T"E extraordinary properties of this medicine are thus described by ail eminent phYSICian, who says:—"After particular observation of the action of PARR'S PtLLS, 1 am determined, in my opinion, that the followin, are their true properties "First-They increase the strength, whilst most other medicines have a weakening effect upon the system. Let any one take from three to four or six pills every twenty- four hours, and. instead of having weakened, they will be found to have revived the animal spirits, and to have im- parted a lasting strength to the body. Secondly—in their operation they go direct to the disease. After you have taken six or twelve pills you will experience their eÜect; the disease upon you will become less and less by every dose you take; and if you will persevere in regu- larly taking from three to six pills every day, your disease will speedily be entirely removed from the system. Thirdly—They are found, after given them a fair trial for a few weeks, to possess the most astonishing and invigora- ting properties, that they will overcome all obstinate com- plaints, and restore sound health; there is a return of good appetite shortly from the beginning of their use whilst their mildness as a purgative is a desideratum greatly required by the weak and delicate, particularly where violent purging is acknowledged to be injurious instead of beneficial. TO PERSONS GOING ABROAD. These Pills are particularly recommended to all persons going abroad, and subjecting themselves to great change of climate. Ollicers of the Army and Navy, Missionaries, Emi- grants, &c., will find them an invaluable appendage to their medicine chests, as a preventive of the attacks of those dis- eases so prevalent in our Colonies, especially in the West Indies, where a small box recently sold for iOs. In America also its fame is getting known, and its virtues duly appre- ciated, causing an immense demand for it; and there is no county or port in the woWd where it will not speedy- be- come an article of extprSl\" traihu and general utih v. as it may be had recourse to in all cases ot sickness, with confi- dence in its simplicity, and in its power to produce relief. Nore are genuine, unless the words "1 Allies LIFE PILLS" are in White letters on a Red Ground, on the Govern- ment Stamp, pasted round each box: also the fac-simile of the signature of the Proprietors, "T. ROBERTS and Co., Crane-court. Fleet-street, London," on the Directions. Sold in boxes at Is. I g(l., and family packets at lis. each, by all respectable medicine venders throughout the world. Full directions are given with each box. PROGENY. C1IIILDREN form the most cheering picture that a ? man can contemplate. They are the support of his happiness, house, and country and unquestionably add dignity to his position in socicty. As a citizen of the state his rank is most fully recognised in the character of Husband and Father. He then possesses vested rights throughout the broad scale of creation two generations, the present and the rising, are interested in his well- being, and he may be said to creac eLllms upon the remotest posterity. With what dehght do such consi- derations fill the mind. How proudly must they swell the heart of the sire as lie surveys the ngorous offspring of a chastened love and a well-regulated constitution and with what joyous anticipations must they fill the envious bachelor, desirous to become the legislator of a kingdom of his own ? Many, unhappily, can only view the sirrht with morbid feelings of despau Conscious of incapacity to aid in the behest of the Creator they stand in gloomv hopelessness, like a scared tree in a leafy forest, and "feel to possess no title to a world where all is prolific but themselves. We make allusion to those whose solitary errors in boyhood have produced the desolation of which we speak. Some, however, owe their isolation from the hope of progeny more to others than to themselves, and arc rendered ineligible for married life by the sad effects of disease and an overwrought temperament. In both cases the view of blooming chil- dren and happy parents must produce humiliation ns well as despair. Some rush into matrimony with the object of screening themsel ves from suspicion; but in this they are foiled, for a slow moving fingci appears to single them out in society, and the childless wedded couple is invariably the subject of unpleasant remark. Where, under such circumstances, are the unhappy to flee for help ? Where arc they to learn the exact nature of their own condition ? Where seek the means of resuming the claims of Manhood and exercising the high functions of humanity ? These questions are satisfac- torily answered in a little book (embellished with 40 Coloured engravings) from the pen of Dr. LA'MERT, on the SECRET INFIRMITIES of YOUTH and MA- TURITY, and which may be had in a sealed Envelope in English, French, and German, price 2s. 6d. or, post free, from the Author, for forty-two stamps.

They have acquired a celebrity, 111 a comparatively short period, unparalleled in the annals of trade. Brocksopp, How, and Co., 2:33 and 234, Iligh- street, Southwark, London, feel confident that the su- periority of their articles and their standing in the tea market will sufifce to distinguish them from the puffing adventurers of the day.

