II EAVER'S EMBROCATION for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, TIC DOLOREUX, &e. ;Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon, Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last, tto attie &liter of the Times :" " Sir.—l think it a duty I owe to the public to make known 'the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and `which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Seine months ago 1 mec with a very severe accident, having dislo cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender mesa of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con 'tinned very mtch swollen and edematous, and I suffer e d .dreadfully f rom severe attacks of spasms in t he ' night, which .ev ended from the anele to the leg; thigh, back, and to the arias. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and may medical fri,‘nds in the country could suggest, to no 'purpose, I set out for London with the intention of Om an ting Sir Benkimin Brodie or Mr. Liston —theta to adopt sea bathing. By a< eideni I met wifh Mr. FeaTer, IA Ludgate-hill, who applied bb, Embrocation, and, to my astonishment, had a* spun that night, nor har d I had on e since. The ne x t Interning I cat ie down stairs wAout my crutches, and was able to walk, tie swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am 'now rapidly re,.overing.

A four-inside coach can, under the present Act, carry sixteen passengers, which is the most you are allowed to license it for, at the rate of nd. per mile ; therefore it is not, as stated in The Sun, a reduction of one-half of the present duty, but an uniform duty of lid. per mile ' instead of the old sliding scale.

T.Y.C. EXPERIMENTS AT WOOLWICH. SEPT. 28.—At half-past one o'clock, P.M., to-day, Colonel Turner, C. 8., Colonel R. Jones, Colonel J. E. Jones, Major Wood, Major Sandilands, Major Hope, Captain Grant, and a number of officers of the Royal Artillery, and Major Aldrich, of the Royal Engineers, assembled at the mortar and howitzer bat tery, at the south-west end of the RoyalArtiller) Barracks, to witness experiments of equally * singular description as they were important in their results. On several former occasions details have been given of the result of experiments made by order of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, with a com position invented by Mr. Jeffrey, and now named " marine glue," the object being to test its adhesive qualities and strength, as it was shown to be insoluble in water, and consequently invaluable if proved of a strong binding nature when used for marine purposes, or in any of the naval departments. The experiments to-day were conducted under the immediate superintendence of Major Sandilands, in the presence of several scientific men, amongst whom were Sir Isambert Brunel, the projector of the Thames Tunnel, who appeared deeply interested, and after witnessing the first four shots remarked, " It was for• tunate for him that he had finished the tunnel before Mr. Jeffrey's invention was made public as he should have been obliged to use it, and the credit would then have been awirded to Mr. Jeffrey." Severe tests had been formerly applied to the in vention, but those made to-day were of such a de scription as to place its value beyond a doubt, and as they were made openly, without the slightest reser vation or concealment, every person present appeared fully satisfied. The first experiment consisted in charging an eight inch mortar with four ounces of powder, and after wards adding a ball of hard wood weighing about 811bs., formed of two solid pieces, having the appear ance of half-moons before they were joined together in the form of a globe by means of the marine glue. On the mortar being fired at an angle of 45 degrees of elevation, the wooden ball was projected into the air, and fell to the ground with great force at a dis tance of 260 yards, rebounding to a considerable height, without the least symptom, on its being closely examined, of having yielded or showed a tendency to separate by the violence of the concussion. The second shot was fired with a charge of eight ounces of powder, and reached a much higher alti tude than the first, and fell to the ground at a dis tance of 518 yards, rebounding several times, and on being examined did not appear to have yielded in the slightest degree. The third shot was fired with a charge of 15 ounces of powder, and attained a still higher altitude than the former falling to the ground with tremendous force at a distance of '760 yards, but it did not re bound so much as the two first, owing to the depth it entered the ground when it fell. On examining the wooden ball it appeared quite sound, and had not yielded in the least in the joining, although the wood appeared shaken in one or two places. The fourth shot was fired with 15 ounces of powder, the same as the third, but the wooden ball in this in stance presented the peculiarity of the two halves be ing joined together with the composition on the spot before all the parties. The operation was quite simile, merely bringing the marine glue, used the same as common glue through the medium of boiling water, or, as in this instance, by direct appli ca ti on t o a fire lighted in the mortar battery for the purpose. The wooden ball was immediately afterwards im mersed in a bucket of water, where it remained about 15 minutes, and, in exactly 16 minutes from the time of its being joined, was fired from the mortar, and fell to the ground at a distance of 750 yards without the slightest appearance of the joining having given way, although so recently formed. It was after the result of this shot Sir I. Brunel expressed his astonishment to witness the immense adhesive power of the marine glue used openly in his presence. . . 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, (directly oppsite the York Hotel), and 76, KING WILLIAM-STREET, CITY.

