A MOST MIRACULOUS CURE OF BAD LEGS AFTER FORTY THREE YEARS' SUFFERING. Extract of a Letter from Mr. William Galpin, of 70, Saint Mary's Street, Weymouth, dated May 15th, 1851. To Professor HOLLOWAY, Sin,-At the age of 18 my wife (who is now 61) caught a violent oold, which settled in her legs, and ever since that time they have been more or less sore, and greatly inflamed. Her agonies were distracting, and for months together she was deprived entirely of rest and sleep. Everv remedy that medical men advised was tried, but without effect; her health suffered severely, and the state of her legs was terrible. I had often read your Advertise- ments, and advised her to try your Pills and Ointment; and, as a last resource, after every other remedy had proved useless, she consented to do so. She commenced six weeks ago, and, strange to relate, is now in good health. Her legs are painless, without seam or scar, and her sleep sound and undisturbed. Could you have witnessed the sufferings of my wife during the last 43 years, and contrast them with her present enjoyment of health, you would indeed feel delighted in having been the means of so greatly alleviating the sufferings of a fellow creature. (Signed) WILLIAM GALPIN. A PERSON TO YEARS OF AGE CURED OF A BAD LEG, OF THIRTY YEARS' STANDING. Copy of a Letterfroln Mr. Wm. Abbs, Builder of Gas Ovens of liushcliffe, near Huddersifeld, dated May olst, 1851. To Professor HOLLOWAY, SIR,—I suffered for a period of thirty years from a bad leg, the result of two or three did'erent accidents at Gas Works; accom- panied by scorbutic symptoms. I had recourse to a variety of medical advice, without deriving any benefit, and was even told that the leg must be amputated, yet, in opposition to that opinion, your Pills and Ointment have effected a complete cure in so short a time, that few who had not witnessed it would credit the fact. (Signed) WILLIAM ABBS. The truth of this statement can be verified by Mr. W. P. Eng- land, Chemist, 13, Market-street, lludersfield. A DREADFUL BAD BREAST CURED IN ONE MONTH. Extract of a Letter from Mr. Frederick Turner, of Pens- hurst, Kent, dated December 13th, 1850. To Professor HOLLOWAY, Dear Sir—My wife had suffered from bad breasts for more than six months, and during the whole period had the best medical attendance, but all to no use. Having before healed an awful wound in my own leg by your unrivalled medicine, I determined again to use your Pills and Ointment, therefore gave them a trial in her case, and fortunate it was I did so, for in less than a month a perfect cure was effected, and the benefit that various other branches of my family have derived from their use is really as- tonishing. I now strongly recommend them to all mv friends. (Signed) FREDERICK TURNER. A WONDERFUL CURE OF A DANGEROUS SWELLING OF THE KNEE. Copy of a Letter from John Forfar, an Agriculturist, residing at Ncwborough, near Hexham, dated, May 15th 1850. To Professor IIOLLOWAY, SIR,—I was afflicted with a swelling on each side of the leg rather above the knee, for nearly two years, which increased to a great size. I had the advice of three eminent Surgeons here. and was an inmate of the Newcastle Infirmary for four weeks. Afte r various modes of treatment had 1,I)eeti tried, I was discharged as incurable. Having heard so much of your Pills and Ointment I determined to try them. an 1 in less than a month I was completely cured. What is more remarkable I was engaged twelve hours a day in the Hay Harvest, and although I have followed my la- borious occupation throughout the winter, I have had no return whatever of my complaint. (Signed) JOHN FORFAR. AN INFLAMMATION IN THE SIDE PERFECTLY CURED. Copy of a Letter from Mr. Francis Amot, of Breuluuse Lothian Road, Edinbro', dated April 29tii, 1831. To Professor IIolloway, 6iit,-Ilor more than twenty years my wife has been subject," from time to time, to attacks of inflammation in the side, for which she was bled and blistered to a great extent, still the pain could not be removed. About four years ag.> she s;iw, in the pa- peis, the wonderful cures effected by your 1 ills alld Oiutml nt, and thought she would give them a trial. To her great astoiiisiimeat and delight she got immediate relief from their use and alter persevering for three weeks the pain in her side was completely cured, and she has enjoyed the best of health for the last four years. (Signed; FRANCIS ARNOT.

Extract from the "Medical Gazette and Times. Fortunately for our country, a more efficient (because certain) mode of treat- in" these deplorable complaints is at last introduced and we hail the time as not lar distant when such diseases shall be compa- ratively unheard of: we would earnestly recommend all persons afflicted with any kind of generative derangement to avail them- selves of the information contained in almost every page of DR. DE ROOS' Work, which we unhesitatingly pronounce as the best e* eXiÎ MEDICAL ADVISER is indeed a boon to the Public, as it has the two-fold advantage of plainness and being written by a duty qualified and skilful man, who evidently well understands his subject.—W. Times. "This is a work of superlative excellence, and one we should recommend to the perusal of all; in fact the information therein conveyed is quite essential to those of either sex who contemplate marriage."—Record. 11 illiny a Man, who unmarried and miserable, is now enduring in silent sorrow the penalties of former folly (perhaps committed in ignorance,) had he possessed such a book as this, would have been a. happy husband, a honoured parent, and useful member of society. -B. A. Dispatch, January 19. The diffidence and fear of exposure, consequent on these affections, frequently prevent persons applying for assistance, until great mis- chief has been inflicted on the constitution and powers of life. It is hoped the perusal of this work will teach such persons the evils of delay, and lead them at once to seek that assistance which alone can save them from the horrors of an existence protracted amidst long enduring wretchedness, both mental and physical. Lasting benefit can only be reasonably expected at the hands of the intelligent and practical physician, who, departing from the routine or general practice, devotes the whole of his studies to this class ot dis- eases, the lamentable neglect of which by ordinary medical men, and their futile attempts at cure by mercury and other equally dangerous medicines have produced the most alarming results. From the great extent of Dr. DE ROOS' practice for many years, and his former connection with the various Institutions both in Lon- don and Paris, for the relief of those afflicted with Debility, Syphilis, Secondary Symptoms, Stricture, Gleet, Venereal and Scorbutic erup. tions, &c., of the face and body; he has had perhaps unusual facili- ties for observing the peculiarities and consequences of each particular stage. Hence be is enabled confidently and conscientiously to under- take the removal of every symptom (not excepting the most inveterate or long standing) in as short a time as is consistent with safety, of return the Money. Country patients wishing to place themselves under treatment will be minute in the detail of their cases, and to prevent trouble no letters from strangers will be replied to unless they contain £1 in cash, or by Post Office, payable at the Holborn Office, tor which the necessary Advice and Medicine will be sent to any part of the world.

