THIS IS Mr ELDEST DAUGHTER. SIR.

BY T. 11. 1.1.% VIA', ESQ.
This is my eldest daughter, sir,
tier mother's only care ;
You praise her face—oh ! sir, she is
As good as she is fair !
My angel Jane is clever too,
Accomplishment I've taught her ;
I II introduce you to her, sir,—
This is my eldest daughtet!
I've sought the aid of ornament,
Bejewelling her curls ;
I've tried her beauty unadornA.
Simplicity and pearls!
I've set her off, to get her off.
Till fallen off I've thought her ;
Yet I've softly breath'd to all the beaux--
" This is my eldest daughter :"
I've tried all styles of hairdressing,

Madonnas, frizzes, crops ;
Her waist I've laced, her bnk I've br.icca,

Till circulation stops
I've padded her mail I have
Into a Venus wrought her,
But puffing her Iris no effect—
This is my eldest daughter !
Her gowns are a !a Ackerman,
Her corsets a la Bell ;
Yet when the season ends, each beau

Still leaves his T. T. C.
I patronize each d4rune,
Each party on the water,
Yet still she hangs upon my arm—
This is my eldest daughter!
She did refuse a getrleman—
( I own it was absurd)
She thought she ought to answer " No!"
Hi took her at her word !
But she'd say " Yes," if any one
That's eligible sought her—
She realty is a charming girl,
Though she's my eldest daughter !

LITERATURE AND SCIENCE.

11. BONPLAND.

We regret that we could not sooner make room
for the following notice of this eminent naturalist.
The following is a copy of a letter published in the
Luce ro of the 29th of March.

" St Borja, 22d February, 1831.

" My dear surd old frlend,—Conviticed of the lively interest
that you have always taken iu my fate, I hasten to inform
you of my departure from Pataguay. After 20 months dc-
lay at [tapas, where I formed and left &second agricultural
establishment, I at last set out for the Parana, by superiororder
on the 24 of February. The Bth found me at the banks of
this river, and on the 15. h I arrived at San Borja. The bearer
of this is Senhor Araujo, a Portuguese merchant, whom I
knc win itapua. I entreat you to render him every service.
~licoeld an opportunity offer. The excessive rise in the waters
tl,is river has not permitted me to transport all my
baggage. As aeon us this is accomplished, I shall proceed
to visit the towns of the Missions, on the left of the
I 'ruguay ; after which i shall go to Corientes, where I
I ope to find all that I left there, especially my books,
which are extremely necessary to me in consequence of me
less I have sustained of many works in the first months of
my arrival at l'araguay. From Corientes I shall return,
probably, to San Borja, to arrange my affairs and after.
wards shall journey to Buenos Ayres, where I have so
much desire and so much necessity tc arrive. In order to
put an end to the melancholy suppositions which you and all
toy friends must naturally have made relative to my
existence during the vine years of my detention in Para-
g ray, I must tell you, that I have passed as happy a life as
could be expected by one &privet! of all communication with
his country, his family, and his friends. The practice of
medicine has always afforded me the means of subsistence ;
tut as this did not entirely occupy my time, I employed my.
self, from disposition and necessity, in agriculture, which has
given me infinite enjoyments. At the same time I had esta-
blished a manufacture of brandy and liqueurs, and likewisea
ezrpenter's and blacksmith's shop, which not only defrayed
the expenses of my agricultural establishment, but yielded
some vofits from the work perforra.d for private indivi.
totals. In this manner i had acquired the means of living
with the greatest comfort. On the 12th of May, 1829, with-
et t any preliminary. the authorities of Santiago communi-
cated to me the order of the Supreme Director to leave the
country. This intimation was a mixture of justice and
wrong, which i cannot yet account for in a positive manner.
In short, driven about frem 12th of May, 1829, to 24 of
• February, 1031—that is, during '2O months and 20 days—l
at length passed the Parana with ell the honours of war.—
This second epoch of my life in Paraguay has been real pu-
nishment to me. 1 had never given any one cause of com.l
plaint—l had endeavoured to gain the esteem of all. Even
the Supreme Dictator, from my arrival in the Republic until
the 12th of flay. 1829, had allowed ire the greatest liberty.
and the heads of the department in wIA.:11 I was domicilia.ed
treated me with kindress. At last, as every thing has an
et 11, the director definitively decreed my derarrute from Pa.
raguay, and has done it in the most generous manner. I
am at liberty, and soon hope to embrace you.
•• Please to give a thousand remembrances to all my
friends who recollect me, as I have no time to write to them.
Daring my detention. I had not forgot any one ; and with.
nut geographical maps, I have still travelled a great deal.
ing nine successive years I have not once spoken French;
1 therefore hope you will excuse the defects and faults in
this letter. Adieu, my dear Al. 'tomtit.; I am Impatient
to see you, and I am going to conclude, as fast as possible,
the trifling affairs which detain me here. Your fellow.coun.
trynran and sincere friend,
" AIME BONPLAND.
" To M. Dominique Roguin."

