Advertiser Office, Wisbeach, June 4th, 1852. Sir,-A customer of mine, Mr. Wm. Cooper, of Walsoken Road, Wisbeach, informs me that he has been troubled with severe attacks of Gout for many years. During the last attack, a few weeks ago, he was recommended to try Blair's Gout Pills. At that time he states that he had not slept for twenty-four hours, and the pain was like being racked with a hand-saw. After taking four of the pills he felt com- plete ease. He has continued to take them, and has suffered no further from the disorder. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, JOHN GARDINER." For Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, Tic-doloreux pains in the head and face, and all analogous complaints, it is a sovereign remedy and the speedy relief afforded in this instance, is parallel with the testimonials of Garret Foster Gill, Esq., 157, New Bond-street, the late Rev.

CURE OF A DISORDERED LIVER AND BAD DIGESTION Copy of a Letter fi-om Mr. R. TV, Kirkus, Chemist, 7, Prescot Street, Liverpool, dated 6th, 1851. To Professor Holloway, Sir,—Your Pills and Ointment have stood the highest on our sale list of Proprietary Medicines for some years. A customer, to whom I can refer for any enquiries, desires me to let you know the the particulars of her case. She had been troubled for years with a disordered liver, and bad digestion. On the last occasion, how- ever, the virulence of the attack was so alarming, and the inflam- mation set in so severely that doubts were entertained of her not being able to bear up under it; fortunately she was induced to try your Pills, and she informs me that after the first, and each succeeding dose, she had great relief. She continued to take them, and although she used only three Boxes, she is now in the enjoy- ment of perfect health. I could have sent you many more cases, but the above, from the severity of the attack, and the speedy cure, I think, speaks much in favor of your astonishing Pills. (Signed) R. W. KIRKU S.

A friend prevailed upon her to try Holloway's celebrated Pills, which she consented to do, and in an incredibly short space of time they effected a perfect cure, CURE OF A PAIN AND, TIGHTNESS IN THE CHEST AND STOMACH OF A PERSON 84 YEARS OF AGE. From Messrs. Thew c! Son, Proprietors of the Lynn Adver- tiser, who can vouch f(,r thejbllowing stateme;zt.-Aityust 2nd, 1851. To Professor Holloway, Sir,—I desire to bear testimony to the good effects of Holloway's Pills. For some years I suffered severely from a pain and tightness in the stomach, which was also accompanied by a shortness of breath, that prevented me from walking about. I am 81 years of age, and notwithstanding my advanced state of life, these Pills have so relieved me, that I am desirous that others should he made acquainted with their virtues. I am now rendered, by their means, comparatively active, and can take exercise without in- convenience or pain, which I could not do before. (Signed) HENRY COE, North Street, Lynn, Norfolk. AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF THE GRAVEL, AND A MOST DANGEROUS LIVER COMPLAINT. Copy of a Letter addressed to J. K. Ileydon, Esq., Sydney, New South Wales, dated Feb. 25th, 1851. Sir-A Mr. Thomas Clark, a Settler at Lake George, was for a considerable time seriously afflicted with a complaint of the Liver- together with the Gravel. His medical attendants, after trying all skill, candidly told him that his case was hopeless, and any further efforts useless. In this situation, and when expecting every da- would terminate his existence, a friend recommended him tu try Holloway's Pills, and as a forlorn hope he did so, the first dose gave him considerable relief, he therefore persevered in taking them according to the directions, aud is now restored to perfect health. lie will feel great pleasure in confirming this statement, or even make an affidavit to the same effect should it be required.

j MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. I The Cabinet Ministers are expected to assemble in Lon- don about the 14th of the present month, for the purpose of settling the period of the meeting of the new Parliament, which at present stands prorogued to the 21st of October. A Privy Council will very shoitly afterwards be held by the Queen, at which a proclamation will be issued, summoning the peers and members of the House of Commons to meet for the despatch of public business.- Obsei-ver. It is reported at Portsmouth that her Majesty has gra- ciously signified her pleasure that the name of the le- viathan line-of-battle ship Windsor Castle, 140, shall be I changed to that of "The Duke of Wellington," in token of her Majesty's high esteem for the memory of that lamented hero. The Queen will leave Balmoral on the 12th or 13th inst., on her return to Windsor. In the course of her route her Majesty will pass over the Shrewsbury and Stour Valley lines, which last will afford to the Sovereign a glimpse of the busiest seats of our hard ware manufacture as well as the great mineral fields of Staffordshire and Worcestershire. The royal party will, it is expected, leave Edinburgh on the 13th, and proceed via Carlisle to Chester, and thence to Bangor, where her Majesty will stop for the night. The following day, after inspecting the bridges, she will continue her progress along the Chester and Holyhesd, the Shrews- bury and Chester, and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Rail- way to Wolverhampton, thence, as we are informed, over the Stour Valley Railway to Birmingham, and so on over the newly-opened Birmingham and Oxford and Great Western Railways to Windsor. Her Majesty has appointed Sir Wm. Yardley, second judge of the supreme Court at Bombay, to be Chief Justice, in the room of Sir Erskine Perry, who retires. The Quren, by her warrant of the,6th of August last, has granted to Caroline Southey, the widow of the late Poet Laureate, a yearly pension of £ 200, in consideration," as In the warrant is set forth, "of her late husband's literary merits." A like warrant of the 9th of the same month con- fers a pension of E.,5 a year on Miss Louisa Stuart Costello, in consideration of her merits as an authoress, and her inability from the state of her health to continue her exer- tions for a livelihood. Her Majesty has also been graciously pleased to confer a pension of £ 100 a-year on the widow of the late Mr. Pugin, the architect. The talent displayed by the deceased in his decoration of the New Palace, at Westminster, for no man was more at home in the management of details, no doubt brought him into contact with Prince Albert, and led to the graceful recognition of his abilities by her Majesty in a way