THE UNION OF ME DANUBIAN
PRINCIPALITIES.

would be found in the establishment of a free and inde-
pendent community, whose freedom would be guaranteon
ed
by the great Powers of Eurdpee and in the constituti
of a kingdom through which alone on the.land side Rus
sia could ever attack Turkey What better protection
could there be than the establishment of such a country
as a barrier to an invasion of Turkey on the part of Rus-
sia (Loud cheers.) He Wa3 glad that the present op•
portunity was not to be lost, and if they succeeded in the
otjece which they had in view they would be the means
of placing a free community in that precise position upon
the frontiers of Russia, Austria, and Turkey in which it
was essential for the peace of Europe that there should
be a free community, and of enabling the Principalities
to occupy such a position in reference to Turkey, Russia,
and Austria as Belgium occupied with regard to Ger
many, and Sardinia to Italy. (Cheers.) He could not
help feeling that that was a policy which, if once adopted,
would insure the welfare of the Principalities, redound
to the honour of this country, and secure the peace and
prosperity of the world at large. (Loud cheers.)
The resolution was tben agreed to, as also was a me-
morial praying for the union of Moldavia and Wallachia.
Dr. RuGE briefly addressed the meeting, urging the
importance of energetic action before the freedom of the
Principalities was entirely destroyed. It was useless to
sympathise now with Hungary or Poland, because the
cause of those countries was lost, but a proper appeal on
the part of England at the present moment in favour of
the Moldavians and Wallachians might influence the de•
eision of the rest of Europe, and secure the future liberty
and independence of those countries. For his own part
he believed that if the Principalities were erected into a
free kingdom they would constitute a most effectual
barrier to the aggressive spirit of Russia, and secure the
peace of Europe. (Cheers.)
A vote of thanks having been passed to the Mayor for
presiding, the proceedings were closed by three cheers
for the union of the Principalities.

OUT ON THE WORLD,
By HENRY OWGAN, LL.D.
A cleverly constructed plot, developed with all the skill of a
practised hand hi this class of composition, and enlivened by a
spirited, graceful, and flowing style of writing, forms the chief claim
which the book has on the attention of the reading public. - The
actors in the story are strikingly portrayed. The Interest of the

interruptien."—Morning Post.

CHATHAM, OCT. 7.
The Ariel, steam 4essel, belonging to the Waterman's
Steam Packet Company, left Woolwich early this morning
with 200 convicts from the Warrior hulk, and arrived here
to-day in charge of Capt. Buller, the governor of the con-
solidated convict establishment at' this garrison. iWhen
the necessary arrangements are completed the • whole of
the convicts now on board the hulks at Woolwich will be
removed to Chatham, accommodation being provided
the new prison for 1,100 convicts, whereas the Warrior and
Defence hullo; at Woolwich could only accommodate a
little more than half that number. As soon as the whole
of the convicts have been removed the'hulks at Woolwich
are to be broken up, as that system is to be done away
with.
The Southampton, 50, in the fourth dock undergoing ex-
tensive
alterations and repairs, in order to make her fit for
sea, is progressing very fast, and will shortly be completed.
She has had her old copper, which was found to be defec-
tive, stripped off, and new substituted. As soon as she
has been painted she will be floated out of dock and fitted
for the Coast-guard service, Harwich being the port selected
at which she will be stationed.
The Resistance, 10, J. Russell, commander, has her
crew, consisting of upwards of 80 hands, busily engaged in
stripping her, the whole of her stores having been removed
into the Government offices. It is expected that she will
be paid off to-morrow.
The Renown, 91, is progressing very fast, every exertion
being made by the master shipwright and the other dock.
yard authorities to have her completed early next year.
She is to be fitted with a screw, and will, when completed,
be the largest vessel ever turned out of this establishment.
The Racoon, 20, and Charybdes, 20, two of the new class
of steam corvettes, from designs by Sir B. Walker, K.C.8.,
Surveyor of the Navy, have a number of men employed on
board in order to complete them.
The Amphitrite, 26, sailing corvette, hauled into dock
yesterday, at Portsmouth, to be fitted as one of the " sta-
tion ships," for the new Coast-guard arrangements.
We are pleased to notice the promotions of four deserv-
ing officers Messrs. Allen, Johnson, Wilkinson, and
Molloy—from second masters to the rank of masters ;
more particularly the first-named officer, who was in the
President, 50, at the time of the attack on Petropaulovsky,
and who sent home a beautiful and most correct sketch of
the enemy's position, and the attack of the allies and their
discomfiture.
The following appointments were made yesterday at the
Admiralty
The Rev. T. E. Gutteres, Chaplain, to the Royal Albert ;
C. K. Ord, Assistant-Surgeon, promoted to Surgeon ; John
Rodie, Assistant Surgeon, to the Illustrious ; John Cogan,
Assistant Surgeon, to the Victory ; R. 0. Marcon, Acting
Second Master, to the Fisgard.