Lord Dover, who, under the Dame of the Hon.
George Agar Ellis, was well known in the literary ,
world, as the author of the popular history of " the
Iron Mask," of " the Historical Inquiries respect- •
ing the character of Lord Clarendon," and as edi-
tor and author of some other publications—among
which may he mentioned " The Ellis Correspon-
dence"—Las just completed a ‘• Life of Frederick
the Great, King of Prussia."
M t N ER's L.t M p.—The principal objection to Sir
11. Davy's safety lamp is the feeble light which
it gives, in consequence of the dame, which is not
large, being inclosed by a cage of wire gauze ; and
this defect is greatly increased, when, as often hap-
pens, the miner is at work in air mixed with so
much ;titian:m:lWe gas or cailionic acid, or a mix-
ture of both, as to occasion the lamp to burn with
a pale s i oky dame. The explosion which, in such
circumstances, would probably take place, is, it is
true, prevented by this admirable invention ; but
any means by which the light of the lamp could
be increased, or at least rendered more arni.able to
the miner, without impairing its safety, worth,
greatly add to its utility. Each miner has, or
ought to have, his own lamp, of which the only
part of the light that is directly useful to him is
that which falls on the spot where he is working ;
it is obvious, therefore, that if a reflector were
placed behind the flame, much of the light that
otherwise would be lost may be thrown to the pre-
cise part where it is wanted. The reflector em-

ployed by Mr. Roberts is of no regular curve, but
approaches to that of the concavity of about a third
part of a cylinder ; it may be made of copper sil-
vered or tinned, or of planished tin-plate, which is
not only the cheapest, but, on the whole, the
best material, as being far less liable than sil-
ver to tarnish by the contact of sulphureous vapor.
Mr. Roberts, who is a practical coal-worker,
states the following circumstances, as signs of the
presence of inflammable air in a coal-mine :
1. When the flame of the candle or lamp has a
blne top, the length of such blue top being an in-
dication of the proportion of inflammable air, and
therefore of the hazard. This blue top is some-
times two and a half inches long; and when an
eNplusion is imminent, it begins to dance at the top
of the proper flame of the candle.
2. Sign 3 of the presence of carbonic acid gas are
when the candle burns dull and finally becomes
e:;iinct, previous to which the flame becomes
smoky, is somewhat enlarged, and the least agita-
tion of the air will put it out.
3. Signs of the presence of a mixture of both
the above mentioned gases are, when the flame has
a long broad bushy top, sometimes six inches high;
the flame is then, in Staffordshire, said to be fire-
fangled. In these circumstances no explosion takes
place; but if the proportion of carbonic acid in-
creases, the flame goes out.
OBSERVATIONS ON THE INFLUENCE OF COLD
ON NEW-BORN CHILDREN.-Dr. Trevisan has
been making researches in Italy, principally at
Castel Franco, analogous to those of Messrs.'Vil-
leria and Milne Edwards, in France. The con-
clusions at which he arrives are—ln Italy of 100
infants born in December, January, and February,
66 die in the first month, 15 more in the course of
the year, and 19 survive ; of 100 born in spring,
48 survive the first year : of 100 horn in summer,
b 3 survive the first year ; of 100 born in autumn,
58 survive the same period. Ile attributes this
mortality of infants solely to the practice of ex-
posing them to the cold air a few days after their
birth, for the purpose of having them baptized at
the church. Dr. Trevisan, as well as MM. Milne
Edwards and Villernte, calls the attention of the
ecclesiastical authority to measures suited to put a
stop to such disasters, without violating the pre-
cepts or practices of religiou.—Lit. Gazette.

