THE POPE AND THE PRINCE DE

JOINVILLE.

A letter from Rome, published in the Semaphore of
Marseilles, gives the following details on the subject of
the presents exchanged between the Pope and the Prince
de Joinville:—
" His Holiness has presented to the Prince the com-
plete collection of the engravings of the pontifical chal-
cography, representing all the ancient and modern monu-
ments of Rome. The value of this collection is estimated
at 6,000 f. To this his Holiness has added two alabaster
vases, which had attracted the Prince's notice, and which
are formed of the magnificent alabaster sent to Gregory
XVI. by Mehemet Ali. The Pope also presented to him
chaplets for the Queen and the Princesses. That for
her Majesty is of great value. The box containing these
latter objects was brought to the French embassy by his
Holiness himself. The presents made by the Prince
were not less magnificent than those given by the Duke
d'Aumale, on his visit to Rome. The family of the Pope
(for such is the designation given to the household)
received from the Prince 1,000 Roman crowns (5,500 f.)
All the Roman personages who visited his Royal High-
ness received souvenirs suitable to their social position.
The objects given by the Prince were all in gold, and
enriched with diamonds. The servants of the embassy
received- 1,200 f. The presents made by the Prince are
estimated at 40,000 f. He has left with his Holiness, as
with every one who has seen him, the most agreeable
impression, and he is now the subject of general con-
versation."

Viscount Palmerston came to town at lan early
hour on Saturday morning from Broadlans, Hants,
having the previous day received highly important dis-
patches from his Excellency Mr. Bulwer, at Madrid.
The Noble Viscount was busily engaged up to the even-
ing, when his Lordship returned to_his seat near Romsey,
by the railway to Southampton.

STRAND THEATRE.

The unparalleled success of Mr. GREGORY as " Glo'ster," in
" Richard the Third," stamps him (in addition to his triumph in
Ilamlet" and " Othello") as the only truly great actor since
the days of Edmund Kean. The Theatre is nightly crowded by
the elite of the fashionable and intellectual world, and is hushed
with breathless attention, or re-echoing with enthusiastic and
deafening plaudits.

CAPTAIN ROUS and the ELECTORS

OF WESTMINSTER.
The following letter has been addressed by Capt.
,tin Rous
to his constituents :
"TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WESTMDTST.Eit.
"Gentlemen,—A report having been circulated that, is the
event of an election, it is not my intention to solicit" your
suffrages, I beg leave most respectfully to inform you that
there is no foundation for such a rumour.
"Since my election in 1841, I have been anxious to de-
serve, and I trust I have not forfeited, the general confidence
you then reposed in me.
_

" In the Considerations of questions Affecting your local in-
terests, I have been (as I feel at the close of a contest a re-
presentative ought to be) cheerfully accessible to all classes
of my constituents, without distinction of party.
"To the general foreign and domestic policy of Sir Robevt
Peel I have given that support which was due to the prin-
ciples under which I was first introduced to your notice, re-
serving to myself, however, that freedom of thought and
action which a large and intelligent constituency, interested
more in the success of good measures than in the existence
of a Minister, have a right to expect in their representative.
" Upon one or two occasions, impelled by my conviction
of the advantages to be derived from an unrestricted trade
with our colonies, and of the necessity of meeting the de-
mand for food of an annually increasing population, by
withdrawing the restrictions upon its supply, my course
has been in advance of that adopted by Sir Robert Peel, but
I was at the time actuated by the belief that I was taking
those broad views best suited to the large interests I repre-
sented, and I have now the satisfaction of finding them
adopted by the statesman with whom I differed only in these
particulars.
" I need hardly add, as J have stated in my place in the
House of Commons, that the large and comprehensive mea-
sure of Sir Robert Peel will have my cordial support, and I
shall give it in the reliance that when the time shall arrive
for my again Aoliciting your confidence, the open course
which I have pursued will meet your kind sanction and ap-
proval.—l have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, your faith-
ful servant, " HENRY JOHN ROUS, Captain R.N.

