PROVIDE AGAINST FROST.-DEFRIES'
DRY GAS-METER is never affected by Frost or Time, and
may be hired at a trifling expense of all Gas Companies who supply
meters to their customers. Nearly 30,000 have been sold, and the
first judges of the day have pronounced them to be unequalled, while
the patronage of Government, the public, and of all the London, and
most of the provincial companies confirm the fact.—N. DEFRIES
begs to state, that in addition to the large meter he recently con-
structed for the Royal Italtan Opsra -house, Covent-garden, upon the
order of the Chartered Gas Company, and which passes 6,000 feet of
gas per hoar, ho has been honoured by that Company with the addi-
tional order for the meter for the New Howes of Parliament, which
is calculated to pass 10,000 feet of gas per hour, and to supply 2,009
lights, fine_ has been universally pronounced to be the most superb
and effective measuring machine ever constructed. It will remain
for public inspection for another week at Messrs. Glover's, 168,
Drury-lane.
Testimonials may be obtained at either Factory, 10, Hampstead.
road, or 67, St. Martin's-lane.

PAINTING WITHOUT SMt I, 1.4.
11 The desideratum so long sought after. -
Mix your paint with the newly discovered SWEET OIL of TUB'`
PENTINE, certified by Dr. Sorny, instead of the deadly abOaduatiorl
called oil or spirits of turpentine.
The following certificate must convince the most sceptical :
" This is to certify, that I have analysed and subjected to variety
tests a Sweet Oil of Turpentine, which is wholly free from the smell
hitherto considered inseparable from the article. The process of
manufacture, which is entirely new, has been communicated to Ins
by the inventor in confidence, and I am satisfied that by this discover,'
the deleterious properties for which Oil of Turpentine has hitherto been
notorious are wholly obliterated, whilst its useful preperties are Pr!:
served intact, and that the use of Common Oil of Turpentine, in
branches of trade wherein this article is now used, will be entirs'Y
superseded. I find that taint, when mixed with Sweet Oil of
Teri
penline, although gr;:atly improved in brilliancy of colcouh raremisr.."

Th:: opening of Parliament is always an important
event, but this opening of Parliament is more than
ordinarily auspicious. To-day the Members of the
Legislature assemble at 'Westminster, and to-day
Free Trade becomes veritably the law of the land.
With the last day of January the last hours of Mono-
poly expired. The ports are now not only legally,
but actually open. In another column will be found
the inaugural address of her Most Gracious MAJESTY
to the Houses of Parliament, and in another column
will be found the last Anti-Corn-law speeches of the
heroes of the League at a grand banquet, which was
last night given in the Free-Trade Hall of Manches-
ter, to celebrate that glorious consummation of
their labours. Her MAJESTY, in her royal
Speech, congratulates herself and her people on
their happy exemption from the troubles and hostili-
ties which have agitated other nations, and she ex-
presses her happiness that, during the recent Revo-
lution, England has been enabled on three several occa-
sions to assume the blessed part of Mediator. Then,
turning her attention nearer home, her MAJESTY an-
nounces some proposed retrenchments in the public
expenditure, and calls the attention of Parliament to
the Navigation Laws--those last vestiges of a system
now happily extinct. Finally, under the blessing
of PROVIDENCE, she once more summons the Lords
and Commons of the Empire to exert their
best energies in the service of the people for which
they are called to rule. We cannot doubt but that
her MAJESTY'S Speech will be worthily responded to,
responded to not merely by the loyal Address of both
Houses, in which the letter of the Speech
only is answered, but by the acts, of
the United Parliament, which may tend to
realise those aspirations for the welfare and happiness
of her people, which
.invariably constitute the spirit
of all Queen VICTORIA'S discourses. Should, more-
over, any stimulus to such exertion be wanting—
should her MAJESTY'S Speech fail in arousing the pa-
triotic ardour of our senators, let them contemplate the
proceedings which took place last night at Manchester.
There they will find at once a stimulus to exertion and
an encouragement to perseverance. They will there
observe the record of the grand banquet attended
in that same city where some ten years
ago a group of seven gentlemen met together in a
little back room to consider how they, insignificant
as they seemed, might overthrow an existing law,
suppcted by the whole, or nearly the whole, wealth
and power of the country. The paucity of their re-
sources, and the apparently invincible might of their
opponents nothing daunting that little band,
animated by the consciousness of the justice
of their cause and confident in their own singleness of
purpose, they boldly risked the encounter. Years
passed on, but in spite of every obstacle, amid scorn,
ridicule, and contumely, they persevered, and last
night, in Manchester—no longer seven men in a little
back room, but three thousand in the great Free-
Trade Hall—assembled to celebrate the triumph of
that audacity and perseverance.
After this who shall despair ? If the cause be but
just, perseverance must and will eventually win the
battle. With feelings of no little gratification
we this day direct the attention of our readers to the
speeches of Mr. VILLIERS, Mr. COBDEN, Mr. WILSON,
and Colonel THOMPSON, at the last free-trade
meeting. Cordially do we reiterate the exultan
sentiments to which those gentlemen have given
utterance ; for from the first move of the enterprise
we have been with them, heart and hand. But how-
ever sincerely we
,sympathise with the jubilations
of the Free-traders, still more heartily do we coincide
with the would not-be Member for South Lancashire,
as Mr. WILsoN happily designated him, in his asser-
tion that this reform, the achievement of which we
now celebrate, must be the precursor of many
more. "I never supposed," said Mr. VILLIERS,
that the repeal of the corn-laws was to be a substi-
tute for other reforms. I- just supposed the other
thing l I never supposed that because the corn-laws
were not repealed, that was any reason why we should
not advocate a better constitution of Parliament, or a
greater amount of retrenchment." Mr. VILLIERS is,
therefore, again ready to devote his whole energies to
the promotiom of necessary reforms. He is again
ready to exercise that unwearying ardour, and that
indomitable perseverance to which the triumph of
free-trade is mainly due. It is well now, in the
hour of victory, that we should call to
mind the past exertions by which that
victory was attained. The irpeople of England, who
are almost wholly exempt from that most despicable
of national failings—popular ingratitude, will, no
doubt, on this day, call, gratefully to mind the
" unadorned eloquence" of RICHARD COBDEN, by
which the truths of free-trade were so happily dif-
fused throughout the length and breadth of the land,

