NEW WORK by the AUTHOR of VALENTINE VON.
Now ready, price One Shilling, the Third Part of
(FORGE ST. GEORGE JULIAN,
THE PRINCE.
_ _

By the Author of " Valentine Vox, the Ventriloquist,"
" Stanley Thorn," &e.
With Three highly finished Illustrations on Steel.
" This is indeed a most valuable work, and as interesting as
it is valuable ; rich in conception, novel in execution; the re-
sult of profound observation, cast in a humorous mould. It
should be read by every class. Neither the aristocracy—from
time immemorial the peculiar prey of ingenious knaves--nor
those who arc occupied in mercantile pursuits, should fail to
peruse it. George himself is a fair, upright, honourable
mass; extremely generous and benevolent; and his as-
sociation with persons of an opposite ca.,te is ascribed
to accident •purely, not to choice. The Scup Asso-
ciation in the fiist place is irresistible, and the quick-
silver project is richly described ; but whila the cele-
brated Poi ais bubble is commenced with a spirit which
created the conviction that the author is conversant with all
the minutiae of that memorable scheme, the most striking chap-
ter which has hitherto appeared is that wherein it is proved to
demonstration that, even in the present day, any man by
causing himself to be indicted, may with perfect impunity com-
mit the crime of bigamy, and secure to himself the property of
his victim. The grand design of the work is, to put the inex-
perienced on their guard ; and the well known tact of the author
affords a sufficient guarantee that that praiseworthy object will
be effectually accomplished. To the commercial world it is in-
valuable, and must become universally popular when its exist-
ence shall have become universally known."—Argus.

DOUBLE PATENT PERRYAN FILTER INKSTAND.
PERRY and CO. having effected considerable
improvement in their FILTER INKSTAND, have
now the pleasure to announce that a Second Patent has been
grante•A to them for such improvement, which they have united
with their First Patent, under the title of " DOUBLE PA-
TENT PERRYAN FILER INKSTAND." The eulogy
bestowed on the Patent Filter Inkstand by the public lournals,
and the preference obtained for them over the common Ink-
stands was almost unprecedented. The present novel and sci-
entific method of supplying Clear Ink to the Dipping Cup, and
returning it into the reservoir, is exceedingly simple, the action
being now performed by merely lifting up the lid to obtain a
supply, and shutting it down to withdraw it ; in this state it
cannot overflow, whatever may be the change ,of temperature,
and it is protected from dust or other injury in any place or
climate. When the inkstand is filled, it is always ready for use,
and the writer will have a regular and daily supply of Clear
Ink for fouror six months.

Dealers in such articles.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER.--There was a tolerably firm and steady
market yesterday both for goods and yarn ; and in some
eases prices were given which could not be ohtainrd
last week, especially in yarn. Still the market ex-
hibited nothing of the activity which is usual at this sea-
son of the year, and which was fully expected on the re-
turn of mild and seasonable weather.

ROCTIDALE FLANNEL MAILKET, MONDAY, FEB. 22.—.
The flannel market to-day has been more than usually
dull ; few buyers have attended, and those few have pur-
chased very sparingly : the prices remain the same as
they have been for these few wecka past. In the wool
marke: there has been but little doing, but prices re-
ma'n firm.

HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, FEB. 23. Our market
to-day has again presented a lively and animated ap-
pearance, and a considerable quantity of goods has
changed hands. The demand was principally for the
middling and lower qualities of both plain and fancy
woollens, and all new patterns were entirely bought
up. Stocks remain comparatively low, the operatives
are more fully employed, and the grand desideratum of
an improvement is prices begins to be partially realized.
The warehouses, whose trade is not dependent upon the
market-days, arc also more actively engaged, especially
in the foregoing department ; vast quantitiesef goods hove
lately been aei,t off, and the packers are now actively em-
ployed. The wool market was an average one, and prices
remain firm.

VIENNA, FEB. 13.—His Excellency Lord
Beauvale, the English Ambassador, is on the point of
marrying the beautiful "and amiable Countess Maltnn,
daughter of the Prussian Ambassador at this Court. —All-

retirement.

street, Bank of England.—" Gentlemen, having been deaf for
many years, I was induced from recommendation to try your Invisi.
ble Voice Conductors, and I have great pleasure in telling you that
they enable me to hear persons in company and at a place of wor.
shipmost distinctly; and in consequence of the great advantage
which I have derived, I have recommended many persons to you,
and their report is similar to mine—most favourable. The Spec.
tacles and Hand.glass which you have sent me are very excellent,
and suit my sight precisely, and surpass any thing of the kind I
have ever tried ; the transparency of which is so brilliant, that,
although I have passed my Stith year the '.2;2,1 of May last, yet they
enable me to read, Ba., by candlelight with the greatest ease and
comfort to myself.-Gentlemen, I return you my best thanks, and
remain your most obedient servant, HENRY COWPER.—June

is not the least perceptible nor more uncomfortable than having a
piece of wool in its place; they give immediate relief to old stand-

