speedily followed by the disappearance of every species of eruptive
malady, discolouration, &c., and the establishment of a pure surface

the tint of beauty, whilst as a refresher it preserves the most delicate
complexion, and sustains to a protracted period the softness of texture
and vivacity peculiar to earlier years.

Sin,—Sir R. Peel, in the late debate, seemed to
triumph in the " fact" that sugar was cheaper in the
year 1843 than the previous &lir years. Madhe
cause to do so ? I think not. Our population has
daily become larger--the supply of sugar, according
to his own statement, is increased to a most trifling
extent—yet the price of sugar is considerably. dimi-
nished. This is a state of things which a Minister of
the present day ought not to boast of: for, if it proved
anything, it proved the progressive inability of the
people of this country to buy the same quantity which
they individually had done in the preceding years,
and hence the lowness of price; and we may trace
that inability to buy, to the long-continued high price
of the first necessary of life—Bread.

DUBLIN', MARCH the weekly meeting of the Repeal
Association yesterday, in the Conciliat►on-hall, the Secretary
read the following letter from Mr. O'Connell, which was in-
serted on the minutes :

" London, March 9, 1844.

" My dear Ray,—Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm of
the reception I received at Birmingham. It would be impos-
sible for any person who was not present to form an adequate
idea of it. This delights me. It consolidates the combina-
tion of all genuine Reformers in both countries. We have
everybody with us in England, except the minions of a.sor-
did aristocracy on the one hand, and the dishonest portion of
the Chartists on the other; for I do assure you that there are
some honest men amongst the Chartists—not many to be
sure, but still some. It is melancholy, however, to thmk how
much mischief to the cause of Reform the Chartists can still
effect. Though not numerous they are active, and continue
wherever they can, to tyrannise over public meetings. But
more than enough of these men.
" The middle classes of society, however, are almost all
sincerely attached to the principle of justice to Ireland. There
is a better spirit amongst them than—Heaven forgive me—l
thought did exist. They feel that the questions involved in
the late prosecutions are most interesting to the friends of
political improvement in this country, as well as in Ireland.
If the Government can convert into a criminal conspiracy
the attempts made in the open day to procurepolitical rights,
there is an end in England of all future reform or redress.
But that which appears to me chiefly and most powerfully to
attract English sympathy, is the great question of the purity
of trial by jury. if that be trampled upon, there is no fur-
ther security for life, property, or character. This is what
rouses English indignation, and gives to Ireland the most
cheering prospect of support.
" I hope to find, however, that we can be grateful, per-
fectly grateful, without involving one single particle of our
fidelity to the cause of Irish regeneration, and without re-
laxing in our peaceable struggle for that which will be equally
beneficial to England as to Ireland—the restoration of our
Domestic Legislature. There is one thing certain—that even
if others forsook Ireland—her cause, her Legislative inde-
pendence, will never be forsaken by, yours sincerely,
" To M. Ray, Esq. " DANIEL O'CONNELL."

SIRIOUS ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday afternoon a
serious gig accident occurred in Deptford Broadway. It ap-
pears that a gentleman from London had left a horse and
gig standing in the Broadway unattended, about four o'clock
in the afternoon, when from some unseen cause the animal
darted off at a furious rate towards Greenwich. Just before
it reached Deptford-bridge, the animal took to the pave-
ment, running up against several shop windows, and at
length dashing against and smashing in the whole of the
double-front shop of Mr. Matthews, straw-bonnet ware-
house, and thence against a lamp-post, by which the gig was
nearly shattered to pieces, and the animal pursued its im-
petuous course into the Greenwich-road, where it fell on the
pavement, near the White Swan, and was severely wounded
in the flank. Notwithstanding the time of the day, and
although the horse kept the footpath for more than a quarter
of a mile, only one persou was hurt, and that not senously.
The only baulk in the run was at Mr. Jutsum's, the Red
Lion, in tha Greenwich-road, where the brewers were Mak-

ing ready to lower some beer. The animal there took a fly-
ing leap over three beer butts, and fortunately missed the
men. The gentleman to whom the horse belonged gave his
name privately to the parties complaining, and undertook to
defray all expenses.
RAILWAY EXTENSIONS.—The popular feeling in
favour of new railways appears to be on the increase, not-
withstanding the immense number of Bills for new railways
already before Parliament. The city of Lincoln appears to
be a point of especial favour. No less than seven different
railways are contemplated to start in one direction or an-
other from that point ; and, if only a portion of these lines
are made, Lincoln will suddenly start into a place of vast
importance. One of the most importont of these projected
lines of railway is an extension by the Eastern Counties
Railway Company of the Cambridge Railway, from Ely to
Lincoln ; and the surveys for this line are now actually being
made by Mr. R. Stephenson, with the view, it is understood,
of immediately taking measures for obtaining an Act in the
next session of Parliament. This line, when carried out, will
undoubtedly effect a vast alteration in the present traffic from
the north to the metropolis, as it will be the direct line for a
large portion of the northern traffic.
EXTRAORDINARY LONGEVITY.—We some time ago
mentioned the fact of a female, an idiot, residing in Strath-
glass, having reached the extraordinary age of upwards of a
century. This human link between the past and present has
within the last few days yielded to the stroke of death. One
old neighbour, aged 96, and several who have reached 90
years, remember "Fronagal gorach," or " Foolish Flora," as a
grown-up woman when they were children, and estimate
her age at 120 years at least. She retained her conscious-
ness to the last, and was aware of her approaching dissolu-
tion. For many years she migrated through the country,
obtaining a pittance by carding the wool belonging to the
country people whom she visited. During the last ten years,
she has been supported by the assistance and sympathy of
her neighbours; and after her case became known to Lord
and Lady_Lovat, Foolish Florah wanted none of the neca-
series of life.—lnverness Herald.
LADY BROUGHAM'S SOIREE.—Last night her Lady-
ship had a reception at the residence of the Noble and
Learned Lord, in Grafton-street. There were present--the
Duke of Devonshire, Duke of Leeds, Duke of' Buccleuch,

