KERS produced in a few weeks by using an essential Spirit
drawn from choice Aromatic Herbs, the peculiar properties of
which are known only to the Inventor, and although perfectly inno-
cent in itself, will produce new Hair on bald places, caused by weak-
ness of constitution, or where Nature has not bestowed this orna-
ment of the human figure. It has been known to many of the Nobi-
lity and Gentry upwards of eleven years, some of whom the Inven-
tor most sincerely thanks for their attestation of its merits, in the
certainty of restoring Hair and giving it additional lustre and
strength. Its virtues are manifold—le prevents the Hair from fall-
ing off or turning gray; a few drops on the crown of the head will
remove the most distressing vain that part produced by or at-
tended with faintness ; and is acknowledg, d by the Faculty as the
only specific known to cure that disease of the head called Porigo
de calvans (which causes the Hair to come oft in patches) ; a few
applications removes dandruff. This wonderflil discovery is fully ex-
plained in a pamphlet containing 1-, i,,non;als to its regenerating
new Hair upon bald places, entitled. Throo 'linutes' Advice on the

This railway is designed to connect, by the shortest practicable
route, the port of Liverpool with Preston and other places to the
northward, and with Blackburn and other places to the eastward,
and to supply Manchester, Wigan, Bolton, Oldham, Stockport, and
other manufacturing districts in Lancashire, and the West Riding of
Yorkshire, the advantage of direct railway communication with
Southport and the west coast of Lancashire.
One portion of this railway will diverge from the present line of
the North Union Railway at or near Farrington, and by forming a
eornmantcation with the Blackburn and Preston Railway there, will
accommodate the traffic both of Preston and Blackburn, and the
places beyond. From Farrington it will proceed by Ormskirk, and
thence past Kirby (where it will form a junction with the Liver-
pool and Bury Railway), and terminate at the intended new sta-
tion of the Grand Junction Railway Company at Edge-hill, Liver-
pool, from whence there will be access to the north and south
docks, as- well as to the Lime-street station in that town. This
portion of the main line Will be twenty-four Miles in length, and
will bring Liverpool• within twenty-seven miles of Preston, and
thirty-three miles cf Blackburn. Another portion ef the under-
taking will consist of a trunk line from Southport, passing St. John's,
In the village of Barscough, near which it will intersect and form a
junction with the line from Farrington to Liverpool, and proceed
thence through the Douglas Valley to Wigan, where it will avail
itself of the North Union station in passing through the town, pro-
ceeding thence by Hindley, Atherton, Tyldeslay, Ellenbrook, and
Worsley, it will form a junction with the Liverpool and Manchester
Railway near Eccles, and with the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury
Railway in Pendleton.

By means of a junction with the Bolton and Leigh RILL way at
Atherton, the advantages of this line will be extended to the town of
Leigh. The length of this trunk will be about twenty-eight miles of
new line, bring,ng Southport within thirty-three miles of Manchester,
sixteen-and-a-half of Wigan, and twenty-six of Bolton, and reduc-
ing the time occupied in the journey between Southport and Man-
chester from four hours to little more than one, and between that
favourite watering-place and other manufacturing districts 14 like
proportion; at the same time substituting for a dilatory and expensive
means of transport, the dtspach and economy of a thorough railway
communication.

The line between Wigan and Manchester will pass through a popu-
lous district, possessing extensive manufactures ; and the coal-field
it will traverse and lay open to the manufacturing districts, as well
as to Liverpool, is second to none in this part of England in richness
and variety.

This railway will also afford increased facilities for conveying the
produce of the abundant agricultural district, lying between the
River Alt and the Douglas, to the manufacturing communities of
Lancashire and Yorkshire.

