THE L ADIE S.
T TOhe powerful Influence of the sun on the skin at this period
of the year calls for increased attention in preserving its delicacy and
beauty. The most pleasing and effectual specific for this desirable
object is
R 0 W L AND 5' IC AL TDOR,
so deservedly established in Royal and Public favour and estimation.
Its application neutralizes the effects of atmosphere, and Induces
that healthy action of the microscopic vessels of the skin, by which
its delicacy and beauty are so essentially promoted. Freckles, Tan,
Spots, Pimples, and Discolorations fly before the application of the
KALYDOR, and give place to a healthy smoothness and transpa-
rency of complexion. Ladies travelling or taking out-door exercise
will find it to diffuse a grateful and refreshing feeling. In cases of
Sunburn, or Stings of Insects, its virtues have long been acknow-
ledged. Price 4s. 6d. and 8s 6d. per Bottle.

BRITISH. ASSOCIATION FOR THE
ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.
BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY.—Last night a numerous
assembla?e took place at the Town Hall, for the pur-
pose of hearing a lecture by the Rev. Professor
Willis, upon the applicability of mechanical science
to railways. The lecture was purely scientific, and
elucidated by experiments. At the close of the meet-
ing, on the motion of Lord Wrothesley, the thanks
of the company were carried by acclamation to the
reverend lecturer. This morning the section-rooms
were opened at eleven o'clock, when a great number
of papers were announced for reading, and in the course
of the day,
Mr. PORTER, in reference to his subject, " State-
ment of prices and wages in each year from 1842 to
1849," said it was felt to be an inquiry of the
deepest interest to all to know whether the legislative
measure had been productive of any, and what, result
to the great bulk of the community. To begin, then,
with what was called the staff of life, and the price
of which was a thing of the very first importance to
all who depend upon daily and weekly wages. The
four-pound loaf of bread sold in the bakors' shops in
London had been, in the month of July of each year,
from 1842 to 1849-1842, 9. d. ; 1843, 70.; 1844,
B}d.: 1845, 70.; 1846, 811.; 1847, 110.; 184$,
; 1849, 7d. Now, when it was considered that
from one-half to three fourths of the expenditure of
the most numerous class of the people was for that
one article, it could not be held of light importance
that a saving of twenty-five per cent. =a made in
its cost. Such a saving to the family of a working
man consisting of himself, his wife, and
four children, could hardly be less than
2s. per week, which was too often a very
considerable proportion of- the man's earnings, so
that it would greatly depend upon that bead of ex-
penditure whether or not he and his family were able
to provide themselves with decent clothing, and with
other matters, which, although perhaps not absolutely.
necessary to the support of life were yet most im-
portant towards the comfort and contentment of the
family. The price of meat was unfortunately not a
matter of such universal interest as the cost of bread,
and it was to be feared, that even in ordinarily pros-
perous times there were very many of our fellow-
subjects who were forced to forego its use. The
prices, as quoted in the accounts of markets cannot
be taken as the prices actually paid for retail pur-
chases by the working man, but they would govern
the retail prices, and were as follows :—For prime
beef and South-down mutton at Smithfield in the
month of June in each year, 1842 to 1849.—Beef,
in 1842, 4s. Bd. ; 1843, 3s. 101 d. ; 1844, 3s. 80. ;
18-15, 4s. 4d.; 1846, 3s. ; 1847, ss. 61; 1848,
3s. 101 ; 1849, 3s, sd. Mutton, during the same
period, was from 4s. 3d. to 4s. 2d. Mr. Porter then
glided the price of all other articles of food used
by the working men and their families and the
cost of their clothing, and proceeded to say,
In the course of inquiries made among London
tradesmen, it was stated, that, as respected cheese,
the working classes seldom or never bought it by
%eeight, but applied at the shop for sixpennyworth, or
whatever sum there was to be laid out, the dearness
or cheapness of the article affecting the quantity that
they receive for their money. Another fact was
ascertained from the proprietor of a large establish-
ment for the sale of linen, woollen haberdashery, &c.
The working man or woman was accustomed to pay
certain prices for certain articles, and does not vary
the outlay with the varying markets, but purchase a
3s. or ss. hat or bonnet for so much. The benefit of
cheapness reached them in the quality of their pur-
chases ; and, as the tendency had, for many years,
been towards lessened prices, they now saw, at least,
such was the case in London, that the working
classes were better clad than formerly. He had also
learned from a person who gave employment
to 1,200 people, men and women, in making
up clothes, that, taking one article with another,
the materials and their cost were not more
than one-half what they had cost at the close of
the war in 1815 ; and since 1834 there had been
