PETITION TO PARLIAMENT. 1\> THE HO VOIIN.ABI.K TIIK COMMONS OF THE UNITED KING- DOM or GnEAT BHITAIN AND IRELAND, IN I'AKI.IAMKNT A3SliMW.IIL>. The humble Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of the United Kingdom oj Great Britain and Ireland, S" I' 1'1'11, 14 new tne'°d of treating various diseases, termed '-B- "1,ll; 11 VCI IAN SYSTEM," has for some years been prac- tised, in connexion with the use of certain Medicines, called MOIUSON'S VNFIKTABI.K UNIVERSAL PII.I.S," and which, in the experience of many of your Petitioners, have been attended with the most successful results, after the unavailing efforts of regular Medical Practitinneis. lliat the adoption of this System, and the use of the Medi- cines employed in it, have been so extensive, as to become a subject of Rreat public interest and discussion and have given rise to many contradictory and exaggerated statements, calcu- lated to mislead the Public. lliat your Petitioners, therefore, be* most earnestly to ex- press their hope, that a subject so intimately connected with the interests ol Medical Science, and the Health of the Com- munity, will be considered worthy of the attention of your Honourable House and that you will be pleased to,appoint a Select Committee, by whom the principles and practice of the Hvguiau System may be fully, scientifically, and impartially considered. And your Petitioners will ever pray^ See. Signatures for the.Peution are received by all the Agents far TMonson s Mcdicines. — Hie doctrine of Hvgeiaism has now been practised for the last ten years, during which period an immense number of cures have been performed, many after the cases had beee pronounced incurable by the faculty. This system is, how- evei, assailed by the Doctors; and why? because it enables all those attacked by illness to become their own Physicians. J his has been, and is, the sole cause for the opposition (hat e{1 raise '>>' the medical profession. AH that is meant by an universal remedy is, that proper puigalives have a natural and -powerful tendency to expel im- puulies fiotn the blood, and thereby restore health. The teude cy has, m thousands of cases, terminated in triumph ovei diseases pronounced incurable by medical men-diseases, too, ot every varied character; bit l success has not attended every application.of the same means (and who but a madman would expect it.)—yet such failures do not prove the unsuil- abi.ity of the practice, they only prove the unconquerable ob- stinacy of d,sease in advanced stages, and that lite may some- times be terminated by its Author, regardless of alfhuman means for its preservation. The supporters of this system are content to submit to any fair and impartial enquiry that maybe instituted. They ear- nestly call upon every one, whether opponents or advocates, to sign the petition. 1 MATRONS. HIS MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF BELGIUM. And most of the KOYAL FAMILY.

DEPUTATION OF DISSENTERS TO LORD MT-I-ROURNE AND Lotto JOHN RUSSELL.—About one o'clock on Friday se nOlght some attention was excited in the Strand by about 300 of the delegates of the Church-rate Abolition Society marching four abreast, to have an interview with Lord Melbourne and Lord John Russell. The Itev. Mr. Burnett, as the spokesman, communicated to their Lord- ships the resolutionsadopted on Thursday, and dwelt with some emphasis on ihe confidence which the Dissenters had in the Miniifers. Mr. Burnett acknowledged that they had great difficulties to contend with, but the Dissenters looked to them with confidence for relief. Lord Mel- bourne received the deputation and heard the address with great courtesy his Lordship stated that the deputa- tion must be aware that Lord John Russell had already given notice of a motion for leave to bring in a bill on the subject, which he believed would be perfectly satisfactory to the Dissenters. The deputation then took leave. EVESUAM ELECTION.—The election of a member for Evesham* took place on Saturday—the candidates were O. ltusfout Bowies, Esq., in the Conservative, and Lord Marfcus Hill irt t^e. Whig-Radica) interest. Mr. Bowles declared cUil^ elected by a majority of 25. On WednesAiy afternoon se'nnight, as B. B. llollins- head, Esq., wa» about to quit the University Club-house -where he had been, according to his usual custom, pe- rusing the papers—he suddenly fell on the stairs and in- stantly expired. HORRIBLE MunnF.it AT BRIOGEND, GLAMORGANSHIRE. —We have just had intelligence of a horrible murder, committed on Sunday night last, at Bridgend, the full par- ticulars of which we have not received. The unfortunate victim was a person named William Hopkins, a-publican and miller, residing at the Old Castle; he died from the effects of kicking and stabbing, having been so dreadfully cut in the abdomen as to cause his bowels to protrude. The ferocious murderer is described as It ivilliltill John, a cooper by trade, about five feet, seven or eight inches in height, dark complexion and forbidding countenance, but with an easy and plausible address; he had on when he absconded, a fustian jacket, waistcoat, and trousers, and a black coarse hat; he is about thirty-five years of age, and has short black whiskers." A reward of Twenty Pounds for his apprehension has been offered by the magistrates.