FRENCH LANGUAGE,

The town settling for the St. Leger took place, or
rather commenced, yesterday, and, from the neglect of
several parties whose means, station, and disposition to
pay, are above suspicion, to attend either in person or by
deputy, and the absence of two or three others of whose
ability to meet their engagements strong doubts are en-
tertained, was a most unsatisfactory proceeding ; still,
the balances remaining unpaid, although large enough to
produce a good deal of inconvenience and angry feeling,
are trifling in comparison with former St. Legers, and,
with a few exceptions, are likely to be made good in the
course of the present or the following week. The betting
on the Cesarewitch, for which a large acceptance will be
declared this day, was confined to the Duke of Portland's
Souvenir filly at 10 to 1 (taken), and Sir G. Heathcote's
Campanero at 20 to 1 (taken) ; offers to take 15 to 1
about the Brewer. For the Derby, 18 to 1 was laid agst
Colonel Anson's hedger (the takers anxious to go on),
33 to 1 agst the Duke of Rutland's Minikin colt, 1,000
to 20 agst Mr. Watts's Myrrha colt, and 20 to 1 agst Sir
G. Heathcote's lot ; offers to take 35 to 1 each about
Lord Chesterfield's Twig and Mr. A. Johnstone's the
Rebecca colt, and 40 to 1 about Connaught Ranger,
Oaks-10 to 1 taken about Mr. Worthington's Lancashire

to be held at their House in Leadenhall-street, on WEDNESDAY, the

" That the Dispatch of Lord Auckland, of the 17th November,
1838, by which his Lordship rejected the proposed plan of the Bengal
Government, and recommended the annual money payment of
6,000 g. to the Temple of Juggernaut (to which recommendation the
Directors assented, by their Dispatch of June 2, 1840), be considered
by the Court of Proprietors on motion for abrogating such money pay-
ment, upon the ground of no original pledge or engagement having
ever been given for the same, by, or on behalf of, this Company, as
erroneously alleged by Lord Auckland in his Dispatch."

CHAMBERS'S JOURNAL.—No. 22 of the
New Series contains an article entitled " Persecution of New
Ideas," which the Editors deliberately print as an extract " From a
Private Pamphlet,"word for word it is taken from Dr. Dickenson's Fal-
lacies of the Faculty I—ln a subsequent Number (36) appears another
article headed " What to do in cases of accident—Moodletting."
Every argument adduced in that article against the operation in such
cases, is borrowed without acknowledgment from the same work.
The principal object of that work is the exposition of the periodicity
of all vital phenomena, which Dr. Dickenson claims as his discovery.
It forms the basis of the chronotheruial system of medicine, of which
he is the founder. Messrs. Chambers, to whom the Fallacies of the
Faculty was s ,bmitted two years ago, with a view to the publica-
tion of a People's Edition, know this—yet, in an article published In
their last Saturday's Journal (No. 3S), headed " Periodicity of Vital
Phenornetia," not only do they never name Dr. Dickenson, but abso-
lutely go out of their way to repeat an attempt of certain Medical
Journals to give the merit of his discovery to an obscure physician
of the name of Laycock, who impudently plagiarised it ! Ilow that
plagiarism was exposed, the facts and dates by which the discovery
was substantiated, Messrs. Chambers know as well as any man liv-
ing. The controversy is in the pages of the Medical Times, the edi-
tors of which emphatically declare that Dr. Dickenson long preceded
Dr. Laycock ; and they may also see it in the copy of the Fallacies of
the Faculty sent to them on the appearance of their extract
"Front a Private Pamphlet."

THE POOR SHIRTMAKERS OF
LIVERPOOL.

On Monday last a poor woman, who obtains a
scanty livelihood by making shirts for the largest
retail establishments in the town, and who appeared
to be in the most abject state of poverty, summoned
her employers to the Court of Requests fur the sum
of ten shillings, the amount of her bill for making
shirts. The proprietors of the establishment were
represented by a very pompous, genteelly-dressed
young man, who fills the important situation of
superintendent of the shirt department." In a
manner the most affected, he said the defendants dis-
puted the bill on the ground that the shirts were badly
made, and that they had to pay fourpence each
to another person to remake and alter them. " Con-
sidering," continued he, in the same pompous man-
ner, "the circumstances of life in which Mrs.

