LONDON, MONDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1847.

The elevation of Dr. HAMPDEN to the episcopal
see of Hereford has hardly carried more confusion
among the Right Reverend " the Fathers in
God," than has Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S proposition
for the removal of Jewish disabilities among those
honourable gentlemen who are perpetually chaunting
the obsequies of Protection, either from the floor of
the House of Commons or from the bucolic platform
of No. 17, Old Bond-street. The division-list has
fallen like a bomb-shell among the antagonists of the
free-traders ; it has caused an explosion of political
passions as sudden and destructive as that of a petard ;
it has carried ruin, involvement, and desolation into
the camp of the monopolists. By one conscientious
vote of a partially religious and partially legislative
character, the Noble Lord the representative of King's
Lynn has resigned the leadership of the Protectionist
Opposition. The talisman of his authority is
broken. His statistical arguments will henceforth
receive more attention at TA.TTERSALCS than at
BELLA.siv's ; the eloquent and logical deductions of
his stable mind will be hereafter regarded with
greater reverence in the vicinity of the Corner than
in the neighbourhbod of St. Margaret's. Alas ! for
the evanescence of a dictatorship which promised
a species of pastoral millennium—a millennium of ex-
perimental farmers, of cpulent turfites, and of specu-
lative tufthunters. The orb of DIANA has been
ecclipsed. The phalanx of Arcadians has been dis-
persed. There is indecision among those who would
revive restrictive imposts upon provisions and other
articles of commerce. Protection as a party—at
least that portion of Protection which has hitherto
flourished in the Lower House—is as headless as the
goblin which perambulated the Sleepy hollow, and
affrighted the soul of T
ACEABOD CRANE from its
propriety.

It is melancholy to observe the despondent and
agonized amazement with which this t
giversation
on the part of the Protectionist leeardsr
GEORGE BENTINCK and Mr. Disammo leaders
reviewedrarie

(Lord
by that one amongst our morning contemporaries,
which may be considered as the foremost organ
religious and mercantile monopoly. Like the spirit
of unbridled and unstinted wrath displayed towards
Sir ROBERT PEEL, on his first proposal for perma-
nently opening the ports, the indignation of our con-
temporary is lavished with a sort of magnificent
extravagance upon the heads of the Noble and Ho-
nourable representatives of King's Lynn and Buck-
inghamshire. All sentiments ofgratitude are overlooked
in the rage of sectarianism, not to say the insanity of
fanaticism. What if Lord GEORGE BENTINCK has
floundered into political notoriety by the sweat of his
intellect, what if he has struggled through a chaos
of calculations, and a quagmire of desultory rhetoric,
for the purpose of upholding those principles which
must otherwise have sunk into oblivion, from the
want of some one of sufficient aiao'acity and reckless-
ness to become their advocate? What if the Noble ,

STRAND THEATRE.

The manager of this little theatre, determining not
to be behind hand in the production of novelty, last
night put forth three new pieces—a drama, a ballet,
and a farce. The first, taken from Cruickshank's
latest production, called The Bottle, is by the prac-
tised pen of Fox Cooper, and is well put upon the
stage; the tableaux were received with great applause.
The principal characters in the drama were admi-
rably sustained by Messrs. Archer, Yarnold, Huntley,
and Rogerson ; Misses Atkins, Terry, Jane Coleman,
Kent, and Mrs. Wollidge : it was a decided hit.
The ballet, a very pretty one, called The Camp of the
Wilderness, followed, in which Mlle. Louise Blanche,
as Marietta, a vivandiere, was quite fascinating; la
Truandese, danced by this lady, was very pretty in-
deed, as also was a new polka, in which she was
assisted by the corps de ballet, there was also some
graceful dancing by Mrs. Kirby. The male charac-
ters were well sustained by Mr. H. Cooper, and Mr.
Huntley. The scenery, music, and dresses were ex-
cellent, indeed it was put upon the stage in a manner
that reflected great credit on the management. The
evening's entertainment concluded with a new farce,
under the quaint title of Where's Eliza f To those
who wish to find this mysterious personage we direct
them to the Strand Theatre. The house was
crowded.

