" Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief trom pain. During one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. 1 in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruthtting torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since which I have had no return of the complaint. " I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know how to obtain a remedy fin' this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, " MICHAEL NASMYTH." The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the head and face, and all analogous complaints. The never-tailing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to theist a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but re store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence. Sold by Thomas Front, 229, Strand, London, and, by his appoint ment, by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un cornprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, awl broken health, a*e ine iw,.t umarances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only dement.

The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Campbell, Earl Fitzwilliam, and Lord Churchill. WILSON V. WILSON.—JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave the judgment of' their Lordships to-day in this important appeal, which was heard during the course of the last session. The cir cumstances of the case out of which the appeal arose, are but too well known we are afraid to the public. The facts may excite regret, but the lesson to all marrying perties, especially those in affluent circumstances is not wholly destitute of instruction:—The appellant is a man of property and rank, a barrister, and of considerable professional attainments. He has an estate in Somerset shire. The respondents are, first, Mary, his wife, and next her trustees. She was the adopted daughter of Sir Henry Wilson's brother, and finally came into a large estate by bequest of the well-known favourite of fortune Sir Henry Wright Wilson and his wife Lady Wilson, of Chelsea, by whom she had been brought up from in fancy, with large expectations from their bounty, each having separate property. Under these propitious cir cumstances these persons became engaged. Settlements were drawn up, approved, and they married in April, 1839, when Mrs. Wilson was entitled to 2,0001. a year in her own right, by the will of Lady Wilson, out of an estate called Drayton Lodge, in the county of South ampton, and by the will of Sir Henry Wright Wilson to estates in Yorkshire and Essex. By her marriage settle ment, the Manor House at Chelsea Park was to belong to the appellant, in his marital right, together with the sum of 3,000/. Three per Cents. Annuities. The husband covenanted, in case of children, to raise a provision of 10,0001., should there be but one, or 5,000/. should there be more, out of his estate at Compton Martin, Somerset. Their union produced, however, no happiness, and their wealth plunged them into Chancery. In consequence of the appellant having a natural son born before this marriage, and other less important causes, differences arose between the appel lant and his wife, and she desired to get back the pro perty to which he derived a title under the marriage settlement, and sought advice of counsel whether she could not upset the settlement, on the ground that the appellant had not uniformly used, as stipulated, the name of Wilson; or upon the ground of cruelty and adultery obtain a divorce; or through his general lia bility to pay her debts induce him to agree to a separa tion. Counsel gave her no encouragement, and she re sorted to another method of dissolving the marriage by a suit in the Consistory Court of London, wherein she was described as Mary Wright Wilson, spinster, pretended to be the wife of John W. H. Wilson, and cited him in a cause of nullity of marriage, by reason of impotency, on the Bth of May, 1843. She then left her house at Chelsea. Intimidated and alarmed by this unfounded and dis graceful charge, her husband, with a view to have it withdrawn, proposed to accept terms of separation, and finally it was agreed that he should, upon releasing all the property, be permitted to receive 1,0001. a year only. As early as August the respondents in this case filed a bill in Chancery against the appellant, on the ground that a clerical error, in omitting Mrs. Wilson's debts and liabilities then existing, had not been inserted in the se paration deed as his liabilities, and to be by him provided for, and praying a specific performance of the deed, and for consequential relief. To this Bill he put in his answer, and a series of supplemental bills and answers had