This paper allows a very remarkable decrease in an
important trade of export within the above period. It
appears that the total extort of this refined sugar
from the United Kingdom to all parts of the world,
was (in the year, ending January 31, 1842), 311,727
cwt., exclusive of 1,117 cwt. shipped as stores. Year
ending Jan. 5, 1843, 274,708 cwt. (and 8,868 cwt. as
stores). Year ending Jan. 5, 1844, 259,879 cwt.
(and 10,239 cwt. as stores). Half-year ending July
5, 1844, 112,242 cwt. (and 4,853 cwt. as stores).

REGISTRATION OF ELECTORS (IRELAND).
We cannot better illustrate the importance of these
returns than by giving at length the terms in which
they were severally moved far. They are-
1. A return of the total number of Parliamentary
electors appearing, by the lists or books of the clerks
of the peace, registered for each county, citiy, town,
and borough in Ireland, on the Ist day of I ebruary
in each of the following years, viz., 1835, 1837, and
1844 ; including in the return for 1844 those only
who had been registered subsequently to the Ist day
of February, 1836 ; distinguishing in separate columns
the numbers registered under different qualifications ;
and showing the increase or decrease exhibited by the
numbers as appearing registered on the Ist day of
February, 1844, compared with those appearing re-
gistered at each of the said previous periods.
2. A return of the electors for counties in Ireland
now entitled to vote, with the names of the baronies
from which each elector registers. Similar return of
the electors registered after the passing of the Irish
Reform Act.

3. Returns of the number of registered electors in
the counties, cities, and boroughs of Ireland, from the
Ist day of February, 1843, to the Ist day of February,
1844 ; also, of the total number of registered electors
for each county, city, and borough of Ireland, on the
Ist day of February, 1844.
It will be seen that the return to the order, on Sir
Robert Ferguson's motion, combines the most im-
portant particulars—namely, those connected with
the relative increase or decrease of registered voters
at given periods. Thus, the general abstract of the
total number of Parliamentary electors in Ireland re-
gistered at each of the abovementioned periods,
shows the increase and decrease thereof, Feb. 1, 1844,
compared with each of the previous periods.
We give the totals, for counties, cities, and counties
of towns, and boroughs (the aggregate returns for
each being separately stated in the Parliamentary
Paper itself) :

Registered from Feb. 1, 1836, to Feb. 1, 1844,

is placed, we would willingly hare forgiven
her the fourpence each shirt, but one of the
shirts had been completely spoiled, by the skirt being
put in wrsng, and we offered to pay her the amount,
deducting the price of two yards of linen, to supply
the part spoiled." The poor woman said she had of-
fered to make the shirt good if they would allow her
to have it. The overlooker of the shirt department
said, " Oh, it involves a very serious principle, and it
will never do, as we employ so many persons."
The shirt was brought into court, and handed up
to the Learned Commissioner, who, " with spectacles
on nose," minutely examined every part, to see if he
could discover any defect. After a long inspection the
Commissioner asked the overlooker what sum the
poor woman was paid for making each shirt, seeing
that they wished to deduct fourpence for the altera
tion ? The overlooker was silent upon this subject ;
but in the course of the examination it came out,
from some of the party, that the extraordinary sum of
two shillinps and eightpence per dozen was paid for
making plain shirts, or a fraction more than twopence
halfpenny per shirt! Whether the shirts in question
were plain or not did not transpire. The Learned
Commissioner, taking all things into consideration,
ordered that the poor half-starved creature should be
paid 7s. 6d. and her costs. The proprietors of the
extomivo octablithment have thus been compelled to
pay about the sum demanded, whilst the poor shri-
velled and worn-out shirtmaker was left minus 2s. 6d.
of her hard-earned wages.—Liverpool Mercury.

