" Sist,—l feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unsoli cited testimony to the excellence ofyour ' Frampton's Pill of Health,' which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very superior ge neral medicine. The widow- of an officer, an elderly lady, and near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely having re course to any other medicine for a long period of years. She has recommended them extensively, and in one instance in which she induced a person to adopt them, and supplied the first box herself, they have proved of extraordinary efficacy. I think that, perhaps, there is scarcely any other of the many patent medi cines before the public of equal value as a friend in need ;' certainly none possessed of superior claims.

A B R I A (+ Zr. 31 One half the world are desolately single, and the other iapposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a lens' of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea f caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un •omprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, mod broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness uld social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set lament. Honour and justice demand that health should form anitem m the compact ; It alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er teglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

The fact becoming known that James Weston, the man who stands charged with the murder of Maria Weston, his wife, and Maria Elizabeth Weston, his infant daughter, by cutting their throats with a razor, was to undergo a re examination before Mr. Paynter yesterday morning, at the Wandsworth Police-court, the precincts of the court were thronged with people from an early hour. The magistrate, however, having directed that none but those persons absolutely en gaged in the case should he admitted into the court, it was kept comparatively clear. Mr. Paynter took his seat upon the bench precisely at ten o'clock, and having disposed of some few night charges, the prisoner was brought into the court at half-past ten o'clock, by Mr. Bicknell, the superin tendent of the V division, and placed in the dock. When the prisoner was before the magistrate on Saturday, he had the clothes on him in which be had murdered his victims, bespattered as they were w i t h human gore. YesterdayC the prisoner was attired in the prison dress, his own apparel having been given into the custody of the police, by whom it will be produced at the trial. The prisoner had lost all that terror and nervous ness that possessed him on Saturday. He walked with a firm step into the duck, and, beyond restlessness about the eyes, he was perfectly collected, and paid profound attention to the evidence given by the various witnesses. Mr. Paynter asked if any professional gentleman attended for the prisoner ? Mr. Bicknell said he un derstood the prisoner to be ucdefended. Inspector Coleman was the-, called forward as the first witness; and Mr. Alfred Taylor, the chief clerk, proceeded to read his depositions, as given on Satur day last. The evidence of the witness being con cluded, Mr. Paynter said—Have you anything to add to that deposition ? Inspector Coleman—Yes, sir ; the prisoner asked me for some breakfast, and I gave him some. There was a great deal of blood upon his clothes, and they have been since changed for the prison dress. The clothes he had on on the last occa sion are now here. Mr. Paynter—Let them be prcduced and identified. Inspector Coleman—l identify the coat, hat, and waiscoat. They are the clothes the prisoner wore when he came to the station. Mr. Paynter here asked the prisoner if he wished to put any question to the witness ? The prisoner (in a loud tone)—l have no question to ask him ; but (turning towards and pointing to Mr. Parrot, the surgeon, who was seated at the attorney's table) that is the man I wish to ask some questions of. Mr. Paynter observed when the proper time came he should do so. Frederick Langton, police-sergeant, 9 V, was next sworn, and his depositions read over to him. The witness added to his depositions the following evi dence. The house contains four rooms, two above and two below. The prisoner, with his wife and children, appear to have been the only persons occu pying the house. I found a shilling and a halfpenny on the bed. At the station I found a baker's bill ; the amount on the bill was 2s. 61 I also found three knives on the prisoner. There were marks of blood on the bill, which I took from the left-hand waistcoat pocket. On one of the knife blades there are marks of blood, and another had been recently sharpened. Mr. Paynter examined the knife on which the stains of blood were alleged to be, and observed they did not look like blood. Mr. Parrott was directed to examine the blade, and he gave it as his opinion that the marks were those of blood ; he had very carefully examined the body of the deceased woman, but could