RIGHT or WAY OYER LORD HOLLAND'S PARK.—
At the Middlesex Sessions yesterday, the subject of the
long talked-of stoppage of the public footway across
Lord Holland's Park, at Kew, was brought before the
notice of the Court. It will be remembered that Lord
Holland is desirous of diverting a road which now runs
from the Great Western road, across his Lordship's
Park to the Uxbridge road, by constructing a direct
road from Earl's Court-lane, across the site of the Hip-
podrome, and so to the Uxbridge-road, by which means
his Lordship's Park would assume a much more private
character. The contemplated alteration has caused
much dissatisfaction among the inhabitants of Kensing-
ton, but, nevertheless, it has received the sanction of
the Board
vestry of the parish in which the property is situated.
of Highway Commissioners, and of the
But before the alterations could be carried out, it was
requisite that the sanction of the Court of Session
should be obtained, and, to gain that object, Mr. Bod-
kin, the barrister, appeared in Court. However, in
consequence of a slight legal informality in the pro-
ceedings of the Board of Highway Commissioners, the
application could not be entertained, and it was with-
drawn until the defect was remedied.
AFFAIRS OF MESSRS. REID, ROBERTSON, AND CO.
—We understand that an adjourned meeting of the cre-
ditors of Messrs. Reid, Robertson, and Co., was held
yesterday, at which an offer of nine shillings in the
pound, payable by instalments, was made to the meet-
ing, and conditionally entertained; no definite conclu-
sion, however, was arrived at.—Glasgow Saturday Post.
Captain of Corvette Bourdon-Gramont, Governor-
General of Senegal, died at St. Louis about the end of
August, of fever. M. Duehateau, chef de battaillon, has
assumed ad interim the functions of governor.
LONDON PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.—The annual
general meeting of this society was held last night in
the Hall of Commerce. I). W.:Wire, Esq., presided, who
briefly explained the origin, objects, and constitution of
the society, whicn was founded in 1841 for the relief of
the deserving poor, by providing them with bread and
coals during the winter season. The Honourable Gen-
tleman warmly advocated the cause of the charity, which
was formed to relieve a deserving class of poor persons.
The secretary read the report, which showed an increase
in the funds during the past year. Last winter the
society had distributed 4,700 tickets for 41b loaves of
bread and for 561 b. of coals. The income, which

TRIAL OF M. DE . BEAUVALLON.
On Saturday the trial was resumed, and the Court
was as much crowded as on t. preceding day.
M. Capo de Feuillide appe, tred as the advocate of
the prisoner, but some considlin.able time was taken
up with what in England we uld be considered an
irregular discussion upon aim, ost every point in the
case, and many indeed which had no apparent con-
nexion with it. Several with esses, however, gave
evidence, in addition to that which had been pre-
viously received, of the prisoner 's having practised at
a mark with the pistol used` in the duel up to the
very moment appointed for the t neeting.
M. de Thorigny then common ced his requisitory,
and after ably summing up the evidence against
Beauvallon, demanded his conviction.
M. C apo de Feuillide replied in behalf of the pri-
soner in a speech in which he recited, in the most
glowing terms, the history of his client from his very
childhood, pointing out the precocious marks of ge-
nius which had distingnitihed in him while still a,
boy the future journalist and man of feeling. He
proceeded to defend the an tiquity of the Beauvallon
family, and although check( 4:lby the President, who
remarked that no one denied it, he ingeniously suc-
ceeded in explaining that his family was the most
respectable in Guadaloupe., that the best road
in the island bore its name, that there were two
cannon there which had litsmbarded an English
frigate, and that these two million had been com-
manded by the father of Beauvallon. He deprecated
the harshness which would punioh immorality in a
boy like the prisoner, a journalist, who, at twenty-
three years of age, had become the director of the
literary department of an important newspaper, and
who had written a book which had elicited a compli-
ment from Chateaubriand. He reminded M. Meynard
that he had had a brother shot in a duel ; and after a
pathetic appeal to his client that he would never
again fight a duel, to which he replied, " Oh, never,
never !" concluded by supplicating the compassion
of the jury for a man whose friendship for his second
had alone induced him to put himself in danger by
presenting himself as a witness in his defence.
Beauvallon was then asked if he had anything to
add, and having answered in the negative,
The President asked the jury to retire and consider
their verdict.

In ten minutes the jury returned, finding the pri-
soner Guilty, but with extenuating circumstances.
The Court then retired to deliberate on its sentence,
and on returning condemned the prisoner to eight
years of imprisonment (reclusion), and to the
expenses of the process.