acceptable to his family. Thursday being Michaelmas-day, the election of an alder- man to fill the office of Lord Mayor of the City of London for the ensuing year, took place with the usual formalities at the Guildhall. Alderman Challis, M.P., and Alderman Sydney were the two senior aldermen, and Alderman Challis was, in usual course, elected. It is rumoured that Admiral Moorson is to succeed Mr. Glyn as Chairman of the London and North Western Rail- way Company. The present Duke of Wellington has declined to be ad- dressed by that title until after the funeral of his illustrious parent. It is stated that Sir Emerson Tennent, M.P., is to be ap- pointed to the office of Joint Secretary to the Board of Trade, vacant by the decease of Mr. G. R. Porter. The year 1769 was famous for the birth of great men. In that year were born Wellington, Napoleon, Soult, Cuvier, Humboldt, and Chauteaubriand. A communication was received at Oxford from the Earl of Derby, on Friday morning, thanking the gentlemen who signed the memorial for the honour they had done him, and acceding to their wish to be put in nomination for the office of Chancellor of the University. A committee has in conse- quence been formed to forward his election. The two noble peers and warriors now placed at the head of the army, Hardinge and Somerset, have only between them two arms, the pairs being severed on the battle field. The Pope has conferred the degree of D. D. on Mr. O'Con- nor, Mr. Sheriff Swift's chaplain. We have reason to believe that the statement of some of the Canadian and American papers, that Lord Elgin has been recalled from the Governor-Generalship of British North America, and that he is succeeded by Lord Harris in that office, is unfounded, or at leat premature. Tilizes. An arrangement has been concluded between the Bishop of London and the Secretary for Foreign Affairs as regards foreign chaplains. The Foreign Secretary has consented that they should receive the bishop's license that it is valid only as long as the chaplain holdfj her Majesty's appoint- ment and no longer." Several chaplains have already been licensed, and amongst them the Rev. Kenworthy Brown, chaplain at Madeira. -Globe. The property of the late Mr. Dyce Sombre is likely to afford ample fees for Doctors' Commons. The validity of the will has been disputed by yarious parties. The property in question amounts to £ 750,00(T. The Glasgow Courier says that two of the wrecked vessels of the Spanish Armada have been discovered off Donegal. An anchor has been raised and is to be sent to the British Museum. The staff of the recruiting districts in England, Ireland, and Scotland, have been ordered to raise men for the 18th, 23rd, 25th, 32nd, 37th, 43rd, 4.5th, 51st, 59th, 81st, and 9.)th regiments. The two last West India mdail steamers have brought to England a large quantity of topper ore Tfofflf tee mines rØ- cently discovered in Jamaica. The Austrian War Department has authorized experi- ments to be made to test the use of a bayonet made of India rubber. It is to be used to instruct the infantry in the bayonet exercise, as the thrusts can be made with it harm- lessly. For several days past the Athol hills have been capped with snow. Ice was on the ponds, and snow on the hills, in Strath-Tay, last week. The Aberdeenshire hills, especially around Balmoral, were covered, in the beginning of latt week, down to their base. The management and condition of Bethlehem Bospital have been pronounced by a committee, 01 which the Earl of Shaftesbury is the Chairman, to be in many material respects I, most unsatisfactory, both in reference to the purpose-, for which it was founded, and the very large funds by which it is maintained. tI THE ELECTION OF CHANCELLOR OF OXFOltD. t)L Con- vocation will be holden on Tuesday next, at 12 o'clock, for the election of the Chancellor of the University, in conse- quence of the lamented decease of his Grace Field Marshal ] the Duke of Wellington. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S FUNERAL. — It is confi- dently stated, in circles likely to be well informed on the subject, that the funeral of the late Duke of Wellington will take place on Saturday, the 13th of November. -Sunday Times. EMOLUMENTS OF THE DUKE.—The United Service Ga- I zette gives the following as the military py and allowances enioved by the late Duke of Wellington, viz. Yearly. I £ 8. d. Commander-in-Chief 5999 13 9 Colonel, Grenadier Guards (special allowance).. 1093 8 10 Colonel-in-Chief, Rifle Brigade 238 li 15 Lord Warden, Cinque Ports 471 10 0 Constable of the Tower, London 947 9 7 Forage Allowance 701 10 0 Total military pay and allowances. 9456 7 7 WELLINGTON AND THE FRENCH PRESS.—The Standard quotes the French Patrie, which is very angry with the other members of the Parisian press for having ventured even to name the Duke of Wellington in the same line with the great Napoleon." "History," says the Patrie, wilL say that the French army had in its ranks ten Wellingtons which the great figure of the Emperor kept in obscurity, and placed in the second rank while the coalesced powers, find- ing it impossible to oppose to Napoleon a capacity equal to his own, were reduced to the necessity of swelling the very ordinary merit of a man in whom there was merely the stuff of a good Marshal of France." 11 This," says the Standard, "is about the most unlucky fanfaronade that the poor Patrie could have made, for it happened that before the Duke of Wellington had an opportunity ofde?itolishi;zg I the great figure'' himself, he had successively beaten all his most celebrated lieutenants and marshals. For instance,—Junot —at Rolica and Vimiera. Victor—at Talavara. Massena —at Busaco and Fuentes d'Onor. Ney-out of Portugal and at Quatre Bras. Marmont—at Salamanca. Jourdain-at Talavera and Vittoria. Soult—everywhere, through Portu- gal, Spain, France, Flanders from Oporto to Waterloo THE EXPERIENCE OF A PROFESSIONAL TRAMP.