FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.

Lord BEAUMONT and the Marquis of LANSDOWNE
presented petitions from societies of Oddfellows, in
Manchester and other places, praying that the pro-
visions of the Friendly Societies' Act might be ex-
tended to them.
NAVIGATION LAWS. _

The Earl of HARDWICKE then, in pursuance of
notice, proceeded to move for a Committee of Inquiry
into the operation of these laws. The Noble Marquis
(Lansdowne) had kindly intimated to him that he
should not object to the motion for the appointment
of the inquiry he proposed, but as the question
was too important, he felt that he should not dis-
charge his duty if he did not enter into some details.
These laws were so mixed up with a number of
trades, and so much diversity of opinion prevailed
upon the matter, that in that inquiry it
would be utterly impossible to legislate upon
them, because they would thereby be enabled
to obtain the opinion of competent persons.—(Hear.)
Much dissatisfaction prevailed out of doors at the
opinion of the Government with respect to these
laws. As late as the 15th of last March, the Ship-
owners' Society had been informed by the Govern-
ment that it was not their intention to interfere
with the Navigation-laws. But a change came over
the Government, for on the 23rd of November it was
first intimated that a change was intended. The
intimation was given to the people of this country,
though a correspondence that had taken place at the
time between the Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston) and
Mr. Bancroft, the American Minister. The corres-
pondence was published in the newspapers; and he
asked them if it was right that the people of England
should have first received information of the intended
change through the columns of a newspaper, and,
further, whether the Noble Lord had not violated the
laws of the country by the course he had adopted ?

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and Its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
Jibe traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, When
abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to
are productive of greater severity Of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains as accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of Welch every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their Invariable eonsequesices, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination In ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, lava-
riably characterise the intelligent aid practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his posse'sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profcei-
sional pursnits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA:MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice far many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

LYME REGIS.

The Lyme Regis Election Committee met again at
the usual hour this morning; Lord Ashley in the chair.
Mr. HILL opened the case of bribery which the sitting
Member was prepared to make out against Sir Fizroy
Kelly, the petitioner against his return. Ho said he
should be able to prove that in the case of one voter Sir
Fitzroy Kelly himself told the voter, that if he would
vote for him he (Sir Fitzroy Kelly) would remember
him after his election, remarking that he was an advo-
cate of the principle that one good turn deserved another.
He should also establish many other cases of bribery
committed on the part of the agents of Sir Fitzroy Kelly,
which he could not pass over without calling the especial
attention of the Committee to it, inasmuch as it disclosed
a novel mode of bribing a voter. It was a case of Mr.
Lund, a butcher, of Lyme Regis, who was bribed to vote
for Sir Fitzroy Kelly by the landlord of the inn Sir
Fitzroy put up at during the election, in a manner which
he had certainly never heard of before. The voter had
presented to him several heads of fine fat cattle, and
after the gift he made no secret that it was the present
which induced him to vote for Sir Fitzroy Kwlly. The
sitting Member felt assured that if he substantiated his
case, the Committee would pass such a condemnatory
resolution as should have the effect of deterring Sir
Fitzroy Kelly from resorting to these corrupt practices
in future.

SMITHFIELD.
The supply of Beasts on offer this morning was not to
say extensive as to number, but at least two-thirds of it
was of superior quality, especially as respects the arri-
vals from Norfolk and Scotland. The prevailing damp
weather caused the Beef trade to rule heavy, at a decline
in the quotations paid on Monday last of 2d per 81bs,
and a total clearance was not effected. The numbers of
foreign stock consisted of 240 Beasts, 190 Sheep, and
54 Calves, in fair average condition. With Sheep we
were again very scantily supplied, owing to which the
Mutton trade was firm, at fully the late advance in
prices. Prime small Calves were quite as dear; other-
wise the Veal trade was dull. Pigs moved off slowly,
at but little alteration in value. Mulch Cows were dull,
at from 141 to 171 each, including their small Calf.

lIYDERABAD PRIZE MONEY.

In answer to a question put by an Hon. Member,
Sir F. LEWIS said, that the distribution of the
prizemoney to the officers and seamen engaged in the
capture of Hyderabad would shortly take place.
SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE ESTIMATES.