Ladies travelling, or temporarily subjected to any
deviation of equable temperature, will find in Rowland's
Kalydor a renovating and refreshing auxiliary, dispel-
ling the cloud of langour from the complexion, and
immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending
restored elasticity of the skin. The distressing and
unsightly varieties of cutaneous eruptions are also
promptly eradicated by the Kalydor. Spots, pimples,
freckles, discolourations, and sallowness, yield to ita
specific qualities, and are succeeded by a smoothness and
transparency of the skin, giving rise to sensations of the
utmost pleasure and surprise. Its universally great de-
mand excites the cupidity- of unprincipled shopkeepers,
who give the title of "Genuine" Kalydor to some com-
pounds of their own manufacture, of the most deleterious
character, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous
to the complexion, and by their repellant action endanger-
ing health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to
see that the words " Rowland's Kalydor" are on the
wrapper. All others are fraudulent counterfeits !11
LIFE !—CURE EXTRAORDINARY BY
HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—A respectable woman, aged 47,
named Graham, residing in Scotland-road, Liverpool,
was in the most critical and dangerous state for nine
months, being sometimes almost choked with phlegm,
with shortness of breath, palpitation of the heart, toge-
ther with a general derangement and debility of the
whole system. Her life was in the greatest danger
when she commenced the use of these miraculous pills,
which restored her to the highest state of health in five
weeks. They are the finest medicine in the world for
females of all ages. Sold (also Holloway's Ointment)
at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, strand
(where advice may be had gratis), and by almost all
respectable medicine vendors throughout the civilised
world.
SPEEDY PROMOTION.—Few officers (says the
Courrier Francais) have within the last fifty years had
so rapid a promotion as Marshal Bugeaud. In 1830 he
was a colonel of infantry ; on the 2d of April, 1831, he
was made a major-general ; on the 2d of August, 1836.
a lieutenant-general ; in 1840, Governor-General of
Algeria ; in 1843, Marshal of France ; and now, in
1844, is created Duke of Isly. He is also Grand Officer
of the Legion of Honour.

From various tables of the "Number and Qualifi-
cation of Parliamentary Electors registered on Feb. 1,
1835, and Feb. 1, 1837, for each county in Ireland,"
it results that the totals for all counties were as
follows, viz.:-
1835—0 f 50/. freeholders, 10,992 ; of 201. free-
holders, 6,968 ; of 20/. leaseholders, 1,035 ; of 101.
freeholders, 39,963; of 101. leaseholders, 4,507 ; of
rent-chargers, 724—grand total, 64,189.
1837—0 f 50/. freeholders, 13,198; of 201. free-
holders, 7,961 ; of 20/. leaseholders, 1,386 ; of 104
freeholders, 45,320 t-of 10/. leaseholders, 5,613 ; of
rent-chargers, I,oo3—grand total, 74,481.
From Feb. 1, 1836, to Feb. 1, 1844, there were
registered for all counties of Ireland, of 50/. free-
holders, 11,728 ; of 201. freeholders, 4,886; of 201.
leaseholders, .1,435 ; of 101. freeholders, 34,187 ; of
101. leaseholders, 4,612 ; of rent-chargers, 1,133—
grand total, 57,981.
The results of the next table are curious. It is
entitled, " An Abstract of the total number and quali
fication of Parliamentary Electors appearing re-
gistered for the several counties in Ireland, on the Ist
February in each of the following years, viz., 1835,
1837, and 1844 ; including in 1844 those only who
had been registered subsequently to Ist February,
1836 ; and showing the increase and decrease ex-
hibited by the numbers as appearing registered on the
lst February, 1844, compared with those appearing
registered at each of the said previous periods.'
The general sum of the figures here given (under
heads similar to the preceding ones) indicates that
there was an increase on Feb. 1, 1844, as compared
with Feb. 1, 1837, of only 179 registered votes
(i. e., 49 leaseholders of 201., and 130 rent-chargers),
whereas the total decrease on the Ist February, 1844,
as compared with the Ist February, 1837, was no less
than 16,679, i. e., 1,470 50/. freeholders, 3,075 20/.
freeholders, 11,133 10/. freeholders, 1,100 101. lease-
holders. _

