THE DUBLIN POLICE BILL.

• Lord Naas' new bill has roused a very angry
discussion in the Roman Catholic press.

VALENTIA, WEDNESDAY, 6 P.M.
Prince Alfred visited the offices of the Brit:Bh
and Irish Magnttic Telegraph to-day, and after-
wards proceeded to the quarries and works of the
Valentia Slate Company, the cliffs of the Loher
and lighthouse. His Royal iiighuess will remain
here a day or two.

DEATH FROM THE ADMINISTRATION OF CHLOROFORM.
—An inquest was held yeet. rday at the Elephant and
C.i.stle Camden-town. on the body of Mrs. Ann Farey,
the wife of a butcher in King-street. The deceased was
taken with the pains of labour prematurely, and on a
surgeon being sent for it was thought necessary to ad-
minister chloroform previous to the operation. This was
accordingly done, the usual tests to ascertain if there vas
any disease of the heart having been applied. Toe de-
ceased, however, died while under the influence r. f the
chloroform. Several medical men proved that the con: se
adopted was a proper one, and a verdict was returned
that deceased died from the effects of chloroform acting
upon a diseased heart.
rADVERTISESIENTJ.—The science of health and pathology has
for cycles of centuries been iuvolved in such obscurity and
contradictions—so many unsuccessful efforts have been made
in every age to produce something which would eradicate
existing disease, without creating still greater evils, that we
are predisposed to take a desponding view of all endeavours
to effect an improvement upon the old and imperfect systems
of treatment. But when we find the spontaneous testimony
of men of the most exalted rank and character adduced in
proof of the remedial virtues of a given therapeutic agent—
when we see suchmen attesting their personal experience, and
their gratitude for the relief they have received whenlabour-
ing under disease in its most harassing form—we have facts
which it would be absurd to doubt or dispute. Incredulity it-
self must give way before such declarations as those of Lord
Stuart de Decies, Archdeacon Stuart, Captain Bingham,R.N.,
&c., in grateful acknowledgment of the bent,fibe they have
derived from the use of Du Barry's R ,valeata Arabica
Food. And when, of the myriads who owe the
blessings of recovered health to this preparation, no less than
fifty thousand persons have performed the duty of describ-
ing its effects upon themselves, we feel that it is alto-
gether removed from the ordinary category of what are called
" patent me deines," and that it is entitled to take rank
amongst the most substantial blessings that have yet been
conferred upon our species. Amongst those thus relieved
are persons of all ages and professions, and the restored in-
valids include a large proportion of clergymen, and indivi-
duals of sedentary habits; as well as of the clasa..s engaged in
active occupations. In numerous instances' the disorder had
been of very long standing, ranging from three to upwards of
sixty years; and amongst the more prominent of the mala-
dies successfully dealt with, have boon dyspepsia (indiges-
tion), constipation, functional irregularity, obstructions,
acidity, cramps, spasms, fits, heartburn, diarrlema, nervous-
ness, biliousness, affections of the liver and kidneys, flatulency,
detention, palpitation of the heart, nervous headache, deafness,
noises in the head and ears, giddiness, pains between the
shoulders, ant in almost every p art of the body, chronic in-
flammation and ulceration of the stomach, eruptions on the
skin, scurvy, fever, scrofula, impurities, poverty of blood,
consumption (if not boycnd human 51d), dropsy, rheumatism,
gout, influenza, giippe, naus,,a and vomiting during preg-
nancy, after eating, or at sea, low spirits, spleen, gzneral
debility, pa, alysis, cough, asthma, tightness across the chest,
phlegm, inquietude, sleeplessness, involute.ary blushing,
tremors, dislike to society, unfitness for stu ly, delusion,'
loss of memory, vertigo, blood to the head, exhaustion, me-
tench .Iy, grouudltss fear, indecision, wretchedness thoughts
of self-destruction, & When facts, such as we have referred
to, are palpably and indisputably proved, we feel bound to
admit that at length a real advance has been made
towards the great object of effectually comb tting some
of too worst ills which flesh is proverbially heir to

It is stated that the frequent irregularities in the
mail service between London and Paris and the
unnecessarilyleng time occupied in the transit have
given rise -to several plats for the insprOvement and
acceleration of the postal communication. The
night or principal Mail, conveyed by Dover and
Calais, now leaves London at 8.80 p.m., and
Paris at 7.30 p.m., ...and
.Oc3Upies 12i hours
from .capital to capital, even when the appointed,
time is strictly observed-. This is considerably
longer than the advocstes of the- route stated it
would require in their evidence before the House.( f
Commons in 1850,- and it is calculated that from
one howls one hour and a half could be saved by •
greater speed on the rail on either side, leaving
neatly the same margin kir the sea transit as at
present. If a carriage were provided for sorting
the letters while in transit on the South-Eastern
Itiilway, as is done on, the French:Northern, the
letters could .be distributed in London by the first
delivery, and those for the provinces expedited by
the day mails. Such a result would render the pre-
sent day mail, also conveyed by Dover and Calais,
absolutely superfluous. This mail is now 15 hours
in transit either way, and the time of landing at
Calais corresponds with the most unfavourable state
of the tides when they are low, causing frequent
irregularities. - • Should, however, the Calais-route
be maintained b ,th for this and the other mail,- it -
is propo3ed to substitute for the existing day mail a,
d,y mail leaving London and Paris respeciiiely ak,l
7.30 a m., and accomplishing the through route in
11 hours. Thig would admit of letters posted in '
the one capital Ltte in the evening, after the even-
ing's mail bad el ,sed, or very early in the morn-
ing, :being delivered the: next evening at the
otter capital, and would afford a really Ustful,
suPplementa-rY service to the principal night mail.
It has, moreover, been suggested that a further -
most important 'improvement would result from -
sending this per day mail via BOulogne, as it could
then be conveyed in 10 hours, arid letteis. leaving
Paris at
_7 30 a.m. would easily reach London at
5.30 p.m. The hour of binding Or enibarkitig at
Boulogne would be that at _which the tide wail.—
rnait of'en snit and little doubt is expressed that -
the servica' would
.et least be as regular as the night
mail via Calais. Finally, there would remain the -
roost important 'advanaage that, as Boulogne is
always accessible in N. and E. gales, when Calais
is it ace-ssible, and Calais is always open in S. and
W. dales, when the access to Boulogne is difficult
or impossible, the two services would n,ver be in-
terrupted by stress of weather at the same time,
and one of them at least would be accomplished
every day. Thos the total interruption of com-
munication that has more than once happened lately
in 'sisterly gales, from the fact of both mails going:
via Calais, would become icupcesible_for the iuture
and the special advantages of both Doulogne and.!
Calais would le made available to secure to the
public the shortest and most reaular postal com-
munication with the continent.—Times.

