missioner Fane, which was read at the meeting, found
its way into the speech of the Hon. Member for Hull.

press, was compelled to frame his report standing on a

THE Two DOUBLE RETURNS.—At a meeting
held at Manchester, on Monday evening, it was announced
that Mr. Cobden had elected to sit as representative of
the West Riding, and that Mr. C. Villiers, with many ex-
pressions of grateful acknowledgment to the electors of
South Lancashire, declined to desert his former consti-
tuents of Wolverhampton. Writs will accordingly be issued
for new elections for South Lancashire and Stockport.
TowN AND COUNTRY.—Mrs. Trollope's new novel
"Town and Country," just published, is said to be a remark-
able exposition of fashionable life in the gallant days of the
Prince Regent, in which the writer, with the graphic talent
that has made many of her previous works so popular, has
introduced some remarkable incidents, the scene of which is
laid at the Brighton Pavilion. These pictures of a private
circle, perhaps the most exclusive ever known in society,
can scarcely fail of rendering " Town and Country" one of
the most attractive of the author's productions.
RESTORATION OF THE HAIR.—To Messrs. A
Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London. Linton,
Cambridge, October 25, 1847. Gentlemen,—A striking in-
stance of the efficacy of your Macassar Oil in the restora-
tion of the hair has just come under my notice. The person
alluded to is a young man named Hayluck, of Ashdon, near
this place, whose entire head of hair came off by some unac-
countable means. He purchased of me several different
popular preparations, which he regularly and faithfully used,
but without effecting the least apparent change. At last I
advised him to try a bottle of your Macassar Oil; and, on
Friday last, he communicated to me the pleasing intelli-
gence of the reappearance of a thick head of hair. You
can make what use you please of this, and refer any in-
quirers to yours respectfully, J. Sergeant, bookseller, &c.
*** Beware of Spurious Imitations]—The words "Row-
land's Macassar Oil " are on the wrapper of each genuine
bottle. Sold at 20, Hatton-garden, London, and by Che-
mists and Perfumers.
On Tuesday, the 23d instant, it General Assembly
of the Academicians was held at the Royal Academy of
Arts, in Trafalgar-square, for the purpose of electing a
Secretary and a Professor of Painting, both offices vacant by
the death of Henry Howard, Esq., 8.A., when John Prescott
Knight, Esq., R.A., was unanimously elected. Secre rye,eanedd
Charles Robert Leslie, Esq., R A., was unanimously el t
Professor of Painting.
A CLERGYMAN OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.--A benevolent
Pa, stor residing in Belfast (whose name is withheld by his
own desire) was applied to by a poor woman of his pa-
rish who had been afflicted for four years with an awfully
bad leg with sixteen wounds, and so extremely painful,
that she could not place her foot on the ground. Feel-
ing for her poverty and sufferings, this humane gentle-
man presented her with a supply of Holloway's Ointment
and Pills, which soundly healed her leg in about five
weeks, although she had been in the Dublin Hospital for
seven months, and had consulted several medical men
inr
Ireland.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Hol-
loway's establishment, 244, Strand, London.
HEROIC CONDUCT.—A Watermanw named Peak,ed,
nint
while employed yesterday at Roff'
holding a rope attached to a vessel 13n thhearrivr'elr\: by
fell off the barge on which he was standing and immediately
sunk to the bottom. In a minute or two after he rose to the
surface on the other side of the barge, completely exhausted,
when a gentleman, whose name is not known by any person
who witnessed his praiseworthy conduct, jumped into the
water, and succeeded in bringing the drowning man on
shore. Peak is still alive, and it is to be hoped will recover,
although so long undesr the water. Every attention has
been paid to him at Mrs. Gosling's tavern, whither he was
conveyed on being rescuedcr by the stranger, who proceeded
to town the first opportunity.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Nov. 22.—N0 further murders or very seri-
ous outrages are announced in the accounts from the
provinces, to day. There is, however, a very alarming
account of the state of the county of Sligo, where, ac-
cording to the Sligo Champion, some of the principal
gentry have been served with threatening notices.
Letters, received this day from Nenagh, state that
there are no hopes of the recovery of Mr. R. Bayly,
recently fired at by assassins. All the worst symptoms
had set in.

There is no positive confirmation of the murder of the
sub-agent of the Marquis of Ormonde, of Kilcash,
county of Tipperary, on Tuesday last; but, unfortunatelN
there is no ground to doubt the intelligence already
communicated.

-
The Duke of Modena has issued an edict against
all assemblages of the people. This edict orders all offences
of leze-majesty committed by any such assemblages to be
tried before a court-martial, encourages informers by pro-
mising secrecy and rewards, and punishes concealment with
imprisonment and exile.

.DEATII OF THE ELECTOR OF HESSE.—At half
past twelve, on the 20th instant, his Royal Highness
William 11., Elector of Hesse, departed this life at Frank-
fort, after a few days illness. The deceased was born on the
28th of July, 1777, and succeeded to the electorate cn the
27th of February, 1821. He is succeeded by his son, Prince
Frederick William, born on the 20th of August, 1802, add
who, since 1831, thared the reins of government with his
father.