—" Yer see," he designed to explain to me, after he had despatched his supper, I likes change. I summers in the country and winters in London. There's refuges and I ressipockles' (by which I presume he meant receptacles), in winter time, and lots of coves as gives yer grub. Then comes spring time I get passed to my parish,-the further off the better,—and I gets a penny a-mile. Wh$n J gets there I goes 'cross country, on quite another track I knows every union in England. In some they gives you bread and cheese, and in some broth, and in some skillygolee. In some they gives you breakfast in the morning, and in some they does'nt. You have to work your bed out. Here, Kingston way, you wheels barrows at Guildford you pumps; at Richmond you breaks stones at Farmham you picks oakum at Wands- worth they makes you grind corn in a handmill till your fingers a'most drops off at yer wristes. At Brighton, now, they're a good sort, and only makes you chop up firewood but Portsmouth's the place. You're a young un," he pursued, looking at me benignantly, and green. Now, I'll give you a wrinkle. It you're a-going to Portsmouth you manage to get there on a Saturday night, for they keeps you all day Sunday, and they won't let you do no work, and they gives you the jolliest blow-out of beef and taters as ever passed your breastbone. The taters is like dollops o' meal." "Why don't you chuck them ere shoeses off?" asked my friend as we plodded aloiif. Thev wouldn't fetch nothing to sell, and they're only a bother to walk in, unless you was to put some wet grass in 'em. Look at my trotters," he continued, pointing to his feet, and tapping the sole of one of them with the blade of his knife," they'se as hard as bricks, they is. Go buff-steppered, that's the game." Some remnant of Master Somebody's pride in his neat Bluchers must have lingered about me, for I declined the invitation to walk barefoot. When shoes is shoes," pursued the tiamp argumeritativel)- 11 they'se good for those as likes 'em which I don't but when they're 'crab-shells,' and leaky and gummy in the soles, and lark-heeled, the sooner you get shut of them the better. There's togs, too," he pursued, looking with proper pride at his own attire, the sooner you peel ott them cloth kicksies the better. There ain't no wear in 'em and they'se no good, if you ain't on the flash lay. My jacket's Guildford Gaol; my trousers is Dartford Union and my flannel shirt is the Society for the 'Ouseless Poor. When I can't patch'em no longer, and they gets all alive like, I tears em up. Do you know what 'tearing up' is? A course you don't. W ell, I goes to a union a night, and! rips up into bits every mortal bit I has upon me. Then they comes in the morning, and they puts me into a sack, and they puts me in a cart and takes me afore the beak. Tearing up is 21 days, and quod meals, which is mind ye reglar, is good for a cove, and freshens him up." Here he sat down on a milestone and, producing a remarkably neat housewife case, proceeded to overhaul all parts of his apparel with as much care and circumspection as if they had been of purple and fine linen, catching up any stray rents and Jacob's ladders" with a grave and deliberate countenance. -Dickens's Household Words. Mu. HOlE AXD REFORM.—Mr. Hume has addressed a letter to the editor of the Hall Advertizer on the subject of the importance of union amongst Reformers and with the Irish Liberal party," He fully admits the importance of forming by such a union a People's party" in the House of Commons, but adds that it would be as wise to attempt to make a rope of the sand of the sea-shoe as to unite the Li- berals unless they agree on some distinct and obtainable po- litical object. He says:-There is no common principle of adhesion among those that have hitherto been denominated Liberals, to join in the efforts which I have made to form a phalanx, that would early and late, and on all fit occasions, take the popular course, and support measures having the public welfare in view, and tending to increase the power of the people in the House of Commons. After repeated trials and after grand promises, the most noisy in their professions have too often been the first to desert their principles, and leave the party to make, as it has always done, a miserable and shabby appearance as to numbers. I could give you lists of deserters on such trivial grounds and pretences as would surprise you, and so frequent as almost to deter any man from attempting such an effort again. The people's league, or party, or union, by whatever name to be called, must agree on one point, say the bal!ot; and after a trial on one poikt, proceed from step to step to the other points-all important -until the attention of the public can be fixed on the pro- ceedings of the party. But if my experience, as regards the Irish Members hitherto in the House of Commons, is to be taken, the material is not likely to be of that substance to be moulded and kept in proper position, or under the influence of any leader; and any party so formed, of forty or fifty Irish, and fifty or sixty English and Scotch members, would soon have some such extravagant proceeding from some of the Irish or other Members as would damage and discredit the party, and also frustrate all efforts of the party, even in the best cause. There can be no doubt (says The Atlcip) but ■that Mr.Hume is right in the idea of the plan by which a liberal working people's party can alone be formed—the Ballot. Let them secure the success of that measure, and then proceed to another. That other may be an impracticable Irish ques- tion, but let it be fairly brought before the House and the country, and if it is defeated something will be gained. The bundle of political wrongs will not be broken while they are all together. Let practical Reformers try one at a time, and' we think they will find the fable as applicable to political as it is to other difficulties. MR. DISRAELI AXD GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE.— The Atlas says that "—If Mr. Disraeli gets nothing by the Duke of Wellington's death, he will be a very ill-used man. It may be quite legitimate for Lord Derby, as Premier, to appoint himself Warden of the Cinque Ports, and pocket JE500 a-year during his life, for which no services will be required. But who wants the £ 500 most—Lord Derby or Disraeli ? The one is as rich as a Jew the other is as poor as an. hoaest states- man ought to be. And then, who taught Lord Derby how to wait for the fortune ?" Who prompted him to gain the prizes which have fallen into his lap ? Does any one ima- gine that the fiery, unthinking declaimer of Lord Grey's Ad- ministration has been converted into the uneandid, eq uivoca- ting Prime Minister of the day, without tuition and advice ? Mr. Disraeli knows the French proverb, "Everything comes to him who waits and he taught Lord Derby how to wait with credit to himself and advantage to his friends. If some of the rich sinecures of the late Duke are not bestowed on the founder of our brilliant Administration, let Lord Derby look to it. It is rumoured that Government are doing the best they can for their humble friends." The higher prizes of Ministerial patronage are obliged to be decently bestowed but there is no reason why Mr. Thomas Brown, of the Trea- sury, should not be handsomely superannuated, so that a quiet berth may be found for Thomas Jones. Both parties are accommodated, and nobody suffers-for, of course, the little addition to the official expenditure of the country is ridiculously small, and Mr. Hume is growing old, and does not rout out everything as he did twenty years ago. Besides what's the use of a Government if it has not patronage and what is patronage if the possessor of it is obliged to bestow it on persons chosen by other people ?" ACCIDEXT AT THE OPENING OF THE BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD RAILWAY.