" We regard the work before us," The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer-
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages.

" 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
fall to recommend it to a careful perusai."—Era.

FUNERAL OF LORD WESTERN.--The mortal re-
mains of the late Lord Western wore interred in the
vault of his ancestors, in the church of Rivsahall, on
Wednesday last. By the will, which is dated the 17th
of April last, Lord Wes;:ern entails all his estates in strict
settlement on Mr. Birch Western, of Tatting stone-pls.ce,
Suffolk ; with remainder to his sons and brothers, suo-
cessively, and their heirs male ; with remainder to Mr.
James 'Western, of Lor.don, and his heirs male. Henry
C. Tuffnell, Esq., the :Rev. John Page Wocd, Bart., and
James Western, Es q , are executors and trustees.By a
codicil of SeptemlJer 29; the Noble Lord bequeaths some
pecuniary legacies, and makes various provisions for his
servants and tiependents. To each of his labourers who
have been in his employ for ten years, the number of
whom are fifty, he has left ten guiueae.

The CHAIRMAN, having shortly stated the object of
the meeting, in calling which, he observed, the directors
had exercised sound discretion, proceeded to congratu-
late his auditory on the number of all parties exten-
sively engaged in the cotton trade, who had met there
in harmony, to take into consideration a question in
which a great national interest was involved—namely,
the tax on cotton-wool, which was a most oppressive
burden to the country and a bounty to their foreign
rivals. If, he said, a new material could be found by
which industry could be employed, and those engaged
in that employ might be raised from poverty to affluence,
the Legislature that would repress such advantage by
taxation would be thought highly reprehensible ; and
such was the fact with reference to the present impost.
He dwelt at some length on the vast importance of the
cotton trade, and showed the immense increase derived
from it by the revenue, by tracing the amount received
by the Customs in the port of Liverpool alone from
100,0001. to 4,000,0001., to which it had now reached,
but it had become stationary at that point, consequent
upon the excessive duties. He referred to the large
amount of skill and capital devoted to the promotion of
the cotton trade, from the inventions of Crompton to the
present time ; and, in illustration of the formidable
r.valry growing up in America, read the following com-
munication, which he had received from a gentleman on
the subject :
"The cotton manufacturers of the United States aro
extending themselves in every direction. The same
spirit of enterprise that completed the work at Lowell
some twenty years ago, has found its way to the south
and the west. In the vicinity of St. Louis there is a
manufactory in process of erection ; also one- in the
neighbourhood of Tallahassee, Florida. In Arkansas
one of an extensive scale has been established ; and at
Natchez a cotton and wool factory is now in operation.
In South Carolina, several manufactories have been for
some time in the full tide of successful experiment. The
New England manufacturers are unusually active, and
will be through the season."

China. They consist of heavy plain domestics, stout

yarn. The duty upon cotton-wool, such as we use,
amounts to eleven per cent. ; and, after being made into

" TO TIIE LORDS OF HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY.
"The members of the Manchester Chamber of Com-
merce and Manufactures, in special general meeting as-
seinbled, respectfully approach your Lordships upon a
subject of vital importance to the trade and commerce
carried on in the article of cotton.
" The vast number of artisans and labourers profitably
employed in the cotton trade—the extensive sunk and
floating capital embarked in it, together with the skill,
energy, and enterprise, by which it is conducted, estab-
lish for it a national interest and importance ; this
branch of our industry supplying more than half of all
the exported produce and manufactures of the United
Kingdom, as shown by the returns made to the House of
Commons, 15th February, 1844. That such a raw
material as cotton-wool, which is of necessity an exotic,
and which has become indispensable to the employment
and existence of multitudes of our workpeople, should
be subject to the imposition of an import tax, will pro-
bably hereafter be regarded as one ( f those delusions in
fiscal regulation which have retarded the progress of,
and been injurious to, the interests of our country. The
tax upon raw cotton has, however, been wisely depre-
cated by the most distinguished statesmen of modern
times, and promises from them of its ultimate extinction
are on record. If there be a principle of economy which
is now universally received, it is that which recognises
the right of exemption from fiscal taxes all those raw
materials whereby the labouring classes may earn their
subsistence ; and in conformity with this humane and just
principle, the duty on sheep's wool was abandoned in the
last session of Parliament, the duty upon flax having
been abandoned several years ago. And in all articles
of export it has been deemed so unjust to tax the mate-
rials contributing to their manufacture, that it has been
the general practice to grant drawbacks for the return

the duties levied are always returned on exports : yet
in the article of raw cotton, about six-sevenths of the
manufactured produce of which are exported, there is
no return of the tax. Your Lordships need not be re-
minded that the treasury of our country will always de-
rive more benefit from the profitable employment of the
people at large, than from fiscal exactions upon the raw
materials on which their labour is expended.

