" What a harvest has the cholera proved to the host of
medical reapers! What sacrifice of human life has their
Ignorance of its cause and tuatment produced ! Many
people deplore the visitation of this much dreaded epi-
demic; but for ourselves we rejoice, in one respect, at its
appearance, as it has been the means of showing up the
faculty in their true colours—it has very clearly proved
That they know nothing of the disease, and that all they
nave done has been by way of experiment, and those ex-
Periments have, in nine cases out of ten, proved fatal to
the unhappy patient ! Why, however, should we confine
Ourselves to the cases of cholera? In almost every case
in which these gentlemen are engaged, the patient either
nukes a speedy exit from all his troubles, or drags on a
lingering life of chronic and consuming disease!"—Spirit

SCOTCH SNUFF-BOXES.—Cumnock, a vil-
lage in the heart of Ayrshire, on the Lugar water, is cele-
brated for• the manufacture of those beautiful wooden snuff-
boxts now so common, a species of trade carried on nowhere
else in Scotland, except at Lausencekirk and Montrose.
It is little more than twenty years since some ingenious
individuals commenced the making of these curious little
cabinets. There are now upwards of a hundred persons,
men, women, and children, employed in the trade, all of
whom get more considerable wages by their labour than
most othtr artizans. Planetree is the wood used in tie
manufacture, and great ingenuity is evinced in adorning
the lids with devic,s. Tne very nice manner in which
the hinges are constructed, so as to be almost invisible, is
deserving of the highest credit. It is calculated that a
piece of rough wood, costing only twenty-five shillirgs,
will make three thousand pounds worth of sauff•boxes.—
Chambers' Edinburgh Journal,

Major REVELL was called to the Chair, and introduced
the business of the evening. He complained of the
enormous Church Establishment of Ireland. Eight hun-
dred thousand Protestants in Ireland required no less than
twenty-two Bishops, whilst eight millions of Protestants
in England bad but twenty-seven. He objected to the
union of Church and State, in support of which objection
he begged leave to quote the opinion of Watson, Bishop
of Llandaff, who said, that if there were to be a National
Church at all, that church should be the church of the
majority.—(Applause.) They ought never to forget that
the interests of England awl Ireland were inseparable; if
Ireland were discontented, we should be discontented
also—if Ireland were badly governed, we should be badly
governed also—if Ireland were unhappy, we ought not
to be contented. Our interests were so intimately con-
nected, that we ought naver to accept of happiness for
a part only, but never rest contented until we had obtained
happiness for the whole.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. MURPHY said the object of their meeting that even-
ing was to express their sympathies with the people of Ire-
land, and to pledge themselves, in case of any attempt on
the liberties of Ireland, to use all their exertions to stimu-
late the per ple of England to second the efforts ofthe Iris':
people. The Government, which in England found itself
compelled to profess liberal principles, acted in Ireland on
principles directly the reverse. • Could it be believed, that
the man who professed himself to be the advocate of free-
dom, could make such a declaration as that which fell
from the lips of Lord Brougham the other day ?—(Shame.)
The name of Henry Brougham, bad he continued in the
House of Commons, would have been banded down to
posterity as that of a philanthropist and a friend of the
people ; but since he got among that class of persons
called hereditary legislators, who seemed to be born to
wisdom and wickedness at the same time—(Great
cheering)—the epitaph which would be inscribed upon
his tombstone, were he to die to-morrow, would be
such as to call forth the curses of the people of Ireland.
—(No, no ; and Yes, yes.) Mr. Murphy then ad-
verted to the declaration of his Lordship respecting the
suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland. It Lord
Brougham was right in his law, the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland had only to reconcile to his mind a supposition
that the rebellion existed, in order t..) justify him in de-
claring that the Habeas Corpus Act was suspended ; and
he might then not only arrest any person who was rousing
the people of Ireland to a sense of their rights, but actually
send him into banishment.—(Loud cries of "shame.) It
was very strange that, at three distinct periods, at one of
which there certainly was a rebellion, the existing Go-
vernment appeared not to be aware of this power said to
be vested in the Lord Lieutenant, for on each occasion
they applied to Parliament for its suspension—( Hear,
hear,)—and yet Lord Brougham was the man to rake up
this law, and to declare it in his place in the House of
Peers.—(Shame.) Mr. Murphy then read, and com-
mented at considerable length, on Dr. Doyle's evidence on
the subject of Irish Tithes, and concluded by moving the
first Resolution :

" That this Union deeply sympathize with the people of
Ireland in their efforts to throw off the galling and op-
pressive imposts of tithes and church-cess, and expresses
admiration at the energetic, persevering, and peaceful
manner in which those efforts have been made."
Mr. O'BRIEN seconded the resolution.
Mr. LAWLESS addressed the Meeting in a very desultory
speech.
The resolution was then carried.