followed in the succeeding years, until the Vice •Chancellor of England decided the cause, doss bills having been in the mean time filed against the trustees, Tooke and Wetherell. Evidence had been tendered to show that the appellant was net impotent, and that the marriage had been con summated, which, however, had been rejected by the Vice-Chancellor of England, who decided that there was nothing shown in the case of Mr. Wilson to prove he was intimidated and forced by duress to sign the articles of separation, or that the articles had not been specifically performed by him. The Master was ordered to settle the proper deed. The appellant was to give up possession of Chelsea Park House, on which an occupation-rent was to be fixed since June, 1843, which amount was to be charged to Mr. Wilson. An injunc tion was awarded to restrain the appellant from receiv ing rents of any estate, and from proceeding in the ecclesiastical court, until the execution of the deed. The cross bill was dismissed with costs. From this de cree the appellant appealed; the appeal was argued for some days, and their Lordships now gave judgment upon that appeal. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after going at considerable length into the circumstances of the case, stated his clear opinion, and that of theirtLordships, to be, that the judgment of the Court below was correct, and ordered it to be affirmed with costs. Judgment affirmed with costs. THE RIGHT HON. SIR T. WILDE, RNT , LORD CHIEF JUS TICE OF THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, AND HIS WIFE, FORMERLY AUGUSTA EMMA D'ESTE, V. GIBSON. from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, setting aside a purchase made by the respondent, Mr. Gibson, at a public auction, of a freehold property be longing to the wife of the appellant, called Mount Albion House, and certain lands adjoining, in Ramsgate, on the ground of fraud. The wife of the appellant is, as our readers are doubtless aware, the daughter of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, and inhe rited the property in question from her mother, the Lady Augusta Murray, who, upon her marriage with the Duke of Sussex took the title of Lady Augusta Countess D'Ameland, the plaintiff in the court below, the respondent here filed his bill for the purpose of being relieved from the purchase of a messuage and land at Ramsgate, made by him from the wife of the appellant, then Madame Augusta Emma D'Este, and completed by a conveyance and payment of the purchase money in Dec. 1838. The plaintiff in the court below, which had taken possession of the estate, put his case for relief upon the ground of the existence of a right of way over the pro perty, which he asserted to have existed at and before the time of the sale, without the knowledge of Madame Augusta Emma D'Este, the defendant in the court below, and which had been fraudulently concealed from him. Madame D'Este, by her answer to the plaintiff's bill, contended Ithat the supposed right of way had, in fact, ,as she conceived, been wholly extinguished. She denied all fraudulent conceal ment, or intent Ito do so, either on her own part or that of her agents; she insisted that the plaintiff had not been deceived or misled, and that at least one-half in breadth of the supposed way, if it existed at all, had merged in a public highway, of the existence of which the plaintiff was fully aware. The main facts of the case appeared to be as follows:—The way in question, as to the existence of which at one time and in souse form there was no doubt, is called " The Liberty Way," and it originally led from a street called King-street, towards the sea or cliff, traversing lands which belonged to the late Countess D'Ameland, the mother of Augusta Emma D'Este, the defendant in the Court below. Near its course, as far as that course could be ascertained, stood the dwelling-house, formerly owned and occupied by the Lady August's D'Ameland, and called Mount Albion House. The way originally and up to the year 1820, consisted of a mere track, passing from King-street, over what was then open and uninclosed fields, towards the edge of the sea cliffs for the use and convenience of the owners of the adjoining lauds, and used by the public, by the consent of the owners. Lady Augusta D'Ameland, that the defendant in the Court and f all through defendant in the Court below , becam e b y de g rees pos sessed; and hence it was 'eeher open lands, the below was advised that the original right of way h ad ceased. iand' O The way being a mere track across or over open fields, its course does not appear at any time to have been correctly defined; no road was ever formed, nor was there