—Preparatory to the opening of this line to the public on Friday, a special train left Paddington on Thursday morning at nine o'clock. propelled by tin mag- nificent engine "The Lord of the Isles," which formed a fea- ture in its department in the Great Exhibition. By this train travelled the directors and a large party of friends, with the baud of the Life Guards. Their destination was Bir- mingham, whence they were to return to Leamington to a grand dinner at the Regent. At Oxford several laiies and gentlemen entered the train. At this time the ordinary passenger-train, due at Banbury at 10..50, was on its way, and stopped at the Aynho road station, about six miles from Banbury, where tickets are taken. While this was being done the driver of the train observed the special train approaching at a rapid pace. He immediately put his engine in motion, but was unable to get it sufficiently under weigh to avoid a collision, though his presence of mind was no doubt the means of saving the limbs, if not the lives, of the passengers in his train. As it was, the crash was very great, and many of the passengers in the second-class carriages were much cut and bruised the trucks at the end of the train were smashed, and some of the second-class carriages were injured. The Lord of the Isles" went off the line, and is considerably damaged. Some of the passengers re- fused to continue their journey, and left the train those who remained were brought on to Banbury, and an engine with assistants to raise the disabled one was sent to Aynho, and returned with the special train, which it conveyed on- wards to Leamington, where it .stopped without proceeding to Birmingham, as originally intended. A dejeuner, attended by about 180 ladies and gentlemen, presided over by Mr. Simmonds, one of the directors of the Great Western rail- way, aftermarde took place ui;tIe hotel, and the c,nt'v hotcl, an d ther special train left Leamington for London about half-past seven, reaching the Paddington-station on Friday morning at a few minutes past one o'clock.—[We learn that the above untoward accident prevented Mr. Brunei from attending with the Government Inspector on Friday last, to inspect the South Wales railway between Carmarthen and Swansea, and that therefore a longer delay in the opening of that line was occasioned. ED. W.] AN EXTRAORDINARY SALE OF FARM STOCK.—The predictioas of the firmers' friends" were never more com- pletely falsified than on Thursday, at the sale of Mr. Moon's stock at Kelland Barton, in the north of Devon. There was a numerous gathering of agriculturists from the neighbour- hood and distant parts, and the oldest farmer present never remembered higher prices ever having been given for farm stock. The competition throughout was most spirited. The stock consisted of 80 choice Leicester ewes, 25 sows and 15 boar pins, 4 oxen, 5 heifers, 1 Devon bull, and several horses. The animals were in fine condition. The draught of 80 store ewes fetched from 50s. to 76s. a-head. The pigs (which were Fisher Hobbs's improved Essex breed) were next sold. The first sow realized flo 15s. the next, a three-year old, was knocked down at JE31 10s.; a 10-months old sow, £ 11 Os. 6d.; another, 11 months old, Ell lis another, JE18 7s. 6J. one, 14 months old, Ell Ils. and another, four months old, £ 15 10s.; and the rest were sold at proportionately high prices. Two boar pigs fetched £ 25 5s. and £ 17 6s. 6d. The proceeds of the sale were extraordinary, and far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of all interested. THE SCHOTTISHAM CASE.—On Monday, at noon, the fourteen day's watch over Elizabeth Squirrell terminated. One of the committee assures us that every means were takeu to ascertain whether she had possession of her sight and hearing, but she gave no indication that she had the use of these faculties. He also says that during the entire term of fourteen days she neither ate nor drank, and that the linen was unsoiled. At the close of the watch her parents were allowed to see her. After embracing them she became powerfully affected, and for some minutes it was feared that she was dead. The committee have unanimously signed a declaration that they acquit the girl and her parents of fraud. Many hundreds of persons visited her during the watch on Sunday seventy were present, and at the close of the term the cottage was crowded. On Thursday evening the matter is to be referred to at a public meeting at the Corn Exchange. THE SAVAGE.—The cant about the trammels of civilisa- tion, and the perfect liberty and independence of the savage in his native state, roaming where he listeiti, is all humbug nobody, in reality has less liberty than the savage Indian. He cannot say, This country and manner of life does not suit me; I will go and live elsewhere." The instant he sets foot out of his own country, he knows he will be scalped. His position realises to the letter—" In the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat bread." His every moment is taken up by his exertions to procure food. The laws even of the society he exists in render him anything but a free agent. Witness the young warrior whose lodge was slit up on a cold winter's night, and his gun broken, because he had hunted without leave—(game laws, vengeance). The more civilised and enlightened a country becomes, the greater liberty of thought and action its inhabitants enjoy. The honest labourer or sweeper of crossings in London has more real freedom than the proudest chief that ever hunted buffalo on the prairie. A YANKEE SPEECH.