AT a MEETING composed of REPRESENTA- TIVES of various WELSH CONGREGATIONS of PROf EST ANT DISSENTERS, in the town of LI- VERPOOL, convened on WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 81, 1847, at the INDEPENDENT CHAPEL lilLOWNLOW-I-IILL, to take into consideration the Minutes of the Committee of Council on Education, recently laid before Parliament by her Majesty's Govern- ment, especially in the probahle bearing of the measure developed in these Minutes, on the social and religious condition of the Principality of Wales, Rev. JOHN HUGHES in the Chair, The following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Moved by Mr. E. Hughes; seconded by Mr. W. Ev,-tlls That this meeting, feeling the deepest interest in the spread of popular education through the country, rejoice in the conviction they are able to cherish that extraor- dinary progress has, within the last fifty years, been made w the Principality of Wales, in enlightening the minds and elevating the character of the community, principally through the voluntary zeal and liberality of the various bodies of Protestant Dissenters. Moved by the Rev. William Rees; seconded by Rev. John Roberts :— That this meeting takes the opportunity now afforded, f.9 protest, in the strongest manner, against the grossly exaggerated and erroneous representations that have been made at various times, both in and out of Parlia- ment, as to the ignorance and moral and social degra- <?tiMi of the Principality of Wales, by parties whose good intentions they have no desire to impugn, but of whose utter incompetency (from their ignorance of the language and social habits of the Welsh people) to pro- nounce an authoritative and trustworthy judgment on the subject, most ample and conclusive evidence can be produced. Moved by the Rev. R. Thomas; aecouded by Rev. Joseph W*Illa That this meeting, desisting of natives of W?lea, and "innately acquainted with the state of society there, so ?.?'m acquiescing in those representations, express thV "fm and conscientious belief that the great body of t e ?Ish people are, both in respect of their religious knoivledl anx moral habits, not below, but rather above, any.population ? the same class in this Kingdom, as is pro\ed by thc all bnt universal ability of the people to Z. ? Scriptures intelligently in their own language the great extent to which reading, both in Welsh and nglish, prcyails among them, as shown by the extensive circulation whicjiy publications in both languages obtain in the country; and especially by the well known and admitted fact, that in the Principality of Wales there is a less amount of crime, in proportion to the population, t4an in any part of the United Kingdom. Moved by the Rev. Henry Jtees seconded by John Jones, Esq.:— That, looking at the probable operation of the measure 01 e ducation, developed in the Minutes of Council, on the principality, this meeting is of opinion that it is likely to V^ar^ith peculiar hardship and injustice on that part of the dbuatry for the following reasons :-That the great bulk of Ike Welsh people are, from principle, taste, and education, strongly attached to the sentiments and teach- es of the various bodies of Protestant Dissenters by Whom their spiritual wants have been almost exclusively supplied for the last century whereas the tendency of "Us measure is either to bribe their children out of wieir own schools into the schools of the National llurch, or compel them to accept grants of public money on conditions at variance with principles and, convictions which they are well known conscientiously to cherish. Moved by the Rev. T. Pierce; seconded by T. P. Jones, Esq.:— That the great injustice of this measure in its bearing uPon the Principality, by throwing such preponderating Power into the hands of the Established Church, further appears from the fact, that the Welsh people by sustained d strenuous exertion of Voluntary liberality and zeal, With little sympathy, encouragement, or aid from the Higher classes of the community around them, and in tne midst of deep poverty, have provided for themselves the means of religious worship and instruction more fully and adequately than can be found, perhaps, in any part of the world, as is proved by the fact of the erection Or enlargement, within the last century, of more than two thousand chapels in Wales (besides a large number Of school-houses), within the walls of which, it is scarcely too much to say, the whole population may be, "nd to a great extent actually is, periodically gathered for instruction and worship. Moved by the Rev. Thongs Hughes seconded by John Evans. Esa.:— That, in order to meet the pressing wants of the .com- munity in regard to education, there has been formed throughout Wales, and in actual operation for many year*, a system of Sunday-schools, which covers the whole country with its organization, where not only the children, but a large proportion of the adult population, Assemble every Sabbath-day for mutual instruction, by Cleans of which the people almost universally attain a Iskrgc amount of sound Scriptural knowledge, whose Influence on the mind and morals* of the community fcas been most extensive and beneficial, while, in the conviction of this Meeting, the tendency of the proposed Scheme of Education is in various ways to undermine, and eventually in many places utterly to destroy, these excellent institutions, so endeared to the Welsh by long experience of their inestimable value to the character of their country. Moved by Rev. R. Williams; seconded