Aided by an eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying eur material so that acids do not affect it ; it is now so well known and appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver, can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles that are in silver, from which it can only be told by reference to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's Pattern.

BROOKS and CO. having been informed of the circum stances, waited on Mr. Stewart, of Ironmonger-lane, the Soli citor, and offered to dispose of the Stock to the Publi c i n s i x weeks, at such reduction as is necessary to turn it into cash immediately, Brooks and Co., contrary to the first intention, have deter mined to dispose of it to private families, in parcels of five to twenty pounds worth, at an unheard-of reduction.

Brooks and Co. have undertaken to clear off the whole of this Stock by the time of the next meeting of creditors, May 16th, consequently wherelarge quantities are taken the reduc tion will be made accordingly, and as a further inducement to large purchasers, 2i per cent. will be taken off all bills above 51., and 5 per cent. when the bill exceeds 101. As this advertisement is inserted by the direction of the assignees in all the country as well as the London papers, an early inspection is solicited, as country drapers, knowing of this bankruptcy, will be anxious to make purchases on so favourable an occasion.

" This is a work which must take its place in the foremost ranks. A tone of powerful satire—a nice discrimination of cha racter—the talent of closing periods with the point of an epi gram—a spirited piece of description—a sarcastic power of com paring men's outward actions with their inward motives—in fact, the higher attributes which mark the satirist, all conspire to render this a work of infinite instruction and amusement. % Metropolitan.

" We, the undersigned, have been for some time making use of Messrs.

It stands unrivalled for its cleat:nes; and facility in writing, being free from that gelatinous deposit which clogs and corrodes the metallic pen. As a preventive of fraud in banking and other commercial transactions, it p►eseuts an important gua rantee, as it is indestructible (without injuring the surface of the paper) by any of the chemical agents which destroy the common inks. The colour of the Nickel Ink is a Scheeles green, but it dries a vivid and permanent black—a striking con trast to the rusty black of other inks and writing fluids. Sold by W.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. TIMES.—The English funds are still advancing, and there appears to be no bound to the rise. The jobbers evinced great anxiety to buy, and hence the improvement of Consols fer Money to 93 to e. In the Foreign Stock and Share Markets the half-monthly settlements take place to-morrow. Cash, as it does not com mand more than a nominal rate in the English market, will be easy here, since the dealers will be glad to " loan " it out at a prise likely to yield a profit, though it be small, rather than allow it to lie idle at their bankers'. In the Foreign Stocks the chief " differences" will accrue on Mexican, which has suffered a relipse on the " making up " price of last account of about 4 per cent. ; others have fluctuated in a very trifling degree.

Mr. Sergeant SHEA—Answer We question. Mr. Wren—Realiy these questions are coming so near home, that I must decline to answer them.—( Laughter. ) The question was pressed, the room was cleared, and the Committee decided that Air. Wren must anewer the question ; he then said he believed he handed into the Committee at Southampton a list, in which he required not 901., but be tween 50/. and 601. Mr. Wrenn was then asked to state the names of voters on his list, but he declined to answer. The Clerk told him he most answer, and he then said who they were. Mr. AUSTIN then cross-examined Mr. Wrenn as to whe ther he had not given certain information to the Liberal party. Mr. Wrenn denied this insinuation, and was permitted to iv. it hdraw. Captain Ward, the Chairman of the Conservative Com mittee, was then examined. lle never paid a farthing towards the expenses of the election, except, he be t eyed, the price of a box of lucifer matches.—(Laughter ) He gave the cause only his time and labour, and knew nothing about payments of money of any kind on account of the elec tion. Ile never told Mr. Mabsun to send him a certain cheque book, or any other book or document, and had no recollection whatever of receiving one from him in the month of January, or about four months after the election. Mr. COCK et; /LN said, theevid;neeOlt he missing cheque-book was of the utmost importance to the petitioners, and they must by every means trace it. After some delay Mr. llabson was re-called, and examined by Mr. COCK BU R N—You have said you sent certain documents connected with the late election to Captain Ward within four months after the election ? I did, but I cannot say by whom. Is the person by whom you sent the cheque-book still in your employment ? No ; for I have lately given up my business. At length witness named Re&de, Penny, Frampton, and Aornsley, m e n employ e d by hi m , as h av i ng y lived near Captain Ward's place ; and he might or might not have sent the parcel by one of those. No one told bins to send the cheque-book to Captain Ward, but witness knew that to him, as Chairman of the Committee, all documents and books connected with the election were to be sent; and having met this book in regu lating his premises, he sent it over to Orchard-lane in January.

