This company is established for two reasons—first, because
It is wanted ; and second, because it will pay. India wants
cheap means of conveyance for her produce; water conveyance
is cheaper than any possible mode of conveyance by land ; and
ten thousand miles of this cheap water conveyance will be
afforded by the great rivers when properly navigated by steam.
The last dividend of the Ganges Steam Company was 48 per
cent, per annum, and the latst returns of a Navigation Com-
pany on the Godavery was 55 per cent. The field, however,
is far too large to be adequately filled by local effort, and an
English Company is necessary, which, with adequate capital,

FICIAL TEETH ,flxed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
[Jerfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to he distinguished from
•he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth

R,OYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road.
Patron—The QUEEN.—Fomaded 1828.
The sick poor are admitted on their own application alone; no
ec.:ommendation is required.
During the past month the following number received the benefits
ft this Charity, either as out or in-door patients, on their personal
application :
Week ending 7th August 2,214
Ditto 14th August •••• • • •• 2035

Total in August • • • • 10,740
of which 4,540 were new cases, the remainder (still under treat-
ment) having been admitted previously.
Heavy expenses are inevitably incurred in affording such exten-
sive relief. The Committee, therefore, earnestly entreat the aid of
the public.
The management of the Hospital is in the hands of 30 Governors,
yearly elected from the general list of subscribers, at the Annual
General Meeting in January. A Board is held every Thursday, at
4 o'clock (Rev. J. B. Owen, Chairman), to conduct the business,
when any subscriber may attend, if so disposed, the Board being at
all times desirous of receiving suggestions or giving explanation.
The Hospital is not endowed, but is wholly dependent on volun-
tary contributions and legacies, which are received by the Treasurer,
John Masterman, Esq., M.P., Nicholas-lane ; also by Messrs. Coutts
and Co. ; Drummond and Co.; Berries and Co.; Ransom and Co.;
Prescott, Grote, and Co. ; Smith, Payne, and Co.; Glyn and Co. ;

ners-street ; Masterman and Co.; and at the Hospital.
Clothing for the destitute patients will be thankfully received.

A. NEW AND IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN THE SCIENCE
OF MEDICINE.
Patent Office Seal of Great Britain. Diplome d'Ecole de Pharmacie
Pharmacien de Paris. Imperial College of Medicine, Vienna.

•
TRIE,,ESI AR No. 1,2, and 3, prepared in the form of a lozenge
devoid of taste or smell, and can be carried in the waistcoat pocket
~old in tin cases, divided into sepande doses, as administered by
Valpeau, Lallemand, Roux, Ricord, &c.,

TRIESEMAR No. 1 is a Remedy for RE-
LAXATION, SPERMATORRIREA, and all the distressing
onsequences arising from early abuse, indiscriminate excesses, or too
long residence in hot climates. It has restored bodily and sexual
strength and vigour to thousands of debilitated individuals who are
now in the enjoyment of health and the Functions of Manhood; and
whatever may be the cause for DISQUALIFICATIONS for MAR-
MIAGE, they are effectually subdued by this Wonderful Discovery.
TRIESEMAR No. 11.,

effectually, in the short space of three days, completely and entirely
eradicates all traces of Gonorrhoea, both in its mild and aggravated
'orms, Oleets, Strictures, Irritation of the Bladder. Non-retention of
Urine, Pains of the Loins and Kidneys, and those disorders which
Copaivi and Cubebs have so long been thought an antidote for, to the
tutu of the health of a vast portion of the population.
TRIESEMAR No. 111.,
!E the great Continental Remedy for Syphilis and Secondary Symp-
toms. It also constitutes a certain cure for Scurvy, Scrofula, and all
Cutaneous Eruptions, removing and expelling in its course all corrup-
tions and impurities from the vital stream, as altogether to eradicate
the virus of disease, and expell it with the insensible perspiration
through the medium of the pores of the skin and urine, and is a
never-failing remedy for that class of disorders which unfortunately
the English Physician treats with 3leroury, tothe inevitable destruc-
tion of the patient's constitution, and which all the Eariaparilla iv
the world cannot restore.