To meet the requirements of families in Great Britain, the managers of Howqua's and Mowqua's estates have commenced shipping a SECOND GROWTH, called SEMI-HOWQUA and SEMI-MOWQUA, yvhich, while partaking of all the distinguishing qualities of the origi- nals, are, as being more economical, better adapted for ordinary consumption.

Mr. Howard's Succedaneum will keep good in India, and the Colonies for any length of time. LOSS OF TEETH. Mr. Howard continues to supply the Loss of Teeth, without springs or wires upon his new system of SELF- ADIIESION, and without extracting any Teeth or Stumps, or giving any pain whatever. This method has procured him universal approbation, and is recommended by nu- merous Physicians and Surgeons as being the most 111- genious system of supplying artificial teeth hitherto invented in all cases restoring Perfect Articulation and Mastication, and so perfectly natural in appearance as to defy detection by the closest observer. They adapt themselves over the most tender gums, or remaining roots without causing the least pain, rendering the pain- ful 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. He also begs to invite those not liking to undergo any painful operation, as practised by most Dentists, to inspect his painless yet effective system. Those in- terested in the subject will find this statement of their superiority over all others to be entirely and scrupulously col-rect. Alr.

MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. Lord John Russell has issued the usual circular to members sitting on the right of the speaker, announcing the approaching meeting of parliament, and requesting their attendance at the opening of the session. The address in the Commons will be moved by Lord Harry Vane, brother of the Duke of Cleveland, and seconded by Mr. Bunbury. Her Majesty will open par- liament in person. The Bishop of Norwich intends to present to Miss Jenny Lind a Swedish copy of the Scriptures, most elegantly bound in Morocco leather. The present Baron Auckland, (the earldom being ex- tinct), will be the first Bishop of Sodor and Man who has ever sat in the Peers. The Lord Mayor was compelled to leave London on Thursday, to attend the funeral of his mother, who died last week at the advanced age of 94. Sir H. De la Beche, the 0 eminent geologist, arrived last week at Parkwerne, near Swansea, on a visit to L. L. Dilwyn, Esq., his son-in-law. The Leeds Zoological Gardens are advertised for sale. The river Nile, in a known course of 1,250 miles, re- ceives no tributary streams. There are at present in England, ninety-four packs of fox-hounds, twenty of harriers, and four of stag hounds, which weekly advertise their meets. A new and beautiful edition of the works of Beetho- ven has just appeared at Vienna; it consists of fifty-six volumes and 4,500 pages of music. Lord Carlisle, Captain Lock, and Henry F. Richard- son, Esq., have been elected patrons of the Mariners' Friend Society. The Rev. John G. Lonsdale, son of the Bishop of Lichfield, has been appointed secretary of the National Society, rendered vacant by the resignation of the Rev. W. J. Kennedy, who is now one of the government in- spectors of schools. Sir Francis Baring, M.P. for Portsmouth, being in- capacitated from sitting, by his new place of First Lord of the Admiralty, until re-elected, has offered himself again to his old constituents. We understand, that the chief cause of postponing the appointment to the office of Frst Lord of the Admi- ralty lay in Sir F. T. Baring himself, and arose from his determination not to accept office if he were compelled to support the Income-tax.—Hampshire Guardian. Sir Fitzroy Kelly and Mr. Badely, barristers, have given it as their united opinion that it is not illegal for a licensed victualler to exhibit in his house a betting-list of a horse-race, nor even to be the depository of the money if the race be a legal one. A corporal, belonging to the Bank of England Guard, has been sentenced to four months' imprisonment for stealing a saddle of mutton intended for his officer's dinner. The first church bell which has ever been heard in Egypt since the occupation of that country by the Mos- lem conquerors, has lately been suspended in the tower of a Roman catholic church, built by the Jesuits at Alexandria. It is a coincidence worth noting, that the day of the flight of the Pope from Rome (the 2-1th November), was the anniversary of the Papal Sovereignty, the date of which was 24th November, 800. The fourth dramatic parformance took place at Wind- sor Castle, before the Queen, on Wednesday evening the piece was the Stranycr. In the London Court of Bankruptcy on Thursday, Mr. Commissioner Goulburn refused to grant the certifi- cate of a licensed victualler, named Joseph Taylor, on the ground that he was disentitled to it by the act 5th and 6th v ic. which declared that this should be the con- sequence to any bankrupt who should lose by gaming to to the extent of E20 in one day. It appeared the bank- rupt had lost a bet, but had not paid it; but the Com- missioner declared that he did not consider that it was the intention of the law to put a man