PETITION! PETITION! ! PETITION'!
AT a SPECIAL MEETING- of the COUN-
CIL of the NATIONAL AN 11-CORN-LAW LEAGUE,
held on THURSDAY, January 29, 1846, it was unanimously resolved—
• That the announcement of a new Cm-It-law rerders it desirable
that the friends of .Free Trade throughout the kingd)m should be in-
vited to originate Petitions for the Total and Immediate Abolition
of all Laws imposing Duties on Foreign Corn and Provisions."
By order of the Council,
JOSEPH HICKIN, Seeretary.
Manchester, Jan. 29, 1846.

TO THE ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTER.
Gentlemen,—When I so recently had the honour of ad-
dressing you, in answer to an unfoundoil rumour, I had no idea
that circumstances would so soon again place me before you.

It is my duty now to announce to you that, by the gracious favour
of my Sovereign, I have been called upon to take part in the execu-
tive administration of that service which was the one of my early
adoption, and to which I have ever continued ardently attached.
By my appointment as one of the Lords of the Admiralty, I have
vacated the representation of Westminster.
I again most respectfully solicit the renewal of that honour at your
hands.

My political principles have been so recently laid before you, that
their repetition here, is unnecessary ; they are, as I am, unchanged,
and the event which has occurred, honourable as it is to myoelf,
will not, I trust, be deemed by my constituents unweleome to
themselves.
I accept my official duties with a determination to fulfil them to
the utmost of my capacity, never, however, forgetting those which I
owe to the great city which I agent seek to represent.
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your faithful Friend and Servant

THE HYGEIAN OR MORISONIAN SYSTEM OF MEDICINE.
1. All animal bodies consist of fluids and solids.
2. While in a state of embryo all animals consist entirely of fluids.
3. It is from and by the fluids that the solids are formed.
C The fluids contained in the human body are four times tbe
weight of the solids.
51The chief of the fluids is the blood, from which all the others
d are erived.
6, The blood not only repairs every part of the human machine,
but: also carries with it all the rubbish, or decayed parts, to be depo-
sited in the intestines, previous to being expelled along with the
excrement.
7'. The blood is the life—the primum mobile—the first agent—
from which all others derive their origin.
8, Health depends upon the purity of the blood.
g. The purity of the blood depends upon its having free outlets for
its decayed particles.
10. Disease is induced by the choking up of these outlets in the
bowels, by reason of an accumulation of glary mucous on the inner
surface of the intestines, &c.
11. This accumulation is oceasioned by anything that weakens the
circulation or hurts digestion, but chiefly by the poisonous drugs and
had treatment of the faculty.
12. The impurities thus detained in the blood occasion every spe-
cies of disease, according to the quality of the humour, or the parti •
cular locality in which it is lodged.
13. Ali diseases proceed from one source, therefore they must all
be cured by one medicine.
14. This medicine must be a vegetable purgative, innoxious in it-
self, yet sufficiently powerffil to pervade the whole system, clear
avfay the above-mentioned mucous, and purify the blood.
15. The discovery of a vegetable compound, capable of being di-
•gested, and mixing with the blood, so as to impart to it that energy
requisite for ridding the body of all superfluous humours was a
desideratum.
'l6. This discovery has been made by James Morison, the tlygeist,
in the composition of the Vegetable Universal Medicine (commonly
known as Morison's Pills), of the British College of Health, Hamil-
tOn-place, New•road, London.

watches from Mr. Sharpe, the deputy-warden, and made a
careful assay of those portions of watches. In one bottom
there • was one grain and seven-eighths of a grain below
the standard; that was a grain of a pound troy. There was
a wire 1 carat and 1% grains below the standard. The
other wires and bottoms were also below the standard. The
difference, on an average, would be 4s. 4d. an ounce. A grain
of gold, according to the Mint value of gold, was of the value
of 2d. According to that calculation the deficiency in one
of the cases would be Is. 2d.
This closed the case for the Crown.
Mr, MARTIN then addressed the jury for the defence. He
apprehended that he would be able to establish beyond a
doubt that the conduct of his clients in the matter was
most proper, and he was fully confident that he would by
the evidence he would bring forward obtain their verdict.
The Company at Chester were a very 0161 established Com-
pany', having been established since the time of William 111.,
and in consequence of some circumstances, which he detailed,
it was stated that the object of that prosecution was the
remdval of the assay-office from Chester to Liverpool.
He proceeded to say that gold from which cases of watches
were made was in the proportion of of pure gold and *of
alloy, or 18 carats tine, and to ascertain that articles were
made of that standard assayists were appointed. Hs stood
upon the evidence then of Mr. Jones alone, who was
brought forward on behalf of the prosecution, and he
would prove from his evidence that there was nothing
whatever in the whole transaction derogatory to the
character of his clients. He would, besides, have
the evidence of Duke and the evidence of Roe, that the wires
with
t htahte
f Mr. standard,Fuller,
e andr on h
and bottoms' were originally assayed and found not to be

otcontrastth e
prosecution, their evidence
being
perfectly confident that, even if a trifling mistake were made,
it would be one which under the circumstances could not re-
-IlecO any discredit on his clients.
A'ter a brief discussion, at this stage of the proceedings,
betireen the Attorney-General and Mr. Martin, it was
Livt:llatitgrdeed to submit the whole case to be disposed of.

!ENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.

(Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.)
William Plowman, Edward Plowman, brothers, were in-
dicted for stealing a quantity of plate, the property of a
gentleman named Gremble, the master of the last-mentioned
prisoner.
Mr. Ballentine, and Mr. Wilde, were for the prosecution,
anal Mr. Prendergast, and Mr. Clarkson defended the pri-
soners.
As the case was very recently detailed in the police reports,
it will be unnecessary to report the facts on the present oc-
casion.
The jury found both prisoners Guilty, and they were
sentenced to be transported for seven years.
The Court adjourned at its rising, to Monday, Feb. 23.

RICHMOND RAILWAY.

The ordinary half-yearly general meeting of this Cotnpan,
was held yesteday at the London Tavern, for the transaction
of the ordinary business of the Company. Wm. Chadwick,
Esq., was in the chair.
The advertisement calling the meeting having been read
by the Secretary,
The CHAIRMAN said that the prospects of the Company
were most encouraging. The branch lines from the railway
had already passed the standing orders—( Hear, hear)—and
the reports would fully explain the position in which they
stood. The report of the engineer would also be read, and if
any gentleman chose to ask any question, he should be very
ready to answer him as far as he could.
The following report was then read :
" The directors, in meeting the proprietors on the present
occasion, have much pleasure in reporting that considerable
progress has been made in carrying out the powers of the
Act authorising the construction of this railway, and that
the present position of the Company's affairs, both as regards
the early completion of the line, and the cost of formation, is
very satisfactory.
" In consequence of the rapidity with which the works
have proceeded, the directors, have found it necessary to
avail themselves of the powers given to them by the pro-
prietors in August last. and a second call of 51. has been
made on the shareholders of this Company, which is in a
satisfactory course of payment.
"The necessary preparations have been duly made to en-
able the Company to apply for an Act in the present session
of Parliament to construct a branch line to Kew-bridge,
which, when carried into effect, must add considerably to the
revenue of this Company, as the population of Brentford and
the neighbourhood, and the visitors to the gardens, will ne-
cessarily bring a large increase of passenger traffic.
" The treasurer's account showed that there were deposits
to await the settlement of claims for land of 14,631/. ; cash
at the bankers', &c., 13,905/. las. lid.—total, 28,536/. 13s. 14d.
ENGINEER'S REPORT.
" TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE RICHMOND RAILWAY COMPANY.
" Gentlemen,—For the information of the proprietors at
the approaching meeting, I beg to inform you that since the
contract was made with Mr. Knill, for the execution of all
the works on this railway, considerable progress has been
made towards their completion. The viaduct across the
Wandle, and the cutting at Putney, being the only works of
magnitude on the line, attention was first directed to them,
and the progress has been very satisfactory. The viaduct is
more than half built, and more than one-half of the excava-
tion of the entire line has been removed. Several over-
bridges between Putney and Barnes'-common have been
built, and the lighter earthwork and bridges are proceeding
as rapidly as is needibl.
" The only part not begun is at Richmond end, but here
the line will be formed, nearly on the surface of the ground,
and a few months will suffice for completing it after posses-
sion of the land is obtained.
" The line may be completed by June next; and if you
were disposed to push, there is no reason why it should not be
accomplished earlier. The works are not heavy, and delay
could only arise from our inability to obtain possession of
the land, or from a succession of bad weather; under any
circumstances you will not be wrong in calculating on the
opening in June.—l am, &c. " JOSEPH LOCKE."

Resolutions conforming to the report were then agreed to,
and the meeting broke up.

LONDON and BRIGHTON RAILWAY
MEETING OF PROPRIETORS.
The usual half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this
Company was held Yesterday, at the London-bridge ter imnus.
The meeting was also a special one, for the purpose of sanc-
tioning or rejecting the formation of several branch lines, con-
sitting of the Croydon and Wandsworth branch, the Reigate
and Dorking branch, the East Grinstead branch, the Little
hampton branch, the Bognor branch, the Steyning branch,
the Newhaven and Seaford branch, the Eastbourne branch,
the Hailsham branch, the Lewes and Keymer branch devia-
tion; and also for other purposes, specified in the advertise-
ment. There was a large attendance of proprietors. Row-
land Hill, Esq. (the Chairman), took the chair at one o'clock
precisely. After the secretary had read the advertisement,
The CHAIRMAN said that it would not be necessary
for him to address them at any length in consequence
of the fulness of the report (which the meeting decided
need not be read by the secretary, in consequence of
its having been distributed amongst the shareholders
previously to the chair
it the
taken.) The 6th of February
had arrived, and with the downfal of the three proposed
schemes—the Dorking, Arundel, and Brighton Atmospheric,
the Tunbridge Wells and Lewes line, and the Epsom and
Dorking line, which was proposed by certain parties in oppo-
sition to a Bill which had been brought forward by the
friends of the Croydon Company. With respect to the
branches of this Company, the Wandsworth and East
Grinstead had passed the Standing Orders' Committee.
The Reigate and Dorking line had, however, been
thrown out in consequence of some technical error. The
remaining branches or lines had not yet come before the
Committee, but they would in all probability go before the
Standing Orders' Committee that day. With the view of
furthering the interests of the public and the Company, the
directors had during the past half-year reduced the fares and
accelerated the speed of travelling on this Company's line.
—(Cheers.) The present depressed price of the shares
of this. Comppny was equivalent to a twenty-five
years' purchase on the dividend. That fact arose
from an anticipated increase in the dividend, which antici-
pation, he doubted not, would be fully realised.—(Hear,
hear.) The directors were determined to do everything
which would make the line more attractive to the public,
who were, in his opinion, not properly aware of the cheap-