London : John Churchill, Princes-street, Soho. - The first four shots were fired with the solid end of the wooden balls next the powder, but, in order still further to test the powers of the marine glue, the mortar was again charged with 201bs. weight of pow der, and the first fired wooden ball placed with the joined part next the powder, and the mortar elevated from 45 to 75 degrees, as in the event of the parts of the wooden ball not being separated by that severe test it would prove invaluable. On being fired the wooden ball went such a height as to be invisible, although its course could be traced until it appeared not larger than a marble, and it fell at a considerable distance on the common, about 900 yards from the spot from whence it was projected. At the conclusion of these experiments Major San dilands asked Mr. Jeffrey if be had any objections to fire one of the wooden balls from an eight-inch howitzer against the ground at a short distance, and, on being answered that he had not the slightest ob jection, a charge of two ounces and a half of powder was used, and the wooden ball fired in the usual manner, when it struck the ground at about 200 yards distance, and rebounded numerous times over a further distance of nearly 500 yards, without having any effect whatever upon it. The same wooden ball was fired a second time from the howitzer with a similar result. A powerful sledge-hammer was afterwards, applied to one of the wooden balls for some time to endeavoui to separate the parts, but without any visible effect, only shattering the solid wood. The result of these experiments made to-day appear to have been alto gether so satifactory as to render it probable that no others will be made unless the marine glue is found useful for other purposes not yet contemplated. SEVERE THUNDER STORM.—On Wednesday, the 21st inst., a severe thunder storm visited various di visions of Galloway and Annandale, from Moffat water to Lochryan Bay, a line of country embracing in distance considerably more than a hundred miles. Around Kirkcudbright, in Borgue and Twynholm, the storm raged with appalling violence, as we learn from the following particulars kindly transmitted by an eye-witness :—" Many of the sheep and cattle were congregated in groups, or moved about irregularly, quaking with fear. About a mile to the west of Kirkcudbright, on the farm of Bishopton, a draught mare was struck dead in the stable. Two young men, one within and the other without the building, were slightly injured —one on the head, the other on the arm ; but they are both recovering. Three water-spouts were seen in the vicinity of Kirkcud bright ; and their irregular twirling in the air attracted a good deal of attention. Soon after one o'clock it be gan to rain; and th e r e were a l so some h eavy s h ower s of hail which continued nearly two hours. In part of Twynholm, and also in Borgue, the hail was large; and it fell in such quantities that bushels of ii might have been gathered in a few minutes. The horses which draw the two coaches that lily between Dumfries and Kirkcudbright were so much hampered; while approaching the latter town, that the drivers were obliged to proceed very slowly and with great caution. Anwoth and Kirkmabreck hills were griz zled as if it had been December ; and even next fore n there were, in some parts of Borgue, consider able quantities of half-melted hail.

T O RNADO.—On Tuesday morning, betwixt four and five o'clock, and after an uncommonly beautiful moonlight evening, one of the heaviest showers of rain ever remembered came over Dundee. Although m ; thunder rolled, it had every appearance of a thun der storm. In the western suburbs some houses were flooded to so great an extent that the furniture flonted about. In Reform-street, Mr. Graham An derson's tailor's shop was inund a t e d, an d sever al ar ticks damaged. We are informed that the storm ranged within a narrow compass, and that, from town, the morning was fair and mild.

Accounts from Surinam of the 9th of July have been received here, which were extremely favourable. We hear from Breda that there was lately found at Oosterwick, at the depth of six feet below the sur face of the earth, the remains of one of those antedi luvian animals, which it is supposed ought to be classed with the elephant. These remains, though petrified, are in a good state of preservation, espe cially the grinders, seven in number, which weigh 131bs. It appears certain that one of the canine teeth must have been five feet in length. These monstrous remains are being collected with great care, and it is intended shortly to publish a description of them. DUTCH FUNDS.—Ammiloax, SEPT. 26. Droner. Bills.