The New Free Trade Hall in Manchester, which re,
places .the old one where the great League meetings
were held, is to be opened this evening by a meeting of
the proprietors /and their friends, and a grand ball, at
which upwards of 2,000 people are to be present. It is
au (exceedingly handsome stone building in the Lom-
bardo-Venetian style of Italian architecture, the build-
ing contract for which was 25,0001., and the total cost,
including decorations and furnishing, will probably be
about 32,0001. The principal front is to Peter-street,
being about 160 feet long and 75 feet high, in two
storeys. The front of the ground storey is a piazza of
nine arches, resting on massive piers. The spandrels
of these arches are sculptured, displaying on shields en-
c'ircled by branches of laurel and oak the arms of Man-
chester, Salford, and the boroughs of Liverpool, Roch-
dale, Bury, Oldham, Bolton, Stockport, Ashton, and
Wigan. From a projecting cornice over these rises the
upper part of the building, with pedimented windows,
recessed between coupled engaged columns, having lonic
capitals, entablatures, and cornices, over which are
moulded archivolts with deep sunk recesses. In these
recesses are some finely executed sculptures designed to
represent free trade, each of the four quarters of the
globe, arts, manufactures, agriculture, and commerce.
A slab of polished Aberdeen granite, encircled by a
wreath of bold oak leaves, inserted in the spandrels be-
tween these arches, gives a relief in colour which has a
good effsct. Above is a deep frieze, enriched with me-
dallions, festoons, and drops of flowers ; and a bold
cornice, furmounted by a balustrade, on which are the
words "Free Trade Hall," completes the elevation.
Broad piers at each end enclose a front which, notwith-
standing its massive character, presents an appearance
of considerable richness and beauty. The building ex-
tends laterally as far back as Windmill-street, and may
be divided into two sections. The interior of the front
section, as already stated, consists of three storeys above
ground, in the first of which, behind the piazza, are a
series of waiting and other rooms ; in the second a
noble assembly room (76 feet by 37!,,), a drawing-room,
care room, and other apartments ; and in the third a
supper-room (equal in proportions to the assembly-room),
and billiard and other rooms. The other section of the
building, behind this front, contains the grand ball, de-
signed for public meetings, concerts and balls. It stands
over a cellar or basement storey, the floor being abuut
10 feet above the level of the street. It is about 134 feet
long, 73 feet wide, and 52 feet high. This is about 4 feet
longer and 6 feet wider than Exeter-hall. It is the same
length as the old Free Trade Hall, but 27 feet nar-
rower. It has a platform at one end, whilst the other
end of the room is semicircular. A gallery extends
round the sides and semicircular end of the hall, and
above this are also five balconies at the semicircular
end. The ceiling is fist, having a very deep cove round
it, and contains five circular lights each of 13 feet
diameter, so that the room will be adapted for day
as well as evening meetings. It will seat comfortably
4,000 people, and will accommodate more than 7,000
standing. There is, perhaps, no hall in the kingdom of
handsomer proportions, or better designedfor the purposes
to which it is to be devoted. The gallery is compara-
tively low, so that the audienoe, when seated in it and
in the body of the hall, will seem almost identica', and
forms an ornamental stringeourse in the depth plynth or
surbase. The colouring and decoration of this hall have
been designed with much taste by Mr. George Jackson,
in whom the architect of the building, Mr. ‘Valters, has
had an able coadjutor. Looking at the interior of this
hall, one of the most striking features that attract the
eye is the absence of pillars and every obstruction to
sight and hearing. The ceiling, notwithstanding its
great span of 78 feet in width, and greater length, is
upheld without any support from within, and has an
exceedingly light and graceful appearance, though really
composed of very heavy materials in iron and plate-glass.
The gas-lights for evening meetings are by Mr. Brad-
ford, of Manchester, on a plan similar to that of the
House of Lords, but with improvements, securing good
ventilation. The staircases and corridors, giving ingress
and egress to the hall and various parts of the building,
are wide and commodious, and these are so well con-
trived that it is calculated that three great meetings
might be held in various parts of this new Free Trade
Hall at one time, without fear of confusion, each meet-
ing-room having its own separate committee and retir-
ing rooms for private business. The generai contractor
for the building was Mr. George Harrop, of Manchester,
and Mr. Thomas, of London, has executed the allegorical
sculptures described in the principal front.

