JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING svavp. THIS Infallible REMEDY has preserved Hundreds of CHILDREN, when thought past recovery, from Convulsions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums the Child will be re- lieved. It is as innocent as efficacious and so pleasant, that no Child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it. When Infants are at the age of four months, the Syrup should be rubbed on the gums and Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery where there are young Children for if a Child wakes in the night with pains in the gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease thereby preventing Convulsions, Fevers, &c.—The great success of this Medicine during the last Twenty-five Years has induced unprincipled persons to imitate it under the name of American Soothing Syrup, and copying parts of Mrs. Johnson's Bills, &c. Parents will, therefore, be very paticular to ask for JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP, and to notice that the- Names of BARCLAY and SONS (to whom Mrs. Johnson has seM the recipe) is on the Stamp affixed to each Bottle.
LONDON NEWS. --
LONDON NEWS. His Majesty has conferred the honour of Knighthood on Commissioner Hill, on his return from his late mission to Ireland. We hear that his Majesty intends to authorise the resto- ration of the Earl of Dundonald (Lord Cochrane) to the rank which he held in the British service. His lordship is now in London, in high health and spirits. It has been reported that he has been offered the command of the squadron which Don Pedro is endeavouring to fit out against Portugal. This is not true-the officer who has been selected for this service is a Captain of the Royal Navy, not so celebrated for bravery and skill as the noble lord, but yet regarded as one of our best oiffcers.—Court Journal. CAUTION TO MILITIA SUBSTITUTES.—On Saturday, TYil- liam Baker was charged with being a deserter from the Surrey Militia, and with enlisting into the 14th Regiment of Foot. It appeared that in May last the prisoner was sworn in as a substitute to serve in the Surrey Militia, and served twenty-eight days. He had since enlisted in the 14th Regiment of Foot, and had been sworn in at Queen- square office. The magistrate said, that for the offence he should commit him for three months to the house of correc- tion, and he felt it his duty to inform him, that at the expi- ration of his time for serving in the Militia, he would then belong to the 14th Regiment, and if he did not join that regiment, he would be apprehended as a deserter. The prisoner appeared astonished at this-information, and was removed in custody. A calculation is said to have been made, shewing that a saving equal to the salaries of all the Cabinet Ministers might be made in the article of public printing alone, in- cluding, of course, the office of King's printer, now half vacant. NOVEL MODE OF EVADING THE STAMP ACT.-A curious method of evading the Newspaper Stamp Act was put into practice on Saturday, for the first time, we believe, in this or any other country. A folio weekly newspaper, called The Political Handkerchief" printed upon white calico, was published at fourpence. FIR E.-Between twelve and one o'clock on Monday se'n- night a fire broke out in the lower part of Mr. Phillips's house, who is an extensive brush manufacturer, at 18, Wade-place, Hackney-road; and in consequence of there being a scarcity in the supply of water, all the property was entirely consumed. The family with difficulty effected their escape through a back yard in their night-clothes. Mr. Phillips is insured. DISTRESSING CASE.-On Friday night week, about eleven o'clock, a policeman of the M division brought a man and two boys to the station on the Southwark-road, who had been delivered to him to pass to St. George's Workhouse, with a certificate from a surgeon of the name of Wells, in the Old Kent-road, describing that the poor creatures were suffering from want. According to their statement, it ap- peared that they had been in Kent, in search of employment as hop-pickers, without success, and had travelled back without food in the rain of the preceding day, and were quite exhausted. They were sent immmediately to the workhouse, where one of the boys died about an hour after his admission. Charles Mathews, the comedian, by a mere accident, escaped being involved in the wreck of the Rothsay Castle steamer. He had finished his engagement at Liverpool, was going to visit his particular friend, Owen Williams, Esq., at his house in Anglesey, and had taken his passage on board the Rothsay Castle, but arrived at the dock a few minutes after the vessel had sailed. FATAL DEFENCE.—The driver ofa stage-coach, No. 4001, appeared on Wednesday to answer the complaint of John Gurney Fry, Esq., for furiously driving against his cabrio- let. Mr. Fry, stated that on the preceeding Saturday even- ing he was driving with a friend in his own cabriolet, and met the defendant near Euston-square. The stage-coach was coming at the rate of 15 or 16 miles per hour; and Mr. Fry becoming alarmed for his own safety, drove as close to the curb-stone as he possibly could, and at the same time drew up. The stage-coach left its proper side, and, striking against the breast of Mr. Fry's horse, twisted it completely round. There were three persons on the box at the time.