find no marks of any stab. Sergeant Langton then proceeded with his evi dence. The child was quite naked. I have no doubt the clothes were taken off after the child was mur dered. I have no doubt that the prisoner, after com mitting the murder, washed himself and put himself to rights. There was also in one of the prisoner's pockets a paper containing a little tobacco, and that had a stain of blood on it. The child's chemise and night-gown were saturated with blood. They were lying by the bed side. It would appear the infant slept with the prisoner and his wife. The prisoner here said —Allow me to say one word ? Mr. Paynter—What is the question you wish to ask ? Pr:soner—What the policeman has stated about the bill is not true. He did not find it on me ; the baker's bill was in the side-pocket of a fustian coat, and was in the bed-room. I went to Dodd's shop about the amount, in which there was a mistake, and he said he would come about half-past twelve o'clock that day to settle it. Inspector Coleman said he saw the baker's bill taken from the prisoner at the station-house. Examination continued—The infant was warm ; she was lying in a pool of blood, and on her face. I should think, from the position of the woman, she was killed first. I have observed the two footmarks particularly. They are decidedly those of a female, arid upon comparing the deceased's boots with them, I should say were hers. The footmarks had been made with blood. There was blood on the wall. It would seem that the deceased had made an attempt to get to the other room. The staircase faces the door of the front room. One footmark was close to the edge of the stair, and the other close to the room. The aide of the staircase forms the end of the house. The door of the front room opened inside. The legs were just inside the doorway. An attempt had been made to make a step forward, and the deceased's throat was probably cut as she had hold of the door. She recognised the corpse of the woman, but could not identify the child. After some conversation it was determined to examine Sarah Clover, the daughter of the deceased woman by a former husband, who is a pretty-looking intelligent little girl of nine years of age, and her appearance in the court excited much commiseration. She was sworn, and stated as follows :—My mother was the wife of the prisoner. He is my father-in law. I don't know the time I went to bed on Friday, night. I saw Newman, and went to bed before he 1 left.. I slept in the back room by myself. I was not awoke in the night. The police woke me in the morning. I heard nothing during the night. The police showed me the dead body of a child last night; it was my little sister. I saw also my mother's body. Mr. Paynter now asked Mr. Parrott if he knew anything respecting the state 'of tin prisoner's mind lately ? 31 - r. Parrott—l am not able to give any evidence on that particular fact. I know nothing at all about him. Mr. Paynter, addressing the prisoner, asked him if he had any witnesses to call ? Prisoner—l have no witnesses, and I've no recollection of anything. Mr. Paynter then read the usual caution to the prisoner, and at the conclusion told him it was at his option whether he chose to say anything or not in answer to the charge. Prisoner (pointing to Mr. Parrott) said be was the gentleman, who took my senses away, and he ordered the drugs to be given. Mr. Herring sent for Mr. Parrott when my child was ill with inflammation on its lungs, and he said there was nothing the matter with it except its teething. Mr. Paynter—This is not an answer to the charge. Prisoner—l have, no answer to it. He gave me the drugs to take, and Mr. Pritchard sanctioned it; that was on last Monday week, and he said, by Saturday night week there would be murder in my house, and Mr. Pritchard said he would be answer able for it. The prisoner then went on to state that Mr. Parrott, two or three other gentlemen, and the superintendent of police came to his bedside on the previous night, and would have murdered him but for the turnkey. They afterwards told him that if he spoke of it again it would be their ruin. Mr. Paynter again reminded the prisoner he was not answering the charge. The prisoner put his hand to his forehead for a few seconds, and said that Mr. Pritchard and another gentleman had said he should be released, and his child restored to him in two years. He knew nothing abDut the charge of murder. He was quite senseless. His senses were taken from at the time ; they were coming back to him slowly, day by day. That was all he had to say. When his statement was given to him to sign, he expressed his reluctance to do so, but afterwards made his mark. The brother of the prisoner informed the magistrate that his mind was affected, and he could produce wit nesses to that effect. Mr. Paynter said such evidence must be given at the trial, and might have its effect. Some minor arrangements were then made, and the prisoner was committed for trial at the Central Cri minal Court for wilful murder. The prisoner declined putting any other question to this witness, but said he wished Mr. Parrott to be examined. Mr. Paynter told the prisoner he would have his wish, and, addressing the inspector said he had better have a plan of the premises prepared ready for the trial. Mr. John Charles Parrott, of Clapham-common, surgeon, was next sworn, an d th e c hi e f clerk having read over his deposition, the witness was asked by the magistrate if he wished to add anything. Mr. Parrott—Nothing, e xcep t th a t I noticed the peculiar state of the spine in the woman. On the right side of the neck there was a jagged and ragged appearance, the same as if broken by some force. 