TEE PERVERT M.P. FOR LYMINGTON
CALLED ON TO RESIGN.

The following correspondence has passed between
Mr. Hutchins, M.P. for Lymington, in Hants, and
his constituents, relative to that gentleman's recent
conversion to Roman Catholicism :
"Lymington, Sept. 25, 1856.

" Sir,—We have been requested to transmit to you
the enclosed requisition, signed by 124 electors of this
borough, calling on you to resign your seat in Parlia-
ment, on the ground of your having, since your return
for this place, renounced the Protestant faith. We believe
that yours is the only instance ou record of a member of
Parliament retaining his seat after becoming a Roman
Catholic. Painful as such fact is, still we hope you will
yet see the necessity of retiring, so that, however
deeply we may regret the step you have taken, we may
nevertheless find that it does not prevent your acknow-
ledging the justice of the principle—that a Protestant
constituency ought to be represented by a Protes-
tant representative. We beg to add that, should you
decline to comply with the request of the requisition, it
will be published, in order that it should be known that
there are some electors of thud borough who justly value
their religious principles above their political rights.
We are, sir, your obedient servants,

THE PANAMA DIFFIOULTY.

" Gentlemen,—l beg 0 acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the 25th ult., which accompanied a requi-
sition from some of the electors of Lymington, calling
upon me to resign my seat in Parliament. The cover,
was addressed to Easton,' instead of Eaton-square ;
so that it did not come into my hands until yesterday
afternoon. It will take me some time to go over the
signatures, in order to ascertain who the parties are
who have signed the requisition. I shall lose no time,
however, in doing so, and will then send an answer to.it,
which, of course, must also be made public. You are in
error in stating that mine is the only instance of a mem-
ber of Parliament retaining his seat after becoming a
Catholic. Yon desire me to acknowledge the justice of
the principle that a Protestant constituency ought to
be represented by a Protestant representative.' Iu my
opinion a member is sent to Parliament to represent the
political principles, and not the religious opinions, of his
constituents ; nor have I heard that the religious opi-
niens of those Catholics who have represented English
constituencies, or those of the-Protestants who have re-
presented Irish ones, litArpTC. vented tbeineirlini doing
their duty to those whose political interests they were
sent to Parliament to serve.—l am, gentlemen, your
faithful anti obedient servant,

" Gentlemen,—l have now had an opportunity of
more fully considering the subject brought under my
notice by your letter of the 25th ult., and the memorial
which accompanied it. Six menthe ago, on joining the
Catholic Church, I placed myself in communication
with my eupporterg, tendering them my resignation.
Had I found that any considerable number were of
opinion that I ought to resign, I was prepared at once
to have taken that step ; but, on the contrary, I was
strongly urged to retain my seat. The requisition which
you have sent me comes at the end of six months,
atter having been five months at least in the course
of signature. It is painful to me to incur the disappro-
bation of any portion of my constituents ; but as I per-
ceive that of the 121 names as appended there are only
32 out of 158 who voted for me at the last election, I
feel that I am better fulfilling my duty by retaining my
seat.—l am, gentlemen, your very faithful and obedient
servant, " E, J. HUTCHINS.

