G :ILY ESTEEMED POPULAIT IlDIEDY, PARR'S LIFE PILLS. HUNDREDS who have kept their beds for years rJL have been so speedily reinvigorated with an infusion uf new blood, and consequently of nenr life and strength, by the use of PARR'S LIFE PILLS, that their re-appearance amongst their fellow beings who had long given them up as incurable, is looked upon as the greatest of the many great wonders of this miraculous age. 11 First-Tlie), increase the strength, whilst most other medicines have a weakening effect upon the system. Let anyone take from three to four or six pills every twenty- four hours, and instead of having weakened, they will be found to have revived the animal spirits, and to have imparted a lasting strength to the body. "Secondly—In their operation they go direct to the disease. After you have taken six or twelve pills you will experience their effect; the disease upon you will become less and less by every dose you take and if you will persevere in regularly taking from three to six pills every day, your disease will speedily be entirely removed from the system. Thirdly—They are found, after giving them a fair trial for a few weeks, to possess the most astonishing and invigorating properties, and they will overcome all obstinate complaints, and restore sound health; there is a return of good appetite shortly from the beginning of their use; whilst their mildness as a purgative is a desideratum greatly required by the weak and delicate, particularly where violent purging is acknowledged to be injurious instead of beneficial. As a general Family Medicine they are exceedingly valuable, and no family should be without them they may be used with perfect safety in any disease, for to every disease they are of inestimable value. John Dale, Esq., of Manchester, Lecturer on Chemistry, and Pupil of the late celebrated Dr. Dalton, F.R.S., in a letter addressed to the Proprietors, in London, says I beg to state I find them worthy of being recommended to the public for thpir efficacy and simplicity, and to be really vegetable pills, containing, as thev do. nothinsr but what I I is of vegetable origin None are genuine, unless the words PARR'S LIFE PILLS" are in WHITE LETTERS on a RED GROU-ND. on the Government Stamp, pasted round each box also, the fac simile of the Signature of the Proprietors, T.

I ,N'RAY'S RALSAMIC PILLS have now acquired a sale more extensive than any other proprietary medicine extant j, and tne circumstance of their entirely obviating the necessity of having recourse to those disgusting, nauseous, and ill many cas", hih!y injurious medicines (as copaiba, cubebs, &c.), has obtained for them a reputation nnequaMed in the annals of med.cne. Prior to being advertised these Pills were employed in private practice in upwards of 1,800 cases, many of them most ,nveterate-,n many thousand cases since, and in no one instance known to fail, or to pro-luce those unpleasant symptoms so often ex- perienced U-Mle taking copaiba and that class of med.cines L.a))v resorted to in those complaints for which t'eHasam.c Pills have now become so celebrated. The proprietor pledges himself that not one particle of copaiba, either resin or balsam, cubebs or any deleterious ingredient, enters their composition. Copaiba and Cubebs have long been the most commonly tmpioyed medicines in those complaints; but from the IIneerbjnty in thth effects, together with their iitter ineiffcacy in many cases, are fast declining in reputation; and from the unpleasant symptons in- variably produced from taking copaiba, especially in the early stage of the complaint, many of the most able modern practi- tioners condemn it as dangerous, and not to he depended upon. Many persons after having suffered more from the effects of the remedy than the virulence of the disease, and after a patient but painful perseverence, have been compelled to relinquish its use, the whole system having become more or less affected, and the disease as bad, if not worse, than at the commencement. As regards cubebs, it is true, those violent effects are not experienced as while taking copaiba; but they seldom effect a Cllfe, unless more active medicines are administered. The Balsamic fills r.re free from any of the above objections; they act specifically on the part3 aiYect.ed an,l from their tonic properties, tend to strengthen the system, and improve the general health. They require neither confinement nor alteration in diet (except ab- stinencefrom stimulants, where considerable inflammation exists,) and, as experience has amply proved, they will effect, a cure sooner than copaiba (the dangerous results of which, in the in- flammatory stages, are too well known to need further comment), or any other medicine in present use, and may be justly consi- dered the only safe and efficacious remedy in all stages of those disorders. In addition to these udvantages, the very convenient form in which this invaluable preparation is offered to the public must also be considered a desideratum.-Prepared only by M. O.