'This injury could not have been inflicted by a razor. There was a spiculum of bone sticking up ; it might have been caused in the struggle. Three or four me dical gentlemen were with me when I examined it, and were of opinion with me that the neck had been twisted round. The violence of the struggle might have broken the neck, but I do not think it would have given that jagged appearance to the bone. I observed the footmarks, and think the foot had been previously dipped in blood. The position in which the body of the woman was found would show that strugging had taken place, and the nature of the wound would in cline me to believe that the throat was cut at the moment of hor striving to get into the other room. Mr. Paynter now asked the prisoner if he had any question to put to the last witness ? The prisoner—l think Mr. Parrott is the murderer. He and Mr. Pritchard and Mr. Bullock came to my bedside/ last night and on Monday night fortnight. Mr. Parrott was fetched to mesmerise me. Mr. Parrott gave me drugs, and he said there would be murder in the house. Charles Newman, a new witness, was next exa mined. He said, I lire at Saville House, Brixton road, and am a farm labourer. I know the prisoner and his late wife and children. I bare not seen the bodies. I was with them on Friday evening ; they were very comfortable together. The prisoner was sober. Thera was no quarrelling, but he said h e thought he had had a quarrel with some one, and that he should hear something that would do him an injury. lie said he had been to the P division police station, and asked if it was any of the police, as he did not know who it was. The prisoner was looking very ill, and I asked him if he had been to work that day, and he replied " No." He said he was much troubled in his mind, and wanted to see his brother ; that he had been as far as the Park on his way there, but turned back, as he had left his wife very unwell at home. The prisoner's wife remarked he was look ing very ill since he was in this bad way, and the prisoner got up, walked to the looking -glass and said, " I shall be fat to-morrow." I don't recollect that he said anything about Mr. Parrott or Mr. Pritchard, or about any drugs, or being mesmerised. Witness left at nine o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIOIV-HO USE. EXTRAORDINARY CASE of ASSAULT.—Benjamin Lampard was brought before Alderman Gibbs upon the charge of having unlawfully, maliciously, and feloniously assaulted, cut, and wounded Thomas Sault upon his head, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. The incidents, as described in evidence, caused a great deal of surprise. The head and face of the prosecutor were patched all over. Thomas Sault, a labourer in the service of the Ordnance, at the Tower, said—l live at No. 2, Newnham-place, Bishopsgate. Between one and two o'olock on the morning of Wednesday, the 17th inst., I came home with the prisoner, who lodges in the same house with me. I was going up stairs, and the prisoner was going up before me. lie had a pewter pint pot in his hand, and he suddenly turned round and struck me on the head and face in a dreadful manner. I was not quite sober, nor was he, at the time, but he knew what he was about. He cut my head open. We had been out drinking together, and had had some three or four sixpennyworths of brandy-and-water, for 'some of which he paid, and I paid for the rest. We had been at three different public-houses together. After he first struck me I fell down, and he kept on jobbing the pot over my head without intermission, and knocked me down. I fell to the bottom of the stairs, and an officer came and assisted me to the station house. I was covered with blood. A surgeon was sent for, who dressed my wounds. The prisoner —Did I not fetch the policeman myself after you were assaulted ? The prosecutor— You did. The prisoner —Did you not drink some beer with me when we came into the house ? The prosecutor —Certainly, you brought in a pint of beer with you, and I drank part of it with you down stairs. The prisoner —How then could it be supposed that I would attack you in such a dreadful manner ? We had no quarrel, and no existed between us. The moment I found you were attacked by somebody I alarmed the police. The prosecutor—You are the person who