Notwithstanding the present uncertain, dilatory, and expensive
means of access to Stockport, the numbers resorting thither are very
great, and rapidly increasing, and it cannot be doubted that the faci-
lities and economy in time, as well as money, of a direct railway
communication, would give rise to an accession of traffic far exceed-
ing the ordinary ratio of estimated increase.
The benefits resulting from the construction of these lines will be
obtained at a comparatively small outlay. The country throughout
is easy, and of a level character, rendering the works light, and the
gradients highly favourable. There are no engineering difficulties,
and the advantage of terminal stations, and access to and through
the principal towns, are already provided by the establishments of
the Grand Junction, Manchester and Leeds, North Union, and Liver-
pool and Bury Companies, whose cordial co-operation is guaranteed
by the participation of those Companies in the capital, and conse-
quently in the success, of the undertaking.

*,,,* Little need be said to point out the merits and excellencies of
Cowper, with whose poetry all are familiar ; but what are the causes
that have contributed to the universal popularity of this admired
writer ? The answer is, that he is the poet of domestic life he
brings all the endearments of Home before us ; he is the poet of
Nature, which he describes in all its diversified aspects ; and he is
also the poet of Christianity, for no man contributed more to the re-
ViViil Of Protestant Christianity when it had sunk to the level of mere
morality. Nor ought we to omit noticing the genuine English feel-
ing Sad ardeht love of his country which So frequently burst forth in

I THE GRAND BALL at GUILDHALL

Often as the Guildhall of the City of London has been the
scene of festivities, and especially of balls for charitable pur-
poses, it was never more appropriately or more brilliantly
filled than on Wednesday evening, when a grand ball and
concert were given in aid of the funds of the ward schools.
If there be something of selfishness, there is also much of
common sense and of safety in the maxim that " charity
begins at home." Some of the entertainments of this kind
that have heretofore been given in the Guildhall, and under
the patronage of the Corporation, have been open to objec-
tion, on the ground that this very necessary and salutary rule
was forgotten, and that the claims of those who were at our
own doors were n4lected in favour of others, who, whatever
might be their misfortunes, had at least not an equal right
to preference. But the ball of last night gave rise to no
such complaints; on the contrary, if one might judge from
the gay, brilliant, and numerous assemblage of both sexes
who thronged the hall, it must have been " taken up" with
no ordinary spirit and favour. PerhapA there were not so
many of the nobility and gentry present as some of the most
sanguine supporters of the object of the entertainment might
have expected, but their absence was more than compensated
fur by the throngs of highly respectable citizens who, with
their families, mingled in the pastime of the evening. As
the natural patrons
,of the ward schools, on behalf of which
the ball was given, they were by far the most appropriate
visitors. The ball was announced as a " grand fancy and
dress ball," but there was more of the " dress" in the ordinary
sense of the term than of the "fancy." A few grotesque-
locking cavaliers and Greeks were here and there scattered
among the throng, and one or two attempts at costume, the
exact character of which it would perhaps have puzzled
even the wearers to describe; but by far the greater portion
of the company were in the ordinary evening dress. The
hall was brilliantly illuminated with gas, and an excellent
baud played all the usual dances, to which the fair visitors
and their partners footed it to their hearts' content on toe
more or less light and fantastic. The dancing was continued
till long past midnight. There was also a concert in which
Mrs. Alfred Shaw, Miss S. Novelle, Mr. Machin, and several
other vocalists, took part. It was under the direction of Mr.
Benedict, and went of admirably.
Among the company present (the numbers were estimated
at nearly 2,000) we observed the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs,
Lord Seaham, the Earl of Munster, Count Noailles, Count
Potoski, Captain de Bathe, Captain Seymour, Lord Dudley
Stuart, Sir Moses Montefiore, Aldermen Lucas, Fare-
brother, Hughes Hughes, Hooper, and Sir John Key, and
Admiral Ross.
Several very handsome donations to the schools were made
during the day and evening. Among them were, we under-
stand, 1001. from Messrs. Masterman, and 50/. from Messrs.
Rothschild. The donations during the evening were esti-
mated at upwards of 5001.

