FOR THE TOILET.
ATIDDLEWOOD'S BOTANIC OIL, distinguished for its
superior efficacy in renovating and producing a luxuriant
growth. It gives the finest lustre alien the hair has been on
the decline or gray, and such is the demand fur it that the pro-
prietor has resolved to again place it in the hands of senders in
every principal town in the kingdom.. it will be in thexecollec-
lion ot.mauv, partcularly those who had patronised ir fur years,
that in 1828 the sale was suspended by goveynnent, and a
penalty inflicted on the propiietor of ESO. scarcely cre-
ditable, but it is a faet—the only charge agtfinst the propriefor
was that the Botanio Oil actually restored" the hair when every
other failed, and, had the Botanic Oilkeen continued as it had
began, every other would have failed in the sale as well as in
effect. So great was the expense in more than one act ion,,that
the proprietor was alMost inclined to give up the contest, con-
sidering he had to contend with every vender in hair rails, as .alt
have the same interest in supporting articles affording the
greatest profit. It was not until April, 8.30, that the proprietor
obtained the privilege to re-commence the sale, the case being
then submitted to parliament by, the Right Hon. W. Iluskissou,
when the 'efficacy of the &fame Oil it as so justly published to
the whole 'louse and .the. Kingdom, that J. M. has sirue.en-
joyed an increased sale; and, it is from the kind interest and
recomtnendation'of some of the 'most distinguished personages
that he is now about to establish agents as formerly.. The
'Botanic Oil requires only a trial by any person uniicquvinted
with its efficac3 to prove the cause of its_ being interdicted; any
individual can lay information, and which is kept a secret;
however, to prevent a repetition by base unprincipled persons,
.the Right Hon. NV II uskisson was pleased'to suggest to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer the propriety of inserting the
Botanic Oil in the new stamp art as free from duty. The pro-
prietor may justly-say, the designs of his opponents haVe been
attended with the best effects; the Botadic Oil is now patronized
by mativ that would never have known• it but from its having
been so clearly ppoVed before parliament.

THE ORIGINAL LIVERPOOL AND NEW YORK
S'T'EAM-PACKET COMPANY.
Capital £200,000. io 10,000 Shares of £2O. each. •
frill E object of this Company is to establish a Steam Cont.:.
municatiou between the Ports of Liverpool .aua New
York.

. Its projectors have long entertained the most sanguine opi-
nions as to the success likely to attendsuch au eaterprize, wheu
liberally backed by public patronage; and, this, the present
prospectus, it is confidently hoped, will be the edits of Induc-
tug.
Twenty years ago the idea was derider successfully effeCt7
ing.an intercourse by Steam between th. country and irelaud.
Nevertheless, we are now in a position of exposing the fallacy
of so contracted a view, as science, aided by wealth, persever-
ance, and enterprise have prevailed, and the existing establish-
ments are in the umst prosperous urdition. •
The assertion, then, may fairly be hazarded, that Steam
Navigation, iu the really efficient farm it has assumed in the
present day, is capable in an eminent degree of developing the
vast resonices of those fertile, densely populated, and cornmer-
cially important districts of North America,) to which the oper-
aliens of this Company will be directed,) by affording that su-
perior facility of intercourse between them and Great Britain,
roil which Steam in other parts of the world has become so
justly celebrated, and which, alike to the Merchant and the
,Ertiigrant, must be a matter of the most paramount interest.
The projectors are justifiable its stating, (inasmuch its it is
the expressed opinion of scientific and experieuced inen,) that,
with suitably constructed and powerful vessels, the run out to
New York may, in ordinary weather, be accomplished in about
fourteen days. So quick a run by other means, it is believed,
should be without a parallel.
An ample supply of,Fuel may be always calculated upon, as
the great improvement lately introduced in the engineer and
Lanier department (the invention of the scientific Mr, Hall) has
caused a most extraordinary decrease in the consumption of
that very important article:
In order to disseminate as widely as possible the advantages
likely to accrue from such an association as this, welt, respect-
ably; and spiritedly conducted,—a prominent feature in its for-
mation has been, that of dividino, the shares into a moderate
amount, of Twenty Pounds each;' thus, not • precluding the
tradesman or small capitalist from investing in an establishment
which canuot but angmeut the commercial importance of this
enterprising- community.
The Company will be considered •as constituted, as soca as
bona tide applications to the extent of 5000 shares shall have
been made.

five. Shillings per Share will be required upon enrollment ;
and, in one week after Directors have been chosen, it will be
necessary for Proprietors to pay £2. per Share -into the Albio❑
Bank, to. the credit of the Company. '1 he remainder of the
calls to be made as the direction-Intl' deeli expedient, in sums
not exceeding £2. per share. and at periods of not less than six
weeks ber ween- each eall.

