INFLUENZA AND FEVER.
Dremedy for Fevers, Colds, Influenza, and all Diseases
R. NORRIS'S DROPS are a certain
that arise from obstructed perspiration. The Medicine here recom-
mended to the Practitioner and the Public is composed of articles
known to be the most anti-putrescent, combined with the ingredient
kn ,wn to the profession, as the only certain antidow for Fevers of
every description. When the disease is produced either from cold,
obstruction, bad air, swampy and damp situatirns, or putrid miasma,
whether malignant or epidemic, or by other causes, this medicine is
certain in its operation and effects, it produces the most gentle and
sanatory perspiration, and by a specific quality, peculiar to itself, not
only expels the disease, but restores and invigorates the system.
Those celebrated Drops have had the unbiassed testimonies to their
invariable effects, of numbers of the nobility, gentry, and medical
men of this Kingdom, and the extensive demand for them from the
West Indies, and America, prove that in those countries they are
held in equal estimation.

The Rev. E. HAWKEs said he had been anticipated by Mr.
Heyworth in the expression of his strong opinion that not
merely the temporal interests of the world at large, but the
eternal welfare of the poor was largely involved in the ques-
tion of the Corn law, which tended constantly to the physical
and moral degradation of the people. He had striking ex-
amples constantly before him in Kendal of the sufferings of the
working class, consequent upon the want of employment and
the high price of food, and, believing that these sufferings
were occasioned by the Corn-law, he felt it his duty at all
times, as a Christian minister, publicly to proclaim the wicked-
ness and injustice of that law.
The CHAIRMAN, at the close of these addresses, invited
discussion, and said the deputation would be glad to answer any
objections or reply to any questions.
A person of the name of Earle delivered himself of a num-
ber of stock fallacies about foreign competition, the national
debt, taxation, &c., which were satisfactorily disposed of.
After which a resolution was moved by THOMAS ESKER-
RIGGE, Esq., and seconded by G. JACKSON, Esq., and car-
ried unanimously in favour of establishing an Anti-Corn-law
Registration Society, to promote the return of Members
pledged to the immediate abolition of the corn and provision
laws. _ _

A vote of thanks to the Deputation was moved by W.
SATTERTB WAITE, Esq., and seconded by MooRE, Esq.,
and carried by acclamation.
After which thanks were voted to the Chairman.
The meeting then gave three times three deafening cheers
for the abolition of the Corn-law, and separated.
The place of meeting was crowded to excess, and we un-
derstand a majority of the registered electors were in the
room. Amongst the leading gentlemen of the borough pre-
sent, we observed, T. H. Higgins, Esq., R. Dunn, Esq.,
Dr. John'on, R. F. Housman, Esq., T. Eskrigge, Esq., G.
Jackson, Esq., Moore, Esq., &c., &c. The Deputation
declared that they had not on any occasion met a more en-
ththiastic reception, and the oldest inhabitant of Lancaster
certainly never beheld so influential a meeting in the borough.
The Anti-Corn-law League have now done their duty, and
the Electoral body are evidently prepared to do theirs. It will
test with the more influential men of the borough to take the
lead, and to follow up the holy war against selfishness and
injustice, so gloriously begun by the men of Manchester.
We understand the League are preparing to visit the Elec-
tors of all the neighbouring boroughs. We devoutly say—
God speed them in their righteous efforts.

SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE.