ANOTHER EXTRAORDINAY CURE of an
ASTHMATIC COUGH by

DR. LOCOCK'S PULMONIC WAFERS
Communicated by Mr. J. Waterhouse, surgeon, &C., Broad-street,

Halifax, dated April 1, 1645.
"A female residing in Halifax had long been subject to a con-
firmed Asthmatic Cough, when her husband applied to me. He said
he was persuaded she could not live many days, as from cough and
want of rest she was so much enfeebled ; and the use of medicine,
in which she had persevered for many months, had given her ne
relief. The very first dose of the Wafers soothed her tough, and
gave her sconsfortable and refreshing sleep ; and by persevering in
their use, her strength has returned ; and without the aid of any
other medicine, this patient, who had been a long, and apparently
hopeless sufferer, is now fully restored to health. This case I can
vouch for, and can satisfy any inquiries by reference to the parties.—
Yours, &c., " J. WATganousE."
DR. LOCOCK'S WAFERS give instant relief and a rapid cure of
Asthma, Coughs, and all Disorders of the lireath and Lungs. They
have a most pleasant taste. Price Is. 114 d., 2s. 9d., and 11s. per

BRITANNIA, December 27, 1845

This wonderful annual continues to keep pace with the times,
fast as they move. It now numbers upwards of 2,000 closely-
printed pages, this immense mass of matter being so judiciously
classified and arranged that any item of it can be picked out with-
out the loss of a minute expended in the search. From the con-
nexion of the Proprietor with the Post-office, lie is enabled to
collect his information frontthe most authentic sources, and (a great
advantage) to combine it simultaneously. Some objection has been
made to the letter-carriers being employed for this service ; but,
independentrof all other considerations, it is certain that the Post-
office must be greatly advantaged by the publication, both from
letters being directed moro accurately, with this book as a guide,
and front its always being at hand ready for reference in cases of
doubt. The volume has all the merits of its predecessors ; displays,
like them, the utmost care in every department; and as a work of
reference for the merchant, trader, or any person engaged in busi-
ness in London, leaves nothing to be desired. It is one of the most
remarkable examples of great Industry, intelligence, and capital
being suce.essiblly employed in the production of a work for facili-
tating the operations of business and extending trading intercourse,
that the age, fertile as it is in ingenious Inventions, affords. Of its
kind, it is 4.5 near perfection as it seems possible for any work to be
brought.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir.—A lung letter from. General Pasley, of the Board
of Trade, Inspector-General of Railways, on various
matters connected with railways, especially as to the
construction of engines, appears in your paper of to-day.
The Inspector-General's letter is avowedly to correct
errors in the report of statements made by him at the
coroner's inquest lately held at Thetford; but among
other general remarks on points connected with rail-
Nays, the Inspector-General thinks fit to prejudge the
inferences to be drawn from the late experiments on en-
gines of the broad and narrow gauges.
The parties interested in the narrow gauge, who were
commanded by the Commiessioners to undertake the ex-
periments, desire me to explain that they were made for
the information of the gauge commissioners—to
whom, and not to the Inspector-General, the doci•
sion of the question of gauge—including, therefore,
the inferences to be drawn from the late experi-
ments—are referred by her Majesty ; and that
consequently, the correct and authentic report of
these experiments has been put into the hands of the
gauge Commissioners only. They further desire me to
say, that the reports which have been published in the
newspapers, from the omission of essential facts, do not
afford the means of deducing from the experiments any
correct inference as to the issue of the question to de-
termine which they were made.
The parties at whose request I write are, therefore,
they believe, in possession of more precise information
as to these experiments than is possessed by General
Pasley, who, though present at the experiments on the
broad gauge, was, it is to be remarked, not present at the
experiments on the narrow • but respect to the Commis-
sioners, under whose consideration the matter still rests,
prevents them from saying more than that they them-
selves feel satisfied that a correct statement of the whole
facts connected with the experiments leads to a directly
opposite conclusion to that expressed by General Pasley,
and that the results of the experiments, as far as they
prove anything, tend to confirm in every respect the
evidence (derived from long experience) which his been
laid before the Commissioners in favour of the efficiency,
as regards safety, speed, command of power, economy,
and convenience, of the engine which the narrow gauge
admits of, as compared with those which the broad gauge
admits of.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant,