If mankind are liable to one Disease more than another, or if there are any particular Affections of the Human Body we require to have a knowledge of over the rest, it is cer- tainly that class of Disorders treated of, in the New and Im- proved Edition of the "SILENT FRIEND." The Authors, in thus sending forth to the world another Edition of their Me- dical Work, cannot refrain from expressing their gratification at the continual success attending their efforts, which, com- bined with the assistance of Medicines, exclusively of their own preparation, have been the happy cause of mitigating and averting the Mental and Phpica.1 miseries attendant on i c- al i-niseries attendant on tho-ie peculiar Disorders: thus proving the fact, that su'ler- ing humanity must always derive the greatest advantages from duly qualified members of the Medical Profession adopting a particular class of disorders for their exclusive study, in preference to a superficial knowledge of all the dis- pases that afflict Mankind.

It is illustrated by Three Explanatory Engravings. PART THE THIRD treats of the diseases resulting from infection, either in the primary or secondary form, and contains explicit UI- rpctions for their treatment. The consequences of early lieglert or of mistreatment, and of the abuse of mercury, in entailing bro- ken health, and a miserableexisteuce, are also clearly pointed out. This section is illustrated by Seventeen Coioured Engravings. PART Trn: FOURTH contains a prescription for the Prevention of Disease by a simule application, by which the uanger of infec- tion is obviated. Its action is simple but sure. It acts with the virus cheiniciiHv, and destroys its power on the system. This important part of the Work should not escape the reader's notice. PART TIn: FIFTH is devoted to the consideration of marriage and its duties. The reason of physical disqualifications, and the causes of unproductive unions are also considered, and the whole subject criticallv and philosophically inquired into. THE CORDL\ BALM OF SYHIACLM is employed to re- novate the impaired powers of life, when exhausted by the influ- enee exerted by solitary indulgence on the system. Its action is purely balsamic; its power in reinvigorating the franic- in all cases of consumption, indipestion, teniale complaints, depression of spirits, and nervous debility, has been demonstrated by its un- varying success in thousands of cases.

MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent has, we hear, taken Abergeldie, a delightful seat adjoining the royal domain at Balmoral, for her residence next autumn. His Majesty the Emperor and the whole Court of Russia went into mourning from the 1st ultimo, for the Queen Dowager of England. The mourning is to last 24 days. The 4th of February is the day named for the sale of the valuable and costly furniture of Marlborough House, Pall-Mall, belonging to her Majesty the late Queen Dowager. Sir Charles Forbes has left JE500 in aid ofthe Asylum for Idiots. The Secretary-at-War has notified to regiments hav- ing savings' banks that Government is responsible to the several depositors for their respective amounts. A youth named Swan, residing at Walsall, took up a gun the other day in the house of a playmate, and playfully pointing it at the servant girl, pulled the trigger. The gun was loaded, and the whole charge of shot lodged in the unfortunate girl's neck, causing instant death. Messrs. Walter Hancock and Co. of West Ham Abbey, have received an order to supply 130 miles length of gutta percha tubing, which is to be laid under the streets of the metropolis for the purpose of electric telegraph communication. The ship Sea has arrived at Sydney with emigrants, in the short time of 8S days from Plymouth. The Right IlolI. T. B. Macaulay has recently been elected a Bencher of Lincoln s-Inn. I tie circumstances under which the election took place are equally ho- nourable to the society and to Mr. Macaulay. This distinction is, it will be recollected, usually restricted to Queen's counsel, a dignity which Mr. Macaulay has not attained, he having, as is well known, long ceased to practice at the bar. The right hon. gentleman's name, however, remained on the society's books. Some short time ago he sent in the usual formal notice to have his name erased therefrom. On the receipt of this notice, Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce brought the j subject under the consideration of the bench, and by a very large majority it was resolved to call, in the per- son of Mr. Macaulay, an utter barrister to the bench of