by D. Ro- berts, Esq. That, in addition to this system of Sabbath-schools, great and successful efforts have been recently made in 'ilios parts of the Principality to erect school-houses establish efficient schools for daily instruction, show- abg that the Welsh people are alive to the importance of An improved education for their children, and earnestly disposed to supply the present lack of Day-schools, by (Putting forth the same generous exertions of voluntary Christian zeal, by means of which they have already 6() amply provided for their religious wants, but which, in the judgment of this Meeting, the present measure of Government has a strong and direct tendency to tepref;it, discourage, and extinguish. Moved by Owen Elias, Esq.; seconaed by E. P. Jones, Esq. That past experience proves, how unacceptable, to the SFeat majority of the" elsh people, would be that class Schools which this measure would unnaturally force into existence by dint of Government patronage seeing that the (so-called) National schools already established lfi the Principality are, to a great extent, inefficient for the practical purposes of education, on account of the exclusive and sectarian character of the regulations they *dopt, and the insurmountable repugnance which the People consequently feel to send their children to them for instruction; so that, in many places, these schools, -hil.e furnished with good buildings and high patronage, ALrg almost destitute of any children to instruct. Moved by the Rev. D. James; seconded by Mr. Samuel Jones:— That for these special reasons, arising out of the as- pect which the measure bears towards Wales, as well as other objections which they entertain against it, in com- tnor, with the large body of the friends of civil and re- "gious liberty throughout the Kingdom, this meeting earnestly recommend their friends in the Principality to lose no time in sending Petitions to Parliament for the total and entire rejection of the measure. Moved by the Rev. John Jones; seconded by Mr. W. Jones: That the above resolutions be advertised in the follow- ing papers :—" Morning Chronicle," Patriot," Liver- P09I Mercury," ««Couirer," and Amserau," the Car- n.arypn Ilejald," and "Welshman."

BORTHWICK CHALLENGES the whole DMedical Profession to produce Testimonials equal to the following:—We, the undersigned, haviug ex- perienced the beneficial effects of Borthwick's Gout Tincture, most of Us having used it for six and seven years, can recommend it to those who are afflicted with Gout, as a safe and speedy cure. This invaluable Medi- cine instantly relieves the pain, and removes the most severe attack in two or three days, carrying along with it the excellent quality of strengthening the constitution and, what is most extraordinary; continuing to have the same effect upon us as when we first used it-a circum- stance that is perhaps unparalleled, and which merits the high encomium bestowed upon it by Lord Francis Egerton, M.P., who has said (in a letter to James Loch, Esq., M.P.) that it is the greatest discovery in the annals of medicine, mercury and bark, not exciepted. Aiid as we are anxious to extend the benefit of this medicine to the poor, afflicted with this disease, knowing, as we do, the great increase of it amongst the more humble classes, we feel deeply impressed with the necessity of the hu- mane and wealthy joining us in the laudable under- taking, whereby a fund might be raised to establish, upon a permanent footing, an Institution, so as our views may be carried into effect. First Resolution, proposed and unanimously agreed to—" That the sum of £1 Is. be subscribed, which will entitle each Subscriber to Seven Tickets, to be distri- buted to the necessitous poor, afflicted with Gout, Rheu- matism, and Sciatica.

Secnd, near Melksham, Dec. 8th, 1846. Sir,—I was troubled with a bad Asthmatic Cough for twenty years, 'till I heard of your COUGH LOZENGES, through the Newspapers, and with gratitude I send you an account of my cure. My cough was so bad in 1843, 4, and 5, that I was scarcely two months without being under the Doctor's care; at the end of 184-5 I was so very ill with it that my wife and friends, and even the Doctor, gave me up; I could not walk across my room and the phlegm nearly choked me; but, thauks to your valuable Cough Lozenges, they effected a complete cure; for thetirst night I took them I slept without coughing, and in a week I was quite well, and have not taken any other medicine, or been laid up one day since. I wish for the good of my fellow-suffercrs, that you would pub- lish these facts. I remain, Sir, your obedient and grateful servant, JOHN RANDELL. To Mr. Keating, 79, St. Paul' Churchyard.

Sir.-I cannot resist informing you of the extraordinary effect that 1 have experienced by taking only a few of your Lozenges. 1 had a cough for several Aveeks, that defied all that hud been prescribed for lue; and yet I got completely rid of it by taking about half a small box of your Lozenges, which I find are the only ones that relieve the cough without deranging the stumach or digestive organs, I am, sir, your humble servant, y P.

After taking three boxes of your Lozenges my cough entirety left me, and 1 have this day walked to Ross, a distance of four miles; for this almost renewal of life I am solely indebted to your Lozenges. You are at liberty to make what use you please of this letter, and 1 shall be happy to answer any ea- quiries respecting my cure. I remain, sir, our obedient and obliged servant, m Ry iboo&z. To r.