April 23. 49 ) 61° 37 38 42 48 28, 1842. _ Highest Lowest Daily Mean .... ••• General Register Office, April THE SKIN.—The increased quickening powers of the sun during Spring, by giving an additional stimulus to the circulation of the fluids, is frequently the cause of throwing to the surface of the body the impurities of the blood ; to this fact may be attributed the numerous cutaneous visitations which occur at this period of the year, and which medicine in ternally taken is frequently unable to banish. Tiie extraordi nary celebrity which lowland's Kalydor, as a purely vegetable production, has long claimed to itself, as a thorough extirliater of Impurities from the Skin, is during the period of Spring most pleasingly evinced ; it never fails of thoroughly cleansing the skin, and is remarkable for inducing a fairness in the com plexion previously unknown. morning notices were posted at Guildhall stating that the City authorities were ready to receive tenders for wood-pavement, to be laid down in Cornhill, Gracechurch street, Newgate-street, and part of the Old Bailey. In the latter place the octagon-block pavement laid down before the Central Criminal Court is a complete failure, the carriage road being in a worse state than it was under the old plan. DISTRICTS. PENRYN AND FALMOUTH. The Committee chosen to try the merits of the petition in this ease, assembled at one o'clock-. The Committee was composed of Mr. Hardy, Mr. P. Scrape, Mr. Back, Mr. Busfield, Major C. Bruce, the Hon. Otway Cave, and Mr. Charles Wood, Chairman. Mr. Searjant Wrangham, Mr. Talbot, and Mr. Waddington, appeared as counsel for the petitioner, and Messrs. Cockburn and Kingleake, for the sitting Member. The Committee having come to the usual preliminary reso lutions, 111 r. Sergeant Wit ANG HAM stated the grounds of the peti tion. In the present case it was alleged that a system of gross bribery and corruption was acted upon at the last election of Penryn by Capt. Plumridge and his agente, and it was alleged in the petition that hehad not sufficient property to qualify him fora Member of Parliament. The nomination took place on the 30th of June, and the polling on the Ist of July, when Mr. Vivian and Capt. Plumridge were declared to be duly elected. The two other candidates were Mr. Gwynn and Mr. Sar toris. The petition was not directed against the return of Mr. Vivian, but only against Captain Plumridge, and the number of persons who toted for him and Mr. Gwynn, who was next on the poll, were For Captain Plumridge Fur Mr. Gwynn 43'2 381 Leaving a Majority of 5l ill favour of the sitt.ng Member. The Leirned Gentleman said that, he would first go into the question of bribery and treating ; but before he would do so he would state the grounds on which they considered he had nut sufficient qualification. READING. The Committee appointed to try the merits of this election sat to-day for the tiest time, at eleven o'clock. The Members forming the Committee were Mr. Hogg, Chairman. Lord Seymour. Mr. Mackenzie, Mr. Bramston, Mr. C. Boger, Mr. T. Egerton, and Mr. H. Howard. Mr. Sergeant Merewether, Mr. Austin. and Mr. Talbot were Counsel for the sitting Members, Lord Chelsea and Mr. Charles Russell; and Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Phillips ap peared for the petitioner, Mr. T. Mills, the defeated candidate. The petition of Mr. Mills prayed that the election might be declared null and void o❑ the ground of bribery and corruption on behalf of the sitting Members. The Cuataarav, at the commencement of the proceedings, stated that the Committee did not think it necessary to enter into any particular resolution, except one with regard to the exclusion of witnesses, and the usual one in eases of bribery. The preliminary proceedings of the Committee having been gone through, Mr. COCKBURN addressed the Committee on the, behalf of the petitioner. The petition related to the late election for Reading, and complained that that election and ret urn had been obtained by means of bribery and treating, and other corrupt practices ; and the petitioner sought only to void the return, the petitioner making no claim to the seat. The Com mittee therefore would not be troubled with a scrutiny. At the last election for Reading there were four candidates—Mr. Russell, Lord Chelsea, Mr. Mills, and Mr. Tooke; and the nambers at the close of the poll were the following : Mr. Russell 576 Lord Chelsea Mr. Mills 4lO Mr. Tooke Now the petitioner ascribed that state of circumstances to the corrupt practices of which he complained. Up to within a short period of the election the unsuccessful candidates had reason to believe that their interests were advancing with every prospeet of success; it appeared, however, that some time before the election a system of treating to an enormous extent, to an extent. unparalleled in modern history. was adopted by the successful candidates, and that bribery of a wholesale description was resorted to. Lord Chelsea and Mr. Russell stood upon the same interest, and acted in con cert, and vote.: were solicited for them in common. The head quarters of Mr. Russell was the Bear Inn, and those of Lord Chelsea the Crown ; there were Committees at each, and also at an inn in Reading called the Broad Face. It could hardly be expected that the petitioner would be able to lay before the Committee all the eases of bribery that had taken place. All that could reasonably be expected was, that some of those eases should be brought forward, and if he only proved one case, that. would be sufficient for the purpose of flaying the election de clared void. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to detail same of the cases in which bribery had taken place; in one an offer had been made of 351. for a vote, and refused. The voter refusing to take that sum, an otter was made hie nfa situation on the Great Western Railway, which he accepted, arid voted for the two sitting Members. The Learned Gentle man then went on to detail several 'other cases in which bribes on behalf of the sitting Members had taken place, and concluded by expressing a confident hope that the Committee would de clare the election void. A short discussion then took place as to the production of the poll-hooks, when it was arranged that. they should be produced to-morrow, at eleven o'clock, to whicl► hour the Committee adjourned. NATIONAL CONVENT lON. 'lhe Convention met yesterday, at the usual hour, in the large room, Dr. Johnson's Tavern:Fleet-street. Mr. Duncan in the Chair. The minutes of the last Sitting were confirmed. Mr. llaitisTor; brought up the Report of the Committee appointed t.) obtain the release of all political prisoners. 'flip Committee had had an interview with Mr. Duncembe, who had suggested the propriety of waiting on the represent atives of those places in which the parties had been arrested. The Committee had, in consequence, adopted the suggestion.
