" The object of this work Is to give some useful hints as to the means
which all people have it in their power to employ when accidents
happen which require immediate attention, and no medical man is at
hand and cannot be obtained for hours. Such cases are wither few
nor unimportant, and many serious consequences, nay, even death,
may be prevented, if a judicious person, having been put on the
track, make use of the simple remedies almost every house affords,"

tinguished approval of all right-thinking

tuency. This has been conspicuously shown in the
grand civic entertainment given to the members of
the Administration by the Right Hon. the LORD
31-tATOR. It is befitting the generous character which
has latterly characterised the Legislature, that the
ex,artions of the Ministry, and especially the courage
they have evinced during an unparalleled accumula-
tion of difficulties, should periodically receive some
such public acknowledgment. It is appropriate,
taoret)ver, that these expressions of confidence and
approbation should immediately precede the vaca-
tions of Parliament, so that the members of her

arduous and extraordinary toils.

ROY AL GEMS FROM THE GALLERIES

Wilkie's matchless painting of the " Village Festivals"
Salter's " Roman Children," and Salvator Rosa's " S 01"
(hers Gambling," are the originals copied into the thir-
teenth part of this splendid serial by the gravers of
of Greatbach and Stocks. The first of the three does no
justice whatever to the original ; from the extreme ml,
nuteness of the drawing, the expressions in the different_
countenances are lost, especially the countenances of
the centre group, and the party gathered about tke
the complaisant landlord. The second engraving
more brilliant and effective ; while the third has all the
sombreness and breadth peculiar to the renowned NO-

STRANGE ACCIDENT TO TIER MAJESTY'S 621)
FOOT.—We
understand that her Majesty's 62d Foot may bi!
expected to arrive here about the 17th or 18th. On the 2.
inst., after passing Colgong, the regiment was very ne'!,
meeting with a disaster similar to that which happened to 1P
near the same place on the 6th of September, 1842. It cai:oo
on to blow a perfect hurricane, the fleet of boats was all diso
persed and cast on shore, but we are happy to report that
there was no loss of life. Colonel Shortt, Captain Graves,
and Captain Olpherts, had a very narrow escape. Just as
their boat reached the shore it tuck fire, and was burnt to
the water's edge in less than three miuutes; everything o_l.
board was destroyed, including the regimental colours:
Had the accident happened before the boat approached
the shore, it is probable that all on board would out,
perished. It was also fortunate that the fleet ":
boats had been dispersed before the fire broke 011:a
for had they been close together, others would
thi"co
taken fire, and as they were on a lee-shore, the sflo.liesr
of the wind would have rendered it impossible to c'
them. As it was, our informant 'says, that onlY the
exertions of the soldiers, who kept throwing water o_notn°
flames, prevented other boats from being burnt. The ah_ 17!
mentioned officers are stated to have suffered a loss otbO 1._,.
less than a thousand pounds, everything belonging to
ct?t'
having been destroyed. It is mentioned as a curious lost
cidence that the regimental colours should have
very nearly in the same place where the former ones wen
down about five years ago, in a boat of nearly th ~ '*_,,„..
kind. When the former accident happened, Lord Eau'''. -
rough showed his usual liberality to the suffereas.

SEAMEN'S ENLISTMENT BILL.

On the motion for the second reading of the Bill,
Sir CHARLES NAPIER said the Earl of Allot° had
stated th:r tb y we-t a ip,a6ty cur( the et:
:,..,ulf•nt of .I.llors. . (1,,1 thir•lt tliKt was a
,•-u:Nt, for th,! A ~n, t:4 r
etit was, ti,at whether war did or did not take place,
those who enlisted were entitled to the bounty.
His proposition was that a proclamation should be issued
calling out a certain number of men, and that the mas-
ters of the different merchant vessels should be obliged
to discharge that class, and take men into service who
did not come within that description. The men would
then be driven to enter her Majesty's service.
They might call it impressment if they liked,
but it was a far milder method than that
which had been hitherto practised. He very much
doubted if they could pursue the old system in this en-
lightened age. He very much doubted if the Lord Mayor
would grant a warrant to press men into the service.
lie hoped that the House would call on the Government
to make some such law as the present. When they
were in hourly expectation of war with France
the line of battle-ships were not half manned. While
vessels in the French service had nine hundred'
men on board, those in the English of equal size
had • only seven hundred or seven hundred and fifty.
He did. trust that the- Government would take some
means to correct these evils. It was the last opportu-
nity he would have of addressing the House for some
time, and he therefore was the more urgent in his appeal
Mr. WARD said that he was sorry to have to
oppose the Gallant Admiral upon this Bill, as he said
that it was the last he would introduce for a con-
siderable period to the attention of the House.
As to the general principles stated by the Gallant
Admiral he fully agreed, but the provisions
were not calculated to effect the good he desired.

Mr. CORRIE expressed his surprise at the provisions
of the Bill, and the speech with which the Gallant Mem-
ber had supported it.
Sir C. NAPIER replied—He said the Secretary of the
Admiralty had quite missed his argument; he bad failed
to answer it. He offered a prospect of something being
done at a future time ; so it was always, and so it would
be, and there would be nothing done in the end.
The gallery was then cleared, but the second reading
of the Bill was negatived without a

AGRICULTURAL TENANT RIGHT BILL.

