DEATH of the EARL of WALDEGRAVE, in
his 31st year !—Here is a man 'who has died in the prime of
his life under what is termed regular medical treatment. No in-
quiry has been made, and his remains are consigned to the silent
tomb. Now let us for one moment consider what would have been
done if his Lordship had happened to die after a dose or Morison's
Pills, even though he had been at • the brink of the grave when he
commenced them. In the first place, we should have had the coro-
ner's inquest, before which would have been painted, in horrible
colours, by the doctors, the appearances after death, enough to
frighten the poor juryinen out of their wits. The doctor-ridden old
ladies would have cried, " Oh, what ahorrible case, these nasty pills
should be put down ; a. young man of thirty-one," &e. Then would
have followed in due course the usual verdict, " Died from taking
Morison's pills ;" which announcement would have gone the round of
all the papers, both in town and, country, with comments net the
most favourable. This would have closed the first act. The second aCt
of the play would have been for a doctOr to charge, if possible, some
person with manslaughter for administering tohirs,
•Ll:hrdets•ehitph
the pills,
which farce the doctors would have brought in due form (as they did
lately against the chemist and druggist at Exete
however, most luckily detected by the Judge, Platt)
beforeeywere,
her Majeity's judges, in order to give importance and éclat to the one
of
proceedings. The usual verdict of "guilty" would have
be
enir
re-
turned, and the doctors would have ti iumphed. What a victory
The papers would of course all have contained a full report of the
trial, verdict, and sentence, to frighten naughty children. But how
widely different is the scene when the party has died (it matters not
how) under what is called regular medical treatment. Not a word
is said. The theory under which the dikter acted is never ques-
tioned, although it is well known that scarcely two of them agree.
The story then is, " Ah, poor fellow, his tine was come ; everything
has been done," &c. " The doctor told us how it would be. What
a clever fellow." But is this case of Lord Waidegrave's isolated ?
Don't we see every day in the newspapers deaths of persons in the
prime of life, who, we are justified in presuming, have had the regular
medical treatment ? Then we ask again, in the name of justice arid
common sense, why are not inquests instituted in such cases ? There
is no law that states that no inquest shall be held where the party has
died under regular medical treatment—the law professes to make so
distinction—are not such inquests, then, on parties. who do not and
will not have doctors' treatment, a flagrant interference with medical
liberty? Is it not saying; in other Words, "Employ a doctor, and
pay him his fees, or there will be an inquest ?" We cannot conceive
anything more disgraceful to an enlightened country, or a more
underhanded way of putting fees into the pockets of a particular
class. To insure the_ doctor being paid, the clergyman is not to bury
without his certificate. Here's a pretty wheel within wheel for you,
gentle reader!

Everything connected with the British College of Health, from its
commencement, nearly twenty years ago, has been carried on above
board, and in the world's light. They have nothing to conceal; and
the Ilygeian agents throughout the country, amounting to many
hundreds, are open to public examination. With respect to the
secrecy which doctors talk about respecting Morison's Pills, in order
to attach the epithet " quackery," it is a weak invention of the
enemy, there being no secret; the only thing contended for is that
that medicine is the best vegetable purgative known to Hygeists.
invent 'a better, and they will immediately adopt It. With respect
to the important fact, viz., the cases of cure effected by Morison's
Pills, new amounting to upwards of 500,000, we shall place that
question, as Dr. Cobb, of the City (a most respectable medical prac-
titioner) placed it, who, in answer to Sir Frederick Pollock, the pre-
sent Lord Chief Baron, said, " Either my theory is wrong or the
witnesses for Morison's Pills are perjured! " which admission of Dr.
Cobb's the public will bear in mind amounts to this—either the wit-
nesses for Morison's Pills were perjured, or that such poisons as
prussic acid, arsenic, &c. &c., should not be given "medicinally," for
it is quite clear that if those witnesses spoke the truth they must
have been eured without the help of such poisons.
Issued by the Members of the British College
of Health, New-road, Landon, for and on be-
half of the Body of Hygeists.
* Doctors may think nothing of cutting' up a dead body for the
purpose of an inquest, but how is it with friends ? Would they like
to see a dear relative mangled and paraded about before ajury ?
N.B.—lt should never be forgotten that the British College of
Health owes its rise and progress to the people, and not to the sub-
scriptions of the rich or great.