CAUTION.—A Self-Styled ten shilling Doctor kunblusbingimpu- dence being his only qualification) is now advertising under a dif- erent name, a highly injurious imitation of these medicines, which to allure purchasers, he encloses in a useless abbieviated copy of Dr. De Roos' celebrated Medical Adviser, sliphtly changing its title: sufferers will therefore do well to see that the stamp which bears the proprietor's name affixed to each box and bottle, is a BONA FIDE GOVERNMENT STAMP (not a base counterfeit), and to guard against the truthless statements of this individual, which are pub- lished only for the basest purposes of deception on invalids and fraud on the Proprietor. TO PREVENT FRAUD on the public by imitations of the above valuable remedies, Her Majesty's Honourable Commissioners of Stamps have directed the name of the Proprietor to be engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to all his Medicines, in white letters, on a red ground, without which none are genuine, and to imitate which too closely is forgery. and transportation.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The political crisis in France is ripening into a large crop of Ministries and manifestoes. Every day turns out two or three new combinations for suggested Cabinets, all about equally apocryphal. M. Billault tried hard to form an Ad- ministration, and was more than once called back to the Elysee to renew his task, even after he had given it up in despair. Ultimately, however, the impossibility of success was recognised, and M. Billault left Paris. The great diffi- culty lies in the point, of which Louis Napoleon makes a sine qua non, that his Ministers snail co-operate with the efforts to secure his own re-election, and at the same time carry through the Assembly the repeal of the Electoral Law of May 31. Either of these measures it would be easy to find plenty of Ministers willing to undertake; but not both. To repeal the law of May, and thus restore universal suffrage, is a move to which all the Republican party look forward w ith impatience, and their leaders would willingly take charge of it. But the renewed lease of the Presidentship to Louis Napoleon smacks of legitimacy and order," and is therefore highly distasteful to the democrats, while the bourgeoisie and middle class, who might, perhaps, support it, are terrified at the bare idea of universal suffrage and a renewed appeal to the masses. In this deadlock the only thins; which seems pretty well decided is that the new Cabinet, whatever it may be, is to be composed principally of members wot in the As- sembly. Meanwhile, the President issues a manifesto, or whatTs equivalent to such nearly every morning, only that instead of appearing in the official Moniteur, it is published in the Con- stitutional, and signed most commonly" Granier de Cassag- nac." The tone of these papers is growing daily more prononce in Republicanism. Other manifestos are announced to be in preparation by different parties to the expected con- test. Joimille, it is said, will proclaim himself a candidate for the Presidentship, this time with the consent of the whole Orleans family and party. Changarnier has also a message"' on hand, written in the cause of order, and hitting Louis Na- poleon hard. Not to be behind-hand in the race, the Rouge party are looking up candidates-one or two—who are busily preparing addresses and manifestoes of Socialist com- plexion. The Asemblee Nationale announces the death of the Duchess d'Angouleme, the sister of the unfortunate Louis XVI. on the 19th, at Folisdorff. A lady of considerable beauty and still young, died a few weeks ago (says the Constitutionel) at the Batignolles. As she had lived alone, the jllge depaiz of the district took pos- session of her furniture and effects on behalf of the heirs. Amongst other things was a rather large collection of richly- bound books. On opening one of the volumes, the juge de paix found a will in a second there was a second will; and in nearly all the others there were others. Each of these wills was of a different date, and each constituted a different person universal legatee. These legatees were all young men-officers of the army, advocates, shopmen, artists, actory, students, architects, physicians—in short of every profession, and of almost every class of society. Inquiries having been instituted, it was ascertained that the lady had married eight or ten years before, but, being of a romantic disposition, had soon violated her fidelity to her husband, and, having abandoned him, had indulged openly in intrigues with every young man who struck her fancy. Her relations with each were, however, of short duration, owing to the fickleness of her disposition but having, it appear", a sort of monomania for making wills, she regularly drew up one in favour of every new lover. Each will thus set aside that wnich preceded it; but the last of all was valid. The jufje depttix caused the person named in this last one to be sought for, and he turned out to be a young artist without fortune, He was warmly congratulated on his good luck, and calcu- lated on being placed in comfortable circum-iances fur "ife- the lady having an income of francs a-year; but a few days ago the husband presented himself, and destroyed all the artist's hopes by producing his marriage contract, which es- tablished him inheritor of all his wife might leave at her death. ITALY. The Roman authorities, instead of facilitating the residence of foreigners, increase the tax on the carte de sejour, and in- sists on every member of a family, the children excepted, having a separate license, to reside in the holy city. They a!so make difficulties about delivering it for a longer period that one month, in order to oblige strangers to pay them a monthly tax of six pauls. Yet it is by them that Rome, it may be said, lives in a great part, the inhabitants' chief re- sources being house-letting and similar industries. SPAIN. The news of a ministerial modification, for some Ii vs, has turned out to be true. Gonzalez Bravo is to be Minister of Forein Affairs, instead of Miraflores, who is goin g to Paris as Minister Plenipotentiary. Benavides will be Minister of Grace and Justice, instead of Gonzalez Romero, and Llorente will be Minister of