Mr. OSBORNE gave notice that if the Select
Committee should be nominated by the Chancellor of
the Exchequer late in the evening he would oppose
the appointment.
MAILS TO THE AUSTRALIAN COLONIES.
Mr. D IVETT moved for a copy of the report of
the Hydrographer of the Admiralty, founded on
which the route through Torres Straits had been
sanctioned by the Lords of the Admiralty for large
steamers conveying the mails to the Australian colo-
nies. The immense importance of this subject demanded
the immediate attention of the Government, and,
without troubling the House further, he begged to
make the motion of which he had given notice.
Admiral DUNDAS said it was a very hard thing
that the Admiralty should be blamed for not preci-
pitately and hurriedly testing the merits of a danger-
ous passage. He was quite ready to give all the in-
formation he could afford the Hon. Member, and
nothing more could be expected of him.

Mr. HUME insisted that no chart ought to be
allowed to be published until it had been passed by
the Admiralty, and hoped Government would take
up this subject without waiting to have it forced upon
them by the House. Allusion had been made to the
fate of the Great Britain, and he could assure
the House that several of the charts taken out by that
vessel were discovered after she met with her unfor-
tunate accident to be lutist defective.
Mr. WYLD said, an immense amount of public
money had been spent in surveys conducted under
the direction of the Admiralty, but these surveys
were almost worse than useless to the public, !II
account of the trifling amounts that were spent 111
publishing the results of the surveys.
Mr. COWPER was glad the Hon. Member for
Bodmin had called the attention of the House to the
loss the public sustained through the non-publication
of the charts prepared by the officers of the Admiralty,
and he trusted when the estimates which related to
this subject came under discussion, the Hon. Member
would repeat the observations he had just made..
Until this evening he had never heard anything
uttered against the judgment of the Hydrographer ot
the Admiralty, but the character of that officer, bath.,
in a public and a professional point of view, was bell
in so much estimation that it was hardly neeessary for
him to answer the aspersions that had been throve
out against him. The Hydrographer, however, well
fully prepared to justify the opinion be had expressed
upon the subject of the best route open to steatir
vessels going to Australia, and there was, therefore,
no objection to laying (al the table of the House the
papers which the Hon. Member had moved for.
Afttr a few words from Mr. DIVETT, the motion
was agreed to.

INCREASE OF THE INCOME-TAX.

Mr. CARDWELL presented a petition from
Liverpool, which was agreed to at a public meeting,
numerously attended, presided over by the Mayor.
The petitioners stated that they viewed with alarm
and indignation the proposal of her Majesty's Govern-
ment to make an addition to the income-tax, they con-
sidered that the present revenue was sufficient to an-
swer all necessary purposes if proper economy were
used—(Hear)—and they prayed that if any deficienccy
existed, that it might be made up by a tax upon
legacies and probates to the succession of real and
personal property—(Hear, hear)—and that no addi-
tion whatever might be made to the existing burdens
on the people imposed by the income-tax.—(Hear.)
Lord DUNCAN presented a petition, agreed to at
a public meeting held in Bath, against the proposed
increase of the income-tax.

Captain BERKELEY presented a petition from
the city of Gloucester to the same effect.
; INCOME-TAX RETURNS.
Lord D. STUART gave notice of his intention to
move, upon an early day, for a number of returns
showing the number of persons paying, and the
amount paid by them, as income-tax.
Sir WILLIAM. CLAY presented a petition
against the income tax.
Mr . NEWDEGATE 'presented a petition against
the admission of Jews into Parliament.

Sir R. H. ,INGLIS presented several petitions
ao the same effect.
MURDER OF ENGLISHMEN NEAR
CANTON. I
Dr. BOWRING, seeing the :Noble Lord the Se-
cretary for Foreign Affairs in his place, he wished to
ask him whether he had received any official informa-
tion of certain outrages, ending in murder: which had
been committed on several Englishmen in the negh .
bourhood of Canton.

Lord PALMERSTON replied that he had re-
ceived an official account of the unfortunate occur-
rence, and a steam-vessel had been sent up to the
place where it happened, whose commander had
instructions to see that the proprietors of the crime
were brought to justice. Measures had also been
taken for securing protection to the property and
lives of her Majesty's British subjects residing in the
neighbourhood of Canton.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.