any regular beaten track or hard path, and no posts or rails or other marks by which its course was defined ever existed. In the year 1820 the Lady Augusta D'Ame land, finding the use of this way in the neighbourhood of Mount Albion House, her residence, disagreeable, and at that time not being the owner of the whole of the lands for which the way was serviceable, and under the mistaken idea that the parish had power to deal with the way, applied to the parish of St. Lawrence to allow it to be stopped, offering to lay out another line in lieu of it; and after some negotiation, and some parish meetings, a deed was finally executed, by which the Lady Augusta D'Ameland bound herself to pay a rent of five shillings (two shillings and sixpence to the parish of St. Law rence, and two shillings and sixpence to the township of Ramsgate) in consideration of her being allowed to close up that part of the way which ran past the messuage, and over the land in question, setting out however a new line in its stead. From that time until the new road was opened, that part of the way had been permanently closed up. In August, 1838, the appellant, Lady Wilde, then Mademoiselle D'Este, caused the whcle estate that had been conveyed to her in 1829 by her another, Lady D'Ameland, to be put up for sale by auction, in lots for building purposes, and Mr. Gibson became the pur chaser of one of the lots, containing the mansion house and ground for the sum of 2,0301. Mr. Gibson, upon entering into possession of the property, built a wall upon the verge of the New-road, as required in order to divide the road from the property he had purchased ; but the inhabitants of the town of Ramsgate and the parish of St. Lawrence continuing to demand payment of the nominal rent, and threatening to pull down the wall as encroaching upon the Liberty-way, the respond ent applied to the appellant to take back. the premises and repay him his purchase-money. This being refused, the respondent in 1840 filed his bill to set aside the contract. and upon the case coming before the Vice- Chancellor Knight Bruce he decreed according to the prayer of the respondents' bill, and set aside the pur chase. From that decision the present appeal was brought. Mr. Bethell, Mr. L. Wigram, and Mr. J. P. Wilde appeared as counsel for the appellants, and Sir F. KELLY and Mr. SWANSTON were in support of the judgment of the Court below. The case is expected to occupy two or three days in argument. IVoLvEs.—The Echo de la Crease states, that not withstanding the advanced period of the season, on the night of the sth instant several wolves attacked fotir horses grazing in a field in the commune of Gueret. One of the horses being fettered was incapable of reukinF his escape, and was unfortunately devoured by the wolves. CRIMINAL COITRT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the REconoEn.) FEMALE PICKPOCKET. —M ary Ann Taylor, 27 years of age, was i n di c t e d with stealing half-a-crown and other monies, value 175., from the person of Mrs. Sarah Fisher. It appeared that the prosecutor resided at Poplar, and beinff ' desirous of go i ng to Lambeth, s h e go t into one of the Blackwall a n d Ch e l sea omni b uses a t Blackwall. The money whi c h th e pr i soner was charge d with stealing she had paced i n h er poc k et, folded up i n a small piece of paper. On th e omn ib us arriving at S t. Paul's-church yard the prisoner got into it, took a seat close to Mrs. Fisher, and rather rudely threw a portion of her dress upon her, so as to hide the entrance to her pocket. The prisoner only proceeded as far as Bridge•street, and after she got out the prosecutor missed her money, upon which she stopped the omnibus, and went in pursuit of her. She w as t a k en i nto custody in Bridge - str eet, and upon being sear c h e d afterwards a gold watch and chain and a purse, cont a i n i ng a quantity of gold and silver, ware found upon h er p erson. The jury found th e pr i soner Gu il ty, an d as she had before been guilty o f s i m il ar offences, The COURT senten ce d h er to ten years ' transportation. --- MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The May adjourned sessions were opened this morn ing at the Court House, Clerkenwell-green, by the As sistant-Judge and county magistrates. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE having charged the grand jury, Sarah Smith, aged thi r ty, an d J am es Sedgwick, aged forty-four, were indicted f or stea ling a gold watch, of the value of 171., the property o f John Mattam, from his person. It appeared that one evening last week the prosecutor was passing through S c otland-yard, when he met the female prisoner, vvherajiallenged him to treat her to a glass of ale. He treat her accordingly, and on coming out of the public-house he was knocked down, and the female prisoner snatched his watch from his pocket. The male prisoner was taken into custody on the spot, as the person who knocked the prosecutor down, and upon the female was found only the swivel of the watch; the guard and the watch itself having disappeared. The prisoners were found Guilty, and The ASSISTANT JUDGE, in passing upon the woman Smith, the sentence of twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour, said that the Court was determined to be severe upon all woman of her way of life, who were concerned in robbing from the person, accompanied with violence on the part of their more abandoned associates. The Learned Judge, however, in compliance with the request of the prisoner's Counsel, deferred sentence upon Sedgwick, until ten o'clock to-morrow. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY. UTTERING FORGED NOTES. —Peon) Gernaine, a well dres,ed young man, was placed before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having uttered two forged 51. notes. Mr. Charles Packer, jeweller, 78, Regent -street, said, on Saturday evening, between six and seven o'clock, the prisoner came into his shop and asked him to show him (prisoner) some silver pencil. cases and gold wed ding rings. Witness placed a tray of each on the counter, and the prisoner selected a ring and a pencil case which came to 15s. 6d. The prisoner tendered the note produced, and witness gave him 41. 4s. 6d. change. After the prisoner left the shop witness examined the note, and not liking its appearance he took it to the Bank of England, where it was examined by the in spector of bank-notes, and declared to be a forgery. He saw no more of the prisoner till he saw him in cus tody at the station-house. Mr. Arthur Rowland, of the firm of Rowland and Son, jewellers, 146, Regent-street, said, last night, about half• past eight, the prisoner came into his shop, and asked to look at some silver pencil cases. He selected one, which came to 9s. 6d, and then requested witness to show him some wedding-rings. He placed some before the prisoner, who chose one that came to 10s, The prisoner then gave him the note produced, which proved to be a forgery. Witness's brother then came into the shop, and the prisoner was taken to the station house. Mr. Donald Rowlands said, yesterday he heard that Mr. Packer had taken a forged note, and he went to the latter gentleman's shop to look at it. Mr. Packer gave him a description of the person who had passed it, and on witness's return to his shop the prisoner was there, and had tendered a forged 54 note to his (wit ness's) brother. Witness subsequently took the pri soner to Mr. Packer, who identified him as the person who had passed the note. Witness then took him to the station, and gave him into custody. :The prisoner was remanded till Friday next. ATTEMPTED RAPE ON A CHlLD.—James 11411, a journeyman tailor, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with assaulting Harriet Hammond, a child, ten Tho prosecutrix, a pretty inielligent little child, sam she resided with her parents at No. 3, Berwick-street, and the prisoner worked for her father who was a tailor. Last evening she was in'her mother's bed-room, on the first floor, when the prisoner came in and taking her up in his arms threw her on the bed. (Prosecutrix then gave further evidence, which is totally unfit for publica tion, but which evidently proved that the prisoner would have effected his object had he not been disturbed.) The prosecutrix added that she screamed out, and after some time her mother came and dragged her away. Ann Ham . mond, the mother of last witness said that the prisoner had worked for her husband for eight years, and had often nursed th e c hild when a b a by. Last night she missed her child, an d on mak i ng inquiries she was told that she (th e c hild ) was i n h e r bed room. Witness was then pr ocee di ng up sta i rs, w hen she heard prosecutrix call out. Wi tness ran an d o pened her bed room door, when she saw the prisoner lying upon the bed, close by the prosecutrix, whose clothes were in great disorder. Tho prisoner got off the bed, and witness asked him what he had been doing to her child. He an swered " Oh, nothing at all." He then ran out of the room, and the prosecutrix told her of the manner in which he had treated her. Witness then sent for a con- stable and gave him in charge. She subsequently took the child to a surgeon's, who examined her, and de clared that, although the child was seriously injured, the capital offence had not been committed. The prisoner, in a rambling manner, denied the accu sation. Mr. HARDWICK thought that the evidence was sufficiently conclusive to warrant hi m i n committing the prisoner for trial. i toy f coroner, tr. a p ati Idni a ead k jittl i ac. i at i wmit , :aaee. t Londonh AD J 0 URNED INQUEST UPON e extensive e e MR. DAKIN.