Lincoln's-inn. The Regius Professorship of Divinity at Cambridge, has been officially declared vacant on the resignation of the Lord Bishop of Llandaff. The electors are the Vice-Chancellor (ex officio), the Master, and the two Senior Fellows of Trinity, the Provost of King's, and the Masters of St. John's and Christ's colleges. If any of the electors of the above mentioned colleges be Vice- Chancellor the President of Queen's supplies his place. He will do so on this occasion, as the Rev. Dr. Cart- mell, Master of Christ's College, holds the office. The names of eight or nine gentlemen are mentioned as aspiring to the dignity, but, as the list contains errors both of insertion and omission, the same will not be published in this correspondence until official sanction shall be given to it. The Newton board of guardians have resolved, by 14 to 3, to "admit reporters whenever they think proper to attend." The Roman Catholic-college of Prior-park, near Bath, has been purchased by Mr. Raphael, M.P., for St. Alban's, whiv has given an pxtcnded lease of it to the same parties at a rental equivalent to a reduction of 1;500 per annum. We have reason to believe that there is now under the consideration of the government a bill, to be intro- duced in the ensuing session, for the purpose of giving more efficient action to the Irish Encumbered Estates Act.-Daily yews. A successor to Capt. Marryat, as a writer of narra- tives of naval adventure is, we understand, about to appear, in the person of a naval officer of high rauk, well known as having commanded at the blockade of Alexandria in 1S40. Captain Atanasis, the Greek ship HilIas, is in custody at Newcastle for having attempted to scuttle his vessel, which is bound for the East Indies. The captain gave the seaman, who discovered the act, E25 to withoid his evidence. The vessel was recently insured for £2300. On Monday Lord Brougham read a cientific paper on light, at the Academy of Sciencies, Paris. His facile use of the French tongue was remarkable. It was stated by Mr. Portal, M.P., at the Basing- stoke Agricultural Meeting, that the Bank of England, with its £ 17,000,000 of bullion, pays only 1:150 per annum to the poor-rates, a less sum than is paid by many tenant farmers with holdings of E400 or £500 a-year. On Saturday last, the ship Palermo, from Canton, Captain Campbell, bound for London, was entirely wrecked off ttie coast near Dane, five leagues from Boulogne. The crew, consisting of 18 persons, and three passengers, were saved. Mr. Hibburd, who is now starter" to all the prin- ( cipal races in the kingdom, travelled during the year 1849, in the perfoimance of his duties, a distance of 4579 miles, started 2482 horses in 479 races, the stakes contended for amounting to 145,8.54 sovereigns. The Manchester Examiner observes. "The Times j charges Mr. Cobden with attempting to coerce or dic- tate to capitalists how they are to employ their wealth. But the negociators of this loan are not the men who will hold the stock; they are large merchants and bankers, who will first puff the scrip to a premium, and then pocket the profits by selling out to smaller capitalists." Two young plumbers recently played off a novel trick upon a humourous Boniface. Ordered to mend a broken pane of glass, they inserted a thin sheet of ice, received their pay and a bonus of a glass of ale, and flitted. A cheerful fire blazed within trickle, trickle j fell the pane;" and Boniface too late discovered the ruse. # The following are the Foreign Loans already issued, or in negociation at the present time Russian 4 per cent., £ -5,500,000 Tuscany, EI,200,000 Sardinia, £ 3,000,000; the United States, £ 3,000,000, making a total of £ 13,900,000. The Jewish Chronicle quotes a beatiful apothegm from a Talmudical philosopher the noblest charity is to prevent a man from accepting charity and the best alms are to show and enable a man to despise and dis- I Dense with alms." In a lecture at Birmingham Mr. foulmin Smith as- serted deliberately that there was no commission evesr- issued by the Crown which was not a violation of the law of the land; and that every man who acted on a Crown-appointed commission, without the authority of an act of Parliament, was liable to be indicted. Mr. T. Ilounslow, a respectable bootmaker of the city of Oxford, while skating on Port Meadow, near that city, came slightly in contact with another gentie- man on the ice, fell, and a gimlet, which he had in his "p,)ckct penetrated his back, and after suffering ex- cruciating asony for some days, he died from the effects of the wound made