KEATING'S COD LIVER OIL, just imported.
The Pale from Newfoundland, and the Light Brown
from Norway. The supplies of the present season have never
been surpassed, the fish being unusually fine, and the oil
nearly tasteless. Professors Taylor and Thompson, of Guy's
and St. Thomas's Hospitals, have analysed, and pronounced
the Pale Newfoundland Oil the best and most desirable for
invalids of very delicate constitution. The Light Brown
being more economical in price is brought within the reach of
all classes. No higher price need be paid than the follow-
ing:—Light Brown, Is. Bd. per pint, or 3s. per quart. Pale,
is 6d. half-pints, 2s. 6d. pints, 4s. 6d. quarts, or in five-pint
bottles 10s. 6d. imperial measure, at 79, St. Paul's-churchyard,

NEVER FAILING REMEDY.-
Dr. SCOTT'S BILIOUS and LIVER PILLS, pre-
pared without any mercurial ingredient, from the recipe of Dr.
Scott, of Bromley, Kent, are a sure remedy for affections of the
liver, indigestion, bile, sick headache, giddiness, loss of appe-
tite, lowness of spirits, &c. They can be taken at any time,
without any danger from wet or cold, act mildly on the bowels,
without pain or griping, clear the skin, remove sallowness
and pimples, purify the blood, brace the nerves, and invigo-
'-ate the whole system. Sold by W. Lambert, and most
druggists, in boxes, ts. lid. and 2s. 9d. each. Be sure to
ask for Dr. Scott's Bilious and Liver Pills. The genuine
are a square green package, ith " William Lambert, 20,

Illustrated with exquisite wood engravings by the brothers
Dalziel, from designs by John Gilbert, Harrison Weir, John
Watson, Duncan, Wolfe, and other celebrated artists. An
excellent Likeness of the Author, from a Photograph by
John Watkins, engraved by Frank Holl, forms the frontis-
piece.
" It is a real treat to see a volume so rich in beauty as this

SOCIETY for the RELIEF of DISTRESS.—This
Ki Society derives its origin from the following cause:—
That, notwithstanding the operation of the poor law and
the numerous existing charitable associations, human
beings, although within a stone's throw of the plenty,
luxury, and refinement of this wealthy metropolis, die
miserably of hunger and the want of the common neces-
saries of life.
To prevent as far as possible the recurrence of an evil so
disgraceful to our social system, it is proposed in the first
instance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the
poor, by aiding and increasing the power of existing local
institutions which have this object in view.
To bring to the notice of parochial authorities such cases
as legitimately telong to them alone, to aid the police and
the Mendicity Society, to detect imposture, and to bring to
the care of hospitals, refuges, penitentiaries, and existing
charitable associations those cases for which their several
institutions were established.
Special and urgent cases of distress indicated by the
clergy—ministers of all denominations, medical profession,
or agents of any existing Society, will be relieved as far as
possible by the judicious application of funds entrusted to
district committees and local responsible persons appointed
by them for the purpose.
No cases will be relieved by money or otherwise at the
central office.
The promoters of this movement now come forward, not
in any spirit of opposition to existing societies, but, on the
contrary, with the strong desire to co-operate with and assist
them in the arduous task in which they, with such praise-
worthy zeal and perseverance, have been so many years
laboriously engaged.
They now claim to be met in the spirit in which they
advance, with the sole purpose of furthering, by friendly
intercourse, the great Christian object which all charitable
associations have in view.
The following noblemen and gentlemen having combined
to form a Guarantee Committee, by whom the entire ex-
penses of management are to be defrayed, the Society now
call upon the public to entrust it with tho requisite funds,
which shall be applied, without the smallest deduction, to
the relief of genuine distress.

