AV iilli FREEHOLDERS & OTHER ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF CARMARTHEN. ^^VENTLEMEN,—The lamented death of the venerable Lord Dynevor having caused a vacancy in our County I am induced by the assurance of powerful support, to offer, myself as a Candidate for the honour of representing you in Parliament. I come forward upon Conservative principles, and as a supporter of Lord Derby's Administration. Should any fair and comprehensive measure for the relief of the depressed Agricultural interest be proposed, having a due regard to the other interests of the Community, it shall have my best support; my only wish being to obtain equal justice for farmers. I need hardly say, that it will ever be my most anxious desire to uphold our Protestant Institutions against the insidious assaults of Popery, and under a strong sense of this conviction, I should vote for a repeal of the Maynooth Grant. I cannot but feel, that should I be chosen to succeed your late Member, I must suffer much by comparison with one who for 30 years has so ably and so faithfully served you; yet having been all my life a resident in your County, and being conversant with your hablts and your language, I ven- ture to hope that you may look with a favourable eye on my pretensions and if elected to the very high and important post to which I aspire, I shall endeavour by a close and strict attention to my duties, and a watchful regard to your interests, to render myself deserving of your choice. As it is probable that only a very short period will elapse before the Election takes place, I fear it will be impossible for me to wait upon many of you personally, but I shall take the earliest opportunity of paying you my respects. Mean- while, soliciting your support, I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your very obedient and faithful servant, D. JONES. Pantglas, April 14th, 1852. TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE CARDIGANSHIRE BOROUGHS. G ENTLEMEN,-I beg to return you my best thanks fof the very kind and flattering promises of support at the approaching Election for your Boroughs, which have been made to me during my canvass, and since then to my Friends, who have so kindly exerted themselves on my behalf. I regret much that I have not yet been able to pay my personal respects to you all, but intend doing so before the Election occurs. Should I be placed in the proud position of being your Representative in the next Parliament (of which I feel most confident) no exertion shall be wanting on my part to pro- mote your general and local interests. I remain, Gentlemen, Your very obedient servant, J. INGLIS JONES. London, April 30th, 1852. DIOCESE OF ST. DAVID'S. ARCHDEACONRIES ") THE VERNAL VISITATION OF I for the Year 1852 of the ST.

Extract of a Letter from Mr. William Galpin, oj 70, Saint Mary's Street, Weymouth, dated May 15th, 1851. To Professor HOLLOWAY, ,;i B,-At the age of 18 my wife (who is now 61) caught violent cold; vfrieh sfettled in her legsi and-pyer since that time they have been more or less sore, and grea i, inflamed. Her agonies were distracting, and for months together she was deprived entirely o rest and sleep. Every remedy that medical men advised was tried, but without effect; her health suffered severely, and the state of her legs was terrible. I had often read your Advertise- ments, and advised her to try your Pills and Ointment; and, as a last resource, after every other remedy had proved useless, she consented to do so. She commenced six weeks a go, and, strange to relate, is now in good health. Her legs are painless, without seam or scar, and her sleep sound and undisturbed. Could you have witnessed the sufferings of my wife during the last 43 years, and contrast them with her present enjoyment of health, you would indeed feel delighted in having been the means of so greatly alleviating the sufferings of a fellow creature. (Signed) WILLIAM GALPIN. A PERSON 70 YEARS OF AGE CURED OF A BAD LEG, OF THIRTY YEARS' STANDING. Copy of a Letter from Mr. Wm. Abbs, Builder of Gas Ovens of Rushcliffe, near Huddersfield, dated May 3Istf, 1851. To Professor HOLLOWAY, SIR,-I suffered for a period of thirty years from a bad leg, the result of two or-three different accidents at Gas Works; accom- panied by scorbutic symptoms. I had recourse to a variety of medical advice, without deriving any benefit, and was even told that the leg must be amputated, yet, in opposition to that opinion, your Pills and Ointment have effected a complete cure in so short a time, that few who had not witnessed it would credit the fact. (Signed) WILLIAM ABBS. The truth of this statement can be verified by Mr. W. P. Eng- land, Chemist, 13, Market-street, Hudersfield. A DREADFUL BAD BREAST CURED IN ONE MONTH. Extract of a Letter from Mr. Frederick Turner, of Pens- hurst, Kent, dated December 13th, 1850. To Professor HOLLOWAY, Dear Sir-My wife had suffered from bad breasts for more than six months, and during the whole period had the best medical attendance, but all to no use. Having before healed an awful wound in my own leg by your unrivalled medicine, I determined again to use your Pills and Ointment, therefore gave them a trial in her case, and fortunate it was I did so, for in less than a month a perfect cure was effected, and the benefit that various other branches of my family have derived from their use is really as- tonishing. I now strongly recommend them to all my friends. (Signed) FREDERICK TURNER. A WONDERFUL CURE OF A DANGEROUS SWELLING OF THE KNEE. Copy of a Letter from John Forfar, an Agriculturist residing at Neieborough, near Hexham, dated May 15th, 1850. To Professor IIOLLOWAY, SIR,—I was afflicted with a swelling on each side of the leg. rather above the knee, for nearly two years, which increased to a great size. 1 had the advice of three eminent Surgeons here, and was an inmate of the Newcastle Inflrmary for four weeks. After various modes of treatment had been tried, I was discharged as incurable. Having heard so much of your Pills and Ointment I determined to try them, and in less than a month I was completely cared. What is more remarkable I was engaged twelve hours a day in the Hay Harvest, and although I have followed my la- borious pccupation throughout the winter, I have had no return whatever of my complaint. (Signed) JOHN FORFAR. AN INFLAMMATION IN THE SIDE PERFECTLY CURED. Copy of a Letter from Mr. Francis Arnot, of Breahouse, Lothian Road, Edinbro', dated April 29th, 1851. To Professor Holloway SIR, For more than twenty years my wife has been subject from time to time, to attacks of inflammation in the side, for which she was bled and blistered to a great extent, still the pain could not be removed. About four years ago she saw, In the pa- pers, the wonderful cures effected by your Pills and Ointment, and thought she would give them a trial. To her great astonishment and delight she got immediate relief from their use. and after perseyering for three weeks the pain in her side was completely CUTC, and she has enjoyed the, best of health for the last four years. 1 (Signed; .FRANCIS ARNOT.