thus making the disadvantages of the British s inner a;
contrasted with the American, into 24 per cent., rid
which, upon all the American cotton used in Great Bri-
tain, will amount, according to last year's consumption,
to upwards of a million and-
a half sterling, clearly es a
blishing advantages in
- competition against this country,
which neither ought t be, nor ever can be, permanently
sustained.
" Since the close of the great European war in 1815,
the tendency to enter into the pacific pursuits of trade
has been evident on the part of every civilised nation ;
but the extension of the cotton trade in the United
States of America is the most extraordinary, as the
spinners of that country are now consumers of cotton
to a greater extent than were the British in 1815: there-
fore this rapid progress has become evidence to which
your memorialists refer, that foreign competition may
possibly arise to a ruinous extent; and, as history shows
that trade driven from a country rarely returns, it plainly
behoves those who control the destinies of our land to
consider whether the very existence of the cotton trade in
it be not alarmingly endangered by retaining an oppres-
sive tax upon the raw material of so important and be-
neficial a trade. Foreign competition has, however,
already been increased by the free exportation of British
machinery ; and so formidable are the indications of in-
creased competition, with the very same implements
which are used in this country, that if there were no
other reason for the repeal of the cotton tax, this alone
would be sufficient to render it imperatively requisite.
" That the cotton tax operates unfavourably in re-
stricting the employment, and to some extent in diminish-
ing the wages, of the workpeople, may be assumed from
the exorbitant per tentage which the duty bears upon
the labourers' wages. Upon the coarsest heavy yarns
produced the duty of five-sixteenths of id. upon Ame-
rican cotton amounts to fifty per cent, upon the producing
wages ; upon the labour employed in spinning yarns for
domestic goods the duty is from thirty to forty-five per
cent. upon the wages ; upon the yarns spun for printed
calicoes the duty amounts to twenty-five per cent. upon
the wages ; and for a
or ttiary muslin upon the yarns
spun, the duty becomes only ten per cent. of the wages
•
of labour ; whilst upon the finest lace yarns, which are
produced in limited quantities, the fraction of duty upon
the wages of labour is almost inappreciable.
As in juxtaposition the tax upon raw cotton, when
compared with wages, is most grievous and oppressive
I in the coarsest yarns spun, so that the consumption and
weaving of manufactured cotton goods,
this tax presses
with the most unjust severity upon our own working
classes, and upon the least wealthy members of the

.It:oimtphoeliwt;ce,ll-übnewin:e,
community.
" Your memorialists, therefore, submit to your Lord-
ships, that the tax upon. cotton-wool, whether it be
of important

The latter Hon. Member protested against the imposi-
tion or retention of any tax whatever, and said it was
get the taxes off,
their business to leaving to the Minister
the dutyt of making up the revenue ! Mr. Bright had no
fears o competition in America; but, of course, wished
free trade, whether this was given him by Lord John
This or Sir Robert That.
Resolutions were agreed to at the meeting denouncing
all imposltiona on trade, and the meeting separated.