On Monday evening a public meeting was convened
at the Town-hall, Brighton, for the purpose of promot-
ing the union of the Danubian Principalities. There
was a numerous attendance, among those on the plat
form h&ng Mr. Hallett (the Mayor of Brighton), in the
chair, Mr. W. Scholefield, M.P., Signor Bratiano, late
member of the Government of Wallachia, Dr. Ruge, and
several foreigners and influential residents of Brighton

,c edhe of the desirability of
e recurrence
warw was
n
which this country had recently been engaged, and that
if the people of Moldavia and Wallachia lost their inde-
pendence and freedom as a nation, either through the
cajolery of Austria or the chicanery of Russia, it would
not be long before the great Powers of Europe would be
engaged in another struggle. (Hear.)
Letters were here read from several members of Par.
liameut who had been invited to attend the meeting.
Among others one was received from Mr. Roebuck,
who, after regretting his inability to take pert be the
proceedings, said :
" It is my earnest wish that the influence of England
may be used in support of freedom and good government
in the Principalities ; and I am delighted to find that
the public are beginning to take an interest in the des-
times of those countries. They might be made a means
of checking the spirit of despotism which is supported
by Russia, Austria, and Turkey. An independent and
free people placed between those empires would, if
supported by England, greatly aid the advance of,
civilisation in the East, and go far to curb the an
bition of Russia and Austria. My only hope of juste
to the Principalities is in England. Every other nation
that has any influence upon their well-being is an enemy'
to freedom and liberal institutions. But the Govern-
ment of England is, I fear, too much controlled by the
despotic Governments of Europe to permit the power of
England to be employed, as it ought to be employed in
the negotiations which are now taking place with re-
spect to the • Principalities. The people of England,
however, may compel their Government to act wisely.
The expression of public opinion in meetings like the one
contemplated at Brighton: is the: legitimate mode of
bringing that opinion to bear upon the Government, and
that your meeting may be a successful one is my hearty
wish."
Mr. M. D. SCOTT, in proposing the first resolution,
congratulated the people of Brighton on being the first
to raise their voice in favour of an oppressed, but gal-
lant people, and trusted that the feeling manifested in
that town would spread throng hout the country, and
have its due effect on her Majesty's Ministers. It
would be recollected that the situation of the Danubian
Principalities gave rise to considerable discussion at the
Paris Conferences, and that the union of Moldavia and
Wallachia was recommended chiefly upon the ground
that Russia had always made her attacks upon Turkey
through those Principalities. He believed that their
union and erection into an independent hereditary mon-
archy would effectually curb the designs of Russia upon
Turkey ; and he had therefore great pleasure in propos-
ing the following resolution :
"That this meeting is in favour of the union of Mol-
davia and Wallachia, in order to erect the Roumain
people into a free, powerful, and self-governing nation,
as the best barrier against Austria and Russia ; and
that this meeting expresses its earnest hope that the
Government of England will, in conjunction with
France, insist upon the fulfilment of the resolutions of
the Paris Conference, in order to satisfy the just ex-
pectations of the Ronmain people as to their internal
governreent."
Mr. A. DODEON't in seconding the resolution, gave, at
considerable length, a history of the Danubian Princi-
palities, and urged as a(rsason in favour of a union that,
when once united, instead of the Sultan's empire being
weakened, it would be strengthened, and fewer open-
ings would be afforded for foreign intrigue. By consti-
tuting them a self-governing Power, tributary to the
Porte, by opening the trade of the Danube to all nations,
and by permitting the free circulation of Western litera-
ture, he believed that a most effectual barrier would be
established to Austrian or Russian egression.
Mr. SCHOLUIELD, M.P., next addressed the meeting.
He said he had no connexion with the constituency of
Brighton, either locally or politically, which could give
him any ostensible claim upon their notice, but the in-
terest he felt in the subject which formed the object of
discussion, and a desire to do all he could to promote the
union of Moldavia and Wallachia, had induced him to
take part in the proceedings. Of course, the first step
in such a mevement as this was to disseminate 39 widely
and thoroughly as possible all the facts connected with
the subject. Unfortunately, but too little was known
in this country of the circumstances of Moldavia and
Wallachia. In addressing as audience in England upon
the state of Poland, Italy, or Hungary, sympathy was
at once enlisted, because the people understood the ques-
tion • but when any reference was male to Moldavia and
Wallachia the subject was almost unknown, and many
difficulties had to be contended with. Fortunately, the
speeches which had been already delivered enabled the