did the deed, and no other. Hall (policeman 668) said about two o'clock yes terday morning, I heard some loud talking, and saw the prosecutor and the prisoner going into their lodg ings together. The prisoner was trying to prevail upon the prosecutor to go into the house. They went in, and I went away. I afterw area heard a cry of " police," and found the prisoner calling " po lice," and upon going into the houso I saw the pro secutor covered with blood. He immediately seized hold of the prisoner, and said " This is the wretch who has done it." I found two hats on the second floor landing, doubled and creased up as if they had been trodden on. The prisoner immediately said, " Whose hat is this ? This is a stranger's hat, and the party who has done it has run away." He then said, " Whoever it was they hit me first upon the head with the pint pot," and he picked up a pint pot, and said, " This is it. I took it out of his hand and hammered away at him as hard as I could," holding up his hand ; and he added, " Whoever he was be did not get much the best of it." Alderman GIBBS—In what state was the prisoner at the time ? had been drinking, but he was not so drunk as not to know what lie was about. Jesse Baker, a labourer, who lives in the same house, said—l sleep on the gr oun d fl oor , c l ose t o th e outer door. I was in bed, and I heard the prisoner say to the prosecutor, " Come in doors, old fellow." Sault said, "I won't; I shan't." The prisoner said, " Yes, come along." I then heard a policeman walk up the court and speak to them, and tell them to go in doors, and I heard them come in. I then heard Sault refuse to go up stairs. The prisoner tried to persuade him to go up, and Sault said, "I shall not, I will not." But after a short time I heard them both go up stairs as far as the first landing, and then I heard them go up the second flight. I next heard a great rumbling, and Sault helloed out, " Ben, you have done it—you have murdered me." Sault then came down stairs, and made a slip, as I thought, and fell against the partition of my room. The prisoner called out, " Mrs. Jones, for God's sake get up—Mr. Sault is murdered." I then got out of bed and opened my door, and saw Mrs. Jones bring a candle ; and I then saw Sault at the foot of the stairs, with his face covered with blood. Sault said to me " Ben has been trying to murder me." I asked the prisoner what ho had been doing, to which he replied, " I have been doing nothing. It was some strange man that came into the house and tried to rob us." I then said to the prisoner, "If you did not do it, fetch a policeman, and we shall soon see whether we cannot find who has done it." He fetched in three policemen, and then he produced a pint pot, and said, " This is the thing that done it." He further said that there was a strange man going to strike him with a pint pot, and that he grasped it in his hand, and wrenched it away from the stranger, and that he then struck the strange man as hard as he could on the head with it. Sault said the prisoner was the man who did it, and gave him in charge to the police. The ALDERMAN—Did you hear the steps or voice of any other person on the stairs ? Witness—No. I did not hear any one go up after them ; and no one came in until I opened the door and called to the prisoner to fetch a policeman. lam positive the outer door of the house was not opened after the prosecutor and the prisoner entered. The policeman searched the yard and the top part of the house, but found nobody. The ALDERMAN—Did the prisoner say anything after the policeman searched the house? The wit ness—All that he said was, that a strange man had come in to rob them. The ALDERMAN—In what rooms do they sleep ? The witness—Their rooms are opposite to each other, at the top of the house. The prisoner—l was persuading Sault to go to bed. We never had any words, and why should I injure him ? William Robinson—l reside on the first-floor, and I kept two old hats hanging on a peg outside. The hat found upon tho stairs is one of them. The pri- The prisoner had no question to ask this witness. James Crane sworn, said—l am a gardener, and live at 'White's Cottage, Park-hill, Clapham. I know the prisoner, and lodged with him twelve months, till about two years since. He was married at that time to his late wife. ll^ had not been married before to my knowledge. She had one child living with her, awl another elsewhere. I saw the prisoner on Friday last in Manor-street. He said, " Good morning, James." I saw him three times that day. had not seen his wife for some days. I saw her body and that of the child on Saturday afternoon. I identified his wife's body, but could not swear to that of the child, as I had not seen it sufficiently to swear to it. Mr. Paynter said the identity of the child must be proved. Inspector Coleman said he took a woman on the previous evening to identify the bodies before they were screwed down, and she was present. A woman named Collins was then called forward.