The grand total of registered electors for cities and
counties of towns in Ireland, of all qualifications,
stood on Ist February, 1837, at 26,693 ; on Ist Fe-
bruary, 1835, it had been 20,286. Between Feb. 1,
1837, and Feb. 1, 1844, there was an increase of 101.
householders, 1,839 ; of rent-chargers, 2 ; of freemen,
1,632. In same interval the increase was, of 501. free-
holders, 25; of 20/. freeholders, 450; of 201. lease-
holders, 29 ; of 10/. freeholders, 130 ; of 10/. lease-
holders, 370 ; of 40s. freeholders, 1,025.
Registered electors for boroughs in Ireland, of all
qualifications, on Feb. 1, 1835, were 11,576 ; on Feb.
1, 1837, 15,355. Grand total registered between
Feb. 1, 1836, and Feb. 1, 1844, inclusive, 15,078.
Total decrease of electors registered between Feb. 1,
1837, and Feb. 1, 1844, 277.
By another table it is shown that the total number
of electors now entitled to vote for all the counties of
Ireland is 57,169 ; and that there have been registered
since passing of the Reform Act, 65,437.

ESCAPE FROM SLAVERY.-011 Thursday last, ar-
rived in Falmouth harbour the Lord Bruce brig, Captain
Poole, with a cargo of Sugar, from Pernambuco. A few
mornings after the Lord Bruce left Pernambuco, a very
fine Bongo black lad, about eighteen or twenty years of
age, made his appearance on deck, to the no small sur-
prise of the captain and crew of the Lord Bruce. He is
not able to speak a single word of English, but talks the
Portuguese language tolerably well, from which we
learn that he was a slave, and had been brought to the
Brazils, in a slaver, from a far distant country. It ap-
pears be, with many other slaves, had been sent off to
the Lord Bruce with barges of sugar, and again returned
on shore, and the night previous to the sailing of the
vessel, he stole a craft peculiar to the South Americans,
called a cantamaran, taking with Lim a tolerable stock of
provisions, and some very good clothes, and came on
board, and stowed himself away, unobserved, amongst
the cargo, and did not make his appearance until he knew
the vessel was so far at sea, that there was no chance of
his being sent back again ; thus effecting his escape from
slavery. The captain treated him with every possible
kindness, but as the poor fellow seems rather unfit for
the sea, he will be thrown on the parish of Falmouth,
until some means can be adopted to get him to provide
for himself.—Devonport Independent. -

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.

Yesterday a Commission de lunutico inquirendo was
opened at the Ship Inn, Waltham Abbey, before Mr.
Commissioner Winslow and sixteen special jurors, of
whom J. Colvin, Esq., was foreman, to inquire into
the state of mind of Herbert Mayo, Esq., aged 40, a
gentleman of fortune, of the county of Herts, and
son-in-law to J. Harman, Esq., of Theobald's Park,
Essex, described in the commission as of " Dr. Al-
len's Asylum, high Beach, Essex."
Mr. Birkbeck (son of the late Dr. Birkbeck) ap-
peared as Counsel in support of the Commission ; and
Mr. Cotton, solicitor, to watch the case on behalf of
the alleged lunatic.
The unfortunate gentleman, a fine-looking man,
but with a countenance exhibiting a sort of wildness,
was present during the inquiry, but took little inte-
rest in the proceedings.
It appeared from the statement of Counsel, and the
evidence of Dr. Allen and other witnesses, that Mr.
Mayo has a family of six children, and is entitled to
property amounting to about 3,0001. a year. He
had, previous to 1840, exhibited some flightiness, but
during that year, while residing at Oxford, symptoms
of aberration first manifested themselves. He then
lost a favourite dog which concerned him much,
and he appeared so overjoyed at its restoration
that he actually sat up two nights with the dog. In
1841, he lost a child, of whom the surgeon deemed
it necessary to have a post mortem examination, when
Mr. Mayo conducted himself very strangely, and was
present at and assisted in the post mortem examination.
On another occasion he got two of his children into a
room, shut them in, and alarmed them by brandish-
ing two cutlasses. He barricaded the door, to pre-
vent any person going in, by placing a chest of
drawers against it. The children screamed loudly,
upon which he threatened to kill them, and going to
the window flourished the cutlasses therefrom and
collected a mob in the streets below. The door was
at length forced open, when he cut at the persons who
attempted to enter with such violence, as to sever part
of the door post ; and when at last persons succeeded
in entering and rescuing the children, he leaped from
th• window into the street and sprained his ancle. In
1842, hearing his wife was coming to Oxford, al-
though he had previously been an affectionate hus-
band, he precipitately left and went to Cheshunt,
where he resided some time at a public-house, pur-
suing the same uproarious career, until it was at
length found necessary to remove him, under the
usual certificate, to the establishment of Dr. Allen, at
high Beach. Dr. Allen and other medical gentlemen
were of opinion that Mr. Mayo was decidedly of un-
sound mind, and incapable of managing himself or
his affairs.