who eonformel to the law of honour and honesty, by paying the amount of his losses, in a worse position than he who lost I nt j failed to pay them. The prisoners in custody for the late robbery on thej Great Western' have instructed their attorney to s;,are no expense for their defence at the next assizes, when Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., is to act as counsel for the accused, and Mr. Rogers, standing counsel to the Post-office, for the prosecution. A monster cheese from America is now in the pos- session of Mr. 1). Davis, lligh-street, W orcester. It is more than 9 feet in circumference, nearly 15 inches thick, weighs 62(ilbs. and won the first prize at the Cin- cinnati (United States) Agricultural Show last year. The Rev. G. B. Stevenson, M.A. has been elected Senior Assistant-Master in King Edward's School, Bir- mingham. There were fifty-three candidates. The very earth, indignant at the Americans repu- diating their debts, has cast up her treasures in the shape of gold to shame them into paymcnt.-Fuppet- show. The city of Damascus was in being in the time Abra- ham, (Genesis 14,) and is consequently one of the most ancient in the world. Among the recent importations from the United States, have been American partridges in considerable numbers. At Manchester, James Hoicarth, a surgeon, has been committed for trial, charged with robbing the house of a railway porter of nine sovereigns the thief, after squandering the money in a brothel in Liverpool, sur- rendered himself, and acknowledged the robbery. Lord Palmerston has consented to the proposition of the Treasury, to send Sir C. Trevelyan with a commis- sion of assistants to overhaul and revise the foreign department of the government, which his lordship pe- remptorily refused to do some time since, on the ground that if the Treasury deemed it neccsssary that the foreign establishment should be revised, they were quite competent and willing to undertake the task themselves. At the magistrates' office, Frome, on Saturday Lucy Champion, Sarah Bennett, and Ann Ashley, inmates of the Frome union-workouse, were committed for trial at the next assizes for attempting to set Are to the work- house. The body of a master bricklayer, named Watson, was found upon the beach near Dover, a few days since, with 72 small tubs of brandy attached to it by means of a long rope. It appears that the deceased was engaged in smuggling, and had waded into the water to tow the tubs on shore, when a strong tide and heavy sea are supposed to have taken him off his legs. Mr. Henry Collins, the person who has officiated at the Scottish Border marriages, at Lamberton-Toll, for a period of nearly 20 years, died last week. It is said that during the last year 330 marriages were celebrated by him after this fasviion and the usual average was upwards of 300 a-year. The fees realized from these must have been considerable. The Morning Chronicle mentions that the medical men who practise in the city of London declare that cancerous and pulmonary affections have been enor- mouslv increased of late years, by the quantity of rneat unfit for human food which is daily disposed of within the bills of mortality. The Macclesfield Courier, in an article on the late Financial Reform Meeting, says Rather than that England should be domineered over by the class which constituted the main strength of the Anti-Corn Law League, we are convinced that many of those aristo- crats, upon whose fears Mr. Cohden's friends hope to work, would take refuge in universal suffrage and vote by ballot." n' Mr. Justice Wightman has decided that dates in am- davit cannot be aided by the jurat. It is important to the profession to know that it has been decided that in all cases where an affidavit states a date so as to make it necessary to refer to the jurat for the year of our Lord or otherwise it is insufficient as the jurat cannot be referred to therefore care should be taken to insert the year in the body of the affidavit itself, instead of the words instant" or last," as has been the practice The indictment preferred against the Rev. Henry Charles Sellers, charging him with an assault of a heinous nature upon Samuel Cooper, a soldier of the Foot Guards, was ignored by the Grand Jury, at the Middlesex Sessions, on Friday. It was stated that the prosecutor, Cooper, had deserted, and it was in conse- quence of his absence that the indictment was ignored. A letter from the Rev. Francis Close, Cheltenham, appears in Friday's Times, in which he says—" Nei- ther in public nor in private have I threatened to with- draw my support from the Cheltenham hospital if the directors received the proceeds of the projected amateur theatrical amusements in the Assembly-roms, nor had I ever the slightest intention of doing so. On the contrary, scruples having arisen in the minds of some persons on this very point, I attended a board of the hospital, and ascertained that while they would not refuse the proceeds of the proposed theatricals, the project had never been mooted in the board, nor had any one con- nexion with it." About half-past five on Wednesday morning a most destructive