PART THE SECOND treats of the consequences resulting from excessive indulgence, and their lamentable effects on the system, pro- ducing mental and bodily weakness, nervous excitement, and genera- tive incapacity. It is particularly addressed to those who are prevented in consequence, from entering into the marriage state, and points out the sure means of perfect and secret restoration to manhood. It is illustrated by 10 Explanatory Engravings- PART THE THIRD treats of the diseases resulting from infection either in the primary or secondary form, & contains explicit directions for their treatment. The consequences of early neglect orof mistreat- ment, and 01 the abuse ot mercury, in eiuaiuug urouen neaun, ana a miserable existence, are also clearly pointed out. This section is illus- trated by 62 Coloured Engravings. PAltT THE FOURTH contains a remedy for the Prevention of Disease by a simple application, by which the danger of infection is obviated. Its action is simple but sure. It acts with the virus che- mically, and destroys its power on the system. Thisimportant part of the Work should not escape the reader's notice. PART THE FIFTH is devoted fo the consideration of marriage and its duties. The reason of physical disqualiifcations, and the causes of unproductive unions are also considered, and the whole subject critically and philo- sophically inquired !nto. The CORDIAL BALM of SYRIAOUM is expressly employed to enovate the impaired powers of life, when exhausted by the influence exerted by solitary induigence on the system. Its action is purely balsamic; its power in reinvigorating the frame in all cases of nervous and sexual debility, obstinate gleets, impotency, barrenness, and debilities arising trom imprudent excesses, has been demonstrated by its unvaiying success in thousands of cases. To those persons who are prevented entering the married state by the consequences of early errors, it is invaluable. Trembling of the hands, head-ache, faint- ings, and- Female complaints are, under its immediate influence, cured and when the system has receivcda shock, and is debilitated from imprudence and inattention in the early part of life, or is sinking under the advance of years, or by long residence in hot or cold cli- mates, this medicine will afford immediate assurance of returning strength, by giving tone to the muscular system and organs of di- gestion.

I THE ROYAL ACADEMY-DINNER.
I THE ROYAL ACADEMY-DINNER. On Saturdiy evening the Council of the Royal Academy gave their anniversary festival at the National Gallery, TrafalgapsquWe, which was made the occasion for the utterance, of many eloquent addresses by members of the present and the late Administrations. The banquet was served in the great or East Saloon, where tables were laid out for nearly 200 guests. The President of the Academy, Sir Charles Locke East- lake, took the chair at six o'clock; upon his right were seated, in the order nanied-The Earl of Derby, the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Home Secretary, the Foreign Secretary, the Colonial Se- cretary, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Secretary at War, the Master of the Rolls, the Attorney General, and the Right Hon. C. J. Hemes. Upon the chairman's left were the Duke of Beaufort, Duke of Newcastle, Duke of Wellington, Marquis of Lansdowne, Marquis of Abercorn, Marquis of Westminster, Marquis of Normanby, Marquis of Northampton, Marquis of Granby, and Lord Ashburton. Among the other principal guests at the table we remarked —the American Minister, the Prussian Minister, the Turk- ish Minister, the Portuguese Minister, Earl of Aberdeen, Earl De Grey, Earl of Cawdor, Viscount Palmerston, Earl of Rosse. Earl of Clarendon, Earl Grey, Lord John Russell, Earl of Harrowby, Earl of Ellesmere, Earl of Yarborough, Earl Granville, Viscount Canning, Earl of Carlisle, Earl of Lovelace, Lord Monteagle, Lord Londesborough, Lord De Tabley, Lord James Townshend, Lord Seymour, the Lord Chief Justice, the Bishop of London, the Right Hon. Sydney Herbert, Itight Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Right Hon. T. B. Macaulay, Colonel the Ifon. C. B. Phipps, the Dean of St. Paul's. Sit Robert Harry In.g,Us.M.P ..tb,.Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Sir Roderick Murchison, Dr. Whe- well, the Chairman of the East India Company, Sir Charles Wood, the Governor of the Bank, the Chairman of the Board of Customs, the President of the College ot Phy- sicians, the Right Hon. H. Labouchere, Professor Wheat- stone, Professor Faraday, Mr. Charles Dickens, Mr. Hallam, Mr. Corbitt, Mr Forster, Sir J. Lubbock, Sir E. Landseer, Professor Owen, the Master of Dalwich, Mr. Grote, and Sir George Staunton. The President proposed, in a few words, The health of her most gracious Majesty the Queen." The toast was drunk withAll the honours, and followed by the National Anthem. J The President next gave I he health of the Prince Con- sort," whose patronage of the arts and sciences Sir Charles eulogised in very warm terms. The toast was drunk with all the honours. The President proposed as the next toast, "the Army and Navy." With it they were privileged to connect the name of the illustrious warrior who had honoured them that evening with his presence. (Cheers.) Let him be permitted to remind them that it was the birthday of Field-Marshal the Duke of Wellington. (Loud cheers.) The arts, as the fairest results of peace, might, not inappropriately, represent the homage of a nation to its defenders, who, having achieved peace by arms, did it honour and guarded it by their coun- sels. (Cheers.) He gave them the Army and Navy, and the Health of Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington." (Much cheering. ) The Duke of Wellington said,—Mr. President and Gen- tlemen of the Royal Academy, I beg leave to return my thanks to you for the honour you have done me in drinking my health with your good wishes for the army and navy. What I particularly request to call the attention of the company to is the fact that this happens to be my birthday. (Cheers.) By the favour with which I have been received by the Royal Academy, and most particularly on this occasion, I beg again, as I have frequently done before in this assembly, to return thanks for the navy (Cheers), though I see present my noble friend the First Lord of the Admiralty, who is more nearly connected with that service. But I have to do no more than to express to you that both services are duly and highly sensible of the honour done to them, and the advantages they derive from the approbation of such gentlemen as those who compose the assembly I have the pleasure of addressing, Gentle- men, the services will be rejoiced upon learning that it is considered they continue to deserve the approbation of their country. (Cheers.) Both services, but particularly -the army, have been involved in great difficulties, but I do not doubt, gentlemen, but that.it will turn out that the