a further reduction in the cost of all such articles. It
was impossible to over-estimate the importance of
the subject to which he had called their attention.
So long as in any country the whole earnings of the
labouring classes were required to procure for them
the bare necessaries of life, they must look in vain for
any advancement in the social and moral condition of
the people. On the other hand, if their earnings were
habitually found sufficient not merely to sustain life,
but to provide for themselves and their families its
decencies and some of its comforts, they would not
willingly fall back in the scale of society, but rather
would strive to go forward. Their intelligence being
cultivated, their labour would be rendered more pro-
ductive, and of necessity would be better remune-
rated, thus enabling them to make further progress
in the social scale, and to provide the means of
still greater advancement for those who may succeed
them. Mr. Porter then read over a great number
of tables, setting forth the rate of wages paid
weekly to the factory hands in full employment in
Manchester during the years of depression, from 1844 to
1849, and from which it appeared that in one of the
best mills in the card-rooms males were paid in 1844,
I.Bs. 60. per week. In 1849, 12s. In one of the
ironworks of South Wales the colliers were paid, in
1844, 135.; in 1849, 14s. 3d.; miners in 1844,
10s. 7d ; in 1849, I Os. 9d.; labourers in 1844, 11 s. ;
the same in 1849 ; founders in 1844, 235. 9d.; in
1849, 30s. 4d.; felters in 1844, 225.; in 1849,
305. 4d.; refiners in 1844, 375. Bd.; in 1849, 393.6 d.
In Staffordshire wages are higher. Pudlers in 1844
earned 6s. per day; in 1846 and 1847, Bs. per day;
and in 1849, ss. 6d.
Several gentlemen, including Mr. Joseph Sturge,
Mr. Saunders, &c., spoke of the necessity of increas-
ing the wages of the working men as the only means
of really improving their condition.
Mr. DANSON read a paper on the progress of emi-
gration from the United Kingdom during the last
thirty years, in relation to the growth of the popula-
tion during the same period. The first complete
census of the three kingdoms (in 1821) gave as the
total population 21,193,000. In 1831 the number re-
turned was 24,306;000, showing an increase of
3,113,000 in ten years. During the ten years, 1821
—3l, the total number of emigrants from the United
Kingdom was only 291,070. In the ten years, 1831
—4l, the number was 738,582. And in the seven
years, 1842-48 inclusive, the number was no less
than 985,953. And, according to the latest complete
returns obtained by the Emigration Commissioners
(down to the 30th of June last), the number of emi-
grants in the first half of 1849 was no less than
196,973. Hence it appeared that the emigration
from the United Kingdom, during the last three
years, was fully equal to, if it did not exceed, the
natural increase of the population ; and, in short, that
emigration has now been carried to such an extent
as, if it were maintained, must effectually prevent
the further growth of the population. The paper
excited much interest, and was illustrated by a
diagram, which exhibited in a striking manner its
general effect.
In the course of the day interesting experiments
were made at the Canal Company's reservoir by Mr.
Carter, with his celebrated sea•service rocket appa-
ratus. There was a considerable number of spec-
tators present, and the results were most satisfactory.
BIRMINGHAM, SEPT. 19.—The concluding general
meeting of the members of the association was held in
the Town-hall this afternoon. At a meeting of the
committee, held in King Edward's School in the
morning, Lord Dunfermline was elected a Vice-
President. In the organ gallery of the Town-hall
this afternoon were Professor Robinson (the Presi-
dent), Prince Canino, ord Wrottesley, Sir R. J.
Murchison, the Dean of Westminster, the Marquis of
Northampton, and other distinguished members of the
association.
Colonel SABINE, the general secretary , proceeded
to read a long list of recommendations by the general
committee, which were duly adopted.
Professor PHILLIPS, the assistant-secretary, next
read a short report, from which it appeared that du-
ring the present meeting of the association there had
been present old life members, 277; old annual, 94;
new life members, 11 ; new annual, 32 ; associates,
439 ; ladies, 237 ; and foreigners who had arrived by
railway, 32—total, 1,122 persons, from whom had
been received 951/. ss. 9d. These numbers had only
been exceeded twice at any meeting of the association
which had been held since they assembled in Bir-
mingham ten years ago.
The PRESIDENT, in an eloquent address, expressed
the thanks of the association to the Mayor and various
local authorities of Birmingham. The meeting had
been eminently successful.
Sir R. J. MURCHISON moved a vote of thanks to
the President, which was seconded by the Mayor of
Birmingham and carried unanimously.
The meeting was afterwards addressed by Lord
Wrottesley, Dr. Buckland (the Dean of Westminsier),
and, finally, the meeting of the association for 1849
dissolved between five and six o'clock.