Tiy the operation of the same prineipies, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to h!s representatives.
be following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
through this Society.

of the former is to be deprecated as much as the
"hug" of the latter. The remedies which we have
suggested, viz., the total abolition of time bargains,
and the prohibition, under heavy penalties, of any
contract respecting shares which the party has not in
his actual possession at the time of the sale, will
equally affect both. Shareholders should avoid both
extremes with equal caution, and guard alike against
the undue expansion of prices—the over-speculation
which, in 1845, led to such injurious results—and
against the unwarranted depreciation which has oc-
casioned as much mischief in the present year.

BELGIUM.

OPENING OF THE BELGIAN CHAMBERS.
The session of the Legislative Chambers was
opened at Brussels, on the 6th instant, without a royal
speech.:M. ANSPACH, the senior Member, took the
chair. The Assembly proceeded at once to the for-
mation of their bureaux ; the retiring Members were
unanimously re-elected. The bureau, consequently,
is composed as follows :—President, M. VERRAGEN ;
Vice-Presidents, MM. DaLrossE and HENRI DE
BROUCICERE ; Secretaries, TRINDT DE NAER, Du
Bus, TRATE, and Ds LUSRMANS.
The Minister of Finance ascended the tribune and
presented the budgets of 1849 in a speech giving a
summary of the financial state of Belgium. The
economies made by the State amount to 4,400,000 f.
The ordinary session of the Senate was also opened
under the presidence ^f M. ZoODE, the senior Member.
The retiring Members were re-elected for the bureau,
with the exception of Baron DE WAIIA, who is re-
placed as secretary by Baron DB ROYER.
M. DUMON•DUMORTIER, in resuming his seat as
President, expressed his thanks for this renewed mark

HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 7.—His Majesty the KING, by
a royal decree of the 3d of November, has dissolved
the Commission of the States, charged by the decree
of the 17th of March, to present a project of the com-
plete revison of the fundamental law, and at the same
time offered his acknowledgments to this Commission
for the services which it had rendered to their King
and country.
His Majesty, by the same decree, has appointed
Messrs. DERR, PONKER, CURTIUS DH KIIIPENAJP.
RAND, L. L. LUXAC, Commanders of the Order of the
Netherlands Lion, and Messrs. L. 1). STonat and
J. H. TRORBECRE, Couneillors of State on extraor-
dinary service. These gentlemen are all members
of the Commission of the States.

The promulgation of the modified fundamental law
took place on the 3d, with all the solemnity of a national
fete. The public buildings, the residence of the Minis-
ter, and a great number of private houses, were deco-
rated with flags and national colours ; and the bells of
the great church rang a merry peal during the day.
The numerous preparations which were made indicated
that in the evening there would be a very brilliant
illumination; but, unhappily, a pouring rain, which
did not cease throughout the whole night, prevented
this favourite popular demonstration of rejoicing.
Notwithstanding the unfavourable weather consi-
derable crowds moved to and fro in the streets and
public squares, which, throughout, presented a most
animated aspect.

The north fa fade of the Palace of the KING was
brilliantly and tastefully illuminated with gas; the
band of the regiment of Grenadiers and Chasseurs,
placed in one of the Gothic towers, at intervals per-
formed brilliant pieces and national airs.
Between the two towers, the words " Gon is met
Neederland" (" Gon is with the Netherlands") showed
brilliantly. On the open space round the statue of
William the Taciturn, an illumination inj wreaths
had a remarkable fine appearance, and an orchestra
was erected where the band of the Communal
Guard performed throughout the evening the na-
tional airs, and several fine pieces of music. Various
hotels and private houses were illuminated, especially
on the Voorhout, where the words " Orange et
Petrie" were blazoned in gas.

At the National Theatre, which was crowded, the
' manager read some verses, entitled " The Third of
November," which were received with the most lively
applause by the whole audience.
Thus this memorable day, which cannot fail to ex-
ercise a most happy influence on the future welfare
of our country, was celebrated with great festivity.

The Waal; Courant states that the Plenipoten-
tiaries of his Majesty the King of the NETHERLANDS
and her Majesty the QUEEN of Great Britain, agreed
on the 31st of August, 1848, respecting additional
articles to the treaty concluded at the Hague on the
4th of May, 1818, respecting the slave trade, and that
the views of both Governments on these additional
articles were exchanged on the 24th October. The
Starts Courant gives these articles at full length.—