cruelty to animals for which the capital of Southern
Italy, above all others in the civilised world, is
infamous ; and if his success in his mission be only
commensurate with his exertions, he will indeed
have worked out a revolution for the inferior part
of the creation equal in extent, if not in nominal
glory, to that which Victor Emmanuel and Garibaldi
have already accomplished for human beings.
The people of England have yet to learn the
nature and extent of the barbarity to which animals
are daily and hourly subjected in the fair city of
Naples. In other countries no doubt much cruelty
his victim.
but generally speaking it is the exception—
in Naples it is the rule. When a carpenter drives

anger and revenge at his disappointment in losing
who will take up this question with the energy and
spirit with which he has begun it, may do much
towards correcting the evil ; for he has called the
attention of all classes to a subject which never
before seemed to have made an impression on any
class either native or foreign. Rome was not built
in a day, nor will a people whose cruelty is the
inheritance of ages become humane in a day. The
next generation may be instructed—this must be
coerced as well as instructed. Every well educated
person in Naples congratulates the society to which
this gentleman belongs upon the vigour with which
he prosecutes his mission ; but, fearless as he seems
to be, I must tell him that it is no small joke to
arouse the anger of some two or tbree thousand
Neapolitan eab-drivers upon a dark night, and I
would therefore recommend him, for his own
security, and without a moment's delay, to order a
shirt of mail, with a very high collar buttoned
close round the throat.

The following letter was recently addressed by
the leader of the Taepings to Lord Elgin :-
46 LEE, THE FAITHFUL KING CHUNG WANG AND COM-
MANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE IMPERIAL FORCES OF THE
TAEPING TEEN K(ZIC. DYNz.STY, TO THE BRITISH
PLENIPOTENTIARY AND AMBASSADOR EXTRAORDI-
NARY IN CHINA, GREETING.

"Inasmuch as I have long heard that your hon-
ourable country most particularly reverence the
heavenly system of worship which has been pro-
mulgated for more than 1,860 yeau, therefore I
presume that your honourable country early ob-
tained evidence respecting this wonderful doctrine's
origin, and promulgated ii, in the West. How ex-
ceedingly excellent ! But our true and holy lord Teen
Wang (the Emperor) in the year 1848 was received
up by a heavenly messenger into heaven, and him-
self had an interview with the Heavenly Father
and Heavenly Elder Brother, and thence obtained
a commission to circulate the true doctrine for the
regulation of the whole country. Again from
Kwang-sei he came to Nankin and promulgated
the heavenly system of religion, cut blocks and
printed the Scriptures, and administered the wash-
ing ceremony (washed their breasts with a rag, I
presume, ' Sci Li,' rightly named for this purpose).
Although there is the difference of sooner and
later, first and last, still with your honourable
country we have received the same system of wor-
ship, and have regarded its principles all the same
as yourselves. At present the Middle Kingdom,
Chinese people, have come to know the true doc-
trine ; but when I consider that our people for
thousands of years had not obtained this extraordi-
nary doctrine it is to be regretted. Anciently it
was difficult to realise its excellencies, from want
of the knowledge of its principles. On examina-
tion, I find that from the year 1853, the third year
of our true and holy lord's ascension of the Impe-
rial Throne, the desire to become disciples of the
Lord Jesus prevailed, and all turned to the one
principle. The literati in the presence—the Court
of the Emperor—soon became of this class, and
now it has widely extended and become deeply
impressed in its main ideas, and is observed in its
rites, all of which has been accomplished by the
power of God. Truly it is not in man to have
brought these things to pass!
"I have now prepared for your honourable
country a manifesto and true explanation, so as to
remove the difficulties, that it may not hence be as
the navigating of an intricate sea, or the scaling of
a mountainous rough road. The fish are deep, and
the wild geese distant, their mutual sounds and
inquiries are difficult to comprehend ! [We must
come nearer together to be mutually understood.]
Having increased the army, my press of business
has not permitted me to do as I would wish.

DR. CURTIS' MEDICAL WORK, MANHOOD:
N. MEDICAL ESSAY ON NERVOUS AND GENERA-

A letter which I have just received.from Naples
informs me that the remainder of the English
brigade embarked lost evening on board the Ettore
Fieramosca. The Intendenza would give no money
to pay, but Brigadier Peard made en application to
the Minister of Finance and received the money
at once. The men were all paid on beard by him-
self and staff, assisted by the American Captain de
Rohan and Mr. Arrowsmith, who saved them an
infinity of difficulty. In fact, my friend writes
they would not have got through the work with-
out them.

