Ho [OLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.-Sores, wounds, alcerations, and other diseases affecting the skin, are amendable by this cooling and healing unguent. It has called forth the loudest praise from persons who have suffered for years from bad legs, abscesses, and chronic ulcers, after every hope of cure has long passed Sy None but those who have experienced the soothing effect of this Ointment can form an idea of the comfort it bestows, by restraining inflammation and allaying pain. Whenever this Ointment has been once used, it has established its own worth, and has again been eagerly sought for, as and for ulcerous Complaints. In neuralgia, rheumatism, and gout the same application, properly used, gives wonderful relief. 7TH S. No. 134, Collectors, was resolved "That it is desirable to celebrate the completion of two centuries from the birth of ALEXANDER POPE, one of the most illustrious names in English Literature, by a Commemorative Festival at Twickenham, a place intimately connected with his fame, where he lived for six and twenty years, and where he died." It was decided that the Commemoration take the shape of a temporary Loan Museum of Editions of the Works, Autographs, Portraits, and Relics of Pope, his friends and contemporaries, as well as Engravings of Old Twickenham; the foundation of a permanent Popean Collection in the Twickenham Free Public Library; and a Water Pageant. A Catalogue will be printed of the Loan Museum, which will be opened July 31, with an address by Prof. Henry Morley. The Commemoration will take place between July 28 and August 4. Gentlemen who are willing to contribute to the Loan Museum are requested to send to Mr. E. MAYNARD, Free Public Library, Twickenham, for a Loan Form.

Permit me to solicit the assistance of some of your numerous readers in reference to the vote given by my ancestor on some very important question in the Irish House of Commons. Charles Tottenham, of Tottenham Green, in the county of Wexford, was elected one of the members for the borough of New Ross, in the same county, in 1727, in the first Parliament of George II., and continued to represent that constituency until his death in 1758. The designation above mentioned was bestowed on him in consequence of a vote which decided the question at issue. Having been informed that the matter was of extreme importance, he rode some sixty miles to Dublin from his residence, and as the division was imminent, and likely to be very close, he rode direct to the House, without delaying to change his riding suit for uniform or full dress, which was then supposed to be necessary. He arrived at the critical moment, in his huge jack-boots and spattered over with mud, and gave his vote (which happened to be the casting one) for his country and against the Government. It has been a tradition amongst his descendants that he was fined the sum of 500l. for appearing in the House in his dirty boots. However that may be, the whole country rejoiced at his patriotic conduct. A painting by Pope Steevens, a well-known Irish artist, was made in 1749 of him in the act of descending the steps of the House of Commons, exhibiting his riding-dress, boots and whip included. This was engraved by Andrew Miller, and great numbers of the engravings were scattered through the country. Some few have been occasionally offered for sale, but, so far as I could ascertain, they have always brought a very high price. Strange to say, I have never been able, after a diligent search carried on for years, to discover the precise subject on which the vote was given. In Archdall's edition of Lodge's 'Irish Peerage,' 1789, at p. 269 of vol. vii., it is stated that the Irish Treasury should there continue, or be sent question was "whether any redundancy in the into England"; and in his amusing 'Memoirs' Sir Jonah Barrington improves on this statement, and gives the sum of 60,000l. as the precise amount of the surplus. I think that both Archdall and Barrington are wrong. The latter is well known to have drawn considerably on his imagination for facts. Long ago I carefully examined the Commons' Journals, page by page, from the beginning to the end of the reign of George II., and no such question is recorded there. I copied every division on every question during that whole period. Exclusive of three occasions, when the Speaker's vote was given, there were but four divisions decided by a single vote, but the question of disposing of a surplus in the Treasury was not one of these. In Francis Hardy's 'Life of Lord Charlmont,' 1812, vol. i. p. 76, a different account is given. He says, "During Lord Carteret's administration the strange attempt to continue the supplies for twenty-one years was defeated only by one voice"; and then in a note, "Colonel Tottenham, he deserves to be recorded," &c., and then he tells the story of the boots. In Warburton's 'Annals of Dublin' it is stated that this attempt was made in 1729; and in the Commons' Journals, vol. iii. p. 601, I found that a Committee had recommended the taxes to be granted to the Crown for twenty-one years on November 21, 1729. In the report on the question of the Committee of Ways and Means the taxes were approved of, but the "twenty-one years" was omitted. Warburton says, "This audacious attempt was defeated but by a majority of one," but he does not name that one. It seems to me that the question was decided in a Committee of the whole House; but committee proceedings are not usually recorded in the Journals. Assuming that Hardy's is the correct account, Why was the portrait already mentioned not painted for twenty years after the vote was given? The painting was made in 1749, but up to 1751 there was no surplus in the Irish Treasury. On December 23, 1749, an Act was passed for discharging 70,000l. and 58,000l. of the National Debt, and |