Public Works instead of Arteta. This modification, insisted upon by Queen Christina, is not much relished by the President of the Council of Ministers, who considers his post much more secure with his present col- leagues, whose political insignificance keeps them docile and completely submissive to his will. GREECE Letters from Athens of the 8th announce that tHe seas have at last been cleared of the pirates which have so long infested tlievi. The formidable Negros and his companions have ceased to exist. It is to the indefatigable exertions of the French navy, and to the aniious Interference of M. Forth Rouen, the French Minister, that Greece owes this happy ) result. For the last seven months past the admiral com- manding the French squadron at the Pirajus had ordered the brig Le Fabert to pursue the pirate Negns. Four months aro the French commander was nearly capturing him at Nicaria, but he succeeded in escaping. Fresh orders were given, and the Fabert commenced a fresh cruise after him in the early part of September. About the 10th the captain of the brig discovered traces of Negros in the Archipelago of Sporades. He tracked him successi vely from island to island, and at length hemmed him in by means of his boats between Nicaria and Samos. The Turkish Government of the latter island having been informed of this fact sent a de- tachment of fifteen Albanians, commanded by an officer, to assist the French in his capture. They found Negros with three of his companions 011 a rising ground watching the movements of the trench boats. On the Albanians advanc- ing, Negros levelled his musket at the officer, but the guu missed fire, and, the Albansans firing, Negros and his three companions fell dead on the spot. TURKEY. The Egyptian question is likely to be settled in the most satisfactoiy way. The last letter of the Grand Vizier to Abbas Pasha says clearly that the Porte cannot acknowledge the right of Abbas Pasha to enter into negotiations with fo- reign emissaries involving the interests and resources of the country for the future, but if the Pasha applies to the Porte for the permission of the construction of a railway', the Porte will grant this permission. ARABIA. I A Bohemian journal has the following from Constantino- ple, without date.— The Wechabiies have attacked the cities of Mecca and iledina, massacred a great number of the inhabitants, burned the mosques, and pillaged the cities."
DARING BURGLARY.I
DARING BURGLARY. I A brutal attack was made on Friday last at the residence of a very respectable couple, Mr. Fairley and his wife, natives of Scotland. Mr. Fairley has been a farming bailiff in Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire for many years, and has lately had the management of large farms, the property of R. H. Hussey, Esq., and lives at the Holborn Farm, situ- ate about a mile from Upwood, and about the same distance from Wiston and Great Raveiv. About eleven o'clock on Friday, the 24th instant, Mr. Fairley heard footsteps near his house he immediately seized his fire-arms (a horse-pis- tol and a revolver), and told the robbers, whom he saw through his bedroom window, that he would shoot them if they attempted to enter. The robbers immediately smashed the shutters and glass of the parlour window, and also the back door. Mr. Fairley stationed himself at his bedroom door, at the top of the stairs, and waited the approach of the robbers, who bad now got lights, and seemed very cautious. Mr. Fairley aimed at one with his horse- pistol, which unfortunately missed fire. He then took his revolver, and, whenever he got sight of any of the robbers, fired at them, and they in return tired at him. Mr. Fairley fought the robbers for upwards of an hour, his wife encouraging him by telling him repeatedly to take steady aim the robbers being foiled in their attempt to get up the stairs, procured a quantity of straw and articles of furniture, which they laid in the passage at the bottom of the stairs, to which they set fire, shutting the side doors so as to force the smoke up the stairs. MrS". Fairley now opened the window of the bed-room to allow the smoke to escape, and when doing so received a violent blow on the head from a stone. When nearly suffocated, Mr. and Mrs. Fairley sur- rendered. There were five robbers in the house, and others were outside they were all masked, and were armed with four guns and three horse-pistols. After Mr. and Mrs. Fairley surrendered they' received several violent blows. The robbers ransacked the house, broke open drawers and boxes, scattered about linen and wearing apparel, aud destroyed furniture, glass, earthenware, eatables, and dunkables. They afterwards regaled themselves with bread and meat and cheese. Mr. Fairley told them where to find a bottle of good Scoich whisky, and invited them to partake fieely of other spirits; they left about three o'clock in the morning, when Mr. Faiiley gave the alarm at Upwood, and farmers and others were soon scouring the country in all directions. Near daylight two of the farm labourers dis- covered two of the robbers asleep in a ditch about half a mile from the house, with three guns by their side and some of Mr. Faiiley's wearing apparel upon them. They were drunk, and smelt strongly of whisky. They were taken off to St. Ives lock-up house for examination. It is hoped that the whole of the robbers will soon be in custody. The missing articles are two watches, silver plate, consisting of table, dessert, and teaspoons, &c., marked T. F., and nearly E4 in cash. The windows and doors of the house dVe a complete wreck, and the plaster on the walls riddled with shot and bullets.

INFANTINE COURAGE AND GENEROSITY.—Two bulls of equal bravery, although by no means equally matched in size and strength, happening to meet near the front of a Laird's house in the highlands of Scotland, began a fierce battle, the noise of which soon drew to one of the windows the Lady of the mansion. To her infinite terror she beheld her only son, a boy between five and six years of age, be- labouring with a stiff cudgel the stouter of the belligerents. "Dougald, Dougald what are you about?" exclaimed the affrighted mother.—"Helping the little bull," was the gallant reply.
I MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.
I MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. The office of Vice-Chancellor of the County Palatine of Lancaster, which has recently been vacated by the Solicitor- General, has been conferred by the Chancellor of the Duchy on Richard Bethel, Esq., Q.C. The axle of a truck in a goods train of between 30 and 40 waggons broke on Wednesday morning, on the Midland line, between Chesterfield and Staveley, and a tremendous wreck occurred of trucks and goods. The line was blocked between five and six hours, but no other accident happened. It has been communnicated to the Galway Harbour Board that the citizens of New York are prepared to embark £ 100,000 and four vessels in establishing a packet communi- cation with Galway, if the Irish side of the Atlantic will also do the like. The marriage of his Grace the Duke of Marlborough with Miss Jane Frances Clinton Stewart, youngest daughter of the Hon. Edward and Lady Katherine Stewart, and niece of the Earl of Wemyss, was celebrated by special license at Blenheim Palace, last week. The ceremony was conducted in a very private manner. At St. Peter's Church, Eaton-square, on Tuesday, Lord Ojsmo George Russell, son of the late, and half-brother of the present Duke of Bedford, was married to Annie, youngest daughter of the late John George Norhury, Esq. Birmingham quarter session was suddenly adjourned on Tuesday pending the consideration of objections which were taken to the constitution of the grand jury—first, that one of them was a town-councillor; second, that their number was '24 instead of 23. The deputation for ecclesiastical affairs in Hesse-Cassel has ordered the following edict to be proclaimed from the pulpits of all the churches in the country — Whosoever is to take upon himself the charge of a godfather (or godmother) has previously to undergo an examination by his confessor or the clergyman of his parish, and to produce a certificate proving his Christian sentiments." The man Hamilton, who was admitted as Queen's evi- dence in the Friinley murder case, is enjoying the sea breezes, under the surveillance of the Brighton police. It is said he is waiting for a free passage to Australia, which has been promised him. The privilege of selling newspapers and books at the rail- way stations belonging to the South Western Railway Com- pany, has been leased to Messrs. Smith and Son, the news- agents of the Strand, for E 1,()00 year. The Dublin World says that Conciliation Hall has been purchased by a Manchester firm who purpose erecting on its site, a Leviathan Gin-Palace, on a magnificent scale! The building is thus still fated to accomplish mischief. It is said that Lord Lansdowne and Sir George Grev are about to retire from the Ministry, the latter by the advice of his medical man. Lord Howden has succeeded in procuring the suppression, irom me nrst 01 0 anuary next, or a most vexatious and oppressive impost that has been levied for many years at the lines of Gibraltar, on all provisions going to the rock; and which pressed most grievously on the poorer classes. The public will be glad to learn that the Rev. R. Whiston, master of the Cathedral Grammar-school of Rochester, has, notwithstanding his gratius delictum against tiie dean and chapter of that church, been elected a Senior Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. The Count de Thornar has left England for Brussels. It is stated to be the count's intention to proceed to Portugal as soon as the Cortes meets. The Hants Independent says of the Times — Itcould not put down the New Poor-law it could not destroy the Anti- Corn-law League; it could not write the Crystal Palace out of Hyde-park; it ("mlù not write Lord Palmerston out of office and as sure as English ncn hate calumny, and love freedom, it will be equally impotent in its lying at-tc:no:s to blacken and traduce the character of the illustrious orator and statesman, Louis Kossuth." By a decision of the revising barrister for Finsburv, the whole of the eighty brethren of the Charterhouse Foundation have been invested with the parliamentary franchise, as £ 10 householders. A dreadful murder has just been perpetrated at Cruder., near Peterhead, Scotland. A drunlven fellow went to a cottage, mistaking it for a public-house, and the door not being opened to him as quickly as he wished, he struck a fatal blow to the person who at last came down to give him admittance. At a meeting of the Town Council of Manchester, held at the Town II all. there was a matter of gnve complaint against a member of the council (a pork butcher) who had been guilty of great indecorum in rushing up to the Countess of and shaking hands with her when the royal party were enter- ing the Exchange, under the impression that it was the Queen he was warmly greeting. The event has caused no little pri- vate scandal at the expense of the corporate body. It is said that the same councillor also caught hold of the Duke of Wellington's hand in the same way. A grand masonic banquet was given at Portsmouth on Tuesday evening, at the Queen's Rooms, to Lieut.-General Sir Charles James Napier, G.C.B., by the brethren of the three lodges of that town—viz., the Phoenix. 319; Itoval Sussex, 423; and Portsmouth, 717. The chair was occupied by Lord George Lennox, P.M., and there were 110 brethren present. Previous to the banquet a lodge was opened, when Sir Charles Napier was introduced to the brethren present, and an address was presented to him, to which Sir Charles returned an appropriate reply. A very important measure is to be brought before Parlia- ment next session, having for its object the erection into municipal boroughs of the city of Westminster, of Lambeth, Marylebone, Greenwich, Southwark, Finsbury, and the Tower Hamlets to form Chelsea and Kensington into a separate borough and also to apply for an act to remodel the worn- out Corporation of Westminster, under the Dean and Chap- ter and High Bailiff. These eight boroughs will be each divided into Conncil and Aldermen. They will possess a separate and independent action as regards their respective local interests, and will furnish a means of equalising the pressure of poor-rates. It is also intended to procure a general act of incorporation to consolidate the metropolitan boroughs under one common president and council, to be elected by and from the common councillors. This body, in its turn, will furnish executive committees, charged with the administration of the water-supply, sewerage, &c., of the entire metropolis which, for the purposes of this act, will be deemed to include all the population within a radius of ten miles from the Post-office. The plan has received the sanc- tion of a number of members of Parliament and other influ- ential parties. — Standard. The Lord Chief Justice of England is now at Rome, and on the 7th inst. had an audience of his Holiness the Pope at the Vatican. A preacher, who rambled in his sermons, when requested to stick to his text, replied, '? that scattering shot would hit the most birds." Barclay and Perkins pay the Income Tax Commissioners E3,000 a year, which estimates the great brewers' profits at £200,000 a year. The farmers of the Isle of Man arc making large importa- tions of sheep. Letters from Hanover speak of the serious indisposition of his Majesty the King, and express great apprehension as to the result. The Duke of Cambridge had been summoned to visit his royal uncle. Keturah Levy, aged 44, a respectable and intelligent Jewess, wife of Mr. Abraham Levy, who is now an interpre- ter at Antioch, was publicly baptised a few days since in the Wesleyan Chapel, Stafford-street, Sunderland, when she was presented with a handsome copy of the bible. One of the most valuable pieces of machinery lately on view at the Crystal Palace-a machine for dressing cotton, for which a prize had been awarded-was reduced to fragments on Saturday, by being thrown from a waggon in Wellington- street, Strand, in consequence of the stumbling of the lead- ing horse. The late gold-dust robbery on the South Western Railway is likely to give rise to an action in one of the law courts; some portion of the gold dust which was stolen, and which was never recovered, was consigned to Messrs. Rothschild, and they demand its value of the Royal West India Mail Steam Packet Company. The latter have resolved to resist the demand, in order that their liability may be tested in a court of law. The issue of this dispute will be a matter of serious moment to the mercantile world, and particularly to steam navigation companies, and will be looked forward to with great interest.

