DELCROIX'S ODONTO.

" We do not hesitate to recommend, from experience, DEL-
CROIX'S ODONTO, or the Queen's own Dentifrice, as the most
aaluable means of purifying, preserving, and embellishing the
Teeth and Gums, hitherto offbred to the Publie."—Court Gazette.
The Bouquet Duke of York is the last new fashionable
perfume of the season 1844 ; but though the lzst, is net the least
nperfection, as it happily combines the preceding excellence of all
the royal bouquets, with the delicate and delicious fragrance of the
white moss rose.

Let him who is a true born gentleman,
And stands upon the honour of his birth
If he suppose that I have pleaded truth—
From off this briar pluck a white rose with me.

Messrs. J. Delcroix and Co., 158, New Bond-street, have pleasure
in offering this their last bouquet of the season, and beg to inform
the Nobility and their Patrons that, during the recess, all orders
for their " unique cadeau" of a case containing the six royal bou-
quets for one guinea, comprising the bouquets de la Reine, d'Albert,
Prince of Wales, Duke of York, Princesse Royale, and Princesse
Alice, will be forwarded to any part of the country, carriage paid.
To insure the gcnnine, particular attention is required in observing
that No. 158, New Bond.street, London, be upon each case and
every bottle, as worthleas counterfeits, for the sake of profit, are
sold by Druggists and Hairdressers in town and country.
SHAVING A LUXURY.

PRICE and CO.'s RYPOPHAGON surpasses every soap ever
Invented for shaving. One trial will prove that the luxury of a
good shave can be enjoyed only by these who use Price and Co.'s
Rypophsgon, which renders shaving (hithirto disagreeable and
often painful) pleasant and easy.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1844.

The Archdeacon of Surrey, the Venerable S.
STILBEREORCE, held his Visitation on Monday last, at
St. Saviour's Church, Southwark. The Charge which
he delivered on this occasion was remarkable for the
firmness of its tone, and the sound and rational reli-
gious spirit that pervaded it. There were no needless
periphrases—no beatings about the bush—no jesuitical
haltings between two sets of opinions. Unlike the
Bishop of LONDON—who has been appropriately
called the Sir ROBERT PEEL of the Church—in his
notorious Charge of 1841, the Archdeacon did not
deem it expedient to oscillate like a pendulum be-
tween High Church and Low Church; to curry
favour with the former in one passage, and with the
latter in another; to discuss essentials as if they were
mere :trifles, and to raise trifles to the dignity of
essentials. No such timid or evasive spirit was
visible in Archdeacon WILBERFORCE'S Charge.
He seemed to feel that his subject did not admit of it,
and that it would only be degraded by such a shuf-
fling mode of treating it. Accordingly, nothing could
be more perspicuous than his language, or more
decided and straightforward than his views. We
allude, more particularly, to his remarks on the
subject of the Tractarian heresy, on which he
expressed himself with a distinctness and cogency of
reasoning that must have carried conviction to the
understandings of all who heard him. The Arch-
deacon is clearly no Tractarian. The specious falla-
cies of these Divinity sophists—whose name, we are
sorry to say, is Legion—have no attraction for him—
have made no impression on his acute intellect.
lie pierces at once through the shallow dis-
guise in which they clothe their Romanism ; tracks
them through all their doublings ; and shows them, as
they really are, insidious enemies of the Church under
the pretext of being its best friends. " The causes which
first separated our Church from Rome," observed the
Venerable Archdeacon, " remain altogether unre-
moved ; those perilous corruptions of the highest
truths, which forced our Reformers to come out of
her, as for their lives, continue still within her, and
disfigure her communion ; what, then, can we think
of those, who being placed by PROVIDENCE within
this branch of His holy Church, go over willingly to
the blindness of those self-chosen errors ? Surely
whatever may be their attainments or their zeal, we
must think and speak of them as of men given over
to a great delusion !" The ,venerable speaker then
went on to trace the course of these Tractarian
zealots. At first, no doubt, they had a distinct
perception of the evils of Romanism, but other
features of the system possessed attraction for them ;
and by constantly dwelling on these with a sort of
morbid feeling of admiration, they came by degrees
to lose their clear apprehension of the errors which
on a first view had so startled them; then they began
to think that after all they were not quite so bad, or
London, England, 1844-11-27