THE ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.
In London, the yearly election of Mayor
Is counted a very important affair ;
Each man has his friends who support him right hearty,
And each has Ills roes, just according to party.
But party is out of the question with us ;
We have nothing to do with the candidates thus.
We don't have a wish ('tisn't right that we should)
To meddle with Carroll, or Hooper, or Wood.
In fact, this selection of subject is made
With a view just to hint at the Lord Mayor of Trade.
'Tie MOSES. in this sense, that's Mayor of the City ;
Let's slng.him a .‘ Car-r-01-4" let's sing him a ditty.
While Lord Mayors in general only appear
As " Majesties" during the space of a year,
The Lord Mayor of Trade, through the fame he has caned,
Is year after year to his office returned.
When MOSES solicits the public support •
His canvassing battle is easily fought,
For no competition can stand in the way,
But MOSES is certain of gaining the day.
Yes, MOSES, fain'd MOSES, elicits the votes
On account of his trewsers, hfs waistcoats, and coats ; And ev'ry one shouts, "Lend your aid ! lend your aid
1"
That MOSES may still be the Lord Mayor of Trade.

THE REGISTRATIONS.
CITY OF LONDON.
At half-past ten o'clock yesterday morning the Bar-
rister proceeded with the revision of the householders'
list, in the wards of Cheap, Cordwainer, and Dowgate.
Mr. James Izod, who was down in the list of voters
for the occupation •of a house, 53, Watling-street, was
objected to on the ground that he had not been rated for
the house during the time prescribed by law.
The overseer was examined, from whose evidence it
appeared that Mr. Izod was rated on the first rate, not
for No. 53, but for a house and offices at No. 46,Watling-
street, and that he Occupies the lower part of No. 46. In
the second rate he is down also for No. 46, and also in
another part of the rate for No. 53. In the third rate he
is down in the same manner.
The BARRISTER was of opinion that the party ought
to claim to be rated for No. 53, or to be registered for
No. 46, and as he had not done one or the other, he
could not say that his name Should be retained. The
overseer ought to have put him down for both places,
but he only put him down for one, and he had selected
the premises for which he was not rated during the ne-
cessary time.
Mr. Browne supported the claim of Mr. Izod, and sub-
mitted that the insertion of No. 53 was a mistake for
No. 46.
The BARRISTER said it could not be a mistake, for he
also occupied No. 53.
Mr. BROWN then submitted that the Court could sub-
stitute " 4e" for " 53."
The BARRISTER did not think, under the circum-
stances, he could make the alteration.
The name was expunged.
The following parishes in the wards of Cheap, Cord-
wainer, and Dowgate were revised :—Allhallows, Honey-
lane ; Allhallows the Great, Allhallows the Less, St.
Antholin, St. Benet Sherehog, St. Lawrence Jewry, St.
Martin Pomeroy, St. Mary Aldermary, St. Mary Cole-

MRS. GORE'S NEW NOVEL.—The title of " Men
of Capital" prefixed to a new novel in this era of rail-
roads, and the fortunes grown out of them in a single
night, like the bean-stalk in the fairy tale, affords us
strong hopes of entertainment. The railroad Kings and
Queens of the day ha;,e already furnished nearly as
many amusing anecdotes to fashionable London as the
Dukes and Duchesses of Bonaparte's newly-created
court used to supply to the Faubourg St. Germain, Let
us hope that Mrs. Gore has done justice to her subject.
In consequence of the death of William Barnard,
Esq., the celebrated. Whitefield harriers have been dis-
posed of to a Mr. Anderson, of London, and were last
week sent to the vicinity of the metropolis. This event
will be felt as a a severe deprivation to many of the
gentry and farmers of the neighbourhood, who have for
nearly half a century enjoy ed uninterrupted and first-
rate sport with this very efficient pack of harriers.
Joseph Barnard, Esq., the present possessor of Whit-
field, handsomely offered•to present these crack hounds
to any gentleman who would undertake to' hunt the
country around Tewkesbury with them for seven years ;
and it is much to be regretted that no one could be found
who was willing to accept them on such liberal condi-
tions.— Gloucester Chronzcle.