The management of the Company shall be intrusted to Six
Directors, to be chosen by the Proprietors. 'Three of the Di-
sectors. to retire annually, but to be eligible for re=election. -
bolding of Fifty Shares to constitute the eligibility of a
Director, and A uditurashall not.lielleetnedvouipeteut to act as

'ilia usual tueans to secure Proprietors by the restriction of
liability will be adopted.
A Provisional Committee will be formed borneiliately, to
whom all applicatious for Shares must be. aditres.ietl, care of

MHE practicability of navigating the Atlantic. by powerful
Sterna Vessels, and effecting a passage from the, port. of
New York to the shores of Great Brrtain, with tolerable cer-
tainty, in lu or 12 days, having beau fully :established, it can
scarcely fail immediatelyto increase the intercourse between the
two countries to as unprecedented extent.
The trials that have been .made.by the spirited owners of the
Great Western and Sirius steam ships, deserve the praise and
encouragement of the British and American public; but when
it is considered that-of these vessels one is confined ,to the port.
of Bristol, and that the other occupies a portion only of the at-
tention of a company, it will be admitted that they wrist prove
quite inadequate to the conveyance of the thousands of pas-,
sr:ngers. who yearly vross the Atlantic, and who have hitherto
taken their passage in sailing.vessels. These sailing vessels, as
far as i.assraw:ers ate coraet:upcd, must now give way to their
powerful rival,, the steamers. .

11 is therefore proposed to establish a company that shall con-
fine its capital and energies to the conveyance of passengers
and goods, With the greatest possible punctuality and despatch,
between, London, Liverpool, and New Nork.
Plan of operation—To build four or six vessels. of front 1001)
to 1504 lons, upon the most approved principle, of the greatest
proportionate steam power, and fitted in a style cumbiumg.ele-
ganee, and comfort.
That one of these vessels shall be despatehed from London
and Liverpool alternately, twice in each month; from London.
oN the first, and from Liverpool iii the middle, of the month,
and on the same dates from New York_ :Or twicre a mouth from
Liverpool, and once from Loudon, as may be found expedient.
First outlay.—Six steam ships, including all the expenses of-
the Company up to the time of the dispatch of the first vessel,
at Z 50,000. —E300,000.
To raise which sum, no more (hart .00. per share on the ca-
pital will be required. ..
The present and increasing, rates of freight and passage, the
Committee confidently believe will return to the shareholders a
dividend of at least 20 per cent, , .

The Committee having secured the purchase or refusal of the
splendid steam ship. the Liverpool, with engines of SUO-horse
power, built by Sir J. Tibia, in the Mersey, to compete with the
Great Western, and now nearly ready for sea, this Company will
he enabled to commence operations at once, and to despatch their
first vessel before the British Queen, sir .any other nesv vessel
of the class, can be got ready for sea. £3. tier share, in with.
lion to the deposit,- will more than cover the purchase of the
Liverpool.

TRANSATLANTIC STEAM-SHIP COMPANY,
CAPITA L £500,000, in SHARES of .£lOO EACI
fin HE arrangements which have, for some time, en in pro-
./ gress, through the agency of the Director the City '
Dublire Steam=putket Company, for este blis gan intercourse,
by Steam Navigation, between the Br' sh Islands and the
United States of America. being now co pleted, the Directors
of the- TRANSATLANTIC STEAM-SHIP COMPANY
announce to the public, that suitable Vessels,- en. the approved
safety principle, are now in progress of Construction, with the
view of opening' a direct Communication "between the Ports of
LIVERPOOL and NEW YORK. The Contracts entered
into by the former Company, intended to have been established
iu 1537. under the_authority'uf Parliament, being available for
purposes or this Company.
The first two Vessels of the Company, of 4,50 horses power,
and PAX) tons but then each, by Messrs. Fawcett, Preston, and
Co.. and Messrs. W. and J. Wilson, will, it is expected, be
available in the course of next year, and the well known cha-
racter of those houses cannot fail of giving confidence to the
public and ensure the utmost perfection, in build and Machinery,
of which Steam Navigation is at present susceptible.
This Company having the advantage of Co-operation with
the City of Dublin Steain-packet Cbmpany and of their experi-
ence in the management awl business of Steam Navigation, the
public may feel assured, that the Directors of that Company,.
who have associated themselveS with the present undertaking,
would not have done so 'except under a full conviction of its
practicabi:ity and success
The ituproved'state of Steam Navigation. and the great ex-
tension of the intercourse in passengers between Great Britain
and AMerica,-eoupled with—the strong desire expressed in the
manufacturing districts in favour of the Steam intercourse with
the United States and the British Colonies through the Port of
Liverpool, give ample assui ance Of a satisfactory return on the
Capital to he employed.
All the Vessels of this Company are intended to be con-
structed on the safety principle so successfully adopted by the
City of Dublin Steam-packet Company, of being divided into
separate compartments by air and water-tight plate-iron bulk-
heads, a principle which guarantees the greatest security against
accidents at Sea. The entire timber work of these Vessels, also,
will be prepared oil Kyan's anti-dry rut procesi : thus securing'
he greatest strength't.,nddutabil'ity of which Steam-ships are
use eptibte.
For the purpose of giving immediate effect to the operations
of the Company and to the intercourse between LtvEn Pow, and
Naw YOLK, and until the Company's new Vessels shall be
ready for service, arrangements have tarn made with the City
of Dublin Steam-packet Company, tits tivlnich two Steam Vessels
will he at once placed on the line. 'rhe first of these Vessels,
lie Rota t. Wicri sst, is intended to be despatched from LI-
VERPOOL for NEW YORK early in July next.
The SUbscribers to the American Sieum Company, intended
to have been estabbst ed in 1537; under the proyisi,ns of the
Acts of Gilt and 7th George IV., and which Act has, fur the
present, become legally inoperative. have priority of-Subscrip-
tion for Shares in the above, pursuant to an arrangement
entered into to that effect.
-Shares, in the fist instance, will be istnfatl to tt,e amount of
but one half of the capital above mentioned, until, in the pro-
gress of the Company's operations, an Aditional number of
vessels shall be required. In issuing the remaining half or the
Shares, when suet, shall lie necessary, miority.of Subscription
will be given to the then existing Proprietors, who will be enti-
tled to whatever advantages may attach to such Shares.
Instalments to be called for at intervals of not less than three
months, and not exceeding EIO per share.
Application for the tinapprepriated Shares May he made to
the Company's Bankers or Solicitors, or at the Offices of the

