men more examples of temperance than they had hitherto
done.

THE POST-OFFICE.

Mitchell respecting the alleged abuses in the Post-office (pre-
sented 6th of August) be printed with the Votes.

Mr. PROTHEROE asked what redress the petitioner
sought ; and was it the intention of the Hon. Member who pre-
sented the petition to ground any motion on it?
Mr. DUNCOMBE said that it was his intention to call the
attention of the House to the allegations contained in the pe-
tition.

The motion was then agreed to.
Captain PECHELL moved that the petition of the Rev.
Newton Kyme,(presented August 6) be printed with the Votes.

act as a salutary warning to youth and maturity, and by its perusal

BILL..

On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, this Bill went
through Committee.
JOINT-STOCK BANKS IN SCOTLAND.

The Earl of CLARENDON moved the second reading
of the Joint- Stock Banks (Scotland) Bill.
The Earl of EGLINTOUN said he would not con-
tinue his opposition to the Bill, because the Scottish
bankers had withdrawn theirs. He still, however, re-
tained his opposition to anv interference with the present
system of banking in Scotland.

The Earl of RADNOR said he thought that the
system of banking in both countries might be assimn-
lated ; but when the system carried on in Scotland gave
universal satisfaction to the people of Scotland, and the
system pursued here worked anything but satisfactorily,
he thought it would be wrong to assimilate a good
system with a bad one. The Scotch system gave
that satisfaction for a period of one hundred and fifty
years; and the introduction of an altered system must
lead to confusion. He was not surprised at the cir-
cumstance which led to the Noble Lord's withdrawal
of his opposition, namely, the bankers no longer offer-
ing any opposition, because it would give them a
monopoly.
Lord CAMPBELL said that the present Bill had
been for upwards of twelve months under consideration
by the late Government, so that no new principle was
introduced. That system had been found to work
well in this country, for notwithstanding what had
been said it had had the effect, during the mania for
speculation, to prevent spurious banks being got up. He
would, therefore, support the second reading of the Bill.
The Earl of EGLINTON explained his opinions
with respect to the principle, not only of the present
measure, but former banking Bills.
The Bill was then read a second time.
CHESTER RETURNING OFFICER'S BILL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, in compliance with
the notice he had given on Thursday last, moved the
third reading of this Bill.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed.

spot pointed :out by the authorities, and placed under
the inspection of a medical man ; the house, after being
ventilated, purified, and well cleaned out, must remain
empty for a month at least.

should the distemper break out in several lioues
the same line of conduct must be adopted for each.
" If a whole town were invaded by a pestilential i‘pi-
demic the same measures should be resorted to on a
larger scale with the utmost severity, but the principle
should not be altered.

" Having thus fulfilled its duties by establishing the
medical facts which are to be the groundwork of a
reform, the Commission has ended its task by drawing
up a summary of the principal applications which are
to be made of the scientific results to which it has come.
" It has not failed remarking, that by leaving to the
Intendance Sanitiire of the various places the faculty of
ascribing the business of their members, as well as the
practical details in the application of the doctrines
hitherto adopted, the central authority has in reality
intrusted to these persons all the active part of the
sanitury police, and has submitted to their arbitrary
authority all ships, passengers, and goods.
" The question on the means to be employed 'by the
country, in order to preserve itself from the plague, is
obviously a general one. There can be no doubt as to
the propriety of consulting the towns which are the most
exposed to the introduction of the disease; their experi-
ence and traditions are not to be overlooked; but it is
the central authorities, enlightened by the opinions of
the most competent men, that must prescribe under the
form of ordinances, regulations, or instructions, not only
the general principles, but even. the smallest details of
the sanitory regulations."

AND lIIILICENNEAD =NOTION:

-- -
The CITAII27IAN said, that as the traffic proved to exist on the last
line would apply to the present, he did not think it Would be neces-
sary to give any evidence on that head.
Mr. Sergeant WEANGHAM then opened the case for the Bill. He
said it was promoted and opposed by the same parties as the preceding
Bill. It was intended by the promoters to construct a line from Old-
ham to Manchester to Join with the Manchester and Birkenhead
Railway, and consequently opening a direct communication between
Oldham and Manchester, as well as between Oldham and the docks
at Birkenhead. The length of the 1:1119 Wag 7 miles 38 chains, and