LOVE AND ATTEMPT TO MURDER..---011 Sunday
evening an attempt at murder was committed by a Young
man named John Harrod, on the person of Elizabeth Shillam,
a young woman to whom he had fur some time paid his
addresses ; the parties all reside in the neighbourhood
of Winchcomb, Harrod being a farm servant in the
employment of Mr. Smith, of Irley. On the evening in
•question Elizabeth Shillam was walking with two other
females in the neighbourhood of Winchcomb, they were met
by Harrod, who went up to her and said he had a few words
to say to her; the other females walked on, but they had
not proceeded many yards when they heard a scream and
cry of murder, and looking round they saw Harrod with
his arm round their companion's neck, who was struggling
with him, and still shrieking murder. On their running
back to the spot the felon made off; they found his in-
tended victim with her hands covered with blood, and
nearly black in the face from strangulation. It appeared
that on Harrod entering into conversation with her he
wished to renew the intimacy between them (which had
been broken off through some quarrel), and on her refusing
he Seized hold of her and endeavoured to strangle her by
twisting her bonnet strings round her neck; unable to
succeed in this, he opened a clasp knife and made several
attempt to stab her and cut her throat, but in this he was
fortunately prevented by a thick shawl which she wore tied
round her neck at the time; the shawl was cut through in
several places, and the skin of the neck slightly grazed, and
her hands were severely cut in endeavouring to ward off the
hlows. Information having been immediately forwarded to
Sergeant Coleman, one of the county police, that officer suc-
ceeded in capturing the offender, hid in a barn on his master's
farm, and he will be had before the Wind-womb bench of
magistrates for examination this day; the knife was found to
be a very formidable looking weapon, the blade five inches
long, and covered with blood.— Wilts Standard.
SHOCKING DEATH OF A BOY BY FIREWORKS.—
Oa Wednesday an inquest was held in the board-room of St.
Bartholomew's Hospital, before Mr. William Payne, as to
the death of Walter Good, aged 14 years. From the evidence
of several witnesses it appeared that on the night of Satur-
day, the Bth inst., he proceeded to a shop for the purpose of
buying fourpenny worth of fireworks, and whilst on the way
home he discharged a squib, and seeing a police constable he
placed the case of the squib in his pocket among other
squibs, and not knowing that it was alight it ignited the
whole of them. The policeman seeing the fire issuing from
his pockets and the bottom of his trousers, immediately ran
to him and pulled his clothing off. His shirt was in flames,
which were ultimately extinguished, but not before the de-
ceased was frightfully burned over the whole of his person.
He was conveyed to the above institution where he died
from the effects of the injuries on Tuesday last. The Coro-
ner having remarked on the case, the jury returned a verdict
of "Accidental Death."
ACCIDENT ON THE LEICESTER AND SWANNINGTON
RAILWAY.—LEICESTER, Nov. 18.—An accident of a most
serious nature occurred on this line yesterday, to George
Bott, a breaksman, in the employ of the Colliery Company.
The unfortunate man was coming from Swsuinington to
Leicester with a coal train, consisting of thirty-eight car-
riages, and having two engines and two " break wag-
gons" attached to it. Upon arriving at New Bridge-lane,
between Desford and Thalby, the breaks were put on and
the steam turned off, for the purpose of leaving a portion of
the train behind, when it is supposed that Bott gave the
handle of his break a sudden jerk, which caused it to break.
South, the other breaksman, happening to look back
at the time, saw Bott in the act of falling, and attempt-
ing to save himself by grasping at the carriage, but failing
in that he was thrown across the rails, whereupon Smith
