PILCHARD FISHERY.

MOUNT'S BAY.—During the past week, the drift
boats have taken nightly about a hogshead of fine
pilchards. The seams have not been shot.

ST. IVES —During the week six reins have shot,
and have taken about 850 hogsheads of pilchards,
which are landed and the nets taken up. Several
other shoals have been seen f:om the hills, and from
the quantity seen by the driving boats there is every
appearance of a prosperous season. Some of the
drift boats have brought in a number of very fine
mackerel, which sold at 15s. per six score.
ST. AGUES.—On Tuesday night, the " Towan"
sewn enclosed a large shoal, but the fish tore the net,
and got off again.

PERRAN PORTlL—lmmense quantities of pilchards
have been seen off this place and St. Agnes, and, on
Thursday, the 22d inst., th:. Farmers' sean shot,
and drew safely on shore 500 hlgshea Is. On Monday
last, there were *hi ee seans 'hot—the Union
taking about 700 higsheads, the Miners' about
500, and the Farmers' about 400. The greater
part has been sold out fresh, at the basket, con
taming nearly 300 fish. Should the pre,ent fine
weather continue, there is every reason to hope for
more catches, as the fish still continue in the bay.-

THE MEDICAI PROFESSION RE-
QUIRE THIRTY MILLION POUNDS
FROM THE COUNTRY AS COMPENSA-
TION.
7'O THE EDITOR OF THE SOIV.

Sta,—ln the Lancet of last Sa'urday, the 31st of
August, at page 712, you will rind a letter from
one G. ..T. Perry, claiming compeFsation froo.
Parliament to the tune of 30,000,000/, because
Sir James Grab rn has n thought fit so far to
interfere with the medical liberty of Ole subject as to
put down the sale of patent medicines. This demand
of Mr. Perry's is a prery good proof of how the
wind blows. How far it accords with what we are
told by doctors, viz , that they have no interest in the
matter, and that it is solely for the public good that
they desire the suppression of patent medicines, we
leave the public to decide. Mr. Perry cites, as a
precedent for the claim, the 20,000,0001. paid to the
proprietors of slaves. What a splendid analogy !
(Issued by Morison, Moat, and Co., of the British
College of Health, New-road, London, for and on be-
half of the body of Hygeists, who cont,,nd that since
all diseases proceed from one cause—viz., an impurity
of the blood—they should be treated by the Veg....table
Universal Medicine, which being a compound of in-
nocuous ingredients, can be used by all persons, with-
out the assistance of any doctor.)
P.S. Doctors had better, on the meeting of Parlia
ment, obtain a law to prevent people eating and
drinking what they please without their advice.

FDIVARD PRICE and CO. beg respectfully
to request that all parties wishing to purchase their COMPO-
SITE CANDLES will ask in the shops simply for " Price's Patent
Candles." Since these have attracted public attention, many Imita-
tors have made candles, and called them by the name " Composite,"
used by Edward Price and Co.; but the process by which the real
Composite Candles are made, being a patent one ; and E. P. and Co.
granting no licenses, none of these imitation candles are at all the
same as the real ones. The chief properties of these latter are their
burning, without snuffing, more brilliantly than the best wax, and
their affording so large an amount of light, that they are cheaper,
taking this into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of
them giving the light of three ordinary moulds. They may be had of
most of the respectable tallow-chandlers throughout the kingdom, and
are supplied to the trade wholesale by Edward Price and Co., Bel-
mont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell.

REALISE A LARGE FORTUNE.

The observations which follow are extracted from a Welsh
Paper, and hilly demonstrate the accuracy of the foregoing state-
ment :—" I have been in Carnarvonshire, to see the Quarry, and
my opinion is, that there is something extraordinary in it; it
can be made, with a few thousands outlay,

THE MOST EXTENSIVE CONCERN OF THIS SOIL
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

The vein of pure slates is ascertained to be no less than 180
yards wide, and at least half a mile in length, without any ob-
struction, and as deep as any parties may feel inclined to go,
wherein there is sufficient quantity of that useful material
TO SUPPLY THE WHOLE WORLD FOR CENTURIES
TO COME;
and with good management the profits would—they could not be less
than from 100 to 150 per cent. upon the outlay, after it is put in
proper order. It will employ many hundred men to great
advantage. Another desirable point connected with this concern
is, that the cover of earth on the surface is only two or three yards
deep, whereas most of the quarries are under ten or fifteen yards
cover. The workshops, waggons, and working utensils are in
good repair, as also the road, three miles of which has been made
at the expense of nearly 2,0001.;
THIS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE PURCHASE.