Dr. DAVIESON continues to direct his ion to those dis-
orders arising from the too free and indis ninate indulgence
of the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of
nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries all the ener-
vating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing state of de.
bility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful ha
hits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by which the powers
of the constitution becoMe enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and
•
speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health.
It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the ye;
nereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who,
by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution,
and when the great Doctor Swedour became Professor at Ley--
den University, he conferred an invaluable benefit upon man-
kind by the discuYery of grand Panacea, for the cure of this
denlOrable complaint. Never did a discovery excite a greater
sensation, it was soueht after With avidity, and used with the
undeviating success in the most nowise and intricate cases of
the delicate complaint. for the cure of which they have been so
long celebrated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany,
caused their Speedy introduction into almost every country. tie
certainty with which they were continually administered can be
attested by many thousands. In fact, during the long centi-
nental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard
of the soldier. in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infec-
tion was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate
than that which hasg,ivear such general satisfaction ? Thell Yves
ian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, puri-
lying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only
remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different
functions of the body expelling the grosser humours, and in a
manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the mist
sceptical of their-astonishing and uneqUalleil powers. The
neither contain niercttry nor any other mineral, and may be'
taken without the s)ightest saspition of discoverthey require
115 restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business. but
effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient.
At any period when the slightest suspicion' may exist, it will • be
well tb have recourse to.the Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken
before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain
preventive, by moving the. complaint effectually and secretly.
'fire deplorable state in which many persons have been when
visitinv the proprietor, from the 'use of mercury, renders it im-
peratively necessary forant ion the public against that dangerous
mineral when injudiciously administered.

......
Lord J. Russm.t.,moved toe order of toe day that the report
oil the municipal corOoratlons (Ireland) bill be brouOit up, and
in answer to Sir J. Gilts m stated, that he intended on Mon-
day to lay on the table of the.house certain resolutions relating„
to the suDject.of tithes, with the intention of afteraards bring-
ing in a bill founded on those resolutions.

Mr. Hums moved the second reading of the county rates
bill, and expressed great indig►natio❑ that the ministers had
suddenly vanished front the_house. Lord J. Russell, however,
returned in time to assist in throwing out the bill, which was re-
jected bye majority of 68. • •
Toe eipenses at elections bill was throw❑ out by a majority
of 28:

The copyright bill, after some sharp discussion, was committed
pro forma, and w,isordered to be recuusidered on the 20th inst

Mr. Lrtsictes married women's bill was thrown out by a ma-
jority of 35.
The High-sheriffs bill, was, on the motion of the ATTOII SLY-
GENERA 1., thrown out without a division.

Several colonial returns were orthied on the motion of Mr.
PHASE. after which the house adjourned at 12 o'clock'

HOUSE OF LORDS.-THURSDAY.