approba- tion of this company is founded upon a just estimate of the manner in which they have performed their duty. It has been highly satisfactory to me, as it must have been to all of you, to have observed that in the great difficulties and misfortunes which all services are liable to, the officers and soldiers of the army have conducted themselves as they ought to do. (Cheers.) They have shown, under the most difficult circumstances, the utmost subordination, order, and discipline (cheers), and the officers of the navy were in these trials the first to provide for the relief of the helpless. (Loud cheering) The women and the children (said his Grace, with au emphasis that affected the whole company) were all saved-an accoip^ was given and rendered of every child and woman. (Cheers.) This, gentlemen, is a proud fact for the services of this country-it must have been satisfactory t& you all, and it shows that, under any circum- stances, you on tg^upon thek^ubordination a*d discipline. (Cheers.) In the name ofthfe army and tiavy I Veg to return you thanks for the honour you have done them. [His Grace resumed his placq amid cheers and prolonged murmurs of applause. He withdrew in a few moments afterwards during the glee Discord! dire Sister of the Slaughtering Power," to honour Miss Burdett Coutts with his presence, as has been his wont pn his birthday for several years back.] The President next gave the health of Her Majesty's Ministers." The Earl of Derby, in responding, expressed the extreme pleasure at being present at a meeting where no difference of political opinion could arise (hear). He thanked the President and the company for the honour they had paid to the ministry of which he was a member, and he could con- scientiously assure them that he was most desirous, with the aid of his right hon. friend, Mr. Disraeli-(Iaughter.)-to do what he could towards providing a better building than they had at present for the cultivation of the arts in this country (hear.) The toast of the Illustrious guests" who had honoured the Academy with their presence, was responded to by The Marquis of Salisbury, who said it was Ihe first time he had ever dined with the Royal Academicians, but from the amount of gratification he had derived from his first visit, he hoped it would not be the last. (Cheers and taugfuer.? and Painting," cou- 11augntero) an d Painting, cou- I pling the name of Mr. Disraeli with the toast. The Chancellor of the Excheauer returned thanks. He said, my name has been referred to by the noble lord who has previously addressed you; but it was in a capacity less endearing than that of a member of the republic of letters (laughter). I can assure you, my noble friend, that any ap- peal made to me in my official capacity to advance the arts will always find a ready sympathy in my breast; but I beg to remind my noble friend and the company I have now the gratification of addressit)gv.that_a§ regards the task I attempt to fulfil, the hope so long indulged in, that Art may find a habitation worthy of its lofty mission, is one full of difficul- ties, and that I must look for aid and sympathy to other quarters than I can command before I can secure success. I cannot forget that if the House of Commons be applied to for this great object, there sits there one who is distinguished for ability, and who is-what I have no claim .to-an emi- nent and successful statesman (cheers.) If I could be assisted by the noble lord the member for London, (cheers) —if he would but exert his authority in that house, on whatever side he may sit, I might indeed indulge in the hope that I would succeed in fulfillinst vour expectations and in achieving a great result, which has been too long delayed, and to which my noble friend so significantly alluded to-night. I will indulge in the hope from that reference that a palace may arise in this great metropolis worthy of the arts, worthy of the admiration of the foreigner, worthy of this mighty people, as the becoming emporium where ?ll the genius and inventions of man may be centred and celebrated but to accomplish that hope we must enlist all the sympathies of all the parties in the State and it is not to me-one whom accident has placed in a position for which he is not qualified —but to. those whose long service and the evidence of whose great abilities have gained the confindence of the country, you must look and if assisted by the noble lord the member for the City of London, then, indeed, the Royal Academy and this company may expect the accomplishment of that which they have so long desired and, in the hope that the noble lord will so assist us, I will break through the etiquette of the evening, and, with yo«r permission, I will venture to propose to you 11 The health of the noble lord the member ior the city of London" (great laughter, cheering, and applause). The President, amid renewed laughter, said that he had intended to propose that toast, but his intervention was unnecessary. He called on them to drink the health of Lord J. Russell. Lord J. Russell—Mr. President, I am extremely obliged to you and to this company for adopting and sanctioning the toast which the Chancellor of the Exchequer has some- what irregularly proposed (cheers and laughter). I thought I was safe from being called on in the course of this evening, because I remember that last year you said, as the Lord Mayor ot London was not present, you expected me to return thanks for him, and as I saw the Lord Mayor was present this evening I imagined I should be excused (laugh- ter and cheers). With resoect to the allusions the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer has made, whether they were in jest or earnest, or in both (laughter)-my efforts shall be used to provide a better habitation for the Royal Academy (cheers). No one knows better than the President himself that we were, as governments will be, afraid of taking the responsibility of fixing on a site for the building. We knew if it were placed in the middle of the town we should be told the pictures would be spoiled by the smoke and dust, and crowds of idle boys-(Iaughter)-and that if it were placed at some distance from the city, we should be told we were putting them where the people could not reach them, and the objects of art would be beyond their power to %isit. In this difficulty we called on you to fix a site, and a commission was appointed, but neither the government nor the commission, as it happened, assisted each other in fixing on the new site- (laughter)—and so nothing was done. It is a difficult matter to give satisfaction in such a case, and it will take time to decide upon the bfst course, but I hope we may at last be successful. I am glad to hear from my noble friend the Earl of Derby the sentiment to which I shall certainly readily answer, that differences of politics do not interrupt or dissolve private friendships—(loud cheers.) I ventured last year to observe that it was remarkable how many per- sons eminent in the arts had succeeded in literature, and that we had no better works than those written by painters who at the same time were at the head of their profession and I stated that I had not remarked that many of those great in literary eminence bad shown similar proficiency in the art of painting (cheers and laughter). Mr. Burke and Mr. Macaulay were both famous in literature, but I do not know that either of them could produce a picture equal to any in this room. Now, this is an arena which yet remains open for the Chancellor of the Exchequer—(cheers and laughter)—and, as he has succeeded in so many things already, I hope he will try to succeed in the fine arts as he has done in literature, and as I must say he has done in political science (great laughter and cheering.) The toast of the Foreign Ministers" was acknowledged by his Excellency Chevalier Bunsen. The health of the "Lord Mayor" and several other toasts foUowed, and the party broke up at half-past ten o'clock.