HOUSE OF LORDS--Mortnav, Joey 4.
AIRS. TVRTON'a DIVORCE BILL.
This bill having been revived on petition, like others
which were in progress when the late Parliament was dis-
solved, Mr. G•3IBIER appeared at the bar to-day on behalf
of Mrs. Turton. Since the case was last before the house
Mr. Adam, who conducted it for the petitioner, had been
appointed Accountant-General in the Court of Chancery ;
and as Mr. Gambier was not present at any period when the
evidence was given, nor fully acquainted with the observa-
tions made by some of the Peers in the course of that inves-
tigation, he necessarily travelled over the same ground as
his learned predecessor. The following contains the points
which were now submitted to their Lerdahips, rather than a
full statement of what transpired.
Mr. GAMBIER commenced with observing that he under.
stood seme of their Lordships had made some remarks OB
account of their being no Counsel to oppose the bill on be.
half of Mr. Turton. The present was not, he apprehended,
a case in which any suspicion of connivance could reason-
ably be entertained. The Learned Counsel then proceeded
at some length to detail the facts, which have already ap-
peared in our reason!, of this case. He next adverted to a
difficulty which presented itself, arising out of Mrs.
Turton's conduct in not making her father, General
Browne, acquainted with the unhappy circumstances which
now embit.ered that family. General Browne had been un.
avoidably called as a witness in this extremely painful cue.
' He had been called to prove the guilt of one daughter, the
misery of another, and the untimely end of a third. Had Miss
Julia Browne, who was the sister and confident of Mrs.Turtar,
been living, ~be would have been able to prove most important
facts. She was acquainted with the fatal secret of her sister's
guilt, from the fine part of the unhappy connection, and she
also knew the injured feelings of the other sister, and could
have given most important evidence; Cut she had sunk into
an early grave. This source of Information was for ever
dried up; she coeld not now inform their Lordships of the
wretched state in which Mrs. Turton was, on first discover-
ing her husband and sister's guilt. He was free to confess
that Mrs. Tinton, by continuing to live with her husband
after his unhappy connection with her sister, must be taken
as a proof that she had forgiven the offence. But he begged
their Lordsaips to 'consider how widely different were the
circumstances attending condonation as they affected a hus-
band and a wife. It' a husband under such circumstances
appealed to the Legislature for relief, he would inevitably
fail. An act of condonation on the part of a man was a
stain upon his character ; but on the part of a woman, it was
praiseworthy. He submitted that the same forgiveness
which debarred a man front relief, and cast an imputation
on his character, was in a woman the highest ornament she
could possess, and bespoke those gentle and, ler nevolent feel-
ings so characteristie of her sex. The Ecclesiastical Courts
hail nitrate maintained there were a great difference between
condonation on the part of a husband and a wife; and in
support of this tiew the Learned Gentleman cited the
opinions of Lord Sowell, Sir William Scott, and Sir John
Niche), as given in Dr. liageart's reports of Ecclesiasti-
cal cases. General Browne, continued the Learned Coun-
sel, had proved ttatt the pardon which Mrs. Tur.
ton bestowed was under the impression that a separa.
tam for ever of the guilty patties was to take plate. Mr.
Tuner, as their Loruship h had been informed, was a gentle.
n:en of accomplished manners, and great information, and
thus calcuared to make a powerful impression on a female.
He was a barrister, and, in the year 1822, resolved to go
out to India, to practice his profession. alre. Turton had
made up her mind to accompany him, believing that the
guilty connection between her sister and husband had for
ever ceased.
The Loan CHANCELLOR here said that the learned gentle-
tleman in his address, was proceeding as though it was
partly an opening, and partly a summing up, by comment-
ing upon the evidence. He had no right to bum up cer.
tainly. The noble and learned lord here inquired whether
there was any additional evidence to be given ?
Yr. GAMBIER said that two witnesses were in attend.
ance, but they did not carry the case farther, with respect to
the adultery, than had been already proved.
The Lome CHANCELLOR said that when the case was
last before the House he understood that some servants were
to be called, who would. speak to the manner in which the
parties lived in India. With respect to condonation, that
dectrine applied very differently with respect to a husband
and a wife. But it' Mr. Gambier proceeded to comment
upon the evidence now, be could not avail himself of that
privilege hereafter.
Mr. GAMBIER said it would not be necessary for him to
trouble their Lordships with any future observations, in the
shape of maiming up the evidence, after his present ad-
dress.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said thee, when the evidence
was before given at the bar, lie had thrown out this intima-
tion, that Alm Turtcn ought to have gone or applied to her
fataer for protection, when she learnt the unfortunate con-
nection subsisted. The answer given on that occasion was,
that the lather was an old man, and very much out of health,
and that so painful a communication might have cost
him his life. But, upon his examining General Browne,
he found that the General was in good health at the time,
and besides that he was a Stout mail. The obvious course
that Mrs. Turton ought to have taken was, to go to her
father, however painful it might be, and diselese the unfor-
tunate facts of the case.
Mr. GAMBIER perfectly understood the difficulty which
was now submitted ; but he prayed their lordships to look
into all ;he circumstances of the case. Mrs. Turton had
acted with tenderness towards her sister and her father; her
desire being to spare an exposure which would lead to the
shame and degradation of that guilty sister, and to spare the
wretched suffering which her father would of necessity have
to endure. Site had nut the slightest suspicion that I.er un-
happy sister was to be her companion out to India; and
from the short period which intervened between Miss Ade-
laide Browne's arrival at Andover, and the departure of the
vessel, no opportunity occurred to make any communication
to her friends. alr. 'Purim) bad taken his measures so well,