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

The chemical lecturer to this establishment, Dr. Ryan,
has been engaged during the past week in delivering a
course of lectures on the application of chemistry to the
various arts and manufactures, such as glass-making, &c.
In one of these lectures the Doctor illustrated a method
of cutting and boring glass by common iron instruments,
employing, however, a solution of camphor and tur-
pentine, instead of the usual preparations, such as emery,
sulphate of copper, &c. By keeping the instrument
moistened with the camphorated turpentine the Doctor
showed that glass might be cut and bored as readily as
any of the metals. This is a secret well worth know-
ing, and we cannot avoid expressing our thanks to the
learned lecturer, who thus prominently has explained to
the world a matter of such moment. This Institution,
we are exceedingly sorry to hear, experienced great
damage from the late thunder storm. The expense of
repairs, we hear, exceeded a hundred pounds.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—The Ethiopian Serenaders
took their benefit last night, at this house, after an engage-
ment of seven months. After the performances Mr. Mitchell
was presented, by the party, with a very valuable gold
watch, as a slight token of esteem.
OXFORD, THURSDAY.—There is a report that George
Jelf, Esq., barrister-at-law, has acceded to the wishes of the
Tory electors, and will be put in nomination to succeed Mr.
Donald Maclean in the representation of this city, as soon as
the resignation of the latter arrives and a writ can be pro-
cured. The Liberal party are also on the alert, and as the
registration is highly favourable little doubt exists of the
issue. A meeting of the Whig party will take place to-night
at the Wheatsheaf Inn, and measures for securing the seat to
a Liberal will be resolved on. It is said that Mr. Jelf has
taken an active part in defeating the efforts of the inhabitants
of this city to form a General Cemetery,for all classes, by
using the influence ho possesses as secretary to the Church
Building Society, which has lent its aid to a rival scheme of
parochial burial-grounds. His connexion also with the
University is an additional ground of objection, and will con-
tribute to secure his defeat, should he be induced to stand.
by a large majority.

ANOTHER SURPRISING CURE OF ASTHMA BY
DR. LOCOCK'S PULMONIC WAFERS.
The declaration of J. Wright, coachman, Hockley, near Dor-
king, Surrey.

" January 16,1845,

"My wife laboured under an asthma for upwards of foul' years ;
she had the best advice to be procured, and without receiving the
least benefit, but, on the contrary, she continued to get worse ; her
suffering from her breathing and cough was dreadful, and I never
expected she could possibly recover. The first week she commenced
taking Locock's Wafers she found more relief than from anything
she had ever tried before ; and she is now, in the midst of winter, as
free from cough or ailment as ever she was in her life ; in fact, she
is perfectly cured. I shall be happy to reply to any inquires on the
subject."
Dr. LOCOCK'S WAFERS give instant relief and a rapid cure of
asthma, coughs, and all disorders of the breath and lungs.
To SINGERS and PUBLIC SPEAKERS they are invaluable for
clearing and strengthening the voice ; they have a most pleasant
taste. Price la. 1.V., 25. 9d., and lit grbox. Agents—Da Silva

OLD ENGLAND'S WORTHIES.

James I. (that choice bardprisoner, in the dungeon
at Windsor Castle), Henry VI. (that weak and feeble
monarch, familiar wore with rosaries than sceptres),
Wolsey (that problem of party-feeling, by one regarded
as the Cardinal-virtue, by another as the Cardinal-vice
of his age)—these and others, afford excellent materials
tor the Second Part of Old England's Worthies. The
biographical condensations are judiciously managed, and
the tone of narration is admirably impartial. When
completed, the volume will be an invaluable companion
to our native history.

SIR ROBERT PEEL AND THE

CORPORATION OF NOTTINGHAM.
The Mayor of Nottingham has received the following
reply to a communication addressed by him on the part of
the Corporation of that town, expressing their approval of
the Premier's free-trade policy :
" Whitehall, Feb. 5, 1846.
"Sir,—l am highly gratified by the communication you
hare made to me by direction of the Town Council of Not-
tingham, and will make it known to my colleagues in the
service of her Majesty.
" I sincerely hope that the measures which it has been my
duty to propose, on the part of the Government, will, if
sanctioned by Parliament, conduce to the prosperity of the
town of Nottingham an the comfort and happiness of its
inhabl. ants.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient
servant, "ROBERT PEEL.

---
There were petitions against this Bill from the owners 01
the land through which the line was to pass, stating that
dae notice had not been given in the London Gazette.
The Committee resolved not to enter on the petitions to-day,
and adjourned, at four o'clock, till twelve o'clock to-morrow.

Sub• Commit tee, No. 3.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)

HAVTICZ EIZANC2II4IS.

This was another petition of the North British Railway,
for leave to bring in a Bill to make a number of branches
from their Ilawick line, the estimated cost of which was
770,000/.

The Committee took an objection to the plans, inasmuch
as they did not correspond with the petition for the Bill. tly
the petition the Company sought for powers to make a branch
from Torwood Lee to Selkirk, while the plans deposited were
fbr a branch from a place called Rink to Selkirk.
Mr. Miller, the engineer of the line, explained that so
much of the branch as lay between Torwood Lee and Rink
had already been sanctioned by the Legislature, and, there-
fore, it was abandoned in the present instance.
The Committee complained that this discrepancy between
the petition and the plans was calculated to mislead the
public, and they trusted that in future the promoters of Bills
would make the titles of their lines in their petitions and
plans correspond. The decision of the Committee in this
ease Tr as the same as that in the last.