CITY of LONDON REGISTRATION.
On Tuesday- morning the court was opened at ten
o'clock, when the revision of the Livery lists was pro-
ceeded with. The only case which presented any
feature of interest was the following. In the list of
the Skinners' Company the name of a voter was
entered as " Michael Turnell, 13, Argyll-street, New.
road," and the beadle of the company informed the
Court that there was a clerical error in this descrip-
tion. There was no such person as Michael Turnell
attached to the company. The name of the party
intended to be described was Michael Turner, as
stated in the printed lists of the company.
Mr. Browne objected to the vote of Michael Tur-
ner, on the ground that he lived at St. Leon trd's, and
not within seven miles of the city of London.
Mr. M'CunisTlE said the only list which the Act
of Parliament empowered him to recognise was the
written document signed by the clerk of the com-
pany, and he was not justified in altering the name
from " Turnell" (as it appeared in the list before
him) to "Turner," (as described in the printed list).
Mr. Browne's objection, therefore, to the vote of
Michael Turner was untenable, as there was no such
name on the list which had been submitted to the
Court.
Mr. Browne said he had objected to Michael
Turner—the name which appeared in the list printed
by authority of the Act of Parliament. He therefore
begged the Court, under the sanction of the interpre-
tation clause, not to evade the operation of the Act
by retaining a name which ought not to have been
placed on the list.
Mr. S. Smith contended that the objection was to
Michael Turner, and as there was no such person on
the list before the Court, the objection could not be
maintained. The only list by which the .barrister
could be guided was that signed by the clerk, and
furnished by the secondary, according to the Act of
Parliament.
Mr. Browne replied that the effect of this argu-
ment was to put him out of court, not because his
objection was invalid, but because the list furnished
to the court was incorrect. He (Mr. Browne) had
taken the name as it appeared in the printed list, and
the beadle of the company had stated that the list
before the Court contained a clerical error with regard
to this name. On these grounds he submitted that
his objection was one which ought to be allowed.
Mr. Smith said that Mr. Browne ought to rest
satisfied, inasmuch as he had objected to " Michael
Turner," and that name would not appear on the
list.—(A. laugh.)
Mr. M'CnaisTin said that as the name appeared
as Michael Turnell in the only list he could recognise
he was bound to retain that name. The objection
therefore fell to the ground.
The revision of the Livery lists having been con-
cluded, the Court proceeded with the Ward lists.
ALDERSGATE WARD.
Donald M'Gregor claimed a right to vote by reason
of the occupation of premises No. 42, Noble.street, in
the parish of St. Anne and St. Agnes. The clerk of
the parish had stated that the number ought to have
been 43. He knew the claimant resided there, and
had paid his rates iii respect of that house.
Mr. Browne said he had objected to the claim of
Donald M‘Gregor on the ground that no such person
resided at No. 42. He now contended that the court
ought not to admit the claim in the absence of the
claimant, and in the absence of evidence to show that
he resided at No. 43. There was no legal proof before
the Court as to Mr- M`Gregor's qualification, and he
protested against the admission of claims in such a
loose manner.
Mr. Smith submitted that upon the evidence of the
clerk the claim ought to be allowed.
Mr. M'Cnatsrin said this was simply a case of
claim, and he could not hear the objection until
afterwards. The name was in the printed list for
No. 42, and the voter finding that to be a mistake had
given notice that he wished to have it corrected, ac.
cording to the Act of Parliament. It appeared that
the party had resided at No. 43 for some time, and
had paid all his rates and taxes for that house. The
witness had proved everything that was necessary to
establish the claim, and it must therefore be allowed in
respect of " No. 43."
The following is the result of the revision of the
Livery lists :

