CELEBRATED THROUGHOUT THE GLOBE. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT. CURE OF FISTULOUS SORES AND PLEURISY. Extract of a Letter from Mr. Robert Calvert, Chemist, Stokesley, dated September 3rd, 1847. To Professor HOLLOWAY. SIR,—Mr. Thompson, National Schoolmaster of this Town, desires me to send you the particulars of his Son, who had been bad for three years and a half, and has received the greatest benefit by the use of your Pills and Ointment. lie is of a scrofulous conititiition a pleurisy had left a large Collection of matter in the chest, this eventually formetT a passage through the wales of the chest, and ended in three fistulous sores which discharged large quantities of pus, when he was induced to try your Pills and Ointment; at this date he was apparently in a dying condition, the stomach rejecting every thing it took. Your Pills and Ointment had the effect ofoo mpl(-telyouriiig both the cough and stomach atlections, his strength Ind flesh are also restored, his appe- tite keen, and digestion good. There is every prospect that a little further continuance of vour medicines will finish the cure. (Signed) ROBERT CALVERT. The Mofussulite" Newspaper, published at Meerut, has, on the loth October, 1847, copied an article from the "Benares Recorder," of which the following is an Extract The Prince of MAHARAJAH BISSONATH SINGH, who was temporarily residing at Chittercote, was suddenly taken ill with Spasmodic Colic, & during his illness His Highness often asked for Holloway's Pills and Ointment, as he had heard much of their virtues, but none could be obtained in the neighbourhood, and Professor Hol- loway, no doubt, unfortunately loses a certificate which would have graced and dignified his list of cures." The native Princes are now using Holloway's cele- brated Pills and Ointment in preference to every other medicine, they being so wonderfully efficacious in the cure of diseases in India. CURE OF ULCERS WHERE THERE EXISTED DISEASED BONE. Extract of a Letter from Mr. James Wetmore, Hampton, New Brunswick, dated Feb. 10th, 1847. To Messrs. Peters and Tilley. GENTLEMEN,—I feel it is but due to Professor Hollo- way to inform you, as his Agents for this Province, of a remarkable cure performed upon my son. He had been afflicted with Ulcers on his limbs and body for more than three years, from which small pieces of bone had been removed. I tried several medical men in St. John's, but all to no purpose, I was then induced to try Hollo- way's Pills and Ointment, which made a complete cure several months have since elapsed but there is not the slightest appearance of the cure not being the most com- plete.

REVIEWS OF THE wonK, This work possesses advantages over every other of the kind submitted to public notice. The author is a medical man of some considerable talent, who has de- voted many years to the study of his profession, and as a guarantee of his pretensions has published his qualifi- cations and diplomas in the work, and several testi- monials of his abilities from physicians and surgeons of great eminence, which is a most importance considera- tion to those who are obliged to seek medical assistance from strangers. The subject is treated altogether in an excellent manner, and by its perusal the unfortunate victims of dissipation will be enab led to discover the means of alleviating their sufferings in an easy and effectual manner." United Service Gazette.