Mr. CHURCHILL moved, and Dr. WADE seconded,
the next resolution—" That this Union views with indig-
nation and abhorrence the severe measures adopted to sup-
press the expression of public feeling in Ireland, and to
enforce the payment of exactions which are unjust in prin-
ciple, and mischievous in operation ; and expresses its
fervent desire that the moral force of the people may be
found too g►eat to be subdued b 3 their oppressors," which
was carried unanimously.

Mr. CARPENTER moved the third Resolution—" That
this Union strongly deprecates the threat of the suspension
of the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland, without an appeal
to Parliament, recently uttered by the Lord Chancellor of
England, and repeated by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
as a flagrant outrage of the dearest rights of the subject;
and should an attempt be made to carry such a threat into
effect, this Union holds it to be the duty of the people of
England to afford the Irish nation all the aid and assistance
which the law will permit."

Mr. RAINSFO3D and Mr. O'HORGAN supported it, and
it was carried amidst general cheers.

Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting
dispersed.

than liberal. In this way his rewards were numerous

PATIENCE OF GEORGE 111.--Never, per-
haps, was his patience more tried than at a private audi-
ence which he gave to Lord GEORGE GORDON. On
being admitted to the KING'S presence his Lordship very
unceremoniously locked the door, which the lord in wait-
ing had purposely left open. He then said he had an ex-
cellent pamphlet in his pocket, which be would do himself
the honour, and his Majesty the pleasure, of reading.
He accordingly began the pamphlet, and the KING listened
very patiently till it began to grow dark, when he ob•
served, " lam sorry, my Lord, that light fails you, but
some other day." " Please your Majesty," replied Loid
GEORGE, " there is no time like the present, and as for
light, a little of that will suffice for me." He then fami-
liarly poked the fire, the blaze of which enabled him to
continue the pamphlet, which be read to the last word.
The KING expected now to be released, but, to his amaze-
ment, Lord GEORGE said " Please your Majesty, I will
next read to you ten or eleven excellent letters, which I
have received from your Protestant subjects, in which none
seer,', nor ever will be, surpassed." He then commenced
the letters, and this vexatious interview lasted two hours
longer, at the termination of which, the fire having gone
out, or ceased to blaze, Lord GEORGE departed. -- The

Torrents of blood have been shed. The tranquillity
and happiness which the kingdom of Poland bad enjoyed,
in a degree that it bad never before known, were suc-
ceeded by the horrors of civil war and general desolation.
But these misfortunes are now past. The kingdom of
Poland, again restored to our dominion, is now at peace,
and will again breathe under the auspices of a tutelary go-
vernment. But our paternal solicitude for our faithful
subjects imposes upon us the duty of preventing, by all the
means in our power, the return of similar disasters, by
henceforward depriving the evil-disposed of the means
which they have openly employed to disturb the public
peace. It is our will, at the same time, that our subjects
in the kingdom of Poland enjoy all the advantages neces-
sary for their own well-being and for the prosperity of
their country ; that persons and property, liberty of con-
science and municipal franchises _be respected ; that our
said subjects possess a distinct administration adapted to
their wants, in such manner, however, that the kingdom
of Poland shall never cease to be an integral part of our
empire; and that they henceforth form with the Russians
one single nation, one people of brothers. For these rea-
sons we have thought it necessary to settle, by an Organic
Statute issued this day, the future mode of organization
destined for the said kingdom, in conformity with the in-
tentions herein set forth.

Given at St. Prtersburgh the 14th (26th) February, in
the year of our Lord 1832, and the seventh of our reign.

ORGANIC STATUTE.

In our constant solicitude for the welfare of the nations
which Divine Providence has confided to our care, we
have devoted particular attention to the consideration of
the basis on which the future organization of the kingdom
of Poland ought to be established. After having taken
into mature consideration the true interests and situation
of the country, its local wants, the customs of its inhabit.
ants, and the necessity of assuring its welfare and tran-
quillity by a strict and indissoluble union with the empire
of Russia, we have settled, as follows, the fund unental in-
stitutions which we grant to the kingdom of Poland.
