TDB MADONNA IN ROME.—The veneration shown to
the Virgin by the lower classes is inconceivable. She oc-
cupies so prominent a place in their minds, that there is
no room for a just sentiment of the Deity or his works.
,Where there is one knee bent to God, thousands bow to
her,—with them she is the ruler of the world. We con-
stantly find her picture at the corner of the streets, under
which a lamp is kept incessantly burning. There is not a
hook or recess anywhere in which some pious person has
not erected a tinsel altar under her figure, so that passers
133'.can kneel and say a prayer or two, and then move on.
th all mishaps and difficulties she is the refuge to which
they fly. Votive pictures, similar to what has been de-
scribed in the church of St. Augustine, are bung about
her, even in the streets—offerings for their hair-breadth
seapes. Effigies of the Virgin appear in every church
hut some are held in higher estimation than others. Oc-
,
h4sionally extraordinary miracles are reported to have
taken place—every one of which increases her popularity.
Lately it was currently believed that she had onpn.d

CAUTION TO MOTHERS.

MRS. JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING
SYRUP, FOR CHILDREN CUTTING THEIR TEETH.
The great success of this Medicine during the last Twenty-five
Years has induced unprincipled persons to imitate it, under the
name of American Soothing Syrup, and copying parts of Mrs.
Johnson's Bills, &c. Parents will, therefcire,he very particular
to ask for JOHNSON'S AMERICAN,F,OOTHING SYRUP,
and to notice that the Names of-#llAacLAv and SONS, 95,
Farringdon-streeet, London, (tg,idom Mrs. Johnson has sold
the recipe,) are on the StaKp affixed to each Bottle.—This
infallible Remedy has prekerved hundreds of Childten, when
thought past recoyery from Convulsions arisine from
painful dentitio.g./ As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on
the Gums, the Child will be relieved, the Gums cooled,
and the inflammation reduced. It is as innocent as
efficacious, tending to produce the Teeth with ease; and so
pleasant, [that no Child will refuse to let its Gums be rubbed
with it. When Infants are at the age of four months, the Syrup
should be rubbed on the Gums; and Parents should never be
without the Syrup in the Nursery where there are young Chil-
dren ; for if a Child wakes in the night with pains in the Gums,
the Syrup immediately gives ease ; thereby preventing Convul-
sions, Fevers, &c.

On Friday she sang at Oxford, in the theatre of tl•e
Senate House, which will accommodate 4,000 persons,
and which was well filled. Last night she sung at Leeds,
for the benefit of the members of the band and chorus
accompanying her throughout her tour. We have heard
that, after singing at Leeds, Mddle. Lind is to sing at a
charitable concert at Birmingham, (at which she gives
her services gratuitously), and we believe that she will
not sing any more in the provinces at present, with the
exception of the two concerts in Manchester, for the
benefit of the Royal Infirmary. Although Mdlle. Lind
has received several invitations from the principal resi-
dents in the different places she has visited, she has in-
variably declined them on account of the.shortness of her
stay, and has gone to an inn. In Manchester, however,
she is expected to remain probably for some weeks, the
guest of Mr. and Mrs. Salis Schwabe, Crumpsall Hall.
We believe she will remain there during the Christmas
holidays, enjoying a little quiet and retirement, after her
long and arduous campaign, until again called to the
metropolis by the opening of the next operatic season.

A statement of the annual accounts was laid on the

each member, preparatory to its consideration at the

next meeting,

A letter was received from the General Telegraph Com-

in the electric telegraph, by which they could give facilities
in the working of the dock arrangements. The Company
proposed to erect a complete and perfectly insulated two-
wire telegraph, at £65 per mile, and if the proposal were
approved, they would undertake the work immediately.

it was considered that the Dock Trust were not yet
ready to entertain the proposal, and after some conver-

In the sitting of the National Assembly on Wednesday,
the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the Minister for the
Interior, gave certain explanations as to the alleged mea-
sures of severity which had recently been adopted in the
treatment of Spanish refugees. It was reported on the
Bourse that in consequence r.f the recent arrivals from
Rome.the expedition to Civita V,rchia would be stopped.
On Tuesday, upwards of 1200 National Guards, with
the colonel at their head, had an audience of General Ca-
vaignac in his garden, congratulating him upon his de-
fence on Saturday last, and expressing the confidence they
entertained of his character and conduct. Gen. Cavaianac

The Paris jourrnal, the Reform, hints rather signifi-

ware 35110 troops to the assistance of the Pope, was
merely an electioneering manoeuvre, to forward his ambi-
tion in obtaining the presidency.
The. number of burials in Paris, which amounted to
21,505 in 1845, rose in 1846 to 23,822, and to 24,187 in

kept some good cider in his cellar ; he wore broad
cloth and top boots on market days and Sundays ; he
was a churchwarden, and all the boys and labour-
ers in the parish touched their hats to him when
they met him ; he was up early and late ; he worked
hard himself, and never indulged in any extravagance, and

hundred pounds poorer than when be left his lather's
house nine years before ' • he had a wife and five children,
and saw more chance of five more than of being able to
save £lOOO for them. He determined to emigrate ; his wife
who was a spirited woman, encouraged him : he sold off
everything, and sailed for New South Wales about seven-
teen years ago. He bought 500 acres of fine rich land,
unencumbered with trees, from a person who had
received a grant from the Crown ; got a slab hut
built, and had to wear fustian and work like a labourer ;
he was far away in the country, almost alone. For five
years he had few comforts, but in ten years he had a good
house over his head, a good farm, his own freehold. grow-
ing plenty of wheat and indian corn, a herd of first-rate
horses, 1000 head of cattle, and ten children, all of whom
he bout(' provide for with land and cattle, without putting
his hand in his pocket. By this time, no doubt, his elder
daughters are all married, and the sons he took out com-
fortably settled. What. would he have been in England,
with such a family, as a tenant farmer?
But every man, before setting out as an emigrant,

