Bnonxeuu . Ship Inn .-At our usualI week ly meetineon Sunday evening last , Muriu m the chair , after readinc the Rotioe from the Star » b to tb- opening a new Land Company , the following rei ( Zn w « agreed to . Moved by Mr FusseU , se . conned by Mr Garland :- ' That we , tbemembersof the Land Company , meeting at the Ship Inn , Birmingham , very much regret the course pursued by the directors in opening a second Company , which we conceive to be in direct Tiolation of the decision of the late Conference , and we are sorry to say it is
calculated to-destroy that good feeling and _ confidence between the members and directors which we consider SO requisite fur the success of our Company , We are of opinion that the directors have no power to commence a new company without the sanction of the . members in special meeting assembled , or authorised bv the votes of their delegates , appointed to the next Conference . We feel fully assured that if the decision of the Conference had been abided by , the members would have given greater support to thebmk . and thereby enabled the directors to locate
the members moretaaidly . ' Bonr —The members of the No . 1 branch of the Lnnd Comoanv have established a money club in connexion with the Land and Lab -ur Bank . Shares £ 1 . each to be paid at the rate of threepence , sixpence , and one shilline per week . William Kenyon , treasurer Martin Ireland , secretary Place of meeting , Mr Wm . Hudson ' s , Eirl-streefc , from fire until eight O ' clock every Sunday evening . Carlisle . —A meetine of the members of the Land Companv took place on Saturday 1-st , at No . 8 . John-Ptreet , C ' aldeweate . Mr Thomas Roney in the chair When the following resolutions were passed— _ I hat the members of this district form themselves into a
co-operative society , to procure and retail out proyision . clothin ? , < fcc , the profits arising therefrom to be devoted to the carrying out the objects of the Land dmpan r . ' « That we commence on next Sunday to deposit 61 . per week per member , to form a capital with which to commence operations . ' * That notice be sent to the Star , that ano'her meeting will take place , on Wednesday , January 26 . at eight in the evening , for the purpose of taking down the names of other shareholders in the Land Company desirous of becoming members , and to discuss the rule 5 necessary to form , the society . ' Cnnncn , kbar Blackbues —At a meeting of the Lane--nd sick society , held at Mr Thos . Greenwoods , Stag-Inn , it was resolved—* That weeive notice to tho Accrington Savings' Bank , to withdraw £ 100 ., to b .-b -nfc to the Land and Labour Bank . '
.... Du . vdek —At the quarterly meeting of this branch , Mr Wm Peirrie in the chair , the balance sheet was adopted bv the meeting . On the motion of Mr Jshn JM'Crae the following resolution was adopted : — That we decline petitioning Parliament for the takuv ' Ofthe Land Companv under its protection at present . The followins office-bearers were elected : —ThomasWhitton . treasurer ; William Reid , scrutineer ; William Davidson and John MCrae , auditors . Five members of committee were also elected " . _ . _
East Retford —The members of the Land Company recentlv had a tea party , which was numerously attended , and well-conducted . A resolution in favour of the Land Company having been proposed , Mr Leach , of Manchester . who hadbeen invited , rese , an * delivered a most excellent lecture , elucidatory of the principle asserted in the reso ' ution . Mr Dixon , one of the directors arrived in the evening , and delivered an admirable speech in response to a resolution of confidence to Mr O'Connor . The next evening Mr Dixon lectured on the ' Land Plan . ' His discourse excited great enthusiasm . The-e meetings have been productive of great good . Glasgow . —At the meeting of the Glasgow branch , Jlr John tiavan was called to the chair . The petition to parliament was introduced by Mr A . Harley , who concluded by moving the following resolution , seconded bv Thomas Reid — ' That we have
immeasurably more confidence in the honesty , integrity , and honour of Feargus O'Cennor than in any national government on the face of the earth . We , therefore , are decidedly opposed to petition parliament to appoint trustees to take charge of any monies or other property belonging to the National Land Company , and declare that we will never concent to place any such power into the hands of any government not responsible to the whole people . The resolution was spoken to bv many of the member , and carried unanimously . Mr Sherrington then read fr > m the Star the notice from the directors of the opening of a new company , and stated that he was a member of the late Uon erence , and one who did all he could to have the Company closed even before the 31 st of December . He was perfectly amaz : d on Saturday last when he read in the Star the intention of the directors to open a new company , they havinz received decided instruction at the
Conference to close on the 31 st of December . He stated that , no doubt , they had carried out that resolution , but , at the same time , they were taking decided steps to set at defiance the r solutions of their employers , which ou . ht to be met by the members in the epirit thstit deserved . Mr A- Barley said , being a member of the Company , he wa = opposed to the directors setting aside the instruction received at the last Conference , and concluded by moving the follow ' log resolution : — ' That in the opinion of this brsnch the resolution of the directors to establish another j > and Company is virtually a violation of the decision of the late Con f erence , held at Lowbands , and an evident attempt to act in the defiance of , and responsibility to , the present members of the Land Company . We , therefore , call upon the directors to withdraw their re .-o ! u ' . ion immediately , _ or call a spec ial Coherence for the purpose of receiving their ifshrnation and appointing others in their place . The resolution was carried unanimously .