fire broke out at Corsham, on the premises of Mr. Spackman, grocer and draper, of that place. As soon as the alarm was given assistance was brought from Chippenham and the surrounding places, but the entire premises occupied by Mr. Spackman, as well as the house of Mrs. Hulbert, adjoining, were totally de- stroyed, together with everything they contained. Du- riug the progress of the conflagration, a rumour got abroad that Mr. Spackman himself had not been seen since the fire commenced. Much anxiety was mani- fested by his friends, and as soon as the fire was suffi- ciently subdued to allow- of a search amongst the ruins, the premises were entered, when Mr. Spackman's dead body was found near a chimney stack, his head reclining on his hand, as if he had been overpowered by suffoca- tion. Mr. Spackman was a widower, but he has left a large family of children to deplore his melancholy fate. Not a particle of his stock, which is estimated to have been worth upwards of £ 4000, was saved. It is be- lieved,liowever,thatit"as insured in the Sun Fire- oihee. of which Mr. Spackman was the Cuisham agent. It transpired at a magistrates' meeting, at Kendal, on Saturday week, that the cost to the county of the case of stealing a fishing rod at Ambleside, was £ 32. The Bishop of Exeter has" censured" the Itev. Y. H. Somerset, of Honiton, for allowing a meeting of the Church Missionary Society to be held in his church. IVe regret to announce the stispenssio- of Mr. Ken- rick's bank, and also of Mr. Lloyd's, both of Wrexham. The Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt have given notice that the actual expenditure of the United Kingdom exceeded the actual revenue thereof, for the year ended the 10th day of October, Os. 2d., and therefore no sum will be applied for the reduction of the national debt this quarter. On the night of Wednesday week the gamekeepers of Lady Rolle, consisting of the two head gamekeepers, together with Joslin, Lane, Cooper, and three or four other under-keepers, were on the watch for poachers in the parish of Colaton Raleigh. After some time, hear- ing shots fired, they followed in the direction of the sound, and coming up with the parties a severe conflict took place, and it is feared that Joslin is mortally wounded. A gun was pointed at Lane, but it missed fire. Two of the poachers, Wm. Woodley and John Price, both 28 years of age, were captured, and have been committed for trial. The summary of traffic for the past year, observes the Railway Chronicle, strongly shows the vitality of the railway system during its hardest trials. The total amount received by the various companies during the past half-year has been £5,(;:24,83ï, whilst the amount for the corresponding half-year of 1847 was £5,048,-14-1-, showing an increase of £576,393. The number of miles open at the commencement of the last half-year was 3,916, and during the same period in 1S47, 3,070 the number of miles open at the close of the year 184S was 4,21G, and of 1847, 3,342. In fine, the total amount of traffic for the whole year, 1848, was £ 10,065,170, and for 1847, £ 9,021,SOG; and the increase on the past year, £ 1,043,304. The total number of miles worked at the commencement of 1S4S being 3,423, and of 1817, 2,680. We are glad to mention another instance in which the disasters of the last year have been speedily re- trieved. Messrs. J. and G. Campbell and Co., of Liver- pool, West India and Mexican merchants, who sus- pended in February 1848, have announced the payment of a final dividend of 2s. (id. in the pound, making, with the previous instalments, a full payment of 20s. In a letter accompanying the notification, the inspectors of the estate speak strongly of the praiseworthy exer- tions of the partners to accomplish this result.— Times. The Edinburgh .CII'S says that:—" The present Cabinet resembles nothing so much as the horse which took Pickwick to the Golder, Cross. IN-lieii he is in the cab," siid the driver, we bears him up wery tight and takes him in wery short, so as he can't wery veil fall down, and we've got a pair o' precious large wheels on so when ho does move they run after him, and he must go on--he can't help it.' And so it is with the present ministry. Sir Robert Peel, as driver, bears them up very tight, and takes them on very short, which pre- vents them falling." It is stated that "T. Peachy, Esq., the owner of extensive estates at Shipton, between Xorthleach and Cheltenham, in consequence of the low price of farm produce, has intimated to his tenants that he shall return ten per cent. of the rents paid at the next rent audit." At the annual soiree of the Rawtonstall Mechanics' Institution, Mr. Bright, M.P., said, Whatever Govern- ment could or would do, it would leave ninety-nine parts out of one hundred of man's happiness to be worked out by himself." A few evenings ago, Miss Loughead, aged 18, went along the sands near the Pigeon-house, Dublin, for a quiet stroll. While she was enjoying the beauties of the scenery, which a splendid bay, surrounded by undu- lating and receding uplands, presented, the sea sur- rounded, and buried her within its bosom, and upon it retiring left her lifeless form close to the shore. OUR NATIONAL DEFENCES.