LOSS OF TEETII. Messrs. HOWARD and THOMAS continue to supply the Loss of Teeth without springs or wires upon their new system of SELF-ADHESlON, which has procured them such uni- versal approbation, and is recommended by numerous Physicians and Surgeons as being the most inMaious system of supplying artificial teeth hitherto invented. They adapt themselves over the most tender gums, or remaining stumps; without causing the least liain, reiittei-ilig the pain'ut operation of extracting quite unnecessary. They are so fixed as to fasten any loose teeth where the gums have shrunk from the use of calomel or other causes. l'hey also beg to invite those not liking to undergo any painful operation, as nraetised by most members of the profession, to inspect their painless yet effective system; and in order that their improvements may- be within the reach of the most economical, they will cun- t nue the same moderate charges.

A WONDERFUL CURE OF DREADFUL ULCEROUS SO RES IN THE FACE AND LEG, IN PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. The Truth of this Statement was duly attested before a I Magistrate. THUGH MACDONALD, of Lot o5, in' King's I' I, County, do hereby declare that a most wonderful preservation of my life has been effected by the use of Holloway sPills and Ointment; and I furthermore de- clare, that I was very much afflicted with Ulcprous Sores ¡ in my F nce and Leg so severe was my complaint, that the greater part of my nosa and the roof of my mouth was eaten away, and my leg had three ulcers on it, and that I applied to several Medical gentlemen, who prescribed for me, but I found no relief. My strength was rapidlv failing every day and the malady on the in- crease, when I was induced to try Holloway's Medicines. After taking two or three boxes, I experienced so much relief, and found the progress of the disease was so much arrested, that I was enabled to resume my ordinary labours in the held. The sores which were so disatcrec- able and repulsive to behold are now nearly all heal ed. Having received such truly beneficial aid, I feel myself bound to express my giatitude to the person by whose means I have thus been restored from the pitiable and miserable state I was in and for the sake of humanity make known my case, that others similarly situated might be relieved g (Signed) HUGH MACDONALD. This declaration made before me, at Bay Fortune, the 3d day of September, 184o JosEptt COFFIN, Justice of the Peace. The above case of Hugh Macdonald, of Lot 55, came nersonallv under my observation; and when he first ap- plied to me to get some of the Medicines, I thought his case utterly hopeless, and told him that his malady had got such hold that it was only throwing his money away to use them. He, however, persisted in trying them, and to my astonishment I find what he has aforesaid stated to be nerfectly correct, and consider the case to be a most wonderful cure. (Signed) WM.

f MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE..!
f MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. The Admiralty have affurded G. G. Muøtl, Esq., M.P., an opportunity of testing his patent metal in sheathing the Champion," man-of-war, at Portsmoitth. A chemist of Vienna is said to have discovered a simple process for making pleasant wholesome bread (why not bread and butter ?) out of oil cake. Nettles have been selling of late in Preston at 3d. per pound. The marriage of Lord Alfred Paget, M.P., fourth surviving son of the Marquis of Anglesey, with Miss Cecilia Wyndham, second daughter of the Countess of Listowel, by her first husband, the late George Thomas Wyndham, Esquire, of Cromer Hall, Norfolk, was solemnized on Tuesday, at Saint James's Church, Pic- cadilly, in the presence of a select circle of the friends of both families. A monument to Lord Byron at Missolonghi is spoken of, to be erected on the site of the now demolished house in which he died. The proprietor aS offered the ground for the purpose, and a subscription towards the work has been commenced. Two cargoes of excellent Irish potatoes, about 150 sacks, have been received at Glasgow from London- derry We are informed that the apple-trees in Devonshire l present a fine appearance of bud some of them are already in full bloom. On dit that a scheme for an alteration in the present game laws is under the consideration of government. I M. Soyer has exhibited his model kitchen, &c., to the Lord Lieutenant, who as a thing of course, pro- nounced the soup excellent, differing fumewhat from I turtle, but most excellent soup. In 1783, the number of British subjects in North i America, wao 193,001), it is now estimated at I 2,250,000. A man incautiously walking on the Lincoln Railway, last week, was overtaken by a train. A projection of the engine sent him flying with extreme velocity nearly ten yards into a ditch. Strange to say, he was but slightly injured. The Pacha of Damascus, lately issued a proclama- tion, enjoining the women of that city to be more strictly veiled when they went abroad, and declaring that he would cut off the noses of all who disobeyed his orders. For the last week, says Mr. F. Robinson, in the Medical Times, I have been using as an agent for re- suscitating patients after inhaling the vapour of ether, pure oxygen gas, with the most perfect success. Wharton, a schoolmaster of Adelaide-crescent, Brigh- ton, has been fined jE5 by the magistrates for cruelly and unnecessarily chastising a pupil. Mr. Jabez Marriage Gibson, a Quaker, has become a member of the Church of Rome. Two years ago, when on his travels, h. used to discuss religious topics with the Bishop of Imola, now Pope Pius IX. The committee of the