and the marvellous fortitude of CHARLES PELHam
VILLIERS—one of the first supporters, if not
the very first supporter, of the cause, and
throughout the struggle one of its ablest and most
persevering defenders. Others have been glad to join
hands with the winning band, but the latter champion
stood almost alone, when to be a free-trader was con-
sidered not a glory but a disgrace. Neither on this
auspicious day will the services of that Minister who
sacrificed for free-trade power and party, his friendsi
affection, and his own;reiterated pledges, be forgotten!
That memory which Sir ROBERT PEEL invoked on'
quitting office will for ever cherish
,his name when.
the defunct Corn-laws are alluded to. For all these
considerations 'we cannot but think this Free-trade
Jubilee singularly well-timed. May it inspire our
Legislators with confidence '
in the prosecution of
popular measu res, and may it impress upon them
the awful responsibility of those who can achieve
great things. Viewed in this light, the Free-trade
Banquet forms an excellent supplement to her MA.

The proposition of M. RATEAU for the immediate dissolu-
tion of the Assembly will be discussed on Saturday. M.
DUIPAUEE is to propose an amendment of a conciliatory cha.
racter, which will probably be adopted instead of the original
proposition.

The wound in General CHAItGA.RNIEII,'B head was the re-
sult of an accident. He was himself discharging a pistol
which had been loaded some time, and the recoil was so great
that the butt. end of the pistol struck him on the forehead.

amounted to a denial of the rights of the Pr• President of the
Assembly to look to its defence.
M. Leon Fauci ler, Minister of the Interior, said he would
be happy to give explanations on each of the acts brought
under notice by the honourable member. With regard,
first, to the letter of General Changarnier to the President of
the Assembly., he considered that the latter had already dis-
posed of all o 1 jections by his own personal expression of satis-
faction yester day. The President was surely the best judge of
what was due : to his own dignity, and when he had'declared
himself satisi led he could not understand how any one else
had a right to show more susceptibility than the party
moat interest ed. With regard to the arrest of Colonel
Forestier hew ould at once declare that if it had been caused
by the tender of services
made by that officer to the Presi-
dent of the Ask iembly, it would have been wholly unjusti-
fiable. He ha d himself spoken to the President of the
Council, having been under the impression that the arrest of
the Colonel was on account of a supposed breach of discip-
line,lht he Was a nabled to inform. theAssembly-that•hahad