—The following speech was deli- vered by an annexationist at the recent election for Toronto, —" Feller citizens and horses, hurrah There's got to be a war. I'm for whipping Great Britain right off without stopping for compliments We must hustle the British lion heels over head out of the everlasting borders of this here western continent. Hurrah for the annexation of Canada We must have the critter neck and heels, if we have to wade in blood to our knees to pull it from the horns of John Bull. We must do it. Where's the possum whose little soul don't echo them sentiments ? He aint nowhere, and never was. Can't you, and I, and every one of us rouse up the wolf of human nature till he'll paw the whole of Oid England clear down below water-mark ? Yes, sir-ee. Every citizen of this land, from the owl on the hemlock to to the President in his great arm chair, is in favour of this all-thundering and liberty-spreading measure! Just let them glorious ideas pop into the United States cranium fairly, and see if an earthquake shout from 26,000,000 of India-rubber longs don't shake the whole earth, crack the zenith, and knock the very poles over I tell you there is nothing on the side of the millennium like our own everlast- ing institution nor you can't scrape up a flock of civilised bllngs on the face of the universal terra firma who know so well how to defend and spread them. Where's the Yankee who won't vote for his country within three-quarters of an inch of his life, if it tries his soul-yes, and his upper leather, too ? What's England ? Why it aint anything at all, scarcely. Uncle Sam will take it yet for a handkerchief, to blow his nose upon when he gets a cold. We are bound to wake up snakes, and no mistake. Let us once get hold of the job in right earnest, with all of Uncle Sam's boys, and if we don't dig a hole as deep as eternity with the spades of Yankee pluck, and scum the grease spots off the face of the world and pitch them clear to the bottom of it, then I am no two-legged crocodile. When this is done you will set the great roaring eagle of liberty like a big rooster crowing on top of a barrel. Why, you are all ready and primed for the onset-all you want is a live coal or two of fire dropped on devoted heads to touch off. Methinks the flashes of fire in your eyes to day forebode blood and thun- der-only mind you don't flash in the pan 1 If you all do your bounden duty in this crisis, you'll spit the tobacco juice of termination in John Bull's eyes till he has the blind staggers, when vou can take him by the tail and swing him beyond all recollection Rouse ye, rouse ye to the rescue Let the shout penetrate every nook and cranny in North America-from the tiptop of the Arctic regions clear to the Straits of Gibraltar. Canada and the United States for ever begot in a war-whoop, born in blood, cradled in thunder, and brought up in glory DEATH OF FaUCCB GUSTAVUS OF SWEDHN.-rrinCe Gustavus, Duke of Upland, and second son of the King of Sweden, died at Christiania on the 24th ult. He landed there on 16th,ult. with their Majesties, and complained of indisposition. On the following day he was seized with violent fever, which ended fatally. The Swedish Ambassa- dor at Paris had issued invitations for a grand diplomatic dinner, but it has been necessarily put off in consequence of the death of the Prince. The suspension of Messrs. Walter Logan and Co. for £ 60,000. to £ 70,000. which was announced on change on Monday excites much regret, arising as it does from the proceedings of a partner at Limi, and it is hoped they will be enabled to make arrangements for a settlement, by having time afforded. EXTRAORDINARY OPFRATION.-A. poor man named Brice, a boatman, living on the London-road, Spalding, last week underwent one of the most fearful surgical opera- tions which it is possible to imagine. He had a large tumour on the lower part of his cheek, and his jaw bone was diseased. He was attended by Dr. Morris, who found that unles the deceased jaw could be removed, the man must die; he accordingly determined upon removing it; one of the front teeth had first to be extracted to admit the saw, and the cheek was cut through nearly to the ear, in order to get at the other end of the jaw, when by means of the saw it was taken out. The operation lasted 36 minutes, and we are glad to say the poor fellow is doing well —Lincoln Chronicle. DISTRESSING AGCIDEST AT LYTHAM.—EIGHT LIYES LoST.-Intelligence was received, at Preston on Saturday of a melancholy casualty wliichhiipned off Lytham .on the pre Won 1 afternoon, Mfd by which eitffirt seamen have lost their lives, each of whom has left a widow and children des- titute. The fatality arose from the capsizing of a life-boat belonging to Lytham, a favourite watering place, situated at the estuary of the river Ribble, some twelve or fourteen miles from Preston. In consequence of the numerous vessels which have from time to time been wrecked off Lytham, it I it was deemed expedient that a life-boat should be purchased. For that purpose a considerable sum was raised by subscrip- tion amongst the visitors and residents, and a few months ago a line boat was obtained trom tne esiaousnmeni 01 Messrs. Beechin and Son, of Great Yarmouth. The official account of the accident is to the following effect :—Yester- day afternoon the Lytham life boat was ordered out for practice. It was manned: by Captain William Swann and nine men. The wind was very heavy and squally, from W. and W. N. W. After being out a short time she was returning home, when she was upset by a sudden squall. .The painter fouled on a buoy, which prevented her from righting. Eight men, including the captain, were drowned. The two saved owed their preservation to adhering to the seats of the boat. The accident occurred in the south chan- nel, off the Horse Bank. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. WALLACE.—Mr. Wallace, well known as the late indefatigable member for Greenock, and the zealous advocate of cheap postage, having fallen on evil times in his old age, a committee was formed in Green- ock in 1850, with the laudable purpose of raising a fund to make permanent provision for the honourable gentleman's declining years. The (ommitte have succeeded in raising a fund which will secure an annuity at the rate of E500 per annum. The ceremony of presenting this handsome testimonial, in addition to a bust of Mr. Wallace, executed bv Mr. P. Ptrk, took place on Thursday evening last, in Blackhall-street Church, Greenock, in the presence of the Provost and the principal people of the town and surround- ing country. Mr. Wallace, on making his appearance, was loudly cheered. A report of the proceedings of the com- mittee was read by Mr. A. Dennistoun, the details being closed by jhe following paragraph Your committee have the satisfaction of reporting, that while they cannot state that their efforts have met with the success which they believed they deserved, they have secured to Mr. Wallace a testimonial worthy, at least, of his acceptance. The subscriptions under the charge of this committee, along with the contributions to the private fund already referred to, would together be represented by an annuity of L500 per annum and as the committee were desirous of providing some permanent and more public testimonial of the labours of Mr. Wallace, they engaged the service of that eminent sculptor, Mr. P. Park, of Edinburgh, who has produced the bust now on your table, which the com- mittee propose to present to Mr. Wallace this evening, and they recommend that the Town Council of Greenock, should be respectfully requested to procure a copy of the bust in marble, to be placed in the Town Hall, in comme- moration of the great public services of Mr. Wallace, the first representative of Greenock, during the four Parlia- ments of 13 years he represented the burgh." Mr. J. F. Macfarlan, Edinburgh, proposed the adoption of the report, which was seconded by Bailie Campbell, of Greenock, and unaninously agreed to. Mr. T. Hamlin, the convener of the committee, then presented the testimonial in a graceful address. Mr. Wallace acknowledge! the testimonial in a speech of great length, in which he gave an interesting review of his whole public life; after which the proceedings terminated. ¡ DEATH OF MR. THOMAS THOKBON.