by the gimlet. Mr. Jones Lloyd, it was stated in Commercial Circles on Saturday afternoon, is about to retire from mer- cantile pursuits, oil being made a Peer. The high reputation and wealth of this gentleman gives some confirmation to the on dit, which we report as we heard it. It was stated that the services rendered by Mr. Lloyd to Sir Itobert Peel's Government during the pas- sing of the late Banking Acts had established his claim for the honour about to be conferred on him. The Governor of New Zealand has appointed as Judge, in the Scotch settlement of Otago, a person who was disgracefully struck nlT the rolls of the Court in which he practised in Van Dienian's Land as barriter and attorney. -Spectato)'. The metropolitan correspondent of the Morning Chroniclc says of the class of vagrant boys in the casual wards of the unions: "Sometimes they will elect a chairman, and get up a regular debate, and make speeches from one side of the ward to the other. Many of them will make very clever comic orations others delight in singing comic songs, especially those upon the workhouse and gaols. They mostly pass under ficti- tious names. Some will give the name of'John Rus- sell or Robert Peel,' or Richard Cobden.' The experiment squadron of British men of war, con- sisting of the Ilogue, 5G, steamer the Leander, 50 the Arrozant, -IC), stp-.inler the Thetis, 40 the En- counter, 14 the Conflict, S and the Scourge, 6, steamers were off Lisbon on the 10th instant, awaiting the arrival of the Comrnodore(Captain Martin. and the Prince Regent, 92,) is to be augmented by the NEW frigates Indefatigable, Phaeton, and Arethusa, all 50's, and the Terrible steam-ship, and the squadron will then be 011c of the 1110st powerful and efficient ever at sea. The Independent Dissenters, having disposed of their three Colleges in London, — Highbury, Homerton, and Coward, Dr" making arrangements felf openil1 one large and more eiS r-ient insitution in their stead. A handsome building is ahmit to be erected at St. John's Wood and the Executive Committee have determined to have two faculties in THE CI l';oge, one of Theology, the other of Arts, THF classes of the latter are to be open to pupils of all religious denominations. Under these new arrange- ments some of the professors in the old colleges retire amongst otiiers Dr. Pye Smith, who has heen engaged in academical teaching for now fitly ycars. As a testimony or the ESTEEM in which lie is hri 1, a subscription is in progress of being raised to provide him with an annuity during his lifetime, and afterwards to be appropriated to she f.. ¡l1l f; in: f)f Di vir, i sct:01arshi ¡)s in the New College. Dr. Pye Smith is known, not only as a scholar AND as a divine, but also as a MAN of science, FROM his WHk on I Scripture and geology, in which lie manfully eamc forward I to vindicate for science a right to be heard, when it iias opnosed by blind prejudice and unreasoning dogmatism. A breaking wavo !tip in ,Iiicl. is MI' iu THE MR U 1t:t -1 \i :J.i:111:1 A large building, on the plan of the Free-trade Hall at Manchester, is about to be erected at Bradford. Shares to the amount of E3,000 have already been taken up Baron Walther, one of the most eminent medico- chirurgical celebrities of Germany, formerly a Protestor I of Bonn, died on the 23th ult, in his 6Sth year. ) Lord Dufferin and Claneboyne, one of the Lords-in- II Waiting on her Majesty, has been created a Peer of Great Britain. His Lordship, who has recently attained his 23rd year, is nephew of Lady Seymour and the Hon. Mrs. Norton. A body of influential gentlemen in Cambridgeshire have invited Mr. Serjeant Byles, the distinguished author of Sophisms of Free Trade Refuted," to stand for the county whenever a vacancy in the representation shall occur. It has been lately held by the Court of Common Pleas that the judges of the county courts have jurisdiction to allow persons to sue in forma pauperis; Chief Jus- tice Wilde observing, that if any class of persons should go to the cheap courts, it is paupers who are not able to pay costs." A little girl, only nine years of age, was asked at the Droitwich Sunday-school, the other day, to explain the meaning of the words in Proverbs, A soft answer turneth away wrath," and after a little hesitation made the following rude but expressive answer—"Why, please, ma'am, it's when BODJTJ&NG a body, and you doesn't bang at 'em again." If you would enjoy your food, labour for it; if you would enjoy your raiment, pay for it before you wear it if you would sleep soundly, let a good conscience be ) your bed-fellow.