BRIBERY BY LORD DTJNGANNON'S AGENTS, AT
DURHAM.—Our readers are already aware, that, subsequent
to the election of Lord Dungannon for the city of Durham
in April last, after the time for petitioning against his re-
turn would have expired, according to the old law, his Lord-
ship's agents, Mr. George Wilkinson and Mr. John Ward,
solicitors, of Durham, paid head-money, on the Bth May, to
a great number of the freemen who had voted for his Lord-
ship. On this being discovered, a petition was presented,
under Lord John Russell's Act (which declares head-money
paid after an election to be bribery), and Lord Dungannon
was unseated on the 14th July. At the recent Durham As-
sizes, being the earliest at which the indictments could be
prepared, and the evidence collected, separate Bills for bri -
bery against Mr. Ward and Mr. Wilkinson were pieferred
before the grand jury, who found these bills on Wednesday.
last. We understand that each indictment contains alle-
gations of three seperate acts. The defendants immediately
surrendered, and gave bail to take their trial at the next
Durham (summer) Assizes.—Manchester Guardian.
The Bishop of London has announced that after
January, 1845, he will not admit any Graduate of the Uni-
versity of Cambridge as a -candidate for Holy Orders, who
has not passed the voluntary theological examination.
Collections will be made in every Church and
Chapel in the diocese of London, on the first Sunday after
Trinity, in aid of the Metropolis Churches Fund.
We are happy in being able to state upon authority
that there is no foundation for the rumours that have been
lately circulated of the intended resignation of the Lord
Chancellor, and of the appointment of the Lord Chincellor
of Ireland as his Lordship's; successor.— Times.
A GHOST STORY.--A report is becoming very pre-
valent in Stamford, that since the death of an old lady, who
resided with some relatives in Broad-street, a variety of
noises are nightly heard, such as the banging of doors, and
knockings on the partitions, &c. We hear the occupiers are
becoming very much alarmed about the matter, and that
arrangements have been made for a party to sit up in the
house for the purpose of watching. Amongst the young
folks and gossips in the town, this circumstance has given
rise to many conjectures and long faces. The credulous say
that the old lady having made apse will, is returning to ad-
just it.—Boston Herald.
DEATH FROM FRlGHT.—Yesterday an inquest was
held by Mr. Baker, at the King's Arms, King-street, St.
George's-in-the-East, on the body of Elizabeth Connor, the
same Coroner having held an inquest upon the body of her
husband the day before. It appeared that while attending
her husband at the London Hospital some time ago, a lunatic
patient broke from his keepers, and ran wildly about the
wards of the institution for a considerable period before he
could be again secured. In the course of his flight he en-
countered the deceased, and so great was her terror and alarm
that she at once took to her bed and gradually declined
till Monday last, when she died. There being no doubt that
the fright ceased her death, the jury returned a verdict to
that effect.
CONVICTS FOR VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.—The Lon-
don hired convict-ship, at present moored off the Dockyard,
Woolwich, has already on board 244 convicts from the /dill-
bank Penitentiary, the Model Prison, Pentonville, and from
several country gaols, and is expected to take out in all about
300 of that unfortunate class, who will be guarded by de-
tachments of the 58th and 80th Regiments. One of the
men of the latter corps has become so ill that he was taken
on shore yesterday forenoon and placed in the hospital.
Amongst the convict-prisoners on board the London is the
well-known character in Plumstead and Woolwich named
John Bodle, who was found guilty at the last Central
Criminal Court sessions, and sentenced to twenty years'
transportation, for endeavouring to extort money from Lord
Abingdon's butler, under a threat, if he did not comply with
his demands, of charging him with an.unnatural crime. Since •
the prisoner's conviction for this offence. bas.;confessed
having poisoned his grandfather, although he was tried at
Maidstone on that charge, but acquitted. Several of his re-
lations applied yesterday at the Woolwich Dockyard for per-
mission to visit the prisoner previous to his leaving the
country for the long period named in his sentence.
BALLOONING.—The Journal des Debals states that
a curious experiment is about to be made on air balloons,
which is likely to excite the curiosity of the public. A bal-
loon composed of copper is so far completed that it is now ex-
hibited to the public. This immense globe is 'formed of
sheets of copper, united and soldered. The object proposed
by this experiment is to resolve the problem of the employ-
ment of metals in the construction of balloons. It is ex-
pected by this experiment to advance the question of aerial
navigation. When it shall have been ascertained that solid
metallic envelopes may be subitituted for light silk, it is
considered it will be a step towards the application of loco-
motives in the shape of balloons.
