money by that profession.

one elector in every 151 individuals, the total population
being estimated at 34,000.
THE TRUTH.—The debate:on the motion of Mr. Villiers
can hardly be expected to excite much interest either in or
out of doors.—Whig Erenina Journal.
THE BLANKET TRADE AT WlTNEYl—Considerable relief
has been felt by the poor weavers of this town, by a govern-
ment order for 20,000 blankets, which arrived a few days
ago, and although the prices paid for each " stock" of weft
are rather less than what have been usually paid, the order
will give employment to this class of people for some time
to come.— Oxford Herald.

As the period within which it had been determined that the
Quintuple Treaty for the abolition of the slave trade should
be ratified would have expired on Sunday, the plenipotentia-
ries of the five Powers met on Saturday for that purpose at
the Foreign Office. Lord Aberdeen exchanged ratifications
with the plenipotentiaries of Austria, Russia, and Prussia ;
but as the French Ambassador had not received the ratifica-
tion from his Court, it was agreed that it should be left open
for him to exchange ratifications with the other Powers at a
future time.

EARTHQUAKE IN CORNWALL._A violent shock of an
earthquake was felt on Thursday, at twenty-five minutes
past eight o'clock in the morning, at Falmouth and through-
out that part of Cornwall. It was accompanied by a loud
report, and subsequently a rumbling noise resembling the
upsetting of a laden cart against a house.

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.--The Hon. Member for
iiisi nowbe ingsue
Lambeth having a few evenings since, in the house of Com-
mons; enquired if it were the intention of her Majesty's,
Government to introduce a bill for regulating the Medical
Profeision, Sir James Graham replied, that during a recess.
he had communicated with many parties whom he thought
likely'to give useful information on the subject, and he had.
it under consideration to bring a measure relating thereto,
before Parliament during the progress of the present session.
This intelligence cannot be otherwise than gratifying to those
members of the profession who have, within the last few
years, so perseveringly advocated the cause of Medical Re-
form.
