THE DRESS OF OTHER DAYS,
A PARODY.
The dress of other days is faded,
Though once estoem'd so smart,
And all its boasted style is shaded
By that of MOSES' Mart.
Such charming dress I view superior
In all that it displays ;
For, oh it places as inferior
The Dress of other Days.

JAMES DANIELL, Secretary,

FOR STOPPING DECAYED TEETH,

No dress can equal that of MOSES
In any one respect,
A novel fashion it discloses
Without the least defect.
MOSES and SON'S fam'd Mart can rival
Whate'er the trade displays ;
And no one seeks for a revival
Of the dress of other days.

The workmanship and cloth together
I've always found the beet,
And, wear them in the roughest weather,
You'll find they stand the test.
With facts like these I often wonder

Patronised by her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and

THOMAS and HOWARD'S SUCCEDA-
NiEUM for Stopping Decayed Teeth, however large the
cavity. It is placed in the tooth in a soft state, without any pressure
or pain, and soon becomes as hard as the enamel, and will remain
firm in the tooth for many years, rendering extraction unnecessary,
and arresting the further progress of decay. All persons can use this
Succodanamm themselves with ease, as full directions are enclosed.
Price 2s. 6d. Prepared only by Thomas and Howard, Surgeon Den-
tists, 64, Berners-street, Oxtbrd-street, who will send it into the
country free by post. Sold by Savory, 220, Regent-street ; Sanger,
150, Oxford-street ; Butler, 4, Cheapside ; Johnson, 68, Cornhill ;
and all Medicine Vendors In the kingdom. Mr. Howard continues to
supply the loss of teeth on his new system of self-adhesion, without
springs or wires. This method does not require the extraction of
any teeth or roots, or any painful operation whatever, and is less
expensive than others. Sir. Howard, Surgeon Dentist, 64, Beniers-

SPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
The thousands of individuals who fcr upwards of twenty
years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to be the only
article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or
grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it
can be incontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy
the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap-
plication, that this article promotes the growth of hair, nourishing
the roots till the latest period of life. Price 3s. 6d., 65., and 10s
per bottle.
To be had of the Proprietors, 29, Nottingham-place, Fieldgate

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING S Ny DECEMBER 5, 1846.