After the presentation of some miscellaneous petitions, a con-
versation was introduced by Lord BitOUGII AM, on the subject
of the late riot iu Keut, which did nut elicit any thing worthy
of special notice,
The Ea rt of- DEVO. gave notice that- he would, on Friday,
draw the attention of their lordships to the third report of tile
criminal law commissioners, and move for a select committee
on the subject.
On the motion,that their lordships proceed to the order of the
day for the committee •on the poor-law (Ireland) bill, LOld
FITZGERALD detailed at some length the various amendments
which he should wish to introduce into that measure. • •
The house then went into committee, when, after some debate,
an amendment proposed by • the Duke of WELLINGTON was
adopted, to the effect that-such destitute persons as by-reason of
old age, blindness, lameness, or other infirmity, may.not be able
towurk,shall have a claim to relief prior to that of the able-
bodied poor. , The. noble duke also proposed several Other
amendments, amongst which was a clause, by way of localisiug
expenses, to affix the expenses upon the town-land 'in which the
person receiving relief was registered as residing. He said. it
" been represented to hint that these townlands were of
wiry unequal size, some of them which were in the neighbour-
hood of large towns being excessively small; and\ it• had been
represented to him that if the expenses were affixed upon those
townlands, they would be entirely ruined by the resort of pau-
tiers,
to townlands. The parishes were very unequal in point of
size, and the baronies were in like :mintier unequal; and he,
therefore, thotiglit, that the object Of; this clause was to fix the
expense upon the electorial district of guardians. He thought
this would be the best mode 6-r lecalising the expenses. He was
anxious to give each district au interest in keeping down the
expences.".
The Bishop of ExErEn moved amenduients, which were
adopted to prevent Roman catholic bishops from exercising
power over the priests with respect to their atteudauce at the
workhouse, and-to -provide that • the clergy of any persuasion
should not give instruction to persons In the workhouse in the
-same room in Which individuals of another persuasion were
present.

• An amendment, proposed by Lord FITZGERALD, in the 46th
clause of the bill, requiring annual reports to the poor-law
commissioners from the hospitals in Ireland, was ordered to be
printed, in order that it might be taken into consideration on
bringing up the report.
The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained leave
to sit again on Friday.
The bills on the table were forwarded a -stage, and their
lordships adjourned.
HOUSE OF COMMONS—THURSDAY.

that it be taken into consideration that day three months, hav-
ing been negatived by a majority of 131 to 31.
In reply to a question 'Non Sir S. Canning, whether govern-
ment was aware of any'orders issued by the French govern-
ment toi involve the p'rnbaj.iility .oar' approaching hostilities be-
tween them and the governmentof 'lainis, Lord PALMERSTON
said that be had nut yet received a% answer to his inquiries
froth our ambassador at Paris; •but from a conversation lie had

not believe there was any foundation for the report.
In reply to questions from Mr. MiLEs, respecting an insult
offered to her..Nlajesty's minister in Persia, aod respecting the
siege of Teheran,

Lord PALMERSTON replied that, .according to the last de-
spatehes received from • Mr. M'Neil, some delay had arisen in
the arrival of his messenger; but Mr. M'Neil had received an
answer which was not satisfactory. In the meantime, the siege
of Teheran having continued four or five months, circumstances
had induced to g 6 himself to the camp of the,
Schah, and the last despatches was dated eleven
.clays' journey
from Teheran.

Several hOn. members having addressed the house upon the,

In answer to Lord BROUGHAM'S inquiry. Lord GLENELG
stated that martial law was proclaimed in Canada by the gover-

quil when he left it.

Union Railway Bill was read a third time and passed, after a'
division, the Ayes being 79, Noes 26.
Lord J. RUSSELL, in answer to Lord Ashley, said, that-the
Factory Bill bad been delayed owing to the indisposition of the
under-secretary, (Mr. F. Maule); but that, as various amend-
ments and alterations were, messed, and as there would be
little chance of adegifakery cOnsidering them this session, it was
intended not to press the further consideration'of that measure.
On motion p( Lord John RussELl., the house resumed the
consideration of the report on the Benefices Pluralities Bill.
Mr. LI wEs, however, haVing ineffectually desired its recom-
mitment,
cur the purpose of proposing new clauses abolishing
&i., such further consideration, occupied consider-
able portion of the sitting.

IRON SIE A NI-BOA is 'necessary to mention, among the
impiovements which ate likely to add to the capabilities of steam
vessels, for making long voyages, the introduction of iron as the
material of construction, the use of which has been attended with
complete success, in every instance in which it has been tried.
The advantages of iron vessels are stated to be; that they do not
weigh one-halt that of a timber sea-going vessel, and they there-
fore, draw considerably less water, and give a greater speed with
equal power; greater safety, in consequence of being divided
into water-tight compartments by iton bulk-heads, and greater •
economy, as they du not require SO many repairs. The capacity
•is also increased for passengers and goods: A wooden vessel of
30 feet beam is only 27 Act 6 inches inside, while an iron vessel
would be 29feet 6 inches, ronsequently, a saving of taw feet is
produced throughout the whole length of the vessels. They
sides possess the advantage in hot climates of being cooler, more
free from vermin; ;And, in consequence, mote healthy. In fact.
the advantages seem to be generally acknowledged. The only
difficulty that has at present stood in the Way of their employ-
ment in sea voyages, has been the effett of the iron on the com-
pass, and Otis has been successfully overcome, in the late voy-
age of L'Egyplian to Alexandria, "
in which the compass was fix
under the direction of Professor Barlow, and has been i
to
uh' have
work with the same accuracy as in an ordinary vessel