The prosecutor was at the time under the influ ence of drink. Witness dressed the wounds, which he did not consider to be dangerous provided erysi pelas did not ensue. The prisoner, upon being asked in the usual man ner whether he wished to say anything, said, " I am entirely innocent of it." The ALDERMAN—I commit you to the Central Criminal Court for wounding the prosecutor with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. That you were in liquor I consider no excuse at all. The prisoner —There is nothing to show I did it. The ALDERMAN.—You happened to be the only person there ; that is all.—Committed for trial. %VESTA! IN STE R. TIM LATE ROBBERY AND SUSPECTED MURDER AT CHELSEA.—Thomas .M . Donald, Mary, his wife, and Mary Fox, who stand charged with a robbery at Chelsea, attended with circumstances of a most mys terious and extraordinary characler, were again brought before Mr. Broderip. The particulars of the former examination have already been fully detailed. A few days ago, owing to every endeavour on the part of the police to obtain the least information with respect to the sudden and mysterious disappearance of M'Gowran or M'Guire, the prosecutor, having been fruitless, a letter was addressed by the board of guardians of St. Luke, Chelsea, to Sir George Grey, stating that much alarm , and excitement prevailed in the parish, and that it was the general impression that the missing man had been murdered, and urging upon the Home Secretary the necessity of offering a reward for the discovery of his person. An answer was received on Friday last to this communication, but owing to a passage in it appearing to bear a doubtful construction in the minds of the guardians, the following was determined upon at their meeting on Wednesday, and forthwith forwarded : Office, Chelsea Workhouse, Oct. 17, 1849. " Sir George—ln referring to you my letter of the 10th instant, on the subject of offering a reward for the discovery of the body of Mr. M‘Gowran,•or M'Guire, I have been directed by the board of guardians of this parish, at their weekly meeting held to-day, to inquire what they are to understand by the expression contained in your reply of the 12th, That you are unable to en tertain the application of the guardians that a reward should be offered by the Government for the discovery of Mr. M'Gowran, alias M'Guire, until you receive a communication from the magistrate before whom the case is in the course of investigation.' Whether it is that the magistrate is first to communicate with you on this subject, or you with him; because, if the former should be the case, the chairman of the board of guar dians has informed the board that having waited on the magistrate, in consequence of your letter, he was informed by him that no communication of the kind could originate with him, as the magistrate; but that the matter rested entirely with the Secretary of State. The man is still missing (now upwards of three weeks), and the guardians ate still decidedly of opinion that M'Guire has met with a violent death, and that his body is con cealed; that a reward should be offered, and that imme diately, for the discovery of it; and that without such recourse it will not be forthcoming, which of course will impede, if not defeat entirely, the ends of justice. "I have the honour to be, Sir George, " Your most obedient humble servant, " for T. M. LONELAND, " Clerk to the Guardians. " W. L. DIGGING. " To the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart., " Secretary of State, Whitehall." The letter above alluded to, of the 12th instant, bore the signature of Mr. G. C. Lewis, and it may perhaps lee as well to state that the Commissioners of Police had requested some days previously copies of the depositions in this case, which were of course irn mediately supplied. Upon - the accused being placed in the dock yes terday, Mr. Russell, superintendent of the B division, inti mated that no clue to the missing man had been discovered, but said he held in his hand a document from the head office, in which the Government directed a reward of 50/. to be offered for the missing person. - Mr. BRODERIP observed that he was happy to hear it, as it might be the means of throwing some light upon the matter, which was at present involved in utter darkness. The prisoners were then again remanded for ano ther week. Mr. Ryder, the chairman of the board of guar dians, who was present, expressed his gratification at the intelligence communicated by the inspector, and said that if even the suspicion of M'Gowran having ' met his death by foul means should prove unfounded, and he should he discovered, under any circum stances, yet alive, his appearance would allay the excitement and anxious feeling exhibited in the parish. Large posting bills with reference to the above, offering the reward of 501., were yesterday evening circulated throughout the police district, stating that that amount would be paid to any person who should give such information and evidence as might lead to the discovery of the murderer or murderers (the first portion of the placard setting forth that he is supposed to have been murdered), and the Secretary of State will advise the grant of her Majesty's gracious pardon to any accomplice, not being the actual perpetrator of the murder, who shall give such information and evi dence as shall lead to the same result. WORSHIP STREET. WILLIAM JONES AND TUE PALACH COURT.