audience he was addressing to form a better opinion of
the condition of the Principalities than the majority of the
people of this country at present possessed. Upon the
borders of Russia, Turkey, and Austria lay a country
nearly as large as Great Britain, rich in natural resources,
and containing a population of 5,000,000, of Western ori-
gin and lineage, aspiring after Western civilisation and
western liberty, and possessing rights and privileges of the
highest value, in favour of which rights and privileges, bee
ing now in danger, they appealed to England for aid and
protection. The chief of their rights was, of course, that
of national independence. A short time ago we were
too apt to consider the question of Moldavia—and he
must confess that a short time ago he was ignorant of
the question, as, no doubt, most of those present were—
too apt, he repeated, to consider the question of Mol-
davia and Wallachia, as if it were encumbered by the
sovereignty of Turkey. No opinion could be more
erroneous. Turkey had not the shadow of a claim of
sovereignty over the Principalities. But she had what
was called a claim of suzerainty, a tribute paid by the
Principalities for the protection afforded to them by
Turkey, in case those Principalities were attacked by a
third party ; but she was not entitled to a sovereignty
over them. This was the extent of her claim. The
hon. gentleman here referred to an old treaty, professing
to give a view of the Principalities, which he said had
been clearly defined. In order to prove the truth of
this assertion, be would read one or two of the articles
of a treaty between Turkey and Wallachia, which, al-
though an old document, for it dated from thed 16th cen-
tury, had never yet been abrogated, and therefore its
provisions were as valid as they were when they were
originally framed. The first article said :—" The
consents and engages, for himself and his succession, to
protect Wallachia, and to defend her against all enemies,
without exacting anything but a supremacy over the
sovereignty of this Principality, for which the voivodes
shall be bound to pay to the Sublime Porte a tribute of
10,000 ducats." That article established the suzerainty
of Turkey over Wallachia. The second said :—" The
Sublime Porte will interfere in no way in the local ad-
ministration of the said Principality, and no Turk shall
be permitted to come into Wallachia without justifiable
motive." The fifth article was as follows :—" The Wal-
lachian nation (a very remarkable expression) shall con-
tinue to enjoy the free exercise of its own laws, and the
voivodes shall have the power of life and death over their
subjects, as well as the right to make peace or war
without being liable by one of their acts to any sort ot
responsibility to the Sublime Porte." (Hear, hear.)
He believed that it was impossible for the rights and
privileges
of any nation to be b4ter defined than in
that treaty ; and yet the Principalities were now ocees-
pied by an Austrian soldiery, and Turkey, after having
assumed a power which never belonged to her, of con-
voking a " divan ail -hoc," had completed her mischiev-
ous conduct by putting an end to the liberty of the
press. (Hear.) He would ask whether the people of this
country, who were parties to the treaty of Paris, would
sransent to such a complete abnegation of the rights of a
nation. He sincerely believed that they would not, and
he also believed that the time
had now Arrived for
speaking out upon the subject. At the presene moment
the question was under discussion by the pleeepoten-
Caries of Europe. Such an occasion might not arise
again, and he hoped its ould
ly n
enfot beced allowed t
toe case
without the fact being roneor u GO-
vernment that the people of England felt an interest in
the question, and desired the Government
not to respect
and act upon that feeling. They did ask the
Government to interfere in the affairs of the Principa-
lities, or to effect any special reforms, or to lay down a
new constitution ; but all they desired was that Moldavia
and Wallachia should be left free and unfettered to
manage their own internal affairs. No doubt, there
might be many difficulties in the way of making them
free and unfettered, but be thought that if the Govern-
ment of England and those of other countries were
honestly disposed they might relieve those difficulties by
permitting the exiles now absent from the Principalities
to return and ascertain the real opinion of the people of
those states. If he understood rightly what their views
were, they desired, in the first place, a union between
Moldavia and Wallachia, and, secondly, that that union
should be constituted under an hereditary monarchy.
Re should rejoice it it were true that such was the wish
of the people of the Principalities, because he could not
doubt for a moment that the union of Moldavia and
Wallachia would increase their strength, solidity, and
influence ; and be was sure that if they adopted the form
of an hereditary limited monarchy they would adopt that
form of government ;which was the best that human
wisdom had yet devised for conducting the affairs of a
free country. But whether the people of the Principe- h
.
lities decided for a union or not,—whether they decided
for an hereditary monarchy or not,—he, for one, only . - - -