Linton, Cambridge, Oct. 25th, 1817. GrENTr/EMEN,— A striking instance of the efficacy of your Macassar Oil in the restoration of the hair has just come under my notice. The person alluded to is a young man named Haylock, of Ashdon, near this place, whose entire head of hair came off by some unaccounta- ble means. He purchased of me several different popu- lar preparations, which lie regularly and faithfully used, but withaut effeding the least apparent change. At last I advised him to try a bottle of your Macassar Oil; and, on Friday last, he communicated to me the pleasing in- telligence of the re-appearance of a thick head of hair. You can make what use you please of this, and refer inquirers to Yours respectfully, J. SERJEANT, Bookseller, 8. c. ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL. It may with truth be averred, that Rowlands' Macassar Oil has enjoyed an extent of Patronage and Public favour during the last half century, which is totally unexampled in the annals of felicitous discovery. The extraordinary efficacy, and happy amalgamation of its purely exotic materials, have rendered it justly renowned throughout the world for its remarkable virtues in nou- rishing, preserving, and beautifying the human hair. The is a brief notice of some of its principal virtues. The subject is more fully treated in a small pamphlet which accompanies each bottle of Rowlands' Macassar Oil, and wherein important hints and advice will be found on the culture of the hair of infancy, and on its preserva- tion and beauty through the several stages of human life. It insinuates its balsamic properties into the pores of the head, nourishes the hair in its embryo state, cleanses it from scurf and dandiiffi accelerates its growth, sustains it in maturity, and contmues its possession of healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redundancy, to the latest period of human life. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiaily active: so that, in numerous instances wherein other remedies have been tried in vain, Rowlands' Macassar Oil has superseded the ornaments of art. by re-instating, in lull plenitude, the permanent gifts and graces of nature. In the growth of whiskers, eyebrows, and mustachios, it is also unfailing in its sti- mulative operation. For children it is especially recom- mended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use of the fine comb unnecessary. Its invaluable properties have obtained the especial patro- nage of her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the whole of the Royal Family of Great Britain, and of every Court of the civilized world and the high esteem in which it is universally held, together with numerous Testimonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and surest proofs of its merits.—Price 3s. Gd. and 7s.; or Family Bottles (equal to 4 small) at 10s. 6d, and double that size, 21s. CAUTION.—On the wrapper of each bottle of the genuine article are these words, in two lines.—Rowlands' Macassar Oil. The same are engraved on the back of the wrapper nearly 1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters. ROWLANDS' ODONTO, OR TEARL DENTIFRICE. A WHITE POWDER FOR THE TEETH, com- pounded of the choicest and most recherche ingredients of the Oriental Herbal—of inestimable virtue in pre- serving and beautifying the Teeth and strengthening the Gums, and in giving sweetness and perfume to the Breath. It extirpates all tartarous adhesions to the Teeth, and ensures a pearl-like whiteness to the ena- melled surface. Its Anti-Septic and Anti-Scorbutic Properties exercise a highly beneficial and salutary in- fltietice they arrest the further progress of decay of the Teeth, induce a healthy actl()!1 of the Gums, and by con- firiiiiii, tiicir to the Teeth, perpetuate effective and complete mastication; the Breath also, from the salubrious and disinfecting qualities of the Odonto, at- tains a grateful sweetness and fragrance. The Proprietors of this Dentifrice pledge themselves that its efficacy in preserving and embellishing the Teeth far surpasses any thingof the kind ever yet offered to the public, and has, in consequence, obtained its se- lection by Her Majesty the Queen, the Court and Royal Family of Great Britain, and the Sovereigns and No- bility throughout Europe. Price 2s. 9d. per box. CAUTION.—To protect the Public from Fraud, the Hon. Commissioners have directed the Proprietors' Name and Address, thas-" A. ROWLAND and SON, 20 HATTON GARDEN," to be engraved on the Government Stamp, which is affixed on each box. ROWLANDS' ALSANA EXTRACT, For relieving the Tooth-ache, Gum Boils, and Swelled Face, and which, by constantly usim;, prevents those maladies. In the anguish of excruciating pain it affurds instantaneous relief. It is perfectly innocent in its nature. Price 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and iOs 6d per bottle. The Government Stamp, as on the ODONTO," is affixed on each bottle. IMPORTANT CAUTION. UNPRINCIPLED INDIVIDUALS for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, vend the most SPURIOUS COMPOUNDS, under the same names some under the implied sanction of Royalty, and the Government De- partments, with similar attempts at deception. They copy the labels, advertisements, and testimonials, (sub- stituting fictitious names and addresses for the real) of the original preparations. It is therefore highly neces- sary to see that the word ROWLANDS' is on the wrapper of each article. The Genuine Articles are sold by every respectable Perfumer and Chemist throughout the kingdom.