—The defence of the driver was, that a neigh- bour of his, a tobacconist, was riding on the box, and re- quested to drive; as a neighbour, Coachee could not refuse him, and accordingly surrendered the whip and reins into his hands it was to this that the twist which Mr. Fry's horse had got was owing.—Mr. Rawlinson considered that a tobacconist might be very learned in twist, but it was not a necessary consequence he should be equally so in driving. Having called for the Act, it appeared that, for indulging the taste of his neighbour, the tobacconist, Coachee was lia- ble to a penalty of not less than X5 which was imposed ac- cordingly.—There remained two other offences-the furious driving, and allowing three persons to be on the box; but Mr. Fry interfered on behalf of the defendant, and the other charges were not proceeded with. The proprietor of the coach, however, was bound over in the sum of £20 for the driver's good behaviour for the next twelve months. WIT FROM THE GODS.—At the Birmingham Theatre a few evenings ago, while the Russian horns were preparing to sound, and all was anxious silence, an inhabitant of the upper regions called out—" Play up the Cholera Morbus." There was an instant call of "Turn him out." When the god replied, with the utmost sang jroid, What should you turn me out for? It's a Russian Air, isn't it?"
COUNTRY NEWS. --
COUNTRY NEWS. POACHERS AND GAMEKEEPERS.—About two o'clock on the morning of Saturday se'nnight, the gamekeeper of Went- worth Bayly, Esq. of Weston Market, Suffolk, going his rounds, aacompanied by an assistant, encountered a gang of seven poachers. Three of them ran off at their appear- ance, but a desperate conflict took place between the re- maining four and the keepers. The keepers were knocked down and dreadfully beaten, and left in a senseless state. GENERAL GROUCHY.—This officer, whose conduct at Waterloo has been the subject of so much discussion, ar- rived at Brighton last week, from France, by the Talbot steam-packet. SUDDEN DEATH.—An individual named Dougal Camp- bell, residing in Callander, died in an awfully sudden man- ner on Saturday se'nnight. He had just breakfasted, and was apparently as well as usual, when he suddenly uttered a cry or moan, and instantly expired.-Stirling; Journal. DANGEROUS DREAM.—On Tuesday mornincr se'nnight, a gentleman residing at Linton dreamed that the house was falling, and bolting out of bed, rushed to the stair, and took it at one leap. When raised, he was insensible, his right thigh-bone broken, and his person otherwise severely bruised. A dispatch was sent for Surgeon Liston, who set the thigh-bone, and administered such cordials as have put the gentleman in a fair way of recovery.—Edinburgh Paper. THE UTILTARIAN SYSTEM.—The skeleton of Corder, the murderer, has been placed in a recess of the Museum of the Suffolk Infirmary, Bury St. Edmonds. It is covered with a glass case, beneath which is a box to receive contribu- tions. Every visiter is expected to put silver into this box, which money is applied to the wants of the necessitous pa- tients. By an ingeniously constructed spring, the arm of the skeleton points towards the box as soon as the visiters approach it. The receipts are said to average f50 per an- num.-Globe. Wednesday se'nnight, a poor man named John Llewellyn was found by a policeman, who was attracted by the screams of the unfortunate man's daughter to the house, in Kenning- ton Lane, suspended by a cord to the bed-post, quite life- less. It appears that the man was driven to desperation by an accumulation of miseries. Twelve months ago he lost his wife, five months ago his son was scalded to death, his daughter is pregnant by a scoundrel who has deserted her; he had no means of subsistance, and was in hourly expecta- tion of having his furniture distrained for rent. ROBBERy.-On Thursday se'nnight in the morning, at Laughton-en-le-Morthen, the house of a lady named Clarke, a widow was entered by a chamber window; one of the thieves proceeded to Mrs. Clarke's bed-room, and de- manded her money; she immediately presented her purse containing some silver; she was ordered to produce some- thing more, whereupon she gave to the fellow her pocket- book, containing a five-guinea note of the Rotherham Bank. The thieves having decamped, it was discovered, that be- tween X200 and £300 in gold, consisting of sovereigns and guineas, had been taken from a coffer in one of the rooms. A considerable number of fine sheets, and two, or three sil- verspoons, were likewise carried off.