On Thursday afternoon, after the isiyal party and
guests had lunched, the Queen paid a visit to the town
of Stamford, very much to the surprise as well as the
delight of the good people of the place, who had many
of them begun to give up the hope of seeing her Majesty
during her stay. At two o'clock in the afternoon the
Mayor received an official intimation from the Marquis
of Exeter, that it was her Majesty's gracious intention
to pass through the principal streets of the town soon
after three o'clock. In an incredibly short space of time
the whole place became a scene of great excitement,
crowds of people assembling in the streets, and thronging
the windows along the line through which her Majesty
was to pass ; the houses became decorated with ever-
greens and banners, as if by magic, and the whole place
presented a very gay and animated appearance. Ar-
rangements were at once made by the authorities for the
prevention of confusion, by the appointment of special
constables to keep the line in the streets. The carriages
left the mansion at a quarter to three. Her Majesty
and the Prince, together with Lord and Lady Exeter,
were in the first carriage ; and Sir Robert Peel, Lord
Delawarr, Lady Portman, and the Maid of Honour were
in the second. In a third were Lady Middleton and
Lady Sophia Cecil. The carriages were preceded by
two of Lord Exeter's servants in livery, and followed by
a considerable number of gentlemen on horseback, many
of them tenants of the Marquis, who formed a sort of
escort. The reception given to her Majesty in Stamford
was most enthusiastic—indeed, it could not have been
lossible for the people to exhibit more warmly their
oyalty and affection. The cheers throughout her pro-
gress were deafening. Her Majesty appeared in excel-
lent health and spirits. She frequently laughed heartily
at the scamperings of the people.
_ _ _

The royal party proceeded down St. Martin's and
across the bridge (which, by the way, is so narrow as
almost to be a discredit to so large a town), until they
came opposite the Town-hall. here a vast number of
people lined the street on either side, and the windows
were crowded with ladies. Passing through St. Mary's,
the carriages turned off to the left into High-street. and
on to the western entrance of the Infirmary. They
returned through St. Paul's-street, Ironmonger-street,
Broad-street, and Red Lion-square, and back again
through St. Martin's. Having reached the boundary of
the to am, they went on to Wothorpe, a village a short
distance from Stamford, where there are some ruins of a
scat of the Burleigh family. Here the royal party
alighted for some time, and saw the Marquis of Exeter's
establishment of young horses, which her Majesty much
admired. On their return to Burleigh, her Majesty and
the Prince inspected the Noble Marquis's stock of cattle,
which were brought to the side of the road in the park
by which the royal party returned to Burleigh. They
are considered to be of very fine breed, and her Majesty
and the Prince both much admired them. The Prince
had seen them in the morning. On their return from
Stamford her Majesty and the Prince each planted a
tree opposite the south side of the mansion. The Queen
planted an oak, and the Prince a lime tree. The
Queen's tree was planted near to a great lime, which
was planted by Queen Elizabeth, on the occasion of her
visit to Burleigh.
During the morning the Prince had been out shooting,
accompanied by Sir Robert Peel, Lord Stanley, the Mar-
quis of Granby, and the Marquis of Salisbury. Mr. An-
son also accompanied the Prince, but neither he nor the
Marquis of Granby were among the sportsman. The
Prince shot 45 pheasants, 56 hares, and 10 rabbits. Al-
together there were 275 head of game shot.
In the evening, before dinner, the Mayor of Stamford,
Lieutenant Haycock, R.N., presented the address from
the corporation and inhabitants of the town, which her
Majesty was pleased to accept most graciously. The
Mayor of Northampton, Mr. Barwell, who was among
the guests invited to the ball, came over early in the
evening with a present for the Prince of a pair of very
handsome Wellington boots, as a sample of the staple
manufacture of the town. They were left with Mr. An-
son, his Royal Highness having signified his wish to ac-
cept them. In the course of the evening Mr. Barwell
was presented to her Majesty by the Marquis of Exeter.
ller Majesty received Mr. Barwell very graciously; and
Prince Albert afterwards entered into conversation with
him for a few moments, during which he informed him
that her Majesty had received very great pleasure from
her reception at Northampton. It was also intimated to
Mr. Barwell that her Majesty would proceed through
Northampton at a walking pace on her return towards
Weedon.
The dinner was ordered half an hour earlier than
usual, as there was to be a ball in the evening. Her
Majesty entered the dining-room at a quarter to eight
o'clock. The following formed the dinner party
Majesty, the Prince, and the royal suite ; the Marquis
and Marchioness of Exeter, Sir Robert Peel, the Marquis
of Salisbury, the Marquis of Granby, the Earl of Aber-
deen, Earl Delawarr and Lady Mary West, Lord

and Lady Sophia Cecil, Lord and Lady Charles Welles-
ley, Lord and Lady Lilford, Sir James Graham, Captain
and Mrs. Spencer, Mr. Pierrepont, Sir George Clerk, Sir
William and Lady Middleton, and the Rev. Mr. Atlay.
The usual toasts were given during dinner, and her
Majesty retired from the dining-hall at ten minutes '
past nine.
The company invited to the ball began to arrive be-
fore nine o'clock. The invitations were very numerous,
including almost all the chief gentry of the neighbour-
hood. The following is a list of them:—