A MOTHER'S FUNERAL.—an elderly woman Wa,4 in-
terred on Wednesday last in Bradford parish churchyard.
The funeral was attended by her two sons, who, before
the earth had been closed over the coffin, disputed
respecting the few articles of furniture their deceased pa-
rent had left. The words used were anything but be-
cominz, resulted in blows, and eventually a regular
stand-up fight took place amongst the gravestones.--

for the discussion of the principles of Free Trade.
The nations, it would appear, have responded to
the invitation of the Belgians with alacrity. Even
Spain, generally tprpid in these matters, has sent
two commissioners ; while Holland has proved, by
her representatives, that she is advancing bravely
to that style of commercial freedom which we
enjoy.

It must be confessed that the moment for the
Congress is opportune. The King has just com-
pleted a round of triumphs in the various cities of
his kingdom. The principles which he propounded
when he stepped upon the throne have been faith-
fully adhered to. Encompassed by great despotic
governments, he has been enabled by proper con-
cessions to public business, to respect the freedom
of his people, and to maintain order, when sur
rounded by the clamour of an European revolu-
tion. A quarter of a century has shown that the
Belgian people know how to govern themselves ;
and there is perhaps no stranger contrast upon the
face of the earth than that presented to the travel-
ler who approaches Brussels from the French fron-
tier. On one side of a railway station you must.
talk politics in a whisper—you must be chary in
the use of names. Oh the other, you may talk
loudly about the imperial policy, and, ifitSo please
you, deploy a sheet of L'Bomme upon your knees.
Well, it is on this, the free side, that a certain
number of gentlemen, interested in the simplifica-
tion of tariffs, and in the general march of nations
towards commercial freedom, determined to meet
to discuss the principles of Free Trade, and their
influence upon the world.
Since last the question was raised on the Conti-
nent the world has seen many and astounding politi-
cal changes. And men have grown on the whole
wiser ; because every civilisea nation has become
daily better acquainted with its neighbours. We
need not look beyond this city to be convinced of
the fact. The prejudiced men who, while crying
for political freedom, as loudly called for commer-
cial bondage, are disappearing. Little knots of
clear-sighted men —generally, let us allow, moved
by their personal interests—are arising all over the
Continent to do battle with high tariffs ; to point
to the greatness of free-trade England in compari-
son with protected France or Belgium; and to
demonstrate the necessity of competing with Great
Britain by a loyal. rivalry on fair grounds, rather
than behind solidly built custom-houses. Among
the continental nations where the policy of free
trade has been ventilated, we must place Belgium
first and Holland second. There are men—and
eminent commercial men in this city, in Antwerp,
and in Liege—who have openly pronounced in.
favour of a policy that should end in complete com-
mercial freedom. Only on the 17th of last Febru-
ary the Belgian Association for Promoting Customs
Reforms met to point out to the public the absurd
construction of the Belgian tariff. And absurd
enough does this tariff appear when we find that
Belgium—after England, the largest producer of
iron and coal upon the face of the earth—is com-
pelled to buy her iron ships from Holland ; that the
ship-builders of Bremen and Hamburg can build at
25 per cent. less cost than the Belgian ship-builder.
And why ? Because, in the absence of competition,
the raw materials cost the Belgian builder 60 per
cent. more than their intrinsic value. If you turn
to the article of spun cotton for a second illustra-
tion—an article without which lace manufacturers
cannot exist—we find that while spun cotton above
No. 170 English, pays an import duty of only ss.
per 200 lbs., all coarser threads are kept out of
the country by a tariff so exorbitant as to amount
to prohibition. rhe consequence is, according to
one of the leading Belgian houses, that the manuac-
ture of tulle with threads below N 0.170 is impossibl e in
Belgium. The foregoing instances may suffice to
give the reader an idea of the state in which the
Customs tariff of Belgium remains. It is at once
as ingenious and as illiberal as that of France ; for
while the French custom-house officer is kept on
the look-out for wolfs' teeth that ho may levy a
duty upon every hundred, the Belgian douanicr is
directed to prohibit the transit through the Belgian
territory of nightingalevinni-fftinots: - But it is
when the French and Belgian Governments meet
to arrange mutual treaties that we discover the ex-
travagances of which a protective system is capable.
In a treaty passed between the two countries on
the 27th of February, 1854, we find spun hemp and
flax placed upon a sliding scale of 18U stops. Thus
there are no less than 180 distinct duties on these
threads. Such ingenious protective ladders re-
quire exceedingly clever custom-house officers to
use them. And the result is significant. The
Belgian customhouse officer appears sorely puz-
zled when called upon to place any article upon the
endless sliding scale of the country. He may be
seen measuring and weighing, cutting, and apply-
ing his magnifying glass to cotton threads, to iron,
to seed, to tobacco, to pottery, dried fish,
sorely puzzled where to class any single object.
Indeed, so utterly bewildered were the Customs
authorities on the passing of the memorable treaty
to which I have referred that on the morrow of its
signature an international congress was held at
Lille to endeavour to unravel it.