—Sheffield Iris. A labouring man, named Wm.Grant, has been charged with stabbing a young woman, named Mary Cheney, at Sibbertoft, near Welford, Northamptonshire, on Monday evening se'n- night. The prisoner had been for some time acquainted with the unfortunate female, but the intimacy was objected to by the deceased, and the prisoner had recently understood that she encouraged the attentions of another man. She was 21 years of age. Grant was much intoxicated at the time, and affirms that he was perfectly unconscious of the act. He is 41 years of age. The prisoner's mother died last week, and was buried on Sunday, and it should seem that the refusal of the deceased to walk with the prisoner in the funeral procession was one of the circumstances which rankled in his breast. The deceased was servant to Mrs. Manton, and on Tuesday evening last was sent by her mistress to Mr. Bates's in the village for some barm, when she met the prisoner, who accompanied her on her way home, and when in a rather retired part of the lane leading to her mistress's, suddenly drew out a knife and stabbed her repeated ly in the neck and breast. The screams of the poor girl brought a person named Holmanto her assistance, who secured the prisoner as he was in the act of kneeling on the girl and repeating his blows. The girl died the next day. A coroner's inquest was held on Thursday last, at the Swan Inn, at Sibbertoft, when the jury without hesitation, returned a verdict of wilful murder against William Grant. The prisoner was then committed to the county gaol. DEATH FROM DRINKING.—A man named Blomfield was found dead in his bed on the morning of Wednesday se'n- night, from suffocation, produced by intoxication. A POPULAR M. P.—The inhabitants of several parishes in the neighbourhood of Goresbridge, to testify their respect for Mr. Blackney, one of our respected county members, assembled, and in two days cut down and placed in actual preservation, the corn of several hundred acres of a farm adjoining his demesne; and declared their determination to adopt a similar plan in the management of his affairs, so long as he remained in parliament the advocate of his coun- try's rights.— Carlow !\lorniug Post. A very extensive forgery, or rather series of forgeries, has been detected in Norfolk. Mr. Tuck, a miller of Elsing, had, it appears, diawn bills on the consignment of goods on respectable houses in the regular transactions of his bu- siness. Making these the foundations, Tuck, presented various forged acceptances to the bankers who discounted his paper, and has obtained considerable sums. About three weeks ago, he gave out that some property had been bequeathed to his wife in a distant part of the kingdom, and that he was about to take a long journey to ascertain its amount and make the arrangements necessary. Under this pretext he absconded, and gained sufficient time to escape, it is supposed to America, or some foreign country. One house has discovered X1300 upon them, and we have heard of ten other bills presented to another individual of the city. The total is not vet ascertained. There is a remarkably large espalier apple-tree, growing at Doveridge, the seat of the Right Hon. Lord Waterpark. The sort is well known in that neighbourhood by the name of the Doveridge Nonsuch, and it has been planted upwards of forty-three years. The length from one extremity to the other, is ninety-nine feet, and it increases annually from two to three feet. It is an enormous bearer, and an excellent fruit, but more adapted for the kitchen than for eating, as it grows to a large size. Another very remarkable feature is, that on one side of the tree, three banches invariably bear fruit on alternate seasons; so that the branch bearing the present year, will next season be destitute of fruit, and in the same manner, the branches bearing next year will rest the year following. ATTEMPT AT M VHDER.-On the night of Friday week, between the hours of twelve and one o'clock, a servant of Charles Goring, Esq. was shot at by some villain from be- hind the hedge on the turnpike-road between Horley and Red-hill; the ball passed through his hat, which was knocked off his head, he picked it up, and immediately discharged a pistol in the direction whence the shot was fired. The ball perforated the side of the hat, and passed out at the crown. SKIT IN LAMBS.—In many parts of the country this dis- ease in lambs is extremely fatal at this season of the year. As a preventive, however, the following medicine has been administered with the greatest success-viz. one teaspoonful of powdered charcoal, one teaspoonful of common salt, one ditto of sweet nitre, and half a ditto of laudanum. Mix the whole together, take the lambs so affected from the flock, and administer the whole. For an old sheep give a double quantity. MURDER.—On Sunday se'nnight, in the evening, a farmer named Hession, going home from a hurling-match, accom- panied by his wife and some other women, was attacked at Cloughane, near Clare Galway, by five men, who were waiting for him near a gap. One man struck him with a stick on the head, knocking him against a wall, which fell beneath him; another struck at him when falling, hitting him also on the head and when down, four of the five beat him most brutally. His wife, who was far ad- vanced in pregnancy, threw herself across the body, striving to protect the head and vital parts, and was herself brutally beaten the man was at this time senseless, the blood spout- ing profusely from his head and mouth. When assistance came, it was found that Hession was dead. A verdict of wilful murder has been found against John Cullinane, John Walsh, both of Toneahilly, John Heany, of Cloughane, and Thomas Nolan, of the Gates, and against James Holmes, of Loughgeorge, as aiding and abetting.- TVestcrn Argus.