Hcll . —At the weekly meeting of this branch on Wtda : sdiyevenin » , January 12 th , Mr Fisher in the chair , aftera spirited ( discussion on the petition to government , as issued by Mr O'Connor in reference to th- ? i and Plan , it was carried by a large majority , * That in the opinion of this meeting the members of the Natiinal Land Company ( and not the government ) ought to have the appointment of trustees , pay eierks , and all other officers . ' Meetings are held every Monday and Wednesday evenings , at the Ship Inn . Church-lane , at half-past seven o ' clock .
Hammersmith , —Is consequence of the return of the honourable member for Nottingham having been petitioned against , a special meeting of the Hammersmith district of the National Land Company , was liel-i at the district office , 2 , Little Vale Place , Ilaniist'Kmith-road , on Sunday evening , January 2 G : h . Mr James Millwood in the chair . On the motion of Messr = E . Stallwood and Oliver , the follow , ing r < solutions were unanimously adopted : — 'That thh meeting is of opinion , that it is of the first importance that our director ( Mr O'Connor ) should ciwinue to hold a seat in parliament , and that funds should he rai-ed to defeat the attempt made to unseat hia * . This meeting is further of opinion that
were each member o the National Land Company to s-u ' scribe thr ^ ecence immediately , and place it in the hands of the local secretary for transmission to the C 33 tral Office , 144 , High Holborn , the necessary sum would ba raised - . this meeting , therefore , pledges itself to subscribe a sum of not less than three pence per member , and trusts that every member of the L-nd Company will do likewise . That a book be feept open fur the receipt of subscriptions from members and friends at the district office ( Mr Stall wood's ) , 2 , Little Vak-vdace , a sufficient time to admit of all subscribing .

' Hull . —At a meeting of this branch it was resolved : — ' That £ 15 . of the Local Expense Fund be eent to the National Land and Labour Bank . ' Keighlet . —A public meeting for the adoption of the Land Plan , washeld in the WorkinE Man ' sHall . on Monday evening last , Mr James Reeday in the ehsir . Sir Joseph Frith , moved the adoption of the petition , and said , tbat on reverting to tbe history of the country , he found , that at tbe time of Julius Csesar , the inhabitants were considered barbarian 0 ,
since which time we have gone on improving Land and building houses , till we now consider ourselvrs the most civilised people on earth . I cannot but ask , how it happens , after the lapse of so many hundreds of years , tbat we are here without either houses , land , or anything bnt tae air we breathe , have either re id , or hea / d , that in ancient times , which are now term ? d the barbarous ages , our ancestors met annually under the canopy of heaven , and passed laws for the whole population . Since that time we have had the wars of York and Lancaster , and many other wars , till we have lost the whole oi our rights to the soil , and everything eke , under tings an-l " prie 8 ts . I have frequently remarked , tbat when ' the woolcombers eonid earn about twenty-five ghill n js per week , all went on right , and we only heard of political wrongs when they were earning eiaht or tem shillings . I know tbat many are in the habit of blaming manufacturers , shopkeepers ,
and others , but that convinces me that our present c . jzi'iition is owing to ourselves . If the working class could only see how the want of the vote unmans them , they would never rest satisfied , good times < . r bad , till they got it . The Land is the sou'ce of all living , and without that , and the vole to protect it , we only live and breathe through suffersnej . We have at present soch a Land Company as tt . e world never before saw ; but are they Land members all up to the mark ? I am afraid tbat many cf them have become meuibjrs through private mo ' lives , and not through a wish to work out the salvation of their class . The present Parliament is the poorest we ever saw , and corresponds perfectly we 1 with our present state of employment , which » only ofthe cuckoo character , and the manufac v * littlei work now-and then when it suits their purpose . Ia times like the prewnt , , 0 B will alwaye