A number of ladies and gentlemen received invitations
to the ball, but were prevented accepting them.
At a quarter past ten her Majesty came from her own
apartments to the ball-room, when she proceeded to a
seat or throne at the end of the room. The Prince sat
by the side of the Queen. The chairs were of blue and
silver, and were raised upon a dais about eight feet long.
The ball was opened by the Marquis of Exeter and
Lady Mary West. Lord Burleigh and Sir Rober
Gunning were in the first quadrille. Dancing then com-
menced generally, and was kept up till a late hour. Her
Majesty and the Prince retired at half-past eleven to the
supper-room, where they remained a few minutes.
On Friday morning her Majesty, Prince Albert, and
the suite left Burleigh at half-past nine o'clock, on their
return to London. Her Majesty had previously taken
leave of the Marchioness of Exeter and the rest of the
family. The Marquis accompanied her Majesty on
horseback one stage, and then went on in his carriage to
be ready to receive her Majesty at Weedon.
As the royal party passed through the park and ronnd
that portion of St. Martin's, in Stamford, through which
their route lay, they were greeted with loud cheers by
crowds of the inhabitants who had assembled to witness
the departure.
All along the route from Stamford to Kettering the
same demonstrations of loyalty and affection were made
by the people as on her Majesty's journey down. The
triumphal arches had all remained up, and the houses
were very gaily decorated with flags, evergreens, &c.
The royal party changed horses at the same stages as
on their journey down.
At Kettering also there was a great demonstration by
the people. here the royal party passed one of the car-
riages containing her Majesty's dressers, who had pre-
ceded her from Burleigh, but had been stopped at a short
distance from Kettering by their horses (post horses)
being so utterly worn out with fatigue as to be unable to
proceed a step further. Every horse for miles round
having been bespoken, other horses could not be ob-
tained, and it will be seen that this circumstance was the
cause subsequently of a very inconvenient delay to her
Majesty at Weedon.
At Northampton her Majesty was received by the
mayor and corporation and a procession of the town-
trades, in the same manner as on her journey derwn.
They preceded the royal carriages as they went at a
walking pace through the town.
At the town and station of Weedon great numbers of
people had collected. The military (47th Foot) lined
the road, and there was a guard of honour (of the 47th)
under the command of Captain Gordon. The Marquis
of Exeter, who had arrived previously, and Sir Henry

Dryden, the High Sheriff of the county, were at the
station to receive her Majesty.
At a quarter past two the approach of her Majesty
to the station was announced by the elevation of the
royal standard, and in a few minutes more the royal
party entered the station. Her Majesty and the Prince
went to their apartments. A delay was caused here by
the non-arrival of the carriage that had been stopper. at
Kettering. The delay was not only a source of personal
inconvenience to the royal travellers, but it also caused
an interference with tke regular passenger trains. Her
Majesty waited till a quarter to three o'clock, when she
determined to go without the carriage ; but, just at this
moment it entered the station, drawn by horses that
booked as if they would have dropped had they been
required to proceed another mile. The carriage was at
once attached 'to the train, and her Majesty entered her
state carriage, accompanied by the Prince. The Prince
shook hands with the Marquis of Exeter, and the train
started, amidst the cheers of the people, at five minutes
to three o'clock. The regular train had not long pre-
ceded it, so that great precaution was required. The
special train, however, came on at a rapid rate, and
reached the Camden-town station at ten minutes past
five o'clock. From here the train was backed, and
turned on the down line, and it reached the Euston
terminus at twenty minutes past five o'cicck. Her
Majesty immediately left for Padddington, escorted by
a party of the 17th Lancers.
It was stated that three children had been killed by
the falling of a scaffolding at Northampton. The accident
was not attended with those fatal consequences. The
children are now quite well.

THE INQUEST ON SERGEANT

ANDREWS.

On Friday forenoon, Mr. Wakley, M.P., coroner for
the Western Division of Middlesex, and a jury of fifteen
householders of Hampstead, assembled at the Coach and
Horses Inn, Heath-street, to pursue an inquiry into the
melancholy circumstances connected with the death of
Thomas Andrews, Esq., aged 68, sergeant•at-law.
Considerable interest was felt in the proceedings. In
addition to several medical gentlemen, the inquest-room
was also crowded by gentlemen of the legal profession,
and personal friends of the deceased.