—We regret to have to announce the death of this gentleman, which took place I at Edinburgh on the 2d inst. Mr. Thomson was A very re- markable man. He, was a coadjutor of Jeffrey, Sydney Smith, and Lord Brougham in the establishment of the Edinburgh Review, and was a prominent member of the Liberal party at the Scotch bar. He had an incomparably better knowledge of the history and antiquities of Scotland tban any one of his contemporaries. He held for many year the office of deputy clerk registrar, and in that capacity rendered the most valuable services to the public by collect- ing the national records, and making them available. For these services he was very ill-rewarded And it is, perhaps, to be regretted that he did not employ the time spent in ar. ranging and elucidating the muniments and archives of Scot- land in writing its history. Fur the task he was admirably qualified, as well by his peculiar attainments as an antiquary as by his refined taste and the purity and ease of his style. But a certain constitutional indolence rendered him averse from grappling with any great or continuous labour and he contented himself with preparing those materials for others which he could have used better than any one else. For several years past Mr. Thompson officiated as one of the principal clerks of session. Instead, however, of having had I to write out the judgments of others, he should himself tiave been a judge. But that perfect knowledge of the law, and the possession of theother qualities that fit a man to adorn the bench, do not always raise him to that elevation. And superficial mediorcity, if assisted by a lucky combination of circumstances, has little difficulty in Edinburgh, as elsewhere in rising above the best sense and the most solid acquire ments, if destitute of such aid. Mr. Thomson was endeared to all who knew him in private life by the gentleness of his manners, the warmth of his affection, and the variety and extent of his information. Though he had attained to a very advanced age, his cheerfulness never forsook him an d he preserved to the last the full possession of his fa. culties. CHALLENGE FROM THE AMERICAN NAVIGATION CLUB TO THE SHIPBUILDERS OF GREAT BRITIAN —It will be remembered that early in the past month there was wafted across the broad Atlantic, from the American Navigation Club, a challenge to the shipbuilders of Great Britian, which created no little interest, and which, after the defeat, then but just accomplished, of the magic yacht America, by one of our little island craft, gave rise to no inconsiderable spe- culation as to what may be the result of an acceptance of brother Jonathan's proposal. The conditions of the contest were, that the ships should be modelled, commanded, and officered entirely by citizens of the United States and Great Britian respectively, and that they shouldsikil with cargo on board from a port in England to a port in China, and back to the English port; the prize for the winning vessel to be EIO,000, and to be paid without regard to accidents or to any exceptions. It was also a stipulation that the vessels were not to be under 800 tons, nor over 1,200 tons, Ameri- can registrar. The American Club empowered the Messrs. Baring Brothers, and Co., to enter into the specified condi- tions with our shipbuilders. The club also, by the last clause of their terms, held themselves at liberty to withdraw the challenge should it not be accepted within 30 days. The limit of time is now rapidly expiring, and it was with no little disappointment that the head of the eminent house of Baring and Co., was received in New York a short time since, when it was found that he had aothifeg like an acceptance of the challenge to communicate to the American Club but that on the contrary, he had to report, no inquiry as to the proliosition As a sort of enticement, however, to our Shipbuilders, the President of the American Navigation Club Mr. D. C. Bacon, is authorised; should the present challenge not be accepted within the 30 days," to allow the British vessel a start of 14 days before the departure of the Ameri- can craft, and also to allow us a crew picked from seamen experienced in voyaging between English and Chinese ports, while their own crew is to be composed of American seamen and officers whose experience is limited to sailing between American and English ports. The Americans, under the new conditions, are willing to augment the stake to E20,000, or to any higher sum than the LIO,000 of the present condi- tions most agreeable to us, but the last named amount to be the minimum. The Americans want a match, and it reflects somewhat upon our chivalry not to accommodate them. NEW ARTICLE OF EXPORTATION.—Crowds of girls and boys are rambling over the face of the country here, in quest of sloes, which they bring into the town in large quantities, for which they find a ready sale, at 5d. per stone, from a man who is styled the "Sloe Merchant." Already many tons weight have been shipped off, hut their destination remains a mystery. It would not be difficulty however, to judge for what purpose they are intended. It is well known that the sloe makes a capital port wine—as it gives the rough taste with a rich colour.-Galipay Packet. A ROMANTIC SUICIDE.—A man named Patrick Bartlett, recensly committed suicide in Pike County, Alabama, by hanging himself soon after his marriage. He had been in love with a voung lady, but was prevented, by some means, from marrying her, and wedded another. Soon after his marriage he carried his wife to see his parents, and there met the young lady, his former love, to whom he appeared to have been devotedly attached. Their feelings, upon meeting, overcame their sense of propriety, and they rushed into each other's arms, embraced, and were melted to tears. This seems to have revived, in a tenfold degree, his love for her and, after carrying his wife back to her parents, said he would go to Troy and post a letter which he had written, but it appears he had came to the determination on the way to destroy himself, which he did in the manner above described.-American Paper. TAKING IT LITERALLY.—A few days since an attorney at a country court deemed it necessary to shake the testimony of a Mr. Butterworth, by impugning his veracity. The witness being called, the lawyer commenced Do you kuow Mr. Butterworth ?" "Yes." "What is Butter- worth ?" Thirteen peuce a pound, although I have paid as high as- "That will do, sir. You can take your scut."