At a meeting of the Birmingham Anti-Corn-law Association, held on Thursday last, Mr. James Bald win quoted a small card, which had been published, which he considered ought to be republished in every shape and form throughout the town, showing the ex pense of the borough police-force of Birmingham, as compared with the entire expense of maintaining the Government of America. The following were the contents of the card : COMPARATIVE STATEMENT. OF THE ANNUAL EXPENSE OF THE POLICE FORCE OF BIRMINGHAM AND THE GOVERNMENT OF AMERICA.

This statement is striking enough, even without the exaggeration contained in it. The account of the expense of the American Government does not include the army and navy, nor the privates and subalterns of the executive Government. The account of the Bir mingham police embraces the whole expense. That the officers only of the Birmingham police cost s one third as much as the principal officers and Judges of the Government of the United States is a good exem plification of our official extravagance and their economy. ANOTHER FEMALE SAILOR.—On Thursday last, just as the Lady Charlotte was about to sail from Cardiff, the attention of P. C.

Her assumed name as the sailit Was Edward Williams, but her real name is Mary fifall: She is twenty years of age. She lived with her father, who is a decayed far mer, about nine miles from Merthyr, and between that place and Neath. Having a brother away from home; she determined to go in search of him. SlA'i hfid received a letter lately from him, in closing 51., anti it contained a request that she would come to him. Thisletter she had lost, and so entire;;' had she forgotten her brother's address that she did not know Whither the letter came from America, Austra lia, or Ireland.

She was directed tobe sett to the Union-house until her friends could he cOmtiititleatal with, and her money was left in Mr. Si t ;tlidale's hands. Mr. Stockdale deserves great cre dit foi Nlr &mane attention to the poor girl, who, had she bee??' xirtlered to go into the town, would doubtless have beet? robted of her little pittance.

(From the Stockport Chronicle.) Now that the whole of the -turn-out operatives have returned to work, it may not be amiss to put on record the probable amount of loss which this borough has sustained by the strike., It will furnish matter for fa s u e n r tdu i o 1 class,. u e s to those i a i s n i d d e m r rat y i h o o n p r f ho o Na l: ev thinking e a beensal salutary tadr ey m l ue warning,dne d o f i e n s t ' o e r t. for e t r r trade . mend of " a fair day's wages for a fair day's work," without any regard to the state of the markets for the produce of their labour, and the existence of oppres sive and grinding monopolists, which are fast ruining every branch of manufacturing industry. All history does not, perhaps, record a similar in stance of a cessation of labour so extensive, simulta neous, and protracted as this turn-out ; certainly not where so much manufacturing capital and inanimate power, as well as human labour. was rendered unpro ductive. Earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, pes tilence, and the ravages of war, have razed cities, and desolated whole provinces; but we doubt if so much injury was ever before self-inflicted in the same space of time, by and upon a similar population as that which this populous and important section of the kingdom has sustained. We are not enabled to give exactly the precise number of different descriptions of hands in this bo rough, who for the space of full five weeks performed no labour, and received no wages ; but we can state pretty confidently, that those employed in the cotton manufactories alone, all of whom were out, receive at present rates about 9,0001. per week ; so that the direct loss, in this respect, is about 45,0001. But in our population of about 50,000 souls, something like a thousand families constitute the distributive class—as corn-dealers, bakers, grocers, drapers, butchers, pub lime, milkmen,; &c. &c. ; and about the same num ber the various trades which are carried on in all our town communities, as shoemakers, tailors, joiners, smiths, brewers, carters, porters, &c. &c., and the loss to these, from the stoppage of the whole staple trade of the town, cannot have been less than than 3,000/. per week, or, in the whole, 15,0001. And if the ma nufacturers are making only very t o rifl profits, con- sidering their large capitals, they u in st g have lost in the aggregate not less than 30,0001. more. Thus the whole loss. of the borough may be said to be somewhere about 75,000/. ! To impress more forcibly upon minds of every order of intellect the proper estimate of the real mag nitude of this tremendous loss, we give below the fol lowing lots of different commodities, any one of which might have been purchased with 75,0001.: — Thirty-six thousand sacks of flour, a quantity suf ficient for this town for six months ; 375,000 loads of potatoes (at present prices) plenty for the same for five years ; 3,000,000 pecks of apples , or 25,000,000 quarts of plums, at last Friday's p rices ; 1,125,000 gallons of beer, at ls. 4d. per gallon ; 150,000 tons of coals ; 150,000 men's hats • 300,000 pairs of shoes of all sizes, 1,000,000 pairs of hose, at ls. 6d. per pair ; or would have given 71. 10s. worth of clothin g , bed , ing, and furniture, to every family in the borough ; or it would have paid the whole rental of the town for one year ; or the whole poor and other rates for three years ; or have maintai ne d th e police estab lishment for two generations. It wou ld have supported all the Sunday schools of the b oroug h f o r a whole generation, or have given a day sch oo l e d uc ation to the w hole of its youth for ten years. It wou ld have erected a ma nufactory equal to any i n th e b o rough ; .or five work houses equal to that on Sh aw h e ath ; or have b ou g ht and laid out, in the vicinity of the town, a pleasure park or promenade of several hundred acres, for the use of the inhabitants for ever. 1 The above enumeration of the different commodir ties which might hav e b een purc hased, things done, 1 or objects accomplish e d b y the 75,0 00 /. w hich the borough has apparently di rec tl y lost, places that l os s in a very prominent p m:l i n t o f v i e w ; b u t whether it is on trade so much actual dead l oss i s no t so easy to determ i ne , because we cannot yet - f orm an opinioalloyi far still further reductiona of th e profits of capital' a n d the wages of labour in the cott may i n f uture be prevented by so extensi ve a ' c essation Of produ ction. The lessening of the consumption of cotton wool to the amount, perhaps, of 16,000,0001b5., at a time 4 1010 reaundant capital was seeking it as a temporary speculative investment, and the non-production to a corresponding amount of cloth, when stocks were heavy and prices low, must have a serious effect upon ths . general market, gre a tl y t o the advantage of the Whble capital and labour engaged in the cotton manu facture, however those manufacturers and their ope ratives, who have been involved in the struggle, may have suffered up to the present moment, or may the trade : Ultimately suffer, as compared with the remain der of in additio to the abov e i s the expense entai led upon the country (including the boro u g hs) b y the measures rendered necessary for the security of pro pPrtp and the maintenance of public tranquillity.