-Mr. Robert Manning Knowles, an auctioneer and ap praiser, carrying on business in Great Cambridge street, llackney-road, appeared to a summons before Mr. Arnold, to show cause why he unlawfully de tained a feather-bed, of the value of 81., the property of William Jones, the working gunsmith, whose case has recently attracted so much public sympathy and attention. It may be recollected, from the particulars that had previously transpired in connexion with the case, that on the occasion of the zeizure of the complainant's goods, which he valued at fifty guineas, under a writ of fieri facias issued by the Palace Court, for a debt of 31. 18s. due to a loan society at Stepney, but which was magnified by the costs of the proceedings there to 91. ls., amongst the articles so taken was the feather bed in dispute, which was removed with the rest of the property to the defendant's ware rooms, where they were sold at auction, by the defendant himself, within four day's afterwards ; but the com plainant, who personally attended the sale, on looking over the lots, immediately afterwards discovered, as he alleged, that instead of his own bed, another of a very inferior description had been substituted in the interim, and knocked down at 1/. 16s. He had since made repeated efforts to procure the restitution of his bed, or some satisfaction for its value, bat had been wholly unsuccessful, and was, therefore, com pelled to adopt the present proceedings to enforce the recovery. The complainant now attended to give evidence in support of the charge, but on entering the witness-box, Mr. ARNOLD intimated that the terms of the statute under which the summons was taken out precluded him from receiving his testimony, and that he must strictly confine himself to such secondary evidence as he might be enabled to bring forward in reference to the matter in dispute. The complainant therefore called Mrs. Sarah Slaith, his mother-in-law, a respect able-looking widow, living in Margaret-place, Gold smith's. row, Hackney, who stated that she was hastily summoned, about the 3d of September, to her son-in-law's house, on reaching which she found that four of his rooms had been completely stripped of all their furniture, with the exception of a few old chairs, a small bed used by the children, and one or two other articles, the whole of which were not worth 30s. The complainant' s b e d, w hich she had seen in the house a few days previous, was amongst the he goodso taken, and o n attending with her sona de fendant's auction-r o om immediately th e sale of his things was over, he pointed out to her the bed which had been sold as his own, and complained that the latter had been substituted for it. He requested her to examine the bed in question, as she had made and stuf f e d Jones's bed herself, the original value of which was at least ten guineas, and she at once observed that it was greatly inferior in quality, and of an altogether different appeara nce . She also noticed the bolster and one of the pillows were not her son-in•law's, but that the second pillow was, and bore his name upon the case of it. She drew the attention of the defendant to the substitution which had been effected, but he stated that it was the same which his servants had brought to his premises, and told her that he considered it had fetched a good price at 365. Even allowing for several years' wear, Jones's bed was worth at least eight guineas at the time it was taken under the execution, and if she had been in want of such an article she would herself have been glad to give six guineas for it, as it was exceed ingly well worth it. Mr. Solomon Lazarus, a broker and furniture dealer, in the Bethnal-green-road, proved attending the sale of Jones's goods, part of which lie himself bought, and that he heard the latter complaining of his bed having been changed for another then in the room, which was knocked down to the defendant's TATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. 26.

Reader, remember, this letter was put fat the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the oSicacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weak) , inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladles would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the abovefact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may nse this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of neyous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' howls, it has such a peculiar cooling influenee on the brain as to pre vent Convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.--See pamphlet of testimonials.