British Association, have an- nounced the total amount of their subscriptions up to yesterday to be E362,676 2s. 4d. The Famine Relief Fund, in connexion with the National Society yesterday reached E16,147 16s. Id. The Newry Examiner says—" Every acre of land fit for oats, from Dundalk to Clones, has been sown, an extent of 45 English miles." Parsons and Hickton, two of the policemen against whom the Essex grand jury found a true bill for perjury in connexion with the Dagenham murder, have ab- sconded; the third, Kimpton, has been committed to prison in default of bail. The new comet, with a tail 5,000,000 of miles from its head, as it is quaintly described by the Globe, passed its perihelion on the 30th March.. For-twenty days or more it was visible to the naked eye "in the constellation An- dromeda, as a star of the fourth magnitude. Some excitement took place in Reading last week, on account of a man named Kitchen, and others, fore- telling the approach of the Day of Judgment. Kitchen had prepared a scarlet and white robe, in which to head a procession he, however, disappeared to avoid being ducked by the navvies. Orders arrived on Friday morning at Portsmouth and Woolwich for the immediate embarkation of a battalion of marines for Lisbon, and we believe the same order has been forwarded to Plymouth and Chatham. The Woolwich and Portsmouth detachments embarked this afternoon in the Sidon steam-frigate, and left instanter for their destination. The Sidon is ordered to return to England immediately after the disembarkation of the troops. The Oxford Protestant Magazine states'that the Archbishop of Canterbury has sent to Dr. Pusey, de- siring a private chaplain to be reconvuended to him, and that the doctor has recommended the Rc, B. Har- rfson, uncivilly called Dr. Fuse j '6 jackal." A contract for one thousand houses has lately been entered into, to be built at Stratford, chiefly for the convenience of persons in the emplorment of the Easteru Counties railway, who intend to remove their workshops and manufactories there, and to call it Stratford New Town. Preparations are also being made for the erec- tion of a large number of houses on an eligible site near the next station on the line at Ilford, to which the name of Ilford-on-railway will be given. My lord, the railway king," says the Yorkshireman, has abdicated his iron throne, and temporarily assumed that of all the Dogberries." —My lord the king, it appears, has withdrawn his advertisements from all the north-country papers that have hinted a fault in his majesty's ways. He seems in a rapid way of attaining another sovereignty—that of the snobs. At Powick Church, Worcestershire, on Sunday se'nnight, about twenty of the congregation, were re- ducd to a fainting condition, by sulphureous vaponr from the stoves used in warming the building. t The IVest Briton states, that the application of coal- tar, as a remedy for the potato blight, has, in some instances, destroyed the vitality of the seed. The general fast was observed by the English resi- dents in Paris, in the same manner as in England. Count Roy, formerly Minister of Finance under the | restoration, and reputed to be the most wealthy landed j proprietor in France, died in Paris on Saturday morning; he is reputed to have left a property of £ 80,000 a year. The manufactures of Vienna are in a state of great depression, and most of the cotton spinners have been ) forced to lessen the number of their workmen. The Indian government has resolved, at the request of the council of education of Bengal, to found a uni- versity at Calcutta, on the model of the University of London. A Neapolitan surgeon, named Calvelleri, is said to have succeeded in dissolving stone in living persons by the use of electricity. Some tea which has lately been grown in the Indian district of Kunsoor, is said to be fully equal in quality to the finest Chinese teas and its cultivation is expected to prove profitable. Among the Romans, the gift of a ring was a badge of liberation from slavery. Married people may best explain (observes a .sarcastic bachelor) whether it is so among the moderns. Seuor Mon, the late Spanish Minister of Finance. was, about four years ago, a kind of clerk to Count Toreno, and lived in a poor lodging house in Madrid, at the rate of half-a-crown or three shillings a day, but he is now supposed to be worth £ 500,000. The Italian aeronaut, Orlandi, who has made four hundred and twenty ascents with success, is said to have completed a machine which will enable him to control the balloon in the air, and to guide its direction with certainty. The Eastern Counties Railway started a fourth class train of open carriages for the purpose of conveying passengers to the different stations along the line, at the cheap rate of one halfpenny per mile. The new railway bridge across the Susquehanna, at Harri^burg, is an immense structure. It is about 4000 feet long, built upon the improved double-latticed plan. There are 23 spans, averaging 173 feet each, and two arched viaducts, one 53 feet and the other 84 feet long. The entire cost of this immense structure ia short of 100,000 dollars. The New York and Buffalo Magnetic Telegraph Company have established the fact that magnetic tele- graphs, when well managed, are safe and profitable investments. They have declared a dividend of 3 per cent, for the five months ending 7th February. This is the first dividend ever declared. The earnings of, the line have been A:11,000 since 7th September, of which the expenses have absorbed about one-third. Of this dividend the patentees get £2700, which may be considered the first practical result of this great discovery.