IRELAND.I
IRELAND. I Evidence of disaffection are presenting themselves day by day. A large portion of the working classes are acting on the advice of the Jacobin orators and newspapers, and are providing themselves with rifles, muskets, pikes, and other weapons. One wholesale dealer in those articles has declared that he is unable to supply further orders at present. Regular meetings of rifle clubs take place for rifle practice, and drills are numerously attended in inclosed yards in ob- scure streets. All this (says the correspondent of the Chronicle) looks like preparation for insurrection but, neverthe- less, persons here who are best qualified to judge, are not in the least apprehensive of any, serious outbreak first, because it would be sheer insanity to attempt it; and next, because there is no organised conspiracy among the disaffected. There is, besides, a formidable military and police force always at hand, and the bulk of the middle classes are completely on the side of law and order. On the other hand, the correspondent of the Daily Netcs writes:— Government, it is rumoured to-day, is in possession of information of a very serious character, not less than the spirit of disaffection among the constabulary. Shouldthis prove true the situation is alarming, and the remedy of the most difficult character. The English people are not alive to the real aspect of affairs. To blink the peril is unwise, and doubly dangerous at the present moment. How the wind sets you will see from a meeting held in Galway on Saturday, the High Sheriff presiding, at which an address to the Queen for repeal was voted, with only three dissentinents. It was a county meeting, largely and respectably attended. In Limerick, on the same day, there was a similar demonstration of a very pregnant character. Perhaps the report circulated to-day that the city was in pos- session of the people, and the troops dislodged, is an ideal realisation of the sentiments of the speakers. The above rumour respecting the constabulary ap- pears to be entirely groundless. The Limerick and Clare Examiner contains details of the most remorseless evictions in both Clare and Kerry, comprising altogether no fewer than one thousand unhappy creatures. The landed proprietors are the Marquis of Conynghain, Lord Ventry, and Mr. Westby. In no other civilised country on earth could such terrible deeds be done. Notwithstanding the special commission the judges have had heavy work in Lirnerick. Never were records so few, and rarely the dock so crowded. Seventeen days were exhausted in the gaol delivery and the fruit of the laborious session has been—four sentenced to death, forty to transportation, and a great crowd to various terms of imprisonment. A brutal murder has been perpetrated within the last few days in Longford. The victim was a man named Donohoe, and was seventy-three years of age. He had some time since made over his farm to his son upon certain terms, to which the latter gave an uu- willing assent. It is said the murder of the old man was perpetrated to free the son from the engagement. It would be worse than useless, says the Times cor- respondent, to blink the fact that we are here on the eve of an outburst of agitation compared with which the events of '43, or of any previous period of turmoil, were at most but the foreshadowing of the coming troubles. Emboldened by the progress of affairs on the continent, the revolutionary press has cast off all restraint; and even that portion of it which professes to be the organ of the moral force principle (the Freeman's Journal) now boldly tells the Government that a little more delay (in conceding repeal] and the people will take the conduct of matters into their own hands," and it calls upon all sections and classes to unite, and promptly,— that the next step be not delayed." Emigration presents a very different aspect in the present and the past year. The poor law now gives the peasant a hold on the land, and he does not feel in such a hurry to depart. One or two vessels are ready to leave Dublin with cargoes incomplete. One sailed on Friday the 24th ult., from Limerick with a full com- plement, and at an average rate of JE3 18s. per head. There are eighteen vessels entered for passengers in the port of Limerick. At the meeting of the Repeal Association on Monday, the present leader" of the Irish people received two significant hints that he is not going fast" enolrh. An a,ldress to the Queen, proposed by Mr. John O'Con- nell and drawn up by him, was laid before the meeting; but, being opposed, was referred back to the com- mittee." Upon the second occasion, a phrase used by a Mr. Leyne having been misinterpreted by the enthu- siastics into a recognition of the morality of violence, and cheered accordingly, Ir. John O'Connell rose to vindicate the fundamental rule" of the association, and, for the first time within those halls, an O'Connell was loudly hissed.