— Silurian. GLOUCESTER.—On Monday se'nnight, Mary, wife of Henry Gardner, of Painswick, was fully committed to the city gaol, Gloucester, charged with forging the name of Mr. James Morris, to a bill of exchange for X 136. The prisoner'* husband had lately taken to the slock and businessiof Mr. Aaron Smith, Bell Inn, Painswick, in part payment of which the bill in question was given, without any other name than the prisoner's husband. Mr. Smith took the bill to the bank to get it discounted, but the bankers refused to do it unless another respectable name was added to it. Mr. Smith returned with the bill to Gardner, when prisoner said she could get Mr. Morris to put his name to it. She took the bill and went out for that purpose, and on her return the name James Morris was endorsed on it, but on being again taken to the bank the writing was pronounced to be a forgery. The prisoner was sooqi afterwards taken into custody. POST OfFfCE PACKETS.—The packets on the Holyhead and Liverpool, and we believe on all the stations, have been transferred from the management and.controul of the Post Office to tho Admiralty. We have before announced Sir Edward Parry, R.N., as the Directing Superintendent. The appointment is most popular; and arrangements of the gallant officer higely calculated to advance this branch of the public service.— Carnarvon Herald. In the course of (he last week the Old Well Walk; Cheltenham, has been invaded by the woodman's axe, several of its noblest elms at the end nearest the brook having been hewn down, for the purpose of throwing open the new road lately formed across the Bay's Ilill properly, and connecting it with the public highway rnnning from the Crescent at the back of the Montpellier Spa. We tTieniiorv^liis occurrence with regret: for not less than a century tlftslhobTe'avTeTiue has b"d £ n assoctatwl wth ttoe rise and progress of the town; and it forms a feature of natural beauty in the place, which, once destroyed, can never be replaced by any object equally attractive. VOTF. BY BALLOT.—The Reformers of Worcester are actively at work in assisting theirfellow-countrymen to ob- tain for the electors of the Uniled Kingdom the protection of the Vote by Ballot. On the 27th ult. a public meeting was held at the Common flall-ilie Mayor presiding, for the purpose of considering the propriety of petitioning Parliament upon this important subject. The meeting was most respectably as well as numerously attended. Aconespondentofthe Gloucester Chronicle commu- nicates the following disgraceful circumstance from Thorn- bury A fact has this day come to my knowledge of the hard-heartedness of the relieving officer of this town, which I think, ought not to be allowed to pass without nolice. At ten minutes before eleven o'clock this morning, a wo- man travelling on foot was delivered of a child in the public street in Thornbury. She had previously endured severe pangs for a considerable time, and had applied per- 19 sonally in vain to a relieving officer for a place of shelter, [n these applications she was ineffectually seconded by several inhabitants. The :elieving officer resides at the bottom of the street above-named, and at the time the in- habitants were urging the necessity of his inteiference, he aaid "There is time enough yet, I am not to be hurried." The people being most anxious to get the poor woman conveyed somewhere, all left for that purpose, and at the time the child was born there was not a person with her. The writer of this passing along the street heard her say, The dear little angel 0 my child, my child is born on these stones! She was afterwards conveyed away in blankets in a state of insensibility, and the child with her. INFLUENZA.— We regret to state this epidemic is now very prevalent in Hereford and vicinity, and in some cases has terminated fatally. It also prevails in the adjoining, counties, and throughout South Wales. At Oxford it is said two hundred people were lying dead at the same time, from the malady, but we hope it is au exaggeration. The general symptoms of the complaint are, it commences similar to catarrh or common cold, with pains in the re- gion of the stomach and buwels. The throat, head, and loins are much affected cough troublesome, and con- siderable tightness across the chest. On the first appear- ance of the epidemic, medical assistance ought to be im- mediately called in. "e '.r IIEUEFOKUSIIIUE AGRICULTURAL SuOW.