The Polish Literary Society at Paris, of which Prices
Czartorvski is President, held its annual meeting on the
29th of November, to commemorate the anniversary of
the Polish revolution. The speech delivered by the
Prince on the occasion was listened to with the deepest
interest by a numerous auditory. We quote from it the
following extracts :
" Evils of the most dreadful nature, formerly unknown
to Poland, and the development of which has been as
rapid as alarming, weigh, and will yet long weigh upon
our unfortunate country. It is the duty of every Pole to
interrogate his conscience that he may ascertain whether
he may not have to reproach himself with having contri-
buted to them. It is true that to myself, as well as to
many of my countrymen here present, the last insurrec-
tion was an unforeseen event. If, therefore, at the first
moment believing that it could be no other than a
national movement, we interested ourselves in it, our
conduct was only that of every good soldier who at the
first report of the cannon desires only to fly to the as-
sistance of his brethren, without asking what are the
chances of the struggle, or who are the chiefs that direct
it. Ido not repent of my conduct at that time, although
it bas been taxed by some with imprudence and precipi-
tation, whilst others hare continued to accuse me of a
constant opposition to every decisive measure in favour
of my country. I obeyed a sincere, upright, and national
feeling. The thought which governed me during those
days of irresistible emotion was the thought of my whole
life—my words were the repetition of those which I
have so often uttered in your presence. The sad truth
too soon appeared to change the nature of our emotions.
No sooner did it transpire than it convinced even those
who were the least disposed to recognise it, that it is
not by such insurrections that our country can be res-
cued, and proved to me that I was right in constantly
pointing out and advising other combinations and a
wholly different view in order to render the idea of a
national movement compatible with any chance of suc-
able to of
duration
cess. I refrain from recalling here the causes which de-
p rived
th
or
movementr
success.
Fromin
the February of
moment a all probability
wa s un
inspire the nation with confidence, it could have no other
result than to devote numerous victims to a frightful
death, or to the rigours of a no less formidable captivity.
On witnessing these unheard-of disasters, which the
darkest anticipations could never have imagined, we
were constrained to admit that the country would pass
severe judgment on those who had so inconsiderately
excited such commotions. It is painful to draw a pic-
ture of the actual situation of Poland from the accounts
furnished by terror or malevolence. Nevertheless, I feel
that a rigorous duty imposes on me the obligation of re-
producing here some portions of it. If any truths are
rendered apparent by it, it is desirable that they should be
known; and no one, neither the prejudiced nor the power-
ful, will have cause to resent them. The horrible catas-
trophes in a Polish province, and the easy victory which
accompanied them, so far from awakening any genero-
sity in our adversaries, have been the means of entailing
over the whole extent of Poland an unlimited increase
of insulting severity. Everywhere the law is either
suspended or unjustly enforced, neither age, nor sex, nor
virtue prove a shield against the merciless measures of
our triumphant enemies, who, to crown our miseries,
affect to repeat that certain Poles, blinded by pernicious
doctrines, have by their fatal lessons, themselves ex-
cited furious bands to prey upon their country. It is
but too true that in our villages hostile voices have been
heard to proclaim that our ancient Polish principles, so
fraternal and so Christian, are no longer obligatory nor
sacred, thus exciting the evil passions which abound in
the heart of man. If, in truth, there are Poles who per-
suaded themselves that impious doctrines, subversive of
every social tie, could be momentarily beneficial to the
cause of liberty, and who thought that the object would
justify the means, they committed a fault, the results
of which ought to penetrate them with deep and bitter
repentance. We ought to pity these men whilst we
condemn them. It is our enemies whom they have un-
consciously served ; our enemies, whose work of demo-
ralisation and destruction undertaken against a whole
nation, they have supported, and the brutal force, im-
pelled in various directions, has turned itself against
the quarter where the hope of reward and impunity
seemed most secure. Let us never forget that a popula-
tion can only be animated to the defence of its coun-
try by the idea of duty—the appeal to some generous
sentiment—and not by mere avidity for material advan-
tages, or the acquisition of such by violence. After our
late deplorable experience, no Pole who should continue
to promote the application of these same principles
could plead any excuse for his conduct, and his country
would have a right to inelndo him in the maledic-
tions she bestowed on her executioners. Every ono of
us is bound by his duty to his country and himself, and