Tlie jury having been sworn, proceeded to view the
body, which lay in the sleeping apartment of the un-
fortunate gentleman, at his late mansion on Hampstead-
hill. The wound in his throat was horizontal, about
two inches and a half in length, and of considerable
depth, having completely severed the windpipe to the
extent described.

On the return of the jury the evidence was entered
into as follows:

Sarah Priest deposed she was a married woman, and
resided in Medway-street, Somers-town. She was a
nurse, and had formerly acted in that capacity in the
family of the late Mr. Sergeant Andrews. She was
present at the death of that gentleman, which took
place at half-past one in the morning of Wednesday
last. She had been sent for by Mr. Headland,
surgeon, of Guilford-street, on the previous Thurs-
day, to attend on Mr. Sergeant Andrews. On her
arrival she found him in bed, and that he had a wound
in his throat. The medical gentlemen in attendance on
the deceased were Mr. Evans and Mr. Headland. She
attended him from the time she had mentioned up to the
period of his death, but she was wholly incapable of
forming any opinion as to the state of his mind. He
did not object during that period to anything which was
done for him by the medical men, and the only remarks
she heard him make were complaints of great pain in
the head.

The CORONER—Of what part of the head did he
complain ? Witness—He would frequently put his
hands up to either side of his head, and exclaim " Oh,
my head. Oh, the pain is more than I can bear." Mrs.
Andrews, Mr. Willing, Mr. Evans, and Mr. Headland
were present at the time deceased died.

Mr. Herbert Norman Evans deposed that he was a
surgeon, and resided at Hampstead. About half-past
three o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday week he was
sent for, to attend Mr. sergeant Andrews, who he was
informed had inflicted a wound in his throat. On
going to the residence of the learned sergeant, he
found him lying on a sofa in the front parlour, and
Mr. Willing, a neighbouring chemist, in attendance.
He had a large wound inflicted horizontally in the front
of the throat, and appeared very weak from loss of
blood, although there was not much bleeding at
that time. Witness examined the wound, the pressure
of which enabled deceased to speak, but he did not do
so immediately. I was told that he -had been found by
Mrs. Andrews lyin on the rug in the front parlour with
his throat cut, bleeding profusely, with a razor by his
side. That he had been lying in bed all day, in conse-
quence of having a bad headache. lle had been seen
there some short time before by his lady, having nothing
on but his stockings, drawers, and night-dress, and was
found in that condition. On examination of the wound,
he found that it had entered the windpipe, in which there
was a large opening. Thought the case serious from
the first on account of deceased's age, and the fact that
lie had been an invalid for many years ; there were,
however, no very serious symptoms, up to the night of
his death. Was sent for by Mrs. Andrews about eleven
o'clock on Tuesday night last, and was then told there
had been internal bleeding, but there was only slight in-
dication of such being the case. He sat by deceased up
to a quarter-past one on Wednesday morning, when at
that time he suddenly jumped up in bed, and the blood
poured profusely from the nose and mouth, and in a few
seconds after he ceased to exist.
The CORONER—To what did you attribute the bleed-
ing you allude to ? Witness—To some internal vessel
having given way, in consequence of a violent fit of
coughing with which deceased was seized at the time.
The CORONER—What was the immediate cause of
death? Witness—Suffocation.
The CORONER—So then you do not ascribe it to the
wound in the throat? Witness—l think if he had not
inflicted the wound in his throat he would have been
alive now. I think, however, it was a vessel in the lungs
gave way, and the internal bleeding caused suffocation.
The CORONER—How do you know that it was a vessel
of the lungs? Witness—That was my surmise.
The CORONER—If a vessel gave way in the lungs, in-
stead of the wound :in the throat aiding suffocation, it
would be likely to prevent it by allowing the blood to
escape.
Mr. Headland here stepped forward, and said, as the
medical attendant of deceased for some years, that Ser-
geant Andrews was subject to bleeding of the lungs, but
although that was the case, they had agreed that the
primary cause of death was the wound.
The CORONER said that would not do. The doubt
which Mr. Evans had raised could not be removed with-
out a post mortem examination. In such a case as the
present it was of the utmost importance to the family of
deceased and others that the precise cause of death
should be ascertained, and for this purpose the inquiry
must be adjourned.
The inquiry was then adjourned accordingly.
The inquest was resumed on Saturday, when Mr.
Herbert Norman East, surgeon, was called in and
examined. In reply to questions from Mr. Mills, he
said that he had, on the previous day, stated that he

had been in attendance on the deceased from within
a few minutes of the time of the violence upon him-
self until his death.