A FEW DAYS AT GREAT MALVERNyZ
The beauties of the scenery for which Great
vern has always been celebrated, have been graphi.
oily_ described by some of the most gifted of mo-
dern pens. Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton-has written
a paper exclusively devoted to an account of the
natural attractions of the place, and of the Medical
establishments for which, of late years, Great Mal-
vern-has become remarkable all over the world.
I recently spent a short time in that interesting
locality, and gladly bear my testimony to all that
has been written regarding its natural beauties.
So far, indeed, from thesa being exaggerated in the
descriptive works which 'have been writteu on the
subject, , the accounts given of the picturesque
scenery which everywhere' meets the eye, falls far
short of the reality. Half of the loveliness of Great
Malvern has not been told. There is something in
the very situation of the place which is unique—at
least, in England ; while the rich and never-ending
• diversity of the panorama cannot fail to awaken
emotions of rapture in the minds of all who have
eyes to discern the beauties of Nature.
These beauties are greatly heightened by the pecu-
liarly grateful and invigorating qualities of the air. It
is so different from what we are accustomed to breathe
in other parts of England, that it is with difficulty
one can persuade himself that he is sojourningin his
native land. There is something so jay-ous so ex-
hilarating in the atmosphere of Great Malvern,
that the visitor feels as if he had been transported
to some healthier and happier planet.
I know of no part of Great Britain which can be
at all compared to this charming portion of Wor-
cestershire. Had I been conducted thither with-
out knowing where I was going, I could not have
believed that I had been transferred to a part of
England. I should have fancied that I had been
whisked away to some of the loveliest spots in,
Switzerland ; for the scenery of Great Malvern re--
markably resembles that which is witnessed inenme
of the softer Alpine regions. It is true, the Swims •
cottages do not meet your eye, but then, on -
the other hand, the houses are unlike any you see
anywhere else. They are all built in a very taste-
,:ful manner, and all display the richness of fancy
possessed by the architect, whil ,erlaihakt the stria
tures, still more striking, there are hardly two in

the place entirely alike.
But, after the gifted writers that have employed
their descriptive powers in seeking to present a pic-
ture of this charming place to the mind's eye of their
readers, it would be a work of supererogation in me
to make any effort to place before the public a pano-
ramic view of this lovely locality. A word or two
with regard to the hydropathic establishments, for
which Great Malvern has of late years become so
justly celebrated, may be less out of place. There
are two water-cure establishments on a very large
scale, namely, those of Dr. Gully and Dr. Wilson.
Both these gentlemen are understood to have made
considerable fortunes. In each of their establish- •
ments there are often as many as from fifty to sixty
patients. The charges vary from two guineas to
five or six per week, according to the rank of the
patients, the nature of the treatment, and the ex-
tent of the accommodation required.
There is another hydropathic establishment on
a smaller scale, which stands very high, and is des-
tined to stand yet higher, in public estimation, as
its peculiar advantages become better known. I
allude to Townsend House, belonging to Dr. Grind-
rod—a gentleman of eminent professional abilities,
and most kind and courteous in his manner. It
was in Dr. Grindrod's house that I stayed during
my brief sojourn in Great Malvern ; and certainly
it would have been impossible to have formed any
previous conception of the cheerfulness, the regu-
larity, the comfort, the happiness, which reign in
his establishment.
This may, im some measure, be accounted for
from the fact that at Townsend House great discri-
mination is exercised with regard to the admission of
patients. Dr. Grindrod only receives those whose
general views he knows to accord with those of the
other inmates. Hence the harmony of feeling and
sentiment is so wonderful, that the stranger is sur-
prised and delighted to find that ho has joined an
establishment in which, though the patients come
from all parts of the country, and were previously
unknown to each other, he is privileged to associate
with a "happy family," of unusually large pro-
portions. Before a stranger has been a day in
L Townsend House, ho feels himself perfectly at
home in the most comprehensive acceptation of the

