North America, afterwards of River-street, in the city of Bath, then
of Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, in the county of Middlesex, but
late of Boulogne-sur-Mer, in the kingdom of France (who died at a
very advanced age at Boulogne, in the month of December, 1842),
living at her death, or the personal representative or representatives
of any of them who have since died, are by their solicitors, on or
before the 12th day of January, 1845, to come in and prove their kin-
dred, and make out their claims before Sir OIPPINLsoti, one of
the Masters of the said Court, at his Chambers. in Southampton-
buildings, Chancery-lane, London ; or in default thereof, they will
peremptorily be excluded the benefit of the said decree.
The father of the said Mary Philipps was John Philipps, who
carried on the business of a chemist and druggist at Halifax afore-
said, from the years 1765 to 1800, and who died and was buried at
Kensington, in the county of Middlesex, in the year 1801. The
mother of the said Mary Philipps is said to have been " Judith,"
otherwise " Jude," one of the daughters of Dr. Wood, Rector of
Annapolis, in the same province, whose other children are said to_
hare been Mary, the wife of Mr. Day, of Halifax aforesaid, mer-
chant, and Jane, wife of Captain Shaw, of a Highland regiment, in

A. COLLECTION of ORIGINAL WORKS of
FICTION and BIOGRAPHY.

This Series will found to differ in some very important respects
from every other hitherto presented to the public.
I. It will consist exclusively of new and original works, chiefly of
the class of Novels and Romances.
11. The price of each work will be less than one-half the sum
charged for an equal amount of matter in the ordinary system
of publication.
The means by which the saving of cost will be effected will in-
volve no sacrifice of literary or typographical excellence.

:V. The quantity of matter given In each Part will be found to ob-
viate a very general objection made to Serial Works, on the•
ground of a too frequent suspension of the interest.

The Novel will be published in Four Monthly Parts, of the post
octavo form. Each Part will contain One Hundred and Sixty hand-
somely printed pages, and he sold for Three Shillings. Unlees special
exceptions are made, and it Is expedient to issue a enry In v sinsle
volume, it is intended that while every Novel in the Series shall eye-
tain the ordinary amount at present included in Three Volumes, it
shall be completed in Two, and sold for Twelve Shillings.
The Biographies will never exceed Two ?arts, or One Volume.
Tke first Novel will he MOUNT SOREL ; or, the Heiress of the
De Veres. By the Author of the " Two Ohl lien's Tales."

The First l'art will be published on the Ist of Janu try.

work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of coin.
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a losst o knew.
Wemust, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
hut cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffbr-
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."
_Age and Argus.
" The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

THE POLISH BALL COMMITTEE.
A numerous meeting of the Polish Ball Committee
was held on Saturday, to audit the accounts and settle
the tradesmen's bills. Deputy Peacock in the chair.
Mr. CARR, the Honorary Secretary, reported to the
meeting that 1,157 persons had attended the ball and
concert, the amount received for tickets sold being
5831. 145., and in donations 164/. 25., and that the ex-
penses incurred were 392/. 145., leaving a clear ba-
lance of 3551. 2s. to be carried to the fund for the re-
lief of the unfortunate Polish refugees.
Lord DUDLEY STUART expressed the highest grati-
fication at the result, and in the name of the Council
of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland,
presented their thanks to the Chairman, to Mr.
Eagleton, the Treasurer, and to the Committee, in
acknowledgment of the great interest they had taken
in getting up and conducting the entertainment, and
also to Mr. Carr for his unwearied exertions in
the various arrangements and duties devolving
on him as their Honorary Secretary. His Lord-
ship observed, that although the amount of
the proceeds was less than the amount of
those of last year, it was most satisfactory
to witness the demonstrations of delight so univer-
sally exhibited by the visitors in their enjoyment
of the evening's amusements, the magnificence of the
Hall, and the splendour of the company, graced as it
I was by the presence of several of the nobility and
other persons of rank. His Lordship hoped that as
the Hall was so admirably adapted for such purposes,
it would on each succeeding Lord Mayor's day be
made available for some useful charitable institution,
and Ahether it should be granted for the Poles, or
any other charitable undertaking, he (Lord Dudley
Stuart), as well as those acting with him on behalf
of the Poles, wo'u'ld be happy to join in promoting
the success of any object that might be considered
worthy of such support.—(Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN, in the name of the Committee,
thanked the Noble Lord for the kindness and cour-
tesy evinced by him to every
.o_ne-of its members, and
begged to assure his Lordship that they would be
most happy to have the honour of acting with him
upon future occasions.
The Chairman and Committee cordially agreed on
expressing their thanks for the powerful support given
by the press, to which they were deeply indebted for
the success of the undertaking.
The Committee was then dissolved, well pleased
with so gratifying a conclusion to their labours.

Baillie MACK seconded the resolutions.

Mr. LINDSAY said he was sorry he could not agree
with his Lordship in reference to this subject. In
fact, he was against a paper currency entirely ; he
saw no one that was benefited by it but the
bankers. He would suggest that the bankers should
be made to pay to Government so much per cent. for
the use of the notes, and then the public at large
would reap some benefit from them—but at present
he did not see that the public derived any advantage
from them. He thought also that the present agita-
tion was premature. They should wait to see what
measure the Government had in contemplation.
Dean of Guild DICK supported the resolutions of
the Lord Provost.

Mr. RUSSELL confessed that he had only recently
given his attention to this subject, but he must say
that the result of his examination of it had led him to
doubt the efficiency of the Scottish system of banking.
The reasons which had led him to this conclusion are
embodied in the following amendment, which he pro-
posed:—
" Whereas it appears frem authentic document,
that the average circulating medium of exchange
in Scotland has not increased, but diminished,
in the course of the last twenty years, while
the population and productive industry of the
country have been, during the same period,
greatly augmented; it is therefore doubtful whether
the present state of the currency is capable of
extension corresponding to the business wants of
the country. In these circumstances, it is inexpe-
dient for the Council to come to any resolution appro-
hatory of the Scottish system of banking until further
-iniiiiierhe7.iiiititufeetrisrOfe-espeleiallv when itis kept
in view that the currency in England, which con-
sists of gold to nearly one-half of its entire amount,
has gradually increased, and now amounts to fifty -
four-millions, being at the rate of fully 31. for every
man, woman, and child, in the country ; while that of
Scotland, amounting as it does to less than three mil-
lions, averages about 1/. for every inhabitant."
After the speeches from different members for and
against the resolutions, among whom Treasurer
Thomson distinguished himself by his opposition to
some of the resolutions, especially those relating to
the necessity for security being required of the
bankers for the amount issued, the discussion was ad-
journed for a fortnight.

SOUTH-EASTERN (LONDON AND DOVER)
RAILWAY.

We learn that Sir John Kirkland, Mr. W. H. Thomas
(Deputy Chairman of the Chester and Holyhead Rail-
way), and Mr. Robert Browne, of Liverpool, have been
elected Directors of the London and Dover Railway, in
the place of General Hodgson, Mr. Cardwell, M.P., and
Mr. Lewis Cubitt, who have resigned; and that Mr.
Francis Mills has been elected Deputy Chairman of the
Board of Directors in the place of Mr. W. P. Richards,
who has also retired front the Direction.

NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE STANDING
ORDERS BY NEW RAILWAY PROJECTS.
Among other defaulters the Barnsley and Goole Rail-
way did not deposit their plans with the clerk of the
peace at Wakefield, on the 30th ultimo, and have conse-
quently not complied with the standing orders of Parlia-
ment. The Lincolnshire and Sheffield Junction, from

the standing orders. The latter project was under the
guarantee of the Sheffield and Manchester and Midland
Companies. This change in the position of affairs is of
very great importance to the London and York Railway,
as it is now the only line which forms a direct com-
munication north and south from London to York.
placing all the towns between the two cities on a main
line, at the same time that it effects the same importan,
object for the whole tract of country, east and west,
from Liverpool to Boston, which it does, in a continuous
and unbroken chain, by its junction with the Sheffield
and Manchester, Manchester and Leeds, Wakefield, Pon.
tefract, and Goole, and Newark and Sheffield Railways.
In fact it most fully occupies a vast space yet unoccu
pied by any railway ; ar.d places Sheffield on a main
line between Liverpool and Boston, and between Liver-
pool and London, eleven miles shorter than the existing
route. The plans and books of reference of the London
and York line, notwithstanding its extent of 320 miles,
were nearly everywhere the first deposited, and, so far
as their app tr=ance goes, are highly creditable to the
parties engaged upon them.

Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junction.
From this statement it will be seen that the Man-
chester, Barnsley, and Goole, and Sheffield and Lincoln-
shire Junction Railway plans were deposited too late for
an application to Parliament next session, the one being
left at half-past six on Monday, morning ;and the other on
Tuesday at noon. We understand a crowd of surveyors,
some of whom had been waiting from day-break, were
in attendance 6n 'Monday morning to copy the plans.
On the doors being opened the rush was tremendous,
and but for the accommodation provided by the magis-
trates for this special occasion, it would not have ben
possible to accommodate one-fifth of the gentlemen in
attendance. On Tuesday morning the number was
greatly increased, and at least forty persons were en-
gaged in inspecting and copying the plans during the
greater part of the day. IVe have heard several gen-
tlemen express their approbation of the extensive pro-
vision which had been made for their convenience, seven
or eight rooms being appropriated to their use. We are
told that most of the plans were deposited in good time
—namely, before half-past eleven at night, one or two
only having been received between that time and twelve
o'clock.

BATHS AND WASHHOUSES TOR THE LABOURING
aesses.—Wednesday a meeting of the inhabitants of the
parish of St. Pancras took place at the vestry-rooms in
Gordon-square, for the purpose of concerting measures
to establish baths and washhouses in that district of the
metropolis for the accommodation of the labouring
classes. Mr. Harris was in the chair. Mr. Douglas,
who acted as honorary secretary, prooeeded to state
that the meeting had been convened in consequence of
a communication received by the vestry from the parent
institution, calling upon the parish to aid the Society
as much as possible in the establishment of a bath and
wasbhouse for the labouring classes in that populous
locality, and the vestry deeming the principle a good
one, although they bad no power to place the paro-
chial funds to such a purpose, felt it their duty to form
amongst themselves a Committee, and call upon the
parishioners generally to aid in so beneficial an object
for the poor. Mr. T. H. Smith moved a resolution in
support of the object in view, which, after some dis •
cussion, was unanimously agreed to. Mr. James Ho-
warth, one of the churchwardens, was then unani-
mously elected treasurer, and a numerous Committee
were subsequently appointed to carry out the objects of
the meeting. Subscriptions were then entered into, the
Chairman heading the list with 51, and a considerable
sum having been collected, thanks were voted to the
Chairman, and the meeting separated.
Firm—About half-past three on Wednesday morning
a fire broke out upon the premises of Mr. Treeby, buil-
der, Milton-street, New-road. Flames were first 60ell
issuing from the lower part of the building by the con-
stable, who instantly raised an alarm, In a short time
there were in attendance sis engines, under the direction
of Mr. Fogo, and two others. The fire burned most bril-
liantly, the glare being distinctly seen from the bridges.
Abundance of water being at hand, the engines wer., spoil
got to work, but not a vestige of stock or huileling, ex-
cept the walls, could be saved? The occupier is insured