_
POTTSMoI/70, Al*NDAy.—The Prince Albert, a splendid
American line.of-packei, ship of 1,000 tons, Captain Sebor,
will sail this evening (wind continuing favourable) for New
York. Captain Sebor and the passengers have embarked.
The Scourge steam bomb-Tesse;, Commander Caffiu, has
come down so low in the water sinu she has shipped her
fuel and ammunition, that it has been found necessary to
put on another streak of copper, which has bean done.
The Netley tender is ordered to Plymouth with super-
numeraries for the vessels fitting out there.
The Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Pretty-
man, has been examined by the engineer department, and
will proceed to-day to Devonport with supernumeraries.
The Mercury tender, Master-Commander Scarlett, sailed
to-day for Plymouth with supernumeraries.
The Rattler steam-sloop, Commander Smith, came into
harbour again yesterday, after trying her new screw (Wood-
croft's) at Spithead.
Further shell practice was continued from the Excellent
this morning at the steam funnel, which now presents a
very torn and shattered appearance, as does the bed on
which it is fixed. It is considered that neither shell nor
shot will, under ordinary circumstances, do any very great
damage to a steamer's funnel, as shot go direct through the
iron, and shells do not explode on striking it, passing
through it as shot, and merely creating a larger perfo-
ration.

LONDON, THURSDAY. JANUARY 29, 1846.

The House of Lords did not sit yesterday.

The Commons fret at Twelve.

Several petitions having been presented,
Mr. GISBORNE brought forward the motion of which
he had given notice, for an alteration in regard to the
manner in which railway Bills are introduced to the
House. The object of the proposal was to authorise the
Committee, on the petition for a railway Bill, to report
whether upon any, and upon what, condition the stand-
ing orders in relation to such Bill might be dispensed
with—to enable the House, where any one Member of
the Committee (not being the Chairman) departed from
such report, to take it into consideration, without refer-
ring it to the Standing Orders' Committee, and to enable
the promoters of railway Bills to be heard by counsel
before the Standing Orders' Committee. His object was
to give the people an opportunity of knowing the reasons
on which the Committee founded its decisions ; and
without such knowledge their decisions would never be
respected. He objected to these secret decisions of Se-
cret Committees, and he thought the Standing Order
Committee should give its decision publicly, and should
hear the arguments of counsel as to the matter which
they were called to adjudicate.
Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET opposed the motion, as
one likly to entail great expense on the landed proprie-
tors who opposed railway Bills, and who would have
to employ counsel to appear for them before the Stand-
ing Orders' Committee.
Mr. GrsnonNE was sorry to find the motion resisted.
Mr. STRUTT must oppose the motion, as its effect
would be to place the Committee on Standing Orders
and the Committees on railway Bills in opposition to
each other.

After a few words from Mr. GISBORNE, the motion
was withdrawn.

Mr. WODEHOUSE moved for returns relating to the
poor-rates, highway-rates, and county-rates.
Mr. ETWALL gave notice, for 10th February, of a
motion on the subje,:t of the Andover Union.
On the order of the day for the second reading of the
Public Works (Ireland) Bill being read,
Sir T. FREMANWLE intimated his intention to bring in
a measure to amend the system of valuation in Ireland.
Mr. HUME opposed the motion, because the Bill was

T.Sir FREMANTLE explained that the measure did not
alter the existing law.
Mr. O'CONNELL would not oppose the motion, but
reserved to himself the right of suggesting alterations at
a future stage
After a short discussion, in which Sir R. FERGUSON,
Mr. S. CRAWFORD, Sir H. W. BARRON, Mr. M. AIILNES,
Mr. F. FRENCH, and Colonel CONOLLY, took part, the
Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com-
mitted to-morrow.

THE GAI:iIE LAWS.