I feel honoured, Gentlemen, by your c'loice of me
as President of your So.liety—an honour which I grate-

HOUSE OF COMMONS, August I.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock.
Ladbroke's Estate Bill and Parringliam's Estate Bill
were read a third time and passed.
The Lords' amendments to the North Wales Mineral
Railway Bill were read and agreed to.
The Werrington's, &c., Cum's. Bill was read a third
time and passed.
The Lords' amendments to the Great Southern and
Western Railway (Ireland) Bill were read and agreed to.
Bowyer's Estate Bill was read a third time and passed.
The Tralee Harbour and Navigation Bill was read a
third time and passed.
SAVINGS' BANKS BILL.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved
the third reading of the Savings' Banks Bill ; upon which
Mr. HUME said he had two clauses to propose, to
which he hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would have
no objection. The object of the clauses was to prevent
the great increase which was at present taking place in
the amount of deposits, and to confine those establish-
ments to the use for which they were originally intended.
The clauses which he wished to propose were—a clause,
that deposits shall not exceed 201. in any one year; also
a clause, that when investment amounts to 150 L, interest to
cease. He admitted that the Bill was a better Bill than
the last. The only fault in it was that it did not go far
enough.
On the motion that the first clause be read a second

time,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
thought it would be inexpedient to accede to the p-ropo-
sition of the Hon. Gentleman. If the amount of deposits
to be received by the savings' banks was reduced to
201., he thought it would prejudice those very persons
whom it was the object of the Hon. Gentleman to bene-
fit. With regard to the second clause, also, he thought it
would be inexpedient to limit the entire of a person's
deposits to 1501. The Hon. Gentleman was in error in
supposing that savings' banks were originally intended
to benefit the lowest order of persons. There were per-
sons in a more respectable station, as the children of
pour clergymen, who, he thought, were legitimate ob-
jects to receive the benefits of savings' banks.
Mr. AGLIONBY was sorry that the Right Hon.
Gentleman had not acceded to the second proposition of
the Hon. Member for Montrose.
Mr. DIVETT concurred in the ♦iew taken by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer with regard to this sub-
ject, and thought that the class of persons who saved
1501. were just the class of persons whom it was the
object of the Savings Banks' Act to benefit.
The gallery was then cleared for a division, but none
took place, the clauses having been negatived without a
division.
The Bill was then read a third time.

On the motion that the Bill do pass,
Mr. HAWES said he wished to know from the Right
Hon. Gentleman whether he would on a future occasion
cause an inquiry to be made into the expenses of

Lord CAMPBELL called the attention of their Lord-

passed.

IT MRS. ESTHER HILL, or PASKETT,
WIDOW of the Deceased WILLIAM PASKETT, will apply
or send her address to Mr. James Murray, No. 33, West George-
street, Glasgow, she will hear of something to her advantage. It is
believed that Mrs. Paskett and her husband resided for some time at
St. John's, New Brunswick, and afterwards removed to New York,
where they kept an inn or hotel. She was heard of there about eight
years ago, and any information with regard to her will be thankfully
received as above..

NEWS FROM MOROCCO.

M.-UISEILLES, JULY 29, 1844

The French steamer, La Ville de Paris, entered
this port at five o'clock, A.M. Captain Double,
orderly officer, attached to Marshal Soult, came as
passenger with dispatches from, General Bugeaud.
Marshal Bugeaud informs his Government that
he had received dispatches from the Emperor of
Morocco, to the effect that he had ordered the
Calipha who had attacked the French troops to
be put into chains, and to be placed at the dis-
posal of Marshal Bugeaud. The Marshal replied that
he should refuse receiving the prisoner until he had
received further instructions from his Government
and that, in the meantime, he should continue hos-
tilities against the Emperor. Marshal Bugeaud, on
the 22d current, had his head quarters at three leagues
from Ouchda, and was continuing to burn the villages
and destroy the crops on the Morocco territory. The
same day (22d) the Marshal sent dispatches of a
most pressing nature to the Prince de Joinville. The
French army is well provided with provisions, and in
high spirits. Captain Double quitted Oran on the
evening of the 22d.