FACTORY MEETING AT BRAD

FORD.
BRADFORD, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—A most important
and influential meeting was held this afternoon at Brad-
ford, the object of which was to originate a movement in
Yorkshire for the moral and social improvement of the
female factory operatives.
The Vicar of Bradford, the Rev. Dr. Scoresby, occu-
pied the chair, and on the platform were Lord Viscount
Morpeth, William Busfeild, Esq., M.P , and a large party
of clergymen, dissenting ministers, and manufacturers of
the town and neighbourhood.
At the commencement of the meeting the Rev. J.
COOPER read letters from various influential person;
who had been invited to be present at the meeting, among
others from Lord Ashley. His Lordship expressed the
highest satisfaction at the proposed movement for the
improvement of the factory women, and promised his aid
in its promotion; he, however, declined attending the
meeting, conceiving that, holding the principles he did
with reference to the hours of labour in factories, his
presence might rather be for evil than for good. The
Rev. Gentleman then read a report of the proceedings
that had taken place previous to the meeting in the com-
mittee of gentlemen by whom it had been promoted.
This document suggested the plans which were subse-
quently adopted in the various resolutions brought for-
ward and approved by the meeting.
The Rev. Dr. SCORESBY followed in a speech of con-
siderable length, in which he forcibly set forth the de-
plorable moral and social condition of many of the female
factory operatives of the district, and called upon Lord
Morpeth to move the first resolution.
Lord MORPETH presented himself, amidst great cheer-
ing, to address the meeting. He said, Mr. Vicar, Ladies,
and Gentlemen—l willingly/comply with the command
which you have just imposed upon me, to move the first
resolution, though I feel that after the full explanation,