V own , porter for 365. This bed witness had examine, previous to its being put up for sale, and found it to be stuffed with common brown feathers, not worth more than 9d. per p oun d, w hil s t th ose since shown him in a pillow belonging to the complainant were of a very superior description, and worth at least ls. 9d. per pound. He had previously seen the same porter bidding for various other lots, which were knocked down to him, and he and other brokers tried to in duce him not to do so, but he continued bidding, and they therefore left off competing with him as useless. Mr. King, a broker in Old-street, remarked that the bed had gone too cheap, but witness told him the fact of the porter having bought it, and King, who would have given more for it if the porter had not bid, offered to give the latter an increased amount for it, but he refused to take it. The witness added that had the bed sold been filled with the same feathers as those in the pillow produced, alleged to belong to Jones's bed, it would have been worth to a broker about 4/. or 51. Mr. King, a solicitor, who appeared for the de fendant, after assuring the magistrate that his client was most anxious to court the fullest investigati,m into the whole transaction, adverted to the statement previously made by the complainant, that the whole of his property, to the value of at least 501., had been swept off under the execution, whereas the fact was that the defendant had no power to take more than, according to the valuation, would be sufficient to cover the debt, costs, and expenses, and the goods when sold had only realised about 7s. more than the amount of his original estimate. He wished also to explain that the execution was in reality levied by an officer of the Palace Court, named Griffiths, who had afterwards employed his client in the ordi nary course of business to make a valuation and sale of the furniture, and it would be manifest that ho could have no pecuniary motive in seizing for more than he was authorised, when he mentioned that he was only allowed a per centage upon the actual sum for which execution was levied. He was bound, also, by the Act to leave Si. worth of goods in the place, which had been actually done in this instance, and he was prepared with evidence to prove that the bed sold was the same he had taken from the complainant's house, and which before its removal he had only an praised at two guineas. Michael iyard, assistant to Pinner, one of the Palace Court officers, but acting under Griffiths, the bailiff of the court, stated that he was left in posses sion under the fieri facias, 'and was present when the goods were transferred to the defendant's pre mises, the defendant himself, accompanied by his porter, witness, Griffiths, and a Palace Court assistant named Hickey, following behind the van. The wit ness, with some hesitation, added that he had noticed the complainant's bed at the time of its removal, but whether that actually sold at the sale was the same he could not state, as he was called out from the auction to see a gentleman. Charles Baldwin, the defendant's porter, deposed to his having deposited Jones's bed in his master's premises, where, in the interval between its removal and sale, it remained under the care of himself and defendant's wife. He could state distinctly that the bed sold at the auction was that taken from 'Jones's house, and though he certainly bid for and purchased a bed then sold, he did not buy the one in question, which was knocked down to a stranger, to whom be himself delivered it. (The complainant, with much earnestness, interrupted the witness with the excla mation, " You know that you did purchase the bed, and I have another person present who can prove the fact.") In answer to questions from the magistrate, the witness subsequently admitted that he only took sufficient notice of the complainant's bed to observe that it was a feather one, and that though he believed it was the same one sold at the auction, he could not identify it by any marks. Mr. ARNOLD said, that though he entirely acquitted the defendant of the slightest culpability in the trans action, he could not help saying that, after the evi dence he had heard, there could be no doubt whatever that, whether arising from the confusion of business, or whatever other cause, the bed sold at the sale was not that taken from the complainant under the execution ; and that as it had been clearly proved to have been in the possession of his servants, the defendant would un doubtedly be liable for the difference between the value of his bed and the price that the other had realized. He felt considerable difficulty, however, in adjudicating upon the case, from his not being em powered to examine the complainant himself, whose allegations were, in great measure, denied by the de fendant ; and he would, therefore, put it for their con sideration whether the matter should be transferred to a county court, where both parties could be examined upon oath and the real facts arrived at ; or that he should deliver his decision upon the somewhat imperfect evidence adduced before him. The defendant's solicitor said that he also felt the difficulty to ;villa) the magistrate referred, as his client laboured under the disadvantage of having his wife's evidence excluded, and suggested that it would he a more advisable course that the magistrate should, for the present, suspend his decision, as a ru'e nisi had been granted in the Palace Court, on an application to reverse the original judgment, which came on fur argument in a day or two, and if it were m ide ab,o lute, the complainant woul I be placed in a position to claim full compensation fur the losses he had sustained from the partiei who had sued him. Mr. ARNOLD coincided in this suggestion, and finally determin,d to adjourn his judgment for a week. TILE AltlllY.