—It is proposed to establish a submarine telegraph between Folkstone and France. We hope that henceforth the only batteries necessary for the two countries will be galvanic" ones. Show. j COMMUNICATION WITH THE GUARDS OF RAILWAY TRAINS.—The Railway Commissioners ha\e approved of the proposal of AV. Ilardiiicy, secretary to the London and South-Western, and which consists of a series of foot-boards and holdfasts along the extent of a train, and by means of which, in the event of accident, the guards may communicate with either engine-drivers or passengers. LINLITHGOW.—As the Rev. William Smarf, of the first United Presbyterian congregation here, was on his way to the pulpit last Sabbath evening, he fell in the street, and expired. He had officiated in his own chapel during the day. His father's death was equally sudden, I and, what is more remarkable, he preached from the same words the Sabbath before his death as Mr. Smart did on Sunday last. DOCKYARD SUPERANNUATIONS AND DISCHARGES.— We learn that an Admiralty order was last week received at the Devonport dockyard for discontinuing any further superannuations or discharges of mechanics, labourers. and others This seems the result of the temperate and judicious manner in which the attention of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty was drawn to the evil consequences likely to ensue if the contem- plated discharges and superannuations had been car- ried out. THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.—We give the following from the Daily Xeics :—" If it be the fact, If it be tle f" as we infer from the evidence given before a Parlia- I mentary Committee of last session, that the present Primate receives E?j,000 a year in addition to his legal stipend of £ 15,000, out of the Episcopal Fund, to pay the interest of the sum borrowed on security of the see of Canterbury for the repair of Lambeth Palace and Haddington House, the doing full justice to that fact very materially diminishes the respect we desire to feel for Dr. Sumner personally." AN EQUITABLE POOR-EATE.The formation of a society whose object is to discuss and furthei the enactment of an equitable, that is an uniform poor- rate throughout the country, seems to make a new era in the controversy concerning this much contro- verted question. As it stands, the system of rating for the relief of the poor appears wonderfully contrived so as to comprise all possible elements of injustice and inconvenience. It forms a property tax which con- sumes in higher ratio the smaller capital it is an income tax charged at a heavier tariff upon the poorest districts and most distressed contributors and it involves incredible annoyance both to the administrators and the paupers by the incredible complication which it induces in the law of settlement. In our literary columns, proof will be found that the subject is attracting the notice of writers upon political science and it is satisfactory to perceive that to this theoretical disquisition will now be added the weight of a practical agitation, without which few measures are able to force themselves upon the attention of an overburdened legislature.—Atlas. CLEVER N TRI E.—The last new trick of fraud is thus described. Two well-dressed men entered a shop in London—purchased plate to the value of £ 95, which was placed in a cab—and offered a good note for LIOO in payment. A ponce-omcer came m "hot haste; declared that the two had stolen a £ 1 00 note. seized the note for which the shopman was just handing over the change, ordered him to follow to the police court, and took away the accused parties and the plate. On making his way to the police court, the bewildered shopman discovered that the whole affair was a trick, the pretended policeman being an accomplice. The gang had thus got clear off with plate, note, and change. TIME.—Time is like a creditor who allows an ample space to nuke up accounts, but is inexorable at last. Time is like a verb, that can only be of use in the pre- sent tense. Time, well employed, gives that health and vigour to the soul which rest and retirement afford to the body. Time never sits heavily on us but when it is badly employed. Time is a grateful friend; use it well, and it never fails to make a suitable requital. THE FRYING-PAN AND THE FIRE.—We understand that an alteration—severe, certainly, but wholesome—is about !o be made in the system of prison discipline. en ion paupers, it is well known, often commit theft, or do damage, for the purpose of procuring for themselves the better diet and accommodation of a gool. Hence- forward it is intended to commit all convicts who may violate the gaol regulations to-the workhouse.—Punch. THE USELESS.—An advocate, blind of one eye. pleading one day with his spectacles on, said, Gentle- men, I shall use nothing but what is necessary." "Then," said Mingay, take out one of the glasses of your spectacles." TIME AND CARE.—Time does his work honestly, and I don't mind him. A fig for Time, sir. "Use him well, and he's a hearty fellow, and scorns to have you at a disadvantage.