And what is the result of all this protective in-
genuity ? Why, that a revenue of eleven or twelve
millions of francs costs between 25 and 30 per cent.
in collection. More, the heavy protective duties
levied in Belgium upon raw material—upon iron
and cotton thread, for instance—far from assuring
labour to the workint, classes, limits it. As I
have already remarked, the free pirts of the
Baltic can build iron ships 25 per cent. cheaper
than the Belgian shipbuilders. Holland almost
monopolises the iron ship-building of Belgium.
And why ? Because free trade Holland re-
ceives English iron at the rate of 108. per 200 lbs.,
while protected Belgium has to buy iron rained
from her own soil and smelted with native coal,
some three shillings dearer ! But this is not all.
The iron-masters of Liege, while they compel their
countrymen to pay upwards of thirteen shillings
for 200 lbs. of iron, are able to sell the same quan-
tity at Rotterdam (where they are not protected) at
the English price. Thus the natural richness of
the soil is made a curse instead of a blessing. It is
the commerce of Holland—not of Belgium—that
the duty on iron protects. If we turn to the coal
trade we find the same story repeated. The French-
man buys Belgian coal between 10 and 20 per cent.
cheaper than the Belgian himself can get it. And
why ? Because the Belgian is protected—or wag
protected—against the importation of foreign coal.
This glance at the Customs tariffs of Belgium
will explain to the reader the eagerness with which
many Belgian manufacturers have joined an asso-
ciation destined, lot us bppe, to rid them of pro-
tection altogether. From the organisation of such
a national association to the development of an
international Congress was a natural step, more
especially in Brussels, where universal peace and
penal reforms have already been questions of at-
traction that have drawn commissioners from
various parts of Europe to King Leopold's capital.
And, so far as I am able to judge from the names
of some of the gentlemen who compose the forth-
coming Congress, I think it will probably result in
a revision of the Belgian, if not of other tariffs. As
already stated, we see even Spain represented. As
the Belgians had a right to expect, England has
responded to their invitation by, sending about
forty commissioners, including six gentlemen who
have come to represent the decimal system pro-
posed by the active association of the Adelpbi.
Among other interest.ng papers to be submitted to
the Congress are—one from the authorities of Bir-
mingham, comparing the tariffs of various nations,
and endeavouring to show their results upon the
industries which they respectively govern ; and a
history of Free Trade, from Newcastle.
Count Arrivabene, the President of the Bea •
nomistes Beiges, is, I believe, to preside over the
sittings of the Congress.

I append the organic rules drawn .up by the
central committee, which it is important to under-
stand in order to follow the proceedings of the
Congress from day to day, and section by section :

Art. 3. Objects, and means of realising thern.---The
object of the Congress being to collect awl form an as-
semblage of all facts, ideas, and theories relating to trsdrs
as between_ nations, and to deduce from them practice
conclusions• or the benefit of the human race in generali
and of each nation in particular, all opinions may be
freely rind fully expressed, as well in the committees as
in the general and public sittings of the Congress. Each
proposition, resolution, or ameedinent suinntaeri to the
Congress, must be supported by at least five members,
and will be submitted to the committee to whose depart-
merit it more especially relates ; in case of doubt the
managing committee will decide.
Art. 4. Organisation of the Congress.—The Congress
is divided into three principal committees, who will di-
vide their labours as follows : No. 1. The committee
on legislation. No. 2. The committee on statistics,
'ivided into three sub-committees : 1. On agricultural
statistics ; 2. On manufacturing statistics ; 3. On cow-
nercial statistics. No. 3. The committee on proposi-
ions. Each member of the Congress is requested to in-
erihe his name on the list of such committee as ho
elieves that he can render most assistance to.
Art. 5. Functions and Meetings of the Committees.
The members present in Brussels will assemble in
:eneral preparatory'committee on the eve of the open-
ing of the-Congress. This meeting will take place at 14,
Rue de i'Ecuyer. At this meeting the organisation
committee will submit such propositions as it shall deem ,
most likely to insure the success of the undeitaking.
rhe committee will meet each day, commencing on the
22d September, at 2 o'clock in the morning, in places
provided for
.them. They will name their president,
secretaries, and reporters. The presidents of the coca-
mittee will be ex officio, members of the managing nom. _
(nittee of the Congress. The reports will be made in a
condensed form, in order not to absorb the time of the
public sittings. The functions of the committee will be
divided as follows : No. 1 will receive and examine all •
documents, propositions, and statements relating to the
commercial legislation, whether domestic or interne-
tional, of each country. It will point ont the facts of
such legislation, the anomalies, contradictions, and con-
sequences, favourable or unfavourable, resulting from
it, and the modifications which might be benefi-
cially introduced. Committee No. 2 will collect
in its three sections or sub-committees all facts
and documents, statistical or otherwise, concerning
~
the three great branches of human industry, agricul-
ture, manufactures, and commerce. On the one
band, the changes to which agricultural or ma,nufactur-