In the course of the year 1836, according to the plaintiffs' case, M.

The hotel-keepers complain bit terly of the absence of their best customers, and many of the shopkeepers have no cause for rejoicing. The improved facilities for travelling on the continent cause tourists to explore Germany and the Rhine in preference to France, and the " war fever" caused by M. Thiers has not yet subsided sufficiently to induce the English to make Paris their abode as of old. The absence of our countrymen is, however, in some de gree supplied by the Russians, of whom there are great numbers in the French capital. They are not l however, v ery popu l ar w i t h t h e Parisians, their habit s and customs being so widely different to those of our gay neighbours, • -- rf_-- - I ORDINATIONS.

SIR,—In consequence of the various unfounded and malicious reports respecting the state of the caisson I am now fixing on the Goodwin, as well as from the: hostility which I have experienced from many of the boatmen or hovellers (so called), together with the opposition and persecution I have met with from cer tain parties whose orders from the Admiralty were to render me every assistance in the completion of this national undertaking, I came at once to the deter mination of laying the whole matter before the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. In consequence of such communication, their Lord ships directed Mr. Edward IL Tinling, commander,. and Mr. John M‘Donald, Master, of her Majesty's flag-ship Camperdown, to proceed to the Downs, and make a report of the present state of the caisson. On Thursday last, the 22d, the officers appointed pro ceeded from Woolwich to their survey in the Monkey steamer, commanded by Mr. William Bryant, an officer who is perfectly acquainted with the locality of the Goodwin. On Saturday, the 24th, the survey being completed, the report was made, upon which their Lordships required an interview, when I fully explained the present p..sition of the caisson, which quite coincided with the report of the Government survey. The result of which, lam happy to state, was, that immediate orders were given for the MOD.' key steamer to proceed to the Downs with the boring apparatus, as soon as the weather will permit, and to render me every assistance in carrying out this im portant undertaking. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, WILLIAM BUSH, Civil Engineer. Deptford, Sept. 28, 1842. RAMSGATE, SEPT. 27.—1 t has blown a hurricane for the last two days. This morning, at the usual hour (nine o'clock), the Duchess of Kent started for London. In going out of the harbour she strained and laboured much, and was not off Broadstairs tilt ten o'clock, a distance which she usually accomplishes in one-third of the time. After having passed the preventive service station at Broadstairs, and when standing out to sea, she was struck by a heavy sea, which carried away a portion of her bulwarks, and one of the wooden houses on deck. A second sea soon after struck her, welling the deck, and carrying away an additional portion of her bulwarks. At this moment she made no way, and rolled and pitched considerably. In a moment or two it was apparent that the skipper had prudently given orders to put abo - ut for . Ramsgate, where she arrival with sixty or seventy passengers, shortly before: eleven O'clock. It was found, on examination, that tku the - chess had b een considerably damaged, and twenty carpenters were immediately set to work on her, so that she may be in a condition to put to sea to-morrow, wind and weather permitting. I believe some portion of the passengers' luggage was washed overboard off Broad stairs ; but, at all events, the luggage in general has. had the benefit of a saline immersion. The City of London, from that port for Calais, put in here to-day, at about three o'clock. A