In the course of Tuesday information was received in the
City of the loss of the following vessels, which we regret to
state was attended with loss of life : On Saturday last the coast
throughout the kingdom was visited with a severe hurricane,
which occasioned considerable damage amongst the shipping,
independently of the loss of the undermentioned vessels. The
Britannia schooner, from St. Ives, Captain Hayes, was lost
on Saturday, on the rocks under Trevethick cliff, near
Padstow, Cornwall. At the time she was wrecked she was
endeavouring to get into the harbour under full sail, when
the force of the gale drove her on the above-named rocks.
The coast guard and inhabitants of Padstow, observing the
dangerous position of the vessel, and being convinced that
she must become a complete wreck, at the same finding that
it was totally impossible to put off in their boats without
running the hazard of a fate similar to that of Lieut. Smith
and his crew a short time since, on the same coast, from the
immense surge, resorted to the apparatus of Captain Manby,
firing rockets to the Britannia. So perfect was the aim that
the first rocket which was fired reached the deck, when a haw-
ser was attached to the rocket line, and hauled ashore ; the dis-
tance from the beach to the vessel was upwards of a quarter
of a mile. A communication being thus made, a cradle was
fixed to the line, by which means the whole of the crew, con-
sisting of seven persons, were safely landed. Shortly after
the preservation of the crew, the bottom of the vessel broke
up, when the cargo, consisting of coals, was washed out, and
subsequently the vessel became a total wreck. On the 18th
of last month the ship Globe, belonging to Bath, on her
voyage from that place to New York, was lost off the Bahamas.
She had on board 1,260 bales of cotton, and was insured to
the amount of 600/. ; her value is, however, considerably
above that sum. The whole of the crew and passengers
were saved. On the 27th of last month, the vessel called
the Heureuse Julienne, belonging to Vannes, for Rouen, was
totally lost on the coast of Loch, near Quimper. Three of the
crew were lost. On Thursday, the Ist. inst., during the gale
the smack Wellington, of Skerries, Grimsley, master, in making
for the harbour of Drogheda struck upon the bar and became
a total wreck. The crew consisted of seven persons, all of
whom got into the boat, but in the attempt to reach the
shore the boat, from the heavy surf, got swamped, when five
of the poor fellows met a watery grave. The ill-fated smack
was bound for Dublin, and had a freight of potatoes on board.
On the night of the 18th of last March the brig Rinaldo,
Captain Parsons, from Gloucester to New York, was lost off
the Bahama Islands, but the crew were saved. The vessel is
insured for 1,5001. On the 22d of March the schooner Mary
Ann Belton, Faulkner master, was lost at St. Michael's as
was also the Mary Ann, Captain Carter, off the same place a
few days afterwards. Both of the vessels were laden with
oranges and lemons. The crews were happily saved. In the
course of last week accounts were received of the loss of four
other vessels in the Atlantic during the prevalence of the hurri-
cane. They were all outward-bound from London to New
York. Amongst them were the brig Leo, Captain Haley,
laden with a general cargo; and the brig Samaritan, for New
York ; and Havannah, from Greenock. The crews of both
these vessels were saved. The loss sustained by the shipping
interest during the last month on the English coast is estimated
at several hundred thousand pounds.

On Sunday afternoon the potboy at the Victory,
the corner of the Canal-road, Kingsland-road, who went there
by the name of George Weston, but whose name is Benjamin
Carter, suddenly left the house, winch is in the occupation of
Mrs. Worboys, a widow, when it was found that he had taken
away 1501. in sovereigns. They were in the bedroom of Mrs.
Worboys, who had placed them there for safety shortly before
shte went to church. He was seen in the room by the servant
girl, who told him that he had no business there, and he was
soon after observed to scale the back wall, by which means he
escaped. He is well known on the other side of the water,
having once followed the trade of a tanner. Yesterday Mrs.
Worboys had a letter sent to her by the prisoner, in which he
states that his father is an Esquire, whom he formerly offended,
a ad that he wanted the money to equip himself in order to pay
a visit to hi§ father ; and he concludes with saying that he will
let her have the money in a short time. Kemp, an officer of
the N division, has been in pursuit of the prisoner since the
robbery. A reward of 501. is offered for his apprehension.
At the Middlesex Sessions on Monday, Morley,
th e notorious impostor, who feigns to be deaf and dumb,
a as sentenced to be imprisoned in the House of Correc-
ti on for twelve months, with hard labour, for having
audulently obtained from the Baroness de Rothschild a
eisnation of Is. The Secretary to the Mcndicity Society
said, that after the defendant had come out of prison on
the last occasion he had applied to him for an appointment
to, ono of the officers of the Association.