m % fiff 1 grirmnVwVTrW ^ WKmmlW & TmWrrT r ? ia ¥ ^^ rr- —_ hear the persons who do not work Baying , we won " der what is to become of the labouring class . This question always sounds very curious in my ears , and I think it would be much more natural to hear the labouring class wandering what would become of those who did not labour . Many of the manufacturers cry ont against the Land Plan while they are paying us at the rate of seven and eightshillinga per week , but I am confident that a change totheLand would be a great benefitif it only advanced onr wages from eight to twelve sailhngs per week . If the working class would only unite themselves and their pence they would carry the Land and the Charter or anything else , and as long as thhave this ower and will not help themselves ,
ey p how can ther expect others to help them ?—Mr W . Emmett , who seconded the adoption of the petition , said : We are met to advocate the plan of a man who has always stood by the labeuring class , and if we weie only half as true to ourselves as that man Is to ns , we should very soon carry both Land and Charter . lam quite sure that if ever anything , ia done by parliament for tbe labouring elass , it will be done on account of the numbers demanding , and' his is an excellent opportunity of showing our numbers . We have manufactured till we are nearly all beggars ranging through the streets , not' Britons shall never be slaves , ' while many of those in employment are earning only ei ^ ht shillings per week . I won'd recommend all to sign the petition and endeavour to
get upon the Land , for unless we adopt a plan of this kind , those who are now earning twenty-five shillings per week , will not be doing so next January . The manufacturers are associating together to do away with the ten hours clause , but if the operatives can be so degraded as to sign their petition , they will deserve to work not only eleven but twenty-four hours per day for nothing . Do not willingly slave for eight shillings per week , but let every comber enter the Land Company , and depend upon sunshine and showers , rather than upon manufacturing , for a living . —Mr John Town supported the petition in an able and argumentative speech . He said that if parliament would act as fairly with this petition as they had done with many of those belonging to other Joint Stock Companies , they would not have much to fear . They granted one million to the
Irish Clergy who could not collect their tithes . If they did thin , they surely could not refuse tho labouring class the benefit of getting their materials free . They also granted twenty millions to emancipate the black slaves , and if they refuse us this smaJJ boon , I must say that their talk about representing the labouring class of England is all humbug . Mr O'Connor has had to contead with hired scribblers who have attacked him through the Land Plan ; the people , however , have full confidence in bim , and as a further proof of his honesty , he now proffers to hand over the funds to government , only requiring the power of direction to see tbat it is honestly carried oat , I am aware that three acres of land will net maintain a man running a horse and gig '; it will require a good many acres to do that , but I believe that three acres will maintain a man and his
family able and williug to work ; and if it will not do so , they can then return to their employers and take what tbey please to give them . The petition was then unanimously passed , and persons appointed to see it signed by the inhabitants . Lakcasseb . —This branch now numbers between sixty and seventy members , who have subscribed upward of £ 100 , tothetundsof the company , At a full meeting of the members held on the 16 th inst the following resolutions were adopted withon ' y two dissentients : — ' That it is the opinion of this meeting , the establishment of a new company at present
would tend to destroy the confidence of the members generally , and ought , therefore , to be postponed until three-fourths of the present members are located . ' ' That , in the opinion of this meeting , the directors will have sufficient employment in looking after the business and interests of the present Company , and that another company ought to be managed by other directors . ' 'That a copy of these resolutions be sent to tbe Northern Stab , and another copy tethe directors . ' At theabove meeting two-thirds of the members declared that they would cease to be members , if a new company was started by the directors of the present Company . John Habbisom , Sec .