STRAND THEATRE.

The manager of this little theatre, determining not
to be behind hand in the production of novelty, last
night put forth three new pieces—a drama, a ballet,
and a farce. The first, taken from C?uickshank's
latest production, called The Bottle, is by the prac-
tised pen of Fox Cooper, and is well put upon the
stage; the tableaux were received with great applause.
The principal characters in the drama were admi-
rably sustained by Messrs. Archer, Yarnold, Huntley,
and Rogerson ; Misses Atkins, Terry, Jane Coleman,
Kent, and Mrs. Wollidge : it was a decided hit.
The ballet, a very pretty one, called The Camp of the
Wilderness, followed, in which Mlle. Louise Blanche,
at Marietta, a vivandiere, was quite fascinating ; la
Truandese, danced by this lady, was very pretty in-
deed, as also was a new polka, in which she was
assisted by the corps de ballet, there was also some
graceful dancing by Mrs. Kirby. The male charac-
ters were well sustained by Mr. H. Cooper, and Mr.
Huntley. The scenery, music, and dresses were ex-
cellent, indeed it was put upon the stage in a manner
that reflected great credit on the management. The
evening's entertainment concluded with a new farce,
under the quaint title of Where's Elisal To those
who wish to find this mysterious personage we direct
them to the Strand Theatre. The house was
crowded.

TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the follovringi;iterlneited in the "Times" nail!
paper on Aug. 7, 1246. Reader, remember, this letter was put low
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this °pea'
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having corn'
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four monthdo
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than
lever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues Of Mr. G.%
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an I ls, bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from e'
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance. but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume Ws far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering Al
lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough.
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, nal " ...,
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre;
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, am
-frevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. 2:
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of 1111
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companior!
o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve droPs
n the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter Of an
our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
air on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on WOO
cads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence en the brain as to Prr
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair."-Pv".

re-elected.

There were no candidates for degrees, which has
not been the case on the first day of term for a great
number of years past.

granting graces and conferring degrees, on the fol-
lowing days in the present term :—Thursday, Oct.
21 ; Friday, Oct. 29 ; Thursday, Nov. 11; Thursday,

attend either course are requested to call on the Pro-
fessor between eleven and one o'clock on Saturday,

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMCN SEHJEANT )
John Crooks and Samuel Whiffen were indicted for
stealing 16 bushels of oats, the property of Mr. Johnson,
their master.
Mr. Johnson, who keeps a granary at Hammersmith,
had reason to suspect that property of his had frequently
been missed or stolen. He found the prisoners removing
the oats at four o'clock in the morning.
They were both found guilty, and sentenced to seven
years' transportation.
Thomas Miles was indicted for stealing money, value
31. 55., the property of his master, Thomas F. Marsan.
Mies was a clerk of the prosecutor, who is an attorney.
He had received the money to pay a bill to a gentleman,
to whom he never delivered it.
The prisoner, against whom there was another indict-
ment, and who appeared to be an intelligent lad, was found
guilty, but the Court deferred its judgment till to-morrow.

NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE

ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

(From the Morning Advertiser.)
Our readers will find elsewhere a lengthened notice of
the proceedings of one of the most important associationi
which has ever been formed—we mean the National Loo
Fund Association. The principles of this Association are
new in every respect, and we make no apology to cur
readers for the space which its proceedings occupy in our
columns ; because, in the first place, we approve of the
principles upon which it is based—in the second, that ne
arc doing good to the community in making it more ex-
tensively known than it has hitherto been—and, lastly,l'e-
cause, having originally advocated and recommended tt to
public favour, it has more than fulfilled our anticipations
ofits success. The meeting was numerously attended.---
every resolution was carried unanimously—the best
pervaded both Directors arid Proprietors, and there can ba
no doubt now that the National Loan Fund Life Assur-
ance Association will rank among the foremost in t""
British empire.
That it is worthy of the support of all classes, any nnee
.
who reads its prospectus can easily ascertain for himself'
but that the working classes are especially interested
.10
its prosperity is a matter beyond question. The proof Igj
that there. are now, without its capital, its originality. In.
its stability, about forty Associations having neither their'
or the other, which are living, momentarily, upon its schen'.
feeling