The remarks made by M. Mayo, in reply to the
Commissioner's questions, were of such an incoherent
character as to satisfy the minds of the jury, and a
verdict was returned— That Mr. Herbert Mayo was
of unsound mind, and had been so from the 25th of
September, 1842."

DYING WITH THE REPUTATION OF WEALTH.—
Yesterday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the
Three Compasses, Little Marylebone-street, on the body
of Eliza Jerrold, aged eighty-four, who died suddenly at
her lodgings, 12, Chesterfield-street, last Friday. The
usual evidence as to deceased's death having been given,
several females rose, and, addressing the Coroner, stated
that she died wealthy, and each put in her claim to it,
from promises made and hopes held out by deceased.
One said that deceased told her that she should be her
residuary legatee ; another, that deceased made her pro-
mise that she should close her eyes and follow her to the
grave ; a third laid claim to deceased's property, in
consequence of the latter having washed and dressed her
when she was born ; and several others laid claims to
effects and chattels upon somewhat similar grounds.
Mr. Wakley, who was little prepared for this scene, es-
pecially as deceased's apartment betrayed anything but
the appearance of opulence, inquired if she had possessed
any property, when he was informed that she had been
a housekeeper to a respectable builder, who, in return
for her faithful services, bequeathed her an annuity of
531., and that she had been a woman of most frugal
habits. Mr. Wakley explained that his office was to in-
quire into the cause of death, and not the amount of
property. He added that it was most extraordinary
how many relatives and friends were found when property
was in question, while he scarcely ever knew one to
come forward when death took place in a workhouse.
A Voice—" But where is the box ?" Several Voices—
" Yes, yes, where is the tin box ?" Mr. Wakley—
What tin box ? First Voice—" In which she kept her
money." A Mr. Parrot said, "I have it ; she left all
her property to my wife three years ago." Another
Voice—" Here is her will" (holding up a piece of dirty
paper, scribbled over). Mr. Wakley (rising from his
seat, and endeavouring to make the Lest of his way from
among the contending legatees)—You must put the case
in the hands of the Queen's Remembrancer. The worthy
Coroner having given this advice left the several
claimants to settle the dispute among themselves, having
first directed the beadle how he should act.
SUICIDE IN A BROTHEL.—Yesterday, Mr. Baker,
jun., held an inquest at the Angel Inn, High-street,
Whitechapel, on the body of George Courtenay Bell,
aged forty-nine, a beer-shopkeeper, of the Globe-road,
Mile-end. It appeared in evidence that deceased left his
home on Wednesday morning last, to pay a bill of 51.,
which he did pay. Nothing more was heard of him
until eight o'clock on Thursday evening, when meeting
with a prostitute, named Sullivan, whom he knew, he
gave her his coat to pawn to enable him to raise money
to treat her with drink and accompany her home.
Having regaled themselves at a public-house, they re-
paired to a brothel in Angel-alley, and after some time
he dismissed her and went to bed by himself. Very early
next morning he asked of the servant of the house, as
she passed his bed-room door, what o'clock it was. He
received the required information, and the inmates
thought he rose and went away. About three o'clock on
Friday afternoon, the woman Sullivan returning for an
apron she had forgotten in the room, deceased was found
suspended by the neck from a partition dividing partly
the room, by means of a silk handkerchief. He was im-
mediately cut down, and Mr. Mears, a surgeon, called in
who said he had been dead several hours. It further
appeared that three years ago deceased burst a blood