—Of Monday the Annual Show of our Agricultural Society took place 111 a piece of land belonging to Charles Bulmer, Ks<]., at the 1'orlfields, between Widemarsh and Ei^n Gates, admi- rably adapled for the exhibition, and which he has several times kindly permitted the society to use gratuitously for the purpose. The show of hulls was the fInest we have witnessed; about 40 superb animals, all of them of our celebrated county breed, and, belying the old adage as savage as a bull," for they were remarkably gentle and obedient to those who had the care of thcm, were in the enclosure, and without it, about Eign-gate, weie between 40 and 50 more, mostly young, but promising candidates for prizes on future occasions. The Judge, Mr. A. D. Jones, appeared to take great care in the examination of the different animals, and was some time in determining the award of the prizes. An aged bull, and a yearling, bred by Miss Tomkins, of King's Pion, attracted general attention, arid wire much admired, The first premium for aged bulls, and the second premium for yearling bulls, were awarded to these animals by the Judge, but unfortu- nately for Miss Tomkins they did not arrive at the show meadow before the Judge had entered 011 the ground, and both the bulls were consequently disqualified from taking the prizes. A bull, bred at Croft Castle, an immense size for his age, also excited the admiration of all who saw the animal. Of the stallions, a two-year-old cart, belonging to Mr. Price, of L^pperton, shown as extra, was greatly praised by competent judges. The prizes were awarded as follow For best Yearling Bull, a Silver Goblet,to Mr. Jones. Breinton. Second-best Bull, a Purse of Three Pounds, to Ali. J. Walker, Burton. Best Two-year-old Bull, a Goblet, to Mr. Jeffries, Rose Cottage. Best Three-year-old Bull, a Goblet, to Sir It. Price, Bt., M.P. Best aged Bull, a Goblet, to Mr. J. Morris, Stockton. Best Cart Stallion, a Goblet, to Mr. Handcocks. Best Thorough-bred Stallion, a Goblet (gift of the Rev. L. reo noyre), to Mr. Devereux s Dandelion, Bromyard. There were twenty competitors for the prize for yearling bulls-six far the t-o-year. old -eight for the three-year- old-and five for the aged bulls' prizes. Four for cart, and three for thorough-bred stallions. Amongst the exhi- bitors of stock were — Mrs. Davies (Croft Castle), the Misses Tomkins, Sir R. Price, Mr. Bate, Mr. Galliers, Mr. Morris, Mr. Perry, Mr. Walker, Mr. T. Tully, Mr. West, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Roberts, Mr. J. II. Apperly, Mr. J.Turner, Mr. J. Jones, Mr. Matty, Mr. C. A. Mason, Mr. Jeffries, jun., Mr. Gluck, &c. The dinner at the Hotel was very well attended—P. Jones, Esq., of Sugwas, presiding, supported by Sir J. G. CottereU, Bart., Sir It. Price, Bart., M.P., Jas. Phillips, Esq., J. H. Burr, Esq., Fowler Price, Esq., Capt. Johnson, J. H.

Henry William Bowles Dau- beny, B.A. was licensed, by the Lord Bishop of Glouces- ter and Bristol, to the newly-consecrated Church of SI- Matthew, at Ebley, in the diocese of Gloucester and Bris- tol. The Dean and Chapter of Worcester have addressed a Memorial to the Church Commissioners regarding the va- rious propositions for reducing and re-modelling Calhe d ral Establishments, contained in the fourth Report or iiif. Board. The Dean and Chapter, declare themselves strongly opposed to "the measure, in genejal," as "fraught with evils both immediate and prospective, far outweighing the very triflinn-.advatltages which are anticipated from its adoptiort." and express the hope that the Commissioners will be induced carefully to re-consider it. At our Great Market, on Wednesday last, there was a good show both of beef and mutton, but the trade exceed- ingly dull, t&p primes! heifer beef not realising more than 6d. per lb.: fluerior 5d. to 5Jd.; mutton was also a drug 2 at 6d. Xo 7<L per lb.; but very few obtained the.latter prices -Tbeafaow of letw-stoek was rather mtmerous, and very much depressed in price; in fact it was difficult to p I get a bidding for those much out of condition.— Glouces- ter Chronicle. HEREFORD CANOLEMAS FAIR.—The exhibition of cat- tle at this fair yesterday, both as to quality and numbers, equalled that of any similar mart we have ever witnessed there was a large show of fat things, and the lean stock was very good.—The supply of sheep was excellent in all respects, and fat pigs were likewise plentiful. The de- mand for fat cattle was very slack, and stores were also in little request, owing to a few graziers and dealers having attended the mart—Fat cattle sold from 51d. to 6d. per lb.; sheep from 6 £ d. to 7.).; and fat pigs, from .5d. to 5 Jd. per lb. The show of lior, as-usml was indifferent, but good animals were i after, and commanded thcii value. At Ledbury Fair nn Monday, there was a good supply of stock, the spl* of w'.x t. WHS very dull: fat animal's averaged 6d. )fr lb.— C'^se (of which there was a re- markably sim I quantity pitched) sold at the following prices: B"t 70s. to 74s.; Seconds, 54s. to 64s.; and skim 40s. to 46?. INCF.NMARISM,— On Wednesday night a shed and other buildings on the Withers' Farm, in the parish of Led. bury, were set on fire by some scouudrel as yet undis- covered, and totally distroyed. POACHER SnoT.—On Sunday morning a poacher, named Smith, was shot by his own gun in Bafferton Spring Wood, near Boroughbridge. lie had been loading his gun, and while striking the butt against the ground, for the purpose of forcing the powder into the nipple, the piece went off, and lodged the contents in his head, blowing his skuU to atoms.