CILIMISLE ILICTEIIISXONS.
This was another petition of the North British Railway
C)mpany, for leave to bring in a Bill to construct their Car-
lisle Extensions, the estimated colt of which was 660,000/.
The customary formal proofs 'having been gone through, the
Committee informed the parties that their decision in the
former case would apply to this also.
These were the three Bills included in the joint subscrip-
tion contract alluded to in the first case. The aggregate
amount which the parties to this instrument bound them-
selves for was 1,274,687/., and the question whether this deed
ea)uld apply to three Bills was left for decision of the Com-
mittee above, or the Committee on Public Petitions.

MEETING OF THE LIBERALS.
A very numerously attended meeting of Liberal
Members was held on Saturday at Lord JOHN Rue-
MILL'S house, in Chesham-place, to consider the course
to be take!? in the approaching discussions on Sir
Ro-
BERT PEEL'S proposals. We understand that Lrd
Joill,r RUSSELL addressed the meeting, pointingo
out the danger to the measure that might arise
from an amendment in Committee for immediate
repeal of the corn-laws, which might be supported by
''the protectionists, for the purpose of throwing a
difficulty in Sir ROBERT PEEL'S way, and, being car-
ried by a majority combined of free-traders and protec-
tionists, might eau e Sir R. PEEL to throw up the
Measure. We are told that the most perfect unanimity
prevailed as to the necessity of the Liberal party doing
everything in their power to pass thatpart of Sir R. EEL'S
PEEL'S measure which concerns corn as quickly as pos-
Bible, and in thinking that, though immediate free trade
is corn would be preferable to its fulfilment in February,
.849,
es to still it would not be right, under present circum-
stances, the slightest delay in passing Sir ROBERT

BOROUGH .&Ti D SPITA x.rxEmps.

During the past week the arrivals of l'o;atoes at the water-side
(though somewhat on the increase) have been but moderate, the
time of year considered. By railway, however, the receipts have
been moderately extensive; while irom the Continent about 400 tons
have come to hand in middling condition. From New York twenty
barrels have reached us, per the Northumberland. Owing chiefly to
the large supply of green vegetables on offer, the demand for most
kinds of l'otatoes is Inactive, and many of our quotations must be
considered almost nominal. York Reds may be quoted at from 80s
to 130 s ; Old Regents, 804 to 110 s ; Scotch Reds, 50s to 80s ; Jersey
Blues, 70s to 110 s ; Scotch Buffs and Blues, 70s to 80s per ton.

There is rather more easiness doing in the hest new hops, at fully
previous quotations; but the secondary qualities command very
little attention. Old olds are quite as dear. co. foreign importations
have lately taken place; but we have received ten packages by steam
from Ireland.

The price of fine Yellow Candle Tallow is rather cheaper than on

have declined their purchases very considerably until after Parlia-

and the price is firm, at 43s net cash fer fine melted.

brightness, and hence, possibly, requires our more
particular stigma We ascribe this solitary instance of
partiality against a creed rather to the carelessness of
the editor than to his matured purpose. Yet on this
♦ery account, more especially, we point the anger of
criticism at the blot, and warn its conductor against any
future repetition of the like, if he would propitiate the
favour of his liberal-hearted arid liberal-minded gene-
ration.

WANDERINGS OF A PEN AND PENCIL.
Pleasant wanderings are these; and choice, sun-lipped
companions are Masters Crowquill and Palmer. The
pen is smartly nibbed for the nonce, and the pencil ever-
pointed. Though the woods be seductive for a descrip-
tion, the old ruinous monastic buildings which nestle in
all sorts of nooks in this our "merry England" seem to
offer greater attractions to the pilgrims of literature and
art, and precious coifes of anecdote and millions of
legend do they rake up from amongst the moss and the
green stones. Then, for example, at page 168, is the
veritable chamber of Alexander Pope, at Stanton Har-
court, the room in which he finished the fifth volume of
his Homer. Think of that good reader! the very room
in which our rare, dainty, music-tongued, irritable little
poet hath often donned his slippers and snoozed off into
a dream of Isucolics. For more particulars upon this
and divers other curiosities, we commend thee to the
good company of Alfred Crow quill.

KNIGHT'S PENNY MAGAZINE.
Though infinitely smaller, this new series of an old
favourite is infinitely superior both in appearance and
selection of materials to its predecessors. All readers
of taste will feel themselves under obligations to Mr.
Knight for an alteration so judicious, and to Mr.
Harvey also for his delicate and occasionally delicious
pictorial contributions. Some morsels iu this first part
from the pencil of that eminent draughtsman are pecu-
liarly pleasing, inasmuch us they remind us of his
glorious achievements in the embellishment of the
Arabian Night's Entertainments: in the present case,
however, to employ a quirk, it is in the embellishment
of the " English Knight's Entertainment." Besides the
ordinary proportion of antiquarian, or, rather, book-
worming matter, tales, and poetry, and reviews are inter-
spersed through the Penny Magazine, giving an addi-
tional' attraction to that deserving and popular publi-
cation.