that he had, as it were, cut oft all opportunity of his wife
making her father acquainted with what had transpired.—
What was the probability of the case ? Did their Lord-
ships suppose that a husband who had acted so iniquitously
would leave any thing undone to secure his object ? Would
he expose himself to the boiling resentment of an injured
father, or a brother-in-law ? General Browne, in the pur-
suit of his lost &tighter, who absconded from Bath to join
Nr. Turton, was mined by false intelligence. The parties
could not be found at Plymouth, they had retreated to an
obscure spot in the Isle of Wight, and were taken up off
that island. __ _ _

...... ---
The LORD Cluarcm.r.ort— Had Mrs. Turton then no
maid servant attending her ?
Mr. GAMBIIER—She had certainly, my lord.
The LORD CrwrcELLoa—Then she might have in-
structed her to put a letter into the post for her family. In
England, husbands do not make their wives prisoners in that
way. You are assuming that Mr. Turton used coercion,
and no evidence has been given to that affect.
Mr. tiestniEn said that Mrs. Turton was not certainly
under eotrcion, but every inducement and threats were re-
sorted to, with a vit w of preventing her from communicating
with her family. This was clearly shown by Gen. Browne,
who, from Mrs. Turton's representation, had told their lord-
ships that Mr. Turton went down on his knees to induce
her to let the unhappy girl (Miss A. Browne) go out to
India with her." lie (Mr. Gambier) was quite sure that
their lordships would not for a moment believe that she con-
sented with a view to her sister becoming the paramour of
her husband. Gen. Browne had told their lordships that
Mr. Turton had broken faith with hie wife.

The Loan CHANCIILLORHOIV is it proved, Mr. Gam-
bier, that Mr. Turton went down on his knees to his wife,
to induce her to consent to her sister going out to India?
Mr. Gamma said it appeared in the statement of Oen.
Browne, communicated by Mrs. Turton.
The LORD CHANCELLOR remarked, that this Ira% not
evidence.