—Rent for the week £ 100. YOUNG IRELAND'S TRE.I.SONI.-At a densely crowded meeting of the Irish Confederation held on Thursday, the speakers one and all declared their intention of coming to open and immediate rebellion, and their hearers vociferously responded to that sentiment. Mr. Mitchell said he had written sedition and would write more sedition. He meant to go further; it was his intention to commit high treason. (Immense cheering.) He meant to call upon every one of those present to commit high treason and unless they had made up their minds to be slaves for ever, they must rise up at an early day, or early night, smash through the Castle, and tear down the English flag. (Protracted cheers.) Mr. Doheny could hardly go beyond this; but he kept well up to the pace. He told his hearers that the pleasantest sound to his ears would be the sound of a i-ide-tliat they must up with the barricades, and resolve to fight in the open streets-and prepare to make their last effort against England." Mr. Duffy said—" I, for my part, should be content to receive the liberty of Ireland on the terms specified by Grattan but if there is left us no choice between Skibbereens and an Irish Republic, then—may God send it soon Mr. R. O'Gormon was more precise and intelligible:- Lei English power choose its own battle-ground as it will—fight with the weapons of its law, or come in the pride of its chivalry—let it use the indictment or the bayonet—the Attorney-General or the Carbineer— in any way and every way we will oppose them face to face, and bring this contest, boldly begun, to a trium- phant issue. (Vehement cheers)." Mr. D. Reilly was no less explicit:—" I call on the people to arm-arm- arm 300,000 Englishmen, Chartists, will assemble in London next week and London will be in their hands The first budge in England shall be answered in Ireland." AGRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT IN IRELAND.—FA- THER MATHEW.—The following gratifying letter has been received by the secretary of the Irish Agricultural Society Cork, March 23, 1848.—My dear Sir—From your position as secretary to the Royal Aricultural Society-an office which you fill with so much benefit to the country and credit and honour to yotirself-I take the liberty to enclose you my annual subscription to the admirable institution for affording practical instruction in husbandry to the farmers throughout Ireland. If his Excellency the Earl of Clarendon, who now happily presides over the destinies of this country, should leave no other monument of his government, it would glorify his name to the latest posterity, as one of the greatest benefactors of the Irish people. Yon have been the precursor of this new institute, the project of which is now matured by our illustrious Viceroy, and I conclude you are the agent in the present salutary movement, otherwise I would not have presumed to trouble you with, I regret to be obliged to say, my small subsriptiou. If I had the means I would most cheerfully present a large donation, for in mv journeyings through the coun- try I have already witnessed the most beneficial results from the practical instruction thus given to the small farmers and your identifying yourself with this measure will inspire the public with confidence, by bringing to its aid all the powerful machinery of the Royal Agricultural Society. Apologising for this instrusion 011 your tiine I am, with sincere esteem, dear sir, your affectionate, friend, THEOBALD MATHEW. Edward Bullen, Esq., Secretary, &c." AN APARTMENT WiNTED.-Wanted, a small in- commodious, ill-ventilated, wretched, disgusting, filthy, soul-and-body-kiliing apartment, in the Richmond Bridewell, Dublin. The tenement will be taken, with the greatest pleasure in the world, for three, six, nine, or twelve months or years The gentleman desirous of this accomodation, rejects—or would reject-with the deepest, most inconceivable, and therefore most inex- pressible scorn, any proffer soever of the smallest taste in life of indulgence, from the parties who treat with him. On the contrary, he must be submitted to every species of revolting crueity and meanness. He must be denied books, pens, ink, and paper, and the sight of the faces of his dearest kindred, the grasp of the hand, the warm pressure of amity, bubbling and burning from the heart of devoted friendship. This, and much more than he can express in the limits of a public advertise- ment, must be denied him, or no party will be treated with. Further, the advertiser stipulates for brown bread and brackish water as his daily sustenance, and very little of it. Parties who can supply fetters by the hundred-weight (handcuffs are indispensable, or no letters will be answered) will be delightfully responded to. Address, post paid (that is, with the head of the I Saxon Q,icen tipon the letter) to F. Mitchell, office of United Irishman, Dublin. No Irish need apply.— Punch. EMBLEM FOR IRELAND.—Different nations have their different representatives, derived from the animal crea- tion. There is the British Lion—the Austrian Eagle- the Gnllick Cock. The emblem of Irebud ought to be the Hyæna, the creature-according to Wombwell's natural history—' wot kindijess cannot conciliate, nor