called out to the engine-drivers, but was unable to make
them hear till the train bad proceeded half a mile, when he
(Smith) got down, and, with two others, went to the spot
where Bott was seen to fall; upon arriving there they found
the unfortunate man in a ditch adjoining the line. The
poor fellow was lifted on to the tender, and conveyed as
quickly as possible to the infirmary, where it was found that
his left shoulder was dislocated, his right leg nearly cut
through, whilst the leftileg had atransverse wound, extending
from the middle of his thigh to the calf of his leg, and it
was found necessary to amputate both limbs immediately.
The poor fellow bore a most excellent character, and had
tilled his late situation about a year and a half; he was only
22 years of age, and upon the point of marriage.
A CHARGE OF MUTINY AGAINST .4. PRIVATE IN
THE ROYAL MAEINE CORPS.—On Tuesday, the 18th in-
stant, a General Court-martial assembled in the officers'
mess-room, at the Royal Marine Barracks, at Chatham,
under a warrant, dated the 14th November, from the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty, for the trial of Charles
Wright, a private of the 25th company belonging to this
division. The Court consisted of the following officers :
Lieut.-Colonel W. Furgusson, Lieut.-Colonel Thos. Peebles,
Lieut.-Colonel Thos. Stevens, Brevet-*ajor James Whit-
comb, Captain Geo. Griffin, &c. The prisoner was escorted
into the court-martial room by a guard with fixed bayonets,
and on his taking his station the Deputy Judge Advocate
read over the following charges against him, viz. :-1. For
having, at the Royal Marine Barracks, at Chatham,
at or about the hour of eight o'clock in the even-
ing on the 9th day of November, 1845, behaved in
an insubordinate manner, by laying down his arms and
accoutrements, and saying that he would not soldier any
more, or words to that effect, such conduct being subversive
_of good order and military discipline. 2d Charge.—For
having, at the Royal Marine Barracks, Chatham, on or
about the morning of the 10th day of November, 1845, stated
to Colonel John Wright, K.H., the Commandant of the Chat-
ham Division of Royal Marines, when questioned as to his
conduct, as detailed in the lot charge, that he meant it, and
would stick to it, or words to that effect. 3d Charge.—For
having, at the Royal Marine Barracks, at Chatham, on or
about the morning of the 11th day of November, 1845, again
stated to the Commandant of the Chatham Division, Colonel
John Wright, K.H., when cautioned upon his conduct, as set
forth in the Ist and 2d charges, that he meant what he said,
or words to that effect. The prisoner was again taken to the
guard-room, and the decision of the Court will not be known
until confirmed by the Lords of the Admiralty.
NAVAL MOVEMENTS IN THE PACIFIC.—The Thalia
frigate, which has arrived at Portsmouth from the Pacific,
has brought accounts which seem to explain the naval move-
ments in that quarter, which had attracted some attention in
England, and partly to confirm, partly to negative the in-
ferences which had been drawn from them. We announced
in the month of May last, that, after some bustle of prepa-
ration, the American frigate, of 50 guns, and the Daphne
sloop of war had sailed with sealed orders to the northward,
and that they were supposed to have gone to the Columbia.
So far as the American was concerned, this conjecture ap-
pears to have been correct, as she has proceeded to that
quarter; but the Daphne returned to the southward,
and has been sent elsewhere. At a later period,
some interest was crrated b the announcement
that Admiral Seymour, in the tollingwood, of eighty
guns, with the Siodeste, sloop of war, had sailed with
sealed orders from Callao. It now appears that the first
object of his voyage was to meet the French admiralar
~s
Otaheite, for the purpose of settling Mr. Pifitcceh
claim for compensation ; but that,