SUICIDE FROM DISTRESS.—On Saturday evening
between five and six o'clock, a most determined act of
self-destruction was committed by a female named Anne
Akers, 47 years of age, by nearly severing her head
from her body, at No. 11, North-row, Grosvenor-square.
The unfortunate woman lived at No., 8 Molyneux•street,
Edgeware-road, and had been a lady's maid, but of late
she had taken to needlework as her only means of sup-
port; for the last three months she had suffered great
privations in consequence of the scarcity of employment,
but she was compelled at length to seek parochial assist-
ance, and on making application to the parish of Mary-
lebone she was allowed 2s. 6d. per week, which continued
for a month, when it was taken off. During the pre-
vious week she was without food for several days. On
Friday night she borrowed a shilling of her landlady,
and on Saturday she called on her sister, living at No.
11, North-row. She had nut been absent more than
five minutes, when a young man named Hedges observed
blood flowing under the door of the water-closet, and on
the door being burst open the deceased was discovered
lying on the ground with a wound in her throat extend-
ing from ear to ear. An open razor was lying by her
side. A surgeon was called in, who pronounced her
quite dead, and that she must have died almost instans
taneously.
PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 23.—Her Majesty's steamer
Kite, Commander Dumaresq, arrived this morning from
Jersey. While cruizing off the coast of France, for the pro-
tection of the English fishery, she struck on a sunken rock,
and before she could be cleared carried away nearly all the
false keel and part of the forefoot. She will require docking
to make good her defects. The Belleisle troop-ship has been
detained by strong westerly gales.
MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 12 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25 45 ; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25 G 5, it follows that gold is 0.78 per
cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from
Hamburgh the price of gold is 436} per mark, which at
the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10,; and the ex-
change at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 121 e,
it follows that gold is 0.79 per cent. dearer in London
than in liamburgh.
JEWISH DISABILITIES.—The following petition,
"To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and
Ireland, from the English Presbyterians of the county of
Chester, in half-yearly meeting assembled, at Stockport, on
the 20th of October, 1847," has been forwarded to Lord J.
Russell for presentation :—" That your petitioners, as Pro-
testant Dissenters, hold religious liberty—their own and
others'—to be a sacred right, the violation of which neither
prescription nor any fancied expediency can justify. That
your petitioners have rejoiced to behold the great advances
made during the past 20 years by the country and the Le-
gislature towards the adoption of the great principle, that a
man's religious opinions ought not to affect his civil privi-
leges. That your petitioners have heard with great satis-
faction, that the large, varied, and important constituency of
the city of London has returned to your Honourable House,
as one of its representatives, a gentleman of the Hebrew
faith. That your petitioners believe one of the requirements
exacted from the Members of your Honourable House to be
a solemn declaration, or oath, which no conscientious Jew
can make. That the continuance of this exaction imposes
on a meritorious and patriotic class of men an unjustifiable
disability, and is an unnecessary interference with the free
choice by the people of their representatives in !Parliament.
Wherefore your petitioners humbly but earnestly pray your
Honourable House to remove this last barrier of intolerance,
and to admit the Jew, equally with the Christian, to all the
privileges of Parliament, when returned by the free voices
of his countrymen. And your petitioners will ever pray, &e
PRIVATE BUSINEI3S.—The third report
select committee of the House of Commons, pousiness ofinted to
appoint
inquire as to the mode of conducting the private
the House, and also as to the expenses attending the ob-
taining or opposing private Bills,interesting
and important character,was issued yesterday. The
report, which is of an
embodies a number of recommendations as to the mode for
the future of regulating the passing private Bills. The sub-
ject is of too complicated a nature to go into at present, but
it is a matter which necessarily must occupy much attention
during the present session. In addition to the report,
witnesses
who blue book before us contains the evidence of several
who have had extensive experience as to the mode in which
the private business of Parliament is conducted. M a
e
-
pendix also furnishes some curious details w ith respect pto
the costs in obtaining private Bills. As a specimen, we
would direct the attention of those who are curious in such
matters to the extraordinary particulars furnished in this
part of the volume as to the charges attending the passing
the Great Northern Railway Act..
ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE AT PAEIS.—An
attempt at Suicide has just been made by another person
belonging to the upper class of society at Paris. On Friday
afternoonadetonatioen was heard in the apartment occupied
by the Chevalier d
Navaro, attache of the Portuguese
Embassy, rue du Faubourg Poissonuiere, 49. On entering
the room M. de Navaro was discovered with part of his head
shot off, and holding in his hand a poivard, with which he
endeavoured to complete self-destruction. He was in such
a violent state of excitement, or rather delirium, that it was
found necessary to convey him to a Maison de Sante. M.
de Navaro is about thirty-five years of age, and occupied an
eminent position in Parisian society. His attempt at suicide
can only be ascribed to temporary insanity.—Galignani.
NELSON'S COLUMN AT CHARING CROSS.—Mr.
Carew, the sculptor, has just completed the model of the