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.I
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. j Louis Napoleon (says the Atlas) has found something in France which does not bow in silence to his absolute au- thority. The tribunal to whom the appeal respecting the decrees lately issued against the Orleans property was referred, has absolutely dared to come to a decision which threatened to stop the course of confiscation, This is accepted as a token pregnant with vast results that the triumphant career of despotism will find a check. Public opinion has ratified the sentence of the judges, and shown by unmistakeable tokens how much their bold defence of a power which has never yet allowed itself to be attacked with impunity, has been appreciated. M. Napoleon, however, will not, or cannot,, recede., To show pbedience even to his own laws would look too .much like -weakness. By a tech- -nical-e«atri»ance, the appeal is smovqd. rra* Judufe} Court and handed over for judgment to the Senate, whose members have just been nominated, some of them richly pensioned, and all of them immediately removeable by kis mere will. Before such a court it is not in possibility that the cause should be decided' except in one way. Louis Napoleon will keep his hold of the coveted domains'-and pay for them, in the end perhaps, only too dear. Two facts appear in the papers of Sunday which show, how little real power the legislative body has, as a check, op the public expenditure. It is announced, in the first place, that Louis Napoleon is determined, in consequence of his recent visit to the Sologne, to expend two million of francs on the improvement and drainage of that desolate district; and secondly, that a credit of one hundred thousand francs has been opened in favour of the Minister of War, towards the expenses of the great review which is to take place on the Champ de Mars on the 10th of May. Now, although the legislative corps is sitting at the present moment, neither of these items of expenditure has been submitted to that body, nor has any law been passed for the purpose of legalising the outlay. Even the formality of a decree is not considered necessary. Rumours of matrimonial alliances for the Pre- sident are again in circulation. Princesses of Hesse-Cassel and of Spain are spoken of, probably, both with equally good foundation. A terrible explosion has destroyed all the fire- works at Vincennes destined for the 10th of May. The men being at dinner none were hurt. I GERMANY. I A telegraphic despatch, via Paris, announced the death of Charles Leopold, Grand Duke of Baden, at the age of sixty- two, after a reign of twenty-two years. He is succeeded by his so;). Prince Louis, aged twenty-eight. A letter from Vienna, dated April 21, stated that all Kos- suth's relatives have been set at liberty by the Austrian Government, and that they will leave the country on the 1st of May. Hanover has declared for Frussia in the contest now pending in Germany on Customs-unions questions. In the last sittingbut one of the Vienna congress, the representative of Hanover declared that he should not be able to sign the protocol which commits the subscribing governments to the Austrian scheme, alleging the obligations of the treaty with Prussia, and his objections to the substance of the Austrian propositions. The Hanoverian government, he stated, would be ready to enter with Prussia and other states, parties to the September treaty, into negotiations with Austria for a commercial treaty, with a view to subsequent completer customs union. The gardeners at Dresden, at a ball recently given by .them, presented the ladies assembled with fans made of natural flowers, which, by a very simple piece of mechanism opened and closed like ordinary fans. ■ Nicholas Gogol, one of the most distinguished of the modern authors of Russia, died a few weeks ago at Moscow. He was excessively poor, but that was his own fault, as he repeatedly refused to accept the liberal offers of publishers for a new and completed edition of his writings. His reason for thus refusing was that he had fallen into religious mys- ticism, and fancied that his publications constituted a deadly sin. He iVould have destroyed them all if he could, and carefully burned all his unpublished manuscripts. It has been represented that he was prosecuted by the Russian censors of the press, but, so far from this being true, he was, jt appears, a sort of chartered libertine with the peA, <Mi<L that by^tbe Emperor'f .express orders. Ilj# gorks throw great ligfrt on Russian manners/ antf he ftaf been a n d- be i i called the Russian Dickens. Just before breathing bis last, he exclaimed, Ah! if people knew how; pleasant it is to die they would not fear death I CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. I The Amazon, 26, Captain Barker, arrived at Spithead on Thursday morning from the East Indies and the Cape of Good Hope. She has five days' later Dews from the latter place, having left Simon's Bay on the 17th of March. Hos- tilities have been partially suspended by the Caffres, who had sued for peace but, as they would not agree to the terms of unreserved submission which Sir Harry Smith laid down, he was arranging a plan of operations on an effec- tive scale, and would take the field on the 8th of March with the whole of the levies, with whom, in person, he intended to cross the Kei. Colonels Mitchell and Eyre, in the Amatolas, had been very successful. They had destroyed the whole of the crops, taken large quantities of cattle, and killed twenty- six of the enemy, with a loss to the British of three killed and wounded. A desperate engagement had taken place on the north-eastern frontier, between a patrol under Commandant Gilfillan and a large body of Tambookies, in which the latter lost 100 men and 1,000 head of cattle: the burghers had fire killed and three wounded. Macomo retained his hold of Waterkloof, with, besides his own clan, 2,500 allies. Their expulsion appeared almost hopeless. Colonel Pole and the 12th Lancers had destroyed the enemy's crops in the Kabousa. The Hydra, having on board General Cathcart, had not arrived at the Cape. The Magsera, with the service Companies of the 1st Battalion of the Rifle Brigade on board, had not arrived. The Amazon has brought home the survivors of the Bir- kenhead's crew. Not a single survivor had been heard of other than those already reported. The Dutch barque Juno, Captain Chevalier, from Batavia to Dordrecht, was wrecked March 2d, on the fatal Cape Laguelhas, and two ladies and three children, passengers, were drowned. AMERICA.