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.-A
bad leg of: twenty-seven sears' standing, cured in forty-
eight days.—Baron Von Kilminch, formerly attached to
the Prussian Embassy, was recommended to undergo the
amputation of his leg, and on which there were upwards
of thirty ulcers. The leg was swollen to an alarming
cxt'•nt. Gangrene had already commenced about the
ankle. It was in this dangerous state, when, on the 14th
of November last, he had recourse to the above invaluable
medicines. His leg is now perfectly cured. The noble.
man has allowed Mr. Holloway to refer any person to
him, who may be inclined to doubt this wonderful cure.
The Pills and Ointment must be used together. They
are sold at every respectable Chemist's throughout the

LADVERTISEMEN r.
The attention of our readers is directed to the
following communication addressed to Messrs. Rowland
and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London :—Sir,—l take the
liberty of addressing you a few lines. Some years since a
very intimate friend of mine had a serious fit of illness,
and when she began to rec,)ver, her hair which was beau-
tiful, came off, leaving large patches all over the head.
After trying various things as restorers, without any benefit,
your Oil was recommended, and she persevered in rubbing
it in daily; using two bottles in four weeks, at the end of
which time her hair came again ; and in a shoe t time be-
came more thick and beautiful than before, and lost its
only fault, a certain degree of harshness. She continued to
use the Macassar Oil moderately up to the time I last saw
her, and though most of her family were very grey, she
had not ono grey hair. which she entirely attributed to the
constant use of the Oil. This Lady recommended it to
me. In consequence of head-aches and trials of mind,
my hair began to turn grey ; I persevered in the use of the
Oil, and am happy to say it has quite redesmed my hair.
You are at liberty to publish this letter if you please, with
my initials only, and any one may have my name and ad-
dress, by going to your house. • I am, Sir, your obedient
servant, F. H. ll.—Rowland's Macassar Oil prevents hair
from falling off, or turning grey ; changes grey hair to its
original colour, frees from scurf and dandruff; and makes
it beautifully soft and curly.—Ask for " Rowland's Ma-
cassar Oil." The lowest price is 3s. 6d.—the next price
is 76.—.101. 6d, and 218. per bpttly.