FOREIGN NEWS. ---
FOREIGN NEWS. DoK MIGUEL.—A letter from Lisbon, dated August 15, states that Don Miguel has already began to neglect the performance of those solemn pledges which it had lately given to the English minister. In consequence of the po- pular commotions which took place here upon the arrival of the French squadron in the Tagus, several arrests have taken place amongst those so arrested are several British subjects. The English Consul immediately protested against these proceedings, but the Portuguese government not being inclined to extend its indulgence towards those who have relapsed into error, these foreign prisoners are still subjected to the weight of the accusations which are directed against them. The English Consul has demanded of his government formal and precise instructions with regard to these fresh outrages. 1-11 The Pope at Rome has lately published an edict which has made him extremely unpopular. He has instituted an Asylum for Assassins at Ostia, and some other unhealthy towns about ten leagues from Rome, with a view of in- creasing their population, though, it is to be feared, at the imminent risk of travellers passing near them. Sanctuaries were first suppressed by Urban V. in the 14th century. They were afterwards re-established, enabling men, though guilty of the greatest crimes, to shelter themselves by seeking refuge in the court of a cardinal's palace and they were again abolished about forty years ago. They are now re- stored—for a short time only, it is hoped. Before this edict was issued the threshold of a church in Rome could not be passed by the assassin, whose hands, reeking in blood, would be raised in vain to demand an asylum from the ministers of that religion which he had outraged for, even when in the act of begging mercy of an offended God in his temple, he might be seized py the officers of justice, in order that he might expiate his crime. J VIENNA, ApG. 22.—News has lately been received from Zara of the death of Lieutenant Field-Marshal Baron Von Tomasiel, Commander-in-Chief in Dalmatia. From Hun- gary we have melancholy accounts of dreadful excesses in some counties: a band of wretches of the lower class are authors of them, and besides robberies, have also murdered some persons. At the request of the other inhabitants for assistance, his Majesty has ordered a military force to pro- ceed immediately by forced marches to restore order in the counties in question. The Nuremburg Correspondent gives the following, under the date of Berlin, August 8:—"The following is the in- formation we have been able to collect as to the negoci- ations said to be going on between the Russians and the Poles :-Paskewitsch requires that Warsaw shall be sur- rendered at discretion. He engages his honour to obtain from the magnanimity of the Emperor a grant of every just demand. A general amnesty is to be published. Although many people at Warsaw are inclined to accept these con- ditions, no man has been found of sufficient courage to de- clare their acceptance in the name of the whole nation, for every one fears the fate of General Gielgud, the popular party being in the highest state of excitement. The greater part have declared their resolution to die rather than to sub- mit to slavery, or a lengthened captivity in Russia or Si- beria. The majority of the National Government entertains the same sentiments; therefore we must expect shortly a sanguinary and decisive battle under the walls of Warsaw." The following is a communication received from Konigs- burg, dated August 15 The Emperor Nicholas is not dead, but his health is much altered. Not trusting to his own physicians he has sent for those of Berlin. The King of Prussia has sent him Withe-i and Ruste, besides Dr. Horne, who has been at St. Petersburgh for the last two months. The government does not conceal the interest it takes in the affairs of Russia, and thus even confounds the interests of that country with those of our own. For our own part, of all other nations our sympathies are most alive for the fate of Poland. Our ladies make lint, and send it secretly to the Poles, and we likewise send them money.— Our government, on the contrary, furnish the Russians with arms, powder, and provisions; and the Russians reimburse them with the cholera morbus. In spite of all the precau- tions which are taken, the cholera gains ground it i< actu- ally within seven leagues of Breslaw.