NEW .\1\;0 TRUB.-A pretty cliild-acharuiing three- year-old-was not long ago, presented with that most tormented of pets, a nursery kitten, saved from the noyade that awaited the birth of its brothers and sisters. A short time afterwards, the child's mamma added two members to the family circle, in the shape of twins On being taken into the nursery to see them, she gazed on them for some time, looking from one to the other with much curiosity. Then, patting one of their plump little cheeks with her rosy finger, she said, I think we will keep this one, papa.Tlte Mati in the Moon. A HIST AS TO REFEktENCES From an useful little pamphlet, entitled" The People's Important Guide," we give the following :-Svindiers often refer to private persons, or to Some office of their own party.

THE GENERAL ELECTION. Yve believe we may confidently announce that every effort will be made by the government to bring the business of the session of parliament to a. speedy termination, with a view to a general election. We hear that it is considered not un- likely that the prorogation wilt take place some time in June, and the dissolution will immediately follow. The legislature must, of course, assemble soon after the election has terminated, but it is very doubtful whether any other than the necessary business, such as the election of a speaker, &c., will be entered upon.-Man. chester Guardian. NORTH WALES MINING compAiv.-The prospec- tus, of this excellent company, has, we are given to understand, been very generally circulated; and, from the favourable reports given by practical and experienced mining agents, as also the assays made, which accompany the same, the property possessed by the company would appear to hold out good promise of favourable results attendant on the active prosecution of the workings of the several setts already secured. These comprise an extent of upwards of 1000 acres, and are situate in the locality of Dolgelly. in the county of Me- riooeth, having been partially worked, and ores of con- siderable produce raised machinery and the necessary buildings have been erected, but which require extension, as also the underground workings, so as to work the mines effectively. The mines are four in number—via.: the Tyddynygwladis, Ctogan, Vigra, and Dolfrwynog— and are held under lease from the Crown and others, for a term of from 21 to 23 years; at a royalty ranging from l-10th to 1-12th. The first-named contains silver-lead and copper lodes—the former being, however, deemed the most important, from the quantity of silver contained in the lead ore and, further, the ascertained existence of gold, which in one assay, we find, produced, in addition to 76 per cent. of lead, with 14; ozs. of silver to the ton, no less than 11 om. 3 dwts. of fine gold. Other assaye give 14 and 15i- ozs. of fine gold, with a produce of fine silver in the several samples tried, of 94, 131, 14, 105, 40, 119, and: 60 ozs. to the ton of lead. At Clogan and Vigra Mines, which are contiguous to each other, extending over 650 acres, the copper ore assayed produces from õb to 24 per cent. of copper, with traces of gold, which we, however, assume is from the lodes containing gossan, and near to surface. Some I silver-lead ore from these grants has also been tested, I and was found to produce 31 ozs. of silver, but not rich for lead-indeed, we believe the lead lodes have only been partially tried, if at all, beyond proving them at surface. The ore raised from Dolfrwynog Mine has been found to yield from 5 to 20 per cent.; and, from the fact of many thousands having been realised from a deposit in the peat, or bog, immediately adjoining it, little doubt is entertained but that a large deposit of copper exists. We have not space to fullow the reports of the several agents, and shall, therefore, close our notice with a brief review of the prospectus under con- sideration. The mines are proposed to be worked on the Cost-book System, as securing vigilance ..f manage- I ment and economy, with perfect security, beyond a certain extent, to the shareholder, the books being open to him, and periodical meetings being held for auditing and passing the accounts. The proximity of the mines to the port of Barmouth, with a navigable river running from the base of the Clogan and Vigra Mountains is a considerable advantage—while the supply of water available for the purpose of working the necessary machinery, and the nature of the country affording facilities to drhe in adit levels, to take the lodes at very considerable depths, are held out as peculiar ad van- tages possessed by the property. Ores to a considerable amount, and of high produce, have been sold at Swansea, and there is represented to be a large quantity of ore at the surface, in a partially dressed state. The capital proposed to be raised in the first instance is 931,250, which it is assumed, with calls at future periods, of like amount in the whole, will be ample for the purposes j required. It may be observed, that the prospectus states, a large portion of the purchase-money is con- tingent upon the success of the undertaking.—Mining Journal. EDCCATION.