at the risk of being drawn into the most criminal acts
against our unhappy country, to repel these exaggerated
doctrines, in which the real meaning and truth of things
disappears beneath the vagueness and emphasis of gene-
ralities. Doctrines everywhere dangerous, but for
Poland, fatal The Powers which divided
Poland amongst themselves, acknowledged in congress
before assembled Europe that this partition was a crime
which demanded reparation. But this noble avowal did
not save them from the usual consequences of a first
fault. They have not faithfully executed the treaty
they signed ; they have violated it, and Europe, who
signed it with them, has not resented the violation; they
have been drawn into a series of unjust acts, which, sad
to say, have ended in seriously shaking, throughout the
country abandoned to their dominion, tho very princi
ples of property and the moral consequences attached to
it, as ss ell as the religious principles which were the
glory of Poland. The Governments to which we are
submitted will some day have to repent that in the exe-
cution of a praiseworthy idea—that of assuring landed
property to the peasants—they did not employ the
equitable form of voluntary agreement, in which the
proprietors would spontaneously and generously have
made the sacrifices required for the public welfare.
They preferred to exercise their arbitrary power, by
taking forcibly from some in order to give to others.
The effect of this violent measure, as also of all those
which followed it, was to loosen the moral tie between the
various classes of society, and to substitute for it
the germs of perpetual distrust, disunion, and hatred.
In that part of Poland which is under the Prussian rule,
where the peasants have already, for several years, re-
ceived territorial possessions in this manner—the occu-
piers of the cottages, the labourers on the farms, are
preparing to exact similar gifts as soon as they perceive
a favourable opportunity. If, say they very logically,
the Government took a. portion of the estates of the
landowners to 'give to the farmers of that period, why
should they not take more now in order to gratify those
who have as yet no possessions? Thus, by a necessary
consequence of causes and effects, and no doubt against
the will and anticipations of these Governments, the
sanctity of the right of property, the essential basis of
all human society, which, without it, would present only
scenes of confusion and robbery, has been sapped and
weakened in our country by the very persons whose
duty and self-interest made it incumbent on them to
protect it most efficaciously. Hence the order and tran-
quillity which they pretend to have re- established in
Poland are but in semblance; trouble and confusion
reign in fact in the ideas and consciences of the inhabi-
tants. Poland, placed between two violent forces, whilst
the soil trembles beneath her feet, beholds a bloody
sword raised over her head. Does not this state
of things, in such flagrant contradiction cf treaties, if
they may be remembered, and of all European nations,
and formidable also to civil society in general, de-
mand the attention of all the Governments concerned
in them, as well as of all nations having at heart
the progress of civilisation, and unwilling to see it any-
where retrograding towards barbarism? I have pour-
trayed in darkened colours the social position of our
country, in order the better to indicate the sources whence
we may derive our means of support, and our grounds
of security and hope. The question is a grave and diffi-
cult one. It has appeared to me that to discuss it pro-
fitably for us, it is necessary to abstract myself from all
thought of the present, and like the future historian of
the agitations of a nation which seemed to behold its
approaching destruction, to deliver with respect to its
situation and its chances of regeneration an opinion as
free as may be possible from personal prejudice and the
impressions of the moment. In this isolated state of
mind I proposed to myself to review the different ideas
and the antagonistic opinions which are clashing amongst
us, the opinions of the desperate and of the impatient, of
those whom discouragement seems to annihilate, and of
those whose temerity rejects all prudence. I would have
compared these different opinions, I would have appre-
ciated them, and have endeavoured to reconcile them,
and to draw from the investigation the practical conse-
quences best adapted to our situation. But I remem-
bered how and by whom my words were to be criti-
cised; I feared that they might hurt labours the
most noble as well as the most innocent, that
they might be injurious to inure than one indi-
vidual; and I preferred to remain silent with respect
to the conclusions my meditations might have suggested.
I shall, therefore, restrict myself in the name of a fu-
turity, perhaps not far distant, that to amend and to
hope befits every nation that has fallen into misfortune,
and that it is on these conditions alone that it can realise
the work of its regeneration and restoration. There
were yet in that nation, it will be said some day, ardent
and sincere hearts, and honest agriculturists. The dregs