—The Atlantic mail-steamer reached Liverpool on, Thursday last, with dates from New York to April 17. She brings 125 passengers, but no specie. A despatch from New Orleans announces that a bloody fight receently took place near Havannah, between some English and American sailors, in which several were killed. By the arrival of the Sierra Nevada at New York, three days' later news from California had been received. There had been a great overflow in the interior of the state, destroying a vast amount -of property in the shape of buildings and bridges. Sacra- mento, Marysville, and Neveda were inundated. The accounts from Galapagos Islands inform us of the seizure of the American whale ship George Howland by the Ecudcrean convicts. After setting the officers and crew on shore, and murdering the governor of the island, the villains set sail  for Tombez. On the way they captured a small schooner filled with men, who were going to join theFlores expedition. They cut the throats of 23 of these expeditionists, in hope of making atonement to the government for their former misdeeds. The murderers were eventually captured and carried to Guayaquil. STARVATION AT PICTON ISLAND.—Capt. Moorshead, of H. M. S. Dido, reports the death by starvation of Commander A. Gardiner and the whole of the party (six) sent-out by the Pantagoni-in missionary society in September 1850, to Picton Island, the southern extremity of America. The bodies were discovered last January in and near. Spaniard harbour, in a state of decomposition. Documents were found in Captain Gardiner's hand-writing, giving an affect- ing but harrowing narrative of their actions and sufferings almost to the hour of his death, probably on September 6, 1851. The Dido was despatched by government on a re- presentation made by the Rev. G. P. Despard, of Redland, near this city. It is probably notified, in a despatch from Rear-Admiral Moresby to the Admiralty, that "the earnest application of sanguine minds for the propagation of Chris- tianity must, in a climate like Cape Horn, first consider the locality where existence can be ensured." AN EXTRAORDINARY LOTTERY.—The authorities of Posen have enough to do to answer the strange applications that are sometimes made to them by the Polish and German npasantrv. For some time Dast the officials have received numbers of applications for shares in a Rothschild Lot- tery," of which they of course knew nothing but, on inquiry it was found the peasants have been persuaded that the great Rothschild" has been sentenced to be beheaded But from his intimate relations with the European monarchs he has been allowed to procure a substitute (if he can) by lot- tery! For this purpose a sum of many millions is devoted, ,all the tickets to be prizes of 3,000 thalers each, except one that fatal number is a blank, and whoever draws it is to be decapitated instead of the celebrated banker! Notwith- standing the risk, the applicants for shares have been numerous, and the officials are scarcely believed when they explain to the deluded people that the lottery is a fiction. ARRIVAL OF AUSTRALIAN GOLD.—The ship Brilliant arrived in the Downs on Thursday from Port Philip, after a favourable passage of eighty-nine days, having on board about two tons and a half of the precious metal, which is valued at £ 217,000. She brings news from the colony up to the 21st of January,and reports that by the 1st of Feb- ruary the ships Statesman and Aberfoyle would have sailed with 80,000 ounces of gold. The day the Brilliant left Port Philip twenty-one vessels were entering the harbour, most of them freighted with emigrants from the adjoining colonies. New dissins had been discovered at the Muddv creek and the Hume river, promising as fertile a field as the most pro- ductive spots. The Melbourne Argus, of the 17th of Janu- ary, states that up to the 20th of December 163,414 ounces of gold had arrived at Melbourne and Geelong, and 80,000 ounces still remain in the hands of the diggers, making the total yield up to that date 243,414 ounces, worth 9730,242. 1
,MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.i
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. Her Majesty and Prince Albert have authorised their names to be put at the head, of a subscription list for the sufferers by the loss of the Birkenhead, and the Members of the cabinet have also subscribed. Homerton College, established as the training institution of the Congregational Board, of Education, was opened on Tuesday week. The Rev. John Harris, D.D., principal of the new college, delivered the inaugural address. Mr. Tlfourd, son of the learned justice, has written the Easter piece for the Royal Grecian Saloon, London. It is a burlesque on "The Bottle Imp," and is called "Spirits in Bond." At Kidderminster, last week, before the Commissioners of Taxes, Lord Warid, who pleaded guilty through his steward, was fined. £20. double duty amounting to ES Is. 8d., and 19s. 6d. expenses, for shooting without a certificate. Messrs. Bailey Vd Co., Bankers, of Abergavenny and Monmouth, were announced to have a banking establish- ment open at Newport last week. Mr. Forbes Stephenson, a Fellow of the Society of Anti- quaries, has bequeathed to that body E16,000 for the pro- motion of historical research and antiquarian investigation. Within the space of eighteen months the consumption of sugar in this country has increased by more than one-half, chiefly owing to the reduction of ikity. Three dwelling-houses in Cornhill, London, with their sites, were recently sold for the extraordinary sum of £ 23,000, equivalent to £ 400, QflD per acre.. Mrs. Hare, a daag&fer of Sir John PtUt, and sister-in-law to ttre well known Archdeacon Hare, the vigorous defender of Lord Jaho Rt^eUi -eottesiaatical measure Mrs Mary King, uf a have been received fata th* Popuh Church at Rome. The loss sustained by the bursting of the floodgate -at Bilberry is jC250,000, which would have -been saved if the commissioners had expended JE12 10s.! Nearly E19,000 was received in 1851 from soldiers who purchased their discharge from the British army. Mr. Moffatt having announced his retirement from Dart- mouth, intending to become a candidate for Ashburton, Mr. W. S. Lindsay, who lately contested the Monmouthshire boroughs, has offered himself to represent the first-named