I Pupa ViC Sunduy )
CITY, SA'l:lloAY.—AliilOUgh money is beeorning more in
demlind fur intocantile purposes, still we cannot yet quote any
very general increase of animation in the markets for the prin-
cipal descriptions of produce, whether colonial or foreign. The
quantity of goois offered since Wednesday has been very con-
siderable indeed, consisting of large parcels of Mauritius, Ben-
. gal. West India, and other Sugars, as well as many descriptions
of Coffee. Silk Piece Goods, and other produce and manufac-
tures-. The actual sales have exceeded the average usually
taken, and these markets may therefore he quoted in a healthy
state. The American trade still -labours under -depression,
though not by any means so great as a few weeks since. The
.accoutits received From the United States to the 12th ult., con-
cur in representing, that a more favourable condition of things
existed, the consequence of • a return to specie payment by :11
the banks of the State and City of New York, -and in many
other parts of the union. • "- -
It appears by the last official returns, that the whole of the
banks of the United States have upon the aggregate more than
1,000,000 of Dollars as the then total circulation. The general
resumption of specie payments, therefore, throughout the United
States may, we apprehend, be carried into full execution with-
Out the possible chance of any " untoward" event. arising, by
which a fresh suspension Would be rendered necessary. Specie
continued to flow into the United States, up to the latest dates,
from all quarters. The commercial interests were, however,
complaining that with'the partial revival of trade, the banks
were extremely shy of discounts. The position in which the
merchants of America were, placed in by the absence of accom-
modation, will be best illustrated by the fact exhibited in the
last returns, that the banking establishments of the United
States have upon loans and discounts at present an aggregate
amount, less by 60,000,000 dollars than` at the corresponding
period of last year.

It ts,.however, satisfactory to k•noty that ere long there must
be a revival of trade, as the stockS of all descriptions of goods
were, at the latest dates, extremely low, and' the balance of
trade for some months past..has been against this country—such
has been the avidity shewn by " Brother Jonathan" to press
forward his produce to Great Britain. It appears by the last
returns, that 1,050,000 bales of Cotton bad been shipped off
from American ports for BurOne,' exceeding by 200,000 bales
the exports'of 18.37, and nearly 400.000 bales above the quantity
consigned to various places in the previous year, up to the same
date. • • -

The prices of Stock have remained very steady throughout
this week. Consols for the July account -have ranged only be-
'tween 951 and 951, but for Money the alterations have been
more extensive. 1 oere were many sales made early in the week,
in anticipation of the closing, of the transfer books, and the price
of Consols receded to 91,1. We cannot quote any material vari-
ation in the other Stocks. The premium on Exchequer Bills
has improved again to 68-70, and India Bonds to 72-74. Bank
of England Stock has fluctuated between 204 and 204 and
East India Stock between 270,1 and 2701.
Foreign Bonds haVe been in limited demand this week. Pot-
tuguese Stock, in consequence of the instability of the ministry
at Lisbon, has been rather 'seriously affected. The Five per
Cents have fallen from 31 to 364, and the Three per Cents
from 261 to 2-11. The Spanish Bond Market has.beeu steady
for the last few -days, but at'a fall -in prices of about 4to 1 per
cent on the highest value of the week. The last price of the
Active Stock yesterday was 22. and of the Deferred fq. Dutch'

The Share Market remains in a very inactive condition, only
a few of the Shares of the more important lines of Railway can
be sold with facility. The London and Birmingham-have fallen
to 173, or 83 prem.; the Great Western from 951 to 91, or 26

wich to 151, or 41 disc. ; and the Manchester and Leeds to 37,
or 17 prem. The Banking Shares have remained pretty steady,
with the exception of those of the British North American Bank,
which, in consequence of the favourable progress made by the
branches of the establishment in the colonies, have advanced
from 221 to 24, or 4 prem.; the London and Westminster Bank
Shares running very steady at 21,11, or 111 prem. The Asphalte

as compared with those of last week. British Iron Shares have
declined as low as 9N, or 4141 discount upon each 501. share.
HALF-PAST TWELVE.—Cuusols for account remain steady at
95i to 4, and Exchequer Bills at 68-70 prem.; Bank Stock is

sols fetch 21i, being a shade lower; Portuguese New have im-
proved t 034. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents remain at 551.
In Shares there have been scarcely any bargains, and with

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY'S PETITION
TO TII6 HOUSE OF COMMONS AGAINST THE COUNTENANCE
AND SUPPORT GIVEN To IDoLATRY IN INDIA.