PROPOSED RE-ENACTMENT OF THE CORN LAWS.— The Morning Chronicle of Wednesday, in an article on the approching termination of the Corn- laws, and the present position of the Protectionists, says :—" We are not inclined to treat slightingly those premonitory rumours which have, for some time past, been floating about, to the effect that the Government are meditating an interference with the settlement of 1846. A fixed duty of 5s. a quarter on foreign w heat is, it is said. to be the price at which Lord John Russell hopes to purchase the adhesion of the 'country party.' and to consolidate a working Parliamentary majority. Of course, we do not forget that this report has been some- what peremptorily contracted by a Ministerial contem- porary; but then we cannot help also remembering the equally peremptory contradiction, given by Ministers themselves, again and acain, during the last session, to the report, or impression, that they intended meddling with the Sugar-duties Act of the same year 1846- which, by the way was a final settlement' of their own, whereas the former measure was not their own, but was at direct variance with one of their most favourite crotches. It must be recollected, likewise, that the s'ate of the revenue would afford a highly convenient pretext for granting a Protectionist boon,' and wouid obviate the undesirable necessity of so much as naming the suspicious word. Sir Charles Wood is at the end of his tether. The expedient of borrowing, or of selling stock,' as Zvlinisters drolly call it, has, we suppose, by this time, been exhausted and, as there really are not many things left that they can tax, in order to square income with expenditure, there is a very fair prima facie probability, that they may seize the opportunity of taking down their long-loved fixed- duty project from the pigeon-hole where it has been gathering dust for so many years, and may once more submit it to public admiration and acceptance. At all events, the rumour is sufficiently credible, and, we may add, sufficiently credited, to make it worth while to brush up an old and once familiar argument, in order that people may be prepared, if need be, to pronounce, at the shortest notice, on the merits of the scheme in question." THE PROTECTIONISTS' FIXED DUTY. We had thought that the fixed duty" of the Protectionists was, now and for evermore, to rail at Sir Robert Peel as the "T amworth traitor," and to mourn fiercely, with bitter tears, repeal of the corn laws. But, it seems, they are tired of their policy of revenge, and are going to try the efficacy of reaction. They are actually beginning, in their little way, an agitation Yes, an agitation for a fixed duty on corn! The repudiated of 1840 is g- otva to be the cherished project of 1849. The foundling and outcast, kicked about by every aristocratic toe, turns out to be a true prince in disguise after all. It was Waltham-on-the-Wolds which saw the birth of this new movement—memorable it is to be, no doubt, in the annals of England. The Marquis of Granby, Lord John Manners, and Mr. Augustus Stafford, are the bold men who have undertaken to make the great English nation turn back in their deliberately adopted policy. To the talents and energy of Lord John Manners we are ever ready to bear our testimony he is an ornament to our aristocracy, not merely because he is a man of de- veloping parliamentary ability, but also because we believe his motives are honourable and pure. But we fear he is engaged in a hopeless crusade, even though Sir Charles Wood may want revenue, and Lord John Russell might not be sorry to receive support from the seceding Conservatives at a time when the nation is in so Conservative a mood. It is amusing enough to find that the Protectionists say their strong point in arguing for a fixed duty is that the manufacturers still have pro- tection on some of their articles; and all the new agi- tators require is an equivalent protection to their corn. Sundry resolutions in favour of the fixed duty proposed were agreed to and the meeting resolved to petition parliament on the subject.-Atlas. THE BEGGING PROFESSION."—The Times has commenced a crusade against beggars. For several weeks past, numerous letters have appeared in its columns, exposing the tricks of medicants, and de- nouncing the encouragement hestowea by indis- criminate alms-givers, upon sloth and imposture. This undeniable evil has now been treated editorially. The following is from one of the Times's leading articles of Tuesday:—" There is scarcely a man with a decent ¡.coat on his back, or a lady who ventures to put her foot across her own threshold, in London, bet is im- portuned by many questionable assailants for charity. Sometimes it is a pale and destitute widow sitting upon a door-slep, with two little infants clasped in her arms, and who rather by her attitude and her expression than by any direct solicitation obtains pence and sixpences from the passers-by. Who could button up his pocket, and, leaving such misery unrelieved, quietly pass on to his own comfortable fireside ? And