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. The squadron so long stationed at Lisbon is now off the Cove of Cork. A blacksmith, who can neither read nor write, has been elected a ward assessor at Tiverton, Devon Orders have been received for the immediate increase of the armament of Plymouth citadel. 35 18-pounders are to be added to the artillery. A Boston paper contains the trial and conviction of Martha Christian, in Virginia, for teaching a slave to read the Bible! The venerable and amiable poet, Wordsworth, has, it is stated, fallen into a state of great mental prostration. His mind was some time ago very deeply affected by the death of a beloved daughter. The government of Nassau have sequestrated Prince Metternich's castle and vineyards of Jobannisberg, for arrears of excise duty, which had been unpaid since 1815 The New York Sun mentions that an Irish cook, hearing the lady of the house at dinner ask her husband to bring Dombey and Son with him when he returned, laid two extra plates on the supper-table. The Volunteer Rifle Corps has met with the approba- tion of her Majesty's government, who, it is said, will contribute the arms and uniform. Several of the younger branches of the aristocracy have already en- rolled themselves as members of the corps, and his Grace the Duke of Richmond hits been-offered the com- mand. Lord Mandeyille, it ia rumoured, will be the Major of the corps. At a recent meeting of the Smithsonian Institute, America, Professor Henry gave some account of the founder, a natural son of a late Duke of Northumber- land. He was a great chemist, and on one occasion caught a lady's tear on a piece of glass, lost one half, and characteristically analysed the other, and discovered a microscopic salt. A correspondent of the Morning Chronicle states that tobacco stalks, which may be bought on the conti- nent at 12s. per cwt., are, when landed in England, worth £ 18, and truly observes that no fiscal regulations can stand against a profit of 3,000 per cent. to the smuggler. There was not a single prisoner for trial at the late Merionethshire assizes," remarks the Liverpool Albion," a fact which testifies strongly in favour of Welsh mo- rality there was not a single cause in the paper, a fact which evidences with equal force their wisdom." The packet-ship lyest Point, from Liverpool to New York, was, on the 12th ult., seven times struck by light- ning within an hour, the fluid passing each time down the mainmast, which appeared to throw off sparks like red hot-iron when struck by the smith's hammer. Most of the watch 011 deck felt the shock severely. Two men were instantly killed. At the fifth shock, Captain Allen felt himself nearly brought to the deck, although standing fifty feet from the mainmast at the time. The vessel, Richard Cobden," of Norway, arrived from Brevig, in the City Canal, has brought a package of poultry of Norwegian produce. We know of no previous arrival of this kind from Norway. The last intelligence respecting Prince Metternich is that he was seen at Olmutz, proceeding by railway to Prague, and that it was generally supposed his object was to reach England. The National states that the physicians of Naples have declared that Mehemet Ali, who is at present in that city, cannot survive longer than a month or six weeks. At the Holt's Arms Inn, Birmingham, an electric telegraph contrivance supersedes bell-ringing; orders any refreshment, or summons the landlord, landlady, waiter, boots, &c., as required. The skull of St. Andrew, the apostle, was lately stolen out of St. Peter's, where it was kept under three strong locks. The Eternal City was thrown into con- sternation by this piece of sacrilege, and a reward of 500 dollars (a small sum for such a relic) was offered in the Gazette. The skull was afterwards found buried in a sack of corn on board a schooner, lying ready to set sail; when the schooner was impounded, and the crew imprisoned, but, says the humorous correspondent of the Daily News, the great vagabond has not been got at yet." In the Secondaries' Court, London, on Wednesday, Mrs. Oralge, a widow, aged GO, brought an action against a travelling pedlar, named Levy, aged 66, for breach of promise of marriage. Both appeared decrepid and infirm. The defendant pleaded that, at the time, he was quite incapable, from indisposition and bodily infirmity, to perform his part of the contract. Verdict for the plaintiff, damages £ 20. Two men, named Wm. Brown and James Dewey, have been committed for trial, in London, charged with forging a £6 note of the Reading Bank. The