenchment. —3. The entire
city of Rome.
" This position is important to be occupied. We
commenced in the night the establishment of a battery
for two 16 and two 2,l•pounders, which will be desig-
nated as No. 11. In order to have the guns at a suffi-
cient height to produce a good effect, it was necessary
to form a high embankment.
" At daylight the embrasures which had been com-
pleted remained masked, and the construction of the
platforms and the getting up the guns was proceeded
with., At eight o'clock tit. enemy unmasked a new
battery on the left, which commanded our' works ob-
liquely. On the right the position of Alexis was aban-
doned. The enemy has carried his guns more in the
rear on a point out of sight of the embrasures of battery
No. 2. It was necessary to form a defence on both sides
by bags of earth, and the armament of the battery was
retarded.

" Some foot chasseurs established themselves i❑ the
breach of bastion 7. Their fire directed on the newly-
opened battery of the enemy drove them from the em-
brasure, but the enemy removed their guns behind the
flank of bastion 8, and were thus able to continue their
fire, which was, however, less dangerous for our battery
No. 11.
"It appears that the enemy's artillery were taken
along the Aurelian entrenchments, choosing is positions
and changing them as they found themselves annoyed
by the fire of the chasseurs.
" At noon it was discovered that the embankment of
battery 11 was not sufficiently solid, and that in spite of
every precaution taken it was feared, that from the firing
of the guns a fall of the earth might take place. Some
additional strengthening was necessary. These different
repairs delayed the opening of the fire of battery 11.
"The mortar battery has directed its fire on the left
flank of bastion 8, the last position of the enemy's artil-
lery. A certain number of shells fell with great preci-
sion on that point, where was also situated a house,
called the House of Garibaldi, and doubtless also the in-
terior defence of the San Panclarec gate. Battery 10
sought to disturb the enemy in its fire on the breaches;
its fire from the guns on the left were also directed
against the left face of bastion 9, and from the effect
produced we were led to believe, that that part of the
fortification was not very strong.

" The casualties during the two days may be approxi•
matively estimated at 20 killed and 60 wounded. Among
the killed are Captains de Jouslard, of the engineers;
Bouvier, of the 32d; and d'Astelet, of the ,36th of the
line. Captain Cumuzet and Lieutenant d'Hugues of the
36th were among the wounded.

A prosecution by M. CHARLES LAGRANGE, the re-
presentative, against M. de CRUGY, responsible
editor of the Courrier de la Gironde, for a libel,
published in that journal of the 27th January last,
was brought to trial yesterday, before the Court of
Assizes of the Seine. M. CRUGY made default, and
the Advocate-General, M. MEYNARD LE FRANC, hav-

judgment. The article incriminated contained the

The Mayor of Lyons has published a letter, declar-

soldiers of the garrison having been assassinated
are entirely untrue not a single act of the

circumstance of their appearing in the semi-official
journals of the Ministry in such a man ner as to give
them the appearance of authorized communications.
They have served their purpose—they appeared during
the trial of Captain KLELIER, whilst the contradiction

A letter from Gotha, of the 22d, gives some details
of what is taking place in that town. It was on
that day that the conferences of the old members
of the Gagern party in the ex-Parliament of Frank-
fort was to open. On the 24th MM. BECKERETH,
MEVISSEN, STEDTMANN, BURGERS, WURM, and DE
lIAMBOURG arrived there, and were to be followed by
several others. MM. lIANs RAUMaR from Frederica,
STEINDORFF from Schleswig,ROSELEß from Vienna,
MAROWIESRA from Cracow, &c., were expected. The
serious question of the publicity of the sittings would
be discussed in the first meeting. The deputies from
Schleswig and their adherents were discouraged, in
consequence of the Government Bill not making any
mention of their province, and even disposed to vote
against publicity. This meeting, in which the mem-
bers of the Right and Centre, and it is said, even