Mr. GAMBIRR said the question he humbly submitted
would be, (strictly speaking, that statement not being evi-
dence,) whether Mrs. Turton's acquiescence was not ob.
twined in the way he had related ? It was not a willing ac-
quiescence, but on the contrary. He would ask their Lord.
ships to try it by the test of probability and nature. He
would ask in the first place whether it was natural that a'
woman would consent to the incestuous intercourse of her
husband and sister ? And if it was not natural so to act, be
would in the next place ask whether such a course was con.
sistent with probability ? Would their lordships believe
that a lady warmly attached to her husband, and feelingly
alive to the honour of her family, could so disgrace herself ?
Let Mrs. Turton's conduct be examined when she was about
proceeding to India, before the elopement of her sister. She
set out on a distant voyage without going to see anyone mem-
ber of her family, in order that the separation between her
husband and sister, which had taken place might be final.
The LORD CHANCELT.OII Paid that Mrs. Turton arrived
is India in March, and did not take s passage back until
Noviimber following. This circumstance required an ex-
planation.
Mr. GAMDIES thought he should have no difficulty in
satisfying the House upon that point. He contended that
Mrs. Turton's conduct was most exemplary throughout.
Before Miss A. Browne quitted England, Mrs. Turton was
influenced by a representation of a supposed or real preg-
nancy on the part of her sister, whose shame and disgrace
she was so anxious to conceal. But Mrs. Turton had re-
solved, before she left England, after the acquiescence which
she gave for her sister to go in the same ship, to return, and
never live with her husband again. This was her fixed de-
termination, and nothing but circuit stances which she had
no means of foreseeing prevented her from quitting India
with that view sooner than shedid. This was the represen-
tation made, and shown to he the fact ; and when in India she
applied to the medical gentleman who attended Miss A.
Browne. to persuade Mr. T. to send hack her sister. This fact
Dr. Russel had proved. The evidence was, " that she
urged it as strongly and positively, giving every reason
which a wire could urge under such circumstances." But
it had been objected that Mrs. Turton did not sooner quit
India. The vessel in which she reached Calcutta only ar-
rived there in March; and Mr. Petrie had proved that in
April, May, and June, there were but few ships coming to
this country. After commenting on the evidence given in
relation to this part of the case, the Learned Gentleman
concluded with submitting that Mrs. Turton was entitled to
the relkf she sought, and he read the letter containing the
powerful and feeling language describing the state of mind
she was in, " without a friend with whom to advise,"
when she consented to allow her sister to proceed to India
with her.

The LORD CHANCELLoit inquired what was the nature
of the evidence to be given, in addition to that which was
printed ?
Mr. GAMBLER said that the witnesses he was about to '
call would speak to the act of adultery.
Lord Wysrroup asked whether any of the servants who
were in India were in attendance ?
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the act of adultery
had been already sufficiently proved.
Mr. GAMBIER. regretted that no witness from India, in
addition to those examined, would be produced.
The LORD CRANCELLOR.—Did Mrs. Turton coma to
England without a maidservant?
Mr. GAMBIER—I understand, my Lord, that she did,
but that she was in the company of other ladies. The maid.
servant that went out with her, your Lordships already
know from a previous examination, remained in India.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—If there be any witnesses
from India produceable, it is the duty of this House to see
that they are not kept back.
Lord Wirxrous—ls there any body here who can speak
to the terms on which Mr. and Mrs. Turton and her sister
lived when in India ?
Mr. GAMBIER—We have no other evidence on that point
than what Dr. Russel and Mr. Petrie, both of whom were
on habits of intimacy with the patties, have given.
A servant girl, who lived with Mr. Turton in town, in
the year 1829, was now called. Site proved that Mr.
Turton was residing with a lady in the Regent's.park,
who went by the name of Miss Browne, and that there
were three children in the house with them. They lived in
the sante house, but had different sleeping apartments.—
Miss Browne, witness said, managed the domestic affairs
of the family.
A servant man was naxt called, hut his evidence was of
no importance, the fact of adultery (as already intimated by
the Lord Chancellor) having been sufficiently established.
The LORD CMANCELLon, after a variety of observations,
as to the necessity of strict investigation into every case
' which was presented at that bar, lest there should be con-
' nivance between the parties, and after some remarks as to
hlrs. Turton's conduct in not at once making General
Brewne acquainted with the painful particulars of her bus.
band and sister's misconduct, recommended their Lordships
' to let the cue stand over for some time, in order to obtain,
if possible, further evidence relating to what transpired in
r India.