—We do not believe that the great majority of the Church of England desire to establish an I insidious an4 compulsory- conformity. There are no j traces of such a spirit to be found at the meeting of the Church Institution at Bradford, where the ministerial measure was sanctioned only on account of its perfect fairness to all parties. It is for the same reason that we have given in our zealous support; we seek not i profit for church or sect, but fQr the universal British people, and especially for th. øperative and labouring classes, whose interests and condition have hitherto been too much neglect-d. We wish it to be recognised, that the state lias duties to the poov as well as to the rich, and we lament that any should be found who l would limit all the duciet, of governmeut to piUeeiliig the property of the latter. It was the anger which such a limitation inspired that led to the rather harsh discomfiture of the opponents of national education at Wakefield, and which is not unlikely to provoke other manifestations of the same kind in the manufac- turing districts. Working men find it difficult to understand how hostility to the church can justify injury to the nation, and why eril should be perpetuated because churchmen, in common with the rest of the nation, would profit by the substitution of good. It is to us inexpressibly painful to find men seriously con- tending that the state should only be known to the working classes of England as a constrainer, all aven- ger, and a punisher, and that it must never present itself to them as a guide, a protector, and an instructor. Until the present year, it was received as an aphorism that it was the duty of every civilised and free com- munity to provide its member with Some knowledge of their rights astnen and their duties as citizens until the present year, all publicists regarded it as a gross injustice in a penal system to punish delinquents for violating laws of which they had never heard, and for neglecting duties which they were never taught; until the present day, there was unanimous condemnation of the Spanish inquisitor, who ordered the slaughter of an American chief, for having flung down a book to wh was unconscious that anv sanctity was attached. ?h 1 0 men have lamented that punishment was unjustly inflicted on persons ignorant of the nature of crime, because they had not been taught the istmc tions between right and wrong. We feel grieved, we feel ashamed that the United States of merica, a government which has not yet existed for a century, j should possess a complete and efficient system of na- tional education, and that England sli-Olild 6e the only civilised country on earth in which the stite manijess its existence to the great body of the p?<' <o?? by means of coercion.— Daily News. SPECULATORS MISSING THEIR MARK.—The unex- pected re-appearance of large supplies of sound potatoes at all, or nearly all, the country markets, as well as in Dublin, has led to considerable speculation, and the general conclusion come to is simply this that had these stores been thrown into the market in the hard months of December and January, instea.d of being hoarded up for disposal for seed, when the scarcity, it was presumed, would treble their value, the numbers of victims of starvation would not have been nearly so for- midable as they have been. As it is, the speculators have missed the mark; prices are no higher than they were in the month of September last, and a gentleman who has travelled all through the counties of Louth and Meath, states that the people there have completely conquered their repugnance to Indian ircal as the article of food, and that they now feel convinced of its nutiitious qualities and general superiority to the long cherished potato. He further states, in proof of the growing inclination ("1" rt bread or meal diet, that Oiere is sown this spring in the county of Louth just twice the quantity of oats laid down this time twelve months.— Times. BANKING IN WALES.—The manager of the North and South Wales Bank at Portmadoc has recently published an intelligent little essay pointing out to farmers and tradespeople the advantages of keeping a banker, and explaining generally the terms on which banking business is conducted. The peculiarity of the little pamphlet which recommends it for particular notice is, that it is written in Welsh, and we should think it calculated to be extensively useful to a large portion of the population of Wales, who do not under- stand the English Language, by making them ac- quainted with the advantages they may obtain from connexion with a banker. The extensive diffusion of the essay amongst fariAers and shopkeepers would be alike useful to the banks and to the Welsh public. A similar work published some time since by Mr. Gilbart of the London and Westminster Bank proved very ac- ceptable to a large class of London tradespeople, and we think the publication of such works beneficial to the banking interest generally. This essay we suppose is the first work on banking that has appeared in the Welsh laliguage.-Allas. LOAN OF A COFFIN-—■Feeling seems to have left the people. A man died on one of the roads here lately, and his wife managed to procure a coffin, but a relation of her own died in the meantime, and she lent it for his use, and her husband lay uuburied for a fort- night.—Cork Constitution- A SCENE IN COU UT.The court at Gloucester being about to adjourn, the crier inquired whether he was to summon the Court for nine in the morning. Mr. Justice Maule, with energy, No, half-past nine. Gentlemen, I am sorry with so much business before us, to lose any tiiiie but with such a detestable and pesti- lential doghole as that in which the Judges are lodged in this city, makes it impossible fur me to stay in Glou- cester at night. I have lodged there one night, and it has made me very ill and so long as the county of Gloucester thinks proper to iodge her Majesty's Judges of assize in such an abominable hole, for that is the proper term, I must seek better accommodation in Chel- tenham, and the Court will therefore assemble at half- | past nine o'clock. The Court then adjourned. IRELAND.