CHINA.

RIOT AT CANTON.—On Monday last one of those riots
similar to those which, on one occasion (in December, 1842),
caused the destruction of three foreign hongs, occurred at
Canton, again caused by the disorderly conduct of some sea-
men, although we are happy to say that on this occasion it
was quelled without producing any such disastrous conse-
quences. It appears some Manilla seamen, belonging to a
Swedish ship -at anchor at Whampoa, had a quarrel with
the Chinese, who began to pelt them with stones, upon which
the Manilla men charged the mob, and it is said stabbed a
Chinese. The mob, however, after having been dispersed
in the first instance, soon returned, and threw stones
at the seamen in the Company's Garden, and the
latter had to take to their boats. As usual in
such cases, the mob then assembled in front of the
Factories in considerable numbers, and some apprehen-
sions were entertained that they might proceed to
violence, but a detachment of police and soldiers was sent by
the authorities from the city, and the mob was dispersed
soon after dark without having done any damage. Her Ma-
jesty's Consul had meanwhile, we understand, sent to Wham-
poa for assistance, and in consequence about 200 men from
the ship =ll%l in boats early next morning, at which time,

In the House of Lords a brief conversation, begun
by the -Marquis of CLANRICARDE, took place relative
to the proceedings at Otaheite. Lord ABERDEEN
said all these proceedings must have taken place with-
out'the slightest knowledge of the French Govern-
ment;, and he had reason to believe that the unfor-
tunate affair would be arranged without any serious
consequences. He believed that at the present mo-
ment Queen POMARE was restored to full power.
The Railways Bill went through Committee, and
was ordered to be read a third time this day.
The Poor-law Bill was read a second time, and
ordered to be committed on Monday.
The House adjourned at an early hour.
The Commons met at Twelve o'clock, when the
Savings Banks Bill was passed.
The House went into Committee on the Presby-
terian Marriages Bill, and all the clauses were
agreed to.
The Bishop of London's Estate Bill was read a
third time and passed. This is a very suspuous
/Aware, es will be seen from the Parliamentary
report.
Sir J. GRAHAM moved the order of the day for
going into Committee on the Charitable Bequests
Bill. The Bill went into Committee, when a

lengthened discussion and several divisions took place.
Clauses up to l 9 were agreed to, the House re-

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Only moderate supplies of English Wheat have been re-
ceived up to our market this week, yet the stands
were tolerably well filled with samples of that grail:.
Fine qualities mostly found buyers, at full prices ;
but the value of other kinds was barely supported.
In Foreign Wheat, upwards of 47,000 quarters of which
have been released this week, previous to the rise in
the duty to 18s per quarter, was a mere drug, and almost
nominal in value. Grinding Barley was is per quarter lower.
In other kir,ds no alteration occurred, notwithstanding the
large imports from abroad. In Malt next to nothing was
doing. The Oat trade was very dull, at a decline of 6d per
quarter. In other articles.no variation.