OXFORD, MONDAY EVENING.—The Tract
agitation increases. Every nerve is strained by the party to
repair the blow they have received, and to intimidate their
opponents. Professor Sewell has published a postscript,
disavowing his supposed objections to the Tracts, and as-
serting that the proclamation of the Hebdomadal Board is
not entitled to be regarded as the act of the University.
The party openly boasts that, had the matter been referred
to Convocation, a majority would have supported. the Tract
objected to, and a declaration is now in the course of signature
both in Oxford and among the non-resident clergy, expressing
" a grateful acknowledgment of the eminent services of
the Tractites in recalling public attention to the dis-
tinctive principles maintained by the Church of England !"
On the other hand, Mr. Wilson's (one of the four tutors)
reply to Mr. Newman has severely affected the credit of
the -.leaders, and great disgust is also - the jesuitical
attempt of the latter to implicate the Bishop of Oxford in the
charge of having sanctioned the Tracts previous to the appear-
ance of No. 90. Undoubtedly intrigue has been at work, and
still is, at work, to cajole and intimidate the Bishops, who are
less active than the crisis demands ; but even the Primate is
said to be at length impressed with the serious appearance of
things, and is currently believed to have insisted on the
Lambeth librarian, Mr. Maitland, withdrawing himself from
the Anglo-Catholic society, of which Drs. Pusey and Hook
are principal members. Unless, however, the laity throughout
the country rouse themselves. there are good reasons why the
Primate should shrink from the inconvenience he would
feel in disconnecting himself front parties with whom it is un-
derstood that he has been long associated by the ties of private
friendship. Dr. Wiseman's letter, just published, demonstrates
that there is absolutely no difference between the teaching of
Oxford and the Vatican.

NEW AND SUCCESSFUL OPERATION FOR
ANEUKism.—An operation in a very serious and almost hope-
less case of aneurism was lately successfully performed by Mr.
Skey, of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, in the presence of Sir
Benjamin Brodie and other eminent survons, the result of
which has been much talked of in medical circles. The gentle-
man who was the subject of the operation is the Rev. D.
Pretyman, Rector of Middleton, in Oxfordshire ; and the
aneurism to be removed (which may be popularly described
as the formation of a dangerous sac upon the blood-
vessel) was situated on the sub-clavian artery, a fearful
locality. Ordinarily, an operation of this nature occupies
from thirty minutes to an hour, the result being in the
majority of cases fatal, in consequence of great loss of
blood and total prostration of animal vigour. In the pre-
sent instance the operation was performed in ten minutes,
and the loss of blood was only two ounces, circumstances
which are due to an entirely novel method of performing it.
Mr. Skey conducted the operation by first making an incision
in the neck downwards, above the clavicle, the muscular fibre
being afterwards; gradually divided (slit) by a silver knife,
until the seat of the disease was reached, and the aneurism
removed. This mode of performing the operation is to be
looked upon as a great step in surgery, the ordinary method of
making the incision in the lower part of the neck, and di-
viding the carotid veins and artery, exposing the patient to
the serious evils previously mentioned. So unexpected was
the recovery of the Rev. Mr. Pretyman that on his arrival at
the rectory the bells were set ringing, and the parishioners
made general holidq.
AIR. ADAMS S ORRERY.—Mr. Adams has
commenced his popular lectures on Astronomy, and will con-
tinue them during the present week and Easter week, at the
Adelphi Theatre. These lectures were, we believe, originally
delivered at the Italian Opera-house, and attracted a good
deal of attention from those who are desirous to become ac-
quainted with astronomical science by the easiest means, and
-who have not time to make a long study of it. The lectures
:are, as usual, illustrated with very good apparatus, and with
.a transparent orrery, by means of which information is im-
parted in an easy and agreeable manner, and an impression .
s
:made upon the memory, through the eyes, which it will be
:almost impossible to forget. To those who have some know-
ledge from reading of the science, this orrery and apparatus
will supply what mere reading can with difficulty convey, and
to young persons of both sexes who have not the advantages
of a scientific education, and to whom mathematical learning
is unknown, they will be found exceedingly useful. The doc-
trine of the tides, of the eclipses, and of the orbit of the stars
and heavenly bodies, are clearly explained by the lecturer, and
there is this good feature attending the explanations, that whilst
they are sufficiently clear to suit. all capacities, they are not
riade pantomimic by the introduction of unnecessary scenery
and grotesque representations. They are very fit to instruct
oung persons who are at home for the Easter vacation.
D EST RUCTIVE PI RE.—Yesterday morning, at a
quarter before nine o'clock, the manufactory of Mr. 'turner,
No. 46, Myddleton-street, floor-cloth and table-cover manu-
facturer, caught fire. The men in the employment of Mr.
'.turner had left a quarter of an hour before the conflagration
t roke cut, and there was then no appearance of fire. When
the flames were discovered they were issuing from the drying-
room, in which was a flue, and the calamity is ascribed to
that being overheated. Information was promptly sent to the
station-house of the G division in Rosamon-street, when a
policeman was sent off in a cab to the different fire-engine sta-
tions, and in about a quarter of an hour five or six engines
were at the spot, with Mr. Braidwood, their superintendent ;
but by the time they had reached there the extensive manu-
factory was in a blaze, and nearly the whole of the property
consumed. By the great exertion of the firemen the flames
were prevented from extending to the adjoining houses.