The revision of the lists of voters in the several

day by Mr. T. Y. IVl`Christie, the barrister appointed
for that purpose, in the Court of Common Pleas,
Guildhall. Mr. Sidney Smith and Mr. Ledger re-
presented the Libe.-al interest, and Mr. Samuel Brown
appeared on the part of the Conservatives.
QUALTFICATION OF TENANTS.
Mr. John Getting, the occupier of a counting-house
at 46, Lime-street, in the ward of Aldgate and Bil-
lingsgate, appeared in support of his claim to be
placed upon the register, against an objection taken
by the Liberals, upon the ground that he was in the
position of a lodger, not having such a full command
of the premises as is required by the 27th section of
the Act William IV., c. 45, which describes the qua-
lification for tenants.
It appeared from Mr. Getting's testimony, that the
counting-house, in. respect of which the vote was
claimed, formed part of a block of buildings, consist-
ing of two wings, with a gateway common to all the
tenants. Mrs. Dunmore, the landlady, lived upon
the premises, and also cleaned them, thus acting in
the double relation of owner and servant ; and at
night she closed the gateway, and kept the key, after
which no one could. gain admittance except by:ringing
a bell. Mr. Getting, however, had a separate bell,
and it appeared that the entrance to his counting-
house, although from the street it was through the
gateway, was altogether distiuct and independent from
those of the other tenants.
The BARRISTER said that, under these circum-
stances, there was 310 ground for the objection, and
he awarded 20s. cost against the objectors.
Mr. Ledger rather warmly remonstrated against
this decision as far as regarded the costs, urging that
in 1847 the court had taken a contrary view. He
trusted, at all events, that it would be suspended until
the question had been argued, as the objection had
been taken with that view, and there were several
other cases in which the same point arose.
The BARRISTER intimated his willingness to take
his course.

A number of minor cases having been disposed of,
Mr. Walter Logan, also the occupier of a counting-
house at No. 46, Lime-street, was objected to by
Mr. Brown, on the ground of want of qualification,
under the 27th section.
In support of the claim, Mr. Smith called William
Adkins, who was examined as to the construction of
the premises; and who stated that those occupied by
Mr. Logan had a separate entrance, of which he had
the sole and exclusive control.
Mr. Brown submitted that this case came under
the rule laid down by the Common Pleas in "Fitch v.
Smedley," reported in Mr. Lutwyche's Registration
Cases. It was there held that where a person occu-
pied part of a building, which was at the same time
in the possession of the landlord, as this was—for the
landlady had free ingress and egress—he was merely
a lodger.
Mr. Smith, on the other side, contended that the
objection was untenable. Mr. Logan could maintain
an action of trespass against Mrs. Dunmore if sbe
entered his counting-house without his permission.
He relied upon the decision of the Common Pleas in
the case of "Jones v.',Luckett," reported in:Lutwyche's
Registration Cases, vol. ii., part 1, page 26, a case
exactly similar to the present.
Mr. Brown, in reply, dwelt upon the importance of
the right of way in this case. After the tenants left
at tight, they had no right of way. They could
only be admitted by leave of the landlady.
The BARRISTER—You make the right of way a
main point in the objection ?
Mr. Brown replied in the affirmative.
Mr. Smith observed that the Common Pleas, in
" Jones v. Lockett," attached no importance to the

point.
After an argument of considerable length,
The BARRISTER said the question was one of much
importance, and as there was some novelty in the cir-
cumstances, he would take time for consideration, and
deliver his decision on Monday.
The other cases heard during the day were desti-
tute of public interest, and the Court rose at a few
minutes to four o'clock.
The following is the result of the revision of the lisp
for Aldgate ward, which is now concluded :