Mr. Mills—You have, since the meeting of the
inquest, made a post mortent examination ?—Yes, I
have, in conjunction with Mr. Headland and another
gentleman.
Have you found, from that examination, what
vessel it was that the bleeding proceeded from ?—Not
exactly from what vessel, but it was from the left lung.
Did the bleeding proceed in any way from the
wound in the throat ?—Not at all. There was no
bleeding from any vessel in or near the wound.
Where did the bleeding, then, proceed from ?
From the left lung, and there might have been a small
quantity from the right one. The left lung, upon
examination, was dense, as it were, with blood. It
was in this state almost throughout; indeed all of it,
except the lower part. The air cells, too, were com-
pletely filled with blood.
Was there evidence, from the appearance of the
lungs, that there had been a prior existing disease ?
Disease had no doubt been going on for some time in
the lungs, but more particularly in the left lung.
The witness then entered into a detailed descrip-
tion of the internal appearances of the body, from
which appearances he said there could be no doubt
but that death had been caused, not by any effusion
of blood from the wound, but from an effusion from
some vessels of the left lung.
Mr. Wakley—What, then, do you now say caused
the death of the deceased ?—I should say death was
caused by the large pouring out of blood from the left
lung, which produced suffocation.
Mr. Wakley then said, from tlle evidence which
they had now heard, it appeared perfectly clear that
death had ensued from suffocation produced by natu-
ral causes; and the jury returned the following ver-
dict :—" That the death of the deceased was caused
by hsemorrhage from natural causes, which produced
a flow of blood into the lungs."

EXTRAORDINARY SPORT AT lIIS GRACE THE DUKE
OF RUTLAND'S.—On Tuesday week, in a small cover
called the " Links," near Newmarket, his Grace
the Duke of Rutland, Colonel Anson, Mr. Stanley,
and Mr. Fairlie, with only four hours' shooting,
bagged the extraordinary number of 714 head of
game—namely, hares, 336 ; pheasants, 265 ; partridges,
33 ; rabbits, 80 ; and the following day upwards of 50
hares, pheasants, &c. (wounded the previous day),
were picked up. Out of the four hours' shooting, two
of the party were absent an hour and a half, attending a
meeting at Newmarket—namely, his Grace the Duke of
Rutland ani Mr. Fairlie. In the evening a considerable
portion of the game was distributed to the tenantry,
tradespeople, &c.—Leicester Journal.