THE WELSH LANGUAGE IXMSI'F.NSANT.E TO TilE WF.I.SK CLliIlOy.-At a County Meeting recently held at the Town- hall, Beaumaris,—Mr. Trygarn Grifiith in the chair,—for the purpose of respectfully protesting against the tithes of so poor a see as Bangor being transferred from a poor county like theirs to maintain bishoprics in the richest parts of Englaud. During the proceedings, Mr. J. Williams said,—There was anoshei object connected with the purpose fcr which the meeting was called. It was not exactly in point of form competent for I:im to introduce it, but should any objection be taken upon that ground it was competent for him to move the adjournment ot the county meeting pro forma, and move that Air. Trygarn Griffith take the chair in his private capacity. There was a clause not introduced into the Act of Parliament. That clause ought to be to prohibit any person to hold a benefice in Wales, who was not competent to discharge the duties and perform the functions of his office in the language of the country. The want of such a clause has been severely felt by all the sincere friends of the Established Church. The necessity for a Bishop to understand the language of the people has been controverted upon two grounds, one a dictum of the Archbishop of Canter- bury, that a bishop was pastor pastorum and net pastor populi the other that it interferes with the prerogative of the Crown, lie denied both propositions. The King could not do what was unlawful. lie had no right to induct a person that was not a Welshman. To question the dictum of the Archbishop's might in this part of the world be deemed presumptuous, but he would not be afraid. From the canons of the church and all ecclesiastical authorities he would maintain that the bishop was pastor populi as well as pastor pastorum. The bishop is directed to preach to the people. The bishop has a duty to per- form in the ceremony of confirmation, and is to pray over those whom he is confirming. What was good law on the point in Bangof was good law in London. If to know the language of the people be not required in Bangor, a knowledge of the language of the people cannot be requited in London. The Bishop of London to be pastor pastorum need not be ac- quainted wilh the English language, for all his clergy were highly educated, and all his communications with them ought to be carried on in the Latin or other learned languages. Then uuder the Archbishop's dictum the King may appoint to the see of London a good Lutheran from his Hanoverian dominions, who could talk with his clergy, or preach in the Hanoverian chapel, or some other chapt-l in a bye street, whilst at St. Pauls or Westminster the gnu" nun would be mule. A Bishop of London, granted to be » ¡!II"" lIIan, would know nothing of the people or the ciers' ev< rj t he brought over a sleani-hoat full with him from Genriany. 'P-ev should soon see the churches about London filitl wiiii ;ii,it,i,lu;kls so unacquainted with the English idiom as I.. reudei the performance of the church ser vice a moekft\, liow curious it would sound to hear the ser. vice began wu dearelee bill hoofed bnty therein," and if tree sail Iwoi h 11 If no shins wnoi disboie otn shel/s." (Great laughter was produced whilst Mr. Williams was giving specimens of ttte performance of service by persons ignorant of the language.) Persons might laugh, but 1l1.1t has l»een the state of Wales for the last 150 years. His observations might be deemed invidi. ous, but when the see was filled by so good a man as the pre- seut bishop, whom he said was as good and as conscientious a man as ever took upon him the priesthood, he thought it the proper time to call attention to the vices of the system. See what the working of the system had been. The fiist Protestant bishops were Welshmen, learned in. the Welsh language. They translated the Bible into the Welsh language, for the benefit of their flocks. Their successors could not even read the language of the country. Let them fancy the first English bishop going to confirm in a foreign languge, prayiog over the children in a language which they did not understand. What must people think of a church wheie its articles can be set aside or observed at the conveniency of the Hierarchy. He should like to see the casuist in the face of the 39 articles, who would at- tempt to show the difference between the necessity of a know- ledge ol the people in Bangor and in London. The bishops have felt the difficulty, and to get over it have learnt by role to repeat the words of a short prayer like a parrol indeed he thought a young parrot might be taught it better than an old bishop. They ought to remonstrate against such a state of things. They ought to memorialise to be protected against bishops be- ing appointed to dioceses in Wales who do not know the Welsh language, and in violation of the 39 articles. He moved that petitions be prepared praying for such protection. (Applause.)