Tuesday a numerous assemblage of amateurs of the noble
game of cricket took place on Cold Harbour Lawn, Ems.
worth, to witness the decision of a match by two elevens,
selected from the neighbourhood; one party beinA marshalled
by T. Hipkin, Esq. the other by Mr. W. Wicher. The
weather proved propitious, and the many scientific displays
that occurred in the progress of the game, rendered it tho-
roughly interesting, and this was enhanced by the many bets
made at its various stages; the Hipkin party being the fa-
vourites from the commencement, but losing the catch of
the best bat on their opponents' side, when only two runs
were made, (which were afterwards augmented to 41),
was a blow they never could recover. Although a glimmer
of hope was entertained by them at their good beginning of
the last innings, it was extinguished by the umpire's
dictum, at the north wicket, in respect to a min out, and
which created some dissatisfaction. Mr. Wicher and his
friends bore away the laurels.
The new line of road from Shoreham to Lancing is in a
very forward state, and will, apparently, be ready for traffic
some time before the bridge is completed. It appears to
be formed pretty generally of gravel and shingle which
abound on the sides of the road. The whole of the land
through which the cut extends has, no doubt, been reclaimed
from the sea ; even on the higher grouud near Lancing,
where the excavations have been necessarily deeper, shingle
i is discernible at a few incl-es from the surface.

S:veral cases of sickness have oceurted, in ibis town,

caused by persons eating freely of new potatoes. The
smaller ones, particularly, being unripe, should, if eaten at
all, be taken sparingly.
On Monday, the wind being favourable foe the convey-
arm of sound, the report of the guns fired at Portsmouth to
commemorate His Majesty's secession to the throne, was
distinctly heard on the Chain Pier, a distance of not less
than 40 miles.
DlVlNG—Considerable curiosity was excited some days
since, by an announcement that Mr. Dean was to descend
from the Venus steam-packet to the bottom of a part of the
river. The descent took place on Tuesday, from a boat
moored off Sheerness dock-yard, in about 20 feet water, on
board of which was the necessary apparatus, and to which
was affixed a ladder of sufficient length to reach the bottom.
Mr. Dean being equipped with a dress for the occasion, had
a hood, in shape much like a helmet, which had several
pieces of glass fixed in it for him tosee his way, and fastened
round the body ; a tube at the back part communicated
with the apparatus in the boat, which supplied him with
air. There were two bags of ballast fixed for the purpose
of sinking him. Evcry thing being ready, the descent
down the ladder into the river took place. Much anxiety
was evinced by many for the safety of the party ; but, from
the cool manner in which he proceeded, it was evident he
was no stranger to such Hips ; his progress under water was
easily traced by the agitated state of the surface ; he must
helm walked many yards distance about the boat in different
directions. After remaining under water 25 minutes, he
ascended the ladder apparently as little affected as if he had
only been walking on land. He was received with cheers
by the company on board the Venus and Albion ; the latter
vessel having anchored for the purpose of witnessing this
extraordinary feat. Mr. Dean has a patent for his invention.
The following notice appears in this paper :
Frances Delbridge, otherwise Dulbridge, who has been
advertised, for some years past, in the Slot and Times
papers, and also in the Bristol paper, to claim the dividends
of 60,0001. in the Bank of England,—she being the sole
claimant of the Delbridge's lands and money,—will give
double security, to be payable when she recovers her pro-
perty, to any humane gentleman or lady, who will oblige
her with the loan of 50L to enable her to obtain the decrees.
It will, perhaps, be recollected, that about this period
last year, a catpenter named Hetaey, living in Suffolk-place,
left this place for the United States, taking part of his fa-
mily with hi:v. The remainder have recently received such
favourable accounts from their parent, that yesterday the
whole left for Portsmouth to embark for that " land of pro.
raise." We lament that the soil is so poor, and the climate
so cold in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, &c. that they
afford few inducements to British emigrants.
Recent letters front the Swan River settlement confirm the
intelligence of the breaking up of Mr. Peel's establishment,
and state that the flourishing colony of Clarence now only
consisted of a few families. Sir. Peel himself was farming
on the Murray River in a small way, and the people whom
he brought out with him had been distributed by the govern-
ment throughout the colony.. What a wretched destiny,
after a nine months voyage to the Antipodes !
In the Police Court, Brighton, a case was heard, Harrow
v. Clayton.—Both parties reside at Move. The complaint
against the defendant was for permitting his children, while
infected with the small pox, to walk about the streets of the
village. After the Magistrates had heard the case, Mr.
Milford said he should always, with pleasure, lend his as.
sis:ance, as he had in this case, ice prosecuting a nuisance di
so dangerous and fatal a tendency. He concluded with
stating that he thought it rigl.t to embrace that opportunity
of publicly mentioning that he remembered Mr. Justice Le
Blanc, one of the Judges of the King's Bench, sentencing an
apothecary to six months imprisonment for having inocu-
taled a child, and unlawfully causing it to be exposed in the
public street, to the danger of the public health. harrow
was directed by the Bench to state the particulars of the case
before the Overseers, with a view to legal proceedings being
instituted against the defendant.