Leicester—The shareholders' meeting at the Land Pavilion , Plough Inn , have passed a resolution of confidence in the directors , aad pledged themselves to defend Mr O'Connor ' s seat in Parliament . Mouhtais , near Halifax . —At the weekly meeting of this branch , held at the house of Abraham Butterfield , on Monday evening last , the fallowing resolution was unanimously agreed to : —* That we have 2 eard with pain and indignation of tke unprincipled and disgraceful persecution which baa
been commenced against our honoured champion , F . O'Connor , E-q . M . P . ; and having fu'l confidence in his honesty and integrity , we believe that these perse cutionsare commenced with a view to crush him , and through bim the cause of liberty . And we hereby pledge ourselves to render hira all the pecuniary support in our power ; and that in aid of this object a vigorous subscription be commenced forthwith , And we earnestly request every Chartist and member of the Land Company , to do the same , and disappoint the tools of faction . '
Newcastle-dpok-Ttse , —The adjourned discussion on the petition of the members of the Land Company , as proposed by Mr O'Connor in the Stab of December 25 tb , was resumed last Sunday evening , when the following resolution , as passed by our brother members of Warwick , was carried by an overwhelming majority : — ' That we regard the sngges tion of Mr O'Connor , to hand over the Land Company to the tender mercies of an irresponsible government , as a matter fraught with many serious objections ; and that so long as the majority of this company being non-e ' ectors , are without the pale of the British constitution , and defrauded of the rights of citizenship—and so long as the nation is cursed with the present system of class legislation , we
utterly object to any governmental interference with the property of this company—and while we gratefully applaud Mr O'Connor ' s disinterestedness , and implicitly rely on his honour , integiity , and patriotism , we respectfully suggest that a full conference of delegates from every branch of the company should beheld in London , to consider well this subject , and to weigh the matter gravely , before we petition the present government to incorporate our Land Company under the baneful influence of their despotic system of centralisation , aa wc should deeply deplore the day that ever saw the Land Company fastened to tbe lead in tr strings of an irresponsible crown minister , and our labour fields converted into a second edition of our hateful pauper unions . '
Macclesfield . —At the quarterly meetingof this branch the following persons were elected to serve on committee : —John Asbton , James Allen , John Allen , Edward Alton , Samuel Bunting , Samuel Robins Brown , John Burgess ; David Mild , scrutineer ; Benjamin Chandler , president ; Thomas Wadsworth , vice-president ; John Hill , Land Fund treasurer ; Nathan D .

' New Radford . —The petition to Parliament in favour of the Land Plan has been adopted by this branch ; and a subscription has been opened to enable Mr O'Connor to defend his seat .
Oxford . —A tea party and ball was held here on Monday evening , to celebrate the success of one of thrir members , ( Mr Carlisle ) in the late ballot . The party was numerously and respectably attended , and the arrangements euchasgave general satisfaction . When the tables were removed , Mr Bridgewater was unanimously called to the chair , and introduced Mr Doyle to the meeting to speak to the following sentiment : — 'The NationaVLand Company , may the whole of its members be speedily located , and enjoy the comforts and blessings which it is calculated to bestow . ' Mr Doyle , in responding , explained the rise and progress of the company : In little more than two years , they had raised the sum of £ 100 , 000 ; had purchased estates consisting of 2 , 000 acres , and had at the present time f ; the sum of £ 33 , 000 in Exchequer Bills bearing- interest at six
and a half per cent . ; was that not better than investing their money in the government savines bank Mr D . expatiate ! at great length on the advantages of the Land Plan , and concluded amid much applause . The chairman then called on T . M , Wheeler to respond to ' the National Charter Association , and may the people speedily attain those rights which from the very fact of their birth , they are entitled to . ' The speaker traced the baneful effects of bad government-rahoved the justice of the Charter , and sat down much applauded . Mri G . Wheeler responded to the sentiment ef— ' The ladies , and may they enjoy every blessing and prosperity which a free government is calculated to bestow on them . ' A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman . —The chairman having replied , the merry dance commenced , and was kept up with great spirit until morning ' s dawn .