FIRE IN THE ISLE OF MAN.-On Tuesday evening week, shortly after seven o'clock, a most destructive fire broke out in the new premises of Messrs. Christian, drapers, Ramsay, which raged with such fury that by midnight the whole of that splendid edifice was a mass of ruins. By great exertions the flames were kept from spreading to the neighbouring houses. The fire was distinctly seen several miles outside the Bahama light- ship, and throughout the whole of the northern district, from Kirk Michael to the Point of Ayre. The stock and premises are covered by insurance to the amount of nearly £ 4,000. DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF THE SEAT OF THE DUKE OF MONTROSE.-On Monday night last, Buchanan House, in the parish of Buchanan, Stirlingshire, the I Scottish seat of the Duke of Montrose, was totally destroyed by fire. The fire is believed to have been accidental; but the particulars of the occurrence have not reached us. The ducal mansion was a fine old house, which originally belonged to the once potent family of Buchanan. It was delightfully situated in the neighbourhood of Lochlomond; and what was deficient in architectural graces, was made up by the beauty of the site and grounds. The greater part of the fine fur- niture and historical relics are understood to have perished; but the pictures and family records are hap- pily preserved. The Duke and family were absent at the time of the catastrophe. FIRE AT A RAILWAY STATION.—No little alarm was excited at Glocester on Thursday by a rumour early that morning, that a fire had broken out at the joint station of the Great-Western and Bristol and Birming- ham Railways there. The rumour was speedily con- firmed. The fire happily, however, had not broken out in the offices or tLe goods department, where it would have been of even greater consequence than in the loca- lity where the misfortune actually occurred. Those who have travelled through Glocester are aware that a joint station is erected there for the Great-Western and Midland (Bristol and Birmingham) lines, this being the point at which the broad and narrow gauge lines of the Midland and Great-Western Railways meet. The fire broke out in a building constructed for the performance of some necessary smiths'-work for the locomotive de- partment, which is situated very near to the broad and I narrow gauge platform of the two companies. The building being constructed entirely of wood, the flames quickly extended, and before the Glocester fire-engines could be brought to bear upon them they had com- pletely gained the mastery and presented a fearful aspect, threatening destruction to the adjacent build- ings. It was greatly feared by those not actually on the spot that the flames would extend to the whole of the offices, engine sheds, goods, warehouses, and plat- forms of the joint stations, all of which are constructed of wood. It being found impossible to save the build- ing in which the fire originated, the efforts of the fiiemen were confined to preventing its further exten- sion, and this was happily effected, though not before damage had been committed to the extent of at least £ 1,000. The origin of the fire is attributed to the overheating a furnace, and it is a singular fact that a similar fire occurred on the same premises about IS monlh since. DULADFUL SHIPWRECK AND Loss OF LIFE.—In- formation was received on Wednesday at the War-office and Lloyd's of the loss of the transport Richard Dart, Captain Porter commander. The Richart Dart, in ad- dition to the ofifcers and crew of the vessel, had on board a detachment of the royal sappers and miners (28 men) under the command of Lieutenant Liddell, with Dr. and Mrs. Fitton and child, Dr. Gale, Mr. Kelly, four ?omen (soldiers' wives), and nine children. The ship lef Gravesend on the 5Lh of April for Auckland 1, and about the 14th or I5th of June, when to the south- ward of the Cape of Good Hope, thick and rainy weather was experienced, which continued till the 19th, when she struck on the north side of Prince Edward's Island. The rollers ran terrifically high, and within a short time after the unfortunate ship struck the stern cabin win- dows were stove in, the boats were filled and torn from the quarter, and the uninterrupted breach of the sea over the deck swept away 47 of the passengers and crew. Of these, the chief-mate alone contrived to reach the rocks. The commander, four seamen, an apprentice, and four soldiers (one of whom has since died) reached the shore in the mainmast rigging. SUSPICION OF MURDER.