place. Mr. A. Plummer, M.D., late of No. 9, Steyne, Brighton, has decamped under the most disreputable circumstances. A husband and a father-he is reported to have abandoned those whom he was bound to foster and protect, and to have fled to America with a giddy girl, the daughter of respecta- ble parents in that locality, his amiable wife and daughters being on a visit to their relatives in Scotland. And this is not all. Independently of his offence against-memlity, the scampish doctor is said to have made free with 91,600 which Colonel Howard, a friend, had left in his care. The Duke of Wellington will give the weight of his in- fluence in favour of the policy of the Earl of Derby's Ca- binet but his Grace has expressed his decided disapproval of a re-imposition of any duties upon foreign corn. The Marquis of Douro, in his address to the electors of Norwich, avows the same sentiments, and pledges himself to vote for the repeal of the Maynooth Grant, should such a course be recommended by the Cabinet. y The Duke of Wellington completed his 83rd year on Sa- turday. Apsley House was thronged with visitors of rank, calling to congratulate the veteran warrior during the day. His grace proceeded to Buckingham Palace in the afternoon to pay a visit of congratulation to her Majesty the Queen and Prince Albert on the occasion of the natal day of his grace's godson, the iufant Prince Arthur. By the liberality of Mr. Rogers, the department of MSS. in the British Museum has been lately enriched with a document of peculiar interest to English literature, viz the original covenant of indenture between John Mil- ton, gent., and Samuel Symons, printer, for the sale and publication of" Paradise Lost," dated the 26th of April, 1677. By the terms of agreement Milton was to receive £5 at once, and an additional f5 after the sale of 1300 copies of each of the first, second, and third impressions" or editions-making in all the sum of £ 20 to be Tec-' ed for the copy of the work and the 3900 oopies I je docu- ment is signed and sealed by John Milton and witnessed by his servant Benjamin Greene." Mr. Rogers purchased it for one hundred guineas. In consequence of the vote of the House on Thursday night, the Crystal Palace will be immediately sold to pri- vate parties, whose offer of E70,000 had already been con- ditionally accepted-the condition being that the bargain should not take effect if the building was retained on its present site. The.work of removal was to commence on the, 1st of May. Mr. Carter, a Conservative, has been returned for Tavis- tock in the place of Mr. Trelawney, who voluntarily re- signed. his set a short time ago through private motives.. The friends of Mr. T. again proposed him, but be made no canvass. The numerous constituency of Tavistock voted on this occasion as follows :-Carter, 115; Trelawny, 89; Dr. Phillimore, 80. .1 At an electioneering meeting at Oldham, Mr. W. J. Fox, M,P., acknowledged that he had written in the "Weekly Despatch," under the signature of Pabfcola," but denied raft he hsf tiaver atUeked tradea^^R^ontft — The Salford Peel statue will -be -the first tMugurated- in England. The committee bed- Saturday last with the consent of the artist, Mr. NaUe, as the day on which the ceremony is to take place, and on which their labours will close. The Union Medkale mentions the death of a soldier who breathed his last at a military asylum near Venice, at the advanced age of 117 years; his father had lived 105 years, and his paternal uncle 107. A goose at Cockerham, 62 years of age, is now sitting upon her eggs. Last week, a girl named Laura Goodenough, whilst play- ing in Henrietta-street, Bath, fell from the iron railings and broke her thigh. The singular feature in this case is, that the little sufferer has met with a singular calamity no less than eight times in her short life of eight years. Mr. George Frederick Foden, the agent at Lancaster to the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres, has absconded with a sum of £500, which he had embezzled from his employer. It is believed that he has succeeded in effecting his escape to America. The Morning Post announces that "the silver cord is loosed that bound together the Amalgamated Operative Society; and the machinery which was to spin fame and power for Mr. Newton, and, perhaps, even to bear him triumphant into the Hall of St. Stephens, lies collapsed and shattered. On Saturday the fund stopped payment, and with it has ceased the motive power of the society. Since the middleof January, an accumulated capital of E25,000, reinforced from time to time by subscriptions, amounting in the aggregate to £ 15,000 at the least, has melted away. In three months E40,000 has been dissolved like mountain snow uiidcr the summer sun, and, like that mountain snow, has neither begotten new being, nor fertilised what it found already in life." The surveyor of highways for a township in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, lately returned in his report the fol- lowing answer. After the words in the schedule State all the nuisances," he wrote, We are plagued with a great deal of Irish."

A NEW TAX.—Mr. J. Nasmyth, of Patricroft, Manchester, rebukes slovenly and indolent farmers by suggesting to the Chancellor of the Exchequer that a tax on rushes, say at the rate of one farthing per tussock, would not only bring in a notable revenue, but would, at the same time, be the certain means of removing a burthen peculiar to land." THE FRIENDS OF THE CLERGY.—The second anniversary 1 festival of this institution, founded for the purpose of affording temporary assistance to clergymen in times of unforeseen pressure and misfortune, and for giving per- manent relief to their widows and orphans, was celebrated by a very elegant dinner at the London Tavern, on Wed- ncsday evening, Sir W Page Wood, M.P., presiding, sup- ported by a large number ofthe clergy and laity, when the munificent sum of upwardfof JE5,000 was announced as the subscription of the even'i i t-. Right Hon. Lord John Russell, M.P., has announced his intention of presiding next year; and it is a gratifying fact, that amongst the sub- scribers to the institutfou are to lie lewd the leadin2 mem- bers of both political parties. DROUGHT AT MANCHESTER.—A drought of extraor- dinary continuance is exposing the inhabitants of the subur- ban Manchester townships to great inconveniences for want of water. The corporation supply from the new works having failed to some extent, the water works committee have had to purchase 200,000,000 gallons from the Man- chester, Sheffield. and Lincolnshire Railwav COTODSDV. who supply it from their Peak Forest canal reservoirs. The price for this large quantity is £150. All the rain water cisterns have long been exhausted, and there are families so destitute that they can with difficulty procure enough to meet household requirements. Less than 3-10ths of an inch of rain has fallen within the district during the last two months. FAnM MACHIN Eny.