Pehth . —At the quarterly meeting of this branch , the following office-bearers were elected : —John Scotland , chairman ; Wm Graham ! treasurer ; John Cree , secretary ; J . Alesser , scrutineer .

To the Dibectors op ihb National Land Comp aht . —Gentlemen , —We , the members of the Manchester branch of the National Land Company , have read with astonishment and surprise , in last Saturday ' s Star , your intention to commenco another Land Company , believing , as wo do , that the present company requires all your energy and attention to carry out its purposes .

10 THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BBITAIH , FaiEMDS iKD Bbetukeh , Our not having a hall in London , in which to advocate the principles of Chartism and Political Equality , has been long a source ol deep rogret , and constant annoyance to us .

In answer to the parties writing from Deedhurst , Bram , and Winchester , I have to any the sums they mention were received , but aa they were sent by individuals , they are put down in the mi 808 lmneoW 8 amount in tie balance sheet , but were properly acknowledged in the Stab at the time . To Place each person ' s name in the Stab balance sheet would fill one side , as the items sent by individaals vary from 2 d . to 10 s , There havealso been many sums acknowledged . m the Stab , by parties they have been cent to , with no name at all , but merely for the Election Committee , and it has cost ten times the labour to trace the sums , than it would have done in postage , if sent direct to the proper parties ; a nd some of auch sums have never yet been traced . The committee have , therefore resolved : — 'That , for the future , they
will not take any notice , or give any answers about any names that may be sent otherwise than through their secretary , and made payable to him at the Lambeth post-office , if above ten shillings—if under , they may bo sent in po & tage-atamps . ' If our country friends were aware of the trouble and annoyance they cause by sending monies to so many parties , and how often their communications are lost through being mixed up with other matters , they would see at once that the saving of the postage would be but a trifle . —James Grassbv , secretary , 8 , Noah ' s Arkcourt , Stangate , Lambeth .

Havuab.K.Bt Theatrb.—Thb Wipe's Sbcrrt.—...
HAVUAB . K . BT Theatrb . —Thb Wipe ' s Sbcrrt . —It is not often we have the pleasing task of recording each & triumph of histrionic and dramatic art as it was oar good fortune to witness at the above theatre on Monday night last . Of the author ' s skill in constructing his play , we need say nothing more than that , although the plot was simple in the extreme , aod . indeed , transparent before the end of the first act , Mr Lovell has succeeded inmaintaining athrilling and unflagging interest to the very close . An old , but faithless steward of Sir Walter Amyott , —an officer of high trust under Gromweli ' a government—being detected in hia malpractices by Lady Amyott during her husband ' s absence , and fearing detection , determines on blasting tbe character of the wife in her
huaband ' a eyes . Scarcely has Sir Walter Amyott returned home , before he commences his machinations . Meanwhile Lord Arden , Lady Amyott ' s brother , and a fugitive Royalist , flying from his pursuers , secretly enters Sir Walter ' s house , and throws himself on his sister ' s protection—from whom he extracts a solemn oath of secresy , since be believes Sir Walter can never forgive tbe personal insults he baa received at the hands of his enemy . Lady Amyott conceals her brother in the very room in which she keeps the fraudulent accounts of the faithless steward—and , on her husband's return , has , at her maid ' s impromptu suggestion to Sir Walter , the room blocked up and abandoned , on the plea of reminding her of her past hours of solitude . The endeavours of
the steward to enter the room for the purpose of recovering his papers—his discoveries there—the refusal of the wile to surrender the key—Sir Walter Amyott ' s confidence and love battling with the seeming proofs of guilt—the night in which he obtains apparent certainty of his wife ' s guilt—the attempted search of the house by a Parliamentary officer—and tbe unconsciousness all the while of being suspected , on the part of Lady Amyott , with the crushing explanation at last , and the subsequent denouement , afford materials for some of the most effective scenes that have emanated from the pen of & modern dramatist . Notwithstanding it merits , however , we are bound to confess that the play owes its chief success to tbe admirable performance of Mr and Mrs Charles
