improvement of their estates. Is it not of some
worth, that through agricultural meetings this is
known to all the landlords and farmers of the
country ?—that every improving landlord is re-
minded to say to his tenant, drain and improve the
land, and I will lend you the money (which I can
borrow at 3) at 5 per cent„ and that the improving
tenant is reminded to say to his landlord, "I am
willing to drain and manure the farm I hold from
you, if you will only grant me or procure me a loan
at the legal rate of interest." In the present
state of the money market, it must be shameful,
when such things are known, to every landlord or
farmer who neglects necessary improvements ;
and this reminds us of a material omission of
the noble Secretary for the Colonies. His Lord-
ship forgot to remind his hearers that to the
Cabinet of which he is so distinguished a support
and ornament, the country owes not only the
auspicious state of the money market, but the
perfect safety of investments in agricultural improve-
ment—for safe these investments would not be were
it not for the moderate and efficient corn-law of
1842. That law it is which has ruined the League
and muzzled even our " fixed duty" friends.

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious Metals, called Nickel and German Silver, sup-
planted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
AL BATA PLATE.

et WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Fo]gate, aided by
a person of Science in the amalgamation of Metals, has succeeded in
bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ;
possessing alt the richness of Silver in appearance, with all its dura-
bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as
it does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous in mixed
Metals is entirely extracted—resisting all Acids—may be cleaned as
silver, and is manufactured Into every Article for the Table and
Sideboard:—

C. WATSON begs the Public will understand that this Metal is
peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold
than his metal is from all others—on its intrinsic merit alone he
wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing eulogiums he re-
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an
article of universal wear.

C. Watson's handsomely Illustrated Catalogue and Price Currant
is just published, and Families who regard economy and elegance
should possess themselves of this useful Book, which may be had
Gratis, and Post Free, from the above Address.
PATENT PARAGON CAMPIIINIS LAMPS.

The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has hem
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke sr smell,
having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to
IG wax candles.

C. Watson's Warehouses, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton
Folgate, will contain; throughout the season, all the most elegant
recherche and new patterns, comprising Or-moth, China, Glass, and
Opal.
Old Oil Lamps fitted with the Paragon Bead for 21s. And the
Paragon Apparatus applied to the Vesta for Gs. The Spirit analysed
and recommended by Dr. tire, is delivered in screw cans by C.
Watson's carts, at 4s. per gallon.

FOR BILE, INDIGESTION, AND DISORDERS OF THE
STOMACH AND LIVER.
DR. A. A. HARVEY, of Bath, formerly Sur-
geon in the East India Company's Eervice, recommends to the
Public his Family Pills.
The great benefits resulting from an ettiracious household medicine
must be manifest to all. This medicine is not put forward as a cure
for every complaint, but in those cases of sudden and temrorary ill.
ness so frequently occurring in families, it will be found of singular
service, as its operation is extremely mild, as well as effectual.
The large and steadily increasing sale of these Pills, principally
from the recommendations of those who have experienced their sa,u-
tary qualities, is the best proof of their excellence. A few eoses will
convince those suff•ring from Indigestion, from whatever cause
arising, that their effects are permanent. They remove obstructions
of the Bowels; act upon the Kidneys, stimulating the absorbents to
carry off those fluids which might otherwise terminate in Dror sy.
They have been found of infinite service both in England and during
Dr. Harvey's practice in the East Indies, in preventing and curing
the Jaundice ; in passing off Gall 'tones, and rtstoring a healthy ac-
tion to the Liver. Ladies will find them particularly beneficial both
before and after their confinement. •
These truly excellent Pills are to be procured genuine of Edward',

DICTIONAIRE NATIONAL FRANCAIS. - The lIIIITI

hers which have already issued of this critical dictionary
or the French language are sufficient to found upon
them the judgment that, when completed, it will form
not on'Jy a most valuable work, as comprising all the new
and ae nowledged words introduced lately into the French
tongue, but a repertory of the critical and analytical
notes a all the other most esteemed dictionaries. M.
Bosch Aine, the author, has evidently bestowed on

it great labour and attention, as well as talent ; and his
Majesty the King of the Frenck never showed greater
judgment than when he took this great national literary
work under his immediate patronage. The publishers,
M. Sit son, Rue des Fosses du Temple I Paris, and
Messrs. L. and A. Ber and Co. of Blenheim-street, in
this city, have every reason to be satisfied with the suc-
cess of tLis undertaking.

master's::medical attendants, but to no purpose ; and the
case wash at last declared incurable, and he was dis-
charged.. The poor fellow then, as a forlorn hope,
summer iciai using Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which
effectuany eradicated the disease from his blood in less
than three weeks. Sold at Professor Holloway's Esta-

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

A petite musical drama, entitled Der Nacht Teufel, was
produced at this theatre last evening with complete success.
The principal characters were supported by Miss P. Horton,
Miss Julia Bennett, and Mrs. Glover. The two former ladies
contributed greatly to the success of the piece, by their
charming manner of executing some very delightful music;
and Mrs. Glover seconded it, by her admirable acting a.,
lady-superior over certain maids of honour. The character
was exactly suited to her, and sho did it full justice. This,
drama is altogether a very pleasant affair, and will no doubt
have a run. The house was very well attended.