PARLIAMENTARY VOTERS' BILL (IRE-
LAND.)
The Order of the Day for the adjourned debate hav-
ing been read,
Mr. BROTH ERTON, who was for some time inau-
dible, in consequence of laughter and noise in the
House, supported the second reading of the BR In
declaring his own opinion, he expressed the sentiments
of his constituents, from whom he had presented peti-
tions with five thousand signatures for justice to Ire-
land. In this country the inadequacy of the represen-
tation was the greatest cause of complaint. But in
England, the proportion of repsesentation was as one
is to eaty to the population ; in Scotland, it was
as one in twenty-six ; hut in Ireland, it was
only as one in seventy.—(Hear, hear.) He be-
lieved that the Bill of the Noble Lord oppo-
site would tend to curtail the franchise in Ire:and, and
he therefore considered it unjust in principle, and that
the I dab people had fair grounds for complaining of it.
On the other hand he thought that the B it introduced
by the Noble Lord, the Secretary for Ireland, would
give ener,il satisfaction in Ireland, and that it would at
the same time meet with the approval of fie people of
England, and tend to unite the inhabitants of the two
countries and promote the good understanding between
them. For his part he was opposed to the repeal of
the Union, to which he could never give his consent, but
he thought it advisable that they should have it in their
power to resist unreasonable and unjust demands by com-
plying with just ones. He thought it good policy to
grant graciously what they could not refuse safely.
The 13,11 before the House would, in his opinion, put
an end to perjury, fraud, and litigation in the Irish Re-
gistration Courts ; and seeing the great benefits that
would result from it to both countries, he had no hcsi-
tation in giving. it his most cordial and earnest support.
Air. M. MILNES hoped that the House would per-
mit him to say a few words in explanation of the vote
which he intended to give on the Bill then before the
House. He was the more anxious to do so, in conse-
quence of the misrepresentations which the Noble Lord
the Member for North Lancashire, when he introduced
a Bill of a different nature, had been subjected
to misrepresentations which every supporter of the
Noble Lord's Bill should be prepared to bear. He felt
the greatest anxiety that that great and important
question should be finally settled ; and he sincerely
regretted that her Majesty's Government had
brought forward a measure which must, as they
all knew, prevent that felicitous conclusion.—(Hear.)
They had heard a great deal during the debate of the
difference between the detail and the principle of the
Bill, and a spectator or reader of the debate would have
much difficulty in determining the one from the other ;
for while one party had maintained that the alteration
in the franchise was a matter of no importance
whatever that it was simply and accidentally
tacked to the Bill ; by another party it was
maintained the whole Bill rested on it—(Hear, hear)—
and to such an extent was that inconsistency carried
that his Right Hon. Friend the Member for Edin-
burgh commenced his speech last night by stating that
he considered the amount of the 51. franchise as a mat-
ter of no importance and almost irrelevant to the sub- ,
ject, and concluded by saying that the franchise
itself was the great principle of the Bill. But
as to the matter of detail he must state to
the House that even supposing the Poor-law
in Ireland was established, and had become an or-
ganised ystcm, instead of being the commencement of
an experiment, he did not see that it would then be
a more fair and just foundation for the franchise than
any other system that could be devised. But when
they heard such variations as those that had been
made in the valuation of land in Irel Ind,
and how totally inconsistent they were with
one another, he could not say that he could agree even
to that point of detail at the present moment.—( Hear,
hear.) There were also inconveniences attached to
that node of rating, which he did not think could
be satisfactorily got over according to the all of
the Noble Lord, and in that respect he could point
to the contrast between the Bill of the Noble Lord
the Secretary for Ireland, and the Bill which the Hon.
Member for Monaghan (Mr. Lucas) presented last
year. Between those two Bills there was this most
important distinction, that while under the Bill which
the Noble Lord had brought forward a voter might
perchance not possess the interest of a single
shilling in his tenantcy, which gave him the
right to vote--that in fact it was in c‘e-y scncc the
right of the landlord and not the right of the tenant—
the all for the Hon. Member for Monaghan vested that
right in the occupying tenant and the occupant alone.
In the position which he occupied in the House, it
would be impertinent in him to attempt to enter into
the details of the Bill, but he must say a few words as
to the principle of the Bill. N'6'stv, whether be consi-
dered the admissions made by his Right Hon. Friend
the Member for Edinburgh last evening, or the contra-
dictions of other gentlemen who had spoken on the other
side, he would appeal to the House and the country,
whether the principle of the Bill wasnot the augmentation
of the franchise in Ireland.—(Hear, heir.) One point
more as to the introduction of the Bill. If her Ma-
jesty's Ministers had really intended to pass that Bill,
so that it might become law—if they really felt
the danger to be so imminent and pressing, they
never would have brought that Bill into the House
with such a provision attached to it as they knew
must prevent its ever passing into law. He had no
objection to the Ministers of the Crown bringing for-
ward measures which they wish to become law, although
they may be aware they cannot pass them at the time, in
order to accustom the public mind to consider the subject,
so that eventually, the measure may become law. It
was in that way that Roman Catholic Emanci-
pation had been carried. It was in that way
that the Reform Bill had become law ; but were
they to wait in this manner whole years for
the Bill of the Noble Lord, when they had
a measure in the Bill of the Noble Lord the
Member for Lancashire, which they were ready to
bring into Committee, and submit to any alteration
which the House might think fit to adopt. He wished
to impress upon the House that the Government had
not brought forward this measure with any intention
that it should pass into a law. It was evident they
had some ulterior object in view, and as to what that
might be every one must form his own opinion. One
thing, however, was most remarkable throughout this
debate, and that was the silence of the Gentlemen who
took a radical view of' political affairs.—(Cheers. They
seemed to have retired into silent self congratulation,
for they saw that they bad now got the Government on
their own ground—or, the railroad of progressive reform.
Before he sat down he would remark upon the conclu-
sions that had been come to by his Right Honourable
Friend the Member for Edinburgh, when he mentioned
the possibility that the great and loyal people of
Ireland should join the enemies of the British Em-
pire.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") When they remem-
bered with what scorn Ireland had received such
an imputation, could they for a moment think that that
great people would forfeit their allegiance to the British
cmpiro ? Now that the distinctions of caste and creed
were done away with, Ireland and England formed one
part of the British empire. He would ask the Hon.
Member for Dublin whether he believed, if this measure
passed into a law, the people would be content with this
nominal franchise ?—(Hear, hear.) It was not by these
means that Ireland was to be attached to England, but
by enlightening the people of that country, and binding
them by mutual understanding and mutual interest.
That great object was also to be effected by a system
of education, and a union of religious differences, which
the Noble Lord, who had been so maligned, bad en•
deavourcd to establish.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir W. SOMERVILLE said, that as the proposi-
tion then before the House was a new one, he trusted
that he might be permitted briefly to state his views
upon it, and the reasons which could induce him to vote
for the second reading of the Bill. He had often ex-
pressed his opinion that in Ireland there never could
be any sound and satisfactory system of registration
until it was based upon a new footing. He could not
help expressing his regret that the Noble Lord who led
the opposition to this Bill should have stated that under
no combination of circumstances would he give his as-
sent to a rating under the Poor-law. He had hoped that
however the details might be objected to, however they
might think that the franchise was too low, all would
be willing to support some plan for placing the elec-
tive franchise upon a sure and sound foundation.
But however vast the improvement proposed, he
was bound to say that it did not go to the
root of the evil.—(Hear.) The consf tuencies would
continue to diminish from year to year. In Ire-
land there was a steady and rapid increase of prosperity
—(Hear, hear)—but there was an indisposition on the
part of the landlords in that country to confer upon
their tenants the means of acquiring the elective fran-
chise. That would still be in operation if the Bill
passed into a law, and they would find at last that
the constituencies would have so dwindled that the
Legislature of this country would be compelled to adopt
some plan to prevent the representation from
being entirely on one side.—(Hear, hear, hear.)
He was'very sorry to detain the House by entering
into details, but he trusted the great importance of the
subject would excuse him for putting the Hens in
possession of the former and the present state of th
constituency of the county of Meath. It was to be e
e
is Mind that that county had the advanuige of a near