Kean , whose return to the metropolis was hailed by the enthnaiastic cheers of a crowded house . Mrs Kean we hold to be the moat natural , and , therefore , the most effective actress we possess . She never strains after an effect , and therefore always achieves it , and in her performance on Monday night , as Lady Amyott , we saw exemplified the perfection of feminine delicacy and womanly dignity . Mr Charles Kean , aa Sir Walter Amyott , has , we think , fairly established his position as the first tragedian of the day . In the brief notice which the crowded state of onr columns necessarily compels , we cannot do justice to the many excellencies of his performance . We seldom heard anything finer than tbe genuine feeling of loving conviction that characterised his reply to the following words of his wife : —
I never had a thought or wish Wonld blush before thine eye—were it Hot so , I could not look thus fearless in thy face , And meet thy confidence . Sib Waltee : I know it , dear one . Or the calm confidence resting in the tone with which he addresses hia wife , when called to confront the charge os her accuser : —
What hast thou done to make this man thy foe ! Nor can we pass by another passage , addressed to the steward ( Jabez Sneed ) , when his heart is straggling despairingly against the almost certainty of his wife ' s guilt : — "Tis some hellish plot By demons gendered—thou ( to Jabez ) none likelier She said thou wast a knave . Say thou hast done this—Confess it—and thy knavery shall be Above all virtue ! Dost thou crave fer gold ? Take it—take all I have—I crave it
not—Take all my wealth—my house—my honoars—land . Strip bare ray body—take my health—my strength—My blood—my life—but spare me Eveline , We sincerely congratulate the manager of the Haymarket on having produced so excel ' ent a play , and secured Mr and Mra Kean , for what , however , we regret to learn , is but a limited engagement . We have seen too little of them hitherto in the metropolis . We should bo unjust were we in this notice to pass by the admirable acting of MraEepbiy as the waiting maid , and of Mr Webster as theajBgwgrd . At the close of the play , Mr and Mrs Keanlwe ^ ro loudly called for , and appeared amid a storm of applause , and a shower of ' wreaths . ' Mrs Keeloy , as also the author , were compelled to bow their thanks . ' The play was announced for repetition every night of Mr and Mrs Kean ' s engagement . This is one of the few instances of a great , a legitimate , and a deserved success—and will , we hope , commence a new era in our dramatic annals .
Asilw's Amphithbatrb.—That Gorgeous Mili...
Asilw ' s Amphithbatrb . —That gorgeous military spectacle ' The Camp of Silesia , ' still continues to draw crowded houses . The plot , if so it may be called , is very slender , and consists of the war between the Prussians under Frederick the Great , and the Hungarians . ' Leopold , ' ( Mr Silver , ) a Prussian soldier , and son of' Salburn , ' ( Mr Johnson , ) a retired general , is for a breach of military discipline , ( on the opening of the piece , ) to be shot on the following day . btttFKederick , expecting a battle , gives orders for his release , that he might wipe out the stain by aglorious death ; nevertheless , if he survive the contest , his sentence is to be executed on the morrow . 'Conrad' ( MrBarry , ) a silly flutist , joins the Prussian army . The armies meet and a
desperate oattte ensues , la which the King is separated from his troops by the enemy , and meets Conrad ' and his lover'Theresa , ' ( Miss Lydia Pearce , ) who are puzzled to give an account of themselves , * Frderick' in turn is questioned , and is equally embarrassed ; ho howerer preserves bis incognito , and is conducted by the lovers to the Castle of Salburn . The castle is besieged by the Hungarians , and Frederick , who has made himself known by the advice of « Ayesha , ' ( Mra Moreton Brooks , ) changes his dress with' Conrad , ' and is by her led out of the castle , when the King successfully plays the flutist , and effects his escape . ' Conrad" makes his appearance in the King ' s dress , and is detained a prisoner