ing labour is subject, the cost-of production in
the questions as to credit and transport relating to it, the
fiscal mother hindrances which lessen the tendency to
production, or the favours which stimulate it. On the
other hand, the statistics of international trade, the price
of produce in different countries, expenses of transport,
duties, dues, taxes, or exactions to which commerce is
subject, &c., so as to enable a general report to be pre-
sented, furnishing a picture of the various conditions
under which exchanges are effected between all the mem-
bers of the human facilv. In conclusion, the third com-
mittee will receive the different propositions which may
be addressed to the Congress, will examine them, and re-
fer them, in case of necesioty, to the particular commit-
,tee the labours of which they relate to. It will prepare
resolutions to be submitted to the Congress, and classify
and examine the propositions emanating from individual
members]; it will be bound to lay before the general
committee for submission to the Congress such proposi-
tions only as shall be supported by at least five MEnt.)ers.
Every proposition, reso ution, or amendment whichshall
not relate to one of the tNo general questions, to deli-
berate upon which the Co, geese is summoned, will at
at once he rejeCted by the committee, which will .not be
hound to make aly mention of it. It Will be compe-
tent, however, to submit to the Congress for pure and
simple consideration, such of these propositions as may
be of general interest or utility, having a reference to
the principal object of the Congress.
Art 6. Of the PublicSittiegs.—The general and publio
sittings will be held in the large Gothic hail of the Hotel
de Vile a' Brussels ; they will open on the 221, 23d,
and 24th of September, 1856, each day at 1 o'clock in
the afternoon precisely, and terminate at 5 o'clock. The
managing committee may appoint one or two evening
sittings. They will be conducted according to the rules
of deliberative assemblies of the country. Speeches may
be delivered in all languages. Speakers are requested
to give, in writing, a copy, or at least a summary of their
spet.ches in case they should not be able to be reported.
Art. 7. Ma; aging Committee—The managing coax-
mittee will be composed of a president, and 24 vice-pre-
sidente, of whom at least one will be selected from each
nation, represented at the Congress, and of
,eight secre-
taries, including the four secretaries of the committees.
The secretaries will arrange amongst themselves the ne-
cessary business to be attended to. The managing com-
mittee will fulfil the functions usual in deliberative assem-
blies.

Art. 8. Committee for E citing and Publication.—The
managing committee will appoint a special committee of
seven of its members, charged with everything relating
to publications by the Congress.
Art. 9. Finance.—A finance committee composed of
seven members, chosen from the principal nations repre-
sented at the Congress, will be appointed at the prepa-
ratory meeting of the 21st SepteMber, and will at once
assume its functions. This committee will consult as to
ways and 1131341414 of providing for the expenses .of the
Congress, and for producing from it practical results.
Art. 10. General Arrargements.—All propositions
which the several ectninittetN Oval think it right to make
within the limits traced for the present Congress will
be subolitted to the f,,,,,neral assembly, and decided upon
public sitting ; such propositions as go outside the
programme of the present meeting will be referred to a
subsequent assembly, of which the time. and place will
be appointed by the Congress.