CLAIRVOYANCE. The London Correspondent of the GI(jucester Jotti-nal, says:-A lady 11 clairvoyante" is just now creating a sensation at Hungerford Hall. It is really astonishing to find persons who acknowledged themselves puzzled at the "second sight" petformances of Madame Robin, suddenly believing in clairvoyance, because a younjj woman, apparently in a state of "coma," informs them "bat they have got in their pockets! I never shall understand why people who can take a bird's-eye view of the interior of stomachs and waistcoat pockets, while in a state of sleep, go through the trouble and bother of appearing before a public audience, when they could so comfortably make fortunes. If I were blessed with the power, I should get hold of Mr. Glyn, look into him, and find out what the North-Western dividend would be. AN UNLUCKY SHERIFF.—The high sheriff of a city in the south of Ireland was accused the week before last in the Crystal Palace, to his great amazement, of picking pockets, and upon this transferred to the care of the police. The worthy gentleman repudiated the charge with horror and indignation nevertheless a purse of eighteen sovereigns was found in his pocket, which he avowed did not belong to him. The protestations and assurances of the high sheriff, who gave his address, set the local authorities upon the alert, and after a sharp scrutiny of the visitors, the detec- tives recognized a noted member of the swell mob, who, it appears, a few minutes before had relieved a visitor of the identical purse, which was instantaneously missed, and the scoundrel fearing exposure conveyed the purse with singular dexterity to the pocket of the Irish high sheriff, who was in his vicinity, and as quickly disappeared in the crowd. Ex- planations and apologies followed quite satisfactory, and the innocent gentleman was restored to the society of his sister and her daughter, whom he accompanied from Ireland to see the wonders of the Exhibition.-Limerick Chronicle. A FEW WORDS ON WINES.—When you see wine ad- vertised as "an excellent wine to lay down," be sure it is not worth picking up. When you read of a wine that i, described as 11 full of body," you may conclude that it is half spirit. When you hear of a wine being parlicularl racy," you may set it down as sloe. When you are asked to purchase a fine old sherry with a nutty flavour, the notion of the nut may be suggest the idea of what is com monly termed a cracker. When you read of a wine with much beeswing, you may fairly say' buz ?"— Punch. AN APPROPRIATE COMPLIMENT.—The Mayor of Leeds (George Goodman, Esq.,) gave an entertainment to the re- presentatives of the Leeds press, and a number of other gentlemen, last week. Afternoon employment wanted-by a gentleman, who, in consequence of the closing of the Great Exhibition, doesn't know what on earth to do with himself. Address, A. Loun- ger, Esq., Fop's-ftlley.—Tunch.

THE NATIONAL FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY, This so- ciety is extending its operations in the southern counties. It has made another valuable purchase, consisting of an estate at Chichester, within three quarters of a mile south- east of the city walls, on the Bangor road. The estate is already laid out in a picturesque manner, and is intersected by a good road running from east to west, called W ickham- road. SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.—Considerable interest having been excited on the subject of this experiment, we have much satisfaction in statins( that, all difficulties of an official nature having been obviated, there is every reason to believe that the communication between the two countries will very shortly be in operation. Some gentlemen present at tLe Bureau des Telegraphes in Paris on Thursday morning (October 23), in company with M. Foy, the director-in-chief, the other gentlemen connected with the undertaking in question, requested that a message might be sent to the South Foreland Lighthouse, near Dover, to inquire if Mr. C- was still waiting there; and the answer,—" that Mr. was on his way to London" reached them in Ie:r? than one minute and' a half after the message had been despatched from Paris. A NEW CATHEDRAL FOR MANCHESTER.—The Rev. R Parkinson, canon of Manchester, and principal of St. Bees College, Cumberland, has proposed, in order that the visit of her Majesty may be "commemorated by something more per- manent than the passing display of the hour—something which shall contribute at once to the glory of God and the welfare of man," that an effort be made to convert the noble collegiate church into a still more noble cathedral. The rev. canon calcula'es that E50,000 will be required for the purpose, and he offers to give £ 1,000 if the remainder can be raised within a year. BARRISTERS AND ATTORNEYS.—The Attorneys of the Metropolis have held an important meecting, to which we can only briefly refer, on the subject of their professional differences with the members of the Bar. Mr. Clarke ex- pressed himself in a sensible and judicious manner, on the question at issue. The public are interested in the mainte- nance of the Bar, as a distinct branch of the profession, on many grounds if it can be done without taxing the suitors The majority of the Attorneys must have the same interest; and if it can be accomplished, on the plan suggested by Mr. Clarke-which, of course, is practicable, if both parties will exercise a little common sense—we think that such an ar- rangement would be effected as would save the Common-law Bar from annihilation, and wou'd secure to the public, and the nrofession Keneratty, the advantage of that division of employments which is found so useful to every department of human life. But this can only be done by the Barristers coming down in their pretensions, like other people, and contenting themselves "ith small fees, in proportion to the nature of the case, and as United by the Act of P.%rliai-i-DI, without adding anything to the present costs allowed to be taken in tlte County Court. They will then receive as much as Sir Matthew Hale did, in the majority of the cases en- trusted to him at the commencement of his career, and quite as much as the suitors can afford to pay.- Weekly News. NOTE OF LORD PALMERSTON TO THE NEAPOLITAN MINISTER IN Lo DO. The Independance of Brussels pubii.