Mr. BRIGHT g lye notice that, on Monday next, he
would move the re-appointment of the Committee or
the game-laws.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.--THE

MILITIA.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that, as his Right Hon.
Friend had given notice of his intention to move that tht
House at its rising do adjourn till Monday, in his ab-
sence he would move, therefore, that the House at in,
rising do adjourn till Monday next.
On the question being put from the Chair,
Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE rose to ask a questioi
respecting the embodiment of the militia. Tin
country had been led to understand that an embodi-
ment of the militia would take place on an early day,
and great excitement and alarm in consequence pre-
vailed as to the manner in which, and time when, this
raising of the force would take place. Clubs were form
big to find substitutes for those who might be drawn,
and, in many instances, associations of persons were
forming to protect parties in offering passive resistance
to the service. What he wanted to know was, whether
an early embodiment of the militia was to tak,
place, and whether it was to be made under the
present law, or that a new one was to be introduced
if a Bill WIIS to be introduced, he hoped it would be dont
on an early day,

part of the Government, to introduce .a Bill for' tie em-

would be considerable amendments on the present law.

ANTI-MILITIA MEETING.

NEWCASTLE, TUESDAY, JAN. 27.—This evening a public
meeting was held in the Lecture-room, for the purpose of
adopting measures to induce the Government to abandon
its intention of enrolling the militia. The attendance was
yery large.
,con,;than Priestman, Esq., presided ; and after a number
of speeches by local Dissenting ministers and others, the
subjoined memor;,al was agreed to without the slightest op-
position
To the Right Hon. Sir A. Peel, First Lord of the Trea-
sury, &c., and the other htWourable members of her Ma-
jesty's Government—the Memorial of a public meeting
of the inhabitants of the borough of Newcastle-upon-
Tyne humbly showeth,
" That your memorialists have learned with the most
sincere regret that it is the intention of her Majesty's Govern-
ment to embody the militia.
" Your memorialists seriously apprehend that such plea-
sure would operate injuriously in various respects.
" That by exciting the jealousy and suspicion of foreign
powers, diffusing military tastes and habits amongst the
people, and rendering it more easy to engage in war, it would
tend to produce the evil which it is desired to prevent.
" That it would exert an unfavourable influence on public
morals by withdrawing a large number of young men
from the guidance and oversight of their parents and con-
nexions, and that it would tend materially to retard the
general prosperity by diminishing the powers of productive
industry.
" That by a consequent increase of taxation, it would bear
hardly on the whole community, and it would inflict peculiar
hardships on those classes which, having no direct voice in
the representation, have the stronger claim to the considera-
tion of those in powor.
" That by the introduction of compulsory military service,
it would afford a dangerous precedent for a positive en-
croachment on civil liberty, and that, in the case of those
who conscientiously disapprove of war, it would present a
violation of the rights of conscience unworthy of our age aid
country.

" In conclusion, your memorialists would respectfully sub-
mit these views to your serious consideration, and earnestly
request that a measure, replete with so maw evils, may not
be carried into effect."

COLLEGE OF HEALTH
NE W-RO LONDON.
THE HYGEIAN OR MORISONIAN SYSTEM OF MEDICINE.
I. 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.
4. The fluids contained in the human body are four times the
weight of the solids.

5. The chief of the fluids is the blood, from which all the others
are derived.

6. The blood not only repairs every part of the human machine,
but also carries vrith 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.
9. 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 occasioned by anything that weakens the
circulation or hurts digestion, but chiefly by the poisonous drugs and
bad treatment of the faculty.

12. The impurities thus detained in the blood occasion every spe-
cies of disease, according to the quality of the honour, er the part!.
cular locality in which it is lodged.
13. All 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; 7et sufficiently powerful to pervade the whole system, clear
away the t-.2)ove-mentioned mucous, and purify the blood.
15. The disccjery
of a vegetable compound, capable of being di-
gested, and mixhig the blood, so as to impart to it that energy
requisite for ridding th 6 body of all superfluous humours was a
desideratum.
16. This discovery has been made by James Morison, the llygeist,
in the compo3ition of the Vegetable Uaiversal Medicine (commonly
known as klorison's Pills), of the British College:of Health, Hamil-
ton-place, New-road, London.