Lord Bishop of Manchester has appointed Dr. flagrjsfarcf, of Djctor.s'-eommous, to be chancellor of that diocese. The total amount of duty collected in the year 1847 on bricks, amounted to £ 672,681. M. Guizot has been admitted as an honorary member of the Athenaeum Club, for two months. In Berlin, two thousand were slain in the streets by the sword and by chain and canister shot. The private property of Louis Philippe as Duke of Orleans, was £ 300,000 a year; and the Crown estates brought in £ 250,000 more. The library of the ex-King and Queen of the French at Neuiily amounted to about 14,000 volumes. About 12,000 have escaped destruction. M. Lamartine is married to an English lady; and M. Marrast, when in England in 1843, also married an English woman. M. Marrast at that Lime, we under- stand, taught the guitar. The wife of M. Ledru Rollin is stated to be a young and beautiful Irishwoman of large fortune, who was so captivated by his eloquence, that she consented to espouse him. She is said also to be the sister of Mr. Mitchell, of The United Irishman. One day last week, an innkeeper at Bradford refused to allow a horse to be put in his stable, because its owner was a teetotaller. We can state, on the best authority, that M. Lamar- tine has taken a house for his family in St. John's Wood. This looks as if he felt it uecessary to make provisions against acei(leiits.Itlas. The Irish estates of the Duke of Buckingham, ;n the counties of Westmeath, Longford, and Clare, are to be sold by auction in Dublin during the course of this month. The Senior United Service Club have invited Lord Hardinge to dinner and a similar compliment is to be paid to his lordship by the Carlton and Conservative Clubs, and the East India Company. The splendid mansion and park at Stoke, near Slough, which belonged to a descendant of the celebrated Wil- liam Penn, has just been purchased, by private contract, of Granville Penn, Esq., for f62,000, by the Right Hon. Henry Labouchere, the president of the board of trade. It is said that Lizst, the pianist, has been detained, nolens volens, for three months by a Russian Princess, who, entranced by his performance at Odessa, induced him to visit her castle of Bogotsk, and having got him there refused to allow him to depart. The balance due to depositors in military savings banks on the 31st of March, 1847, was £ 54,982 14s. 10--?d., the number of depositors at that date being 4,907 the total amount of the fund for military savings banks up to the 20th of March, 1818, is £ 57,6-30 Os. llid, At the sale of the Duke of Buckingham's pictures, the full-length portrait of the Hon. George Grenville, by Sir Joshua Reynolds, sold for eighiy-three guineas and The Destruction of Pompeii," by John Martin, for one hundred guineas. Lady Franklin has issued a notice offering a reward j of £ 2000, with a view of inducing any whaling-ship j which resorts to Davis's Straits or Baffin's Bay to make search for the expedition under the command of Sir John Franklin. Her ladysliip's notice stinnlates that search shall be made in those parts which are not in the scope of the expedition sent out Ly government. Sir John Richardson and Dr. Rae left Liverpool on Saturday by the steamer for Ne,r York. On reaching the latter city they will proceed northward with the greatest possible expedition and, should no unforeseen accident occur, will, in all probability, reach the mouth of the Mackenzie about the middle of August, and forthwith commence their search for Sir J. Franklin and his party. The Proprietor of the Carnarvon Herald has been mulcted in the penalty of £ 25 for an alleged libel upon I the Rev. Mr. Barnewell, head master of the Ruthin Grammar School. The libel appeared on the 6th of December last, in the shape of a letter to the editor, imputing that the scholars were compelled to light their own fires;" that "no fire was allowed in the school-room till the 19th of November, although the parents of the pupils paid an annual sum for firing and that the pupils were insufficiently fed." The damages were laid at EI,000, the pleas were first the general issue, and then that the facts contained in the alleged libel were true. The Judge (Justice Erie) told the jury that neither plea tud been established, and a verdict for the plaintiff was returned da- mages, £ 25. Revolutions are the resalts of errars persisted in, and of necessary changes deferred. THE Lcxos.—On examination the lungs will be found full of innumerable lit tlf, holes, like a sponge. These holes are cells into which the air enters when we breathe. So great is their numbf-r that they have been calculated to amount to 174,000,000, fonuin altoether a surface thirty times greater than that of the human body. Every one of these cells is provided with a Jl, t-work of blood- vessels, by means of which the blood is brought into im- mediate contact with the air over every portion of their surface.