yet the woman is an imposter. The poor children, the innocent actors in the tragi-eomedy have been hired out at so much a day. The sixpence bestowed to alleviate the seeming misery has gone to perpetuate the system, and encou- rage similar persons to undertake so gainful a traffic. See that little pallid, sickly child, crouching under the wall of St. Martin's Church. The time is midnight, and the storm is pitiless. Is it possible to see a being so helpless, and not do what you can to relieve her misery ? Thirty times a month the child will be found in the same attitude, and at the same place, at the same hour, and a watcher is doubtless at hand to receive at once the donations that compassion may fling into. her lap. So of others each quarter, and every street of the town, has its well-known beggars, and familar forms of simulated affliction. The fact is well known. It has been ascertained, and made public, that the pro- fessional beggars prepare themselves for their appearance in public as carefully and as cleverly as actors for the stage. The public arc aware of this, and yet the system of promiscuous almsgivings, prolific as it is of so much real misery, continues in unabated vigour. If you take a sane, and really merciful and humane view of the question, you are exposed to the immediate de- nunciaton of those in whom charity-that is almsgiving -is an impulse, and reflection an impossibility. You are told, with a look of puckered self-importance. 'Ah I had rather be imposed upon than become hardened like you to human sorrow and human suffering.' If this were merely a question between the giver and the non-giver of alms to impostors, there might be some- thing in the argument. 'Unfortunately, every sixpence wrongfully bestowed calls up more claimants for more sixpences. The money dishonest ly gained is recklessly spent. The weakness of the giver and the viciousness of the recipient re-act upon each other. The streets and the roads swarm with beggars, and the police could best tell what becomes of those persons when off their beats, and they arc squandering their ill-gotten gains in low haunts of debauchery, drunkenness, and vice." PILLAGE OF THE ROYAL PALACES IN FRANCE. At Marlborongh-street police office on Friday, a foreign gentleman addressed Mr. Ilardwick in French, stating that he was the owner of the picture produced, some short time ago, in the proceedings against parties who endeavouring to dispose of a large quantity of diamonds and other valuators, alleged to have been stolen from the Palace of the I uueries and '.he Chateau de euilly; and the picture was detained from him by the Baron de Bassagnes. The picture in question he (applicant) had bought in Paris, after the abdication, for 35f., and he had entrusted it to M. Saulnier to dispose of in London. The proceedings had then terminated by the custom- house officers taking possession of all the property until it could be satisfactorily proved that it had paid duty on being brought over. The picture, however, had paid th! regular duty, and it was now in possession of the Baron de Bassagnes. When he applied for its restora- tion, the Baron, who was a honourable man, and a man of large property, had refused to deliver it up, and consequently, by way of reprisal, he had seized a valua- ble cashmere shawl belonging to the Baron, which he intended to keep possession of until he got back his picture.—Mr. Hardwick asked the applicant if he was aware General Chabannes had stated that the picture had been cut from a larger picture in one of the rovai palaces of France ?—The applicant said he was. He bought it at the time on speculation. He had written to the ex-king to say that, provided he were repaid the 35f. given for the picture, he would restore it. Mr Hardwick said if the Baron de Bassagnes was the honourable man applicant said h? was, how was it he detained the picture from the presumed owner The applicant said this was not the least curious pan of the IOUs part of the affair. The fact was the Baron was completely under the control of the female Delorice. About twelve 'years ago the Baron became paralyse, and, meeting with Madame Delorice, she persuaded him that his idfirmi- ues were the result of an evil ei-e. tl!at he was be- witched, and she knew the secret of baffiing his enemy ln° to liis bodily faculties. The Baron took Madame Delorice to live with him as a companion, and sincr: that period she had assumed an empire over lm t. lat w ou 1 u appear to border on romance were he not prepared to authenticate his assertions.—Mr Hard- wick said the ownership of the picture was very ques- tionable, and he did not see how he could interfere, The applicant would do best if he waited until the Ba- ron wellt back to 1* ranee, and then the question of owneish.p could be submitted to a French tribunal. iarqusa, in his esric-, declared that he had never been able to u;st;ngui.sh real friends f:o:n hi.s perfidious coon.rrs, till after it be came out cf Lis power to oblige any oue —{ ¡(,-c: Tiit? o*u 1 lilies were not tlrrip: at lerist for ser- vants.
