QILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive

less ALBATA PLATE. C. WATSON (late ALDER-
MAN), Nos. 41 and 42, BARBICAN, and No. 16, NOR,
TON FOLG ATE, aided by a person of science in the amalga-
mation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
chemical process, by which all that is nauseous in mixed metals is
entirely extracted—resist.ng all acids, may be cleaned as Silver,
and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-
board.

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal
i 3 peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from
Gold, than his metal is from all others ; the Public will there-
fore hare no difficulty in discovering the animus which directs
the virulent attacks made against him, by a party who is daily
suffering from the unparalleled success which has marked the
progress of His New Plate since its introduction. C. W.,
unlike this party, courts comparison, feeling confident that the
result will establish its pre-eminence.

COLLIS' LADIES' BREAST OINTMENT.
This Ointment is now confidently recommended to the
public as an infallible remedy for all diseases of the Breast,
occasioned by Cold, or the Milk coring in the Breast. It is
a certain cure for Whitlows, Ahcess, Scalds, Burns, Bad Legs,
and all cutaneous diseases; and in consequence of the now
great demand for the Ointment, the Proprietor is induced to
lay it before the public—not as a cure for " all the ills that
flesh is heir to," but in cases as above mentioned it is with the
greatest confidence recommended to the public.

QIMCO'S ESSENCE OF- LINSEED is an in-
kJ valuable remedy. Price Is. iid. and 2s. 9d. per
Bottle.

Front time immemor:al Linseed has been proverbial for its
virtues in the cure of Coughs and Colds; but previous
discovery of the present Chemical Essence, it was merelyto the
used
in the form of tea, and its benefit comparatively limited. This
Essence contains all the medicinal properties of Linseed in a
highly concentrated form, combined with other medicinals and
herbs, producing the most certain and efficacious remedy for
Coughs which has yet been discovered.
Children's Coughs, as recent ones in Adults, will be re-
moved by a few doses of Simco'a Essence of Linseed (frequently
by the first) ; old standing Chronic Coughs may require per-
severance, but they ultimately yield to its curative powers.
Asthmatic persons, who previously had not been able to lie
down in bed, have received the utmost benefit, and others suf-
fering from Influenza have been speedily cured by this valuable
medicine.

THE CHINESE SILVER.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR—The denomination " guinea was first given
to the gold piece to commemorate the capture of the
precious metal on the coast of Guinea, of which it was
composed. As we are now fully anticipating the
ratification of a commercial treaty between this country
and China, allow me to suggest that part of the silver
which is expected to arrive from China be set apart
in order to coin a piece of money of a new denomina-
tion, to be first issued to the public on the day when
the ratification shall be published in the Gazette, in
order more particularly to mark and commemorate
(of which there would be six pieces to the money

ROTECT THE
CORN:LAFWAtuptit
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SH;,—ln defiance of the long-winded articles in
favour of a free trade in corn without a protecting
duty, I demand such a protection as will enable me to
receive the average value of an acre of corn, whether
I have a large crop or a small one. I will illustrate
my meaning thus : suppose I have a piece of land, on
which the average growth is three bushels of wheat,
and the average price is 6s. Bd. per bushel, I expect
my crop shall
shouldproduce
be
such 2 a blight as to reduce my
os' ; so if I have but two
bushels i
n one year, I must have 10s. per bushel ;
and i f
produce to only one bushel, is it not reasonable for
me to expect the consumer to pay the whole 20s. for
thereit ? It must be so, Sir, or I shall not be able to pay
my landlord his rent. If you possess that impar-
tiality which you profess, you will publish this ; then
the ignorant Cotton Lords will know why the land•
lords and corn-tgrowers demand a protective duty.—l
am, Sir, yours; &c. A CORN-GROWER.

There is now to be seen at low water, in the
present channel of the Lune, opposite Nantbucks, the
hull of a Dutch,brig, which was wrecked in a violent
storm on this coast upwards of sixty years ago.
Rumour states her cargo to consist principally of
iron, and it is. said that
or
will be shortly made

have already been made, and someof her timbers
brought away, which, on being sawn through, appear
to be as sound as when her keel was first laid.—

THE SCOTTISH MARTYRS
OF 1793.