" The Right Hon. the Earl of Devon took the chair at
three o'clock precisely, and was supported by the Earl
Grosvenor, Lord Claud Hamilton, M.P., Sir George
Staunton, Bart., M.P., E. W. Pendarves, M.P, William
Evans, M.P., Lord William Lennox, Colonel the lion.
Leicester Stanhope, Brigadier-General Sir Henry Pynn,
Henry Waymouth, Esq., Charles Cochrane, Esq.,
William Tite, Esq., William Vizard, Esq., Dr. Holt
Yates, J. W. Moore, Esq., and others of the Vice-Pre-
sidents and Committee, with a full attendance of members.
" In opening the proceedings, Lord Devon observed,
that according to the usual custom of societies of this
nature, we had met to hear a report of the progress and
present state of our affairs, on which—considering the
very short time that had elapsed since a few gentlemen
had met together at his house to hear Mr. Buckingham's
prospectus of the Institute, and to confer together on the
best means of assisting him to complete his original de.
sign—be thought there would be found much reason for
contratulat ion.
" A short preliminary conversation ensued, as to cer-
tain abridgments made-in the report, and the feeling of
the meeting being in favour of its being now read in the
shortest form, this was accordingly done by the secre-
tary, and the balance-sheet signed by the auditors was
also read and explained.
" Mr. Baylis, who moved the first resolution, said that
he had heard so many unfavourable rumours of ono kind
or another, that his mind had been strongly impressed
with apprehension for the result ; but after the satisfac-
tory statements of the report and balance-sheet just
read, these impressions were entirely removed, and he
had the gra atest pleasure in moving that the report
be rece ',A, adopted, and entered in the minutes of the
Society.
" Mr. Tite said that he felt very reluctant to incur
any unnecessary expense, but he deemed it to be so im-
portant to the interests of the Institute that this report
should be widely circulated, that he begged to submit
a motion for its being printed and distributed among
the members, as he was quite sure that wherever it was
read it would remove many erroneous conceptions, and
be of the greatest benefit to the Society.
" Mr. Simpson, in moving the third resolution, said
that he, too, like others, had heard all manner of evil-
bodings. But when on his first coming to town from
Edinburgh be came to see the institute for himself, and
investigate the mode and manner in which its affairs
were conducted, he could not but be filled with admira-
tion at the beauty, appropriateness, good taste, elegance,
and comfort of the one, and the ability and completeness
of the other. It seemed to him a matter of wonder, as
well as gratification, that so much should have been
done, ar.d so well done too, in so short a time, and there-
fore he had great pleasure in submitting his motion of
entire satisfaction with the management.
" Mr. The, in moving a vote of thanks to Lord Devon,
passed a high encomium on the Noble President, for the
application of so much of his attention to the affairs of
the Institute, considering the multiplicity and import-
ance of his engagements ; and he felt sure that his Lord-
ships continued approbation and patronage of the
Society would be regarded by the public as the best
proof of its being founded on sound principles, and con-
ducted with honour and integrity.
" Dr. Camps drew the attention of the meeting to the
zeal, ability, and unremitting devotion of all his time
and talents, which Mr. Buckingham bestowed on the
Institute, and regarded his able management of its
affairs as the best guarantee for its continued success.
Flaying witnessed all this for himself, from the earliest '
beginning of the undertaking, and seen no abatement
of it to the present time, he had great pleasure in
moving a vote of thanks to Mr. Buckingham and the
Committee, for their valuable services and exertions
during the past year.
" The Earl of Devon, in returning thanks for the
compliment paid to him, said that the whole merit
of the idea and conception of the plan of the
Institute belonged to Mr. Buckingham ; and all
that he (Lord Devon) had done was to co-
operate, which he did most cordially, with others, to
carry this plan out. He believed, from the first, that
the idea, though a new and bold, was yet a valuable one,
and might be reduced to practice, though many excel-
lent friends of his thought otherwise. The result, how-
ever, had shown that their apprehensions were not well-
founded. With Mr. Buckingham he had now main-
tained a pretty close and constant intercourse on the
subject for nearly a year and a half, and he must say,
that he could not but acknowledge and admire the zeal,
perseverance, and ability with which he had achieved so
much in so short a space of time. Indeed, the only fatilt
he had to find with him was that lie was too zealous ;
and the most frequent duty which he (Lord Devon) had
to perform was to exercise the office of ardour checker,'
and prevent Mr. Buckingham from doing too much. But
for his zeal, however, the end could Rot have been accom-
plished ; and he was glad to find that it was felt and
acknowledged in all quarters ; and that the friends and
supporters of the Institute were daily on the increase,
while its evening parties were more and more brilliant
and satisfactory. He had himself attended several of
these, and was much pleased at the evident gratification
they afforded to all ; while he understood that the last,
which occurred on the preceding evening, and which he
was prevented from attending by an engagement else-
where, was one of the fullest and most attractive of the
season. In all that was stated in the report on the sub-
ject, and indeed in every other part of it, he entirely
concurred—and he had no doubt that as the advantages
and pleasures of the Institute became more known, they
would be more and more sought after and appreciated.
" Mr. Jessel begged to ask Lord Devon, whether some
plan might not be devised, by which Mr. Buckingham,
the value of whose labours was admitted by all, could be
secured a more competent remuneration than the present
mode of payment afforded him : as he was sure the
members generally would support the committe in
awarding him a fixed salary, of a much larger amount
than the small surplus now left for all his exertions, by
which the Institute has been brought to its present state
of efficiency.
" Lord Devon said he agreed with the Hon. Gentle-
man as to the desirability of securing an adequate and cer-
tain compensation to Mr. Buckingham for his labours ;
but the difficulty lay in this : that as the members were
exempt from all legal liabilities beyond their respective
subscriptions, the question would be, in the event of the
income being insufficient to allow of such compensation,
who was to make it up to him—the committee, or the
members, or both ? The most certain method of secu.
ring a proper return to Mr. Buckingham would be to in-
crease the general income of the Institute by an addi-
tion to the number of its members, as in that case all
would be benefited, and there would be an ample surplus
for remuneration without the necessity of calling upon
any parties to make up a deficiency. It should be re-
membered that the Institute was yet in its infancy, and
there was every reason to hope that it would go on im-
proving in its resources as well as its attractions."