Thence she went to Brighton, where she sang at
a morning concert, on Monday the 30th ult. and per-
formed in " Sonnarnbula" and " Figlia del Reggimento',
on the following Wednesday and Friday. The morning
concerts were very well attended, but the operatic per-
formances were only indifferently so. These were Mdlle.
Lind's last operatic performances on her tour, as M.
Roger was then compelled to leave this country to fulfil
his engagement at Paris. On the Wednesday following,
there was a concert at Southampton, which was well
Atended ; and on Friday, one at Clifton, in the assembly
The room, which will hold 'about 1000 persons,
was crowded with a fashionable and enthusiastic audience ;
it was splendidly decorated for the occasion, and, as a
room for singing. Mdlle. Lind expressed herself highly
pleased with it. This was followed by concerts at Bath,
Cheltenham, Gloucester, and Leamington, all of which
were numerously attended by audiences. who received
Mdlle. Lind very cordially. An intended concert at
Cambridge was obliged to be relinquished, in consequence
of Mdlle. Lind having been indisposed for a few days.
On Friday she sang at Oxford, in the theatre of tl'e
Senate House, which will accommodate 4,000 persons,
and which was well filled. Last night she sung at Leeds,
for the benefit of the members of the band and chorus
accompanying her throughout her tour. We have heard
that, after singing at Leedso.Mddle. Lind is tb sing at a
charitable concert at Birmingham, (at which she gives
her services gratuitously), and we believe that she will
not sing any more in the provinces at present, with the
exception of the two concerts in Manchester, for the
benefit of the Royal Infirmary. Although Mdlle. Lind
has received several invitations from the principal resi-
dents in the different places she has vilified, she. has in-
variably declined them on account of the shortd6i of her
stay, and has gone to an inn. In Mancliester, however,
she is expected to remain probably 'for some weeks, the
guest of Mr. and Mrs. Sails S nbe, Crumpsall Hall.

JENNY LIND'S VOICE LOZENGES,

VOICE LOZENGES, and that I have found them very useful in
strengthening and clearing the void

" JENNY LIND."

IHE Proprietor feels the greatest confidence in
recommending these very excellent LOZENGES to the
Public, having received the most satisfactory assurances of
their great utility from iminerous persons who have, since their
introduction, made constant use of them. He would strongly
urge Clergymen, Singers, Public Speakers, &c., to avail them-
selves of the great itivaiitage to be derived from the continued
use of them. They will also be found highly valuable for
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, and Sore Throats.
TESTIMONIAL FROM THE CELEBRATED SCOTTISH VOCALIST,

JOHN WILSON, ESQ

0%/11.•• •• _
" I seldom have recourse to Lozenges, or other remedies for
the voice, but a short time ago, when in Tamworth, I felt my
voice a good deal out of order, and was recommended to try
some of Mr. Belton's 'JENNY LIND VOICE LOZENGES,' which
I did, and derived the greatest benefit from them.
" Edinburgh, 26th March, 1848."
TESTIMONIAL FROM MISS GEORGIANA BENNETT, LECTURER

ON POETRY.
"Sir,—l think it but justice to you to acknowledge how much
benefit I have derived from the use of your VOICE LOZENGES.'
By taking several of them before I begin a lecture, I find that
I can speak with much less effort, and for a longer time, than
I can without them. They have the advantage, too, of being
pleasant to the taste, and will prove invaluable to all public
speakers and singers.

all she possessed. Two other indictments—one for mar-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

On Saturday, Forster, a young man, was brought be-
fore the county magistrates, at the office in Clayton-

Ralph
Forshaw, of Burscough, in this county. He had
stolen, it appeared, a watch, £l5 in gold, £2 in silver,
and some other articles. The prisoner was committed to
Kirkdale Gaol for trial at the proximate assizes.
ILLICIT DISTILLATION.—On Wednesday, an old Irish-
woman, named Biddy Conolly, was sent to gaol for three
months, for having a whisky-still at her house, and the
materials for making the spirit. The prisoner lived in a
street near St. Martin's Church, and an officer of police
detected her, and took her into custody. She was fined
£3O, and committed in default of payment.
CAUTION TO HOUSEKEEPERS.—On Tuesday, an Irish
beggar, named Cunningham, was apprehended at the
Lack of the house of Mr. Morrish, Hayman's-green, West
Derby, with a quantity of silver plate, which he had con-
trived to reach through a window which he had opened.
He was observed by the cook at Mr. Edwards's, next
door, and the alarm being given he was secured, and neat
day committed to the sessions.