--crms DAY.) The adjourned inquest to inquire into the cause of the death e at C h Paul's Churchyard, was held to-day before Mr. Payne, Mr. W. M. Wilkinson was present to watch the pro ceedings on behalf of the deceased gentleman's family, and ol,vil_i.:lls; lN r. ts l o.F r . B,avrr teoi Edwin iy: hnstea dealer in St. is s ,at his patenteesicetsih(ieoepn it b n a hi ( r a, r il s tb t h e ena r eitnt hthee attributed. e explosion attendedp cylindricallo ifoonr arose from the weakness of the metal of which the oven was made to resist the pressure which it was subjected to, that pressure being attended by heat. Mr. George Nasmyth, the en g ineer of .Ebury-street, Pimlico, was next examined. He said he had carefully examined the hot water apparatus, and examined minutely the casting where the explosion had taken place, and he considered that ,the explosion had arisen almost entirely from the manner in which the casting had been made. There was not bead or column of metal sufficiently high to get rid of the surg e or fro thi_ ness which always took place in casting iron. Accord.. ing to the custom of the trade the oven ought to have been cast with ahead, and then cut off, so as to get rid of any imperfections in it. Mr. William Healy, ironmonger, and manufacturer of hot water apparatus, said he was also of opinion that the explosion was caused by the defective casting of the valve. Mr. Perkins, the inventor of heating water under pressure, said he had examined the cylindrical oven, and understood perfectly the manner of working it. It was made of cast iron, which be considered was a very im proper material for an apparatus which had to bear au inch, excessive pressure of 2,0001b5. to the square and was subjected to 500 or 600 degrees of temperature. He considered that the casting was detective fo r th e reasons stated by the previous witness, and he was of opinion that the accident would not have happened if the oven had been made of wrought instead of cast iron. There were air-holes visible in the casting. e rly He also cons id ered th that the apparatus ha d not been prop erected. Mr. Waterhouse , who was in e employ of the de ceased, proved the contract with Messrs. Brown and Co. for the apparatus. Messrs. 11 Th e witnesses on the part of —rovvn and Co. were then called. Mr. George Taylor said he was an ironfounder at West Bromwich, Staffordshirlte, and was the party w h o made the c 3 lindrical oven. was made of Staffordshire iron, which cost in the rough state from 3/. to 5 / . per ton which was the market p rice for pig iron a t t h e time. In casting iron it was usual to leave a column h ead at the top about six or e i g ht inches high, an d the cylinders supplied to Mr. Dakin were cast in that way They were east from the top, and the column or head which was left was broken off on each cylinder, and made level with the casting. It was usual to do so when the casting was to be subjected to a great pressure, A fe_ bubbles were perc e p tible on the outside. The w sum air which Mr. Dakin was to pay for the cylinders ,as v` the rate of 151. a to n. The market price of pigiro at the same quality as that used by them was 31 18s n of the present time. H e considered that the c ylinder . at perf e ctly safe, and c a p able cf resistin g the r was p which it had to be ar.

Witness told him that it would not be fit for the purpose fur three or liar days, but he said he would have a batch of coffee that night. Mr. Dakin then went away, and retur ne d s h ort ly a fterwards, and in quired w h ether it was ready for , the coffee. Ile told him it was not, when the deceased again requested him to get up the heat. Witness accordingly open e d t h e dampers, which had been previously shut, and got up the heat to 500 degrees, and afterwards called the attention of the deceased to the water running out of the brickwork in consequence of its damp state. Mr. Dakin said, " Oh! never mind that, it won't hurt." Re told him at least half a dozen times that it was not fit to use in the state it was. When the explosion took place Ur. Dakin was standing by the middle of the machine, and witness, who was at his side, was knocked down and rendered insensible. On coming to his senses he crawled down stairs, and was taken to the hospital. The jury adjourned at half-past two to take refresh merits. BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION RAILWAY. —(THIS DAY.)

Trade MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO TIIREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy. Sales 4,500 bales, including 3,500 bales American, at about previous rates. The imports since last Friday have been 10,000 bales. In Railway Shares there was a very limited business, and the market was dull. There was no alteration in the market, but prices had a ten dency to improve. We have endeavoured carefully to elicit, if possible, any favourable information that may have come to hand, either in the papers or in private letters upon the subject of %Vest India affairs. We regret to state, however, that there is no improvement in the position of the colonies further than that the prospects of i the crops are good, and we fear that there wil be very little disposition to invest money in the cultivation of ' estates until mortgagees, non-resident proprietors, and all have entirely abandoned them. Men of small capital and industrious habits, determined like the Cuba planters, to settle for life upon the pro perty they buy, may yet have a chance ; and perhaps, as duties cannot be raised, there may be some concession ' made by lowering them. One thing, it is but fair to mention by the S way, viz., that Cuba and the French colonies are not so prosperous as they were, and that the slaves are becoming daily more discontented. Thiti is at least a sign of the 'times, though •it may lead to no immediate consequences. a b I The e rbeu A n te m hß e rg r o i ot c lh a de n r accounts.

In British North America the navigation was re opening, and there were a great many new vessels on the stocks. The continental advices have been of no particular interest, commercially speaking, but much attention is directed to the plan of the Belgian Government for giving bounties of 10 per cent. upon cotton goods ex ported to foreign parts. Our manufacturers may suffer, but they are not easily daunted. The Funds have been vacillating to-day. They opened firmly, and appeared to be going higher, but advantage having been taken to press sales of money stock, a reaction of nearly i per cent. immediately declined.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ' TATTERSALL'S.-YESTERDAY. A formal declaration at three o'clock yesterday after noon, that all Mr. Green's horses were scratched, except Shyleoscbko,rfooullgohweadn(l The Sheriff, created quit e a sensationby a similar announcem e nt w i t h regard to B in the room, and almost put an end to speculation on the Derby; the principal business was on Surplice; 6 to 5 was taken freely, and at the close it was even betting, the field having the call. Some money was laid out on Nil Desperandum, Glendower, Shylock, and The Fiddler (the latter reported to be " himself again"), but there was nothing like eagerness displayed by their supporters. Templeman, it is said, is likely to be on the favourite, and not above eighteen are expected to run. The Oaks betting was flat, with no other result of consequence than to restore Do-it- again to the Premiership. Not the slightest disposition was shown to hack Cymba. Latest prices:— DERBY.

SIR,—My last letter requires but slight amendment. My opinion of the crack, Eagle's Plume, and Springy Jack remaining, unaltered. The principal alteration i s in the s t art i ng li s t, w hi c h, as f a r as I can judge, will be the following : *Surplice (Templeman); * Nil Desperandum (A.Day); Glendower (Nat) ; *Springy Jack (F . Butle) Loadstone (Sly or Matson) ; Shylock (Robinson) ; *Eagle's Plume (Marlow) ; The Fiddler (Chapple) ; Oscar (Whitehouse); Comet (Edwards); Fugleman, Telegraph, Great Western, and Sponge. Two or three others may start, but they will make no difference in the result. The jcckeys' names I have attached to the principal favourites ; those marked with an asterisk will form the front rank at the finish, which contains the first and second's name for a certainty. I shall take Lord Eglinton's Eagle Plunge for my life-boat, and hope I may for the fourth time pull through triumphantly. I am, Sir, yours, &c. Tuesday Morning,T THE May 23, R 1 8 I 4 T B . OF THE TURF. Sr come time in September last, Mr. James Harker, of Kendal, on a visit to London, while partaking of some boiled chicken felt a pricking sensation in his throat, which he could only account for by supposing that he had swallowed a small bone, or a fragment of one. The obstruction appeared at first to remain where it had fixed, and for some time Mr. Harker felt inconvenienced by it, but at length the matter was forgotten. A week or two ago the circumstance was recalled by a needle two inches long making its way out of the flesh of the thigh, whither it bad worked itself during the eight months that had elapsed since the accident above related, when of course the dangerous little implement had been un. consciously swallowed by Mr. Harker.— Westmoreland Gazette. 4% RACES.