-iies the following note, as addressed by Lord Palmerston to Prince Castelcicala, the Neapolitan sniiii ter in London :—I have had the honour to receive your letter of the 9th, accompanied by a pamphlet intituled The Neapolitan Government and Mr. Gladstone," and copies of which you beg me to forward to the royal ambassadors at the different courts of Europe. I beg to reply that I cannot accede to your request, not wishing to assist in disseminating a publication which, in my opit.ion. neither does honour to its author nor to the government which it seeks to defend, nor to the political party of which he makes himself the champion. I feel myself compelled to declare that the letters of Mr. Gladstone to Lord Aberdeen present the sad picture of a system of illegality, injustice, and cruelty, such as no one could believe could have been practised in our day in a European country. The information which I have obtained from different sources has led me to the conclusion that the English writer has in no way exagaerated the eviis which he depicts. On the contrary, the author appears to have for object to call public attention to abuses which, if they were to continue, would necessarily overthrow the foundation of the Neapolitan government, and would open the road to those violent explosions which, sooner or later, burst forth when injustice is prolonged and aearavated. The Neapolitan government besides deceives itself if it thinks that a tissue of unfounded assertions and hazarded contradictions, minsjled with gross attacks on political parties, will render it any real service, and assist in obtaining the object it pursues. In conclusion, I will remark that, in the publication of M'Far- lane, are contained direct and indirect avowals which, contrary to his intention, confirm rather than destroy this conviction. (Signed) PALMERSTON. EXECUTION AT GLASGOW.—On Friday moraine our city was afflicted with one of those sickening spectacles which take place from time to tinie-a public execution. The crime for which the unhappy man, Archibald Hare, suffered death, was the murder, by stahbmg in the main street of Blantyre, on the night of the lGth of August last, of Ronald ;\l'Gr('or-npparentl}" from drunken frenzy or bravado. Thursday was the day originally fixed for the execution, but the fact of that day being the Sacramental Fast having b.'rr, represented to Sir George Grey, a brief respite was grauteu. Although not a doubt existed on the nlilld of any one as to the guilt of Hare, he continued to protest his innocence lie was twenty-five years of age, short, and strong built, and his manner throughout the period of his imprisonment was wonderfully courageous. During the night of Thursday the approaching execution produced the usual excitement amongst the lowest classes of the community, and small groups of men and women were prowling about in front of of the gaol before twelve o'clock, and previous to the awful ceremony the multitude had increased to about 10,000. A little past eight o'clock, the wretched culprit ascended the scaffold, and on taking his place on the drop faced the multitude with great firmness. Having signified to the chaplain that he was going to address the people, the Rev. Mr. Smith retired a few steps behind, and Hare, raisine his voice to its utmost pitch, in order to be heard by the crowd, spoke nearly as follows: Fellow-men,—I am going to die for a crime of which I am innocent, but I pray God to forgive all those who have persecuted me. All of you beware of dram drinking, and beware of Matthew Miller, and take warning by me this day to keep out of bad company and to put your confidence in the Lord, for He will never leave you. He has given me grace this day, and I care no more for death than any person going to bis bed this night, for I have found favour with Christ Jesus our Lord." The rope was then adjusted by the executioner, and the cap having been drawn over his head, a white handkerchief, as a signal, was put into his hand after which the Rev. Mr. Smith engaged in prayer, in which the culprit appeared earnestly to join. After the lapse of a few seconds the handkerchief dropped out of his hand, and the executioner instantaneously withdrawing the bolt, the drop fell with a crash, and the wretched man, after a severe and protracted struggle, ceased to be of this world. When thrown off, a low suppressed cry was heard from the immense multitude, but no further manifestation of feeling was exhibited. DESTRUCTIVE FIRES AT MANCHESTER.—A fire broke out on Saturday evening, about half-past seven o'clock, in the works of Mrs. Scholefield, dyer, &c., of Cornbrook, Hulme, and did damage to the extent of between £2,000 and E3,000 before it was extinct. The violence of the destructive element was confined mainly to the portion of the works in which it was first seen, occupied as a store—a part of dyers' premises which is usually, as in this instance, totally destroyed when once ignited, from the dry and com- bustible character of the materials it contains. The fire burnt very fiercely at first, but the great exertions made by a body of the 16th Lancers, who went with a small engine from their barracks near at hand, kept it within check until the larger force of the town engines arrived, and opened play upon the burning buildings. The conjoint efforts of the fire brigade and the military soon reduced the limits of ex- tension, and in a comparatively short space of time the dames were got under. One large building was en- tirely destroyed, and two others were injured. The loss amounting, as we have said, to between E2,000 and E3,000, is covered by insurances in the West of England office. The origin of the fire is unknown.—On Sunday morning, about half-past nine o'clock, a fire was discovered on the premises of Messrs. Wren and Hopkinson, machine makers and millwrights of Altrincham-street, and informa- tion having been conveyed to the police-yard, Mr.Rose started off with an engine and a body of men, the rest of the brigade just come from the other fire, and their engines following. They found a three-story building, used as a pattern rouiu in flames, and busning with much fury, from the dr) tiess of the property stored in it. These engines were got into play, and four jets from high pressure mains, and the torrents noured by them in to the building at different points proved very effectual in quenching what had ignited, and saving what appeared to be likely to catch. The building in which the fire broke out was completely destroyed, with its contents —valuable patterns of machinery, which had been accumulat- ed during a business of thirty years. The damage altogether will be from E3,000 to £4,000. The owners are insured in the Atlas, Sun, and Legal and Commercial offices, to the amount of L2,300, and the firm will be considerable losers. The origin of the fire is not ascertained the workmen were on the premises until about midnight on Saturday finishing some work, but not in the pattern rooms, and the porter left all right when he locked up after them. A LITERARY GOURMAND.