LORD PANilURE AT ARBROATH,
LORD PANilURE AT ARBROATH, On Thusday laat the Town Council of Arbroath conferred the freedom of the burgh on the Right Hon. Lord Panmure. The ceremony was performed in the Trades Hall, which was crowded, there being above 1,000 persons present. Provost Johnston having presented Lord Panmure with the burgess ticket, Lord Panmure returned thanks, and in the course of his speech said-While I have seen, and while you have seen, other countries shaken to their foundations by bloody revolutions, the liberties of the people entirely extinguished, and those of the press fettered and gagged, we have teen nothing of the kind in this great and happy country of our own. And why, gentlemen, is that so Simply because the people themselves have seen that, with their growing intelligence, their increasing capacity to govern themselves and take parts in the gouernment of their country, the rulers and advisers of the Sovereign have been anxious to advance in progress, and confer privileges and advantages wherever they could be possibly and safely administered. Whether I speak to those who are Conservatives in politics or those who are for more rapid progress in all that concerns our political career, I may decidedly say that it would be for the benefit of all that the policy of this country should continue to be one of progress. (Loud cheers.) It is in vain in this day to think of standing still. It is in vain still more in vain, to think of going back on the road along which we have come. As well might we propose to lower all those long chimneys by which I am surrounded, and turn out alle busy bees of industry that swarm beneath them, and return to the old system of the hand loom, as seek to retrogade in the course of policy we are now pursuing. As well might we think of putting down the railways and again setting up the old mail coach, or of superseding the power of the paddle and trusting to that of the old flagging sail. Such a change would not now be tolerated and the question, is, are we to stand still or go on. Now, my notion* as one deeply interested iu the possession and protection of property in this country, is, that if I attempt to stand still, I raise up behind the dam which I erect a flood of water that will soon sweep me and my property before it (applause ). But if I give free and constitutional scope to the stream to flow on in the manner in which it may be well and usefully directed, then I am sure that all I have at stake is safe, and I rest myself on this conviction and this opinion, that the more the people gain by constitutional and all free and li- beral reforms, the less likely am I to lose anything of the stake in the country which it has pleased Providence to give me (cheers.) Gentlemen, 1 may congratulate you in this great town upon the good effects which another system of policy has had among you-I mean the liberal commercial policy which has been directed, first of all, to cheapen the food of the people, and next, to enable the working classes to obtain that in the cheapest market which they were for. merly compelled to seek in the dearest. I am quite con- vinced that that policy has led to a vast increase of comfort, and to a vast extension of contentment in this our native country. I believe that it has made many a cottage fireside, where penury and want used formerly to pinch, to smile,not only with plenty, bu', in some instances, with the luxuries of life. I believe that it has made many of the population more contented than they formerly were; and of this I am perfectly certain, that it has given a triumph to justice and to right throughout the country, which we never had so long as we were compelled to repair to the dearest markets for the purchase of articles of food (hear, hear, hear.) In many respects this commercial policy has to be carried out to its just and fair issue. And I am quit sure of this that whoever may hold the reins of govern ment-whether her Majesty's present Ministers, or those from whom this policy first sprang-no government in this country can either retreat on the steps that have been taken, or fail to follow out that system commonly called free trade (applause). I am ready to admit that in the great change which the policy of 1846 brought about there could not fail to be some who would suffer in the transition that took pl"e Iand I have no hesitation in bearing full testimony, and giving full credit, to the manner in which many of the tenant-farmers in the country bore the change which took place in thtir circumstances bv the removal of import duties which the country would no longer tolerate. But whether it be to the increased energy of that class—and I trust that it may be so—or whether it be to better devised means for the culture of the soil, this I know, that to all external ap- pearance, at least, agriculture is as much sought after by the people of this country as a means of earning their bread as ever, for at present there is no land in the market j (cheers). There has been no land vacant throughout Scot- land where the general remark has not been made, that if it were taken, higher prices would be given than have been received for the last four or five years. I trust I may argue, and argue without unfairness, that the season of difficulties for the farmer is passing away, and that he sees the way for the employment of bis capital and receiving ample remunera- tion for it; and of this we may be assured, that all who are interested in land feel that one common bond of union must Iunite this whole country. Agriculture must depend 00 commerce, and commerce and manufactures must, to a ¡ great extent, depend on oar agricwture; and I trust the whole tiM-?e will eordt?Hy go hand in hand. The farmers, merchants, and manufacturers will consider this—that their interests are bound up in one, and that what is injurious to the one cannot fail to be injurious to the other also (cheers).