The melancholy event took place at seven o'clock p.m. ori Friday, at the residence of M. Guiaot, at Brompton. WELSH SCHOOL, LONDON.—We regret to learn that the governors of this establishment have come to the resolution of diminishing the number of children from 200 to ISO. The average expenses of late years have exceeded £ 3,000 per annum, whilst the annual sub- scriptions have fallen short of EI,000. Besides free- hold property, the society, however, is possessed of nearly E60,000 in tbre pttblic funds. AYLESBURY ELECTION took place on Wednesday, when Mr. John Houghton, a land agent and tenant farmer, came to the poll on the Liberal interest aud Mr. Quintin Dick, on the Tory side. The numbers at the close were-Dick, 614 Houghton, Siti—majority for Mr. Dick, 269. HARWICH ELECTION.—Close of the poll, Saturday evening, Hobhouse, 131, Sutton, 127, Majority for Hobhouse 4. Lord Charles James Fox Russell, who represented Bedfordshire in the last Parliament, will succeed Sir William Gossett, K.G.H., as Serjeant-at-Arms, in attendance on the House of Commons, subject, how- ever, to any airangement which the House may think fit to make respecting the duties and eniolumerits of the office. Observer. Four privates of the 87th regiment, whilst coming from Gloucester on Sunday, upon reaching the Lea stopped to refresh themselves, became intoxicated, and quarrelled. One of them went in advance of his com- rades some distance, and when they arrived some seventy yards beyond Hownhall turnpike, one of the three who were behind received a stab from a bayonet, which. caused instant death. The general supposition was that he was so much intoxicated as to fall on the weapon. when it penetrated his left side. They were goiug to Monmouth to give evidence at the assizes against a sergeant of the same regiment. The three were sent on in t.iie custodv of the constables, and the body of the deceased was taken to Weston Cross inn, near Ross. They were all Irishmen, and have since been committed for trial for manslaughter. Dr. Hampden, the Lord Bishop of Hereford, has received a memorial, signed by eighty-two clergymen of the Archdeaconry of Gloucester, congratulating him on his elevation to the episcopal bench. Averse to agitation (they say), we should not have deemed it incumbent upon us to take this step, had we not been recently invited to unite with many of our brethren in a declaration of an opposite teudency. We feel con- vinced that the experience of your lordship's blame- lessness as a bishop, your sound faith, and your zeal for the church, will speedily disarm the prejudices of those who have hitherto mistaken your teaching and character and, on the other hand, that your senti- ments and demeanour towards those who have joined in a movement which we deplore, will be characterised by wisdom and charity." In reply, his lordship ob- serves—" I cannot help taking occasion to congratulate you on the stand which you have made against the recent movement, and on the beneficial influence which such an example must have for the peace of the church so causelessly disturbed of late. So far as this agitation has been against myself, it has been powerless in effect. I may say without presumption (for I have felt the blessing) that I have been wonderfully supported by Divine Providence. But it is too evident that the designs of those who have chiefly promoted the agitation tend to innovation in the doctrine and practice of our church, and to the spread of dissension and persecution without it. Most important it is, therefore, for all who value the scriptural truths and principles handed down to us by our reformers, fearlessly to come forward as you have done, and show themselves steadfast and unmoved by the seductions prevailing around them." ELECTION OF THE BISHOP OF CHESTER.—CHESTER, FRIDAY.—This day having been appointed for the election of a bishop of the diocese of Chester, rendered vacant by the promotion of Dr. Bird Sumner to the Archbishopric of Canterbury, the proceedings created no inconsiderable degree of interest amongst the inha- hitan ts úf the ancient city, twenty years ha, ing elapsed since the occurrence of a similar ceremony. After the usual formal proceedings had been disposed of, the Dean of Chester said it now became their duty to pro- cecd to the election of their bishop. Their late beloved diocesan had been translated to the archbishopric of Canterbury, and, in consequence of tdat appointment, her Majesty had been pleased to grant to the dean and chapter of Chester, the conge d'tlire, empowering them to elect another bishop, and in a letter misshe which accompanied the Sovereign's permission, her Majesty had been pleased to recommend to the deau and chapter that they should elect, as their future bishop, the Rev. John Graham, D.D., master of Christ's College, in the University of Cambridge. The votes were then tendered in the usual manner, and Dr. John Graham was unanimously elected to the bishopric of Chester. By the promotion of Dr. Graham to the see of Chester, the following appointments become vacant:—The Mastership of Christ's College, Cam- bridge; a Chaplaincy to his Royal Highness Prince Albert; the Rural Deanery of Chesterton, in the diocese of Ely the Rectory of Willingham, Cambridge- shire (in the gift of the Bishop of Ely.) Dr. Graham, it is said, will be consecrated by his Grace the Arch- bishop of York (in whose province the diocese of Chester is situate), on Sunday, May 7. PROPOSED ABOLITION OF TURNPIKE GATES AND TOLLS.—Mr. Morris Sayce, land-surveyor and civil en- gineer, of Kington, has again turned his attention to this snbject; and in a statement proposes that all toll- gates be entirely abolished, substituting in their stead an annual tax, in the shape of license, upon every in- dividual (those who use horses for agricultural purposes to be exempted) who keeps horses, carriages, &c., vary- ing according to circumstances, whereby a saving will be effected beyond what is paid under the present sys- tem, and still sufficient to pay the accruing interest upon the debt, repair of roads, and other necessary outgoings, by this means saving the expenses of toll- houses.