To the Honourable the Coomons of Great Britain an'd
-Ireland in Parliament assembled,
The humble Petition of the M iniste:s'aud' Elders of the
General Assembly of the Church of Scotland,
SHEIVETH,
That the attention of your petitioners has been drawn to cer-
tain documents, showing that, in a variety of ways, and to a
very painful evtent, the countenance and support of the British
Government of India have been given to the idolatry of the
natives subject to this country.
That in particular your petitioners refer in the first place to a
memorial presented in August 1836 to the Governor iu Council
at Madras signed by the Archdeacon and a number of respect-
able individuals' lay and clerical; and to a similar memorial,
presented to the Governor in Council at Bombay, detailing
facts relative to this subject of the most appalling description—
from which it appears that by offerings made and honours ren-
dered to idols, revenue derived from their worshippers, attend-
ance required of British functionaries, civil and military at
heathen or Mahoniedan festivals, and regulations. respecting
the impure and unhallowed rites of the pagoda, this country has,
through its athorities, become involved in the heinous guilt of
directly encouraging and Maintaining false religion, and at the
same time aggrieving and ensnaring the consciences of pro:.
leasing Christian's employed in its service.
That these facts, so far from having been ever contradicted,
are established bevend doubt by a despatch front the Bight
Honourable Lord Olenelg, as President of the Board of Con-
trol, of date twentieth February, eighteen hundred and thirty-
three, to which your petitioners beg in the next place to call the
attention of your Honourable House, and of which the
ing is an extract:—
" That the interference of British functionaries n the interior
management of native temples, in the customs, habits, and reli-
gious proceeding of their priests and attendants, in the arrange-
ment of their ceremonies, rites, and festivals, and generally in
the conduct of their interior economy, shall cease.-
" That the pilgrim tax shall everywhere be aholished.
"That fines and offerings shall no longer be considered as
sources of revenue by the British Government, and they shall
no longer be collected or received by the servants of the
company.
"That no servant Of the East India Company shall hereafter
be engaged in the collection, or management, or custody of
monies, in the nature of tines or offerings, however obtained, or
whether furnished in cash or in kind.
"That no servant of the Company shall hereafter derive any
emolument from the above-mentioned or any similar sources.
"That in all matters relating to their temples, their worship.
their festivals, their religious practices, and their ceremonial
observances, the natives be left entirely to themselves.
." That in every case in which it has been found necessary to
form and keep up a police force, especially with a view to the
peace and security of the pilgrims or of the worshippers, such
police shall hereafter be maintained and made avaitanle out of
the general revenues of the country." ,
That the orders contained in this excellent despatch have, as
your petitioners understand, never been carried into effect; and
as appears from a resolution of the Court of East India Proprie-
tors, so late as the twenty-first of March last, so far from its be-
ing intended that they should be executed, it is now the design
of that Honourable Body to preclude, if possible, any farther in-
terference in the matter on the part of the Christian public.
That your petitioners, representing as they do the Establish-
ed Church-of Scotland, feel, that fronuttt the Lestheregard interestswlrichtle,;vf
owe to the glory of the only true Gal, and
the country, from sympathy for their countrymen employed
under the Gove.rnment of India (some of whorl, for conscience
sake, have already been obliged to give up their situations in
life,) and front concern for the welfare of the natives themselves,_
they are called upon to remonstrate against evils of such mag-

BAPTISM OF A JEW BY IMMEIISION.—On Thursday evening
last the above rare and interesting scene took place in the Bap-
tist church, Louth; the Rev. F. Cameron, after a shot t address,
baptised the Jewish candidate; the devotional offices were con-
ducted by-the Rev. J. Kiddal. After the baptism, Mr. Symonds,
in a lengthened address, gave his reasons for embracing Chris-
tianity, and for becoMing a Baptist, founding his argunientson
the words of- Jude; in the progress of his remarks we learned
that Mr. Symonds had officiated several years as a Jewish Rabbi,
and that he has endured persecution and loss of property.— Lin-

TIIE FATAL RIOT NEAR CANTERBURY,

( Front • the

CANTER.BURY, WEDNESDAY EVHNING,
I have just seen a statement attempting to couriect the rt-ceut
disturbances iu the parishes of Boughton and Heruehilt with the
excitement existing in other places against the New Poor Law.
I have before asserted that, as cause and effect, these two sub-
jects have no connexion whatever. It is there stated, that on
Wednesday last, in certain gravels-pits, close to the tnickfields,
at Sittiugbourne, Thom offered 3U persons, whom he found at
work, bread and beer, if they would go with him and attack the
union workhouse itt Milton, and that they unanimously spurned