SERIOUS COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

We regret to announce the total loss, by collision, of
the fine iron ship Imogene, Captain Williams, from
this port for Pernambuco, hich was ran into yester-
day morning by the screw-steamer Falcon, bound from
Cork to Liverpool. The steamer struck the Imogene
on the port bow, and cut her down to the water's
edge. The fore 'compartment of the Imogene was im-
mediately filled with water, and had the vessel not
been fitted with water-tiget compartments she must
have sunk instantly, with all on board. The steamer
did not stop her engines for ioine time after the col-
lision took place. AR the steamer left the Imogene,
the captain of the latter vessel hailed her, and requested
her to lay by him, as he thought his vessel was sinking ;
this the steamer did for two hours, by which time it was
evident, in spite of the utmost exertions of Captain
Williams and his crew, that the Imogene was fast
sinking, and having, at this time, the main compartment
also nearly full of water, they were obliged to abandon
her in their own boats and take refuge on board the
steamer, which they had scarcely done when the Imogene
went down head foremost. This vessel bad a most
valuable cargo on beard, estimated to be worth not less
than 60,0001., and was commanded by a man of great
experience and judgment. She was nearly new, having
been built by Messrs. Cato and Co., of this port, about
eighteen months since, for Messrs. C. T. Bowring and
Co,, by whom she was owned,
A passenger on board the Falcon has furnished us with
the following additional particulars :
"At three o'clock on Sunday morning a fearful colli-
sion took place close to the Bargy Lights, between the
Imogene, of this port, Williams, master, hound for Per-
' nambuco, in the Brazls, wi'h a most valuable general
cargo, and the steam-ship Falcon, Hynes, master, on her
pas-age from Cork to Liverpool. Up to the very mo-
ment of the colli4on the pa,seaee of the steamer was all
that c old be desired, the sea being unusually cairn, with
but a. very slight breeze blowing. At the hour men-
tioned she was steaming away gallantly, uncliir full can-
vas, at the rate of about eight knots per hour, when, all
of a sudden, a terrific crash was heard, followed by
simultaneous and heartrending sSriek from the emigrants
on board (about 80), who cried out, 'The steamer is
blowing up,' and rushed about her decks in wild confu-
sion. The steamer struck the Imogene on the bow,
making a hole of such magnitude that her forecastle was
speedily filled with water ; the steamer had half her side
tal:en away, but being uninjured iu bottom or machinery.
The Imogene had been sailing on the windward tack,
and displayed three large lights in her rigging. The
t,iatner had also lights on board. The moon was shining
brightly at the time, and scarcely a wavelet was to be
observed on the occasion. The loss of the unfortunate
Imogene was soon ascertained to be inevitable, and Capt.
Williams signalled the Falcon to come to her relief. The
small boats of the steamer were immediately launched and
put off to the rescue of the crew of the Imogene, which
was now fast settling by the bead. They succeeded in
about an hour in lodging every one of the crew on board
the steamer. Capt. Williams was the last man to leave
his ship, which he had scarcely done when she sank. Not
a particle of the cargo, which wise valued at 60,0001., was
saved. There were two ladies passengers on board the
Imogene, one of whom lost 2,0001., and the other 7001.
The Imogene was 386 tons register. She was a new
It
vessel, on, her third voyage.

" THE SOUND OF THE CEIURCH-GOING BELL."—we
have this morning (says a letter from Widdin of the
27th ult.) heard a sound which the people of Bulgaria
have not heard fur ages—the sound of a bell calling the
Christians to church in order to thank God That the Sul-
tan has been pleased to rest,re tu us our liberty of wor-
Widdiu is the first Bulgarian town that has re-
ceived atoll. The Turks have complained to the Paeba
about it, but he has referred them to the Sultan.
The Ghost of Hamlet's father—that is, the respectable
actor who represents his buried Majesty on the stage of
the Berlin Theatre—has been fined fifty dollars on a com-
plaint of the manager, for contumacious disobedience
at his superior's orders. Alas, poor ghost ! if the so-
count we read,of the transaction be correct, he was jus-
tified in doing what he di.l. The trapdoor through
which he had been obliged to make his noiseless exit wa
too narrow for the passage of his incorporeal persin,
and one evening Iris arm and shoulder were sorely
grazed as he went below. In some anxiety lest this
dangerous and inconvenient ,descent should convert
h. .
into a ghost indeed, the actor petitioned for a
wider trapdoor, but the manager refused to attend to
his request. On the next occasion of his revisiting the
glimpses of the footlights, the prudent ghost declined to
put his foot upon t:4, treirid,icr, arid c access
the stage, when his part was done,. with a pair of
creaking boots which did not enhance the awfulness of
the vanishing apparition.