IDREADFUL SHIPWRECK.—LOSS…
I DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.—LOSS OF SEVENTY LIVES. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. We have received intelligence this evening of the total loss of the American ship Mobile, Captain Tarbox, which sailed from this port on Monday last for New Orleans. The particulars of this melancholy occurrence, so far as we have been able to learn, are as follows:- The Mobile sailed from the Mersey, as above stated, on Monday last, with upwards of 40 passengers, and a crew numbering about 30 men, and proceeded safely until half- past two o'clock on Wednesday morning, at which time she struck on Blackwater Bank, and shortly afterwards began to I break up. At the time she struck the wind was blowing a perfect hurricane from E.N.E., with a very heavy sea running, the only sails she carried at the time being the fore and main- topsails, olose reefed. Shortly after she struck, efforts were made to launch the boats, but, in consequence of the heavy sea running at the time, they were fruitless. The scene on board the ill-fated ship a few minutes after striking baffies all description. The poor passengers were running about in all directions, crying out piteously for help, but alas, there was none at haud, and at every succeeding sea one or more of their number were washed off the wreck, until, in a very short time, all had disappeared, with the exception of eight seamen and one passenger, who had fortunately lashed themselves to the channels. A few hours after the vessel had struck the weather had moderated considerably, and about 11 o'clock on Thursday morning two schooners hove in sight, and immediately bore down to the wreck. One of the schooners, which was bound to Glasgow, took four of the sailors and the passenger on board, &ad the other took the remaining four off, and landed them at Wexford. When rescued they were in a very exhausted state from cold and exposure. They were for- warded to this port in the Wexford steamer, and arrived this evening, destitute of everything but what they stood in. Captain Tarboz, the commander of the ill-fated ship, toge- ther with all his officers, perished. There is no doubt the ship went to pieces on Friday, as great quantities of wreck, crates, several water-casks, and portions of a vessel were passed on Friday night and Saturday. The Mobile was a fine ship of upwards of 1,000 tons bar- den and nearly new.

MORE PLAIN THAN POLITia.-Daring the seige of Bur- gos, one of the Irish regiments, which was supposed not to have behaved with its accustomed daring, greatly to the displeasure of Wellington, asked for the privilege of leading the assault next day, so as to wipe out the anger of their commander, which they felt to be undeserved. The request was complied with, and the Hibernians, stormed the walls with unparalleled fury, but were nearly all cut to pieces. Riding over the ground soon after, the Duke (then Sir Arthur) came to a heap of slain and wounded, where the enemy's guns had done moat execution. Arrah, may be yer satisfied now, you hooky nosed vagabond!" exclaimed one of the cut up bog trotters, who had both his legs shot off, and thinking that as he was stumped up for the future, it didn't much matter on what footing he stood for the present. However, he was mistaken; the General smiled, sent a surgeon; and the man lived to record the event in Chelsea Hospital till within a few years ago. -Liverpool Albion. THE MOKSTBR BLAST AT FURMBSS.—Tbe monster blast of gunpowder at Furness Granite Quarry took place on Wednesday afternoon, with complete success. The charge consisted of no less than three tons of gunpowder, and was deposited in two chambers—one and a half tons in each. The shaft was 60 feet in depth, and the chambers in which the powder was placed were 17 feet long. The charge was ignited by a galvanic battery, and lifted an immense mass of rock, computed to have been between 7,000 and 8,000 tons. The flame belched out on the sea- ward side, and was well seen by a large concourse of spectators from Inverary, the watering places on the Clyde, and a portion of excursionists from Glasgow, on board the Mary Jane. The report was not loud, but deep and hoarse, and the ground in a very wide circle was strongly agitated -C-lasgor ConstitutictieL Proposals were issued on Monday fur a Four per Cent. Swedish Mortgage Loan of L450,000, at 93.. It is to be raised for provincial improvements, and is secured, under the authority of the Swedish Diet and a Royal charter, by the estates of the district in which the outlay is made, such estates being valued for the purpose at two thirds the amount of their rating for public taxation. The Swedish Govern- ment have no doubt whatever, and the present loan is anala- gous to a county loan in this country. Stock of a similar description has from time to time been negotiated in Ham- burgh, where it is popular, and a year ago it was proposed to raise £300,000 in London at the same price as that now fixed. The bonds in that case, however, were rendered intelligible by being in marks banco instead of in sterling, the coupons also being payable at Hamburgh so that it is presumed a very small portion, if any, were taken here, aad that they were subsequently subscribed in Germany as usual. In the present instance the dividends will be payable at Messrs. Palmer, Mackillop, and Co.'s The extinction of the bonds is to take place at par by drawings to the exteui of I per cent, per annum. A payment of 13 per cent. is to be made on the issuing of tbe kerin. and the last instalment will be on the let of SopbnbK, 1815.