11fANCHESTER AND SALFORD ADVERTISER,
July 2.
We are pleased to find that the churchwardens of 'Man-
chester have taken steps to clean and whitewash the dwellings
of those who receive parochial relief, so as to prevent sick-
ness, and to check its progress in cases where it has already
appeared. We may take this opportunity of suggesting to
the owners of cottage property tire propriety of following the
example, particularly as there is at this time considerable
excitement in the minds of the public relative to epedemic
and infectious diseases. The mixture recommended for the
purpose is the following : 21bs of chloride of lime and a
similar luantity of slacked Buxton lime, to be thoroughly
mixed and made into a paste : it is then ready, after being
reduced to a proper consistency, to be laid on the walla
with mortar.
REPaRSINTATION OF MANCHEIITZIL—We announced
last week that it was in contemplation to invite Mr. Mark
Philips to allow himself to be put in nomination for Man-
cher, and we now understand that a canvass in his favour is
on foot ; but the reformers of Manchester will, we trust,
demand of Mr. Math Philips whether he is ready to sup-
port the prayer of Cobbett's Norfolk petition, which, as it
cannot be too often repeated, we will here insert :
1. An appropriation of a part of the public property,—
commonly called church property, to the liquidation of the
Debt.
2. A reduction of the standing army, including staff, bar.
racks, and colleges, to a scale of expense as low as that of
the army before the last war.
3. A total abolition of all sinecures, pensions, grants, and
emoluments, not merited by public services.
4. A sale of the numerous public estates, commonly called
crown lands, and an application of the money towards the li-
quidation of the debt.
5. An eqnitable adjustment with regard to the public
debt, and also with regard to all debts and contracts between
man and man.
If Sir. Philips will pledge himself to vote for these mea-
sures, we are content. But his views of practical reform are
yet to be communicated to the public ; and front the speech
which he delivered at the Reform meeting in February, we
apprehend that they cannot be very extended.
TURN.OUT OF CALICO PRINTEaII...-Yesterday morn-
ing, 47 journeymen calico printers in the employ of Mr.
Burton. of Rhodes, near Middleton, turned out in conse-
quence of an attempt to reduce their wages. Several others
who would finish their work in tile course of the day, were
expected to turn out in the evening.
Mr. DUDSOS'S DLEACHE•II.—The trim-out of the men
late in the employ of Mr. Otto Dudson, bleacher, of
Land's End, near 3liddleton, still exists ; and the knobsticks
are working undcr the protection of the police.
Ou Monday, the 20th ult. a prize ringing lock place at
Holinfirth, in Yorkshire, on those six musical bells. Three
treble peals, consisting of 720 changes each, was the task
allotted to the different companies. There were ten sets of
ringers from various parts of the country, amongst which
were the most celebrated (on six bells) of the present day.
The first prize (61.) was won cleverly by St. James's youths,
of Saddleworth, in 74 minutes, with enly 342 faults ; the
second prize (31.) by the Ileyland company ; and the third
prize (IL) by a set from Sktiston. It is rather singular that
one of the St. James's youths is 70 years of age.
THE Coax NI taLsiee.—Lord Milton gate notice, the
other night, of his in ention to more for a consideration of
the Corn Laws next session. Mr. Hunt gave notice that
he would move their repeal in the present. We think that
Manchester ought to petition en the subject. The corn mile
lees were put off till tne corn laws should;be considered. Se
easy a matter is it to wait, so trifling a matter to the corn.
prehensile mind of my Lord Althorp, that so important a
branch of trade should be suspended, almost annihilated,