—On Tuesday evening police- man Stamford, belonging to the rural force stationed at Cotgrave, left that place (a village seven miles from Nottingham) in company with a prisoner charged with 1robbing a canal-boat, intending to lodge the man in the Nottinghamshire police station. This circumstance being known to the authorities at Nottingham, the con- stable's absence caused surprise. At eight in the pvenins- Mr. Smart, of the Trent-bridge, was driving on -C' the Cutgrave-road, and near a lonely spot, called Lady Bay-bridge, he observed the policeman alone in a light cart, with his legs stretched out, and his head reclining on the seat. Imagining that he had been drinking, and was asleep, Mr. Smart gave him one or two raps with his whip; and a man of the name of Murdcn coining up at the time, Smart requested the former to arouse the policeman; he was horror-stricken at feeling the policeman cold. A faint gurgle was heard in the throat, but no other appearance of life was mani- fest. He was immediately taken to the Trent Bridge Inn (two miles distant), and a surgeon was sent for but he died in the same state as he was found m.

CAPTURE OF I-IIGIIWAY hi r, N._BRISTCIL, SATUKDAV -For a considerable time past the neighbourhood of this city has been infested by a notorious gang of high- waymen, known to the police under the appellation of the Hanham and Cock-road Gang." To such an ex- tent have their depredations been carried, more espe- cially in the rural districts of Brislington and Keyn sham, that many of the farmers were unwilling to attend, as usual, our corn and other markets, several outrages having recently been committed, attended with a great degree of personal violence. A Mr. Thomas White, farmer, of Balcombe. was attacked the other day within a few hundred yards of a farm-house on the Frome road, by two armed men, who demanded his money or his life they dragged him off his horse and commenced rifling his pockets. He shouted for assist- ance, upon which they stuffed his mouth full of dirt, and robbed him of all his loose cash, his notes, which he had placed in a private pocket, fortunately escaping their notice. Mr. Joseph Wyatt, farmer, of Wick, was attacked in a similar manner near Lansdowne, and rob. bed of his watch and all he had about him the high- waymen also cut his bridle reins and stirrups to prevent his pursuing them. Mr. Wilkins, of the Bell-inn, Chel- wood, Somerset, was way-laid by five men at the bottom of Kuowle-hill, who robbed him and ilien made off in the direction cf Keynsham. About an hour later the same evening Mr. Barrow, a blacksmith and farrier, who carries on business at Keynsham, was stopped and, although he resisted till he "as nearly throttled, the blood gushing from his mouth and nostrils, he was rob- bed of £ 5. By the exertions of police-sergeant HazeH Ko. 70, we are happy to say five of the cang named Samuel Bryant, ilham Powell, 1,Yil!;a:n Gllllning, Sa- muel Rogers, and John Rogers, have been apprehended. One of them, we are informed, has turned approver, I and some bludgeons have been found by the police at a spot indicated by him. The prisoners were examined to-day ayid remanded, and it is stattd that a great iiuin- J I)er of cases will be brought, home to them. Subse- quently to their apprehension another man, named Joseph Brittan, has been taken into custody, and also the keeper of a beershop in the \ic.11ity of Hanham, named Eli Tremlett, at wiiose house, the police have received information, the gang used to Inept. Great sa- tisfaction was expressed by a hot of farmers who were present at the examination, at the capture of these des- perate villains.