AFFLICTING AND FATAL ACCIDENT TO A
SON IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS MOTHER.—On Tuesday
evening, about six o'clock, the following afflicting and fatal
accident occurred to a fine lad, named John Cannon, fourteen
years of age. lie was in the employ of Mr. Corkhill, of the
buke of Clarence, Rotherhithe, as pot-boy. His mother and
sister called upon him that afternoon, and he accompanied
them to the Grand Surrey Canal Dock, for a walk. Being
acquainted with a young man named James Garbutt, on board
the ship Ann and Eliza, he went on hoard, and to amuse his

reached the fore top gallantmast-head, and from thence slid
down the stay to the main-topmast cross-trees. The stay not
being taught, he could not reach the cross-trees; and being
suspended by his hands, called out save me, save me. His
mother, who witnessed his peril, cried out for assistance, and.
Garbutt and a man named Bates simultaneously ascended to
his aid, but ere they could reach him he let go his hold, and
fell on the deck, a depth of upwards of 70 feet. The unfortu-
nate lad lingered only until eleven o'clock the same evening,
when he died.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY.-- Among
the many improvements making, besides the Royal Exchange,
is the extension of the Blackwall Railway from the Minories
to Fenehurch-street, where will shortly be the principal en-
trance. The property pulled down to effect this object is very
considerable, as many large shops in the Minories, and exten-
sive mercantile premises will be purchased and pulled clown ;
hundreds of men are employed day and night building the
foundation, over which will pass the iron viaducts up to Fen-
chureh-street, crossing where Gould-square once stood,
Coopers-row CrAteliedFriars,passing the East India warehouses.
At the top of the Minories and Ald'ate the houses ale im-
mediately to be pulled down for the City improvements leading
xo Biihopsgate and the north-western parts of the metropolis.

The people evinced their indignation, and refused to
sign ; the Government acted shamefully, and vexations b -
gan mose violent and imprudent than ever. An acting
Justice of the Peace, Dr. Antonio Stravopodi, brother-
in-law to the most excellent Regent, was seen holding the
address, and smiling graciously upon the contending par-
ties, who were waiting the decision of their came, requesting
them previously to affix their signatures. The Municipal
Officer of Provisions, Mr. Antonio Micalizzi,
law also of the Regent, accompanied by Mr. Zavrandino,
a third brother-in-law of the same personage, was teen
running about the city, and obliging tavern-keepers, fish-
mongers, bakers, eheesemongers, &c., to sign it. Those
who complied through fear were rewarded by an inctesse
of price on their various articles, while the recusants were
subjected to fines, and compelled to close their shops and
taverns. Lastly, the quintessence of dregs, the contrac-
tor for salt, whose despicable name our pen refuse; to
trace, was seen with the address on his table, impudently
threatening to refuse a supply of that necessary article to
the poor countrymen who refused to subscribe their names.
By these and sirrilar means the disturbtr of public order,
the designing exciter of scandalous scenes, the present
Government, succeeded in adding to the signatures of the
police a very limited number of names, among which, to
the surpri e of none, again appeared first and foremost
those of my Lord Metropolita and the persons in office,
who the preceding day had spontaneously signed another
address on a similar subject, but of a different tendency.