_ .
his offer. I have the authority of a person who was then present,
asserting that such an offer was never made by Thom, and that
those who are represented as spurning it, never lieard of it having
been made until they saw it in one of the country papers. Thom
certainly.did ask the men at these gravel-pits to join him; but
one of them had the good sense to reply that he must have suf-
ficient grounds shown him for putting his own neck into jeopardy,
and the country into disturbance, t•efore he joined in such int
expedition. On this Thom turned round and left the men saying.
" It is of no use talking to you. You are all a set of Methodists."
He assailed them, however, with some other inflantmatory topics,
and among other inducements which he held out
to them to rise
against the rich, asked them, "Do writ think it ever was
,or-
dained by God that these unions should separate man and ? •
Law.
That .was the only reference he made to the New Poor
and however that law may be disliked in this county, he ne*.e.r,
proposed to any of his disciples that they should follow hits
obtain its repeal, nor is there any reason to think that, to produce.t(
such a result, any of them would have' ventured upon ouch
course of turbulence and violence as that which has recently
stained the reputation of these parishes.
'Though roost of the Area who followed John Thom in his
riotous march through the country, were personally attached to
that mischievous per Son and regarded him as a super-human
being, it would be wrong to suppose that every one who joined
his ranks was induced to accompany him from respect for his
real or assumed character. There is ne doubt that some, hav-
ing, unfortunately for themselves, met Thom in his mad career,
were compelled by threats, and by the fear of instant death, to
remaiu with him.. I have been informed that Miles, who was
discharged from custody last Monday by the magistrates of
Faversham, was one of those who were thus led away. Miles is
a small farmer, about 56 years old, cultivating a little piece of
ground of his own, and, as we stated yesterday, oecupyinga very
neat cottage, which he has built on his land. He is known at
Herne-hill, as an industrious and inoffensive man, and is the
father of a large family,- whom he has brought up in respecta-
bility. He has ten children; most of them are females, exceed-
ingly pretty, and having, for their rank iu lite, an air of extra-
ordinary gentility. - The numbers of his grandchildren living
amounts to 12, and he hastwo dead. Early on Thursday, Miles
was proceeding with his hoe in his hanu to the fields, when Thorn
and his party came up to him, and asked hint to go with them.
Miles bad no disposition to do so' but -was, contrary to his incli-
nations, persuaded by one of his daughters to follow Courtenay,
for the purpose of hearing what it was that that individual, who
was thought to be inspired,: had to say to the mob. This step
was no sooner taken than repented of. On reaching the osier-
beds Thom turned upon his followers, and threatened to shoot
any one who should attempt to desert him. Some of the party
then remonstrated with him; they asked him -" -What it -was
he intended to do, and pointed out the certainty of their being
all killed if the soldiers came upon them.". To this Thorn re-
plied, in a manner not quite consistent with the notion which
he laboured to inspire in others that be and his party were ren-
dered l,voluereile by Divine power, " Oh, no !" he said, "that
might happen on the road or in an open space; but we shall be
here protected by the wood." Thum and his followers then
went, as has been already frequently stated, to Mr. Irancis's
house, where Mr. Francis, Miss Francis, and Miss Home
shook hands with him. The latter lady, whose age, 1 ant told,
is on the wrong side of forty, was not, it seems, content with
this ordinary mode of salutation, but flinging her arms round
Thom's neck, •• hugged and kissed illin as if (to use my
informant's expression) ihe would' bite a piece out of his
cheek." It is also positively said that a bottle of gin was
hhnded by this maiden over' the hedge to Thom.
At this moment an alarm was raised that the soldiers were
coming, and Thom and his party immediately retreated into the
osier-bed. Soon after this, Miles, who had loitered to the rear
of the party. seized an opportunity, when screened from Thom's
sight by a high bank and a bend in the road, of escaping. I
have it in my power to mention another instance in which it is
fair to presume that terror akine prevented Thorn's band from
being lessened by at least -one person. Goodwin, one of the
rioters committed for trial, Was asked by Them to which side
113 belonged, adding, that if he belonged to the other party he
should not live. At the same time Thom pointed a pistol at
Goodwin, and the person who gave use information of this oc-
currence states that he expected every moment to see Good-
win's brains blown into the air. Another case, which I shall
here mention, is a proof of the anxiety of Thom to press any
person he could catch hold of into his service. That wretched
looking old min, Thomas Ovendon, who was committed on
Monday last, to Maidstone gaol, on a charge of wilful murder,
is a beggar who wanders about the lanes between Whitstable,
Herne-hill, and, the neighbourhood. •An individual of respect-
able character saw him on the road betweeu Whitstable and
Boughton at half-past eight o'clock on the morning of Thurs-
day, and as he passed could not help thinking that the poor
wretch would certainly fall in with, and be pressed by, Thous
and his party. As this gentleman predicted, so it happened.
He was taking in the act of twining, as hard as an old Man
can run, away from the firing, and was knocked down by one
of the constables. Ire is little better than an ini6t, as his looks
strongly denote. He was born in Whitstable workhotrie, acid
anti has scarcely ever been out of it during the whole of his
life. Surely the government will never proceed capitally
against so imbecile a creature.