DEATH FROM EATING BITTER ALMONDS.—Thursday
evening Mr. J. Payne concluded the investigation into
the death of Mr. L. D. Nind. The ward- beadle stated,
that he had made inquiries at all the chemists and
grocers shops in the neighbourhood, but could not learn
that any prussic acid or bitter almonds had been sold to
a person answering the description of the deceased. Mr.
Mason stated, that he had, in conjunction with two
eminent surgeons, subjected the remainder of the con-
tents of the stomach to a test, the result of which was
the production of one drachm of prussic acid of com-
merce, which was quite sufficient to account for death,
and might have been imbibed from the quantity of bitter
almonds found in the stomach. There being no further
material evidence, the coroner suggested the propriety
of returning an open verdict. The jury, after a short
consultation, returned a verdict—" That the deceased
died from the effects of poison contained in a quantity t f
bitter almonds found in his stomach." _

TIIE ATTEMPTED ROBBERY AT THE ST. KATIIA-
RINE'S DocKs.—An account appeared in our paper of
Thursday of an attempted robbery of a large quantity
of brandy from St. Katharine's Docks, and of the sin-
gular manner in which the same had been discovered,
and thereby prevented. Some further particulars have
since come to light on the subject. It appears that the
Customs' officers on board of the ship Gem, which has
recently arrived in the dock from Charente, had retired
to rest, after watching from nine o'clock on the Monday
night till three of the following morning, and that, about
six o'clock, the officer was informed by the mate that
one of the casks lying on the deck, which had beta
hoisted from the hold on the previous afternoon, had
been plundered to a considerable extent in the following
manner :—The cask was lying close to the side of the
vessel, with the head towards the hatchway, and a hole
had been bored through the side of the ship and the
head of the cask, by which means the brandy had been
extracted, the hole being closed again, so as to escal e
observation, until the thieves had got safely away with
their booty. On the cask being guaged, it was found
that no less than 32 gallons had been abstracted. Ile
number of bladders found in the gutter of the roof of
the cigar warehouse was 16, and were found to contain
nearly 20 gallons, and near the bladders lay a gimblet
and a quantity of ropes, so that 12 gallons of the spirit
is still unaccounted for, and it is supposed that that
quantity must have been securely got away by the
thieves.
NOVEL SYSTEM or ROBBERY.—The Correctional
Tribunal of the Seine was occupied on Tuesday with the
trial of Auguste Maudhuit, aged 24, for robbery. It ap-
peared that the prisoner has chalked out for himself a
novel plan to obtain the confidence of his victims. Ile
always applied to persons of the weaker sex, and pre-
tending honourable intentions, finished by robbing thn.
A written deposition was handed in from a young wo-
man, named Eliza Noise, which stated that the prisoner
had followed her in the street, and pretending the most
ardent love, had insinuated himself into her affections
and domicile, and at last fixed a day for their marriage.
lie disappeared, however, previously, carrying with him
157 f. She afterwards met bins in the I Royal, and
had him arrested. Two others of the prisoner's ♦ictims
came forward in person, and testified against him. Fm om
one he had taken a gold watch, chain, and other artic:es,
to the value of 600 f., and from the other upwards of
300 f. The Court sentenced him to eighteen months' im-
prisonment and 50f. fine.—Galignani.
TouLoN, Nov. 7.—The whole of this day the port
has been greatly animated with the embarking of troops
for Algeria ; 1,100 men left this morning by the glean:-
frigate Montezuma for Algiers, and 2,000 were embarked
in the afternoon on board the transport rcrdrix for
Oran, and the Provencale for Algiers. It is said that
no less than 5,000 or 6,000 men will embark in the
course of next week from this port fur the same destination