On Saturday the Marylebone Vestry assembled at
the Court House, Marylebone-lane, for the purpose
of making choice of one Out of three designs, selected
by the Committee for erection in the Regent-circus,
to the memory of the Scotch Reformers of 1793-4—
viz., Muir, Palmer, Sk Irving, Gerald, and Margarot.
Mr. E. Joseph having been appointed to the chair, the
three designs selected by the Committee were brought
and laid before the vestry. Mr. Wilson said, before
any of these designs were accepted by the vestry, he
begged to state, as a member of the Committee, that
he was much disappointed at the course which had
been pursued in preventing competition, upon which
subject he begged to present to the vestry a memorial
which had been entrusted to him for that purpose. The
vestry-clerk having read the memorial, which was signed
by the whole of the artists who had stilt in designs-to
the Committee, with the exception of the successful one,
a discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr. Hume,
M.P., said he had never intimated to the vestry that
the erection of the monument would be open to corn-
petition.—(Cries of " Oh, oh.") What he said was,
that until the site for the monument was decided on,
it would be useless for the Committee to have the
designs before them, and that when the site was de-
cided on, he (Mr. Hume) would submit three for the
choice of the vestry. The Committee had the designs
of nine different artists laid before them, but none of
them were suitable, the spot selected in the Regent's-
circus not being adequate to afford for the base a space
of more than seven feet for a monument of not less
than from thirty to forty feet high. It was also
deemed advisable to have the monument as—fihiTh as
possible, in order to protect it from wilful or acci-
dental injury from the public. 'The design No. 1
was such an one as that required. It was a square
column, such as were to be seen in Rome, but he (Mr.
Hume) believed there was no other of the description
in England. The base was intended to be made of
granite, and the rest of Portland stone. He begged
to assure the vestry that it had gone forth by
some mistake that there should be competition. Mr.
Gomm said upon the very face of the resolution it would
appear that there was no mistake, and that the erec-
tion of the column was to be subjected to fair, free,
awl open competition. It was as follows :—" That
the Scotch and English monumental Committee, as-
sisted by Messrs. Hume, Rennie, and Donaldson,
select three most appropriate designs for choice of the
Vestry.' Now, he did not see upon the face of that
resolution how it could be a mistake to suppose there
would be competition. The motion for the admission
of the memorialists was put, and lost by a large majo-
rity. Mr. Glasier then moved that design No. 1(a
plain square pillar, the scale being about 40 feet in
height, with a cap of a Roman pilaster, surmounted by
an urn), be adopted by the vestry. Mr. llerbert
seconded the motion ; on which Mr. J. Wilson moved
and Mr. Worledge seconded an amendment, to the
effect that the design of one of the memorialists (Mr.
Turrintg) be brought in and examined. After some
discussion, the amendment was put and negatived, and'
design No. 1 adopted by the Vestry, with seven or
eight dissentients; and the Committee appointed to
assist Mr. Hume in superintending the erection. The
vestry then separated.

NATIONAL BOARD OF EDUCATION.