-It is impossible to pass the frontier of Poland there is a sentinel stationed at every fifty or sixty paces distance. The Russians alone pass and repass without interruption. The murmuringsare kept under; all are sad; nothing is spoken above a whis- per. All this presages nothing good. The new-born son of the Emperor Nicholas has been ap- pointed Commander of the regiment of Lancers of the Guard, and enrolled in the battalion of Sappers of the Guards POLISH ENTHUSIASM.—A German physician at Warsaw gives the following singular instance of the enthusiasm of the Poles in the cause of their unhappy country. He states, that on the day following the last proclamation addressed to the army, having gone to the hospital, at which it was his duty to attend about thirty soldiers, lie was astonished to find the hospital quite empty. The attendants told him that the patients, on hearing of the proclamations, had re- paired to the appointed rendezvous. The physician went in search of his half-dead patients, whom he very shortly found, and who upon seeing him declared that they were were perfectly cured; at the same time requesting him to interpose in their favour, that they might be restored to their respective corps. Although a great many of these brave fellows were sick with typhus, and the remainder in a vety feeble state, enthusiasm had so strengthened them for the moment that the physician could scarcely believe his own eyes. The effect, however, did not long continue, and he succeeded in getting his patients back to the hospital, though not without the assistance of some attendants and others on the spot; for the greater part soon became so exhausted that they could not return without assistance. ALGERINE COOKERy.-The ex-Dey of Algiers dined one day last week with the President of the Council in Paris. Hussein was accompanied by a single servant, who did not quit him during the whole dinner. He was dressed in the eastern style, and wore a richly-ornamented poniard in his belt. His eyes were concealed by a pair of green spectacles. During the day he sent a message to M. Perier, to request he would admit his cook into his kitchen to dress his victuals. The President of the Council having complied with his request, Hussein's cook, a little before the hour of dinner, arrived with a pair of live fowls, of which he cut off the head and legs, and then plunged them into boiling water. The Dey made his repast on those two fowls served up with boiled rice. Loss OF AN AMERICAN STEAMER.—It is reported that the steam ship Henry Clay has been lost in Lake Erie, and that all on board (700 in number) have perished. The paupers in the Philadelphia almshouse workhouse have petitioned for leave to remain two hours at dinner.- New York Enquirer. HuRRiCANE.—On the 24th April, a dreadful hurricane, accompanied by snow, occurred in the Russian possessions on the frontiers of China. It continued without intermission for four days; and the damage is estimated at 216,000 rubles. The New York Courier gives the following romantic oc- currence :-A few days since, a young tradesman, a native of Ireland, but long a resident in this city, in passing along a wharf at which a ship from one of the ports in Ireland was about to be made fast, stopped, as is usual with persons from a foreign country, to observe whether any face which had been familiar to their eye in earlier years might not pre- sent itself.—In the bustle of attempting to get quickly on shore, one of the passengers fell into the dock and instantly sunk under the vessel ;-without a moment's hesitation, the young man before alluded to, who had remained to gratify his curiosity, plunged into the deep after the drowning man, and with considerable difficulty succeeded in bringing him safe on land. The deliverer very naturally felt anxious to see his prize restored to perfect life, and with this view re- mained to tender his assistance, without going away to change or even dry his apparel. A few moments after some simple remedies had been applied, the rescued man slowly opened his eyes and murmured, "God bless you-God bless you, it would be too soon to die far, far away from home." The voice, and the awakening countenance of the newly ar- rived youg man, filled the other with an intensity of eager- ness visible to all around—he asked the place of birth, and name of his patient; both questions were soon answered satisfactorily enough to prove that the rescued and the re- scuer were brothers! It is needless to attempt to relate the sequel—in an instant they were interlocked in a close em- brace, and a thousand questions and congratulations were made on each side before one could be answered. Finally the brothers retired amidst the ejaculations and the wonder of all who observed the singular scene. -.000-