—Emigration from all parts of the country proceeds at a stupendous rate. The quays of Dublin resemble the halting-place of an Eastern Caravan. Crowds -of emigrants, with their separate allotments of luggage, stud every available spot. A Dublin agent has gone to Liverpool to charter vessels for the convey- ance of 1,301 families, emigrating from one Irish ■ estate! the expense to be partly borne by the landlord and partly by the tenant. A ship is filled in a day or two after being put on the berth, and the agents say a hundred vessels would not meet the demand. A Galway paper, with some truth, remarks, that if the tide of emigration continues to flow with the barns rapidity which it has done for the last r.,onli, the country will soon become desolate—so far, at least, as tho agricultural population is in question. A large majority of the emigrants are of that class which of all others can be the worst spared, being respectable and hardworking farmers, with industry and some capital. Fever continues to increase to an alarming extent in Cork, Sligo, Mayo, and various other counties, and, indeed, the pestilence exiats to a greater or less degree generally throughout the country. As yet Dublin nnd the sorroundlng metropolitan districts have escaped, but there is reason to apprehend that with the approach of warm weather the capital will also suffer as well as the provinces. In some few couuties-for instance, in Cork and Sligo-famine is still at work, but generally there appears to be a decrease of destitution. The new relief measurea,it is to be hoped, will produce a decided improvement as well in regard to the sustenance of the poor as the ravages of disease. The provincial journals mention the name of many landlordtl who are supplying seed to the small occupiers on their estates. There are, however, bitter complaints of the total indifference of several extensive proprietors, who have as yet taken no step to promote the cultivation of the land. The late reduction. of 20 per cent. in the numbers employed on the public work s is about to be followed bv another pruning, and a warning is given to finance and relief committees to take prompt and energetic measures to avert the great distress and confusion that must neces- sarily arise from so many of the destitute being thus thrown out of employment. Government appear, by dear-bought experience, to be thoroughly convinced of the total failure and ruinous effects of the public works system as a mode of alleviating the great national calamity, and, evidently impressed with that conviction, have resolved, let the consequences be what they may, to retrace their steps with all possible speed, and puslfc the new relief measure into general operation. SCOTLAND.—Dr. Chalmers is understood to be de- cidedly favourable to the Government scheme of educa- tion. When Mr. Baines was in Edinburgh, he is re- ported to have had an interview with the venerable divine, with the view of enlisting him as an ally, but found him invulnerable.—The town council of Edin- burgh, by a majority of 12 to 11, have approved of the Government scheme of education. The resolutions in its favour were moved by the Lord Provosi, who is a voluntary; and they were seconded by Bailie Mack, who is a churchman. The other councillors, composing the majority, comprise men of all parties while, with one or two exceptions, the minority is made up of voluntaries opposed, like Mr. Baines in all probability, to state education in any shape. Another public meet- ing was to be held in Glasgow on Friday, when, as dis- cussion was to be allowed, it was expected that Mr. Baines and his doctrines would receive rough handling. Matters are almost ripe for a pro meeting in Edinburgh, but perhaps some difficulty would be experienced in ob- taining clerical speakers, and custom has rendered them indispensable on a platform.—The Roman Catholics of Edinburgh have concluded the purchase of a large space of ground on the Lothian-road, for the erection of a magnificent cathedral. At present they have two chapels, neither of them possessing much architectural attraction.—Government has granted L3,000 for the completion of the buildings connected with the Univer- sity of St. Andrews. Loss OF THE TWEED ROYAI. MAIL PACKET WITH SEVENTY Two LIVF.S.—Intelligence has been received of the total loss of the above-named steam-packet, and we lament to say it was accompanied by an awful de- struction of human life, 72 persons out of the entire crew and passengers (151 in number.) having perished. A graphic but horrifying account is published in the morning papers, from which we have only space to give the following brief particulars :—The Tweed left Ha- vannah on the morning of the 9th of February for Vera Cruz and Tampico. She had Oil board 60 passengers, J 1115 bottles of qtticksilVCT, and a supply of coals for H.M steamer-Hermes, on the Gulf station. On the 10th and llth it blew heavily from the north, and tha weather being thick no observation could be taken. At 30 minutes past three, a.m., on the 12th, when the commander considered he was well to the southward of the ship's actual