phrase.
Nothing more forcibly struck me, during my
brief sojourn at Great Malvern, than the exceed-
ing healthy appearance of the patients. They all
looked so lively, as well as happy, that I could not
bring myself to associate with them the idea of ill-
health. Unlike an establishment appropriated to
the reception of persons who were ill, they resem-
bled a group of persons who either never had lost
their health, or already been fortunate enough to
regain it. They had excellent appetites, while
everything was provided for them which was cal-
culated to render their meals wholesome . And-
strengthenino,. There is a prevailing. impression
that at all bydropathic establishments the patients
' are half-starved. There never was a greater mis-
I take. I had not been half an hour in Townsend
House before I was furnished with experimental
proof of the error ; and soon afterwards I found
that all in the establishment were allowed to eat
as much as they pleased of beef, mutton, chicken,
game, ctc.
Another prevailing misconception respecting the
hydropathic mode of treatment is, that it must be
excessively unpleasant to be plunged over head and
ears in cold water. In the first place, in Townsend
House, patients who require it are provided with
baths more or less warm or tepid, according to the
nature of their illness ; and the temperature is daily
lowered, until the patient can comfortably plunge
into cold water, or have cold water poured on him.
In all cases, so far from the inmates feeling it un-
pleasant to have their baths, they take a special
pleasure in them. They regard them as a positive
luxury, and anticipate, with inexpressible delight,
the recurrence of the periods when they take place.
Nothing surprised me more than this, during my
short residence in Townsend House.
One feature in the hydropathic system which
never fails to strike the inhabitants of large
towns, who, for the most part, sit up late at
night, is the early hour at which the patients
retire to- rest, and the early hour also at which
they rise in the morning. By nine o'clock a
very large proportion of the patients retire to
their own rooms, if not to bed ; while it is a very
rare circumstance to see any one moving about
after ten. In the mornings, except in the depth
of winter, the patients are seen beginning to
bestir themselves soon after six o'clock, and by
seven - the whole establishment is in motion. Not
the least interesting part of what is to be seen at
Townsend House is the rapid locomotive exercises
of the patients in the singularly beautiful and ex-
tensive grounds belonging to the establishment,
after they have had their morning baths. Some
content themselves with walking at a pace which a
person, knowing no better, would imagine was the
result of a wager as to what extent of ground could
be gone over in a given time, without breaking into T
a " run ;" while others are to be seen running at
their utmost speed. It is found that these pedes-
trian and racing exercises, immediately after the
patients have had their baths, are eminently con-
ducive to health, and constitute an important part
of the hydropathic system.
I have thus hastily glanced at the natural beauties
with which Great Malvern and the whole of the sur-
rounding country abound—at the singularly salu-
brious and exhilarating properties of the air—at
the comfort of Dr. Grindrod's admirably-conducted
establishment—and at some of the more prominent
features of the cold-Water system. It needs no
prophet to predict that, when the marvellous com-
bination of natural and accidental attractions which
Great Malvern possesses is once sufficiently known,
it will become one of the most favoured places of
resort, both for the seekers of health and of pleasure,
within the wide circle of her Majesty's dominions'