MR. HUDSON'S SEAT IN PARLIAMENT.—Thepetitiow to be presented to the House of Commons, in connec- tion with the affairs of the York, Newcastle, and Ber- wick Railway, is still in course of signature. It prays that a committee of the Hous. of Commons may be ap- pointed in the ensuing session to enquire into the causes now affecting railway property, and especially as regards the York, Newcastle, and Berwick, and that if any of these causes can be traced to improper conduct on the part of the late chairman, he may be expelled the house, or such other measures adopted as may be expedient. MR. HUDSON'S DEFENCE.—Mr. Hudson has pub- lished a long letter in defence of his conduct, relative to the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway. It i& too long to be copied. The character of it may be gathered from the concluding passages:—" I would observe, that I am aware that transactions have occur- red which are to be regretted, but in respect of which, it is some consolation to me to reflect that the compatiy have, in no instance, sustained pecuniary loss. Allow ) me to ask you to review those transactors, with some remembrance of the excited period in which they occur- red-of the multiplicity of concerns which I had tti, superintend and direct—of the brief opportunities I had for reflection, and of the impossibility of my giving sufficient attention to the public duties and private mat- ters which then claimed my atteition.The Times, in commenting on the letter, declares, that not one sin- gle material fact which was urged apainst him by the Committee of Investigation does Mr. Hudson attempt to, invalidate. Whether you read his own letter or the report of the Committee, you will equally find that he falsified the accounts paid dividends out of capital by his jugglery, procured that such shares as he desired should be allocated to him sold his own iron to the company; made illegal uses of the name of the associa- tion, and engaged them in speculations without their consent-all these facts are found admitted in the Newby Park manifesto, just as they are set forth in the accu- sation of the committee." THE GREAT EXHIBITION OF 1851.—A meeting was held in the City of London on Friday, in support of the Exhibition of 1851. The scheme is now fairly afloat, and we understand that an account has been opened at the Bank of England in the names of Mr. Barclay, Mr. W. Cotton, Sir J. W. Lubbock, Mr. Peto, and Baron Rothschild, to which all contributions may be paid, either directly or through any of the London bankers. The subscription list had been headed with a donation of f;1000 from her Majesty, and another of JE500 from his R.H. Prince Albert, and several other large sums have been already added to it. Their exam- ple will no doubt be liberally followed; the announce- ment of the determination of the contract with Messrs, Munday, and the statement of the Commissioners that they are invested with unrestricted power over the application of the funds, having been very favourably received in those quarters in which jealousy had been felt of the arrangements as previously subsisting. Times. SALE OF GOVERNMENT SITUATIONS.—In the Queen's Bench, on Thursday, Richard Gunn Mahon, formerly a First Lieutenant in the Royal Marines, was tried for illegally trafficking in the sale of Government situations. The defendant pleaded Guilty" to the charge, which was set forth in an affidavit by Mr. Paxton, jun., a farrier, of Great Russell-street, Berrnondsey. In this- affidavit the deponent stated that his father inserted an advertisement in the Times, on the 2nd of July, 1847, offering a douceur to any one who would procure his son a Government or railway appointment, legally saleable. Immediately after he received a letter from the defendant, dated from Grosvenor House, Knights- bridge, stating that, through the influence of his friends, he could meet the wishes of the advertiser. Several interviews took place at the Ship Hotel, and the defen- dant at one of them produced a letter purporting to be from Lord Clarence Pajiet, the Secretary to the Ord- nance, intimating that an appointment c)uld be obtained. Upon this Mr. Paxton, sen., gave the defendant jE27 10s., taking a short bill for the amount, and after inquiring at the Reform Ciub, and finding the defendant what he purported to be, another sum of money was paid to him, making in all :LIIO, the defendant binding himself by a certain day to procure an appointment in -he Ordnance. He did not, however, keep his word, neither were the bill,, paid. The elder Paxton corroborated in his affi- davit the preceding facts, and both Lord Alfred Paget and Lord Clarence Paget deposed that they had never written to either the defendant or Paxton in their lives. The defendant put in a voluminous document, setting forth that he was the son of a clergyman of the Church England, who died in 1826, leaving him almost unpro- vided for. Through the influence of Lord Brandon and his family a situation