thither. Adding to these their vessels in the Chinese sea,

and one schooner.—Manchester Guardian.

FRIG FITFUL ACCIDENT IN THE BLACKFRIARS-
ROAD.—OnWeduesday a distressing accident took place in the
Blackfriars-road, to a young man named James Watkins,
residing in Redcross-street, Southwark, which it is feared
will terminate fatally. He was on horseback, riding round
the corner of Charlotte-street at a rapid rate towards Black-
friars-bridge, and in consequence of turning too sharply, the
horse stumbled and threw the rider completely over his head
with such violence as tc cause his head and face to be se-
riously disfigured, and before the animal could be secured, it
struggled and fell upon the poor fellow. He called loudly
for assistance, and was ultimately extricated in a deplorable
state. He was conveyed to the accident ward of St. Thomas's
Hospital, where he lies in a very precarious state.
The challenge of Edward Hawks, to row Noulton,
of Lambeth, has not been accepted, on the terms proposed by
the former; but Noulton states that he will either give or
take 10/. for expenses, and row at Newcastle or on the
Thames; Tyne Mercury.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
Anti-RCIN-I1
have been neither an ungenerous nor an unimportant one, if
made a little earlier in the day. The modest proposal to
Messrs. Cobden and Bright is neither more nor less than that
they should turn Tories—not openly and impudently, as the
Times itself did at a memorable epoch, but only as it playa
Tory now—that is covertly, cautiously, with a sheep's cloth-
ing of Liberalism loosely hung over its shoulders, and with
the pretence of moderation. " Free trade," exclaims that
organ, which abetted the formation of a Ministry and a
Parliament of monopolists, " is gaining ground, but the
League is not." The League, it says, has risen and
orown by Liberal support, but the Liberals have done
or it all that they can do. The moderate Tories are
now anxious to come round to ideas of such truth and
power, which it is no longer possible to resist. The only
thing, the last scruple, which prevents these Tories from
making final sacrifice of their principles and prejudices, is
fear of the League. They have but little objection to give up
the corn-laws ; but they dread the League as " a Jacobin
club," " a sectarian cliqiie," and " a combination of Radi-
calism and Destructiveness." But if the League, which is
assumed to be " aware of its past errors," would only mend
them—would first of all abandon "the sectaries," and con-
form to Mother Church, a thing so requisite for dear-sighted.
ness in political economy--if the League " would disclaim
all party connexions and obligations," and allow Tories to
pass for free-traders, now that free trade has carried the day,
Just as they passed for Reformers when the Act of 1832 was
accomplished ;—if the League would only do this, it would
deserve well of the country and the Times, and Messrs. Cobden
and Bright might liot only be elected Members of the Con-
servative party, bet, like the great Hudson, be received as
guests at Tamworth. We must say, that notwithstanding
the grave impudence of such overtures, they are the
best of signs. It is evident that the battle is well nigh
won, the contest well nigh over, and that the more
knowing of the Tories are anxious to rat from the monopps
list camp, if the semblance of a flag of truce were held forth
to cover their desertion. Nor are we surprised to find that
the more knowing of the Tories consider the League as a
more important fact than even the corn-low itself, and that
they would be contented to waive the one, provided they
could win over or even neutralise the other. But the power
of the League is of Tory creation. The Tories sowed the
dragoon's teeth, and were fully warned of the seed which
they put into the earth, and of the crop to be expected from
it. Their defiance of reason and right gave birth to the great
principle of popular associations, whose power of achieving
rightful and rational purposes has been too fully tested to be
ever abandoned. One might as well hope to abolish steam
pressure at the present day as political associations. We
may henceforward set it down as a law of free countries, that
a great and universally felt grievance will infallibly give
rise to an association of the many, who feel it. to rid them-
selves of it by common effort. The most powerful argu-
ments, put forth in the ablest way, and circulated with
the greatest universality and speed, can be best furnished
by united funds and intellects; and the most efficient means
for influencing public feeling and legislative and administra-
tive opinions can be put in action in this way. Such ga-
therings of men cannot take place without raising master
spirits to take the lead; and thus classes, if wronged or op-
pressed, or strongly and universally movedl by ideas of ante-
licention, will find tribunes to represent theta. It is there-
ft).- a groundless fear and calumny that brands the Anti-
Corn-law League as Jacobin or Destructive, especially when
it is well-known how little the great class behind it is one or
the other. It is puerile to call it sectarian. What matters
religious opinion in the case of corn? Religious opinions
have leagues of their own. The dread of the League—put
forth by its enemies, even whilst they recommend a cession
of the great principle to carry which the League was formed
—merely implies a consciousness that there remain gross
abuses which are calculated to excite associations to get rid
of them, but which the Ultras are still determined to defend.