lamented death of your late respected Member, Mr. Barneby, I have
been requested by an influential body of your constituency to offer
myself as a candidate for your suffrages.

of our happy land.
Anxious to remove all oppressive and unnecessary burdens from
every class of the community, and to extend our commerce and ma-

venient for the Hon. Gentleman to leave home at present.

holders, while the labourer's condition is every day
becoming worse and worse. You have already the
verdict of the Skibbereen jury before you, testifying to
the melancholy fact of four human beings having died of
starvation, and I regret to say, that at Corbetstown, in
the county of Kilkenny, an inquest was held on Sunday
last, from which it appeared that a woman and three
young children, whose bodies were found on the pre-
ceding Saturday in a dyke on the road-side, were at the
period of their decease, if not in actual want, at least in
a state bordering on starvation. The bodies were brought
to a house on the road-side, the nearest that could be
procured, by the police—they presented a truly heart-
rending spectacle, partially covered with filthy rags
saturated with mud, and frozen, having been exposed to
the inclemency of the weather. The hand of one child,
and part of the foot of another, had been devoured pro-
bably by rats. Dr. Gwydir, of Freshford, made a minute
post mertent examination of the bodies of the mother and
eldest daughter, and a child about nine years old. The
Doctor was unable to detect in the stomach or the bowels
of the mother a trace of food having entered for more
than twenty hours before death. The child's stomach
contained a very small quantity of half-digested potatoes.
The following was the verdict of the jury:—" We find
that deceased and her three children's deaths were
caused by drowning, and we find from the post mortem ex-
aminations made by Doctor Gwydir on two of the bodies,
that they were in a state of hunger bordering on star-
vation, but how the bodies came into the dyke of water,
whether by accident or design on the part of the mother
we have no evidence to show."
ANOTHER DEATH FROM DESTITUTION.
An inquest was held in the workhouse of Kilkenny,
on Monday last, on the body of an aged pauper, named
Farrell, wken, after a long and patient investigation, the
jury found the following verdict;—" We find that the
deceased was received into this house on Wednesday
last, and admitted to its relief by the Board of Guardians
on the following day. That the said deceased was aged,
and that we (the Jury) believe his death to have been
the result of age, privation, and hardship. That it ap-
pears to have been the practice of this house, that per-
sons admitted do not receive their dinners till after the
sitting of the Board. That the deceased was fasting
from nine that morning to six, at which time he was un-
able to partake of his dinner, and then died in the act of
being carried thereto. That we (the jury) request the
Coroner to write to the Board, that permission be given
to the master to give food to a person so circumstanced
as the deceased was."
ANOTHER DEATH FROM STARVATION.
An inquest was held on Saturday last at Glandore,
county Cork, on the body of Andrew Barry, who was
reported to have died of starvation.
Among the witnesses produced was the wife of the
deceased, who swore that on the Sunday previous to his
death they had but three or four turnips for herself,
deceased, and three children, and on the Monday bad
about four or five quarts of meal, which she got from her
sister's children, on which they lived till Wednesday
morning ; on that morning witness's daughter got some
broth at Mr. Barry's, of Glandore House, aud from that
to her husbands death (the Sunday night following) had
nothing to support her family but some broth and tur-
nips, and the last three days previous to his death Mr.
Barry gave him work on the Ross and Glandore line,
but he was scarcely able to work, but for which he got
wages. Deceased was working
on the road in a dying
state from want of food.
The Jury found that the "deceased died from want of
food." STATE OF THE SOUTH.
The Tipperary Vindicator received this morning, gives
the following fearful account of the state of things, in
Tipperary and the adjoining districts We continue
to receive most clistressing accounts from several dis-
tricts. Indeed the condition of the people is frightful.
We would point attention to the letters of correspon-
dents, including two from respected clergymen who
reside at considerable distance from each other. Yes-
terday about seventy unemployed labourers proceeded
through the streets of Nenagh, and entered bakers' shops
in quest of food. Famine was in their looks. They
were snpplied with bread from the bakeries of several
persons in the same business. Whilst immense sums of
unexpended money presented for
are placed to the credit
of electoral divisions, and whilst distress
and destitution
alarmingly prevail, what wonder that there should be
discontent and crime P—We protest that the patience
and forbearance of the poor under the circumstances, are
wonderful to contemplate; and between the Board of
Works and their subordinates and the Presentment Ses-
sions, it is almost difficult to:pronounce where the crying
and grievous fault lies. A King's County Correspondent
asserts, that in that county nothing can equal the hor-
rible condition to which the people are reduced, particu-
larly in the mountainous district. In the neighbour-
hood of Kinnety, though the Presentment Sessions was
held on the 28th of September, no public works, we un-
derstand, have been yet undertaken except some rnisere-
ble hills or footpaths, affording employment only to a
mere fraction of the dying poor. Great God I how long
is this system to be permitted ? Is this decimation to
effect its worst, or are the people to be driven into the
arms of despair, and consequently of reckless violence ?
To augment their manifold misfortunes, fever has broken
out amongst them in several places ; and the burning
visitation of a pestilential disease is hurrying thousands
to their graves 1"
ANOTHER DEATH FROM STARVATION AT SEIRBEnEENr.
The special reporter of the Cork Examiner, instructed
to proceed to Skibberreen, and report as to the state of
'
affairs in that locality, writing under the date of Sunday
night, says ;
"I had scarcely got off the coach to change
I h my clothes
after a
bleak morning's drive, when eard a person in
the hotel say, Theres
' a poor man died this minute in
High-street,went starred to death.,

extended on an earthen floor, was wrapt of gaunt famine,

house,' wLere candles gleamed by the side of the dead.
As the day advanced the cravings of nature impelled him
forth from that house of mourning, and he entered the
humble cabin of one Hooly, a carman in High-street.
He was then merely able to ask the poor man to procure
him a ticket from the priest for admission to the work..
house, which Hooly proceeded for. The clergyman was
at the chapel, and he desired Hooly to go to his house,
and that he would in a few minutes be there to give him
the necessary order of admission.
"In the meantime Carthy made his way out of the
house, and brought in a halfpennyworth of milk, which,
at his request, was warmed for him. He swallowed it
with some difficulty, and, lying down on the floor, yielded
up, without a struggle or a sigh, his life ' to Him who
giveth and taketh away.'