Another point is worthy of consideration, the work is on the side of
the celebrated Carnarvon Hills, and a sufficient declivity affords to
the water a cheap conveyance to

THE BEAUTIFUL EIGIA LAKE.
These splendid waters are full of fish, and comequently afford lots
of amusement, and the hill prevents the impossibility of any annoy-
ance to the works from water. The distance to a capital
shipping wharf is only seven miles, and but nine to the intended
CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD GREAT RAILWAY.
The name of the concern is

THE " CEDRYN QUARRY,"
situate about ten miles from Banger, and the same distance from
Conway and Llanrwst, in the centre between the three towns.

" It is held under

THE RIGHT HON. LORD NEWBOROUGH
for an unexpired term of twenty.eight years, which can be extended
at any time.
" In conclusion, we can only add that the Quarry ought to pro.
duce a considerable sum, as it is
A SURE FORTUNE FOR ANY SPIRITED PARTY

who may be lucky enough to get it."
This unpretending statement of facts will convince even those
inclined to be sceptical, that it is an investment free from doubt or
uncertainty.

Full particulars may be had on application to Mr. E. Owen,
Auctioneer, Ruthin ; to Mr. George Robins, London ; the
Waterloo, Liverpool; the Albion, Manchester: and the White
Lion, Bristol.

THE MATHEW TESTIMONIAL.

We said in our last that the testimonial was a job.
We are now able to prove our words. The amount
collected was 2,118/. ; the expenses were 9681. Bs.;
and the balance now on hand is 1,150/. The whole
concern has been wound up, the accounts audited, and
the names of auditors, secretary, and chairman ap-
pended. There is no mistake about the thing—the
expenses for collecting in or keeping a sum little over
2,0001. amounted to a sum little less than 1,000/.!
This was being economical with a vengeance.
This was to be the enduring testimonial, that was
to last till the day of judgment, a monument of
a people's gratitude to a great - benefactor ! Endu-
ring ! only think of it I—an enduring testimonial! If
half of the whole endured but two years, in how
many years would the whole be dissolved? Here is
a sum to work for the Committee of the testimonial,
which in future must be designated the " Dissolving
Testimonial." That was a valuable Committee—a
Committee to be remembered with pleasure, ant to
be again sought for when a national benefactor is to
be complimented, or a flagrant job created.
Is it not a job? To our mind, it is one of the
vilest upon record. It is a culpable, shameless
squandering of the public funds—an unjust wasting
of money properly belonging to an individual.
And yet, we saw it somewhere insinuated that
Fathew Mathew was culpable in not placing his
affairs, and his difficulties, even himself, at the disposal
of a Committee—the "Dissolving Testimonial" Com-
mittee, of course. If Father Mathew did so, we
should write him down demented—mad as a March
hare. If the nation bestowed 10,000/. upon Father
Mathew, the Committee would melt down half that
sum in the collection. That would be delightful.
Suppose a suns of 7,000/.—the amount of Father Ma-
thew's liabilities—were collected, that that sum were
the limit of the funds subscribed by the nation, and
that no more could be, by any possibility, collected--
suppose also that this 7,0001. were entrusted to the
dissolving Committee, what then would be the result ?
Simply this, that Father Mathew would have an " en-

DEATH OF ANOTHER OF THE SUFFERERS.

The young man Aaron Wilkinson, the stoker of the
engine, whose explosion on the line of the Dwyer road
on Wednesday morning, has led to such lamentable re-
sults, expired at a late hour on Thursday in Guy's Hos.
pital. The unfortunate young man, who was only 20
years of age, ever since his admission lay in a hopeless
state, from the fearful manner in which he was scalded
all over his body, besides having his skull fractured.
lie reoeived the most unremitting attention from the
principal medical gentlemen of the establishment. He
was in a state of stupor from the time of his admission
until his death.