However, the wheedling proffers made to the chiefs of the
League being accompanied with no trifling abuse of them,
shows how little the writer trusts in the effect of his elo-
quence. But neither Sir Robert Peel nor the Times, how-
ever they may turn free-traders, and abandon monopoly in
the eleventh hour, can persuade men with memories for the
events of even a few years back, that the Tories are friends to
the fair influence and development of the middle classes,
whom they have striven so long to shear and to oppress, no
more than they can persuade men of plain sense that they
are friends of tolerance, because they at last reluctantly ac-
quiesced, when the fetters of religion in both countries were
struck off in despite of their long and stubborn resistance.
TIMES.—It is a curious and unforeseen consequence of the
institutions of the United States and of the state of parties
in that country, that the destinies of the republic and its
pacific relations with the rest of the world are placed within
the almost absolute control of a man of whose character and
abilities as a statesman scarcely anything can with certainty
be known. The rival candidates for the highest office in the
state at the last election were driven from the field or de-
feated by having acquired too much celebrity and given too
many pledges. Mr. Polk was brought forward, in the most
imposing obscurity, as the nominee of the predominant party
in the Union ; and the result of the election revealed the
astonishing fact that the country was delivered over for the
next four years to a man who had acquired his power not by
individual merit or exertions, but as the mere symbol of an ir-

responsible faction. For purposes of mischief, and for what-
ever may flatter the whims or passions of the people, such
a man enjoys the greatest imaginable degree of political
power. If Mr. Polk be disposed to plunge the United States
into war, such a measure would not be more difficult to him,
in the present state of feeling in that country, than it would
be to the Autocrat of all the Russias. Whatever betide, the
President of the United States is certain of holding office for
three years and a half from the present time ; and, notwith-
standing the extreme reserve which has marked the first six
months of his official career, we are much mistaken if he do
not prove himself in the end a worthy successor of those de-
mocratic statesmen, and especially of General Jackson, whose
intemperate character and unscrupulous policy have already
so profoundly infected and modified the spirit of the American
people. In a word, the personal disposition of Mr. Polk
is at this juncture of such importance that the question
of peace or war may be decided by it ; and, we are
constrained to add, that all we know of that per-
sonal disposition, and all we learn from America,
tend to strengthen our suspicions rather than our confidence.
It remains to be seen how far the people of the United States
and the present Cabinet of Washington are advanced on this
fatal track. We do not believe that they are so wicked and
absurd as to desire a war, but we suspect that they are not
strenuously and sincerely labouring to avert it ; and we have
no doubt that upon the opening of the next session of Con-
gress one party at least will do all that it can to embroil the
present very delicate foreign relations of the Union. With
regard to the Oregon territory, the Americans seem now to
be convinced that we are not to be bullied out of that part of

her— Majesty's dominions ; and they fall back on the
expedient of gaining time in order to promote that
species, of emigration which ends like the occupation of
the nests of other birds by the cuckoo. But, as we
have repeatedly observed, the present position of the
question renders this indefinite postponement impossible.
The two states cannot allow their relations to be kept in jeo-
pardy by the uncertainty of tenure, and the probability of a
collision on the banks of the Columbia. The treaty of 1790

recognised the principle of a joint right, and of joint occu-
pancy. The English Government and an English company
availed themselves of that right, and resorted to the coast for
the purposes of the fur trade. The Spaniards allowed their
co-existing right to remain dormant, and until the current of
emigration from the United States began to penetrate of
late years to the falls of the Willamet, the existence of this
boundary question was only known to the diplomatists who
had been engaged from time to time in discussing the provi-
sional arrangement. At the present time England adheres
to the principle of the treaty of 1790, that neither party has
an exclusive claim to the country; but she declares her re-
solution to resist any exclusive claim hostile to her own
concurrent rights, and she urges the American Go-
vernment to commute those concurrent and now
conflicting claims to the whole country into an
undisputed title to a moiety of the territory. Virtually the
American Government has recognised the existence of this