THE HEALTH OF LONDON
DURING THE WEEK.
(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
The deaths registered in London in the week end-
ing Saturday, September 15, were 2,865; of which
1,682 were by cholera; making the aggregate num-
bers, since the commencement of the epidemic in
London, 12,8:37. The deaths from all causes in the
last six consecutive weeks were 1,909, 2,230, 2,456,
2,796, 3,183, 2,865. The numbers last week sensibly
decreased. On Sunday the inhabitants of these islands,
in the city and the country, in their cathedrals,
village churches, and chapels, assembled to entreat
God to stay the destroying plague; and, as if by
anticipation, it began to subside, so that the time was
most appropriate. Afrer they had been journeying
through the gloom, while the darkness grew thicker,
the terror greater, the strokes of mortality nearer and
everywhere uncertain, the light began to dawn, and
the prayer—half-supplication, half-thanksgiving—
rose of itself from the hearts of the people.
These great acts of religion are rarely performed in
England ; and whether the earnestness of the nation
or the truth of God is regarded, the prayer for health
has a much more serious import here than the cere-
.

monial rites of paganism in Persia, Greece, or Rome ;
yet there it would have been deemed impiety to ask
the increase or the earlier and later rains, unless the

land were tilled and the seed sown ; or to implore

victory for their arms, except through the valour of
well equipped armies. The prayer for the public
health in England is a solemn pledge, not only that
all the powers of the State, but that the local autho
rities, the clergy, the educated classes, who form and
govern opinion—all the multitudes who join in that
prayer, will employ the means which, with God's
blessing, will insure its accomplishment, and save the
people from the ravages of the cholera and other
epidemics.
Thousands of the houses of London have now no
pure water; in some places where the chOlera is most
fatal the inhabitants are driven to use the polluted
waters of tidal sewers for culinary and household
purposes. .This state of things will exist no longer;
the first engineers of the country will be employed
to lay the rivers under contribution, and in every
house there will be a spring of fresh, filtered, living
water; for circulating water is the life-blood of a

city.
The bodies of the dead, " sown in corruption,"
will be decently interred in distant grounds and sacred
groves, where their flesh may be resolved into its
elements, without tainting the air and destroying their
brothers.

The carnage of slaughtered animals will no longer
be suffered to infect the air of cities.