—We know a man who inva- riably reads while eating his dinner. The table is never set unless a book is placed beside his plate. When he leaves the house in the morning, he tells his wife to have Tennyson and tomatoes for dinner, or Shakspere and smothered chickens Bacon and pork and greens Burton and buttered beans Carlysle and calf's head the Edin- burglt Review and pigs' trotters Macaulay and syllabub," &e. He is so ardent an admirer of Rylstone Doe," that he can't eat venison without a copy of Wordsworth in his band.-Kentucky Rifle. A REMARKABLE CASE OF SCROFULA CURED BY HOLLO. WAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.-Tiie son of Mr. Alliday, 209, High-street, Cheltenham, when three years old, was afflicted with scrofula in the neck, and the disease increased so fearfully, that in four years he had ten ulcers on his body, besides a tumour between tne eyes. The best medical treat- ment afforded him no relief, the blood being so corrupt that it was considered impossible to subdue the disease. At this crisis Holloway's Pills and Ointment were resorted to, and with great success, for in two months the boy was soundly cured by their use, and he has continued well for the last three years. OFFICIAL CHANGES.—At this time of the year there is usually so strong an expectation of a chance in the Ministry, that something is absolutely necessary in order to prevent a dangerous degree of disappointment. It is not, indeed, in our power to announce an extensive reconstruction of the Cabinet, nr, indeed, any alteration iu the Cabinet at &11, besides the two additional members of whom our readers are already informed; but, as we are informed by a ministerial organ, a change of not less importance has taken place in the second rank of the public service. The Right Hun. Lawrence Sallivan, after serving his country with credit for more than 40 years, Ins retired with a pension from the place of Deputy Secretary at War, and into that peaceful haven has retired, from the storms of the Colonial Office, that most excellent and amiable gentleman, Mr. Benjamin Ilawes. We are quite sure that the public in ge-erai, whatever their opinions, and whether they have colonial property or not, will rejoice to hear that a man of such exemplary good temper, so strong a sense of duty, and such unwearied diligence, has effected his escape out of Purga- tory, rather sooner perhaps than any member of the Colonial Office had a right to expect. In his present position he will be able to effect important administrative reforms without raising the ghosts of a Canadian dynasty, with- out bringing down on the unfortunate colonist the vengeance of Ileki or Sandilli, without throwing a tropic. Legibiature into a permanent slate of revolt, or meet- ing in every street the haggard and tbrtaabare victims  Ir. Ha%ve, has )iir kiearti,,t of inconsistent, philanthropy. Hawes has our heartiest congratulation on hi. escape from the comtnned operr;ioi. of 50 plagues-for that is somewhere about the nuni,r of our colonies-each of them sufficient to rob any tuan for ever of sleep. Mr. Hawes* successor in the Colonial Offke is Mr. Frederick Peel, who thus enters office much a" his father did before him, with snme little difference to be smoothed over between himself and his eol!Cl>es. T t difference in this instance is one more of associatio" thllll feeling or opinion. No point can be mentioned, thai wo are aware of. in which Mr. F. Peel, inheriting, as we suppose him to do the political views of his lath- r in 'heir latest stage of development, is not perfectly at accord with her Majesty's present ad visers. The memory (ir t,,ie parent Will impart to this change the apprara-.ee of a coalition; pud it there be a I)cei party, and Mr. I*. Peel is 3t its h' ad. a coalition of some of some sort undoubtedly there is: c .t it is a coalition which rather sets the spa1 nil the past than throws any light on the future. In following his rough- shod rider in the Colonial Office, Mr. Frederick Peel will have little spare streng'h or time to revert to the great questions that divide parry from party. As the only chance permitted to the unfortunate colonies, and the only bit of new blood introduced into a government woich had done nothing hitherto but breed in and in, we beg to tender Mr. Frederick Peel our very best wishes, praying in particular, that he may be more successful than 11U predecessors for the last 50 yea rs.- Times. THE LTTF WEEDON AFFAIR. The United Service Gazette pives the following particulars of this unfortunate affair:—The decree has gone forth. Captain De Robeck, Lieutenant Ramsbottom, and Lieutenant Cory ton, of the 4th King's Own, have been dismissed the service. Lieutenant Jasper Hall has received a reprimand. Captain Kennedy and Lieutenant Cox, after a vexatiously prolonged arrest, in Iili- face of justice and law, have beeu leleased. It was ex- pected that a general order would have been issued in re- ference to this almost unexampled court-mar'ial. and :1 broadly rumoured that the Commander-in-chief (from whom il is often difficult to get even a signature) had prepaieu one with his own hand. But this expectation has been dis- appointed. The decision and the Duke's sentiments have been conveyed in a letter to Lord Cathcart, commanding the Northern and Midland districts, to whom has been left the painful office of communicating with the regiment. Although no doubt the court mariial lias dealt with the caie in a righteous spirit, it is impossible to contemplate the dismissal of three oiffcers of family and consideration without aewe regret, the more especially as so much of the alloyed mis- conduct appears to have been the offspring of laxity in higher places. We have not heard whether the anim¡,i- veisions of the Commander-in-Chitf extend to the hct-l of the regiment; but we must say that we never vet lie. a of a cise of extensive insubordination in a corps which did not compromise the