-The -portable form produce mill. from Mr. Crosskill, of Beverley, which was announoed last week to be tried at Canterbury, on Saturday last, was worked in a field near the Cattle Market, in the presence of many of the leading agriculturists in the neighbourhood. The experiment was very satisfactory; it ground oats and beans, and to show what it was capable of doing, flint stones were ground to fine powder, by putting different kinds of grind- ing plates in, an operation which was attested in aboat fifteen minutes; and from which it appears that any sub- stance can be ground, from flint stones to barley MIW. The mill was driven by the portable steam engine belonging to Mr. Neame, of Selling, who, we are informed, has pur- chased the mill, and to whose spirit and enterprise the farmers of this neighbourhood owe this opportunity of see- ing the merits of this useful machine tested. At a pri- vate trial at Mr. Neame's farm, on Friday, at Selling, the mill crushed oats at the rate of 30 bushels per hour, and stllit beans at the rate of 60 bushels oer hour, and ground barley to fine meal at the rate of eight bushels per hour, besides grinding bones, and crushing flint stones, bricks, &c.-Kentigh Gazette. How TO COOK A POTA-zo.-Speaking of potatoes, stop 'till I immortalise my old mother's receipt. To dress a potato, wash it well, but let there be no scraping. At the thickest end cut off a piece the size of a sixpence." This is the safety-valve through which the steam escapes, and all rents in the skin are thereby prevented, just as the aforesaid valve prevents a rupture in the steam boiler. If you do this, oh for the mealiness of the potato I—The Cruise of the Midge. EAST SUFFOLK ELECTION.-On Saturday the election took place. The Solicitor General was nominated by Col. Bence, and seconded by Mr. Barthropp, tenant farmer. Mr. Houghton was nominated by Mr. Everett, and seconded by Mr. Howard, both tenant farmers. The High Sheriff called for a show of hands. The High Sheriff said he had no.difficulty in deciding that the show of hands was in favour of Mr. Houghton. Colonel Bence then demanded a poll. Mr. Houghton said, after the very decided mani- festation in his favour, he did not feel himself justified in going to the poll, thereby embarking in a useless and ex- pensive contest. The High Sheriff -then declared Sir Fitz- roy Kelly duly elected to represent the eastern division of the county of Suffolk. Sir Fitzroy Kelly addressed the electors in a lengthened speech. He admitted that Free Trade had cheapened bread, and has not reduced the wages of the manufacturing operative, but argued that cheapness has not increased consumption; all that has been effected in his opinion was that foreign corn to e amount of some mil- lions of quarters had been substituted for home-grown. His speech was, altogether, more determinedly Protectionist than any of his preceding addresses. SHEERNESS.—A«onrt martial took place on Saturday, the 1st inst., on board her Majesty's ship Waterloo, 120, Captain the Hon. Montagu Stopford, to investigate a charge preferred against Lieutenant William Kelly, of the Chatham division of Royal Marines, and serving as senior subaltern in her Majesty's ship London, 90, Captain G. R. Mundy, of having been absent from his ship without leave." The Court assembled at the usual boar of 8 a.m. members being sworn, and the necessary forms gone through, the prosecu- tor stated the circumstances connected wiih the charge, and produced witnesses in the support of it. The examination of them being concluded, prosecution closed, when the,prisoner (who was uuuai&Wd) being asked if he had any defence to m<? to theelè '&&ainst him, requested to be .Rowed a short time to prepare, which being acceded to, the Court 841joumH. On its re-assemb- ling the Judge Advocate proceeded to read the defence of the prisoner, which set forth, ia mitigation of his offence, that such was the state of his health at the time it was com- mitted that hejras not conscious of his own aetions. The Court was then cleared, and after a short deliberation strangers admitted, and the Judge Advocate announced the sentence, which adjudged the said Lieutenant. William Kelly to be dismissed her Majesty's service." EXPULSION FROM A DISSENTING COLLEGE.—lhree stu- dents have been expelled from the New Dissenting College in London. Mr. Robert d, A.M., one of the ex- pelled, has published a suSfent of facts" connected with the expulsion On the 3d of February last, in riass, Dr. Harris, the principal, whose attendance seems to have been directed to the heresies of certain. students, put questions, which led to a conversation that lasted tHree quarters ol an hour. Three of the students, MT. Theoboid, Mr. rlste wait and Mr. Frederick White, were summoned before a,meeting Iof the'Council,, on the 13th, and, in the interval, invited each to hold a conversation, severally, with Professor Godwin. On the 13th, each was before the Council for about hali-an- hour, and cross-examined by laymen as well as ministers. Next day, the students were told that they had expressed opinions incompatible with their retention in College. The father of the two gentlemen named White attended at the next meeting of the Council, and made three demands: Tbat the moral conduct of the students be placed above suspicion that the opinions for which they were condemned should be distinctly stated that the creed or law, according to which they were judged, should be produobd. These-demands were not granted. The points in controversy with Mr. Theobald appear to have been these:—He regaided the Bible as being not in itself a revelation, but the record of a revelation he accepted the Bible as au historical record of au*thoiity rest- ing on its eternal worth be repudiated a conil)ari.,on- of the inspiration aecorded to the writers and that accorded to men of genius like Shakspere, although derived from the same origin, because in the one case directly conveying inj unc- tions to mankind, and in tJ. jther indirectly instructing. THE QUESTION OF L IB ADMISSION OF TIIE EVIDENCE OF THE WIFE 0, PARTY TO A SUIT.-III the case if Stapleton v t, which was an action tried before Mr. Just' "Fi'.e, the question was raised whether the wife of a p:¡; to a cause could be admitted as a witness in favour ei or against her hashand. The defendant's wife had been called as a witness, and had been allowed to "give her evi- dence by the learned judge, and upon her testimony the defendant obtained a verdict. Lord Campbefl, Mr. JUS ice Wightman, and Mr. Justice Crompton, were of opinio-if-tbat the rule ought to be made absolute, on the ground apt the wife of the defendant had been improperly admitted as a witness. Lord Campbell said that in his option it wou a be an improvement in the law of evidence to admit the wite as a witness for or against her husband, under certain re- strictions. She ought not to be allowed to be a witness fer or against him in a criminal case, and no confidential com mnsications that had passed between them ought to be dis- closed but with these, and some other limitations, he thought the investigation of .truth, and the administration of justice, would be very much furthered by admitting husbands and wives to be witnesses for or against each other. However, he could only look to the statute, and see what the Legisla- ture had enacted, and the history of the bill in pass:ng through Parliament could not be considered Mr. Justice Erie differed. He was of opinion that the section of the Mt which wUet competent to give evidence in their -own rwse..?