and liberty should be given by the august chief of
Christendom to Europe, moved and subjugated by the
spectacle of so noble and beneficent a policy. In re-
calling all these circumstances, posterity will pronounce
that no Pole could be justified in despairing of the
future fate of his country. My words ore especially
addressed to that part of the nation in which is chiefly
concentrated its moral strength, its intelligence, its most
noble instincts, its most generous vitality. This portion
has had the nice t to suffer from our disasters ; it is these that will derive from them the most precious advantages.
Great misfortunes, great perils are fitted to cure us of
our prejudices, of our weaknesses, and of our errors ;
they dissipate the blindness of vanity and subordinate
interests; they teach us to appreciate correctly our
wants and our position. May we, enlightened by suffer-
ing and cruel anxieties, become more able to practice
reciprocal charity, union, and constancy, and to seek in
the holy faith of our forefathers the consolation and the
strength which that alone can give. I have never con-
cealed from myself the innumerable difficulties which
barred the chance of our redemption, and how much we
all need, in heart and intelligence, resolution and patience,
piety, talent, and of labour, before we can advance in
the path which has been traced for us. It is rare, lac
knowledge, for men to unite so many qualities ; but it
is a glorious destiny in life to be under the pressing and
binding necessity of acquiring them." [The speaker,
after alluding to himself and the peculiarities of his po-
sition, and saying a few words on the difficulties and
bitterness with which that position is surrounded, thus
concluded] :—" That which God has decreed in his
wisdom will be accomplished. Let us bow to his will,
not with timorous or incredulous weakness, but with
that deep humility of heart, that confiding resignation
to the eternal counsels which elevates our souls to their
highest power."

AMERICAN AFFAIRS,
NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—Our latest advices from the
army of occupation are datetilikontereyy =the i 6th of
October. Two United States snails, with public and
private letters, had been captured by the Mexicans. The
mail riders, it was said, had been murdered ; but, as
they were Mexicans, it was suspected that they had
voluntarily surrendered the mails to General Ampudia.
It was understocd in the camp that General Tay-
lor had received instructions in the new state of
things, but what they were had not transpired. It
was thought, however, some movement was in con-
templation. The most important information is,
that the Mexicans have evacuated Saltillo, having
first destroyed the fortifications. They have also
destroyed everything on the road to San Luis Potosi
that could in any way be useful to an invading army;—
thus, according to the account, leaving nothing for
General Taylor to conquer but a barren region of rugged
mountains and thirsty plains, affording neither water
nor provisions for the subsistence of man or beast over
a distance of 200 or 300 miles, before he reaches San
Luis Potosi.
The same accounts add that Santa Anna, with a
reinforcement, had arrived at San Luis Potosi,
where he intends making a stand. Santa Anna had
given orders for the evacuation of Monterey, but
they did not reach the commanding general before
the action had taken place. There is, with the best
informed Americans, a deep anxiety for the security
and comfort of our army. They have a long and tedious
march to reach Santa Anna; and by many it is doubted
whether it can be effected but at great hazard. The re-
treat from Saltillo is considered by military men as a
masterly movement, and is ascribed to the sagacity of i
Santa Anna.
A letter from Monterey says—" In fact, so far from
the war being ended, it has just commenced. Our
position is critical. Our supplies at Cansargo, 180
miles distance, must be waggoned to this place. This
long line has no protection. The Rancheros troops,
numbering near 2,500, are behind us as guerillas,
and, if they choose to act, our trains must be cut off ,
Although this is a rich valley, its supplies are inade-
quate to our wants, except in beef. We are now over
700 miles from the city of Mexico, with a vast desert to
traverse. We have the fullest expectation of the most
active guerilla war against us. Move where we will,
the mountains and passes affbrd every facility to carry
it on successfully, and most disastrously for us."
Details of the position of the American army, and
their means of attack, will be found in the public
journals which accompany this letter. It is now evi-
dent that the Administration have not only moved,
in this war, very injudiciously, if not ignorantly,
but that they are themselves convinced of their
own incapacity to conduct it to an honourable ter-
mination, They have therefore resolved to suspend,
in a great measure, all vigorous action until Con-
gress meets, when it is understood that honour-
able body will be called upon to assume a full share of
the responsibility of future warlike movements. It was
said, and probably correctly said, that General Taylor's
armistice was disapproved by the President, and that he
was ordered to annul it, and forthwith to pursue the
enemy into the interior. Whether counter-orders have
been issued is not known ; but we have an official notice
that no additional volunteers will be called into service
until after the meeting of Congress.
In the present state of public affairs, the Government
is at fault. The Administration is becoming distracted
and divided. Some of them are preparing, like rats, to
abandon a sinking ship. The community has lost all
confidence in them. Nearly every state in the union, at
the recent elections, has repudiated and denounced their
policy. The Mexican war is unpopular. The repeal
of the tariff of 1842 is condemned by two-thirds of the
American people. The Sub-Treasury law is an odious
measure. In short, no prominent act of the Govern-
ment, since the dominant party came into power, has re
ceived the approbation of the intelligent portion of tax
paying citizens.