The Commissioners of Sewers for the City of
London held their usual weekly court yesterday ;
Mr. Deputy Christie, the chairman of the commis-
sion, presided.
SANITARY CONDITION OF THE CITY.
' Dr. LETHEBY, the Medical Officer of Health for
the City of London, reported upon the state of 182
houses that had been inspected during the week,
and he submitted a list of 50 places that required
sanitary improvement. The inspections of markets
and slaughter-houses had been continued as usual,
and the officers had seized 3,741 lb., or more than
a ton and a half, of meat unfit for human consump-
tion. Of this 1,536 lb. were seized in Newgate-
market by Mr. Fisher ; 60 lb. in Leadenhall-market
by Mr. Davidson ; and 2,145 lb. in Aldgate and
Tyler's market by Mr. Newman; 1,761 lbs. were
diseased, and 1,981 lbs. were seized on account of
the animals having died from natural causes,'Nearly
the whole of this was found in two City slaughter
houses; in one there were 18 sheep, weighing 1,440
lbs. ; and in the other a dead cow, weighing 330 lbs.
There was no justifiable reason or excuse for the
possession of such animals. The excessive cold and
dense irritating fogs of the last fortnight have
acted with great severity on the weakly members
of the population. The progress of the death-rate
during the last four weeks has been from 44 to 95
—the average during the last five years being 67.
The chief increase has been in the Eastern Union,
where the weekly proportion has risen from 17 to
41. With one exception only I have never known
so large a weekly return of deaths as that which has
been furnished by the week which has just expired.
The exception was in the severe autumn of 1858,
when in the week ending Nov. 27, there were 102
deaths. In that week, as in the week that has just
elapsed, the mean temperature was greatly below
the average, only just above the freezing point of
water, and the fogs were dense and frequent. In-
deed, the condition of the atmosphere on Thursday
last was remarkably unwholesome, the quantity of
organic vapour, sulphate of ammonia, and finely
divided soot unprecedented. It amounted to nearly
four grains in the, cubic foot of air, and its effect on
the eyes and bronchial membranes was most' irri-
tating. This is evidenced by the enormous amount
of illness and 'mortality 'from acute pulmonary
affections. Pneumonia, for example, has risen in
the course of the last four weeks from only one
death in the week to 11, the successive numbers
being 1,2, 5, 11 ; and bronchitis from 5 to 26.. The
increase of mortality has been chiefly among the
young and the old ; these have contributed 63, to
the 96 deaths. Of the zymotic class of diseases;
' however, measles is the only one that presents 'air
increase. The births in the week amounted to 52,
namely, 24 boys and 28 girls.
A memorial was presented from the owners and
occupiers of property in the neighbourhood of
Newgate-market, praying that certain proeeeding3
directed by the Commissioners of Sewers to be
taken against them, as the owners of structures
that were considered dangerous to the public, might
stand over for the present.
Mr. JAMES COYTE, a solicitor, appeared in sup•
port of the memorial, which stated that the property
at present was in a secure state,and that, pending the
arrangements that were in progress for the format ion
of a market, the result of which might be that the
whole of the property in question would have to be
pulled down, it would be advisable that no altera-
tions should be made, particularly as no inconve-
nience would thereby arise to the public.
After some discussion, upon the motion of Mr.
Deputy FARRAR, it was resolved that the prayer
of the memorialists should be agreed to, and that
no further proceedings be taken in the matter for
six months.

A return was presented which showed that
during the months of October, November, and
December, no fewer than 52,000 fish of different
descriptions had been seized in Billingsgate-market
as unfit for human food.

The court then adjourned, after disposing of the
usual routine business.

DESTITUTION IN THE METROPOLIS.