THE INFLUENZA.—Two facts connected with the prevalent epidemic must press themselves on the notice of every member of the roilimuuitv-tlie number cut off by it, and the seventy with which it attack? the old. The daily obituaries in the newspapers are swelled ptodigiously beyond their ordinary di- mensions, and we question whether, even in the cholera times •hose lists weie so heavy. The inference fiom this, perhaps is not exactly that the mortality is greater, but that it falls mole on people in the upper and middle classes. Were we called upon to point out the character and distinctive features of the prevailing disorder, we should say lliat its chief peculiarity has consisted in the extent to which the lungs have been implicated the mucous membranes lining the air passages being in many cases inflamed, and, after a few days, overloaded with viscid secretion iutcifering with the allerializaiion of the blood. TIe oppression of bieathing is in many cases urgent, and attended by great pain along the lower edge of the ribs, and in the epi- gastrium. The pulse is for the most pait soft. and depletions are borne very badly in those in whom they are carried too far delirium is apt to supervene. Numerous cases have proved fatal, and post mortem examination has shown the membrane lining Ihe air-passages to be inflamed, from the trachea into its minutest ramifications, with condensation of por'ions of the lung, but the pleura suffering comparatively seldom. Even in lighter cases the recovery is tedious, and the patients go eiuui" bling on for many days, with loss of appetite, great languor and something of 1\1. humour. 1 he cause of the general wizure is freely talked of as no mystery. It is traced to the chance which so suddenly occurtcd in the atmosphere, from great dry. ness to great humidity, both states being accompanied with a severe depression of temperature. It was not any remarkable alteration in the degree of temperature that gave rise to the morbid consequences, for we have had scarcely an hour of watm or even temerate weather these six weeks, but the profu- sion of cold damp moisture with which the air became loaded on the occurrence of the thaw has been, undoubtedly, a main source of the disorder. The persons most susceptible to its in- fluence are the elderly this may be considered as a peculiarity of the dtsordei, for on other occasions the young and adult have been equally, if not more, exposed.—Medical Gazette. My physician tells me, that about a month ago a. Hajllte, whose hand was shattered, came to him to have it taken off' He moved not a muscle during the operation, but keptmur" murmuring prayers from the Koran. He said that he had bought a pair of pistols from the son of a Marabout, and not' paid for them that the Marabout, after vainly reproaching him, had denounced the vengeance of heaven upon the false hand that did not fulfil engagements. The very next day he had fired his pistoi, when it had buist, and shattered his hand lie had paid his debt, and then sought surgical assistance. The physician, in a short time healed the stump, and dismissed him, having bespoken for him an iton hand, which the Arab was to come for on an appointed day.

On the 26th I fell in with the American schooner, William Wirt,Samuel Smith, master, of and from Boston, for Rio de Janeiro. She had a signal of distress flying; and on bearing down upon her it proved that part of the crew had mutinied on the 23d and murdered the mate with a harpoon, and that they afterwards went down to the captain's berth, and brutally cut his bowels open. The rest of the crew had retaken ^possession of the vesio 1, aiiii in so doing killed the ringleader, a Spaniard. ThfoY having no navigator on board, I sent my mate, Mr. Molfett, to take charge of the schooner, and he brought her mto'-this Juj-hour in safely. „The captain died 20 hours after we Tfiact fallen in wTiii ttie sIup.