%koi -4-"oeix wives competent to appear and ??!r?tM!<Hr? ?)? Tbe-wif?-wMadrntt?d f?n?Hten'Lm? ? ?mk.Mptey. and an inconsistency would be aMr&Utea?to Parliament if she were ?eluded i. tri.l, at :=Mon law from giving evidence as to matters which came within her province as- 4L wife, or which were conducted by her as agent for her husband, or which she had happened to witness. The idea that husbands would generally suborn their wives to commit perjury and perse- cute them if they spoke truth was, to his mind, increase at the present time. The majority of the Court being of opinion that the evidence of the defendant's wife was improperly admitted, the rule for a aew trial was made absu- lute DESTRUCTIVE ACCIDENT A.T THE MALAGO VALE COL- LIERY.—BRISTOL, May 1.—A most painful amount of con- sternation and alarm prevailed to-day throughout this city and neighbourhood, in consequence of its becoming known. that another of those destructive colliery accidents, which have been of frequent occurrence of late, had occurred at one of the numerous collieries which abound in the Bed- minater coalfield. The unfortunate occurrence took place at about half past five o'clock this morning, at the Malago Vale Pit, Bedminster, the property of Messrs. Rennolds and Co. There were at the time thirty-three men and boys at Work in the veins, and everything was going on as usual, when all of a sudden there was heard a 'errible smash of the engine. The great fly wheel of the colliery, which is fourteen feet in diameter, of massive iron, and weighing qix tons, works in connection with a small cog wheel, on the fly-wheel shaft, which is technically termed the II nut." While the engine was employed in raising a cart of coals, weighing about thirty cwt., this small wheel broke in the boss, and the fly wheel being released from all restraint, the engine dashed off with tremendous impulse, tearing away the massive pieces of iron work and masonry connected with it, and snapping beams of many feet in circumference as if they were bits of stick. The large new rope which works 00 the urum shaft broke like a riband-the cart and coal, with the rope attached, were dashed down the shaft, and the «tound for many yards around the mouth of the pit was strewed with the debris of the ruin. Of course the first anxiety was for the hands below, who, it was feared, might have been injured by the falling materials, or blocked ia by damage to the shaft itself. After some considerable time, those above had the satis- faction of learning from the filler, who was at the bottom of the shaft, and to communicate with whom a man was sent down by means of a horse whim, that all the hands had miraculously escaped injury, although they were of course terribly alarmed, the more especially as they could not tell to what cause to ascribe the sounds they hea;L Of course any attempt to lower the bucket was entirely out of the question, and the horse engine being rigged with a whim, the raising of the hands was proceeded with. This was neces- sarily a work of considerable time, hot at length the wives and relations of the miners had the satisfaction of seeing them all restored to them. The .pecuniary loss of the pro- prietors must be very considerable. PROTECTIONIST CANVASSING PARTIES.—The party which would tax the poor man's loaf has now a man as minister whom it regards as the great champion—a man who, unruly and anruied, has failed to bold an abiding place in any one pure political party. He lent himself -to their purpose brought eloquence, a great name, and exaggerated zeal to their selfish cause; they paid his price, gave him all an 'ifted him to the English party can give of hero worship, lifted him to the pbsition which placed the government in his hands. Lord Derby is reputed to be a man of great courage, but even he shrinks from a contest with the defenders of cheap bread. For once the people uplift a banner on which the boldest minister who ever breathed dares not to lay a finger. It has been their special lot to earn bread, not to inherit it-to give the sweat of thehubrow as its purchase money; tlsey have not yet spoken out, for they don't believe the power exists which dares again to tax their food. But, let the contest come I know them well, and well I know they will speak with a voice, and act with an energy, which for quiet's sake the country might well be spared. Tax luxuiy, tax extravagance, nay, tax the comforts of life, but let the very staff of existence at least go free. Is the contentment which has of late so blessed the poor man's home founded on any Surplusage of either ease or toodk Is there any margin to the labourer's page of life frota which you may take a portion to aid any other class ? I can conceive no more debasing an occupation than that of going from house to house, from Tillage to village, to ask for votes for protection to the owner and occupier of land at the cost of the man by whose muscles it is tilled. With lips dewed with the squire's wine or the tenant's good strong ale, gently but bountifully dropped on good "repasts of earth's best things, me grown and imported, oa they go—the hired lawyer, the sturdy squire, the Protectionist farmers—nay, shame iomic-Limen the ministers of peaoe—passing cottage after tot%tge in which wine is never tasted but at the cost of medicine, i.e. sickness, in which meat is seldom known and bread hardly earned; on they go, amerry, triumphing party, seeking aid in scenes of poverty to have the poor made still poorer, asking votes for Lord Derby's government, power for the party who, to keep up rents, would keep down the con- dition of the class on whose patient toil all rents depenl.- 'Rev.

HOLLO-WAX'S OINTMENT AND PILLS. —A DANGEROUS WOUND IN THE THIGH CCRED BY THEIR USE.—About three years ago Mr. Acton, of Melbourne, had his tigh most fearfully lacerated when out riding, his horse running away, and his leg coming in violent collision with a walL He was confined to his bed for nearly eighteen months, suffering from the accident: and notwithstanding the best medical advice, every effort proved unsuccessful in healing the wound and his health became so impaired that his life was de- spai. red of. In this state he commenced using Hollo way's Ointment and Pills, which had the effect of healing his wound with wonderful rapidity, and restoring him to :>4JiCtad health.