SIR lIENRY POTTINGER.—We understand that the
Directors of the East India °Association of this city
have agreed to an address to Sir Henry Pottinger, and
that two of their number, who are deputed to present
the same, are also charged to invite Sir Henry to a public
dinner. The proposal appears to be most favourably
received. and gives promise of a large and most respect-
able turn-out.—Glasgow Arqus.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT NORTRWITCII, CUE-
SIIIRE.—Thursday information was received at the vari-
ous metropolitan police-stations, of an extensive robbery
of notes and gold having taken place at Northwitch, in
Cheshire, on the 3d instant. The property was stolen
from the house of Mr. William Glover, of Whitton-
street, and amounts in the aggregate to 900 i., consisting
of 8701. in notes and bank post-bills, and thirty sove-
reigns. The numbers and dates of both bills and notes
are known.

UNIYERSITY or LONDON.—The following candi-
dates have passed the examination for honours :—Medi-
cine: Ballard, Edward (gold medal), University College;
Manson, Fredericke Robert, King's College ; Raper,
William Augustus, University College ; Browne, Joseph
Hullett, Guy's Hospital. Midwifery: Manson, Frederieke
Robert, King's College. To Dr. Ballard was also
awarded a certificate of special proficiency in medicine.
A correspondent informs us that two strangers,
not clothed in mourning, attracted attention at the fu-
neral of the Princess Sophia, by taking up their station
close to the coffin. One of them is the curate of a parish
in the neighbourhood of Slough, and the other a farmer
living at Langley. They joined the funeral procession
as it passed through Windsor, and proceeded with it into
the chapel.
GRAND BATTURS IN PRRTIISIHRE.—Last week Lord
Kinnaird gave a grand battue, on the preserves of Rossie
Priory, to four guns ; the result of the day's sport was
192 head of game of all sorts. On Tuesday and Wed-
nesday this week the Earl of Mansfield and a large party,
consisting in all of six guns, had similar sport over the
preserves of Scone. The first day the weather was foggy
and unfavourable, but on Wednesday the. atmosphere
was clear and frosty, and the sport was excellent. The
result of both days, we understand, was nearly 950 bead
of game, chiefly pheasauts.—lnverness Courier.

THE MATHEW TESTIMONIAL.

We said in our last that the testimonial was a job.
We are now able to prove our words. The amount
collected was 2,118/. ; the expenses were 968/. Bs.;
and the balance now on hand is 1,150/. The whole
concern has been wound up, the accounts audited, and
the names of auditors, secretary, and chairman ap-
pended. There is no mistake about the thing—the
expenses for collecting in or keeping a sum little over
2,0001. amounted to a sum little less than 1,000/. !
This was being economical with a vengeance.
This was to he the enduring testimonial, that was
to last till the day of judgment, a monument of
a people's gratitude to a great benefactor ! Endu-
ring ! only think of it I—an enduring testimonial ! If
half of the whole endured but two years, in how
many years would the whole be dissolved? Here is
a sum to work for the Committee of the testimonial,
which in future must be designated the " Dissolving
Testimonial." That was a valuable Committee—a
Committee to be remembered with pleasure, anti to
be again sought for when a national benefactor is to
be complimented, or a flagrant job created.
Is it not a job ? To our mind, it is one of the
vilest upon record. It is a culpable, shameless
squandering of the public funds—an unjust wasting
of money properly belonging to an individual.
And yet, we saw it somewhere insinuated that
Fathew Mathew was culpable in not placing his
affairs, and his difficulties, even himself, at the disposal
of a Committee—the "Dissolving Testimonial" Com-
mittee, of course. If Father Mathew did so, we
should write him down demented—mad as a March
hare. If the nation bestowed 10,0001. upon
Father
Mathew, the Committee would melt down half that
sum in the collection. That would be delightful.
Suppose a sum of 7,000/.—the amount of Father Ma-
thew's liabilities—were collected, that that sum were
the limit of the funds subscribed by the nation, and
that no more could be, by any possibility, collected—
suppose also that this. 7,0001. were entrusted to the
dissolving Committee, what then would be the result ?
Simply this, that Father Mathew would have an " en-

