FREEMASONRY.—AMERICA..—We have received the
very gratifying intelligence from the United States, that the
Grand Lodge of Massachusetts has paid an expressive but
justly earned tribute to the merits of those distinguished
brethren of our Grand Lodge. the Rev. Dr. Oliver and Dr.
Crucefix, by unanimously conferring on the former the rank
of Past Deputy Grand 'Master, and on the latter that of
Past Scnior Grand Warden. This compliment comes with
greater force from the circumstance of its being the first oc-
currence of the sort on the part of the Grand Lodge re-
fe: red to ; and affords very conclusive evidence of the
great moral effects which these eminent and exalted
brethren exercise, even in a distant hemisphere. Their
names run parallel in Masonic history, the one as the un-
rivalled expounder of doctrine and illustration, the other as
the most accomplished proficient in discipline and practice.
As Freemasons we cordially concur in the propriety of this
act, by the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, and very sincerely
wish that our estimable brethren may wear their well-earned
honours, thrount many a year of utility and happiness.—

of the Apothecaries' Company, and a pupil of the late eccentric and
celebrated John Abernethy, Esq., F.R.S. ; twenty-two years a prin-
cipal Surgeon to St.. Bartholomew's Hospital. During a practical
trial of twenty years, these Pills have been found an invaluable
remedy in cases of indigestion, liver, and bilious complaints. For
derangements of the digestive organs and obstructions, a sluggish

STATE of the PUBLIC HEALTH
IN THE PAST QUARTER.
(Published by Authority of the Registrar-General.)
The quarterly returns are obtained from 115 districts, sub-
divided into 676 sub-districts. Thirty-four districts are
placed under the metropolis, and the remaining 81 districts
comprise, with some agricultural districts, the principal
towns and cities of England.
The mortality in the last quarter of 1845 was much lower
than is usual, for only 39,178 deaths were registered, which
is less by 14,740 than the number (43,918) registered in the
corresponding quarter of 1844 ; and 2,357 less than the
average of the corresponding quarter of seven previous years,
notwithstanding the increase of the population at the rate of
about 1.74 per cent. annually.

A fall of the temperature of the air, from 45 deg. to 4 deg.
or 5 deg. below the freezing point (32 deg.) of water, de-
stroys from 300 to 500 lives in the metropolis. It produces
the same result on a large scale all over the country. Nor is
it to be wondered at that a great change of the heat of the air
which we breathe and live in should have such an effect.

In the annexed table the deaths returned by the registrars
for each year are given :—Deaths registered in 115 districts,
in the year 1838, 162,867; 1839, 162,605; 1840, 171,694 ;
1841, 160,733 ; 1842, 161,918; 1843, 163,201 ; 1844,167,708 ;
1845, 165,789.
In the first three years there were 497,166 deaths; in the
last three years 496,698. The population increased in the
districts, from which returns have been procured, about 1.74
(nearly 04) per cent. annually, in the intervals of the last
census, and the excess of births over deaths has continued,
so that it may be safily assumed that. the number* living
have gone on increasing at the same rate—about 9 per cent.
in five years, from the middle of 1839 40 to the middle of
1843-5. Now, the deaths, instead of increasing with the
population 9 per cent., and consequently amounting to
541,960 in the last three wears, were 496,698-10. s by 45,262
than if the rate of mortality, which prevailed in the three
years 1838-40, had been sustained. The improvement may
perhaps be partly accounted for by other circumstances ; but
as far as can be seen at present, it is fairly ascribable to the
partial removal of nuisances from large towns, to some in-
crease of employment, and, we may hope, consequent ame-
lioration in the condition of the great body of the peoile
in the dense town districts of the kingdom. But an epi-
demic, generated in this or any neighbouring population,
may speedily reverse the results of the tables, and carry off
the thousands of lives that appeared to have been spared and
saved

JUVENILE OFFENDERS.