little efore that hour die Eclipse iron-boat arrived at Margate from town ; and while I write (five minutes before six o'cicck), the Fame, for London, Captain Corbyn, has just arrived safely at her destination. I cannot send any news of the Light of all Nations, as no boat could communi cate with the Goodwin. TILE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY: On Monday evening, as the mail-train which leaves London at half-past eight o'clock was within about five miles of the Tring station (on the Loudon side), the engine was suddenly backed for some distance, to the surprise and apprehension of the passengers. The general belief was that there had be en a slip_" of earth, one having occurred on the r oad near the IVol verley station on Saturday last. Presently, however, the engine stopped, and the body of a man was dis covered on the line of rails up to London, the head. completely severed from the body, and lying about 30 yards from it. The wr iter of this paragraph s aw the corpse at the moment it was found, and does not think the stroke of a sharp axe could have more com pletely performed the ac t of deca p itation. The effu sionman.d From the of blood was very considerable. The body was labourersrecognised steady, which ine, the body lay, it would seem as if a position a respectable g uard as that of one o f t h e l ndit was aded that he was known to in a be the neck had lain across the rail, and that the head . had been sw e p t off b y the wh eels of 1 .,... . viie engine._ Salopian Journal. W e have obtained the following particulars of the deplorable accident from the ferocity . of a d og , o f w hich, on Wednesday, we gave on l The animal, which is of the m y a short n oti ce . mountain to Mlle. Annais Auber, of the ntain breed, b e l onge d le Theatre Francais, who kept it to guard her house Versailles and St. Germ • at Louveci ennes , b e t ween up during the d a y, and 'vas lie was always ch a i ne d Nvas under the ch arge o f a female serva n t, who, acting under advice, had been accustomed from ti me to time, during the late extreme heats, to thro w pails of water over him, in order to keep him in health.o cold This so enraged the animal on against h er , that,Sunday last, having got loose, and findin g his well intentioned tormentor alone at a remote part of the d groun s, he sprang upon her, pulled her down, and tore her so dreadfully in the neck and head, that she expired before any assistance could reach her. Mlle. Annais immediately ordered the dog to be killed, and was so much affected by the catastrophe, that she has been seriously.indisposed ever since. INCOME TAX.—In Kendal the number of blank forms is so limited that the Commissioners cannot supply the town. One part of the population have had their billets doux for three weeks, while another part have not yet received those soft expressions of the Premier's regard. And what is more amusing, the number of applications for forms declaring that their income is below 150/. is so great, thatany supply of papers hitherto received is wholly inadequate to the demand. We have heard several parties state that, with their best desires to fill up the returns con sistently, they really cannot understand them.—Kendal Mercury. A SAGACIOUS ANIMAL.—At the fair of Ballintub ber, a horse, on which a celebrated spoiiing charac ter was mounted, actually kicked two latitats out of * fellow's waistcoat pocket, disabling his arm so as to prevent him effecting service upon the owner, and in less than half an hour after prostrated two proems servers, who had civil bills to serve Upon the same gentleman.—Roscommon Journal oa ea ;d. . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 . _0 B t - 44 o 64 64 ill i° G of'' • 5 0 1 'V' TO ' 0611' rj ,ce I C , 1, fsl'' 300' a s( 4 icie" Cr °°° l• t. arUe nt '°‘l E• • fl 11 0 ' sq. , d 71 ' of