commandant's character for tirmnesa aud self-respect. Lieutenant-Colonel Gold best knows whe- ther he has diligently endeavoured to uphold discipline, or whether he has allowed of liberties which have grown iuto a practice, too intoleraole for endurance, To his own sense cf dignity must likewise be left the consideration of the proprilt)- of continuing at the head of a regi nrnt in which he must feel he has created a most unpleasant sensa- tion. Our own sentiments on the subject may not be of much consequence, or we would certainly advise a with- drawal from a position which it can neither t>e com^t 1,-e with the interests of the army nor the comf iit ot Ij-< a ■ Colonel Gold that that officer should persevere in occupying. In answer to numerous inquiries respecting the publication of the proceedings, we beg to say, that the evidence appears to have been so voluminous and contradictory, that, with reference to our limited space and the reputation of som* of the witnesses, we have determined- wtrt to give it i. ner i >< ATTEMPTED BURGLARY—COI-RAGK OF AV O.,D W.)- MAN.—At the Surrey Sessions, two young men named re- spectively Collier and Tovoy, were indicted for attemp ing to break into the dwelling-house of an old woman n;nii d Wiilis, 72 years of age, who lives alone in a cottage near the Adiilestone Railway. Or; the night tne "JO'h uii., >1, Willis heard some g bieak, and nn strikm;? getting out of bed, saw the faces of men.

She put a piece of iron against the door, and then saw that part of the shutter had been cut through with a knife. She instantly seized up a candlestick and pushed against the knife, to prevent the Wade coming any further. With one hand she held the candlestick, and the other the shutter She told them to remember the Frimley murder." They again demanded a sovereign, a half sovereign, or a half crown, when she told them she had none. But she recollected afterwards that she had a shilling, and offered to give them that if they would go away She told them to go round, and when they got there she threw out the shilling and some bread and cheese. She was positive she knew Collier, as be lived with his parents in the next cottage to her. She said to him, You bad boy, Tom, go away but both of them said, No, we shan't: we will have more." She then got an old dagger, but was afraid to handle such a deadly weapon, still she threatened them with it, and they went away." It seems that all this time one of the Surrey police had hidden himself in an outhouse, and saw everything that passed. When they saw him they took to their heels he first captured Tovey, whom he took to Collier's house, and while standing there Collier came home, and they were both taken to the police station. The prisoners were found Guilty. A former conviction having been proved against Tovey, the Court sentenced him to 10 years' transportation, and the other prisoner was sentenced to 12 months' hard labour in the House of Correction. The Chairman told them that had it not been for the courageous conduct of the old lady, they would have entered her house, and might have succeeding in committing a crime similar to that in another part of that county, for which two men suffered so recently. CALIFORNIA GOLD COMPANY. Two gold companies have been formed ill London to work two valuable sections of Col. Fremont's mining land in California. The one is entitled the Aqua Tria, and the other the Ave Maria Gold Mining Company. They both possess leases from the colonel, and extremely rich specimens of qnartz rock are exhibited at the offices of each, which far surpass anything of the kind shown in London The capital required for erecting steam works in the mines for the purpose of crushing and smelting the quartz rock is small, being in one case £100,000, and in the other only £ 50,000. It is stated by the Are Maria Company that Dr. Patteson, the Director of the Mint of Philadelphia, has completed a careful analysis of a quantity of quartz rock from this district, for Colonel Fremont, and considered to be fair average specimens, by which he proved that the rock contains gold to the vaiue of 1,750 dollars per hundred weigh', or £ 7,000 per ton: and Colonel Benton estimates that a common ship's cargo of the ore would be worth at least eight millions of dollars. It lias also been found that where no gold could be perceived in the quartz, it has produced the amount (if E3,000 per ion. Immense as this amount must appear, the lessee is prepared to show that this is the lowest statement that can !,e made with truth but allowing an immense reduction, m:v to EI,000 per ton, and allowing the machinery and a nk.i- taken out to crush wnly twenty tons per day (alt'.iougi. lie? could easily crush fort; ) the returns will be the inercii.ie amount of E20,000 per diem.

The person in charge of the parcel" paid his passage money to England, and thus far was all that Captain Harem knew about the matter at the time. On getting clear off the port, however, it turned out that the sack," like many of those occasion- ally dropped in the Bosphorus, contained a living freight; and a dark-eyed boy made his appearance to claim the protection of the commander of the vessel. His only cre- dentials were an appeal to the sympathies of human nature in assisting a fellow creature in distress, and a letter of in- troduction to Messrs. M'Kean, M'Larty, and Co., of this town. It appeared that this young gentleman, and a num- ber of other precocious spirits, had formed themselves into a secret society or club, for the printing and circulation of religious and political works, among which the distribution* of the Bible, and pamphlets on the freedom of Italy, formed a prominent part. The authorities having got wind of their proceedings, several of their members were arrested and summarily shot; and to escape a similar fate our hero was embarked on board the Arno. His parents knew nothing of his connection with the affair until startled bv the appear- ance of the soldiers to demand the person of their son and for a couple of days previous to the Arno's arrival at Leg- horn, he had been removed from house to house in the suburbs of the city to escape detection.-Liverpool Stand- ard. It is a curious circumstance that blockheads are general! far better story-tellers than clever men. This, indeed, ko often holds true, that when I hear of a person being great at story-telling, I am apt to place him in the catalogue of asses. — iimnuh.