Although our marketwas rather extensively supplied
with Beasts, we have to report a steady demand for that de-
scription of stock, and in some instances an advance of 2d
per 81bs was obtained for the primest Scots, which were
quoted at 4s per 81bs. The fresh arrivals from Scotland com-
prised 200 Scots. For all kinds of Sheep, the numbers
of which were not large, the inquiry was active, at very full
prices. The supply of Lambs was large, owing to which the
sale for them ruled heavy, at barely Monday's quotations.
Calves, which were again plentiful, moved off freely, and the
rates had_an upward tendency. In Pigs, very little was doing.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.
On Wednesday, at Trentham, Staffordshire, the Marquis of
Lorn, son of the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, led to the altar
the youthful and lovely Lady Elizabeth Gower, eldest
daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland. The in-
teresting ceremony was performed by the venerable Arch-
bishop of York. There were present besides the Archbishop
the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, and the bride's brothers
and sisters—namely, Lady Caroline and Lady Constance
Gower, the Marqnis of Stafford and Lord Francis Gower ;
Lord and Lady Blantyre, Viscount Morpeth, Lady Mary
Howard, Lady Dover, Visconnt Clifden, the Hon. Miss Agar
Ellis, the Hon. William and Lady Caroline Lascelles and Miss
Lascelles, Lord and Lady Francis Egerton, Miss Harcourt,
Mr. Egerton Harcourt, the Dowager Countess of Cawdor,
Lord and Lady Arthur Lennox, the Hon. Miss Campbell,
the Hon. Mr. Campbell, Right Hon. Thomas Grenville, James
Loch, Esq. The Duke and Duchess of Argyll were prevented
from attending by the illness of their daughter.
The happy event called forth much joy and strong public
demonstrations in the neighbourhood, among all classes.
There was a large dinner to the tenants and friends at the
Trentham Inn, and another at Newcastle-under-Lyme, con-
sisting of the gentlemen and tradesmen of the town and
vicinity. Nor were the scholars of the public schools or the
poor forgotten ; all were liberally regaled. Long will the
day be remembered at Trentham.

CHINA.

RIOT AT CANTON.—On Monday last one of those riots
similar to those which, on one occasion (in December, 1842),
caused the destruction of three foreign hongs, occurred at
Canton, again caused by the disorderly conduct of some sea-
men, although we are happy to say that on this occasion it
was quelled without producing any such disastrous conse-
quences. It appears some Manilla seamen, belonging to a
Swedish ship at anchor at Whampoa, had a quarrel with
the Chinese, who began to pelt them with stones, upon which
the Manilla men charged the mob, and it is said stabbed a
Chinese. The mob, however, after having been dispersed
in the first instance. soon returned, and threw stones
at the seamen in the Company's Garden, and the
hitter had to take to their boats. As usual in
such cases, the mob then' assembled in front of the
Factories in considerable numbers, and some apprehen-
sions were entertained that they might proceed to
violence, but a detachment of police and soldiers was sent by
the authorities from the city, and the mob was dispersed
soon after dark without having done any damage. Her Ma-
jesty's Consul had meanwhile, we understand, sent to Wham-
poa for assistance, and in consequence about 200 men from
the ships arrived in boats early next morning, at which time,

THE AUCKLAND STEAMER AND LORD ELLEN-
BOROUGH.--The steamer Auckland will, we hear, leave
Bombay for Calcutta to-morrow or Thursday with the
view of conveying to Suez the late Governor-General,
and remain at Suez in the event of the New Governor-Ge-
neral arriving overland at that juncture. We have heard
on what we consider to be good authority, that direc-
tions were given to have the steamer in question in readi-
ness some days before the arrival here of the London
mail of the 6th of May; if so it is evident his Lordship
must have " smelt a rat," though in all probability it was
not expected to be so near. Under the circumstances of
the case we think some other vessel might have been
chosen for the sad office of conveying to Suez the ex-
Governer-General that the one enjoying the patronymic
—Auckland. We understand that one of the great guns
taken at Hyderabad is to be sent in the Auckland, to be
placed in some conspicuous place in Calcutta.—Bombay
Courier.

CRICKET.—COUNTIES or BERNS AND Buocs.—This
important match, which has created so much sensation in
the two counties mentioned, commenced this day (Thursday)
in the Brocas, Eton; the county of Bucks having on their
side Messrs. Hillyer, Pilch, and Drew, from the Marylebone
Club ; and Berks Messrs. Lillywhite, Dorrinton, and Martin-
gale,, also from Lord's. The assemblage throughout the day
was great, and the play, which -was unfortunately much in-
terrupted by frequent showers, commenced by Berks taking
the bat, the whole eleven being got down for thirty-one runs.
The odds were then three to one in favour of Buckingham-
shire, who commenced play with Hyde and Smith ; but the
same fatality befel this party, they having on the summing
of the score marked only forty-seven, when the wickets were
struck for the day. The game will be resumed at ten o'clock
to-morrow morning.