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

On Saturday night a frightful occurrence took
place at this theatre during the performance of ti"
Revolt of the Harem. In the second act of the ballet
the is lies of the harem are discovered bathing, among
whom Zulica, the royal slave (Miss Webster), is one.
During the scene the gas placed at the bottom of the
stage, or under the sunken portion of it, where the
water-pieces, or waves, are placed, caught the light
drapery of Miss Webster's dress, and in an instant
her whole person was enveloped in flames. This
frightful event, taking place on the stage, in sight cf
the audience, the whole house was in a state of con-
sternation, and screams issued from the ladies in the
front of the boxes and pit, who were the first to per-
ceive the appalling accident. The unfortunate young
lady rushed round the stage, actually in a blaze,
uttering the most heart-rending cries, and in her
agony attempted to seize the dress of one of her com-
panions, but this lady had the presence of mind to
avoid close contact, to push her off, and thereby save
herself, although her own dress was for a moment on
fire. Miss Webster at last rushed towards the P.S.
wing, and was caught in the anus of a carpen-
ter, who, with great presence of mind, threw
her down and rolled himself over her, and thus
extinguished the flames, though, as it appears, at his
personal risk, for his hands and face are said to
have been much burnt in the generous effort to
rescue the sufferer. Miss 'Webster was instantly
taken to the green-room, when it was ascertained that
her arms, bosom, and face were severely burnt. Sur-
gical aid was procured, and the young lady, by desire
of her friends, was removed to the residence of Dr.
Locock, in- Hanover-square. The accident was of
so sudden an occurrence that the whole scene did not i
occupy the space of two minutes. The carpenter
who was injured in extinguishing the flames, was con-
veyed to the King's College Hospital in Carey-street,
near Clare-market. 'Whilst the house was in such
a state of alarm Mr. W. H. Payne, who played in
the ballet, endeavoured to address the audience, and
stated that hopes were entertained of Miss Webster
being only slightly injured, though at the moment
nothing but the worst fears were entertained. The
ballet, notwithstanding the alarming occurrence, was
concluded in the usual way, though much delay ne-
cessarily took place.

MARYLEBONE VESTRY.

The weekly meeting of the above vestry took place on
Saturday at the usual hour, and after the other business
of the day had been goae through, the clerk read an
official letter from Sir ,James Graham, requesting the
vestry to pay up the balance Of the police-rates before
the 26th instant. The clerk stated that the stun due
was 7,0001. _ _ _

A VESTRYMAN inquired what was the usual mode of
payment ?
The CLERIC said that formerly 5,0001. was paid be•
fore, and the rest after Christmas. _ _ _

Mr. WILSON moved—" That the Vestry-clerk be
directed to acknowledge the receipt of the letter, and to
state that it was not convenient for the Vestry to settle
the whole between this and Christmas, but they were
willing to pay over 5,000/. before Christmas, and the rest
at a future time, according to custom."
A VESTRYMAN objected to the words "not con-
venient."

The CLERK said that be thought the following form
would be preferable:—" That the clerk acknowledge the
receipt of the letter, and explain the present state of the
,rates, with a view to the postponement of the payment of
a part of the sum till after Christmas."
Mr. WILSON adopted the above form, and the reso-
lution was passed.
The Chairman left the chair shortly after one o'clock.

TIIE FROST ON THE CONTINENT.—No arrivals have
taken place during the week, from any of the ports on the
shores of the Elbe or Scheldt, both those rivers being
completely blocked up with ice, and effectually prevent-
ing all ingress or egress for vessels bound to and from
these places. Neiter the Batavier, from Rotterdam, nor
the Antwerpen, from Antwerp, have arrived at the St.
Catherine's Wharf at their usual time this week; and
accounts have been received that they are both detained
at their respective ports and unable to leave, in conse-
quence of the severity of the weather. The vessel which
left the river on Wednesday, fur Hamburgh, found it
impossible to enter the Elbe, or proceed even so far as
Cuxhaven, and has been obliged to return to London
and reland her passengers. In consequence of the de-
tention of the Batavier, &c., no arrivals of foreign cattle
have taken place at the port of London during the week.
The frost, however, was fully expected, which accounts
for the very large importations of Dutch horned cattlo
and poultry for several weeks past. _ _

Married, on Thursday, the 12th inst., at the old
parish church, Cheltenham, the Rev. John Charnock,
vicar of Oldfield, near Ripon, Yorkshire, to Harriet
Dorothea, second daughter of the late Vice-Admiral Sir
Robert Tristram Ricketts, Baronet, of thw Elms, Chel
tenham, deceased. The bride was given away by
Thomas Wright, Esq., of Cheltenham, surgeon. The
happy Hair, after breakfasting with Lady Ricketts, at the
Elms, departed in a travelling carriage and four for
Studley, near Ripon, to pass the honeymoon..
A large turnip was pulled this week, which weighed
421b5., and was 39 inches in circumference. It was