It seems that after Miles succeeded in getting-away, as we
have just stated, front the hand of rioters, Thom by his conduct
showed that he was apprehensive- of Mere desertions. He
therefore changed his position from the head to the rear of his
natty, and drove them on beforehim, pushitigoneof them (John-
Puller) forward by striking him repeatedly with his pistol on•
the back.
In the course of my 'ambles this morning through the parish
of Hertie-hill, of which inure hereafter, I learned that the so-
ciety for " Confusing.' Useful Knoyledge has seat a missionary
into this neighbourhood for the purpose of ascertaining to what.

Mr. G. Francis having unfortunately be
timacy for a considerable length of tune with the late madman,
Mr. Thorns, who declared that he would never leave the asylum
with any person but Mr. Guorge Francis, when M. G. Francis
was deputed by Mr. Thoins,.senior, to receive his son from the
asylum, Mr. G. Francis was not aware. that Mr. Thorns, son.,
lied given security' to the-Government for his soh's' behaviour,
nor did Mr. G. Francis ever see or correspond with:Mr. Thorns,
set' , on the subject, not was Mr. G. Francis ever requested to.
give any security; but, on the Contrary, and having received
letter from the medical man of that asylum that he considered.
Sir William Courtenay perfectly inoffensive (which letter was
yesterday put into the magistrates' hands), he was induced to
fetch him from the asylum in his own house, where he resided.
as a visitor for some time, always conducting himself to Mr. G.
Francis and his family in the most gentlemanly wanner.
On Mr. G. Francis observing, in January last, a uew pair of
pistols in the possession of Mr. Thorns, he immediately remon-
strated with him on the sulitiect, and insisted on their being
taken from his premises. Mr. Thorns hayinglai/ed to give ;tr.
G. Francis convincing proof that he was the man lie had repre-
sented himself to be, Mr. G. Francis, on the 10th of January
last, desired him to quit his house. . -
On the 9th of March Mr. Thorns thrust himself into Mr. G.
Francis's house, and slept their one night, Mr. G. Francis
avoiding to hold any conversation with him, excepting the re-
questing Mr. Thorns tntake his horse from off the premises.
On the sth of May Mr. Thorns came to Mr. Francis's house
for his horse, and uninvited 'drank tea there, on which occasion
Mr. G. Francis left his own house for the express purpose of
avoiding Into, and drank tea at his son's house.
On Thursday morning last, after Mr. Thous had shot the
constableiu the wood,- he came alined to Mr. G. Francis's
house with 36 of his deluded followers with bludgeons, and in-
sisted on Mr. G. Francis supplying them ail with gin and water,
on which Mr. Thorns was supplied with. gin and water for him-
self, and beer for his followers; at this moment Mr. G. Francis
came up, when Mr. Thorns said. •‘ Francis, I am corns here to
make my peace with you ; wce have not been upon terms for some
time; I forget and forgive you what has passed, and I hope you
will do the same and shake I.a.ids." Mr. G. Francis replied,
‘• Sir William, I regret seeing you in this situation ; you are
not only getting into trouble yourself, but by coming to my
house you are getting me into trouble alio. I must request that
you will immediately lake vont. party off my premises. I feel
no animosity against you, (and shook hands,) at the same time
I must tell ymm that if yi] are not the person you haVe repre-
sented yourself to be, you deserve the severest. punishment.
can be inflicted." At this moment it was reported the soldiers
were coming to the house, when Mr. Thorns said, " My lads..
come on down to the over-bed, where we shall have an open
field .to fight_in." 11t Thorns sod
_his deluded followers ironie-.
diatelv went to the ozier-bed.

We are enabled to state from auth4rity, that on a friendly
application to Mr. Francis by the magistrates, that gentleman
and his family at once gave op the whole of the property in their:
pos,essiun belonging to Thou's.

PopEav UNCHANGED IN IB3B.—Extract of a letter. dated
Naples, May Certainly no desCription can equal the
re-
ality of the absurdity of some of the scenes we have witnessed-
At game we spent the Passion week, saw a great many of the
ceremonies, among which was the Pope's washing the feet of
thirteen pilgrims, and afterwards waiting upon them while they
dined. This is spoken of as a mark of humility, but the water
is poured into a silver tra-;ai by some Prince, and presented to
the Pope kneeling, and at the dinner the dishes are hauded to
the Pope by mitred bishops, who also kneel on presenting them.
We saw a public baptism of two Jews, which was very
absurd.
The bishop, who perforated the rite, went through innumerable -
ceremonies with the water, breathing on it, crossing it, trii*ing
oil, wine, and bread in it, and at last setting an enormous condi!
in it. After the baptism, the proselytes were confirmed and-
then there was an ordination and communication But the most
absurd thing we have seen was here the other day—the liquifying.-
of the blood of St. Januarius or Cennaio. In the usorniag they
brought a silver gilt half-length figure of the saint into the.
Cathedral, and with touch ceremony, dressed hint it, splendid,
robes, and put on bins a mitre. Ile was then placed on a stand:
