AREAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS.--There is not, primp., in the whole Alateria Medica, any one remedy which so effectually relieves the pain of a suffering patient as th A AIERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP. Who can watch the writhing tortures into which a lovely infant is often convulsed during the period of dentition, without feeling sympathy for its sufferings? and who would hesitate to procure a remedy, when a remedy can be found, which is obvious by the effectual setter afforded in so many distressing cases which are daily coming to the notice of Mrs. JOHNSON? Therefore, Mothers ought never to be without the AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP in the Nursery ; for if a Child awakes in the night with pain, by only rubbing the gums with a few drops of the Syrup, it will immedi ately open the pores, heal the guns, and thereby prevent fevers and convulsions; for should it come in competition with any other disorder, it often destroys the mother's brightest hopes.

Extract from " Sidney Anecdotes, by Charles and Ambrose Sidney."— "On a trial at Cambridge, about 1810, in a case where there was a dispute about felling some trees for the pur pose of widening a river at an improper season of the year, when the wood was not in a fit state to be cut down, one witness ap peered so very ignorant that be could not say whether it took place on or before Lady-day, Midsummer, Michaelmas, or Christmas." The Counsel, as usual, took advantage of his Ignor ance to banter him not a little. " What a pretty fellow you are to come into a witness-box, and cannot tell which are the names of the quarter-days!" and so 00. The bumpkin scratching hip besd, said he didn't know much about what the gentleman meant, but be be lieved the trees were cut down about Hallowmaa. Ballownias !" exclaimed the Barrister, when is that ?" " Why, don't thee know that, sir?" said the witness. A general laugh ensued, in which the Judge could hardly refrain from joining, and was compelled to call the tipstaves to take any one taw custody who continued to disturb the Court. , THE A !MK 1.131 ER ICK--51 Alt CH 27. The gran.' division, band and cdeurtt, of the 56th Regiment, marched into the Castle Barracks on Thursday from Birr. "I he undermentioned officers of the Mith krgiment accompanied thr first division into our garrison on the 25th instant, under the command of Major Prichard :—Captain Norman and Liautenant Wallitvley, Light Infantry ;•Capt..in Palmer and Lieutenant Cud, Grenadier.; Sur g eon M ar kh am , an d Assistant.surgcon Bradfo rd; Paymaster Grant, Adjutant Thorne, and Quartermaster Copley. The accond division of the 56th, front Birr, marched in yester. day, under the command of 5/ajor Gun. The Pompadours were last quartered in Limerick in 1803, and in 1803 the regiment embarked at Cork for India, and returned home in 11126. The following detachments of the 66th Regiment have matched this week to out-quarters to replace the Rifles:— Captain Arthure's company to Newcastle, in this county. 4ieptain Vicars' company to Killaloe. Captain Mitchell's co:npany'to Ennistimon. • Captain ;Leighton's con pant to liathkeale, Captain Eden and Lieutenant Kenny to Bruft; Carain Hogg to Glenesheen, and Lieutenant Aylmer to Corofin. Captains Norman's, Palmer's, Higgins, and Holyoake's contpa nics stop at head-quarters in the Castle barracks. The depot of the 11th Regiment is ordered to Portsmouth, and the depot of the 88th to Languanl Fort. It is understood that the following movements arc now taking place, or will shortly take place :-- 2d Dragoon Guards, from C.ther to Erigland ; 4th ditto, from York to Klinburgh ; 6th ditto, from Canterbury to Coventry ; 6th ditto, from Dorchester to Liverpool, for Ireland; 7th ditto, front Ipswi c h to Canterbury ; 2d Dragoons, from Rallineellig to England : 3d ditto, from Sheffield to York ; 9th ditto, from Nottingham to Hounslow; 12th ditto, front Edin burgh to Ireland. The 2d Battalion Ist Foot is to return to Europe, and to he re. hewed by the 56th from the Cape. The 56th is to be replaced by the 75th from EnghruL The 14th Foot is to return to Europe from Bengal, and to be re-' lieved by the 26th from Madras. The 17th Foot, now proceeding by detachments to New South Wales, is to relieve the 57th, which is to relieve the 26th at Madras. The 62d ditto is to proceed forthwith to Madras, to relieve the 891h;which is to return to Europe. • Tuesday, the Depot of the gallant 79th, or Cameron Highlanders, passed through Wigan, under command of Major Marshall, on route to Scotland. The soldier-like appearance of the men, whilst it forms a striking contrast with that of others stationed around that district. recalls to mind the days of Wallace and Bruce. They are destined to relieve the Depot of the 42d Royal Highlands, now sta.' - timed at Paisley. Several Supernumerary Barrack Masters in Ireland arc to be re duced: EXPRESS FROM PARIS. The Gazette de France of Tuesday-, says it is not true that orders hr.ve been given to arrest General Barradas as soon as he shall have arrived in Spain. It also states that the Dauphin is to go to Toulon to be present at the embarking of the troops des tined to act against Algiers. M. Delavau, Prefect of Police in Paris under the Villele Adminis tration, is appointed First President of the Royal Court of Orleans. M. de Villele had on Sunday the honour of being received by the ging. The Aruliosul of the 29th has the following:—" It is mush. dered certain that M. de Villele will quit Paris for Toulouse to-day. Public opinion differs as to the causes that have pre vented the negotiations for his coming into the Ministry ter. Inhaling successfully : but sufficient may be found in the opposite characters of M. de Villele and Prince Polignac. Some say that Villele, without disputing with the Prince the Presidency of the Council, insisted on having, at it were, tut: portfolios in his hands—namely, that of the interior for himself, and that of the finances for M. de Montbel. Some say he declined entering the ministry upon any terms, as he felt it impossible to meet a chamber which had stigmatized his system with the epithet deplorable. This difficulty might be got rid of by a dissolution, bat the ember.. rassment of a new election am to be got over—a task which he would not undertake--leaving it to those who were mad enough to make the attempt. A new chamber being formed, he would have no objection to become the leader of it, if the office was intrusted to him. Upon one point all persons are agteed,—namely, that the ex. Minister has entirely disapproved of all that has been done since the Bth of August. M. de Peyronnet then remains the only man of capacity to be looked to by the Ali nistry as a reinforcement. But he also may stipulate for terms not easily granted, as the present Government will not be inclined to purchase his services at so high a price as they have offered to M. de Villelc, while M. de Peyronnet will probably estimate them at still more. From all this, it is to be expecte I that the present Mi nistry will remain in tl.c same majestic immovability from the 19th of March till the first of September, as they have dune from the Bth of August to the 2d of March. The Journal des Debols says—' The topic of general convey. sadon for some days has been a letter addressed to the Ring by 20 Deputies or the droite, in which, after assuring his 'Majesty of their immovable resolution to vote in favour of a Ministry honoured with his Royal confidence, they state that still they feel it a duty imperative upon them to declare that the present Cabinet does not appear to them, under actual circumstances, to be composed of men of su ffi cient abilities.' It was last night currently reported that M. Bacot de Romans, Director-General of the Inditect Taxes, has been superseded by M. de (:tiny ; and M. d. Renneville, formerly private secretary of M. de Villele, will succeed Al. de Cursy in the Prefecture of the Gi ronde. It it said M. de Beaumont, Prefect of I)oubs, has been dis missed, and M. de Wathen appointed in his stead.—Jourstul des Debate. The Qugaidiones says, the report that the Swiss regiment Bku. ler has refused to march against Algiers is false. On the contrary, all the Swiss regiments in the French service have expressed a strong desire to fonn a part of the expedition ; but as, according to the capitulation, the Swiss troops cannot be sent out of Continental Europe, the French Government, in compliance with the treaties, and notwithstanding the dechirittico of the Canton of Berne that it consents to remove that difficulty, have thought proper not to em. ploy any of the Swiss till the article of the capitulation shall have been modified or eanralkd. CONSTANTINOPLE, FEs 26. Thepayment of the second instalment of the indemnity to Rus sian merchants has been made by the Porte, which has obtained a deduction of several hundred thousand piastres. This indulgence is ascribed to the efforts of Bali! Puha, Turkish Ambassador at Petersburgh, and to the punctuality with which the Sultan fulfil; all his engagements. Preparations are observable in the Russiali army for withdrawing behind the Balkan; a good understanding between , the Russian and Turkish authorities prevails, and the Russian Am- bassadon are treated with the greatest respect at Constantinople.— Count Orloff frequently transacts business at the Palace, whilst M. de Ribeaupierre, with his culleagues the French and British Am bassadors,.are engaged in settling t he affairs of Oreece. Accounts from the provinces are satisfactory. The intercourse between Con stantinople and Alexandria is active, and Maimed Ali has gained in favour with the Sultan. He takes no share in the expedition *Out Algiers, which is disagreeable to the Porte : in the mean time, he organises his army endplates his navy on a respectable footing.

The match, of which we gave only the remit yesterday, provrd highly attractive, the attendance bon.; es.c.ssiing numerous and fashionable. At the same time that it aas any thing but turceisfae. tory to the spectators, it was entirely conclusive of the merit,* of the horses ; for nothing could !nave beet more complete titan the defeat sustained by Messrs. Wombwell and Augentein. The ground was kept a secret till the morning of the rate, when it was declared to be from a grass-field of Mr. Wood's, at (Steyr-street, to a wird. mill on Basker.heath, near the 13th mile-store on the Edgeware. road, the distance nearly the inihs, Ott grout d grassy, but heavy, and the fencing tolerably stiff, wi hot b.ing extria , rdinary. betting was 8 to 4 agat VS'order; 2 to I art Mr. Wombwell'. Rock ingham ; and 3to 1 agat Toler. Captain Al-Douai' went off with Wonder at a smart race. leading about 200 yards ; Blr A. Berkeley, on Rockingham, and Mr. Codrington, on Tatler, followed in the same track, and seemed inclined to keep so throughout. It ap peared to us that the pliant captain's tonic threatened to he more out of the direct line than was warranted by the =tides, but he saved himself just in time. Probably Wonder was frightened out of his course by a red flag which auddsnly presented itself in a tree, right in the line for the windmill, and which, of course. got there by accident. It would be absurd to attcniFt any further description; for Wonder had it all his own way. wrfortned his lops in a par. ticularly neat and workmanlike manner, ant" won in a common can ter. His last leap was near the finish, over a Pr artish fence, and was effected without a blunder. Captain Al'Douall's riding was admirable ; nothing could be more cool or sportsmanlike. and at the same time it was not wanting in courage. (It the riding of the other gentlemen we really are incompetent to express an opinion, for, looking to the leading hope, we never saw any thing of them after the opening. Colonel Standen (the umpire) and Lord Clanricarde kept up well with the winner, and woull perhaps have pugged him if thee had been in the match—they rode with singular intrepidity. Wonder is a particularly clever little hone, and would put some of the Mahon nags upon their met tle. Tatler is the same hone that was so great a favourite for the Derby two or three yews ago, and was pr e vent e d s t art i ng b y break ing down on his way so Epsom s he went about two miles of the gemend, broke down, aril-fell in the middle ea field near the Re- Knelt; neithee bin for Itoethigham going to Me Windmill—the latter certainly ilia the best of Tatter. The stakes was 100 guineas each, and the weight 12st.; the distance was performed by Captau. .31-Douall in about seventeen minutes. Prince Esterhasy was among I the spectators, and appearal glatified with the scene. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. MOST DISTRESSING CASE OF ATTEMPTED SI:ICI:Ir..— Yesterday John WI son, fifty years of age, was chareted beGt: Alderman WOOD with having attempted to drown hinisett at Black friars-bridge at halfpast three o'clock that morning. The prisoner was fortunately ebstreed by a watchman on duty before be had thrown himself in, and on expressing his determination to commit suicide was removed to the conipier.The prisoner,whis appeared much distreas.d, sad he had kept a coal and potatoe shed in Harrow. street, blint-street, Borough, where he resided a considerable time. At four o'clock in the morning of Feb. 13, he was alarmed by a noise in his shop, and having got out of bed to ascertain the cause was attacked by two ruffians who had effected an entrance. Ile 'wired one of them, when pre!sently he received a stab in the thigh I with a sharp instrument. Notwithstanding the blood flowed pro. fusely he struggled with the villain until the second joined hint in the attack, when the prisoner received a second stab it: the arm, was knocked down, and overpowered. lie lay some tim e in a state o f i n . sensibility, during which time the villains escaped, carrying off 1L sous. and lfls. all he possessed in the world. In consequence of this loss, and not being able to prevail upon his coal.merchant to give him credit, he and his family (consisting of five children, and his wife, who at present lies dangerously ill) were reduced to the utmost distress, which preyed upon his mind, and drove him in a Moment of despondency to attempt self destruction. In his packet were found several bills, and also two letters, the one addressed to the Rev. Mr. Smith, who be said was his cousin. In this letter the unfortunate man earnestly besought Mr. Smith to look to his wife and children. The second letter, directed to a person named Perrington, contained a similar request.—The Alderman inclosed the two letters to the gentlemen to whom they were addressed, and I said he would be moat happ to subscribe to a sum sufficient u' purchase two and a half of coals to set the poor man u p again.--He was remanded. BOW-STREET. DANGEROUS NUlSANClE.—Yesterday a gentleman, who stated himself to be managing clerk to Mr. Martin, a solicitor, in Fitzroy. square, applied to Mr. MINSHULL, the sitting magistrate, to so licit his interference to put a stop to a very dangerous nuisance. which had existed for some time past in the neighbourhood of Primrose-bill, and by which the personal safety and even the lives of his majesty's subjects were corutantly in jeopardy. The applicant stated that the gentleman on whose behalf he attended occupied a cot. 'age near Primrose-hill ; and the nuisance of which he complaimil consisted in the daily assemblage of parties of pigeon -shooters, who carried on their sports with so little regard to the safety of other persons, that the complainant had been wounded with small iltot while standing at his own door, and another respectable indi vidual had actually been deprived of an eye in the same manner. Alr. Alssrsuuca. :—This is a dangerous nuisance, indeed, and shall be happy to render the best assistance I can to stop it, but would not the readiest mode be to indict the offending parties ? The applicant said there would be great difficulty in identifying the party actually inflicting a wound, and h e t h oug h t t h at t h e most eec . rain mode of checking the evil would be by prompt magisterial in. terference, in the way of prevention for the future. The nuisance had increased to such an extent, that the residents in the neighbour. hood were absolutely afraid to stir beyond their thresholds, or even to look out at their doors or windows..-31r. BIINSHULI. said he would give all the aid he could, but one of the parties actually ag. grieved must come forward and lodge an information on oath, be. fore any process could be issued.—The applicant said this should be done ; and, having thanked the worthy magistrate fur his atten. tion, withdrew. Yesterday morning Catherine Morton, a masculine wench, was brought before Mr. Minimum. charged with having smashed fi ve panes of glass in the window of t he Ship public-house James.street, Covent-garden. Air. 31illai the landlord, stated tha t the defendant was a most intolerable pest, and since the days of lady Barrymore. DO female committed so much wanton damage on the property and persons of publicans. She that morning called at his house and he served her with a glass of gin; but after she had drank it, she refused to pay, for it, observing, that without money it was ridiculous to expect that she could do so. Knowing the violence of her din. position, he tdd her she might depart in peace; b'tt instead of availing herself of his kindness, she wound her apron round her band, and commenced smashing the winnows right and left.. Mr. Mixsauts said he supposed the reason of her wrapping her hand in her apron, was to avoid being c ut . M r . Mill s re pli e d i n I the aifirouttive, and added, that before he could procure the assist ance of the police, she had demolished no fewer than five panes of , glass. Mr. 311/15NULL asked her if she meant to pay for the da wage ?—Pay, indeed; Sir, sa'd Catherine, upon my word I have no notion of paying. Mr. 311xsitunL—Then you must go to prison for six weeks. Oh ! with all my heart, said Catherine, seizing Mc. Mills by the hair of the head, and dragging him about in front of the bench. Take that—take that, she exclaimed, as she struck him with her clenched fist in the face, and when I come out, instead of live panes, 11l smash every window in your house. 111 r. hint suu ta. then, in addition to committing her for tie weeks, ordered that she should not be discharged without baring first given bail for the assault. 3lr. Jlills expressed his determination to pro. acute her. 3IABLBOROUG 11. STREET. Ellen 466er1s, a young woman of respectable app &ranee. was yesterday placed at the bar, before J. E.