On Thursday, at the Middlesex Sessions, Mr. Pownall,
he Chairman of the Justices, directed their special at-
tention to a memorial from the Philanthropic Society,
submitting propositions on their part for the considera-
tion of the magistracy, relative to the reception of j uve
nile criminals upon their discharge from prison. lie
(the Chairman) said that the subject was of considerable
importance ; but he feared the Court had no power to
interfere. It was, however, extremely desirable that the
document should receive publicity, as something should
be done by the Legislature, and that without delay, to
remedy the evil so generally and justly deprecated.

fields, established 1783, and incorporat. d 1806, ft r the

celebrated John Abernethy, Esq., F.R S. ; twenty-two years a prin-
cipal Surgeon to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. During a practical
trial of twenty years, these Pills have been found an invaluable
remedy in cases of indigestion, liver, and bilious complaints. For
derangements of the digestive organs and obstructions, a sluggish
action of the liver and bowels, which occasions more or less the fol-
lowing symptoms, viz., heartburn, giddiness, acidity, headache,

SECOND READINGS.

The following Bills were read a second time, and were

Railway (Humber Ferries), Scottish Grand Junction Railway,
and Ferguson's Naturalization. . . . .

Captain BERKELEY presented a petition from the port
of London, praying that inquiries be instituted into the ma-
nagement of the Seaman's Relief Fund.
Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition, signed by the dis-
trict Catholic clergymen of Liverpool, complaining that the
children of those of the Roman Catholic adults employed in
the factories were compelled to attend the Protestant Sunday-
schools, and praying that the House would institute some in-
quiries into the matter.
MERCHANT SEAMAN'S FUND.

Mr. HUME presented a petition, praying the attention of
the House to the management of the Merchant Seaman's Fund,
with the view of providing a retreat for those deserving men,
after a period of active service, thus preventing them from
leaving the country, as many of them at the present were in
the habit of doing. He begged to give notice that he would
move that the petition be printed, with the view of calling the
attention of the House to this important subject.
ADULTERATION OF TOBACCO.

Mr. HUME presented a petition from the manufacturers and
dealers in tobacco in the city of Norwich. They recited that
various vexatious processes were instituted under the plea for
searching for adulterated tobacco ; that various prosecutions had
been entered upon which they had not the adequate means of
preventing, and, therefore, they prayed the House to take the
matter into consideration. They believed that an effectual
remedy would be to reduce the duty on tobacco to ls.
per pound, thus removing all temptation to smuggling or
adulteration.

EXCLUSIVE PRIVILEGES IN SCOTTISH
BOROUGHS.
Mr. HUME presented a petition from the magistrates, town
council, and civic authorities of Arbroath, praying the House to
give every facility to the passing of a measure introduced by
the Lord Advocate for the doing away of exclusive privileges in
boroughs.

REPORT OF STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE.
Mr. ESCOURT brought up the report of the decision of the
Standing Orders Committee respecting the North Staffordshire
and other Railway, Bills.
PROTECTION TO AGRICULTURE.
Mr. R. PALMER presented several petitions from Hants
and Berkshire against the measures of the Government relative
to the importation of foreign grain. He also presented one
from the borough of Newbury, complaining of the present mode
of raising the poor rates, and praying the House to take it into
its most serious consideration, with the view of devising a means
of abolishing the local rates, and meeting the expense out of
the public tads, t 31; t mode.

MR. BUCHANAN TO MR PARENHAII.

Washington, 3d Tan , 1846.
The President declines the offer of arbitration. Mr. Pakenham
had assumed that the title of England was valid to at least a portion
of the disputed territory, whereas, the President had assumed the
title of the United States to he clear and unquestionable to the whole
of Oregon. This was a sufficient reason to decline the overture.
Besides, arbitration, so far from leading to happier consequences,
would but create new difficulties. The President expresses the
hope that the controversy may yet be adjusted, without disturbance
of the peace between the two countries.

THE WEST RIDING UNION RAILWAY.