happy privilege to have brought before this, meeting.—
(Hear.) Before I proceed further, I must:, offer some
apology that I should be obliged to qu'it proceedings
even so interesting as these before I should have wished
to do so, and for the same reason to restrict the space of
my own observations, because I happen to have had an
engagement for some time in the neighbourbag town of
Keighley, to attend their agricultural meeting. But
though perhaps I ought to have been there by this-hour,
yet when my attention was called to the 12,0QQ female
workpeople in this town, I felt they had superior claims,
that they are more important objects, that they are
nobler works of the great Creator, than .iven the fat
cattle and the goodly beeves that I may Otid in the
upper part of Airedale.—(hear, hear.) vI will, with
your permission, read the resolution vvhAshas .beett
entrusted to my charge, which is to *is effect
" That as it appears, on caeeful inquiry, that not fewer
than 12,000 young women are engaged in the various
departments of the trade of Bradford, of which number
2,000 are married, and 1,200 live in lodgings; and as the
employment and situation of these young women, espe-
cially the married and . those that reside with their own
families, lay them under great disadvantages, expose
them to many moral dangers, it is the duty, not only of
their employers, but of all the inhabitants of the town—
a duty commended by powerful motiveseto- Christian
minds—to cherish a kindly sympathy with this large
and interesting part of the community, Assist them in
efforts to improve .and elevate their own &erecter and
condition, and leave no practicable and pendent, means.
untried of promoting their welfare." Noel, I think the
reasoning of this resolution must consented itself to all.
I am aware that differences of opinion have prevailed
upon a subject on which I assure you I do not mean to
enter, and which I think we have been rites tlyeautioned
against entering upon on the present oceesion, because
it is desirable to avoid all unnecessary difference of opi-
nion where.we have so much - common matter which we
may pursue. But differences of opinion4ad existed in.
this town, and in the whole manufacturing districts of
England, with regard to the proper time t allot to labour
in factories; but whether you fix the nursiber of hours at
twelve, at eleven, at ten, at nine, or at eieht, still I' think.
it would be felt to be desirable to protect these 12,000
female factory workers from the daegers and -the
temptations to which they are more pecitharly exposed;
to
_provide means fur their finding decent and healthy
loagings ;to stand in stead, as it ,in the case
of the unprotected, ,of their natur parents and
guardians when they cannot resort to t kindly shel-
ter ;to provide for them when sick the ilities for ob-
taining medical attendance and medicines.; to inculcate
upon them lessons of forethought and prudence ; and
surround them as much as possible with the comforts,
the privileges, the sanctities of a home.—{Loud cheers.)
In these items I have endeavoured to ennmerate as far
as I can those benevolent purposes which the promoters
of the scheme which you, sir, have brifaight before us
seem to have had mainly in view. Ansi) st the other
recommendations of this scheme to our probation, I
think it a point to be specially commend that it does
Arno
not aim at any exclusiveness or any se' Tian distinc-
tions.—(Hear, hear.) Indeed, in a community divided
by so much difference of opinion, howefer desirable in
the abstract I should have thought the Objects compre-
hended in this scheme to be, I feel thatd could hardly
myself become a party to it, if it built up the wall of
partition among any of those who arc entitled to partake
of its benefits.—(Hear, hear.) With reference to the
peculiar object to be held, in view, at least one of the
primary objects, the providing of commodipus and healthy
lodgings for the unprotected daughters atoll in the fac-
tories, I observe that the report which` was read made
special mention of an association with, which I have
been connected in the metropolis of this county, for
providing lodging accommodation for the industrious
classes. I hope this institution will be able to carry their
benificent purpose very generally into. effect ; and it
seems to me that the object of the scheme contemplated
to-day is strictly calculated to falt,within the sphere of
its operations. lam not at liberty to mention in parti-
cular terms that any scheme set on foot in this town can
be incorporated with the main association, but I am as-
sured that by consultation together we shall be able to
give that general assistance to the local scheme which
the Metropolitan Association is so well calculated to
bestow. In listening to the observations which you, sir,
have made upon this occasion, I could not help feeling
that besides the practical experience and the long op-
portunities of observation which you have enjoyed
during your residence in this town as a minister of the
Gospel, you also have been, to a considerable degree, in-
spired by the wish to set on foot some such scheme as
this, by the impressions which you received during your
personal visit to the great manufacturing establishment
at Lowell, on the continent of America. Now, I can-
not wonder that you received such impressions on that
spot, for I myself, like you, have also been in that
quarter, and I remember writing at the time, so strong
my own impressions were on the subject, that if a
nstive of England could feel ashamed or grieved for his
country, it would be when, with the recollection of
what he had seen in such towns as Leeds and
Bradford, he should stand among the female factory
labourers of Lowell.—(Lnud cheers.) Now I know
that there are many circumstances to explain to a cer-
tain extent this difference. It is a new country—land is
comparatively of no value—no extent of ground is
grudged for suitable lodging—accommodation for public
works—in short, no account is made of space.—(Hear,
hear.) Then the persons who constitute the female
labouring classes are almost 'entirely the daughters of
farmers—comfortable farmers, who live over the wide
surface of that country, and who merely come to the
manufacturing town for two or three years, in order
that by their work during that period they may gain a
sufficient amount of wages to return home ready pro-
vided with a marriage dowry—(Cheers)—and hence it
happens that the circumstances of their position give
them the motives, while the regulations of the place
give them the facilities for orderly, circumspect, and
blameless conduct, by any departure from which they
feel that they would at once lose caste in the estimation
of their associates, and that it would operate ruinously
upon the prospects of persons in their station for the re-
mainder of their lives. But after all the explanation,
and after all the allowances of which the case admits,
it must, I am sure, be felt by every eye .
witness who has an opportunity of inspection him-
self that the contrast is not gratifying to
English or to our old world prepossessions.—( Hear,
hear.) But, as we heard in this very room last
night, there does not seem to be anything in the cha-
racter or constitution of. Englishmen which unfits us for
appreciations and just discernment in matters of taste.
I should be still more sorry to admit that there is any-
thine in the character and composition of Englishwomen
which would unfit them for decent and virtuous living.
—(Cheers.) All that we say is, give them the facilities,
give them the protection, giv i them the safeguards, give
them the motives that are found at Lowell, before you

grounds, and of giving it at least a beginning in the
right way, to rescue from danger that portion of our fe-
male working population which is justly entitled to our
sympathy and to our exertions.—(Hear.) On this ac-
count I have been moat glad to take a part in the pro-
ceedings of this day, however short and inadequate that
may be. I think this scheme does honour to those who
have set it on foot, and I heartily hope that they may, in
a ppla applause.)