position, the look-out on the forecastle called" breakcrs a-head." Capt. Parsons, who was on deck, ordered the engines to be reversed and the helai to be put hard-a-slarboard. The command was instantly obeyed but the fore-sail, fore-trysail, and the fore-top- sail being set, and a heavy sea running, the vessel forged a-head, and struck with such force that the machinery was broken and the engines became unser- viceable. The ship continued to strike and roll heavily for half an hour, during which period several of the crew a!id passengers were swept from her decks. The survivors crowded to the port side of the vessel, when two of the cutters were lowered, but so overloaded that they immediately swamped, and but few of those en board contrived to regain the wreck. In a few minutes the Tweed separated iu two parts, and the survivors were compelled to betake themselves to spars and pieces of wreck, clinging to which they were floated into smooth water, inside a reef, where they managed to secure themselves. When daylight appeared, it was found that the Tweed had been drifted, by a strong current, 30 miles out of her course, to the north, and was lost on the Alacrane Reef, which is 15 miles long by 12 miles broad. The Admiralty agent, chief officer, and a boat's crew patched up the mail boat, and sailed for the coast of Yucatan. The sufferings of the sur- vivors while on the reef were intense. They were for some time deprived of water, and but scantily supplied with liquor, saved as the casks floated by from the ivreek they also saved a barrel of oatmeai and three casks of flour, which they lived upon and six men used to crawl about the reef daily to catch small fish and a few lobsters. After a time they collected parts of the wreck and constructed a stage, on which they remained, some sleeping, whilst others went out in search of food. On the third day the poor creatures found a box of lucifer matches floating, and after drying I them, were able to light fires and the engineers having contrived to make an apparatus which provided fresh water, they speedily began to cook and make uiscuita. This added much to their confort, though uncertain whether the frail boat sent for rescue would ever reach ship or land. Most providentially, however, it' fell in with the Spanish brig, Emilio, tifty-tine miles from Sisal Roads, which, after landing the boat's crew there, pro- ceeded to the reef, and amidst much difficulty, succeeded in taking off several ef the survivors, with whom she sailed for Perez. On the following day the remainder left the reef in two boats, brought by the Emilia, and got in safety to Perez. The brig then proceeded to Sisal, and. after remaining there seven days, she was chartered for Havannah, where the Avon was found, ill which all the survivors have arrived, except the Admi- ralty agent, who wa", ldt ill hospital at Havannah. It is but justice to Captain Parsons to state, that his conduct through the whole of the trying ecenes which followed the striking of the vesf.r-l appears to have been most praiseworthy. The survivors of the c;ew also appear to have bc-havi-d well, and the conduct of the inhabitants of Perez and Sisal wp.s generous and humane. The Alacranes, on which the ship is supposed to have struct is a dangerous coral reef, aboat 400 miles from the Havannah, and about 70 from the coast of Yucatan. It is considered by navigators the most dangerous part of the gulf of Mexico, the currents being so capricious and powerful in that region as frequently to carry vessels up- wards of forty mitcg out of their course in one day. lurOFTANX TO SHTPri-HS. --The Cork Record Court has been six (Jays occupied with a trial, in which Mr Oliver, an English gentleman of sporting celebrity was plaintiff, and the Cork Steam-packet Company defen- dants. It appeared that the plaintitf sent a stud of nine valuable horses, to be shipped in the Sabrina, from Cork for Bristol, but the company Substituted the Jupiter, a vessel of less power. In ascending the Avon, during a falling tide, the vessel grounded, and eight of the nina horses were drowned. One of the run in points of defence was, that cattle are invariably shipped at the risk of the owners. After a short retirement the jury came in with a verdict for the plaintiff, L1500 damages, with costs. The plaintiff's solicitor gave the jury jE50 as compensation for their trouble, which they promised to appropriate to some charitable purpose. THE IRON TRADE.—It has been resolved by the ironmaster of the Birmingham district to maintain the present prices of iron during the ensuing quarter. At Dudley, on Tuesday, it was resolved to resist any further attempts on the part of the men to exact anadvance of wages, the present rates bearing a ratio to the price of the iron very much in favour of the workmen. STUBBORNNESS.—You cannot alter the nature of some men by any force of satire as, by laying ever so many stripes on a donkey's back you can't turn him into a zebra. DR. BINNS AND IIOLLOWAY S OIXTMENT,-Dr. Binnp who was one of the principal physicians in the island of Jamaica, has expressed himself in the following manner respecting the surprising healing properties of Hoiio- way's Ointment:—"I have made many trials of this ointment in cases of chronic ulcers which several years' experience in the West Indies taught me to consider as incurable. I am now happy to say that in aU cases it was really and truly efficacii[) II s ._S Signed, E. Binns. M.D.. F.S.A.. Sco."