ship to be convinced of the absurdity of a part of the
absurd legislation on the corn laws. In the meantime
we may recommend to public notice the following facts :
In the week between the 21st and 27th of the last month, the
total Imports of wheat to Liverpool were 29,281 quarters;
of these, 14,120 were European ; 10,611 were Canadian, and
1,056 American. The imports of flour in the same period
were 26,700 barrels ; of these, from Europe, there were none,
from Canada there were 100, and from the United States of
America, 26,600. A very pretty specimen of the of of
legislative interference in the trade in corn.

We last week called the attention of the authorities to 114
startling fact, that although Cromarty Bay was, by the late
order in Council, appointed one of the quarantine stations.
there was no establishment at that place for cnfetcing th•
regulations of the order. We are happy, however, to mil
that the utmost promptitude has since been evinced in
supplying this deficiency. On the following day, at I
meeeing of the Quarter Sessions held at Tain, the subject
was, with his usual attention to local matters, brought
forward by Mr. Ross of Cromarty, and it was agreed
to petition Lord Melbourne for a LAseret ship, the cem•
munication therewith to be regulated by a water guard.
Abo t the same time the Melville, quarantine cut.
ter, was making for the bay, where it arrived cn
Saturday, in charge of three vessels, two of which had fog ,
billsiof health. At present twelve vessels under quarantine
from the Baltic are lying in the bay, five persons -belonging
to whom have died. The Melville has returned to the Frith
of Forth, and the Royal George has taken its place at Cro.
marty. The public need be under no apprehension or alarm '
as to the arrival of the above vessels, for we can state wit!.
confidence that ut present there is not one case of disease on
board the twelve vessels under quarantine.
The streets of Sunderland and Bishopweammuth are, vi
are informed, left in a state of darkness, being lighted very
poorly with candles. This is owing to the misundersiandirg
with the Gas Company.
TUX:EARLDOM or PIRTIL.—We arc happy to he;:
that this case, to which the public attention was first .1.
rected by the Tyne Mercury, is now going forward, at.:
there is great probability that the poor pitman of Per.she
will recover the title and dignities of his ancestors. On tic

sufficient generosity in the community to raise the funds

CHOLRR A hioasos.—Letter from Capt. Gray, of the
Ruby, of North Shields, front Itign, dated Wniiebeath
Roads, June 36 :
• " I ant happy to ar trounce our sate arrival, all well, which
we may con,ider an esp.cial blessing, although our voyage
has bean mo•t miserably h ng, and the quarantine business
makes it worse. But 1 can assure you there is great aced
of it ; for th.: s e were awn u 6 The last roar or five days.
we saw man, to the morning well as could be, buried at
night. I really think it was in the air; you will not receive
it from each other, as whin 1 got from town, after
clearing. I found one of my men, who pulled me on slant in
: the morning, insensible. However, they had used the means
to him that 1 directed to be used if I was seized—that is,
• applied bottles of hot water to his chest and met and undo
his shoulders (as it is a contraction of wind), which gave
him immediate relief, and ins day or two he was qua
well. He had no fever, but seseral trembling fits, something
like the ague, fur which I plied him well with Peruvias
bark."

might altogether escape its ravages.