PETITIONS TO TIIB LORDS AGAINST
CHURCH RATES.

In obedience to a numerously signed requisition:
the Mayor of Derby convened a public meeting in
the Gu ldhall, on Friday, to petition the House of
Lords in support 'of the Church-rate Abelit on Bill
that has recently passel the House of Commons..
There was a largeattendance. Mr. Councillor Spur-
geen occupied the chair. Thefitstresolution, moved
by the Rev. J. Walker (Indepeu dent), and seconded
by the Rev. G. Taylor (Baptist), was carriecl'una-
himorsly: On the next resolution, moved by the
R3V. W. Griffith, and seconded by the Rev. J,
Merwood, an amendment was submittel by the
Rev. J. 1). M tssingharn and Mr. Rateliff to this
eff-e+—" Teal this meeting recognise the fact that
alt rations are needed in the law of church t at, s,
and that the fabrics and churchyards 'Jane, as pa-
rochi4l pro, city, should claim parochial support,
and that the expenses of divine worship fall upon
the congregatien, and that a petition to the House
of Lords to this effect be agreed to." On a show
of 11,,n1s being taken this was lost by a large majo-
rity. Councillor Bates moved and Councillor
Etches seconded the petition, which was adopted.
'At Aylesbury, on Wednesday, the nth,_ a meet-
ing was held in the Lecture room. Mr. H. Watson,
the churchwarden and a Churchman, was chairman,
and said Le felt it an insult to
.offer him any boon
to facilitate his worshipping in the way he thought
best ; an 1 he believed the Church would prosper all
the more if the unconditional abrogation of church
rates were at once carried. Etch sect would then
ba in a poAtion to do its own work with its own
instrumentality and means, and they would be free
from the imputation of taking money from the
pockets of others to support their own worship.
Messrs. Gibbs, Dickens, Shaw, and Walker, and
the Rev. Messrs. Gates and Leaker sustained the
prcc edinge.
On Wednesday last there was an- eritlitisit .tic
meeting in the Town-hall, Southampton,' at which
Mr. C. Williams attended as a deputation. Mr. A.
Pegler was chairman, and Messrs.Lankester,Clark,
Falvey, Tucker, Dowrnan, and Randall took part
in the proceedings, in addition to Mr. Williams,
who dealt with the arguments put forward on the
other side at the eloe of the contest in the House
of Commons. An interesting feature in the pro-
ceedings was the appearance of the Rev. N. Cotton,
a curate of the establishment, who combatted the
views of the deputation, and was very quietly
listened to. He admitted that there were many
illegaliies in the levying of church rates, but said
they were sanctioned by the vestries. He did not
think the bulk of those who objected to these rates
did so on principle, though they came to the
churches to be baptised, &o. lie thought theehurch
had not acted faithfully or honestly towards the
people, and emphatically condemnr,d the pew-rent
system. One of his statement 4, to the effect that if
the rate was abolished it ;would be added to the
rent, was promptly met by Mr. Randall, who said
that, instead of paying more, he paid less rent now
thin when a rata was levied.

On Friday evening last a public meeting was
held in the Ind9p-endent Chapel, Christchurch. W.
Tice, Eiq., of Sopley Park, occupied the chair.
The Rev. S. Knell, of Throop, moved a resolution
to the effect that the bill having passed the House
of 0 3111 MODS was a matter for hearty rejoicing ; that
a petition in favour of the bill be presented to the
House of Lords, and placed in the hands of the
Earl of Malineshury (who resides in the immediate
neighbourhood) for preskntation. This was seconded
by R. D. Sharp, Esq., and supported, in a speech
of much persuasive eloquence and convincing
power, by J. Carvell Williams, Esq., secretary of
the Liberation Society. The

held at Alter), at Tottenham, and at Thirsk. At
the last-named town a Wesleyan minister moved
the adoption of the petition.

The aggregate number of patients relieved' at the

during the week ending Saturday, Jane, 19, was, medi-

[aDvER,TIBEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills
have again cured an ulcerated leg. Charles Mania, of
Winchester, was for 16 years afflicted with an ulcerated
leg ; there were 13 wounds in it of an alarming charac-
ter, and be tried every remedy that professional skill
could devise, which, however, only made him worse, and
with di,ease and r offering he became a mere skeletor.
About 10 months ago he commenced using Holloway's
Ointment and Pill', and those wonderful remedies in 12
weeks left him without a wound or blemlab, enjoying
sound and robust health.—Sol I by all medicine vendors