The fullouing letter, referring to the same subject, has
just been forwarded to us :
TO THE EDITOR OF 7'HE SUN.

Sir.,—Previously to quitting the lonian Islandr, and
during this kind of interregnum, Sir Howard Dougla3 is
determined to gt;v:i still further and indelible proof.; of the
plenitude of his power. After having caused to be inserted
in the lonian Gazette, as a warning to the emplo)6,, an
opinion a'tributed to Washington,* he ordered the Senate
to dismiss from their offices several persons of known in-
tegrity and talent, whose consciences would not permit
them to put their names to the Address which Sir Howard
got up last year, as an expression of the gratitude
of the lonian people [after his warm eulogy of them
in his despatch of the 10th April, 1840] for bia pa-
ternal anxiety to promote the welfare of these States, and
as a declaration of their conviction that every charge
against such a benefactor is purely a machination of ca-
lumny. Nor was this sufficient : he wanted to make ev,n
spiritual authority subservient to his purpose ; consequently
the dignitaries of the Church, who, knowing the words of
the Address to be untrue, would not injure their character
by attesting them with their signature, were made to feel
his wrath.

Such is Oil conduct of Sir Howard Douglas in the
lonian Islands, and of that winch is required from the em-
ployes, as well as from the clergy themseli es. Let it be
observed, also, that at the inauguration of the last Par-
liament, the employes were confirmed in their tacos, and
have, therefore, a right to enjoy the advantrgcs arising
therefrom during the entire quiuquennium.
Can it, then, be assened that the citizens concurred
spontaneously in augmenting the number of signatures
affixed to addresses under such circumstances ? Is it not
evident that violence was done to the freedom of opinion,
and that such repeated acts corrupt the pevle, teaching
and authorizing them to practise lying, and to a'test, in
opposition to their conscience, things which are not true ?
Hence it is, that, restrained by the unlimited power of
the police, the people cannot obey the impulse of their
will, even in seeking redress for but a portion of tli,eir
.
numerous grievances. It for this reason that they dare
not, although privately, give their signatures even on oc-
casions the most lawful and obligatory. If the people
wish to address an avowal of gratitude to their august
Protectress, unless the whole thing is under the direction
of the agents of the Government, to sign it is a dime,
and all who take part in the affair become, henceforth,
marked men.

The dismissals of which we have spoken are used also
for the purpose of intimida ieg those passive individuals
who readily yield to authori y ; as it is whispered that a
new address is to be prep trod in favour of Sir Howard.
Sir Howard Douglas has, however, committed rather a
blunder by quoting the opinion of Washington. Every
body knows what principles that great man possessed and
supported, and what are the principles entertained by Sir
Howard, principles diametrically opposed to those of his
own couutry and Government, and leading him to invade,
as absolute monarch, the constitutional powers of the
lonian Islands.
We may, therefore, rightfully conclude, that those whom
Sir Howard characterizes as ctemies of the lonian Go-
vernment are, on the contrary, the true friends of that
Government, regarding it in the light of its true constitu-
tional principles, and not in a spirit of despotism ; and that
Sir Howard, in persecuting all who retain a s.thgle spark
of liberalism, persecutes those who are net less the friends
of his own, than of the lonian Government, such as it
ouglit to be.

I have the honour to be, yours, &c.

THE ROBBERY AT WINDSOR CASTLE.--
Tuesday afternoon Lovegrove, who is supposed to be impli-
cated in the robbery, was examined. No reporters were ad-
mitted. It is understood that from the examination of the
witnesses, nothing fixing guilt on Lovegrove was elicited. At
the conclusion of the evidence he was remanded, and will be
brought up again for examination next Monday.
A vessel employed to keep up the communica-