Since the date of my last letter, elections have been
held in the states of New York, New Jersey, Massa-
chusetts, lowa, and Delaware. In all of them the Whigs
have triumphed. As the returns are not all received,
details cannot be accurately given. The general result,
however, may be given in the states mentioned, and they
may be considered as settled beyond all controversy.
In my letter of the 31st ult., referring to the state of
New York, and speaking of the approaching election, I
say—" Of the 34 representatives, I think the Whigs
will elect a majority ;" the result of that election is,
that the Whigs have elected 23 members, and all other
parties and factions 11—a triumph as unequalled as it
was unexpected. Massachusetts has done rather letter
for the Whig party than New York.
A strong impression has been made, within a few
days, that Congress, when they convene in December,
will modify both the tariff and the Sub-Treasury laws.
This opinion has been produced, I think, by the defeats
which the Locofocos have suffered in the recent
elections. The opinion, however, is without foun•
dation. The party in power will not retract their
steps. They will scorer die in the last ditch.
Until March next they have an overwhelming ma-
jority in the House of Representatives, and their
pride will not allow them to abandon any measure of the
last session. After the 4th of March the Whigs will
have a majority in the house. That majority will be
thorough tariff men ; but the Senate will be Locofoco.
Whether after their state has expressed itself against
the free-trade system these Senators will continue to op-
pose the re-enactment of the tariff of 1842 is problema-
tical. - In the next session, however, nothing on these
subjects will be done.

For a few days past the application of the Secretary
of the Treasury for a loan of 5,000,000 dollars has been
the subject of discussion in Wall-street. On the 12th
inst. the bids were to be opened at Washington, but the
non-arrival of the New York mail caused a suspension
of the opening until the next day (the 13th). It is un-
derstood, however, that the required amount has been
subscribed at about par, or a fraction above par. The
stock is redeemable in ten years, bearing an interest of
six per cent. per annum.
The money-market remains steady, with a moderate
demand for money at a moderate interest.
The arrival of the last steamer for a few hours ren-
dered our flour-market rather stiffer, with a trifling
advance in price, but it has reacted, and flour may now
be quoted at 5 dolls. 95-100 to 6 dolls. per barrel.

PUNISHMENT OF DEATH.-A public meeting was
held last evening, at the Music-hall, Store-street, having
for its object the adoption of measures to promote the
abolition of the punishment of death. As we have
already reported at considerable length the proceedings
of several similar meetings, a brief outline only is neces-
sary. Mr. Charles Gilpin presided, and shortly ex-
pounded the principle on which the Society advocates
the abolition of capital punishment—that of the sanctity
of human life. In allusion to the recent statement of
the Premier, that the treatment of criminals was a ques-
tion yet to be solved, he recommended to his Lordship's
attention the course pursued by the late Mrs. Fry. lie
expressed surprise at the tone adopted by the Morning
Chronicle on this question, when the reputed proprietor,
Sir John Easthope, had voted for the abolition of capital
punishments six years ago. It might suit that paper to
go back, but the public were not going back on this
question.—(Hear.) On the committee of this society
were men who had been accustomed to go from victory
to victory ; amongst its members were Richard Cobden,
John Bright, W. J. Fox, Charles Dickens, and Douglas
Jerrold.—(Loud cheers.) But, better than all, the
Society had right on its side.—(Cheers.) The meeting
was addressed by Mr. Charles Potter, the Rev. Henry
Richards, Mr. J. H. Parry, Mr. F. Rowton, Mr. IL
Vincent, and other gentlemen; and the same resolutions
as have been adopted at previous meetings were sub-
mitted and agreed to, as were petitions to the Legislature
founded thereon.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE ICE.—Yesterday Mr.
Baker held an iuquest at the Fountain, Clapton, on the
body of Alfred J. :Cook, aged 12 years, lately living at
No. 7, Exmouth-street, Hackney-road. It appeared
that on Wednesday morning the deceased, who is sup-
posed to have gone on the ice at Clapton pond, was
seen in the water by a female of the name of King, and
near him was his dog. She gave an alarm, but it was
several minutes before he was got out, as there were no
drags. The body, on being extricated, was taken to
the Fountain, where the usual means were resorted to,
to restore animation, but without effect.—Verdict,
" Accidental death."