was obtained for him in the Royal Marines, in which he had served with credit for eleven years, and was afterwards appointed, in 1841, paymaster in South Wales, but he became embarrassed, and was obliged to resign in 1843. Through some powerful interest he believed he should have been placed upon the half-pay list but for the persecutions of the Paxtons, under whose threats of exposure by advertisements in the newspapers he gave them the promise for which he had been prosecuted, but was unable to fulfil it. Hav- ing been arrested at Bath he petitioned the Insolvent Court, when, owing to the opposition of the Paxtons, 1 he was remanded, and lia* therefore, already undergone a lengthened imprisonment for this same transaction, i Mr. Justise Patteson, in giving judgment, said, that the Court could take no notice of the judicial proceedings under which the defendant had already suffered, as that punishment, although it might have connexion with the fraud, was not enforced for a breach of the art under which the present indictment was brought. The facts disclosed upon the affidavits shewed that if the Court sentenced him to a fine it would be equivalent to a sen- tence of perpetual imprisonment. So they would not do that, but they would order him to be imprisoned for the space of twelve calendar months in the Queen's Prison. The defendant declared, upon his honour, that the letter he produced was from Lord Clarence Paget. He was removed in custody. VALUE OF TF.ETH.-On Thursday an action was brought bv Mr Moseley, a dentist, in Oxford-street, against Mrs. Houston, an elderly lad)', residing at Leamington, to recover the price of a complete set of artificial teeth. The charge for the teeth was £ 52 10s and the defence was that the articles were badly made and altogether useless. It appeared that the plaintiff had a place of business at Leamington, where he professed, by his advertisements, to attend daily, but where he was in fact represented by a person named Bedford. In August last the defendant called on Bed- ford, and ordered a set of artificial teeth. An impres- sion of her gum was taken, and a model sent up to London, from which a set of teeth were made which Mrs. Houghton had, and she then ordered a second set observing that the first set were not made full enough and that if made fuller it would hide the wrinkles and make her look more juvenile. The second set were completed and deliverd at the defendant's residence in September; but in October, when the plsintitf called for payment, the defendant refused to pay for either set of teeth, stating that they did not fit her, and offered to return them, which the plaintiff declined, and afterwards brought the present action. For the defence, it was now proved by her daughter, with whom she resided, 'hat the defendant had only attempted to use the teeth on one occasion, and that she was unable to articulate intelligibly, making a kind of whistling noiae, AND that she was in so much pain and so uncon.fortable that she had immediately to take them out. Three dentists, two of them residing in London and one in Coventry, also proved that they had examined the sets of teeth made by the plaintiff, and had seen them in defendant's mouth, and they were defective in several respects, and could never be useful. The witnesses stated that a great nicety was required in adapting artificial teeth to the mouth of the person for A hom they were intended, and that it was impossible to make a set of teeth which would act satisfactorily without seeing the patient, and carefully fitting the teeth to the gums aftet the teeth were actually made. The teeth now produced, and for which the defendant was called upon tu pay, the" v de- clared to be perfectly useless. 1r. Rolfe told the jury. that if the teeth furnished by the plaiatifi were totally useless for the purposes (if articulation or masti- cation, then the defendant had NUT gt WHAT she ordered and was not bound to pay for them. It was certainly to be considered, however, tha.t the defendant had not offered to return the teeth until APPLIED to for payment. The jury returned a verdict for the praintift—damages £ 42 1 tiieplaint.fi ALLOWING £ 10 10s. for some old gold.—On Ihursda) a rule nvi; for new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence, was moved for and granted. A MEETING TO DISCUSS THE PRINCIPLES or PRO- TECTION AND FREE TRADE.—If we are to judge by the reports of the meetings now being held in different ) parts of the country, the kind of protection most needed j at these assemblies is the protection of the police, or seif-protection of a decided character. That the Pro- tectionists and Free-traders arc determined on making a fight for their respective cause, is quite evident. If the question is to be fought out, the better way WOULD be for a champion on each side to stand up and put 0.1 the gloves, so that, after a fair contest, the combatants might remain hand and glove on frieiidl)- terms for the future.—Punch.