vessel, and had been since of irregular habits, and some..
times apparently of unsound mind. He has left a wife
and eight children. Verdict, " That deceased destroyed
himself, but the state of his mind when he did so was not
proved to the jury."
FIRE AT A CHAPEL.—About noon yesterday the
Wesleyan Chapel in the City-road was discovered on
fire. The chapel is a large one, and is situate oppoSite
to the Bunhillr-ow burial-ground. The fire was caused
by an escape of gas from a pipe in a closet containing
the gas meter, beneath the gallery stairs. Though
several engines soon arrived, it was not found necessary
to use them, as the neighbours and firemen were able to
extinguish the flames without mechanical aid. The
damage done is trifling.
ATTEMPT TO ROB THE YOUNG.—We are glad to
perceive that the Town Council have had the good sense
to prevent " the Session and Deacons' Court" of the St.
Clement's Free Church from laying their unhallowed
hands on the playground of the parish school. They
want it to ornament their chapel, and truly it is much in
need of something to set it ; but they should have looked
to that before they put that ugly squat thing down in a
place where its hideousness cannot be concealed. In
these days, when the great object in all large towns is to
get crowded places opened up, and provide more liberally
for the out-door recreation of all ages, it is too bad to
find a set of men, for a paltry selfish purpose, attempting
to curtail the limited space devoted to the enjoyment of
the young. In this, as in many other instances, the
Non-Intrusion idea of freedom seems to be, the liberty
of making free, very improperly, with what belongs to
others.—Aberdeen Herald.
• LOWESTOFT, SEPT. 20.—We are happy to inform
our readers that arrangements have just been concluded
with a gentleman who is recently become a large landed
proprietor in this neighbourhood, for the purchase of the
Lowestoft Navigation, with the ultimate intention of
forming a railway from this town to the Reedham station
of the Yarmouth and Norwich line ; thereby setting
aside the opposition which the proprietors of that pro-
perty would in all probability have given the measure.
We sincerely trust that such a desirable project will be
met by the gentlemen and landed proprietors through
whose property it must pass in the spirit it deserves.
The advantages such a ready communication with the
metropolis and the midland counties will present to our
town and the fishing interest connected therewith, are
evident and incalculable, and cannot fail, we think, to
be appreciated and furthered in every possible way by
the inhabitants of Lowestoft.—Suffolk Chronicle.
HERRING FISHING.—This enterprise has been closed
at our port for the season, and the boats, none of which
have been off this week, are being hauled up, and with
the gear stowed away in places of safety.—North Sun-
derland.—Our fishing, the latter end of last week, was
good—the highest boat had twenty trans. This week,
up to Thursday, it has fallen off—highest boat twelve
trans. There is a ready demand for herrings at 14s. and
15s. per cran.—Berwick Advertiser.
SIR ROBERT AND LADY SALE.---The gallant.
General and his heroic lady are expected in Liverpool
next week, on their return from Ireland; and on Thurs-
day next our worthy chief magistrate will entertain the
distinguished officer at a grand dinner at the Town-hall,
a select party being invited to meet him on the occasion:
on the following day, the general and his lady, we be-
lieve, will be the guests of his worship at Elms-wood.
Invitations to the dinner on Thursday evening have al-
ready been forwarded to Lord Stanley, Earl Sefton, Lord
Francis Egerton, J. Wilson Patten, Esq., M.P., Edward
Mitchell, and Major Pottinger, of the 6th RT-giuient of
Foet, now in Chester, both of whom have 59nCd
Inlia with Sir Robert.—Liverpool Mercury.
