1) URLY HAIR.—It is not generally known that
the human hair contains a minute portion of a peculiar salt
tiuleh has an affinity for the fluids of the atmosphere : the alosorp-
ef Moisture immeliately causes the hair, however well curled,
speedily to become straight. When, however, the hair contains a
,llPply f its natural unguent, the power of the saline particle
sorb moiosture is neuralised, and the hair maintain its emits.s

S HAIR LUBRICANT is the only rational preparation for
juPPIYIng nature's deficiency: the hair dressed with it will preserve
during exercise
curliness for any length of time, either in the ball-room
by rlig exercise in damp weather; it also renders the hair, aided

PUBLICATIONS.

THE KING OF DELHI.
In our report of-the proceedings at the last Court of
the East India House, only a summary of the debate
with respect to the Royal Family of Delhi appeared in
this paper; but as the subject is an important one,
`we give below a full report of the speech of Mr. Sul-
livan, the proprietor who brought the question before
the attention of the Court.
Mr. S ULLITAN rose to move for the production
of all the correspondence that had taken place
between the Marquis of Wellesley and the Emperor
of Delhi, and between the Government of India and
the- Court of Directors, during the years 1803,
1804, and 1805, in relation to the recognition
of the rights of the Emperor of Delhi, as
the Great Mogul of Ilindoostan. He said
his attention had been attracted lately to several
extracts from the Indian newspapers on the subject of
A meditated aggression on the rights of the King of
Delhi. Among others was the following, which re-
vealed some curious particulars of the relations between
the King of that city and the British Government
." It is asserted by the native papers, and we
believe on the whole with correctness, that the
King having applied to Government for a sum
sufficient to relieve him of his debts, and
for the increase of stipend, sanctioned by the
home authorities, has been told in reply by the
Lieutenant-Governor, N. W. P., that such increase
shall he paid him, and his debts discharged (they are
said to be tour and a half laes) on conditions of which
the following are some :---That the King and all the
members of the Royal Family shall give up for ever
all right and title in the lands, villages, houses, &e.,
he and they may respectively possess in and
about Delhi, including --the .a-Criandoey Choke
Gardeti very hotbed of malaria in the town), Kote
Kassitn, and other places. That the pensions of indi-
viduala, members of the family, shall cease on their
demie. That a specified number of the present inha-
bitants of the palace (including all collateral branches,
not the immediate descendants of Shah Alum), shall
quit its precincts, and reside elsewhere. That the King
shall send in quarterly to the agent a return of the
deaths that may have occurred among the pensioners.
'That a school shall be established in the palace at the
expense of the King, for the benefit of the children.
That the palace shall be repaired under the superin-
tendence of the agent, at the expense of the King.
That. the pensions of all members of the family shall
be disbursed by the agent or his assistant ; and lastly,
that the King shall defray the expenses of the palace
guard. His Majesty is understood to have declined
compliance with those very reasonable terms."
Now I have heard, from what I consider undoubted
authority, that the Governor-General has actually
announced not only his intention of doing all me-
ditated in this dispatch, but also his determination
to deal with the property and rights of the Royal
Family of Delhi in much the same way in which, and
he was sorry to say with the sanction of that Court,
they had recently dealt with the rights of the Royal
Family of Sattara ; and he therefore thought it his duty
to take the earliest opportunity of raising up his hand
against what he conceived to be a second violation of
the sacred rights of the native priness of India, and
that without the least pretence at justification. That
this would be a violation of a sacred right he felt
persuaded would be proved by the production of the
papers for which he intended to move, and
he should show that all those papers ought
to be laid before the Court. lie would now give a
rapid sketch of the relations between the Emperor of
Delhi and the British power in India, and for this
purpose •he should refer to Lord Wellesley's dis-
patches, which had already been before the public,
and to other sources of information of an equally in-
disputable character. In 1803 the Emperor of Delhi,
Shah Alum, placid himself under the protection of
Lord Wellesley, and that Noble Lord, as the repre-
sentative of the British Government, entered
into certain obligations with the then Mogul.
What was the nature of those obligations ? It was
to that point he desired the attention of the Court.
First, let him show them Lord Wellesley's opinion of
the Mogul as a political character. In writing to the
Secret Committee, on the 13th of July, 1804, his
Lordship said—

" Notwithstanding his Majesty's total deprivation
of real power, dominion, and authority, almost
every state and every class of people in India
continue to acknowledge his nominal sovereignty
The current coin of every established state is struck
in the name of Shah Alum. Princes and persons of
the highest rank and family still bear the titles and
display the insignia of rank which they or their
ancestors derived from the throne of Delhi, under
the ackoowledged authority of Shah Alum, and his
Majesty is still considered to be the only legitimate
fountain of similar honours. The pride of the
numerous class of Mussulmans in India
is gratified by a recognition of the nomi-
nal authority of the illustrious representa-
tive of the House of Timour over territories
which once constituted the extensive and
powerful empire of the Mogul, and the Mussulmans
are still disposed to acknowledge the legitimacy of
to in
the
at iteen e e

pretensions or demands ostensibly proceeding from
the authority of the imperial mandate. Under these
circumstances, the person and authority of his Ma
jesty Shah Alum might form a dangerous instru-
ment in the hands of any state possessing
sufficient power, energy, and judgment to
employ it, in prosecuting views of aggrandizement
and ambition. The Mogul has never been an im-
portant or dangerous instrument in the hands of the
Mahrattas, but the augmentation of M. Perron's

of the war, and an indispensable condition of the peace."
There they had Lord IVelleeley disclosing that such
was the importance of the Mogul's political character,
that on no account would he make peace with the
Mahrattas.. Again, Lord Wellesley, in writing to
Lord Lake, evinces his extreme anxiety to have this
important political character in his own hands. Lord
Wellesley says, in
writing to Lord Lake—" The
point of most urgent
destruction of M. Perron's force is, in my opinion,
importance
the security of the person of the Mogul and of the
heir apparent, and it is therefore my earnest wish that
early measures should be tak:en' for the purpose."
And then, under the date of the 27th July, 1803,
they bad Lord Wellesley's urgent invitation to Shah
Alum to place himself under British protection, and
his Lordship's promise if he did so. Should your
Majesty (says Lord Wellesley) be disposed to accept
this offer, you may be assured that every demonstration
of respect and every degree of attention which can con-
tribute to the ease and comfort of your Majesty and
the Royal Family will be manifested on the part of the
British Government and that adequate provision will
be made for the support of your Majesty, and of your
family and household." Then let him (Mr. Sullivan)
call the attention of the Court to the instructions
given by Lord Wellesley as to. the manner in which
his Majesty Shah Alum was to be received. " When
that event shall have taken place (says his Lordship,
writing to his representative,) it is my anxious desire
that his Majesty and the Royal Family should imme-
diately experience the benefit of the change, receiving
from your Excellency and from all persons acting under
your authority every demonstration of reverence, re-
spect, and attention. Then let the Court observe how
the instructions were observed by the representative of
the Governor- General. Writing to his Royal Highness
the Duke of York, Lord Lake says, " In testimony,
of the sentiments his Majesty entertained on this oc-
casion he *conferred on me a title, the second in the
empire in rank and importance, and would have con-
ferred the first, had it not been previously bestowed
on Dowlut Rao Sindiah. On my part I paid every
deference, respect, and honour to the royal dignity,
and encouraged every hope of future comfort and
independence from the generous conduct and acknow-
ledged liberality of the British Government." Now
he (Mr. Sullivan) would point out to the Court Lord
Wellesley's distinct recognition of Shah Alum as
Emperor of Hindostan, with all the hereditary rights,
prerogatives, and privileges which belonged to that
, i
high office. On the 16th November, 1804, Lord
Wellesleyis notwrote

his Majesty all the forms of respect considered to be
due to the Emperor of Hindostan, and upon all occa-
sions to employ his utmost efforts to promote the
ease and comfort of his Majesty and of the Royal
Family." Now, the next point to which he wished to
draw the attention of the Court was a letter from
Shah Alum, in which he reminded Lord Wellesley of
the obligation which he had voluntarily come under,
to provide an adequate support for himself and his
family. Writing to Lord Wellesley, under the date
of theOth October, 1833, the Emperor said—" Be this

STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—
The market is not so active as it was a few days ago, but
high rates are still demanded for yarns and goods.
Stocks were seldom so low before; indeed many pro-
ducers of both cloths and yarns are engaged for some
period. The future is looked to with most lively antici-
pations of prosperity; and, our present prospects conti-
nued, 1850 promises to be one of the most remarkable
commercial veers on record. From advices from New
York we learn that cotton, as was expected, continued
rather to decline, but upon the whole the estimates of
the crop are more unfavourable, 2,200,000 being set
down more generally as outside figures. The total ex-
port to Great Britain was 158,000 bales, against 298,000
bales last season, and the total receipts at the ports
649,000, against 680,000 bales last year.
IMPORTATION Or TOBACCO FROM THE BRITISH
WEST INDIA ISLANDS.—The Lords Commissioners of
her Majesty's Treasury having had under their conside-
ration a memorial from an eminent firm, praying that
some bales of tobacco, which have been imported in the
vessel Duly Bailey, the produce of Jamaica, and have
been detained by the officers of the revenue for being
under the weight allowed to be admitted to enter, and
that similar importations may be permitted in bales of
801bs. weight each, as in the case of tobacco imported
from Cuba, St. Domingo, or Trinidad, a communication
has been made to the Customs, authorising them to
admit to entry the bales of tobacco imnorted in the
vessel mentioned; and their Lordships are also of opinion
that similar privileges should be conceded to importa-
tions of the same character from any other of the British
possessions in America.
JEWISH BALL.—Last night a ball was held in
Willis's Rooms, in aid of the funds for the support of
the Western Jewish Free Schools. Of course it was
well attended, for the Hebrew community are ever for-
ward in all that has a charitable object, and especially
where the interests and w6lfarn of the poor of their
own people are concerned. Dancing was kept up with
great spirit by the company assembled, nor could it well
he otherwise with the usual committee of management,
assisted by the Ladies' Committee of the Girls' School,
and with M. Jullien's famous quadrille band in at-
tendance.
A violent storm has raged for several days on the
coast near Calais, but a letter from that place, of the

their solemn engagements with him.—(Hear, hear.)
Now, let the Court listen to the acknowledgments
made by the Governor and Council of Bengal to the
Secret Committee of the benefits they received from
the Emperor. " His Majesty (said they) has been
pleased to bestow on the Company the most important
grants ever yet obtained by any European state from
the Mogul Court. Besides confirming to the
Company all their former possessions, and securing to
them in perpetuity of Lord Clive's Jagheer, he has
conferred on them the Dawaney of Bengal, Baboe,
and Orissa, and ratified in the strongest terms an
agreement we prepared, concluding with the Nabob,
if the King's consent could be procured." Now it
was the grandfather of the present man who made
the Company all these splendid gifts. Were they
quite sure, although he had no longer the power he
once had, that he was really so insignifkant that
they could trifle with his rights ? Now the way in
which the natives clung to every relic of their ancient
greatness was almost incredible. Ile found an
extraordinary instance of that related by Colonel
Todd. "I overheard (says Colonel Todd) the
following dialogue between two of my native sepoys.
The sovereignty is ours,' said one, which was
stoutly denied by his antagonist, who called the
other 'an usurper of his rights.' On inquiry I found
the disputants were a Cholan and Juar Rajpoot, who
were thus contesting the claims of their respective
tribes to paramount power in India, which had bees
settled seven centuries before." Now, whether than
was true or not, there was one thing patent to every
body, which was, that every Mussulman in India
clung with the greatest tenacity to every ♦estige of
their fallen greatness; and the British Government
could not wipe out those vestiges without inflicting
a deep injury on the feelings of the whole Mus-
sulman population,'including some seventy thousand
of the Company's native fiefs. Now, whether
the Court of Directors were in a condition to run
such a risk as that he would leave it to them to say.
What was it, he would ask, that induced the con-
querors and usurpers of Mysore and Sattara, among
other places, to uphold the ancient dynasties, but the
knowledge they possessed of the tenacity with which
the Mussulman chiefs clung to those vestiges of
power ? %\That else was it that induced Lord Wel-
lesley to make this arrangement for the Mogul ?
What else was it that induced Lord Hastings to re-
store, the Raja of Sattara but the consideration that
in doing so he was consulting the feelings of the
native population ? He (Mr. Sullivan) would put
this serious question to the Court of Directors—Who
was the present Governor-General, and who were

great victory and splendid success happy and
prosperous to us and to all the servants
of our illustrious Court, especially to your
Lordship. As the designs of our faithful
servants have happily succeeded, the time has arrived
for your Lordship, in conformity to the distinct and
obligatory engagement described to us by your Lord-
ship in the letter which you lately transmitted, to se-
cure to yourself happiness, temporal and eternal, and
permanent reputation, by fulfilling that engagement,
and by carrying into effect that which may provide
for the interests and welfare of the servants of the
Imperial Court (meaning his Majesty and family),
and for the happiness of the people of God, through
the aid and services of the officers of the Company's
Government." Now let him (Mr. Sullivan) show
the Court the nature of the arrangement which Lord
Wellesley contemplated. In writing to the Em-
peror on the Bth October, 1803, his Lord-
ship said, "My attention is now directed with
great solicitude to the formation of a permanent
arrangement calculated to provide durable security
for the happiness, dignity, and tranquillity of your
Majesty and Royal Family, conformable to the inti-
mation contained in my former address to your
Majesty. I trust that the testimony of my early
attention to your Majesty's service may be acceptable
to your Majesty, until his Excellency, General
Lake, under my orders, can be enabled to offer to
your Majesty's consideration the plan of a permanent
settlement of your affairs, secured by the power of
the British Government." Again, two years- after-
wards, namely on the 23d of May, 1805, Mr. Secre-
tary Edmonstone, in addressing the Resident at
Delhi, communicated for his information and guid-
ance, "the final deterMination of his Excellency in I
Council on the important question of the establish-
ment of a permanent arrangement for the support
of his Majesty Shah Alum and of the Royal Family
at Delhi." Mr. Secretary Edmonstone's communi-
cation went on to say—" That in consequence of the
Emperor having at his instigation placed himself
under the protection of the British Government, his
titles, dignities, rights, and prerogatives should be
preserved to him, and that a permanent provision
should be made for his family of not less than thirty
lacs of rupees per annum, exclusive of the jagheers of
his family." That permanent arrangement was an-
nounced in the same letter to be " the assignment
to his Majesty of all that portion of the territory on
the right bank of the Jumna, ceded to the Company
under the treaty of Serjie Anjengaum. The revenue
will be collected and justice administered in the name
of hia Majesty, who is requested to appoint a dewan
and other officers, for the purpose of ascertaining
and reporting to his Majesty the amount
of revenue received: and to see that no
part of such revenue be misappropriated."
At the same time it was ordered that no capital sen-
tence should be carried into execution without the
previous sanction of his Majesty. In conformity
with these instructions, an agreement was delivered
by Sir D. Ochterloney, to the King, on the 23d of
June, 1805, the first article of which ran thus :
" All the Mehals to the west of the Jumna, situate
between the west and north of Mowza Kabilpoor,
shall be considered the crown lands of his Majesty ;"
and the arrangement for the Mogul was not to be
of temporary importance. In 1804, the preceding
year, Lord Wellesley had sent instructions to the
Resident at Delhi for the instant recognition of the
heir apparent as the sovereign, in the event of the
King's death; and in writing to the Secret Committee
o the Court of Directors, in July, 1804, his Lordship
said he considered the arrangement he had made for
placing the Mogul under the protection of
the British Government to be a subject of
national and political importance. Now, there
the Court of Directors had Lord Wellesley's
distinct enunciation of his intention to make a
permanent arrangement for the support of the
Emperor of Delhi and the Royal Family, a perma-
nent, not only es contradistinguished from a tempo-
rary provision, which had been made for his support
se hen he first placed himself under the protection of the
British Government, but in point of duration. A
territory was ceded to him, the revenues of which were
to be administered in his name; his son was recog-
nised as the heir to that territory, and his grandson,
now on the throne, subsequently received the same
recognition. It was in Lord Wellesley's opinion an
object of national importance that the titular Emperor
of Delhi should be known to all the inhabitants of
Hindostan as living under the protection of the
British Government until he died. How could the
restoration of an old man, then 84 years of age, and
whose death was daily anticipated, be a question of
political and national importance ? That could not
be ; but the perpetuity of the title and honours
of Emperor of Hindostan in the family of
Shah Alum, under the protection of the
British Government, was, in the eye of Lord
Wellesley, an object of great national importance,
and it was for the accomplishment of that object that
Lord Wellesley made a permanent provision for the
support of the imperial dignity. It was Lord
Wellesley who made those promises to the Mogul.
The language of Lord Wellesley to the royal house
had been religiously observed. But had not Lord
Wellesley's successors frequently violated the pecu-
niary part of those obligations on the plea that there
was no specific contract in the case, and that it was a
mere intimation of an intention of doing cer-
tain things for the Mogul, but no formal deed.
Now certainly there was no formal deed ;
that was impossible. Equals treated with
equals, princes with princes, serfs with serfs,
but subjects did not treat with princes. The
Court of Directors had acknowledged in former times
the Mogul as their sovereign, and they did so when
he placed himself under their protection. Now, when
it was contended there was no specific contract, it
was quite obvious that the instructions which Lord
Wellesley addressed to the Resident at Delhi, under
the date of the 231 May, 1805, were entirely over-
looked. His Excellency in Council, in that docu-
ment had been pleased to say, " The territory to be
assigned to his Majesty is to comprise all that portion
of the territory on the right bank of the Jumna,
ceded to the Honourable Company under the treaty
of Serjie Anjengaum, which is situated to the north-
west of a town or village named Kahoolpoor in the
map of the ceded and conquered provinces constructed
by Lieutenant Colebrooke." And so his Lordship
went on in express terms to assign that territory to the
Emperor of Delhi and his family. Well, now, he
(Mr. Sullivan) would leave the Court of Directors
to juee whether it was possible to be a more distinct
obligatlten to assign those Crown lands to the Empe-
ror of Delhi? All those obligations were fulfilled
by Lord Wellesley; but the pecuniary part of them
had been violated by his successors, whilst those
which had reference to prerogatives and privileges
had, by the Marquis of Cornwallis, Lord
Amherst, Lord Hastings, and others, been
respected. Those were so highly valued by the Mogul
that he had refused Lord Hastings to be seated in his
presence. In the time of Lord William Bentinck his
Lordship administered a rebuke to the President at
Delhi, who proposed to discontinue the presentation
of Nuzzurs to the Mogul. " His Lordship in Coun-
cil (wrote Lord William Bentinck) strongly disap-
proves of the proposition submitted, as it would tend
to create alarm in the mind of his Majesty, and at
the same time throws down a long established custom
without any reasonable grounds whatever." Then
came a Governor- General of another mind who was
less tenacious of the national usages. Now that was
the story that the papers for which he (Mr. Sullivan)
moved would tell, but that was the least important
part of the story. Those papers would leave the
Court of Directors under the mischievous impression
that the Mogul was, to use a favourite expression of
their own, a creature of their bounty, that he received
everything from them and they nothing from him ;
whereas the page of history would tell them that that
was the result of their connexicn with the family,
which had begun 50 or 60 years ago, and which had
continued for 20 years almost without interruption;
and during all that time the Court of Directors had
received almost inestimable benefits. The nego-
tiation of 1803 was but a renewal of the connexion,
and did not date its origin from that time. In the
year 1764 the Mogul granted the valuable Zeman-
dary of Benares to the British Government, and in
1765 he granted Dewaney ; after that the Northern
Circars, Burdware, and confirmed all the Company's
possessions in Bengal and the Carnatic. Now, at
what time was it that the Mogul made all those con-
cessions ? It was when England was first emerging
from a desperate struggle with France for ascen-
dancy, and when it was considered that the Mogul
might be made a great means of offence in the hands
of France. The Mogul granted an empire to the East
India Company in 1765 ; and, in return for those
benefits, the Company, in 1805, settled a pittance
upon the Emperor, which they had since diminished,
little by little, till now it was proposed to an-
nihilate it altogether. New it would be said, and
said with truth, that the Mogul was no longer
of that political importance that he was in those days.
But tempera mutantur, and he (Mr. Sullivan)might add, et nos mutamur in illis. So long as the,
make Company a

the
per-
manent provision for himself and his family. They
had allowed his grandson to receive all; and now
because the Mogul had fallen into a state of corn-
r
corn-
parative insignificance, they were about to break

his present advisers, that they should thus
wantonly pull to pieces the fabric that was so
carefully put together by their predecessors ? He
would ask whether the Court of Directors would give
their sanction to a proceeding of that kind ? It was
a serious, but it was a very pertinent question.
Where, he would ask them, did they find a precedent
in the whole history of the civilized world for any
such proceedings as those ? What did they see the
other day, when Russia and Austria united together
in an attempt to exercise despotic power ? They saw
that the whole commonwealth of Europe rose as one
voice against it. And what did those despotic
powers do ? Why, they shrunk from their pur-
pose. When the East India Company were
totally unable to take a single rupee of the
property of one of the meanest subjects under
their dominion, could they strip the native princes
of India of their possessions without so much
as a hearing ?—(Hear, hear.) Why should not all
the native princes hAve an impartial tribunal in the
Court of Directors, before whom they could bring
their wrongs to be redressed? He would say there
was a tribunal which, by infusing into it a little Indian
blood, could be made available for the redress of those
wrongs. Let the Court of Directors assimilate them-
..

selves to a tribunal like that of the Judicial Com

mittee of the Privy Council. He (Mr. Sul-
livan) did sincerely hope that those members
of this Court who held up their hands against
the spoliation of Sattara would hold up their
hands against a Eitnilar spoliation in this case.
He did sincerely hope that the Court of Directors
would adhere to all their solemn engagements with
the Mogul, and that they would preserve to his suc-
cessors all his rights and prerogatives, such as were
concedc.d to him by the former Governors of India.—

(Applause.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by
moving that copies of all correspondence arising out
of the engagements which were contracted by the
Government of India with Shah Alum, the Emperor
of Hindosten, in the years 1803-4, and 5, be laid be-
fore the Court.

Lieutenant-General BRIGGS seconded the motion,
and expressed his regret that the Government of India
should make these repeated attempts to infringe upon
solemn treaties one after another. Their strength in
India depended upon public opinion. They had only
about 740 European civil servant`, administering the
whole affairs of the social government of that coun-
try, while the population consisted of 150 millions.

Of those 740 persons, about one-third only were
invested with power; so that each individual had to

administer civil justice among no less than 600,000
inhabitants. He hoped the Court would do all they
could to resist the strong anti-Indian spirit which
at present threatened to drive them out of the country.
Mr. LEWIN suggested that the natives in India
should be represented in Parliament.
The CHAIRMAN—The question which has been
raised by the Hon. Mover of this resolution, I have to
inform the Court, is under consideration by the
Government of India, and the authorities in this

country. The Court of Directors attach great im-
portance to the subject, and the Proprietors may feel
assured that they will give it their serious attention.
Under these circumstances, I hope the Court will not

insist upon the production of any papers of this
description, and I feel myself under the necessity of
negativing the motion.
After a short conversation the motion was put, and
the Court divided, when there appeared—

For the motion
Against it
Majority
The motion was consequently lost.
The Court then adjourned.

FATAL VISIT TO THE ICE.
,TWO BROTHERS DROWNED.

An accident on the ice occurred near Cirencester
on Saturday, by which two of the sons of Mr.
Thomis Bowly, draper, lost their lives. On the sheet
of water in the park belonging to Earl Bathurst, the
younger portion of the inhabitants of the town are in
the habit of skating and sliding, after sufficient fr( at
to make the ice bear. On Saturday last there had
been two, days' severe frost, and it was thought that
the ice was of sufficient consistency to bear the
weight of skaters. Accordingly, many people re-
sorted thither to recreate themselves. All went on
well till about four o'clock in the afternoon, when
Daniel Bowly, aged about twelve years, was passing
the middle of the pond, where the ice, it is presumed
from the high wind, had not been so frozen as else-
where, as it broke, and the youth sank into the water.
An elder brother, named Thomas, aged 14, who had a
few days previously returned home from school at
Weston, near Bath, seeing his brother fall into the
water, courageously rushed in after him, and in a
fruitless effort to save his brother he also sunk. r, r-
ceiving his danger, he endeavoured to catch at the
edge of the ice nearest him, but it broke in his grasp.
A ladder and some ropes were speedily procured, but
the spar of the ladder to which the rope was fastened
broke, and after several ineffectual efforts to seize the
rope, which he could not hold, it is conjectured, from
the benumbed state of his hands, the poor youth
uttered a cry of agony and sunk to a watery grave.
It is supposed that the cry was occasioned by the
seizure of cramp. Drags were speedily procured,
but some time elapsed before the bodies could be
secured. In the meantime Messrs. Thomas Warner
and Cripps, surgeons, had arrived, and had caused the
necessary appliances—hot water and a fire—to be
provided at the nearest house, that of Mr. Bolton, at
the Lodge gates. In about three-quarters of an hour
the bodies were recovered, and immediately taken to
the house above named, where they were rubbed, and
every means which human art could suggest was
family.
Mr. the
used, but all was of no avail. A fly was then ob-
tained, and the bodies were taken to the residence of
the grandfather, Mr. Richard Bowly, draper: in the
l eye t feed l t

The inhabitants of the town expressed deep and heart-

at the time in London, but was expected to return
nhf a grieflignehclyes-sraersip
that night. We hear that the eldest brother, Richard,
who bad also returned from school for the Christmas
holidays, was kept back by force, or he would have
rushed into the water, in an attempt to save his
brothers, and probably have shared their fate.

LITERAILT PENSIONS.—As some misapprehension
appears to exist on the subject, we are enabled to state
that no pension will revert to the Government through
the death of Mr. Tytter, the historian. By the last
arraegement of the Civil List the Government has no
power to exceed the annual sum set apart for pensions,
on account of the demise of any of the recipients on the
list.

THE BRAZILS.
LIVERPOOL, THIIRSDA T.-By the Serapbina,
Captain Goole, we have dates from Pernambuco to
the lEt ult. The Government had assembled about
2,000 troops, with the intention of surrounding the
remnant of the rebel army that bad taken refuge at
a place called Agoa Preta. It was confidently an-
ticipated that this decisive measure would entirely
restore the province to a state of quietude. The
commercial intelligence states that the new sugar
continued to command high prices, and on some
qualities a considerable advance had been established.
The latest quotations are 245. 4d. to 255. 3d. for
first quality whites ; 225. sd. to 235. 10d. for seconds
and thirds; and 14s. sd. to 15s. 10d., for musco-
vadoes, per cwt. free on board. There were unlimited
orders unexecuted, and no reduction in prices
was expected to take piece before the arrival
of the November packets from England. The
first cargo of muscovadoes left on November 30,
per Mary Hounsell, for the Channel. The receipts
of cotton had been small, and the few bags brought to
the markets found eager buyers at 5 9-16 d. to 513-16 d.
per pound. Hides, dry and salted, were in slow request,
at 90 rein per pound. In freights little doing. Cotton
to Liverpool was taken at F. and 5 per cent. per
pound. To the Mediterranean the rates were 458.
to 50s. and 5 per cent. per ton for sugar. Exchange,
owing to the dull accounts from Rio and Bahia, had
declined to 25d. There was more money than bills
on the market.

Our advices from Rio de Janeiro are to the 15th of
November. Extensive s3les had been effected in
coffee at 4,600 reis for good firsts per arroba, and
5,000 for superiors. Little doing in freights, Ex.
change, 27id
At Bahia on the 23d of November exchange was
flat at 27d. Sugars are selling at 1,500 to 1,600
reis per arroba for browns, and 1,900 to 2,000 reis
for whites in cases. Freights to the Channel, 426. 6d.
and 5 per cent per ton; to Liverpool, id. and 5 per
cent. per pound.

IRELAND.
RESIGNATION OF MR. O'CONNELL.
DUBLIN, JAN. 3.—The rumour which prevailed for
some days past of Mr. John O'Connell's intention to
resign his seat for Limerick, received but litte atten-
tion, and the appearance of his address in a Limerick
paper, received in town yesterday, created no slight
degree of surprise. Mr O'Connell thus explains to
his constituents the circumstances which urge his
resignation :

Fellow•Countrymen,—An imperative necessity, con-
tended with for a long time in ♦ain, compels
me to invite you to resume the high trust you
honoured me with in 1847, and to commit the
impudent care of your representation to other hands.
Circumstances, not of my own creating, have en
limited my means as to necessitate the resumption and
pursuit of my profession, abandoned twelve years ago
at my father's desire; and the attention requisite for
this ,purpose must incapacitate me from giving even oc-
casional attendances in Parliament. I (eel that it would
be flagrant ingratitude, as well as gross injustice, were
I to retain my high position as one of your representa-
tives when unable any longer to discharge, even occa-
sionally, its duties in Parliament. I, therefore, shall
divest myself of the high honour you so generously
con,erred upon me in 1847, at the first intimation of
your being ready and willing to proceed to a new
election."
Already there are some candidates in the field, and
several others are mentioned as likely to contest the
honour of representing the city of the violated treaty ;
but no one has yet come forward who deems to have
any special claim to the support of the Liberal party.
Colonel Vereker, son of the late Lord Gort, has
already published his adlreso, his principles being
Protectionist. Captain Gough, son of the gallant
Indian commander, was also spoken of as likely to
start on the Protectionist side, but it is not probable
that he will come forward. Mr. Francis William
Russell, one of the eminent firm of J. N. Russell and
Sons, of Limerick, is in the field on free-trade princi-
ples, and is most likely to succeed in a contest. The
canvas for him has been commenced. The Limerick
Reporter also mentions Mr. George John O'Connell
as a Repeal candidate; but from the following para-
graph, which that paper gives as the latest intelligence
on this subject, it would seem that some effort will
still be made to retain the present Member his place :
" A meeting was held at the Council Chamber, Town
Hall, at four o'clock this day (Tuesday), the Mayor in
the chair. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting on
the subject of Mr. John O'Connelea resignation. Ulti-
mately it was resolved, and carried unanimously, on the
motion of the Rev. Mr. D'Arcy, P.P., seconded by
Alderman M'Mahon, that Mr. John O'Connell should
be requested to continue in the representation of the city
for the present."

FEMALE EMIGRATION. Yesterday afternoon a
public meeting was held at the Court-house, Maryle-
bono, to take measures fur co-operating with the
central committee appointed to carry out Mr. s.
Herbert scheme of emigration. The Rev. Dr.
's
Spry presided, and briefly explained the objects of
the meeting. Captain Holland proposed the first
resolution, to the effect that a letter be written to
the meeting to form forthwith " a pare-
the honorary secretary of the central committee,
cphleindlginagssociation in aid of the common object."
This proposition was seconded by Mr. Hakes and
supported by the Rev. Mr. Gurney; by Mr. Charles
Elliott, who was in favour of centralizing the manage-
ment of this great plan as much as possible; by Mr.
Brown, who hop( d that the society would not limit their
objects to the emigration of needlewomen ; by Mr. H.
C. Wilson, who contended that the undertaking was
one emphatically national. After a few observations
from other gentlemen, it was agreed that the communi-
cation did not pledge the association to any particular
course of proceeding. The resolution was then adopted
unanimously, and a large amount of subscriptions,
headed by Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., for 211., having
been announced, a vote of thanks was passed to the rev.
chairman and the meeting separated.
TILE NATIONAL REFORM ASSOCIATION.—The
first public meeting of this association for the new year
takes place on Monday next, the 7th, at the London
Tavern. Sir J. Wahnsley, M.P., the president, will be
in the chair on this occasion; and Mr. J.A. Roebuck,
M.P., will, we believe, be one of the speakers. The
plans of the association for 18.50 will be developed at
this meeting.
WRECK OF Two ENGLISH VESSILK—A letter
from Fecamp of the 30th ult. announces the wreck on
that coast of the English brio. the Planet, of Whitby,
and the Anna Lucy, of London. The crew of the
Planet were saved; the fate of the grew of the Anne
Lucy is not known.

This city is composed of the Tombs of the by-gone Pantomimes—
" Who's dat knocking at der door?"—Come and see—" J. Andersen's

say ; we wish they could —llow to make a Pantomime ?—" that is

A SPLENDID HALL IN THE PALACE OF GOOD
QUEEN BESS.
. _

We now come to Historical Facts, therefore, as the Clown at
Astley's would say, " Let us be serious." It is an historical fact,
that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bess,
therefore he bated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspi-
racy—Sir Walter Rale'gh fears his pipe will be put out —Bacon gets
quite in a frizzle, and Lord Burlelzh shakes his head—but there's
nothing in that, whatever they may say to the contrary.
It is an historical fact, that Good Queen Bess was assisted at her
toilet by many of her noblemen, therefore the

GRIND PROCESSION OF THE TOILETTE
is introduced, in which the Royal Wig ! the Royal Ruff ! ! the
Royal Blushes ! ! ! and the Royal Petticoat ! !! ! will make their
first appearance on any stage, and trust to the " usual Indulgence of
a British Public." These are followed by
GOOD QUEEN BESS

that the following were a few of them.