MENZIES' CALEDONIAN COSTUME ASSEMLBY.—On
Tuesday evening last this long and well-established re-union
came off in a manner worthy of its former reputation. Many,
varied, and beautiful, were the " Garbs of old Gaul" that
blendedwith picturesque effect among the elegantly.dressed and
fairer portion of humanity. Mr. Adams' band played some of the
most favourite quadrilles, &c., with a liberal admixture of tlie
stirring strains of the Land o' Cakes. The reels were most
capitally danced in true native style, step, and spirit, to the
mountain music of Mackay, piper to the late Duke of Sussex,
who seemed to feel, with his brother of the drone and chan-
ter—Rab the Ranter, of " Maggie Lauder " celebrity—that,
" It was worth his while to play sae weel,
When he had twa sic dancers,"
After an elegant and ample supper, where loyalty and gal-
lantry forgot not the votive cup to our Liege Lady and her
fireside, and the lovely partners of this night's festivity, the
dance was resumed, with increased alacrity and enjoyment,
until an advanced hour in the morning. All seemed to be
highly pleased with thearrangementsof the Assembly, which
were made by Mr. Menzies, and which he conducted with
his well-known ability of tact and amiability of temper.
LEOMINSTER.—A second lecture on free trade was
delivered 1V Mr. Falvey, of the Anti-Corn-law League, on
Wednesday evening, the Gth inst. The result was highly
satisfactory to the friends of free trade. Two individuals, a
Mr. Cartwright, and a Mr. Cooper, severally attempted to
refute the lecturer, but after one of them had used words
which were deemed disrespectful to the lecturer and the au-
dience, much interruption occurred. On the meeting having
been appealed to, however, whether they would hear these
parties, and a show of hauls being held up in their favour,
they were called upon to come forward a second time, which
each of them declined to do. The spacious room was well
filled, and the feeling in favour of free trade, as may be ga-
thered from the preceding details, very enthusiastic. It
is supposed from 400 to 500 persons, were present. We cannot
refrain from adiling, that after tI!P •`a" weight of authority
and evidence whieb is abroad, PVin6ng the safety and bene-
fits of unrestricted industry, and after the reluctantly-ex-
torted admission of Sir R. Peel, that the principles of free
trade are the principles of common sense, he must be a bold
;1141) Who attempts to controvert those principles.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
FEES TO CLERKS IN PETTY SESSIONS.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved for certain
returns relating to Fees paid to Clerks in Petty Sessions.
No grievance, he said, was more heavy upon the poorer
classes of the country than the demands made upon
them in the shape of fees. The result was, that there
was almost an absolute denial of justice to a great num-
ber of persons who happened to be in a state of poverty.
The returns were then ordered.
London, England, 1844-03-08

CORN-LAWS.

The Earl of HADDINGTON presented two petitions
from Haddington and other places, praying for protec-
lion to the agricultural interest ; in doing so, he said
that a meeting had been got up by about twenty persons
in favour of the Anti-Corn-law League movement ;
and from them a petition had emanated purporting to be
from the agriculturalists of the country, and, in conse-
quence, several meetings were held of those, who were all
persons composed of landowners, farmers, and agricul-
tural servants, from which the petitions he had pre-
sented emanated.

The Marquis of NORMANBY moved for certain
returns with respect to the Charitable Donation Funds
in Ireland.

qte, COURT OF PRIVY COUNCIL.

Lord BROUGHAM said he wished to make some
observations with respect to the jurisdiction of the
Court of Privy Council. Important questions relating
to colonial and Indian matters were decided by the
Privy Council, and therefore it was aosolutely necessary
that every possible assistance should be given to that
Court. If it was such an important Court with
respect to our distant possessions, how much more
important must it be to our British subjects at home ?
He felt confident in asserting, and he was sure he would
be borne out in that assertion the more that matter was
considered, that nothing could be more unfair, or more
unsatisfeetory than the present law of divorce, and that
they were also bound not only to act upon their own
judgment and reflection, but that they also should avail
themselves of the experience of other countries to try
and devise some mode of amending those laws. This
was one of the reasons inducing him to bring forward
this measure, and be trusted it would meet with the
assent of their Lordships.
(LEFT SPEAKING.)
London, England, 1844-03-08

CORN-LAWS.

Mr. BELL presented a petition from a place in North.
umberland against any alteration in the corn-laws.
POOR-LAWS.

Sir C. LEMON presented a petition from the clergy and
laity of the deanery of Penryn, in Cornwall, praying that
some provision might be made in the new Poor-law Bill, to
secure the regular performance of Divine worship in the union
houses.

Parliament, till some future day.
The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table a Bill