The sinks and sewers of London—black bubbling
lakes and rivers under ground—extending from the
Thames to the house-drains and cesspools, send up
damps into dwellings nightly, travel by us in the
streets daily, and through a thousand mouths by the
way and river side pour their poisonous incense on the
passengers for ever : these emanations, if not drawn
through and decomposed by fire, will no longer open
under our faces, but ascend with the smoke over the
houses ; and other matters be carried, solid or in
steams of water, over distant fields.
No city, perhaps, ever possessed such an efficient
body of medical men as are now practising in London.
During this epidemic they have performed services
which in any other field must have won the highest
honours; combating the disease night and day in the
most pestilential quarters, and that on much more
settled principles than the public might be led to sus-
pect from certain discussions at the medical societies.
And their office has been discharged with so much
kindness as to deserve the gratitude of the poor, in-
stead of drawing down on their heads the charges
with which the physicians of other countries have
often been assailed by the populace. Nearly all the
sick have been seen by these practitioners ; yet
12,837 persons have already died of cholera in London.
How is this ? The medical force will be found to
have been employed at an immense disadvantage. It
is called into action at the wrong end of the malady.
Inquiries prove that while medical advice is generally
sought in the characteristic stage, it is seldom ob-
tained in the premonitory stage, when the power of
medicine is decisive ; and to that earlier and still more
important period preceding the premonitory stage,
which is prevented as easily as cured, medical prac-
tice has had little or nothing to say. Cholera here
also only shows in high relief what exists in ordinary
circumstances. Medical men rarely if ever treat the
beginnings of diseases, and are scarcely ever consulted
professionally on the preservation of the health of
cities or families. The art of preserving health is
taught in no regular course of lectures at any of the
great schools of medicine in the United Kingdom.
Yet the classical sanitary works of Pringle, Lind,
Blane, Jackson, Johnson, and Martin have been framed
from observation in the British navy and army- In
the science of health there are more exact demon-
strable truths than in the science of disease ; and the
advantage of " prevention" over " cure" requires no
proof. In the Cyropcedia of Xenophon physicians
who only treat the sick are compared to " menders
of torn clothes," while the preservation of health
is declared a noble art, worthy of Cyrus him-
self. Vegetius espaks in similar, Jackson in
stronger terms, but perhaps unjustly ; for if it
is godlide to save many from suffering, and to carry
them in healthy life up to the natural term of existence,
it is a worthy occupation to rescue a few from the
arms of death, or incurable infirmity. But the pre-
servation and restoration of health are parts of one
science; and if, as has been done by London and
Liverpool, health-officers be appointed in all the dis-
tricts of the kingdom, the art of preserving health
will be studied by a high order of men well paid by
the public; and ultimately with an increase of
their remuneration—the diminution of sickness, the
disappearance of epidemics, immense advantage to
the public—the whole medical profession may devote
themselves to the preservation and development of the
vigour of the human faculties, instead of being tied
down to the treatment of the sick and dying. "And
this," Lord Bacon says, after his great survey of
learning, " we hope might redound to a general good,
if physicians would but exert themselves and raise
their minds above the sordid considerations of cure;
not deriving their honour from the necessities of tnan.
kind, but becoming ministers of Divine power and
goodness, both in prolonging and restoring the life of
man ; especially as this may be effected by safe, com-
modious, and not illiberal means, though hitherto
unattempted. And certainly it would be an earnest
of Divine favour if, while we are journeying to the
land of promise, our garments, those frail bodies of
ours, were not greatly to wear out in the wilderness
of this world."—llist. Vile et Mortis.

ADDRESS TO THE ARCHBISHOP
OF CAN TERBURY.
NATIONAL HUMILIATION.
The following address to the Archbiihop of Can-
terbury is in course of signature :
"My Lord,—We, the undersigned clergy of the
province of Canterbury, venture respectfully to re-
quest that your Grace will be pleased to authorise
the observance of a special day of humiliation and
prayer throughout the province, on account of cholera
in this country.
"We venture to approach your Grace with this
request, for the following reasons :
" First—Because upwards of 11,000 persona have
already fallen victims to this disease in the metropo-
lis and its suburbs, and a proportionate number in the
provinces.
" Secondly— Because we are firmly persuaded that,
although such n excessive mortality may be aggra-
vated by imperfect drainage and other local causes, it
can primarily be ascribed to nothing but the imme-
diate visitation of Divine Providence ; while we also
believe, on the authority of Holy Scripture, and our
own national experience, that we have no right to
expect to be relieved from this visitation until we
have humbled ourselves before the Throne of Grace,
and, as a nation, implored of God's mercy that we be
not utterly consumed.
" Thirdly—Because from the opportunities we
have of ascertaining the feelings of the laity on this
subject we are convinced that, although in particular
places days of special humiliation have already been
observed, the appointment of some general day by
your Grace is most earnestly desired, and would be
observed throughout the province with remarkable
strictness and solemnity.

" We have, &c."
Signatures will be received until after Tuesday
next, by Messrs. Rivington, St. Paul's Churchyard
and Waterloo-place; Messrs. Hatchard, 187, Picca-
dilly ; and Mr. Masters, 78, New Bond-street, and
33, Aldersgate-street.

GENERAL CABRERA.—We are sorry to announce
that the gallant General Cabrera has been seriously in-
disposed during the pest week, at his residence in Mar-
garet-street. The worst symptoms have happily subsided,
however, and we are glad to learn that Dr. Cremens,
the medical attendant of the gallant officer, confidently
anticipates his complete restoration to health in a few
days. During the gallant General's illness he has been
daily visited by his R,yal Highness the Infante Don
Juan (of Spain), who has manifested the greatest
anxiety and most honourable solicitude on his behalf.
All the Spanish Royalists in London—many Portuguese
holding legitimate opinions—and a large number of the
English nobility and gentry, have also called to make
I inquiries.—Post.
