CAUTION

MONS. LEVI begs to Caution the Public against
the GREAT IMPOSITIONS practised in this Town by
a person, who, styling himself a Chiropodist, calls at the houses
of the inhabitants of Liverpool, with Handbills, in which be
gives his residence as No. 3, Conduit-street, Regent-street,
London, and represents himself to be M. LEVI, in order
thereby to obtain the confidence of the Public, and to DE-
FRAUD them. _ _ _

M. LEVI considers it his duty to Caution the Public against
such pretenders, who have no residence either in London or in
Paris, but are simply vagabonds, without the slightest redeem-
ing pretensions.
The description of this person is as follows : he is a man
about 40 years of age, middle-sized, rather stout, pock-marked,
without any whiskers, light brown hair, and dressed in shabby
genteel attire. He is addicted-to liquor and snuff, and his
language is vulgar and his voice harsh. His mode of operation
is said to be this : he first takes out a small bottle, containing
red-coloured stuff -before applying it to the toe of the Patient
he tastes it himself; then he covers the part affected with the
stuff and cuts the surface ; and finally he produces bristles, or
a hard horny substance, which are concealed in a pair of pin-
cers, and represents the same as having been drawn out of the
foot. He then winds up the delusion by covering the part
affected with a red liquid, which, on examination, has proved
to be a tincture of common oil.

lst warning the Public against this scandalous imposi-
tion, M. LEVI refers to the Norwich papers of last December
twelve month, whereby it will be seen that one of the same
gang attempted then and there to carry on his frauds by simi-
lar unfounded misrepresentations, and that he was brought to
justice at the Norwich Assizes.
M. LEVI considers it but justice to the Public, whose kind-
ness and generous encouragenisnthe has so largely experienced
during his Annual Visits to Liverpool, to expose this glaring
imposition, by warning all persons against these sot disant
Corn Doctors, whose ignorance is only paralleled by their im-
pudence.
Monsieur Levi may be CONSULTED DAILY, for a short
time only, from the hours of Ten till Four o'clock, at his Resi-
dence,

HOUSE OF COMMONS,

-WEDNESDAY

An animated discussion took place on the motion being
repeated for a new writ for the election of a member for
Harwich, in the room of Mr. Attwood, unseated on peti-
tion. The motion was supported by the HoME SECRE-
TART, but strenuously opposed by several hon. members
until the evidence taken before the committee was printed.
A motion for printing the evidence was ultimately agreed
to, and the issuing of the writ suspended.
On the motion for the second reading of the Election
Recognizances Bill, an amendment was proposed to leave
out all the words after " That" in the first clause, in order
to insert others preventing the operation of the bill in
those cases for which it was originally brought in. The
motion to leave out the words being carried by a majority
of two, it was then proposed to add the words of the
adment, but this motion was negatived by a majority
7, so that the whole of the clause now consists of the

report that a singer of the Theatre at Cadiz was found
dead in his box, after the performance of Lucia di Lam-
mermoor, in which he had received much applause. In
his left side was a small wound. It is supposed that he
was assassinated out of revenge.

HOUSE OF COMMONS

THURSDAY

Lord ASHLEY moved his resolutions for medical relief to
the poor, founded on the evidence taken before the Med-
ical Relief Committee in 1843. The noble lord addressed
the house in an able and impressive speech, and concluded
by moving that the first resolution be adopted.
Every woman claiming medical assistance from the
parish in consequence of being pregnant, should be en-
titled in all cases to the aid of the medical officer with her
first child, and also with the second or others which may
follow, provided she present a certificate from the medical
officer who attended her in her first confinement, stating
that circumstances had occurred in it out of the ordinary
and natural course of events, which render it desirable
that she should have medical attendance on the next oc-
casion of delivery."
Mr. WAKLEY seconded the resolution.

Mr. C. IiuLLER said the subject of medical relief for
the poor had occupied his most serious and anxious atten-
tion since he had had the honour of being. appointed to
the situation he now held. It was a question attended
with considerable difficulties, and he did not see that it
would be easy much to improve the present system.

There was a great disturbance also at Lubec, on Saturday

THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERRURY.—It is not per-
haps generplly known that this eminent person about 35
years ago gained the second of two prizes. offered by at
individual of Aberdeen, for the best essays on the " Belt

and Attributes of God." The first prize was awarded to
Dr. W. Laurence Browne, Principal of Mirischal College,
Aberdeen, and no doubt his work is a very meritorious
one; but it never attracted much attention, and, we be-
lieve, never reached a second edition, while the Arch-

bishop's has gone through six or seven editions.
THE BISHOP OF MANCHESTER.—The Bishop of Man-
chester arrived at the Palatine Hotel. Manchester, by the
express train from London, on Wednesday evening. His
lordship was attended only by his valet. In the course of
the following day, the Rev. Archdeacon Rushton, Canon
Clifton, and other members of the chapter, called and-had
interviews with his lordship. His lordship, on Thursday

We believe the examination was concluded on Saturda, •
On Thursday evening, his lordship proceeded to the resi-
dence of the Rev. Canon Wray to dinner.

THE NEW BISHOP OF CHESTER.-it gives us much
pleasure to state it as our opinion that the nomination of
'

ur. uranam, the Master of Christ's College, Cambridge,
to the see of Chester is a good appointment. He is not
only an individual highly and generally esteemed in the

University, but we have good reason to believe that his
judgment on theological subjects is sound and Evangelical.
Called to a more active sphere in the church, and having
such an example of unwearied diligence and successful
effort set before him by his revered predecessor, it is not
to be doubted that Dr. Graham will rise to the new cir-
cumstances in which lie is placed, and carry forward the
work of Dr. Sumner with ardour and success.—Record.
BISHOPS' DUTIES.—The number of cures under each
bishop, as the dioceses are at present constituted, is, in
round numbers, as follows :—St. Asaph, 290 ; Bangor,
290 ; Bath and Wells, 450 ; Canterbury, 340 ; Chichester,
300 ' • St. David's, 450 ; Ely, 550 ; Exeter, 650 ; Glo'ster
and Bristol, 450 ; Hereford, 330 ; Lichfield, 550 • Lincoln,
820; Llandaff, 220; London, 400; Norwich, 1,150 ; Ox-
ford, 580; Peterborough, 570; Rochester, 750; Salisbury,
520; Winchester, 600; Worcester, 420; Carlisle, 130;
Chester 460 ; Durham, 260 ; Manchester, 350 ; Ripon,
370 ; Sodor and Man, 24 ; York, 590. (See " Clergy
List," 1848, page 248.) Such is the state of things in
our church. Two hundred and fifty cures is the utmost
that any bishop ought to have under him.
MARINERS CHAPEL AND SeutooL.—The commerce of
Gloucester has gradually increased to such an extent, that
it is calculated that between thirty and forty thousand
mariners, bargemen, and boatmen annually visit the port,
for whose pastoral instruction no provision has been made.
There are also about three hundred navigators employed
in forming new basins, &c., in a similar state of religious
destitution. Great efforts have been made, a handsome
sum has been subscribed, and a plan organized for the
erection of the chapel, and the appointment of a chaplain,
towards whose stipend the Pastoral Aid Society is expected
to contribute. But we regret to add that the commence-
ment of the building has been, and still is, postponed for
want of funds. We shall rejoice to hear that the work
has commenced, and cordially wish it success. In the HO
of donors we are happy to see the name of the Bishop of
Gloucester.—Worcester Journal.