" During this year, relying on the power of
Heaven, I have succeeded in capturing Soochow
and Hangch ow, and should now be pleased that the
missionaries of every country would come forward,
prepare, and make known the true principles of the
Gospel to my neople, at which I should greatly
rejoice beyond the power of expression, desiring
that those who are of the same doctrine might soon
become of the same heart ; the publication of this
doctrine would then soon become general, and the
right way be made clear ; ere long the whole coun-
try, even to its very borders, would practise Christ's
system of worship, and publish it without limit.
Truly would this be a flourishing, glorious result !
" I have reverently received the Imperial com-
mands to march through every Chow, Foo, and
Hin. I myself wished to have an interview with
the several foreign Commissioners, in order to ex-
plain and obtain instruction that we might mutually
maintain a good understanding ; hut ultimately
without appointment I marched to Shanghai, and
unexpectedly there was a ship of your honourable
country that seemed inclined to repel our approach
to the place! Now our heavenly dynasty reveres
the same heavenly system of worship equally with
your honourable country, and of course we apper-
tain to the same discipleship ; why, then, se hastily
repel us ? Why doubt and fear without knowing
my designs ? Were my inmost thoughts and rea_
sons clearly known, you would perceive that I con-
sider your honourable country as equally benevolent
with ours. If you truly without knowing drove us
away, I am not disposed to quarrel with you about
it; nor have deeply examined into the matter. Be-
cause several of my officers, having gone out three
or four miles, and pitched their tents for a short
time, waved a signal that Kahing was in jeopardy,
I was therefore under the necessity of hastily assem-
bling my troops to march to the rescue. These are
the facts in relation to my former visit to Shanghai.
"Now as to the honourable countries the several
Ministers of which are at Shanghai fostering the
establishment of factories for commerce, I beg to
remark to them, that:as commerce for these several
past years in succession has been going on as it
should, why not pursue the same road as in former
days ? I myself am willing to treat with the seve-
ral Ministers, and according to the constant regu-
lations govern all the laws of the custom-house in
relation to receiving duties, entirely acting upon
the prepared rules, most certainly not increasing
the duties ; because our heavenly dynasty, together
with these honourable countries, revere the same
heavenly system of worship, so that it may be said
that all we under heaven so doing appertain to one
family. Why should not all the brethren of the
four seas throughout the world, east, west, north,
and south, pursue the practice of peace and good-
will towards each other ? Taking all together, I
beseech your honourable countries to exercise libe-
rality of thought towards us.

" It has now been 10 years since our true and holy
lord, Hung-sow-chuen, was elevated to Imperial
power in the year 1851, when he received heaven's
mandate to go around and carefully govern the
beloved people, but to expel the injurious, to quiet
the good, but to make it his business to execute the
evil, retain the upright as heads, or officers, seeking
truly to imitate as lord of the nation the great Iu and
Shun (two ancient famous Emperors). And, more-
over, Christ's system of religion, which has hitherto
only been practised in Western countries, now floua
rishes in our middle country, China, which has had
its commencement from our true and holy lord.
Every foreign Minister near us in our country mast
be able fully to know these things, his own eyes seeing
and his own ears hearing them; hence I trust that he
himself will early prepare a document, and carry the
report to his own honourable country. Although
upon rumination you should think the capital dis-
tant, yet the sails and wind will waft you thither in a
short time. Do not upon beholding the great ocean
turn back.

" Though I have this year repeatedly urged a
correspondence, yet I have not had the good for-
tune to receive a documentary reply, by which my
mind might be delivered from perplexity and sus-
pense.

" I have recently received the command to sub-
jugate the south, north, east, and west, without
reference to the place of location. Although at the
time of receiving the holy instructions I most de-
votedly designed their fulfilment in minutia, yet
in embodying the way of carrying them out I did
not purpose greatly producing disorder and destruc-
tion, bringing shame and remorse on myself.
" At present the American missionary, Lo How-
chuen-sing-sang, with whom our true and holy
lord, Hung-sow-chuen, was formetly acquainted in

Large bodies of strong and hardy labouring men
paraded the various parts of the metropolis yester-
day, giving utterance to their doleful complaints
of being " frozen out," and unable to get work by
means of which to feed themselves and families,
and there can be no question that with few, if
any, exceptions there is too much truth in their
statements. The extreme severity of the weather,
and the comparative length of time during which
it has already lasted, has put a stop for the most
part to the works connected with the main-drainage
scheme, the under-ground railway, and other great
undertakings in the metropolis, and the unfortunate
men engaged upon them are thrown upon charity
for their present means of subsistence.
A public meeting, convened by the churchwardens
of Christchurch, Blackfriars, was held in the vestry-
room of the parish church. The meeting was held
for the purpose of adopting measures to meet the
pressing and urgent wants of the labouring classes
and the poor generally, caused by the stoppage of
employment through the severity of the weather.
Numerous influential parishioners were present,
and the Rev. Joseph Brown, M.A., the rector, took
the chair. He called the attention of the meeting
to the state of the labouring classes, and from many
letters of application ho had received, he found that
the distress had reached a class above the poorer
classes. They all knew that there was always a
certain class who were willing to accept relief, but
the distress had now reached those who sought to
maintain themselves by their industry and labour.
Mr. Richard Downs, one of the churchwardens,
announced a list of contributions, amounting to
upwards of £6O. Several gentlemen expressed a
hope that care would be taken as to the distribution
of the funds, and recommended that blankets and
other articles of use should be issued on loan. A
committee was then formed to canvass the parish
throughout for subscriptions, and several additional
amounts having been handed in, Mr. Frederick
James Blake, jun., was requested to act as honorary
secretary.
Meetings with similar results were also held in
other parts of London.
About 400 persons, male and female, attended at
the Marylebone workhouse for the purpose of ob-
taining relief. The guardians have given directions
to Mr. Tubbs, the assistant overseer, to afford relief
to the applicants who were in destitute circum-
stances, confining himself as far as possible to those
who are residents in, and who are chargeable to, the
parish. In compliance with this order on Saturday
as many as 4,0001b5. of bread, &c., were distributed.
At the Guildhall Police Court Alderman Mechi
said he had very great pleasure in announcing that
in consequence of the very seasonable gift by Mr.
Swainston, of the Three Bucks, Old Jewry and
Gresham-street, of 100 soup tickets, and the pub-
licity given to the donor's suggestion, other bene-
volent persons had come forward with similar
assistance, and among them he must not omit to
mention the very liberal contribution of Mr. Stubbs,
the proprietor of the Trade Protection establish-
ment at the corner of King-street and Gresham-
street, who had provided for distribution among
the starving poor of his own and the adjoining
wards 1,000 quarts of good strong soup and 1,000
_
loaves of bread. Mr. Swainston, he nnderstoo..d.
was also prepared to give 100 loaves of bread with

and distribute it among
judgment. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the gates
of the station-house yard were thrown open, and a
tremendous rush took place. Great eagerness was
manifested to obtain a sixpence or a shilling, and
it required the utmost efforts of Inspectors Griffin
and Hayes, of the K division, and a force of twenty-
five constables acting under their orders, to prevent
accidents. The clothes of many were torn, and
others received bodily injuries, but not of a serious
nature. The inspectors, sergeants, and constables
had a very arduous duty to perform, and they acted
with great forbearance and good humour, admitting
the poor creatures into the passage of the court ten
or twelve at a time. They were speedily disposed
of by Mr. Livingston, who was assisted by Denny,
Kent, and Taplin, officers of the court, and by Mr.
Preece, a coal meter, and an influential member of
the vestry of Mile-end Old•town, who is well
acquainted with the working classes of the port of
London and the district generally. A few words
of inquiry only were addressed to each individual,
but imposition was almost impossible. Mr. Living-
ston paid 300 1.& each, 100 Gd. each, and about 200
more 2s. and 2s. Gd. each. There were upwards of
100 poor women craving relief in attendance, and
they were directed to attend this day with letters
of recommendation from persons known to the
magistrate, and their cases would be attended to.
The subscriptions forwarded to Mr. Yardley for the
poor-box fund yesterday were unusually large.

COVENTRY DISTRESS.—The amount raised in Bir-
mingham for the relief of the distressed at Coventry now
amounts to nearly £3,000, in addition to which, Mr. John
Walsh Walsh, one of the promoters of the fund, ha! col
lected and transmitted to Coventry a largq qua,utltY 01