Several petitions were presented from the inhabitants of dif-
ferent districts in Yorkshire, complaining of the injustice of
the decision of the Standing Orders Committee against the
above•named undertakiag. _

Captain BERKELEY said that seeing that the Right Hon.
Baronet the President of the Board of Trade was in his place
be wished to ask him what was the intention of Go-
verment with regard to the merchant seamen's fund. Was it
the intention of Government to mike any inquiry into it?
Petitions of some consequence with regard to that subject had
been that day presented, from a body of no less than 3,000
seamen of the port of London.
Sir GEORGE CLERK said, it was desirable that some
alteration should be made in the system. The Government had
for some time been in communication with the Shipowners'
Society, and were in possession of every information, so that
an inquiry would not be necessary.
Mr. VILLIERS presented a petition from Bilstone for the
release of Frost, Williams, and Jones, and also a petition from
Charley, for the bet'er regulation of factory labour.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE gave notice that, on the 18th instant,
he should move for leave to bring in a Bill for the limitation
of labour in those factories where machinery was emple3ed.
Mr. EWA RT gave notice that he should move for the aboli-
tion of duty on all foreign books.
OFFICIAL DESTRUCTION OF CORN.
Mr. VILLIER S,:seeing the Right Hon. Gentleman th—e-Vice-
President of the Beard of Trade in his place, wished to ask him
if any report had been made to the Government or to the Cus-
tom-house authorities, of the amount of wheat destroyed in this
country in consequence of the damage it had received at the
Custom-house, and the inability of the importer to pay the duty ?
He had understood that very recently a large quantity of wheat
had been destroyed, in consequence of the damage it received by
remaining in the Custom-house, the importer not being able,
in consequence of the high rate of duty, to clear it from the
Custom-house. A merchant of the name of 1- hilpotts, at the
port of Gloucester, was not able to pay the high duty of 17s.
per quarter; it was, therefore, thrown into the River Severn,
under the care of a vigilant Custom-house officer, who watched
it in the Severn till it became either mixed with the mud or
by other means rendered unfit for use. He wished, therefore,
o ask if any report had been made to the Government of the
tmount of wheat so destroyed in consequence of the inability
of the importer to pay the duty?
o Sir GEORGE CLERK said he knew nothing of the case
to which the Hon. Member (Mr. Villiers) had referred. He
believed, however, that the statement had appeared in a news-
paper, :but the periodical reports furnished by the Board of
Customs to the Treasury and tire Board of Trade, contained
no mention of it. There could not, however, be any difficulty
in ascertaining whether the report was true or false, and if
true, under what circumstances the alleged destruction of grain
took place.

SHIPPING DUES.

Mr. HUME moved for an account of the aggregate receipt
at every port, harbour, and creek in the United Kingdom, in
the year 1845, of the harbour and shipping charges, stating
the several heads of such income; and also an account of the
aggregate expenditure for the same year, stating the same
under the several heads of expenditure in the year 1845 (in
continuation of Parliamentary Paper No. 571, of Session
1845), which was agreed to.

nity of informing her Majesty's Government of toe fact.

MR. PAKENHAM TO MR. BUCHANAN,

Washington, Jan. 16, 1846.
Mr. Palconham renews to Mr. Buchanan the offer of arbitration.
On the question of the title, Great Britain had as explicitly as-
serted her rights to the Oregon territory to the United States. Does
not propose now to review the title of either party. Proposes to
submit the title itself to arbitration, and if a friendly sovereign or
state is objectionable to the United States, then to a mixed com-
mission of eminent jurists, civilians, &c. If the title of neither
party shall prove clear and satisfactory, then the arbitration may
divide the territory. Invites the Secretary of State to a considera-
tion of this proposition.

MR. BUCIIANAN TO MR. PAKENLIAM.
• Washing Feb. 4th, 1846.
Reviews this second proposition of the Britishton, Minister. Has no
faith in arbitration. CAS the North Eastern Boundary case. It
would involve us in new difficulties. Mr. Buchanan speaks of Pie
extent of Oregon—of the great value of the territory to the United
States, and its comparative worthlessness to Great Britain. He
was determined not to withdraw the adju.dlcation of the question
from the Go7ernnient and people of the United States,
or any • arbitration however respectable. Mr. Buchanan ex-
presses his desire for the preservation of the peace, and his belief in
the capacity of the two Governments to settle ;the title between
themselves.

On the motion of Mr. C. J. Ingersoll the correspondence was
referred to the Committee on the Whole of the State of the Union,
and orL'ered to be printed.