Mr. PUSEY presented a petition from the members
of the Landowners and Farmers' Society, in favour of the
Bill. The Hon. Gentleman stated that it was not his
intention to proceed further with the Bill. The Right
Hon. Member for Tamworth had stated, and he agreed
with him, that the legislation at that period of the ses-
sion could not do anything which could satisfy the
parties concerned. He hoped, therefore, to be allowed
to withdraw the Bill.
Sir ROBERT PEEL said the Hon. Gentleman could
not look back on his course with any but the most pleas-
ing reflections, for his object had been to benefit the
parties concerned, to promote the application of capital
to agriculture, and to afford a just compensation to the
farmer for the changes which had occurred. The course
of the Hon. Gentleman did him great credit.

The Bill was then withdrawn.
LANDED PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT (IRE-
LAND) BILL.
On the order of the day far going into Committee on
this Bill being read,
Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD said the object of
the Bill was similar to that of a Bill brought
iu by Government, viz., to enable those of limited pro-
perty to improve their lands on Government advances
at a rent charge. It was intended to include those who
were excluded from the Government measure. He
wished to have the opinion of some Members of the Go-
vernment before going into Committee as to how far the
Government were prepared to support it.
Mr. MONAHAN (Solicitor-General for Ireland)
said one of the provisions of the Bill, allowing the tenant
for life to borrow money from the Government, was one
the operation of which would require consideration, and
he hoped the Hon. Gentleman would postpone the Bill.
Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD postponed the Bill
for a week.

GROUP XXIV.

MOLD.
The Committee met this morning at twelve eclock ; Mr.
Beckett in the chair.
Mr. TALBOT opened on behalf of the promoters, and stated
that he had in the first place to object to the petitions of the
inhabitants of Chester and Wrexham, as the counsel
for them had no locus standi in the Committee, in
consequence of the almost but universal practice in Parlia-
ment of not allowing any parties to appear where they
or their property were not affected by the proposed line. It
was shown that the line would not come within three miles
of Chester, but that it would run into a line that was already
sanctioned by Farliameht, and which was intended to run
directly

of `the decisions of the several

formed were allowed to appear as oppone:,ts to any project
which did nut direct iy and immediately affect their interests.
Where two companies were competing for the supply
of a •
certain district, they were the natural rivals of
each other, and of course entitled to appear. Where the
works of a projected line interfered with the works or with
the land scheduled to any other company, that company was
certainly entitled to appear; but even then its directors were
only to be heard as landowners, as bad been decided espe-
cially in the case of the Syston and Peterborough Railway.
After some consideration the Committee decided that the
Chester and Shrewsbury Company could not be bird, but
gat the landowners on the line were legitimatc, opponents.
Mr. Oakley gave evidence generally upon the quantity if
coal contained in the district, and stated tha.t' he hits s~ if
held 1,500 acres on lease, which, according to the calculation
of his agent, held more than 232,000,000 tons of coal, and
upwards of 140,000,000 tons of ironstone.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1847.

Unless the Free-trade electors immediately open
their eyes to a consciousness of their own perverse
and perilous proceedings, several of the Liberal con-
stituencies will send Conservatives, as their represen-
tatives, to Parliament. Unless, Ive repeat it empha..
tinily, the enfranchised promoters of the popular
movement cast their prepossessions or their personal
Piques aside at once—unless they dispassionately de-
bate within themselves as to the claims of the dif-
ferent candidates—unless they calculate beforehand
the most probable issue of the electioneering contest,
they will most certainly betray the cause of liberality,
either by a temporary gratification of ill humour or
by
an ill-advised division of their numerical strength.
We regret to observe this disposition in more than
one of those thoroughly
tindependent constituencies
which have hitherto elecedprinciples. Among men of honest purposes
:and generousthe most striking

for those &itizen-electors who are solicitous to aid in

MURK AND NEWCASTLE RAILWAY.
At a meeting of the Proprietors in this Railway, residing
in and near the city of lierciord. held on Monday, the 26th
for the purposc of adopting prompt measures for opposing the in-
tended a.,algamation with the Berwick Railway:—

Leiters were read from Propr,etors in Liverpool, Birmingham,
York, and other pl ,ces, expressly, of their sense of the gross in-
justice that would kle inflicted on their property, and on the unsound
proceeding as a matter of finance, were the proposed terms of amal-
gamation to be carrel.

It was therefore resolved, that with a view to more effectually
protect the interests of the York and Newcastle shareholde,s at the
unsu;ng meeting, those proprietors, who, from their isolated position
calm attend, or are unacquainted with other sharelio ders to
whom they can entrust heir proxies, be requested to forward the
same to either of the follow:fig gentlemen on or before MOUDAY, the
2d of August :

NI 'HOLAS LANWARNE, Esq., Hereford
THOS. NATHANIEL WEBB, Esq., The Vineyard, near Hereford.

The following is the form of proxy, which lutist be on a 2s. Gd.

I (A. B) one of the proprietors of the York and Newcastle Rail-
way Company, de hereby appoint (here insert the name and ad-
dress) to be my proxy and in my absence to vote in my name upon

Religious intolerance seems to be the weapon with
which the enemies of the popular movementwillen-

protestation, so scurriilous in abuse, or so slanderous

disguises its own preternatural immorality under the