concurrent right by offering to divide the district by the 49
degrees parallel of latitude. That proposal reduced the ques-
tion from one of right to one of expediency and amount.
Yet, although there are so many just causes of mistrust in
the present aspect of this transaction, a statesman of large
mind and patriotic views might discern in the present condi-
tion of England and of the United States powerful means of
cementing the good understanding and the pacific interests of
the two countries. On both sides there are most important
commercial changes or concessions to be made. If
Mr. Polk be anxious to conciliate the states of the west,
their interests would be infinitely more promoted by open-
ing a channel for the exportation of their great article
of agricultural produce—lndian corn—to Great Bri-
tain, than by the annexation of countless acres on the shores
of the Pacific ; and if the commercial policy of England is
steadily to advance in the direction which has of late years
been g►ven to it, the reduction of the American tariff will in-
fallibly lead to the modification of our restrictive duties on
American produce. On the one hand England has to offer to
the United States all the advantages of a commerce propor-
tioned to the rapid growth of two great and cognate nations,
and extending itself under the beneficent influence of peace
and freedom ; on the other hand, if the most distant and un-
peopled tract of the British empire be assailed by force or
fraud—if a just right be invaded—if a British subject be
wronged, England has an arm to resist and to redress the
injury, and she has the firm, unanimous resolution, of her
statesmen and people to hold her own.

MEETING OF LAW WRITERS.—The law stationers
and writers, without whom little or nothing can be done in
the preliminary Parliamentary affairs, fearing a vital injury
is likely to accrue from the introduction, by some respectable
friends, of printed and lithographic documents, as a substi-
tute for those which have ever been considered as necessary
to be the performance of the penman, called a meeting,
which was last evening numerously and respectably attended,
at the Ship Tavern, Chichester-rents, Lincoln's Inn. Mr.
Gardner, law stationer, of Took 's-court, Chancery-lane, was
unanimously called to the chair ; and various resolutions
were proposed and unanimously agreed to 7 the purport of
which was, that a memorial be presented to the Lord Chan-
cellor,nf gonro et

That all parties should withhold their assistance in the
drawing of the notices from the printed or lithographic
books of reference, and that the secretary of the Law Sta-
tioners' Society should be requested to attend the next
meeting. Messrs. Marston, MCartney, Charles, Edwards,
Hayes, and other law stationers and writers, having ad-
dressed the meeting, a business and finance committee was
appointed, and the company separated, with a firm determi-
nation to unite and persevere for the attainment of their
mutual rights and privileges.
EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE IN THE MERSEY.—As
the steamer Nun was proeeeding from the George's pierhead
to Woodside, about seven o'clock on Saturday night, one of
the passengers, who was standing near a group of gentlemen
near the helm, suddenly sprang to the side of the vessel,
vaulted over the bulwarks, and was instantly carried down
with the tide. The act is described by the gentlemen to have
been the work of an instant, and wilfully committed. The
captain, who was upon the paddle-box at the time, had the
engines immediately stopped, and ordered the punt to be
put out. The order was quickly obeyed, and the punt was
rowed about for a considerable length of time to see if the
unfortunate man could be found in any direction; but there
was not the slightest appearance of him from the moment
that he had plunged into the water. It is supposed that he
sank even before the engines were stopped. The body has
not since been found, nor is it likely to be until it floats, as
the melancholy occurrence took place about 500 yards out-
side the floating stage, and in a very deep part of the river.
Many reports have been circulated as to who the deceased
is, and as to what was the cause of his committing the rash
act ; but we have been unable to trace them to any accurate
source. Some said he was a collector of taxes, who had been
deficient in his accounts ; others that he was a railway share-
holder who had lost considerably by recent speculations ; but,
upon inquiring in the proper quarter last night, we learned
that his name and address were as yet unknown. The gen-
tlemen in the boat say, that he never spoke a word during
the time he was on board, and that he did not appear to be
in the slightest degree intoxicated. He wore a dark frock coat,
and light-coloured trousers. In lumping over the side of the
vessel ke knocked off the hat of a passenger.