by the Hungarians . ' Frederick' in the meantime has joined his army , and having arranged his plans for attacking the enemy , by a strange generosity seldom to be met with in kings , again assumes the garb of the flutist , and throws himself into the hands of the enemy , in order to liberate , the simpleton ' Conrad . ' Both try their skill on the flute , and are detained prisoners to amuse the leisure hours of their captors . _ ' Leopold , ' who has discovered the retreat of the King , trie 3 to effect * Frederick ' s' escape by stratagem , but fails . The Prussian army , however , arrives , and alter a desperate contest is victorious Such is the plot of the ' Camp of Silesia , ' which by the immense auxiliaries and resources of this theatre
together with splendid , yet chaste costume , is a most brilliant spectacle . Nothing on the stage can surpass tbe review of the Prussian array ; each evolution was performed with the nicest precision , and the performers appeared to vie with each other in doing justice to the parts assigned them . The acting of Mr Barry is rich , and devoid of the low buffoonery of clowns in general . Miss Pearce also played her port admirably . —The Pantomime , * Dr Syntax and his Dapper Grey Mare , ' is chiefly founded on ffie school-boy tale of 'Tommy and Harry , ' pupils of the Doctor . The opening scene , the Cavern of Horse Shoes , introduces us ^ to the evil genius ol tbe'Doctor ; ' the grey mare is shod , and a magic nail driven which paralyses her powers of locomotion . Then follows a splendid scene of the Good Genius , and the arrival ef the Queen of Industry in her special train , who resolves to baffle" the power of the Evil One . The school room brings forward the brothers , | 'Tommy and Harry ; ' the one in love with his book

The Chsuical IIistobt op D : sinfbctios , a ™ THKIR BKLiTZW 10 SjiMTORV Me . < 6 UflES . _ For Sflmn time past Dr Bachboffner has been actively eneawS in delivering , at the Polytechnic Institution a course of lectures on ventilation , respiration & e in connexion with sanatory measures . During ' the past week the subject was taken up by Dr Tnhn Ryan , who makes his lecture a sequence to D , Bachhoffner's , and enters at length into the chemical character of vitiated air , the nature of infection and the history of remedial agents . The Doctor i » opening bis lecture spoke as follows :- ' One of ' thi great objects of an institution like the Polytechnic
is , to bring Detore tne world , by means of apt Mug . trations , the various discoveries and applications of scientific research . Whenever it is practicable we certainly endeavour to clothe onr instructions in tbe most pleasing , and even amusing guise ; and where we can legitimately do so , we choose those subjects which admit of the most striking and brilliant experiments . On the present occasion , however I am called on by a sense of public duty to lecture ' on a topic of such paramount importance that , althoug h it may afford us but few illustrative experiments , and those not of a showy character , yet I am sure you will consider it woithy of your undivided attention . ' It would far exceed onr limits to follow the learned gentleman through his admirable and highly important lecture , and from this cause we must
close our nnet netice , by relating a melancholy cir cumitance mentioned by the Doctor in the course of his discourse , relative to one of these' disinfectants ' as they are erroneously called , and nitrite of lead M . Ledoyen , liquid 1 . Col . Calvert , who was associated with M .

Mr Allen was a seaman , and was pressed in 1801—was present in the Temeraive , 98 , at the Battle of Trafalgar , at the capture of the Marenuo , and Belle Peulo , at the stupid expedition to Walcheren ,
where—* Our flower was in Flushing When blighting was nearest , ' us Walter Seott has it . Though a pressed man he never had a nuirk set against his name ; and the writer of this notice , desirous of rendering- liim a service unknown ro himself , wrote to Admiral Sir E . Codrington about him , and requested . his interest to get a liitle help for Allen , as nn old companion in arms . To make tho prayer mom effective , the anniversary of thfi battle in which both had fought was selected to urge tho request—viz ,, 20 th of October , 1805 . But the gallant and luck y Admiral paid no attention to the matter . Allan was one of the broken 'tools which tyrants cast away , ' an instrument that could be of no further service to him in mounting tbe ladder of ambition , hence his neglect . When such is the reward vf rare merit , yourjsenthnent , MrjEditor , will . be echoedfrom one end of the country to the other , 'No Vote no Musket . '