DUBLIN, DEC. 17.—The usual half-yearly exami-
nation of the masters in training at the National
Board of Education, was held on Thursday last. In-
cluding the schoolmistresses, there were about ninety
teachers assembled. The Lord Lieutenant having
signified his intention of being present at this interest-
ing exhibition, arrived about two o'clock, accompanied
by the Countess de Grey. Their Excellencies first
inspected the model schools, which were attended by
several hundreds of children. After hearing some of
the children examined in different branches of in-
struction, they proceeded to the Lecture-room, where
the teachers had been previously assembled. The
platform was crowded with visitors of various religious
denominations, amongst whom we recognised several
clergymen of e Established Church and the Presby-
terian body. The teachers were examined in the
usual branches by the professors, and by Mr. Skilling,
the superintendent of the model farm in connection
with the Board. Their Excellencies appeared to take
a deep interest in the proceedings, and frequently
selected the teachers and subjects for examination.
Mr. Blake presented each of the teachers of his
communion with a copy of the Douay Testament, and
of Bossuet's Exposition.
The Rev. Doctor HENRY then addressed the Pres-
byterian teachers, in the course of his speech he re-
marked : I beg- it distinctly to be understood that the
numerous and influential body with which I have the
honour to be connected, are now fully aware by expe-
riment—the best of all tests—that receiving aid for
their Schools through our National Board, does not,
in the slightest degree, infringe on that inherent ve-
neration which our Church has-ever felt for Scrip-
ture education. In common with the Church of
Scotland, they hold is to be your right, and that of
your pupils, to read their Bible freely ; and, whilst
they do not regard themselves to be justified in with-
holding secular education from those who demur to
this view, they are satisfied that, in receiving aid from
us on this ground of non-compulsion—a ground which,
at all times, they advocated—they are left in the full
and unshackled possession of their invaluable scrip-
tural privileges. Spread as far as possible around you
the social comforts of order, peaceableness and regu-
larity—making it apparent that religion is practical
influential in every department in life. Where you
can apply. that knowledge of agriculture which you
have acquired here, I would beg you to avail your-
selves of every proper opportunity of doing so. You
may assist materially in ,drawing out the still latent
resources of this great country.
His Grace the Archbishop of Demist having re-
turned during the delivery of the Rev. Dr. Henry's
speech, then addressed the teachers. He expressed
his cordial approbation of what the Rev. Dr. Henry
had said respecting the sacred volume ; but he fplt it
his duty to remind those whom he was now address-
ing, that God's best gifts may be made an ill use of.
It was, no doubt, a precious privilege to have the
Bible, and the power of reading it; °but was it not
melancholy to reflect that by some it was so shame-
fully abused. There are men who talk of it, who
have it perpetually ou their lips ; who glory in it,
and yet display a character quite opposite to the
spirit of charity and forbearance which it inculcates.
Lamenting that this most unchristian spirit should be
so prevalent in the present day, when scriptural edu-
cation is so eagerly defended, he would exhort the
instructors of youth before him to have the Bible, not
merely in their hands or mouths, but in their hearts.
The Commissioners of Education, said his Grace
most emphatically, do not teach more than
they practise; for many years they have
been defamed and reviled; they have been
falsely accused of den Ting to those willing to
receive them those very Scriptures which all present
.have now in their hands ; but they have endured all
with firmness, patience, and gentleness, not " weary-
ing in well doing," but confident that, "in due
season, they shall reap their reward." I have been, in
particular, as you are ho doubt aware, said his Grace,
assailed in the most furious manner. I have been
singled out as an object for every calumny and ob-
loquy, yet I have never been intimidated, and never
provoked; and by the blessing of God, I never will.
In a small sphere, and in a less degree, the teachers
connected with this establishment may expect to be
attacked in a similar manner. It is for them to re-
ply by conduct, not words—not talking or bantering
of the Scriptures, but seeking in them for lessons of
peaceableness and perseverance—of firm and gentle
patience-Land showing the fruit of their study in the
life they lead and the instruction given,
Alexander Mecdonnell, Esq., resident Commissioner
gave each of the teachers two valuable books on
science and'agriculture.
Shortly after their Excellencies and the audience
retired, evidently very much pleased with the impor-
tant proceedings of the day.
Dr. Daly is to be the new Bishop of Cashel and
Waterford. It is stated that Dr. Maude, Dean of
Clogher, is to get the Deanery of St. Patrick, and
that the Rev. Mr. Balfour, nephew of Lady De Grey,
is to be Dean of Clogher. There is also a rumour
that Archdeacon Packenhatn, brother-in-law of the
Duke of Wellington, is to be Dean of St. Patrick's.

We (Register) regret to find that the spirit of
agrarian outrage, which has so fearfully exhibited
itself in the county of Tipperary, is extending to the
King's County. We have receivel the following
from a Birr correspondent :
" Birr, Dec. 14y 1841', .
"I regret to inform you that an account of .a .;.
murder has just reached me, as usual of an itgrxiift
character. The victim, in this instance, was a maid
of the name of Young, and the locality Killion. It
is stated that he took some land, from which the
formei tenant had been ejected by Mr. Cassidy. His
daughter, who threw herself on Mil, with the view

of protecting him, received severe, if not fatal in-
juries. Should any further particulars transpire in
reference to this unfortunate affair, I will infprm you
of it. Since writing the preceding lines lam happy
to inform you that Surgeon Short, of Kennitty, went
to see- Yottng, and he is of opinion that the wounds,
which were inflicted with a bayonet, will not prove
fatal. The unfortunate young woman is rather
seriously injured. The attack was made at the early
hour off six o'clock yesterday evening."
In lost night's Gazette a reward of 801. is offered
by Government fur the apprehension of an armed
party, consisting of six persons, who are stated to
have been concerned in the above outrage.
